German Women in Universities.

From the Chicago Rec ord.
Very few German women attempt to at
tend lectures. Several have taken degrees
at Heidelberg. but they were the daughters
of members of the faculty, and persons of
exceptional character. The prejudice among
the German people in this respect is in
tense, although 1t is becoming considerably
modified. The effect of the women's con-
gress, which was held in Berlin last year.
is being felt throughout the whole empire.
1t modified public sentiment consider ably
by demonstrating that educated women
were not necessarily anarchists. lunatics or
guys. At this meeting appeared some of
the ablest, the handsomest and most ac-
complished women in the, world. They
dressed and acted like ladies', and the social
gatherings which were given in honor of
the congress were as brilliant as any that
have ever occurred in Berlin. The infiu-
ence of this fact has been marked and
there is much greater degree of tolera-
ton toward the activity Of women than
there was before.
Twenty years ago Frau DIR. Peters was
sent to jail for creating discomfort" among
the women of Germany. Today there is a
woman lawyer practicing in Berlin, Frau
Kempin, a graduate of the University of
Zurich, who stands well in the profession
and is much respected by the bar. There
are several organizations of women, with
a newspaper called the Framework CThe
Welfare of Women), that Is issued every
week and has large circulation.

all such experiments had been justified by
good results. The policy of having street
railroads. the telegraph, gas and electric
light works operated by municipalities he
regarded as fixed. There was no tendency
to call a halt i'm the further develop
ment of that policy. but rather feeling
that 1t should be further pursued. Such a
policy, he said, was apt to prevent private
companies from putting in plants of the
most durable character because there was
an uncertainty about their being dispos-
sessed by the government, and he thought
some injustice had been done in the &C

OUR DIVORCE LAWS.
Remedy for Conflicting DEGREES and
Statutes.

Holland" in Philadelphia Press.
We are at last 10 have test of the power
of the federal courts 10 interfere where
there is conflict of jurisdiction or a con-
fiict of laws, due to the different statutes
in different states by which divorce is regu-
lated. In this state, where the common
law marriage is acknowledged by the
courts, there is almost a conflict between
the statutory regulations and the common
law. so that it is sometimes impossible to
establish whether parties are living in
bigamy or not.
That, however, is a subject of which our
own courts can take jurisdiction, so that
there is a remedy at hand here But it
is believed that there are very many per-
sens who have obtained divorces i'm good
faith according to the laws of other states,
who do not know whether subsequent mar
riages are legal here or rot, what their
precise status before the law is.
A very important, and perhaps because
decisive case, is to be brought in the
United States court within a few DAYS
which will determine whether the federal
courts have jurisdiction in disputed cases
of this kind. A young business man who

SYNOD OF BALTIMORE,
Arrangements in Progress for October
Session I'm This City.

Session in This City.
The officers of the West Street Presby-
terrain Church. West Washington, of which
the Rev. William c. Alexander, D. D., is
pastor, met at the church one evening this
week and commenced preliminary arrange
Hents for entertaining the members of the
Presbyterian synod of Baltimore, which
is to meet in this city beginning the 10Th
of October, and hold its sessions in the
West Street Church.
The synod includes in its territories the
presbytery of New Castle Delaware and
the eastern shore of Maryland, the presby-
terry of Baltimore, and the presbytery of
Washington city. One hundred and sixty
three ministers are working within it's con-
fines and they minister to 24.661 communi-
cants, who worship in 14S churches. While
not as strong numerically as some of the
northern Synods. 1t compares favorably
financially with them and under its jurls-
diction are such fine church edi1ces as
the Brown Memorial Baltimore. and the
New York Avenue and Covenant Churches
in this city.
Pastor Alexander is arranging the pro-
gram, but the only thing definitely fixed in
. regard to il is that the opening sermon on
the evening of October Is, at o clock, is to
be preached by the Rev. J. r. Milligan of
Wilmington. The synod will continue in
session two days, and after the opening
session, when an organization will be eff
fected, 1T will listen to reports of COM
mittees, and discuss them and such new
business as may be brought ND.
The two most important topics which
will probably be discussed will be the ques-
tion of contributions for missions and the
status of New Windsor College. The synod
is liberal giver. but yet has fallen be-
hind in its collections, and for this reason
a plan is to be devised by which this may
be remedied. The acting president of New
Windsor College, Rev. Charles b. Rams
dell. d. D., pastor of the North Presby-
terrain Church of this city, will state that
arrangements have been made to place the
college under the control of the presbytery
of Baltimore. and will then ask to be re-
lieved of his duties as chairman of the
synod committee. He has placed the col
lege on firm financial basis and has
raised its standard but the present inten-
ton is not to have the synod assume con-
troll of il for some years.

The C. a. n. as a spur to Patriotism.

From the Illustrated American.
The simple presence of a detachment of
the Grand Army is quickener of the feel
ing. These days have sore need of the
stimulus. Chivalry seems all but dead
among us. The pursuit of business is this
days dominant impulse. Men even fear
the voice of chivalry lest IL may arrest
some current of commercial scheme. But
the uniform and grizzled beard of the
Grand Army veteran is a reminder of an
illumined period when men of similar tastes
and equal commercial ambitions fiuEg them
contemptuously aside for country and
glory. OF hardly less value than the com
mon school is the education in the senti-
ment Of patriotism and obedience to its
call which the Grand Army is teaching the
present generation.

