MISS COUSINS CONDEMNED
Suffragists Attribute Her Reeanta-
ton to Possible Insanity.
Prominent Ladies Regret Her Ac-
tiOn, But Say the Cause VIII
Not Be Injured.

The recantation of Phoebe Cousins. W. no,
for a quarter OF a century has been a
bright, particular flower in the field OF
woman suffrage, has created indignation
gists. Some are lenient enough to pardon
Miss Cousins changcof heart, on the ground
OF insanity, while Others say that 1t is
but another outpouring of that malice,
spite, and spleen, which, they say, Miss
Cousins has often heretofore displayed.
In the dispatch from ST. Louis waich was
priutedin The Evening Times of yesterday,
Miss Cousins is represented as charging dis
honesty upon various ladies connected with
the board of lady managers or the World S
Fair and the Colorado campaign of 1894
Several or the local suffragistS were bold
enough to say last night that these charges
came with bad grace from Miss COUSINS
whose reckless, not to say indlscreet, use
of funds has frequently been commented on
in the councils of the party.
Mrs. Sara n. Spencer, who for ten years
held the office OF secretary OF the National
Suffrage Association, declared last night
that Miss Cousins / S not a close observer
merely show-piece OH the platform
when she says" continued Mrs. Spen-
GER, that woman in public life is d fail
ure, she may speak from personal eX-
perienoe but not from observation of
others. Phoebe's excessive vanity. love of
domination, and determination to be a
central figure have caused her to be re-
peatedIy suppressed by other women. She
has been intolerable; she has never evinced
disposition to do any work, but has al
ways insisted on carrying off the honors.
Every intelligent woman suffragist has
regretted the action of Phoebe Cousins at
the worIds Fair and has upheld the stand
taken by Mrs. Potter Palmer"
When the gray eyes OF Mrs Spencer fell
on Phoebes declaration that Susan b.
Anthony is a failure, except for her own
personal ends, Ms, Spencer exclaimed,
"Oh, shame!'
Then she said: q declare do not know
any national officer who has ever worked
for her personal advantage, excepting this
Phoebe Cousins. Phoebe Cousins has been
cared for IN sickness, borne with and sus
tained and soothed by the Woman Suf
frage Association all these years
Mrs. Mary Lockwood, who lives at the
Strathmore Arms, is a pioneer in the cause
of womans suffrage. She said last night
that she became interested in the subject
Of woman's suffrage through an address
which this same Phoebe Cousins made at
old Lincoln Hall, eighteen years ago. She
was beautiful and brilliant. Butfor years
she had been doing queer things, and
long time ago Miss Susan Anthony re-
marked privately that the same disease
which was wauing the body of Miss
Cousins had also warped her mind.
Miss Elizabeth Ward, No. Grant place,
a conspicuous suffragist, could only ex-
plain Miss Cousins remarkable change Of
front on the score of mental Illness.

BOYS FALL In The RIVER
Willie Monger and Richard Marks
Came Near Drowning.
They Played Truant to Go Fish
ing, But VIII Not Do 1t
Any More.

Willie Monger, of 944 New York ave-
nue., and Richard Marks, of 9O7 Eleventh
street northwest, two bright boys, aged
six and eight years, played truant from
school yesterday afternoon, but have
vowed never TO do so again, for they
narrowly escaped drowning.
Willie and Richard are both good boys,
but the temptation TO have a little fish
Ing trip was for once too much for them,
The boys Sought quite u deep pool, some
distance from the bank, which the
reached by going outupon sunken barge
There the water is twelve or fifteen feet
deep.
BY and by Willie got bite, or at least
he fancied he did, and in his excitement
to land the nibbler he missed his footing
and fell into the water. There was big
splash and cry for help, and then Willie
went down OUT ofEsight. This did not
frghten Richard, fof he quickly pulled off
his coat. and, without waiting TO consider
the consequences, as neither OF the lads
could swim, lie bravely plunged in and
made an effort to save his Companion.
1t was an heroic attempt, but it nearly
cost him his life.
When Willie came to the surface again
Richard seized him, but both went down
again together. There was considerable
kicking and splashing about in the water,
and the attention of some men and boys
playing ball in the vicinity was called TO
the struggling fishermen.
Mr.. Charles Hauf, seeing their peril,
rushed to their assis tance, reaching them
just as two colored men, whose names
could not be learned, hauled them out upon
the barge, shivering with cold.
Both were glad TO be taken home, and
the mothers nearly swooned when ad-
yised of the accident.
Last night Willie and Richard were none
the worse for their impromptU bath, but
were firm in their decision not TO run
away from school again to go fishing.

Crossed the Seven Stars.

Owing to the cloudiness Of the weather
and the fact that the moon was only
two days old' there was not much op-
portunity for observing her occulta ton of
the Seven Stars in particular and other
stars in general. The fact was that the
moon was occulted most of the evening
herself. OccultatioD OF stars by the moon
is a very frequent phenomenon, but that
OF this particular part of the constella-
ton Taurus, the Pleiades, is known as
the eighteen or nineteen year period. 1t
is used as means Of the better determina-
ton of the diameter OF the moon, although
that line has already been very definitely
fixed. Prof. II. M. Paul, of the Naval
Observatory, observed the occultation OF
the Pleiades IN 1877-79. In general use
occultation phenomenon is made use of to
determine longitudes.

Brown, of the Federal court for wTitof

From 1865, the date OF his appointment
as u special agent of the Treasury, by
President Lincoln, ne has been wen known
in Washington, and especially among the
Masonic fraternites, but OF late years his
infirnities have confined him at home. He
was in his eighty-fourth year.
Capt CahelI had his own views of the
life to come and therefore peculiar
theory of death he regarded death as
the process or a birth in the other world,
aud that it was rather to be desired, after
life well spent, than to he mourned.
When he died one of those who did not know
of his peculiar views placed crepe on his
door, but when this was discovered by Mrs.
Caheil, she, recalling the often expressed
wish of Capt Cabell. had the mourning in
sigma removed and substituted therefor
a sheaf of wheat tied with purple satin
ribbon

turous runs on the river he was pressed
