REV. HOWELL A SUICIDE.

whom ne Had Become Infatuated
and - Tragedy Results.

Olathe, Kan, Nov. S.-Rev. K Il.
Howell, about 40 years old, commit
ted suicide at the Avenue hotel. this
city, by taking carbolic acid. He
came here from Neosho, Mo-, yester-
day morning, and called at Mrs
Whites clearinghouse, where Mrs.
Cora Henderson, of Columbus, Mo-, a
beautiful and intelligent woman,
about IS years old. had been boarding
for a week, her husband joining her

quiry for Mrs. Henderson, saying he
was her husband and insisted upon be-
six o'clock and before she had

SALONS OF ITALIAN WOMEN.
Through Them Their Mtstresses Ex-
ercise Both Political and
Social influence.

Though in Italy the so-called ''eman-
cipation" of women is by no means so
far advanced as in England or the
United States, there are few countries
in Europe where the political influence
Of women Is greater than IL. Italy The
influence, though great, is not, how
ever, always apparent, for it is chiefly
exercised indirectly and privately by
the women of the upper classes. In
stead of forming themselves into as
sociations and leagues and information
al unions, and organizing public meet
ings and competing with political ora
tors, the Italian women interested in
politics work quietly, and certainly not
less efflcaciously than their more
"emancipated" sisters. AS rule Ital-
ian women work by means of the old
French expedient, the salon. In Rome
alone there are no fewer than a dozen
salons devoted almost entirely to the
discussion of political topics. Each
salon has Its own special political
color" which is generally that OF the
husband or father, or friends of the
mistress of the house; but while the
thread and web Of the politics carried
on in a salon are spun and woven by
the men who frequent ii, the personal
influence of the mistress of tire house
acts on each one of her guests, modify
ing views and softening, or it may be
accentuating, the roughness of ambi-
ton. AS long as they remain in their
salon Italian political women are In
every way admirable. There is salon
in Rome which, though nonpolitical,
outshiues all others in celebrity and in
terest. The mistress of the house has
no political end to serve nor social posi-
ton to gain. Countess Caetani-
Lovatelli, indeed, seems to be actuated
by the sole desire to make her salon a
center for all who have conquered or
are conquering a place in science, in
art, in letters, or any branch of erudl-
ton. Herself woman of great culture
and learning, the only female member
ofthe Academy of the Lincei (the italian
equivalent of the French instituted,
she possesses sufficient authority to
meet on an equal footing the profes-
sors and writers who frequent her
salon. Officers, both naval and mill
tary diplomatists, and, since politics
do not form the principal attraction,
deputies and senators of all parties and
all "colors" find there neutral ground

No articles published in years
have attracted so much attention
rs those entitled Suppressed
News from Washington, now run
ming in The New Time, Chicago's
aggressive reform magazine. The.
third enstallment appears in the
November number and declares
that the reason President McKin-
ley docs not force Alger's resig-
nation is due to the fact that the
former appointed all of the offici-
ais responsible for the scandals
now being investigated. The adj
ministration papers are indignant
~ demanding that The New Time
be called to account for these arti-
clcs, but the magazine continues
to pour editorial shot and she'll
into the Washington intrench-
ments. 1t is the most interesting
and startling matter now being
published. The November New
Time is a most attractive number.
A beautifully illustrated article
on "Lifc in the Ruskin Colony" is
from the pen of Herbert N. Cas-
son. The magazine contains the
first chapter of a delightful satire,

until now unknown to fame. The
cartoons, editorials, general in
formation concerning the reform
movement and selected matter
make up a grand issue of this
famous magazine. If you are not
