Sab Has Analysed Them From
Several Standpoints.
THE ATHLETIC SPECIES
She Styles the New Woman as
the Masculine Fool.
TEMPERANCE IN EVERY THING
Intemperance in a Woman is Excusabie
Only in Love When She Gives
All Her Love to One

I have always had a great admira-
ton for that much lamented lady who,
on her death-bed, confided to her doc
tor the secret of her popularity. She
said, as she looked up at him with eyes
| overlooking with kindness and love,
II always had patience with fools" |
wonder how many kinds of fools she
had met? They are all over the face
Of the earth, but they differ. Did YOU
ever look at a bunch of asparagus {?
One stalk is thick, one is thin, one is
crinkled up, one is stubby, but they
all have the same green ends. That is
the way with the fools. Although, be-
tween you and me, / don't think there
il the same delight in a bunch of fools
that there is in q bunch of asparagus
And yet, if you look at a fool from the
standpoint of folly alone, there is a
certain amount of pleasure in him.
But if he happens to be mixed up in
business transaction, in a family az
fair, or in something that is going
TO hurt somebody's heart, then beware
Of the fool!
A fool that too often appears in so
ciety is the jocular fool. He tells stories
over which the grass grew hundreds
OF years ago. He tells stories
Of which he forgets the point. And,
most devilish of all, there are times
when even a fool seems to have an
ability peculiar to the devil, he asks
conundrums. With a CYCLE, he expects
you to trouble yourself about them.
For the jOcular fool, the best here
after would seem to be a continual
reading of the jokes of Joe Miller and
the works of Mark Twain. Can there
be anything more dreadful? To have
to read Mark Twain at all is diaboli-
cal, but to read him forever and for
ever would be worse than any hell that
Dante ever pictured. Next to the jok-
ing fool comes the gushing fool. This
type may be either masculine or fem
mime. If it is feminine, and you are
a woman, it kisses you, addresses you
as darling or sweetheart, and calls
on whoever may be about to admire
your virtues. If you happen to be
masculine, this fool says, Isn't he
great man? Did you ever hear any
thing so clever in all your life, and
isn't he the handsomest man you ever
saw?" An eternal kick awaits this
fool.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-06-21

Next in order comes the athletic
fool. He or she spends the greater part
of the money possessed in getting
golf suits, tennis suits or bycicle suits.
That you shouldn't play golf or tennis
or ride the bike is a surprise to the
athletic fool. That you should care, on
a sunshiny day, for a pleasant corner
of the piazza and an interesting book,
is something not understood by the
athletic fool, who expects you to come
out in the sun and work at the chosen
enjoyment (?) until your hair is out of
crimp, until the perspiration is stream
ing down your face, and until you
are blowzy and look like anything but
a gentlewoman. Don't misunderstood
me; / approve of outdoor sports, but.
just as I approve of indoor ones, in
moderation. | am a temperate wo-
man, not a prohibitionist, but when I
hear the athletic fool talk of his golf
stick, his tcnnis racquet or his bike all
day iong, / am sure that lis hereafter
will be one of quiet medita+ion He
or if his Sex is she, will hava N learn
the delight of sitting still BY the'~ve
this is essentially becoming to wo-
men, and / wonder that more of them
haven't found out how attractive per-
feet stiffness is.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-06-21

The fool on bike is much more diff
ficult to bear than any other kind. He
gets a wild look in his face, and he
gets to think that no people except
those on bicycles are worth consider
alton. If he happens to be she, and
some other she says to her: 'Oh, L
saw such a pretty gown" the bicycle
fool saws: do you wear boomers or
knicl<ers under it?" She has forgotten
all gowns except those that are to be
worn astride the wheel, and, too of
ten, she forgets all virtues that may
be cultivated except those governed
bv the laws of the road and her special
cycle club.
Among the he fools one of the most
offensive is the ladylille one. His
clothes are immaculate; his voice, even
in speaking, is tenor, and he does
lovely drawn work, speaks of his moth
er as Mamma" and likes the dear
girls. oh! ever so much better than
| the nasty men. / don't believe there
is anv hereafter for him. Honestly
I don't. because I don't think he has
a soul. One of this class met wo-
man I know, and when she saw thai
he was in deep mourning, she express
ed her sympathy for any trouble he
might have had. This was his res
ponse: eyes, my dear mamma is dead
but, after all am not as unhappy az
YOU would think, because [ have the
most lovely pajamas in white silk will
| black collars and cuffs, and L veal
/ pearl links and pearl buttons will
! them" And the lady who had con
1oled with him wondered if a woman
hid brought this thing into the world
whether it had grown up, like some
lother mean little weed, under toad
stoo.

