NEW WOMAN IN LITERATURE.
Jeannette Glider Gives Her Ideas Goncerr

Jeannette Glider Gives Her Ideas Concern
 ing the Talked of Creature.
 The new woman of the novelist IS merely one of Dr. Max Nordau's s degen- crates. She is the creation of a writer who is hysterical and degenerate, and the world takes her as something that really exists. To be sure, there are plenty of women with ''pasts" and with "yearnings. and there always have been and probably always will be, but l doubt if any woman outside of all insane asylum talks the rubbish about spiritual impacts, tells that i've are tones of one chord, and about the 'Vile slavery" of marriage. as do the women of Miss Rendered and Mr Grant Allen. Writers of this sort do not represent the women of the day any more than the painted women of the streets represent the wom- en of good society.
 The janndiced writers of 1.-The Tel low Book cannot be expected to give us pictures of healthy lives. Their tastes run to worm eaten fruit. They have no liking for that which is red with the hue of health. They prefer the yellow hue of decay Dr. Nordau is quite right when he calls it disease. The heroines of "The Yellow Book, D of "Discords" :" and of "Wreckage" might have been taken from Lombroso's study of the fe- male offender, If they exist outside of their creators $ brains. their cases will be found recorded in scientific studies of criminology or in the ordinary police re- ports.
 Tho new woman as find her outside of the pages of fiction is an industrious, healthy minded healthy bodied young person, with certain amount of inde. pendenee, who cares more for out of dool sports than for indoor follies, and who if she has work to do does 1t and does not waste her time in telling about it. Her spirits run high over the adventures of A Gentleman of France, she laughs and cries by turns ever "Trilby" and thinks "The Dolly Dialogues great fun, but for Yellow Discords" and the like she has no use.
 am happy to say that little of the hysterical literature of the day originates in this country. It is almost entirely of English origin. Some of our younger writers have tried their hands at it, but they do not take to it naturally, and it is fast going out of fashion.
 There always will be handful of people who like erotica, but think there has been turn in the tide which even at its highest never swamped the writers of purer fiction. Rudyard Kip ling and Mrs. Humphry Ward have many more readers than Grant Allen and Mary L. Rendered. and in this country our writers of clean fiction ars the most popular -Jeannette Glider.

RAFFLED HIM OFF.
How Georgia Methodists Entertained au
 Unweleome Preacher.

The spectacle of the stewards of a church railing off minister was pre- sented at Parrott, Ga, the other day The Methodist congregation there was having a revival, which had dragged along until the congregation had be- come worn out with churchgoing, and especially with entertaining visiting brethren, who had come from all around to help on the good work.
 The last preacher came an unwelcome guest, as the sequel proved. Nobody wanted him, and a meeting of the stew ards was called to determine how they should provide for him.
 Finally it was decided to raffie the preacher off, and this actually happened, the steward throwing the lowest dice taking the minister and providing for his physical wants during the closing hours of the revival New York Re- corder

FROM present indications it seems that the members of the Little Rock Free Silver Club have about decided to parcel out the offices of the State and Pulaski county among them selves. They doubtless had their own candidacy in view when they 'resoluted" to support none but free silver men from constable up to Governor. The Little Rock Silver Club is composed of men who are ardent silverites for office only.

Can't Slip the Trolley.

A trolley wheel which cannot jump off the wire has been invented by a Milwaukee street car superintendent
 On each side of the wheel proper there is a spiral groove. When the wheel jumps from the wire, the latter lodges in the groove, and is at once carried back to its proper place. The trolley wheel and grooves are six inches in width, which is sufficient to meet 99 out of 100 displacements of the wheel.

CHICAGO, July l0.-Crowds stormed
the Coliseum tonight in anticipation of
another oratorical display such rs they
listened to last night, but they were
doomed to disappointment, as the lead
ers had decided, after consultation, not
to proceed with the nomination of the
vice president tonight. But, all un-
conscious of this determination, the
public pushed into their place in the
bewildering galleries. They cheered and
shouted, while the band played "Colum-
bia, Gem of the Ocean, "Dixie,''
Marching Through Georgia" and some
other popular ballads.
The effect of the electric light spark
ling over the vast audience, which
crowded the ampitheater until the joints
threatened to burst, was most brilliant.
At 8:55 Chairman White, by dint OF
much rapping, managed to bring the

as to create any uneaSinesS in the minds of

envy OF her classmates. Although but a

was phenomenal. She was possessed, how.
