THE NEW WOMAN.
Gains For Women at the Last Pressden-
tia1 Election.

Gains For Women at the Last Presiden-
tia1 Election.
Since the presidential election OF 1872
women have much to be thankful Tor IN
the way of political progress. Ii IS true
that, measured by results, the gains
seem small in proportion to the truly
herculean labors the brave workers Tor
women's political emancipation nave
performed. But none Of these efforts are
lost. They will all tell at once one OF
these days, and then results Will come
with a rush. This year the women OF
three states, Wyoming, Colorado and
Utah, voted for presidential electors.
One woman, Mrs. Sarah Malloy OF Wyo-
ming, was herself chosen q presidential
elector on the Republican ticket. Inc
Colorado house of representatives Will
this winter have as members three strong
and noble women. They were elected
on the Populist fusion ticket, and their
names are Mrs. Evangeline Hearth, Mrs.
Olive G. Butler and Mrs. M. A. L. Co
nine. These ladies all live IN Denver.
which has been described as the most
beautiful city in the world. Perhaps
that is because women have SO much to
do with it's municipal affairs. In the
new state of Utah Mrs. Martha @. Can
non was sent to the state senaS9. She is
a Democrat and doctor, practlcing her
profession. She was before polygamy
was abolished the fourth wife OF Angus
Cannon, but now lives with her son and
daughter in neat home Of her own.
The oldest part of her candidacy was
that her former husband, Angus Can
non, ran against her on the Republican
ticket for the same Office Of state senator
and she beat him by a majority OF
1000. She is woman of fine, strong
character and an original mind, which
she uses to do hers iown thinking She
emphatically goes in for women taking
a share in running this world. 70 sum
up, in the three states in which women
have full suffrage were there chosen at
the November election one woman SEN
ator in Utah, three women representa-
tives in Colorado and one woman presi-

This Mrs Woodbury. is the one who, it
will be recalled, recently had arrested,
on charge of criminal libel, the mana.

Miss Nash was one of Mrs Woodbury. 8

disposition peculiarly well adapted for
accepting science which was propounder
by her teacher. Of all things she was
loyal, and of sensitive temperament she

faith was, can undoubtedly be best un-

that there was no such thing as disease

natural consequence, her followers We're

THE AMATEUR GAME.

For the second time this season as pre-
lude to the professional game, occurred
an amateur contest between the BIZ

rather loosely played game, but was
interesting for all that. The South Port
lands won their second game by score
of to 1, but the Bilious put up plucky
battle for glory. Whitney did the great

Boston Christian Scientist Figures
in Augusta Case.
YOUNG WOMAN SENT HOME FROM
BOSTON 20 DIE.

Appearad to be Under Hypnotic Influence
Her From Unfortunate Associations
Had Failed.
The Augusta Journal prints the fol-
lowing relating to the death OF the
daughter of Charles E. Nash OF this city
Shortly previous to tine death of Miss
Mary L. Nash, which occurred last Mon
day, from tuberculosis, that most esti-
mable young woman was brought to her
home. in a condition which was pro-
nounced by rwo physicians who attend
ed her, to be that of one who had been
suffering from hypnotic influence. Miss
Nash has always been beloved by her
friends, and among these especially her
death has been the cause of feeling OF
INDIGNATION at the attendant circum-
stances.
She had been for years pupil of the
well known professed professor OF
"Christian Science Mrs. Josephine q.
Woodbury. of Boston. She left Augusta
last June. Just previous to her depar-
ture she said, one day, to her father
"Papa, I feel Mrs. Woodbury. il draw
ing me to Boston. I can feel her influ-
ence strong upon me-" When Miss Nash
went to Boston, she told her parents that
she would Immediately return-that is,
in few days. They did not at that
time attach any great significance to her
departure. They knew that their daugh-
ter was pupil of Mrs. Woodbury's, in
her alleged profession Of Christian
Science. They knew that she had gone
to Boston a considerable number OF
times befDre for the evident purpose of
seeing Mrs. Woodbury., and they trusted
that their daughter would, as she had
done on previous occasions, return to
Augusta in few days. 1t was about
the first of December that Miss Nash
was brought home, broken down in
health, and the apparent victim of hypno-
tism.

Women who keep up with the fash
ions waste sinful lot Of their waking
hours over their clothes, and, after all,
do not look nearly so handsome as the
ones who follow an artistic simplicity
in dress. With a good many women
clothes are not made for the use of the
body. In their idea, the Creator made
the human body only for the purpose Of
showing off clothes.

About two weeks before her return her
parents received word that if they wished
to see their daughter alive they must go
at once to the house of a Mrs. E. A.
Winchester, Clarendon street, Maiden,
Mass. There the young lady was found
in bed very i'll. But she did not wish
TO return home, Notwithstanding the
HEADINGS of her father. She appeared
wholly under the influence of the woman
attending her. Mrs. Winchester, Wood

quest of the parent; even denied him an
UNINTERRUPTED interview with his daugh-
ter. While Mr.. Nash was present, abe
fixed her attention On the sick girl, who
did not seem to dare to DO other than re-
fuse, and she kept refusing without Civ
ing any reasons, to return to her home,
which had always been made happy one
for her in every way. With what persis-
tence she was finally released from those
who has taken charge of her, and under
whose will she was apparently bound,
will be seen.
Sir. Nash tried every means to release
her. He even offered $500 for her free
dom. Word was brought to him by an
agent of Mrs. Woodbury's, one of the fol-
lowers of her Science" that only on
condition that Mr.. Nash and the mem
bers of his family would enroll them
selves as her students, would the young
lady be given over to them. To be a
student would cost each one S10c. This
compromise was Of nature that Mr..
Nash felt obliged TO refuse. He had no
sympathy for the science, and it was only
after long and complicated attempt
that his daughter was finally given into
his cnre-and then to die within few

