THE ST. PAUL'S CHANGES.
She Starts, She Moves She Begins to Feel the Thrill of Life Along Her
 Keel.

New York, Feb. 3.-A high tide and a heavy northeast wind materially aided the wreckers at work on the stranded steamship St Paul this morn ing. The tugs began hauling on the big ship as early as 10 o'clock. She rocked in her cradle in the sand and this gave the wreckers an advantage they have not yet had in their work. At noon the wreckers ceased hauling on the steamer When work was stopped they had moved the big ship fully 25 feet
 The tugs made no attempt to work on the steamer this afternoon because of the low tide but operat tions were resum- ed about 10 o'clock tonight. At midnight the ships officer reported over the tele- phone that the four tugs had succeeded in moving the ship about l5O feet in a northeasterly direction.
 At II 30 the tide commenced falling, but work was not relaxed.

 At midnight 1t was stated that If the St. Paul was not f1oated tonight she will go out with the next flood tide, which occurs about noon tomorrow.

With all her genius, knowledge and ex- perience, she is still a womanly woman" MT. R. H. Watkins said of her: "I do not marvel at the enthusiasm Mrs. French-Sheldon has provoked here. I say provoked because she has way of arresting intelligences and provoking them to activity and anon to pleasure, that they have been set to performing to some purpose, and to good purpose. The high grace and charm of Mrs. Shell don's deliyerances in the parlor and on the rostrun are nobility of motive and peculiarly sympathetic adaptability to the aspirations of others, so that she Is a wonderful interpreter of human nature, which she has studied in all climes and many countries"
 Mrs. Sheldons subject will be Thrill ing Experiences" and her lecture will be She will also display the costllest court dresses and the most won derful collection of diamonds and jewels that have ever been seen in the south.