Personally, l am q believer in tenn
perance, but / think people ought to
be just as temperate with their words
as with their wine, and just as temper
ate in their judgments as with their
tea. Green tea, taken strong, has done
as much harm, if not more, than whis-
key. And yet, how good a cup of tea
is-of good tea; of that kind of tea
that, when the hot water is put on it,
sends up a fragrance like a thanks
giving, a liquid without the crudeness
Of the green tea. and without the bit
tsrness of the black tea, is tea pure
and simple, amber in color, exquisite
of taste and bracing in effect. This
kind of tea has no bad aftertime. And
80 many of our pleasures have! If
you dance all night until broad day
light and go home with the girls in
che morning, your head, not your heels,
aches dreadfully. and the figures in
the day book waltz in the queerest sort
of fashion. If you commence to play
cards at 10 o'clock and don't stop until
the chimes of the mill<man are heard
yo' are too apt to be left with one
pin nip and no money for the matt
nee. you have an enhancing book
and read until the late night and the
early morning meet, how peculiar ones
eyes feel the next day. IF you eat
lobster and soft shell crabs and chick
en- and asparagus and strawberries,
that nice way in whipped cream, and
almond cakes and a few sweets, and
a little more fruit, you like it, but
OH how much better does your doc
tor like it, and how rapidly does your
bill at the druggists run up. There is
no pleasure in life that is a pleasure
all the way through unless it is tenn
perately taken. Oh, know as we'll
as you do that there is always a time
when we are Incorporate with every
thing. We give all our love to one
man.

HUBBARD BROS. & co.'s LETTEE

HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S LETTER.
New York, June 20.-(Special.) 1.-The
weather report in the Chronicle was
of such character as to stimulate
Liverpool where the advance exceeded
the improvement yesterday and our
market opened steady on the execu-
ton of buying orders. In our market
the trade expects rain to fall in Texas
any day, and they were, therefore,
eager to take advantage of the adj
vance abroad. From Houston we hear
of half an hours rain, at Wharton and
elsewhere hot and dry, while at Gal
weston the indications are fair wealth
er. The trade thinks it possible that
showers may fall before Monday, and
they have sold freely all day, expect
ing a reaction in Liverpool when that
market opens. Outside of the weather
conditions, the market pays no atten-
ton to the continued decrease in the
visible supply, at the rate of 100000
bales per week. In short, the feeling
is bearish, based upon the good crop
reports except from Texas, and there
they expect them to change for the
better at any time.

italist, what will become of us?
In order to pursue this matter to its
mournful end, continues the Press an
inquiry must be instituted into our ac-
treSseS ages, to see how long we may
hope to have them. We find that Fanny
Davenport is two years younger than
Clara Norris, who is five years older
than Rose Coghlan, who is eleven years
younger than Kate Claxton, who is
eighteen years older than Georgia Cay
van, who is fifteen years younger than
Agnes Booth, who is sixteen years older
than Maud Harris, who is three years
younger than Mrs. Carter, who is two
years older than Ada Renan. To arrive
at this ungallant purpose more directly
we discover that Miss Rehan was
born in the same moon that got full
astronomically speaking, although bib
ulous beatitude would have been let
off with a light fine in the circumstances
to celebrate the natal night of our
golden diva. The man in the moon
blessed both Of those beautiful babies,
and the date of his benediction was
the year 1850. Therefore it happened
that thirty-siX years ago. although sep
arated by 5000 miles of land and sea,
the cradles Of both these youngsters
were rocked by greatness, and they
grew up twins, like two lovely berries
nodded on one stem. Ada toddled along
the banks Of the Shannon into Shake
speare, while Lillian embarked from
Clinton, Iowa, into music and matri-
mony Lillian has had too many hus-
bans. Ada too few; and we think it
would have been better, if they had
struck an average, giving a spouse to
each and leaving Signor Perugini in
maiden meditation, fancy free. But
that is domestic matter into which we
have no right to intrude. What we
wanted to arrive at was the fact that,
Notwithstanding their bewitching ap-
pearance, few of our best actresses are
in the first bloom of youth.
LONDON, July 1S.-One of the most
interesting revivals of recent years will
be seen next September when Sir Henry
Irving will produce "Cymbellino" at the
Lyceum theater. Sir Henry re-enters
into possession of the Lyceum on July
%, when Forbes Robinson's lease ex-
pires.
Eric Mckay is not at all pleased at
the announcement that NJ. Sardou has
received commission from Sir Henry
Irving to prepare play for the Ly-
ceum. dealing with the French revo-
luton and having Rovestierro for its
central figure. Mr.. Mckay had been
building up a drama on precisely the
same theme during the past year.
Another theater is to be added to the
increasing list of London suburban play
houses. The plans and site of a big
house to be erected in FuIham, one of |
the most populous districts of greater
London, have been approved by the |
London county council, and building
operations will be begun at once.