When they next visited the house they
were refused admission on the grounds
that a physician had stated that Mary
had been worse after their visit. This
they were unable to believe when after
they finally saw Mary again. she said
that physician had only seen her once,
and that was before her mother md
brother had arrived.
When the girl was finally released to
the parents the latter do not know,
unless it was the fear that they had gone
too far: and that she was likely to die
on their hands.
When she Ind at last reached home,
she was given every attention that her
loving parents could pay her and proper
medical attendance. She at times showed
slight signs of improvement, only to re-
turn to her former condition. She COM

and appeared TO have forgotten much of
it.
Whatever may have been the direct
cause Of her death, there is 10 question
in the minds of the memhers of the fami-
ly that she had been hypnotized both
from her conduct when in the hands of
the pupils of Mrs. Woodbury. and the
statements of the attending physicians.

It was quite right to abolish the law
requiring that women should be en-
ployed only eight hours day in fac

Personal beauty is something far
more within woman's own control
than she supposes. In answer to ques-
ton of how human being could reach
a certain desirable state, Swami Sara
dananda replied at Greenacre, "Think
that way" Just SO. The woman who
would be beautiful must begin and
think that way. Indulgence in unpleas-
ant emotions and breeding over disap-
pointments are ruinous to good looks,
especially as there is no disappointment
worth brooding over one hour and no loss
that is irreparable. First live as pure
and true a life as you know how to.
Cultivate kindly thoughts of all people.
They are as good as you are. Keep your
self always in cheerful, happy, hope
full frame Of mind. Any girl can train
herself to do this after awhile. This
sunny. hopeful, aspiring mind is one of
the secrets of perpetual youth. Then

Elks' Sorrow Lodge.

Chopin ball was well filled Sunday af-
ternOOn on the occasion of the Sorrow
lodge, or memorial services held by
the Ell Paso lodge of Elks in honor of
brethren who have crossed the great
vide. The auditorium was attrac-
lively decorated with flowers and pot
ted plants, and the stage fittings were
neat and croate. The features of the
occasion were the speaking and sing
ing, the lstter being particularly at
tractive. The program was carried out
as printed in the daily press, and the
singers gave the audience much plea
sure.
Judge Clark, one of the speakers, in
part spoke of the objects of the order,
and commended its work and purposes;
he then spoke of the uncertainty of
life and the certainty of death and
among other things said: That it was
not given to man to know the her eater.
but there was comfort in the thought
that the living principle of living
universe must be infinite, while the
grsndest conception of man was but
comparative and finite. applicable only
to finite things and beings that the
Deity was not an object of kno wledge,
bnt of faith, not to be conceived of but
felt, and that the divine nature was q
theme upon which man was little en-
titled to dogmatize, fer every man s
conception of God must vary with his
mental power and Intellectual cultiva-
tion, aud no one should cootent him
self with any lover image than his in
t s is capable la.e Of gsssspiog' if h, he
that which is false to him, as
we'll as false in fact: for all must admit
that nothing can be imagined more ex-
cellent than He. The speaker then
spoke of the Immortality of the human
soul, and how all nature proclaimed q
God, and that by the law of universal
progression we had a right to assume
that man was not excepted from that
law and that there was for him q fu-
ture and more perfect state; tt at in
of Immortality SO eIoquentiy uttered
by the dsath devoted Greek, finds deep
response in every chastened intellect,
for when about to yield his existence 20
the sacrifice of fate, his beloved Gle
mantle asks if they shall meet again,
to which he replies: 81 have asked
that awful question of the hills that
seem eternal-of the streams that flow
forever; of the stsrs, among whose
fields OF azure my raised spirit hath
walked in glory; all were dumb. But
when I gaz, upon thy face, fell that
there is something in the love that
mantles through it's beauty that cannot
wholly perish. We shall meet again,
Clemanthe."

Wood and Dr.. Higgins appropriate to

jects and aims of the order which were
we'll received. Harry Wood spoke
particularly on the history of the Or

ed source of qualification to all the
members of the Ell Paso lodge and

The School Board Meeting.

The school board tried to meet last
night. but it was failure. Only three
mem be of the board were there by
500 p. No., viz, Messrs. Blacker, Pew
and Harper. Professor Putnam was
on deck, so were four reporters. The
latter were very uneasy, they wanted
to attend the concert; so did Mr.. Pew,
and Judge Blacker himself was by no
means averse to the attractions of the
musical muse. Il tell you Judge, (" said
Mr.. Pew to Judge Blacker, "if you will
go with me L will pay your way in, and
we will sit together in the.gallery. 1.-THE

Professor Putnam was anxious for
some &C ion to reassure the school
teachers who were feeling just trihe
shskey over the situation ard would
have liked to wait longer for other
trustees who might show up. but the
reporters and Mr.. Pew were too many
for any further waiting, and the meet
ing adjourned until 800 'p. m. today

Thousand dollars In the bank, so there
