shakespeare's Heroines.

In Shakespeare's labored and perfect
plays there are no heroes. only
heroines, says the New York Tribune
There is scarcely a play. says Ruskin,

but perhaps loveliest, Vergilis, are all
faultless. conceived in the highest heroic
type of humanity. Moreover, the catas-
trophe of every play is caused always by
ton, If there be any. is by the wisdom
or virtue of a woman. and falling that.
there is none. Further. among all the
principal figures in Shakespeare's plays
there is only one weak woman. Ophelia
and it is because she fails Hamlet, and
is not and cannot be guide to him, that
the bitter trouble follows. Finally. though
there are three wicked women among
Shakespeare's principal tigures-Lady
Macbeth, Regain and Goneril-they are
felt at once to be frightful exceptions to
the ordinary laws of life. Speakin~
broadly. Shakespeare represents women
as infallibiy faithful and wise counsel
lors-incorruptibly to sanctify pure exam
pies, strong always to sanctify even
where they cannot save.

Conuuering Beauty.

The Empress of Austria has just COM
pleted her twenty-sixth year. and for
three wears and a half she has worn the
very heavy crown of Russia with won
derful grace and dignity. This. too, in
spite of the fact that she has long and
earnestly resisted the imperial honors
that were fairly thrust upon her.
At the time of her marriage she was
not in the least in love with the young
car; her youth, passed in the almost
humble home of her father the Duke of
Hesse. inclined her to look with the
greatest distaste on the tedious cere-
monial and icy foI'nality of the Russian
court, while it went sorely against thee
grain for her to change her Christian
name and her religion, as the Russian
laws exact.
AS Princess Alix she had passed
simple, happy girlhood. and it was her
wish to have married for love, as her
plain. kindly sister Irene, now Prin-
cess Henry of Prussia, had done. Her
desire for a Russian marriage was GER
tainly not Increased by the sight of the
tragical misery of her beautiful sister
Ella. whose husband is the Grand Duke
of Serge, uncle of the present Car.
AS Princess Ella had been quite pow
erless to resist her fate. so Princess
AIN also yielded TO the demands OF ner
family but, unlike her sister, she found
a gentler, if a duller, consort. By in
finite tact she has done much to sweeten
and refine the life of the court at St.
Petersburg Her influence is somewhat
that of her grandmother's. the Queen
of England, and she has preserved for
herself the right to follow her own re-
ligion privately.
In all her reforms against court gos-
sip. smoking among her ladies, the ad-
mission of notorious men and women in
the royal circle, and against antiquated
foolish forms and ceremonies, the Car
ina is quietly upheld by the solemn.
rather stupid young Car, who is said
TO have the profoundest respect for his
wife's beauty and her splendid virtues
He is in fact very much inclined to
follow her advice defer to her opinion,
and he adores her two rosy blonde
daughters. Nearly every year, by her
will alone, he brings her to join her
grandmother's household for awhile in
that they also visit every summer her
brother and sister in their modest
homes in Germany. and If all goes well
it would seem that the day would
come when this fair young woman,
whose face is sad and severe as that
of nun. will hold great power in the
Russian empire, to which she came so
as those of Iphigena.

together different from anything l had

seemed to transform the atmosphere into

was as OF a million magnetic needles

ed with proofs Of its accuracy in dozen
different forms.
The furnaces which generate this tre-
mendous heat are tWenty-four in num-
Der. and occupy section of the vessel los
feet in length. This section Is divided
into four separate fire rooms, each of
which contains six furnaces, lying hor1-
zontaiy. three on the starboard and
three on the port SIDE OF the NesStl. over
each trio of furnaces is fixed powerful
rotary fan. capable of developing a We
locity of 200 revolutions a minute. 1t Is
these fans which contribute the forced
draught to the fires. each trio of which
are arranged beneath one Of the huge
cylindrical boilers, eight in number, from
which the twin propelers derive the pow
er that drives the ship through the water
at her speed of twendy-three knots an
hour
In order to produce the greatest posi-
he effect from the forced draught fans,
all matches leading 10 the fire rooms are
FASTENED down. The consequence of this
is that every breath of air which per-
vades the interior of the fire room first
comes into contact with THE furnace fires,
from the midst of which IL is whirled in
volumes scarcely less soaring than the
fierce flames themselves. AT every three
furnaces are stationed a fireman and
coal-passer. The latter brings the coal IN
big iron buckets from the bunkers ar
ranged along the sides of the vessel, and
empties ii in a heap In the center OF the
fire room, while the former shovels il at
intervals of every ten minutes or so

MISFORTUNE VOICED SUICIDE.
Attempt of Mr.. c. Y. Richardson to
End His Life.

