Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1897-02-25

In the making Of books, which seems
to have no end, good many authors
affect strange and out of the way titles
to their productions which often fail to
give any insight as to the nature Of the
story. But for curious titles the early
English reformers deserve the palm.
Some Of them were very remarkable,
especially those relating to devotional
and controversial subjects. One was
entitled the "Sweet Swallows of Saliva
tion," and another, which might have
been written by some pious baker, bore
this tile: 'Somew Fine Biscuits Baked
in the Oven of Charity, Carefully Con-
served for the Chickens of the Church"

1.-THE DUCHESS"
Mrs. Margaret Hungerford who Re-
Gently Died.

Mrs. Margaret Hungerford VINO Ne
Gently Died.
Few story writer's have had larger
number Of readers than THE Duchess,
Mrs. Henry Hungerford. Few deaths
will be more sincerely mourned than
hers. She died at her home near Dub
lin, Irland.
3 ssThe Duchess first became widely
known to the readers of light literature
through her novels "Molly Bawn" and
>"Phyllis,' pretty tales Of the joys ana
trials Of lovers told in light, cnatty
way, which found favor in two CONT
nents. For many years the novels OF
sThe Duchess have sold in many edl-
lions.
Mrs. Hungerford lived at st. Brendas,
Bandon, County Cork. She married
when very young and was early LETT a
widow with three small children to
care for. In 1883 she married Henry
Hungerford of Cahirmore. Her hrst
novel, Phyllis" was written to keep
the wolf from the door. 1t proved to be
popular and was followed by others OF
like kind, which brought a good income.
Besides her novels, she has written
many novels ON domestic topics.
Mrs. Hungerford was very proud OF
her Irish descent. She was the daughter
of Rev. Canon Hamilton, rector of one
Of the Oldest churches in Ireland and
st. Faughan's cathedral in Ross, Ger
berry, County Cork. Her grandfather

If Congress would but require con-
testants to pay the cost Of their cases
when they cannot prove them, as liti-
giants in courts are compelled to do, it
would have deterrent effect on frivo-
lous claims of election. If the State
offered to pay-at the public expense
the court charges of all suits instituted,
no matter what the Judgment might
be, or for whom, the country would
soon be swamped by litigation. Yet
there is no more reason why Congress
should provide that those who bring
suit before it should be compensate ted
for frivolous claims and contests.

One would suppose martyrs enough
had been made in the early Christian
era to furnish subjects for stained
glass windows in all the churches ip
Christendom for all time to come. One
would evidently be mistaken. 1t ap-
pears the supply Of early martyrs has
all been used up, or, at least, has
grown so old as to be no longer suita-
BILE for windows, for at HaWarden
church, in celebration Of the birthday
anniversary Of Mrs. Gladstone, a win
dow was unveiled to the Armenian
martyrs, the older sort being entirely
discarded. Deputations of ArmeniaQs
were present and they expressed no
contempt whatever for the proceeding.
The published accounts give no esti-
mate of the cost of the window. 1t
may have cost anywhere from $500 to
$1,000, or more. 1t is known from fig
ures furnished by missionaries who
are laboring night and day to relieve
distress in Armenia that SIP will keep
for a year one Of the thousands of lit
tie children made orphans and home
less by the soldiers of the blood-steep-
ed Abdul Hamid. These helpless little
ones, driven together by common
misery, roam the roads in herds, pull
ing up clumps Of grass and eating the
roots and raising their shriveled little
hands to every passerby with despair
ing cries for food. Their pitiful state
has appealed to every man with a
heart in his breast in that scourged
land. A system OF relief has been or
ganized with ramifications into every
Christian country. The missionaries
have done what they can, they have
made complete arrangements for fur
nishing food and shelter, but they lack
money to carry out their plans. They
have sent appeals to Christendom. De-
spite their efforts, hundreds of these
half-clothed innocents will perish from
the bitter cold before summer comes
again. If their condition has been
truthfully described they will starve to
death for the very lack Of grass to eat.
The stained-glass window commemo-
rating these martyrs will be a pecu-
liarly fitting memorial. Every SIP
worth of stained glass in it will liter
ally represent one martyr starved to
death, one little Christian child who
might have lived on the money in the
window in Hawarden church. Such
SNUG. smirking, slick-faced piety de-
serves encouragement. When these
Apaches of the East burn helpless
women in their homes sing HYMNS;
when families are bereft of protection
and support by licensed murder, pray;
when little half-naked children are
running homeless over frozen roads,
hunting for weeds to eat and dying
when they don't find them, put stained
glass windows in warm churches and
dedicate them to the Armenian mar
tyrs, because when these have been
killed off there will be plenty more.
