The First Woman Editor.

Apropos Of the death of Mrs
Nicholson OF the New Orleans
Picayune, the Hartford Courant
asserts that 1t has the honor to
claim the first woman editor and
proprietor the country can boast.
Widow Watson had never heard
Of woman's rights, She lived 120
years ago. Yet she edited and
controlled the Courant, and that
with hand type, hand press and
hand power. Her success was
great, and among her subscribers
she counted George Washington
himself. In ITS she married 8
prominent citizen of Hartford, and
like an old-time, dutiful wife,
surrendered to him the manage
ment OF affairs. Nevertheless for
a considerable period OF time the
Widow Watson was the Courant,
and the paper is here today, a
proof Of her success.

The Industry Of the Germans.

From the Sunday SPECTATOR
The German, plebian or patri.
clan, high or low, king or peasant,
is uniformly Industrious. He pro
badly is the least dependent OF oil
the classes. He is no less devoted
to his music than he is to his gar
uen. Whatever he does, is done
with an earnestness, a cOncent-a-
ton unswerving and continuous.
He fails less than any; he is not
above frugslity and knows what
to do with his means. He does
not run to the extreme in dress
and commonplace is to him as
satisfactory as the elegant. He
looks well to his health and none
surpass him in sturdiness and
strength. He is success not in
the sense Of making the most
show but in stability and prosper.

Induction Telegraphy.

Telegrapby by induction be.
tween parallel wires about two
miles apart was successfully
accomplished recently in Scotland
The cable connecting the isle Of
Null with Obsn broke, and expert.
ments were made before it was
repaired. The channel at the
point is from one and q quarter to
two miles wide, and the distance
between the overhead wire on the
isle OF Null and the mainland is
almost uniformly two miles. A
gutta percha insulated wire was
laid along the shore Of the main
land and grounded at each end.
A long inductive circuit was then
arranged, and messages sent
through either wire could be read
on the parallel wire. During four
days 100 messages were sent, be-
side press message OF 12O words.
The cable repairs were then COM
pleted.

American Money Keeping Many Thou
sands Alive.
LONDON, March I3.-The Con-
stantinople correspondent of the
Chronicle telegraphs that the
American donations are barely
keeping alive six thousand OF the
Armenian sufferers at Marash.
The allotment to each person is
only six pence weekly. The lead
ing men OF the place are still in
prison. The correspondent de-
scribes their tOrtures and suffer
ings, which were suspended when
the cousuls thronged to see lei.
toun, but which were renewed
after they had left. Refugees from
Zeitour are specially vietimized by
the Turks. A letter from Marasn
to Messins thanking the officers
and crew OF the United States war
ship Marblehead for their dona-
tions, attributes the safety OF
foreigners to the ships presence.
The situation at Aintab was never
more hopeless than it is now. The
governor tells the Christians that
their only chance Of security is to
abandon their religion and become
Moslems. Most Of the Christians
in the villages north and east Of
Aintab have foresworn their faith.
Four thousand persons are in an
absolutely destitute condition, and
they must all perish unless
European aid is sent to them. The
distress at Oorfa is so great that
even the distribution of a penny
to each family absorbs a large
sum.
The weather is the coolest that
has prevailed in Armenia for
years.

The exposure to all sorts and
conditions Of weather that lum-
herman is called upon to endure in
the camps often produces severe
colds, which, II not promptly
checked, result in congestion or
pneumonia. Mr.. J. o. Davenport,
ex.manager Of the Fort Bragg Red
wood Co., an immense institution
at Fort Bragg. Cal, says they sell
large quantities of Cham berlsin's
Cough Remedy, at the company's
store and that he has himself used
this remedy for a severe cold and
obtained immediate relief. This
medicine prevents any tendency of
a cold toward pneumonia and in
sures prompt recovery. For sale

Brice, Hill and Smith, will not
move finger to help him, because
they regard him as merely a
Cleveland dummy. In fact, neither
Brice nor German are taking the
slightest interest in the democratic
nomination for president. They
both regard the case as so hopeless
that they have declined even to
take the trouble to attend the
Chicago convention.
The friends OF Gov. Mckinley in
congress Indignantly deny the
report scattered broadcast by his
enimies that manufacturers are
being solicited to contribute to a
fund to beused to bring ab out his
nomination. They say that he
has no barrel and no need for one,
and that they daily grow more
confldant that is great personal
popularity will Insult in his nomi-
nation. REP.
F. Kalteyer & Son, c. Camp
bell and J. Clavin, druggists, San
Antonio, Texas, desire us to pub
lish the following extract from a
letter of Chas, NJ. Gutfeld, of Reed
ley, Fresno Co., CAL, as they ham
die the remedy referred to and
want their customers to know
what a splendid medicine it is:
"It is with pleasure 1 tell you
that by one days use of Chamber
lain's Cough remedy 1 was relieved
of very severe cold. My head
was completely stopped up and L
could not sleep at night. l can
recommend this remedy" A cold
nearly always starts in the head
and afterward extends to the
throat and lungs. By using this
remedy freely as soon as the cold
has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from
extending to the lungs. tt
