Special Distinction of American Women.
Mrs. Amelia Gere Mason writes a paper
On "Club and SALON. for The Century.
Mrs. Mason says:
1t will, I think, be conceded that the
special distinction of the American woman
does not lie in her intellect or her learn
ing. Brilliant gifts and attachments to a
certain point may indeed be exceptionally
frequent, but they have often been equal
! ed, if not exceeded, in the past. 1t lies
rather in her talent for utilizing knowledge
and adapting it to visible ends. To @
combination of many talents has been
added one to make them oil available. 1t
is essentially a talent for ''arriving'-l
other words, a talent for success, either
with or without intellectual ability OF a
high order, and consists largely in a keen
insight as to seryiceable values, with a
marked facility for catching salient points
and using them to tas best advantage.
The result is that no women ia the world
have so much versatility or make a little
knowledge go so far.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON THE IN
TERCOLONIAL.

st. John, NIB. February Sword was
received in the city this morning OF hor-
rible accident on the Intercolonial. by
which one man lost mis- life and another
is badly injured. The Quebec express
due here at 10. so plunged over an embank-
ment at Petit Roche. seven miles from
Bathurst, killing the engineer VIM. Bias
tan and badly injuring the fireman
whose name is Poole. The accident oc
CURED at about 2.15 this morning. The
cause of the accident is supposed to be "a
broken rail. The engine and all of the
cars left the rails but the passenger cars
did not go over tho embankment and the
passengers consequently escaped injury.
The engine turned completely over, bnry-
ing the engineer underneath the ruins.
Death must have been almost instantane-
Gus as the body was entirely covered by
the machinery and is doubtless crushed
beyond recognition. The fireman by
jumping managed to escape alive though
he received severe injuries. The train
was in charge OF Conductor Angus McLel-
Ian who, with other train hands, with the
exception OF the fireman and engineer are
uninjured or at least only slightly.

DE LoME's ESTIMATE OF PRESIDENT.
An Insulting Letter Alleged to be From
Spanish Minister.

New York, February s.-The Press will
tomorrow say that representatives of the
Cubansjunta yesterday gave out copies of
letter signed Enrique Dupuy de
Lome," (the name of the minister of
Spain in Washington), and addressed to
Jose Canelejac, who went to Cuba last
September as Premier Sagasta's personal
representative. In this letter President
Mckinley Is referred to as "weak and
catering to the rabble,'' and as a Glow
politician, who desires to stand well with
the jingoes of his party"
Minister de LONE and an official of the
state department pronounce the letter a
forgery, but Horatio L. Rubens, counsel
for the Cuban juntn, however, says; 81
Know absolutely that this letter is genu-
inc. A man risked his life to obtain it.
We do not hesitate to acknowledge that
it was stolen from Canelejac. 1t is writ
ten on the paper of the legation. The
handwriting is de Lome's and the sigma
ture is his. He may deny it until he is
black in the face, but it is genuine, and
everybody who has seen it will say So. :"

East Boston, the home of District Chief

thousands travelling to the modest home

stories of bravery and hardship, through
which the dead man had passed. Mayor

SOME INFORMATION FOR SPAIN.

Washington, February o.-From a reli-
able quarter it was learned today that the
recent note delivered by Minister Wood
ford to the Spanish government, to which
Madrid cables have referred, relates to
the question of filibustering, and gives an
array of facts and figures, drawn from
the official records of the department. of
Justice and the treasury department here,
showing in detail the painstaking efforts
made by the United States to stop fill
clustering. The statement shows an ag-
gregate expenditure OF upwards of 50,
600, 600 by this government in running
down llibusterers, maintaining detec-
tives, equipplng vessels and searching
parties. It shows that the United States
has been more successful in this regard
than Spain, as large number of fill
busrerers were unprecedented, parties
broken up and prosecutions carried on by
the federal authorities. while the Span
ish naval force surrounding Cuba has not
succeeded in accomplishing equal rights,
the Competitor party being, it is said,
the only one of any proportions which
has been apprehended by the Spanish.

PRESIDENT GoMPERs IN LOWELL.

Lowell, Mass, February S.-Samuel
Goppers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, addressed three meet
ings of textile operatives in this city to-
night. His visit was the result III part
of the supposed antagonism of two local
labor leaders, Thomas i. Connolly and
VIM. L. Kinsell, to the utilization of the
recently formed textile unions with the
American Federation OF Labor. About
two weeks ago three organizers represent
ing the American Federation Of Labor,
were given q cold reception by Messrs.
Connolly and Kinsell at a meeting of the
Weavers' union. AS a result of this.
Thomas Il. Tracey, one of the men thrown
down, went to the headquarters OF the
American Federation of Labor at Wash
ington and informed President Gompers
of the situation asithey had found it in
Lowell, Lawrence and one or two other
cities. Mr. Gompers decided on visit
here Immediately. At the meeting he ad-
dressed in Burke's hall tonight, lively
scene developed in which VIM. l.. Kin
sell arose to state his position with regard
to the federation. He interrupted Mr..
Gompers and aroused the wrath OF the
crowd. Kisses and cries of 'Throw him
out indicated the sentiment OF the
meeting. Mr.. Kinsell stated in substance
that he and Mr.. Connolly had opposed the
representatives of the federation because
their unions was not permanently estaD-
lished and the question of utilization with
the federation was premature. He said
that he was not opposed to the federation,
that when the weavers union became
fitted to discuss utilization it would do
SO.
Mr. Gompers addressed meetings in
Building Laborers and Spinners' halls
his general subject being the advantages
and achievements OF organized labor.

j UTILIZING THE ABATEMENT OF A
NUISANCE. rs

Nine miles west of Aurora, ILL.,, is
Jericho Corners. There stands Metho.
dist Episcopal church in need of funds,
says the Christian Advocate. In order to
raise money the young men organized
themselves into two parties, and for a
week devoted their attention to the
slaughter of sparrows with the under
standing that the losing division should
buy an oyster supper for all the hunters.
The county pays bounty of two cents
ahead for each sparrow slain. AT the
end of the week a count was made; Cap
tain Johnson's army had slaughtered
/ ,674 sparrows, and Captain Calkins' 8
party, 1856. The ladies of the church
served an oyster supper to the hunters,
the Calkins party paying the bill,
Thirty-two hundred sparrows at two
cents head gave the church sixty -four
dollars. This is strange contrast with
the passage of Scripture, "The sparrow
had found a house, and tie swallow a
nest for herself, where she may lay her
young, even Thine affairs"