Hayti's Reply to Germany.
Washington, November 30.-The
state department officials refuse to dis
cuss the complication between Germany
and Hayti, growing out of the arrest OF
Lueders, or to indicate what course ii
will pursue in the matter, though it is
evident that they do not regard it as
likely 10 have serious or permanent re-
suits. Confidence is expressed in the
intentions of the German government
not to act unjustly toward the little re-
public, and it is felt that with the gun
boat Marblehead at Port au Prince to
watch over our interests in the event of
trouble, all has been done in the way
of preparation that can be done.
Reports that came to the state depart
ment late in the afternoon from Hayti
were to the effect that considerable ex-
citement prevailed there, and that the
situation was grave. For this reason,
it was determined to hasten the depart
ure of the Marblehead and the naval
officials were communicated with to
this end. The impression appeared to
prevail in Port au Prince that a Ger
man war ship was rapidly approaching
the place. Of course, it is stated that
the Marblehead goes solely for the pur-
pose of protecting American interests
that might be thereatened by the out
break of disorders in Hayti.
The latest advices from German
sources, however, indicate that no occa-
sion will be given for friction between
the United States and Germany on ac-
count of the Haytian difficulty, and
that the matter will be adjusted.
1t developed today that Hayti had
sent reply to Germany's demands,
which is somewhat remarkable for its
firmness s, in view of the difference in
size between the two powers. The
Haytian note makes it clear that the
republic is ready to discuss the merits
of the controversy, but does not desire
to have Germany pass judgment in the
first place, demand an indemnity, and
thereafter discuss the merits. Mole-
over, Hayti gives notice to Germany
that the German charge d'affaires to
Hayti, who made the recent demands,
is persona non grata, and that it is i'm
possible for Hayti to conduct further
with him. 1t is stated
that he offended against all rules of
and official etiquette, by go
ing directly before the president of
Hayti, and in loud and angry tones,
and insulting manner, threatened dire
unless immediate repara-
ton was made to Germany. THIS pel
sonal affront to Hayti's chief 1taa(

the trying ordeal, but with lips firmly
compressed and jaws hard set, he faced
the judge, jury, and court room full
of spectators with well-feigned stoi-
cism.
Mrs. Nack's testimony during the
mistrial made it compulsory for
Thorn's lawyers to change their line of
defense in the second trial and they
Immediately adopted the only plausible
defense that could be conceived under
such trying circumstances. They
made direct charge against Mrs. Mack
and insisted that her alleged confession
was lie and that she herself was the
intigator and perpetrator of the mar
der, Thorn being ignorant of the killing
until after Guldensuppe had been shot
by Mrs. Mack. The woman was not
produced during the second trial, but
Thorn went on the stand and substan-
tiated all the assertions made by his
lawyers as to the m d-wife's guilt. His
story, if anything was more dramati-
cally told than that of Mrs. Mack, but
as the verdict shows, it did not have
the desired effect upon the jurymen.
When court opened this mdohing
Lawyer Howe began summing up in
behalf of Thorn. He made an earnest,
thoughtful and impressive appeal to
the jury for his client and it was :
thought by many who heard him that

A Vermonter Sells His Improvement
for Four rlillions.

The Washington Reporter, the official
organ of the United States patent Office,
records the fact that DR.. Virgil W. Blan-
chard of Middlebury and New York has
assigned all his right, title and interest
in his patents on gas mixers and hydro
carbon furnace, gas stoves and improve
ments, to the Odorless Gas Stove COM
pany of West Virginia, for a cousidera-
ton OF $1,000, 500 This will make Dr.
Blanchard one Of the richest men in
Vermont and it is not unlikely that he
will lay out considerable of his money in
and around Middlebury. The main
feature of DR.. Blanchard's inventions in
this line is a coal burner which makes
a saving of 80 per cent in the quantity of
coal consumed besides furnishing much
stronger heat. 1t is going on thirty
years since the doctor began work on his
burner and J. H. Sargent of Middlebury
made his original model for him in 1871,
afterwards making the first working
furnace. In all his studying over his
invention DR.. Blanchard was most
bothered to find something out of which
to make fire brick that would withstand
the intense heat generated by the furnace
and in this he has at last succeeded. He
found the right kind of clay in the noun
tains Of Pennsylvania, so that he was
finally able to perfect his invention, with
the result above given. DR.. Blanchard
has always been inventing something OF
another in the way OF machinery and
labor saving utensils, and it is probable
that he has taken out more patents than
any other man in the United States with
the single exception OF Thomas A. Edi'
son. His wife and daughter reside ir

for the March Ladies Home Journal
The article is said to be singularly inter
esting in the detail with which it
describes the wearisome routine of the
president. 1t is said that General Harri-
son, in this article, has delivered himself
with great drectness and vigor, relative
to the annoyances that are visited upon
a chief executive by persistent office
seekers, and he suggests unique plan,
bv which the presidents burdens in that
direction could be greatly lightened, and
he be enabled to devote more attention
to more important matters. feature OF
the article that will have timely inter-
est to those ambitious to serve the
country under the incoming admlnstra-
ton, describes very fully how The presi-
deut makes appointments to office. "A
Dav With the President at His Desk is
unique in being the first time that the

scribed by one who has filled the exalted
office. Articles upon the social and
domestic lille of the president by General
Harrison will follow in successive issues
