avenue south. Mrs. Eggleston and
lady friend were walking on Fourth
street south near Second avenue, when
Brown stepped up to them and asked
to go walking with them. Upon their
refusal to have, anything to do with
him, he seized Mrs. Eggleston by the

and dress were considerably torn. The
woman scream tor help and John
Collins, of $40 Seventh avenue north
and Edward Jackson, colored, of 244

be passing by in the vicinity, came to
her assistance. Brown, it is alleged,
seized an AK and defied the men to
touch him. Mrs. Eggleston by this
time had gone into a house at PA
Fourth street south for help, and
Brown started to run down Fourth

and Jackson who had a Ratchet and
an ak for weapons. Others joined in
the chase and in the excitement the

orderly conduct at the central station
Mrs. EgglestOn is a widow and claims
that Brown has been trying to force
his attentions upon her for some time

mer and as he so constantly logged
her, she was compelled to leave the
city for a time. She will swear out a
warrant against Brown this morning

CROP DAMAGE TALK

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-The Times Herald in

lie has become a believer in crop damage
For two years there have been winter
wheat failures with the yields a good deal
under that Of 1894, and less each season than
the results in 1892 and 1891 by over 100 COO 900
bushels. This experience has made the crop
condition a respectable market factor The
yields of only 264, 900 900 bushels winter wheat
in 1895 and 257, 600 900 bushels in 1895, the
sudden drying up Of the winter supplies in
those years and the premiums commanded
for such winter wheat came along, took

st. Louis has started to bull wheat on crop
losses, the only feature to the speculative
situation at present. The Southwest has all
its luck this one score, its aptness in de-
Gliding as to the real winter wheat position.
There developed some milling demand for
wheat in this market last week, sales reach
ing probably 500 900 bushels. The expert de-
mand kept exceedingly small, however. That
there has been export business doing of
late has become apparent by the astonishing

HIS VIEWS OF REFORM.
Prof. ZeubIin Gives an Interesting
Talk on Social Conditions,

Prof. Zeublin yesterday afternoon
at Plymouth church addressed a.
crowded house upon Necessity for Re-
form in Social Conditions His lecture
touched upon many familiar problems
and was exceedingly thoughtful. He
began by discussing the question Of
woman labor, and cOntraSted the con-
d1tion of women in factories and other
similar kinds of employment with
women employed to do domestic work.
There were, he said, points in favor Of
each sort of employment. The hours
OF a factory hand were usually less
than in the kitchen, and there is more
independence. The prospects for adj
Vdncement also are better, and the pay
is better These reasons often weigh
against the social advantages Of a good
home and make it seem desirable to
risk the moral dangers of the shop or
factory. Here was a great evil in our
way of living. A young woman should
prefer to do homework to any kind Of
factory work. The work of a domestic
in our homes should be made so pleas
ant that she would like the work better
than any other. The servant should
not be made to feel her social inferior
ity, but should be encouraged to look
continually for the best things Of which
she is capable.
The subject of living in cities was
discussed. and it was shown that a
large percentage of the population
lives in rented houses. This the speak
er thought was not conducive to indie
pendence. Living in flats had some
advantages, but upon the whole it was
not conducive to the highest social de-
VelOpment of people. There should
be greater effort on the part of men
earning a salary to own their homes.
even by paying for them in place of
paying rent.
The question of classes was also
handled, There are, the professor said.
classes in this country, as in every 9TH
er country. There are the rich and
the educated forming the top classes.
The rich oppose the poor. There are
the employer and the employed. There
are classes based upon racial differ
ences. All this is opposed to the high
est social development Clubs and Sc
cret societies were condemned as not
being favorable to social advancement,
from the fact that the sexes were
thereby separated. Any organization,
no matter how charita bic its object,
which separates the sexes, While 1t
may do good along some lines must
be a detriment to social conditions. The
new organiZa ton known as the College
Settlement, in which women of higher
classes of society go to hive among the
lower classes. has in it the greatest
promise for the ameliOration of the
condition of the people of the slums.
The question of marriage was taken
up. and a conclusion was reached that
late marriages are apt to turn out hot
ter than earlier marriages. n1th the
contracting parties will have given
more thought to the selection Of a mate,
and will have better Judgment of the
qualities wanted in a husband or wife
The influence of the Roman Catholic
church was noticeable in the fact OF
fewer divorces in foreign families, and
members of that church.