Maud Adams and Blanche. Walsh
there is not a female player of fine
talent on our stage at present who is

MARY FREEMAN'S PAST.

Light Shed Upon the History of the
Suicide.
1t was learned yesterday that Mary
Freeman, the woman whose dead body
was found in. an clubhouse at Liberty
park Friday afternoon, was a nurse by
profession. She had for the past
month boarded with Mrs. Conley, PIG
West Fourth North street AS far as
can be ascertained she came here from
Portland, Oregon.
1t was rumored that about a
week ago her brother from
San Francisco, California, was in
the city searching for her, but failed to
ascertain where she was stopping. He
learned that woman answering her
description had gone to Montana. and
a few days ago he departed for Butte
and Helena.
An inquest has not been held, and
the funeral has not been arranged for,
the coroner believing he may discover
someone that has an interest in the sui

A letter from Professor Stephens to
the writer dated at Denver, the 18th,
states that the eisteddfod committee
were to meet that night to consider
what inducament they could offer the
tabernacle choir to visit Denver as one
of the big eisteddfod features. 1t is
understood that the expense of trans
porting 800 people would be at least
81, 600, and that Mr.. Stephens is unWill-
ing to make the trip with his singers
unless Denver provides at least $1,000.
There are already over 800 entries in
music, art and literature, he says, but
the committee feels rightly that the
biggest feature Of all would be the
great Mormon choir Mr.. Stephens and
his companion, Mr.. Christopherson,
are being lionized by the Welsh people
of Denver, and he says the hospitality
he experiences is of the reath-taking
order. He has put in one day at Glen
wood and will linger in the mountains
ten days longer before returning home.
The Denver Republican speaks as
follows of Professor Stephens errand
to Denver:
Professor Evan Stephens, director of
the Mormon tabernacle choir of Salt
Lake City, an organization numbering
500 members, is in Denver endeavoring
to complete arrangements for bringing
800 of his singers to the eisteddfod eel
eoration next September. 1t is the
desire of Professor stephens to have
his singers take part in the festival,
but they will not compete in any of
the chorus contests, as the rules of the
directors limit competing choirs to $50
members. His principal reason for
bringing so large a number of vocalists
from Salt Lake City is to show the
Denver chorus that their efforts and
cooperation in the aisteddfod meeting
last fall in Salt Lake City were gen.
timely appreciated
Although the choir as a whole will
not contest for prizes, many of it's
members will compete in the different
classes of singing. The choir, which is
composed exclusively of Morinons with
a Mormon leader, includes in its mem
bership two daughters and several
grandsons and granddaughter of
Brigham Young. At least 800 visitors
will come from Utah with the singers,
and Denhalter's band Of forty pieces,
Professor Peterson, director, will fur
nish music during the trip. The lat
ter organization is listed to compete
in one of the band contests. On their
way to Denver the two organizations
viii give concerts at Leadville anQ
Peublo.
If the choir and Denhalters band
really visit Denver. they will represent
musical Salt Lake in truly deserving
fashion The band, under Professor
Peterson. is doing some great work
nowadays, and is building up a fund
from the Sunday series of concerts at
Saltair, part of the proceeds of which
go to their benefit. Everyone ought to
feel interested enough in the bands
going to Denver to help build up its
fund to the needed proportions. Con-
cert No. will be given today.
At the Grand 'She" will be succeed
ed by The Police Patrol, sensa-
tional play for which there is some
admirable printing out. The galleries
may be relied on to do their full duty