Rendered respondent by financial re-
verses, Mr.. C. Y. Richardson attempted
suicide night before last IN odd Fellows
Hall by taking laudanum. He had been
acting peculiarly throughout the after
noon. For several hours he wandered
about the hall, evidently In a distressed
state of mind.
When the negro janitor closed up the
lodge room after preparing 1t for the
meeting of Oglethorpe Lodge, Mr.. Rich
ardson evidently saw wnere the key was
placed. He left the building, but 1t is sur
missed soon returned, took the key and let
himself Ia the small paraphernalia room.
Then he drank a considerable quantity
of laudanum and was soon semi-consciOus
on the floor with the vial by his side.
Some time afterward a member of Ogle-
thorpe Lodge started to enter the room.
He saw Mr.. Richardson on the floor and
called MIR. James Van Berschot who rec
ognized the unfortunate man. As soon as
his condition was realized DR.. William b.
Orear was summoned, and with the aid of
two or three others sue
ceeded In staying the effects
of the drug A carriage was sent for and

charge Of his regular physician. d.
Nichols. His condition was critical but
by incessant work his life was saved Yes
terday he was removed TO his home
The news of Mr. Richardson's unfortu-
nate condition was received with genuine
regret by his friends. II was known that
for some time he has been greatly worried
over his personal finances, having met
with what were TO him serious losses. His
Hl-fortune proved upon him to such an ex-
tent as, it IS believed, to temporarily I'M
balance his mind leading to the attempt
al self-destruction.
MIR Richardson had been active in secret
society work for a number of years, and
had been known to the public generally
as man of fine character. In the mis-
fortunes that have come upon him he has
the sympathy of all.

ICE MEN EVEN Up ON PRICES.
Kinckerbocker's Advance to GorEIe
Co.'s Rates.

The advance in prices by the Knicker-
booker Ice Company yesterday was not
altogether unexpected, since it was believ-
ed the Knickbocker would follow the Cor
RE Company by also increasing rates.
This joint action practically ends the
Ice war between these companies, which
has been waged for some time. 1t is pos
sible now the prices will remain as fixed,
which are claimed to be as close as those
anywhere in the South. The demand in
Savannah Is sufficiently large to consume
most If not the entire output Of both COM
panies.
Had not the Knickbocker raised to the
prices asked by the Gorrie the fight would
have been continued In all probality.
There Is no telling TO what extent prices
would have dropped, had the Knickbocker
not fallen in line tt Is said the Gorrie
would have reduced to ruinously low
prices, had the Knickerbocker held to the
competition, Notwithstanding the former
company was first to exhibit the white
flag
The Knickerbocler can consistently
raise prices now" said Manager T. z.
Youmans yesterday. This war was COM
menced on u.s. and after meeting the cut
by our competitors, we have adhered 20
reduced prices and would have continued
TO Go so. Since we have remained in the
fight until our competitors put back old
prices, it seems to me We can consistently
advance prices without in any way being
forced to make concessions"
Both companies now have about the
same schedule of prices. BY circular the
Knickbocker announces 100 pounds for 25c,
with or without tickets; 80 pounds zoe;
p pounds, 15c; 10 pounds &C., and pounds,

vessel will leave the Ocean Steamship
Company's wharves for Fernandina.
There will probably he many along the

Yesterday morning the City of Macon,

where she will take on about 700 tons of
coal, having already about 200 tons aboard.
From Norfolk the Macon will proceed to
Fernandina, arriving there about the end
of the week.
The fact that the CITY of Macon was or

to some the impression that she will also
be loaded with arms and ammunition at
Fortress Monroe, but nothing definite Is
known in regard to any such move
