THE NEW WOMAN
BY MAY EL1ORE BENSON

So much has been said of the new
woman many of the papers COM
menting pro and con upon the sudden
and strange growth from the old graft
ing, even the great dailies rife with
caricatureS more or less coarse ana
vulgar, that we have felt impelled to
investigate this new phase, or new or
der of being, and see wherein the mod
ern Eve differs from the parent stock
of womankind and discover what has
caused the chrysalis after thousands
of years to burst its shell and wing its
way at least around this quarter of the
globe, as a new woman; no longer
With horns and hoofS," as the creation
of some forty years ago was supposed
TO have been ornamented with, but in
stead "fiopping wings. wide open bill
and eagle eye"
To travel back through the labyrinths
of time some six thousand years or
more is no easy task for here we get

bles of prejudice, then lost in the jun
giles of doubt and mental darkness, anon
some Apollyon bound up in our path
just as we strike out in the open high
way, but nothing daunted, we continue
our tour of retrospection and land at
last safely though somewhat bruised
and scratched. into the very garden
where tradition says the mother of the

Eve. Eye. always bent on investiga
ton, conscious of her own powers, and
fearlessly seeking knowledge, finds
fresh retreats: new ideas dimly floating
in her awakening mind, she stumbles
one day upon the tree of knowledge.
Suddenly quickened into new life, she
looked down the dim vista of futurity
and beheld the possibilities Of her race;
not wishing to be all-wise, all-domnant

| So down through the ages the intui-

her feet; she crept back TO the narrow

will do their best to wipe out the stain
made by the unfortunate showing of
the Cornell crew in the Henley races OF
last year. The Cornells were cracked
up to be world beaters, but in the act
'uaf race their men tainted, caught crabs
and made a most pitiful Showin~. They
were laughed at and sneered : by the
English press and hooted by some of
the spectators on the river banks. The
whole display of Cornell on the other
side wrung the hearts of their admirers
,here with anguish. It made a blot on
the fair record Of American oarsman-
ship which the boys of Yale are deter
mined to wipe out if they possibly can.
Unlike Cornell, they take more seri-
GUS view of the difficulties before them,
land they know that to win they will
.have to down the best oarsmen in the
world. The Henley regatta in aquatics,
As what the Derby is in the horse world
and to win the Grand Challenge cup,
the great event of the regatta, marks
sthe victors as the premier crew of the
earth
Bob Cook, the veteran coach, has
charge of the Yale boys, and they are
now beginning the hard work which will
be kept until the day of the race. The
eight men who will have the honor of
wearing the dark blue of old Yale at
Henley have not been selected, but in
the case of five of them, and possibly six,
sall doubts have been removed. Twenty
two men are working night and day
for the honor and fourteen must be dis
appointed. The aspirants are:

claim that Notwithstanding the short
course fast stroke does not do on the
Thames, and Bob Cook has already been
adversely criticised for making the
change.' The long, regulation Yale
stroke, it is said, would prove more ef-
fective at Henley than the so-called new
Cook stroke, but this remains to be seen.
Yale's coach is an old hand at the game,
and his reasons for doing anything are
usually based on sound foundations.
Some of the rules which govern the
Grand Challenge race are unique. Here
are few extracts.
ANY crew of amateurs who are men,
bers of any university or public school,
or who are officers of her majesty's
army or navy, or any amateur CLUB
established at least one year previous
to the day of entry, shall be qualified
to contend for the grand challenge cup
"The entry of any amateur club, crew
or sculler in the United Kingdom must
be made on or before March II, and
gatta. The entry of any crew or soul
Ter out of the United Kingdom must
be made on or before aMrch 81, and
any such entry must be accompanied
by declaration, made before notary
public, with regard to the profession
that he has never taken part in any
open competition for a stake, money
or entrance fee; has never knowingly
competed with nor against a profession
al for any prize; has never taught, pur-
sued or assisted in the practice of ath
letic exercises of any kind for profit;

trade or employment, for wages, a me-

"The committee shall have power to

club or crew entered shall, seven clear
! days before the regatta, deliver to the
secretary OF the regatta a list contain

AS the Grand Challenge course Is
but a mile and a quarter, Bob Cook in
tends to make the stroke fast one
from start to finish, and all the practice
work has made this clear. The Cornell
boys pulled as fast as fortyeight to

believes that every Western State, not OK.

otherwise sensible men are swayed by that

fooled by the free trade craze, it Is singu-

by a still more deadly measure.
Mr. Francis represe nts the people to be
highly successful who are engaged in min

Cripple Creek will reach fifteen millions
OF dollars this year, being again of 10 ven
millions over last years production. The
increase is very gratifying, and We cannot

double the value of their gold mines.

forms, recently made and adopted at Chi
cago and later at St Louis. 1t was sug-
gested TO endorse Presidential candidate,
but the peculiar financial views as set
forth in the platforms did not meet with
the approval of tho well known business
sense of its members. 1t is to be inferred
that the suggestion was made to endorse
Mr.. Bryan, the Popoorat candidate. We
congratulate the Hebrews upon their hest

chants, bankers and business men The
business sense of these people has led
great majority Of them for many years,

ty. They have favored protection no less
than sound money.
The only exception to this wholesome
tendency has perhaps been in New York
city, where the importing interests have
been powerful in behalf of free trade and
have thus held many Hebrews within the
Democratic free. trade party But this ex-
ception was obiiterated two years ago when
the Hebrew voters OF New York city al
most solidly supported the Republican re'
form city ticket as well as the Protection
candidates for Congress III the present

that city are going to give their united
support again to the Republican ticket in
New York and are going to vote in a body

The Democratic principles Of Jefferson,
Madison and Jackson. which it is reported
President Gluckman read and explained
to the members Of the club Oh Sunday
evening, will not help them this year.
If Jefferson. Madison and Jackson were
living today they would no doubt take
their place alongside of Cleveland Hill
and Whitney and cast their votes for Nc
Kinley and Hobart, No man who under
stands this question and especially no
business man, can afford to vote for Bryan
We do not apprehenl that the Hebrew, Of
Wilmington who have hitherto been loyal
to Republican principles, will this year Of
1896 break away and cast their votes for
the Democratic Popultstic ticket. This is
not the year to change 10 that direction.

nouncement, coupled with President
Gluckman's quiet call upon Mr.. Ford,
naturally leads to the inference that he is
trying to convert this Independent Educa-
tional club into a Democratic club. OF
course, the members who have united
themselves together for purposes of polit-
teal instruction, do not wish to be msled
into the political marshes Of Populism.
That Is all it means, Mr.. Ford, if he shall
be nominated at all, must step forth up
on a free silver platform as well as upon
free trade platform.
Theproper thing for the Hebrew Inds.
pendent Political Educational Club to do
at its next meeting is to endorse the Re.

platform. They are also sound on the
questions of new constitution, reform in