WAS BORN THE WOMAN WHO
OPENED Quotations GATES
FOR HER SEX.
FOUNDER OF MOUNT H0LYOKE.
REV. MERRILL DEVOTEs A SER
MON To A REVIEW OF HER
LIES WORK.
WHAT SHE HAS DONE FOR WOMEN
1t Was Accomplished at Great Per-
sOnal Sacrifice-Sabbath in the
Mill City.

Rev. George r. Merrill, of the First
Congregational church, devoted his
morning sermon yesterday to giving
the life and work Of Mary Lyon, the
great apostle of higher education for
women, and the founder of Mount
Holyoke Female college. The sermon
was addressed to college young women,
and was especially timely from the
fact that the day was the Tooth ami
Versary of the birth of Miss Lyon. The
preacher began by tracing the develop
ment of the idea of education for
women, showing that according to
early ideas even in New England, while
a college education was necessary to
make the most out of the boys Of the
household, girls should be taught only
the simplest rudiments of learning,
their place being in the kitchen. They
were first given grammar school edu-
cation. and as the need for teachers
drafted young women into service. the
demand for better schools for women
began to be felt.
In 1I61 the first academy for co-edu-
cation was opened, and in 1888 Ober-
I'm college, was founded, the first col
leSe to admit girls to its classes Mary
growth of the idea of the need for
higher educa ton for women. She her
sell was possessed by an uncomfortable
thirst alter knowledge, and she obtain
ed an education by the greatest per-
sonal sacrifice. She determined to de-
vote her life to the cause of women,
and refused a f1attering offer of mar
riage in order to do this In 1887 she
opened school for girls at South Had
ley, near Mount Holyoke, which de-
Veloped into Mount Holyoke seminary.
and later into Mount Holyoke college.
While she was in charge Of the school.
5000 women studied there many of
whom have done much for the cause
she loved. Many have taken up the
profession of teaching, and many have
gene as foreign missionaries. The
modern colleges for women such as
Smith, VaSsar, Wellesley, were founded
by women imbued with the spirit of
Mount Holyoke college, Within a few
months the old first building at Mount
Ho1yoke has burned, and it is to be
replaced with mordern buildings. In
conclusion the preacher drew a moral
lesson from the life of Miss Lyon, and
impressed the young ladies Of his
audience with the necessity Of getting
the best possible education.

PRESS CLUB PROSPERS.
Annual Meeting Is Attended With

The annual meeting Of the Mime
apolis Press club was held yesterday
afternoon in the clubs parlors with a
large attendance. The annual reports
of the secretary, treasurer and board
of directors were presented, showing
the club to be in very prosperous
condition. At the present time there

The improvement in general business is we'll
sustained in all the markets, and the tone is
now showing an increase of earnings, and

depressing effect upon stocks; but the an

TO my view, the general position of the
stock market Is sound and promising and
seems to afford a safe basis for buying for
compromising profits. The opportunity for
buying Is the more promising from the fact
that next week the country takes a new
start under new party leadership and under
pohcIes which have been associated with
eras of the largest progress enjoyed in the
history of the country.

VEEDERsBURG, Ind, Feb. A.-During the
recent campaign Joseph Taylor, farmer, at

up a sandwich. He did not pay for it and
the proprietors laughingly threatened to have
him arrested. A few weeks after the event
a man giving the name of Henry Lanmping
called upon Taylor and told him that Mallott
& McAllister had determined to arrest him if
he did not pay them $50. He had but $50,
which he paid Lamping, and gave his note
for the remainder. The note now proves to
have been given for $500, and the worry over
the affair has so preyed upon Taylor that his
mind is a complete wreck Mallott & Tay-
lor deny that they authorized anyone to de-
mand money from Taylor.
