 A New York Institution.

The New York Exchange For Wom- ans Work might call itself the Bureau For the Instruction of the Great Incom- potent. That has been it's work to q great extent during tho 19 years of it's existence. It was pioneer worker in the line of helpfulness to women. It began offering for sale few badly made articles. but it soon discovered the fact. which women frequently take many years to learn, that 1t was not charity or philanthropy to take poor work, no matter how much the consign- or needed the help of tho money her handicraft might bring. They set high standard of excellence, which has been followed ill all the exchanges of the country. The articles they sell represent the most exquisite quality of woman s work. But they had to educate the con sienors as we'll as set the standard high. Women came to them wishing to be consignors. but knowing of no kind of work they could do. Then they taught them, even discovered their talents for them.
 For many years Mrs William G.
 
 Choate, the president, had what might be called confessional ill one corner of one of the rooms, It was partitioned off by a screen, and there on certain days in the week she saw the would be con signors, listened to their troubles and told them what they could do. If there was no known work the woman could do, Mrs. Choate invented something. This is illustrated i'll the case of the son of one woman. He was little fellow, but he had shipped before the mast. " He was very proud of the number of sailors knots he could tie. Mrs Choate wondered if that knowledge could not be utilized. She suggested that rope or heavy twine screen be made of all this variety of knots The boy did it successfully, the screen was sold for $50, and others were ordered. The ex- change held its annual meeting recently in the Berkeley Lyceum building, which it hopes to acquire if it can raise $35, 900 by the 1st of May. New York Letter ,-4,fa..5...s 9=....5=.z,-..ze

The Death of Gladstone.

Although throughout most of his life
there was a feeling of distrust and dis
like on the part of the Queen toward
MIR. Gladstone, of late years that has
given place to sincere friendship and
admiration. While Disraeli lived and
enjoyed the most complete confidence
of his sovereign, whom he knew how to
1latter and appear to follow in affairs,
when, in fact, he was the Snowman and
royalty the puppet, it was natural that
his chief political antagonist should be
court. In addition to that, there were
episodes in the career of Gladstone
which were not calculated to win es-
TEEN from the direction of the throne.
The disestablishment of the State
Church in Ireland, although manifestiy
demanded by actual conditions in that
province, and plainly a measure of
simple equity, was resented at the time
by the Queen, who since, however, has,
We believe, come, to acknowledge the

Ex Post Fncto Activity.


There is much refreshment in an an
nouncement printed in a local Admins
tration organ this morning. 1t is to
the effect that, inasmuch as the Presi-
dent went into the present war. how
ever reluctantly, from humanitarian
motives, and with a stern determine
tion to feed the reconcentrados at all
hazards, he is now prepared to carry
out that resolution. In other words,
he will stop consulting the convenience
of Admiral Cervera, and invade Cuba
with horse, foot and dragons, so that,
in shcrt time, every reconcentrado
left on the island will be eating turtle
soup from a gold spoon.
The enterprise is entirely feasible as
far as the feeding part of it is con-
cerned. Beginning hostilities with a
view to the relief of the starving thou
sands, victims of Spanish hatred and
cruelty. We commenced operations by
establishing a pacific blockade which
shut out every possibility of any food
reaching them, or their prosecutors, for
that matter; with full knowledge that
the latter had confiscated every pound
of the relief supplies contributed by
our citizens, for army use. The net
result is that the last reconcentrado
has died and his body has been given
to the buZzards. There is no problem
involved in any attempt to succor him
now; he has gone where human rations
are superfiuous, and where Spanish
tortures and other hellishness cannot
reach him.
We may eliminate the reconcentrado
from consideration and turn our atten-
ton to his tormentors. Better late
than never is an excellent motto II

mind to attack BIanco in his fortified

parent inaction on this side of the
water since the Dewey victory has
sadly injured our cause abroad. We
must make up for it by redoubled ex-
ertions now and henceforward.
The day that sees our land forces in

and gunboats lie outside prepared for
the signal of assault, will be a proud
one for the Army, the Navy and the
nation. Remember the Maine!

Government If they were aware that the
late Spanish ambassador had established
himself in Montreal. making that city his
headquarters on this continent for gather
ing information and furnishing his Gov
ernment with data against the interests
OF the United States. He pointed out that
a number of Spanish spies were known
to have gone out from Montreal, crossed
the frontier and were now under surveil-
lance of the American police authorities.
and asked whether 1t was the intention
of the government to take any action in
the matter.
Sir Wilfred Laurier in a guarded reply
said that the attention Of the government
had not been called officially to the pro-
longed stay Of ex-Minister Polo in Can
ada His government was under positive
orders from the imperial authorities to
maintain strict neutrality and could.
therefore take no steps which might be
construed In an infringement except by
direction Of the colonial office.

Removal of the ROdy OF the Author
of .The Star Spanslcd Hammer"
Frederick, Md, May 1s.-Yesterday af-
ternoon the remains of Francis Scott
Key were disinterred from the grave in
Mount Oiivet Cemetery. this city. where
they had rested for over thirty years, and
were transferred to the excavation for
the monument TO the famous composer.
near the entrance to the cemetery, where
they will be walled in by massive struc-
ture of masonry, soon to be surmounted
by the handsome monument now in course
of construction in New York for the Key
Monument Association.
Francis Scott Key died in January. 1S43,
and. though he had requested that his
grave be in Frederick. beneath the shad-
ows of the everlasting hills" his remains
were first Inferred In Baltimore, and II
was not until 1866 that they were removed
to Frederick and placed in the grave in
Mt. Olivet Cemetery, where they have
since lain.
When an association was organized and
Incorporated some years ago for the pur-
pose of raising a fund to erect in this city
a suitable monument to Key, 1t was
promised that the monument should be
placed over his remains. 1t was not con-
templated however, that it should be
erected in Mount Olivet Cemetery. which
is at the city's extreme southern limit,
but it was intended to remove the re-
mains to some prominent place in the city
and there erect the monument. 1t was
thought proper, however, before doing
this. to get permission from Keys rela-
tives. Several years ago this permission
was asked of Keys two daughters, then
living, but both since deceased. The per-
mission was refused, but the ladies agreed
to the removal of the remains from their
resting place in rather obscure part of
the cemetery to another place inside the
cemetery, SO that the monument, while
being over the remains might yet be in a
position of fitting prominence. Yesterday
evening this plan was carried out and,
for the second. but in all probability the
last. time the remains of the famous au-
thor of THE Star Spangled Banner were
moved. They will rest beneath the shad-
ows of the everlasting hills of Frederick
and beneath a beautiful monument
With the remains of Key we're taken up
the remains of - wife. Mary Tayloe Key
whose grave WIS oooide his, and her re-
mains were also r ced in the crypt in
side the foundatio-- of the monument.

ment Of party ends as more important
than anything else. without regard to
moral or ethical considerations. On po-
litical grounds he bitterly opposed the
expedition to the Soudan under General
Gordon Pasha. Coming into power
while that hero was shut up In Khar-
toum, he displayed a marked indiffer-
ence to schemes for his relief. and his
attitude has been regarded as causing
a delay, the principal result of which
was the atrocious murder of Gordon by
the Mahdfs generals. This unhappy
occurrence produced grief and rage
throughout the British Empire. and. We
might say. Christendom. 1t is the one
stain which history will point to. on
an otherwise spotless character and
record.
OF the Intellectual and political gi-
ants whose deeds and fame have add
ed luster to Great Brita.n's golden Vic
torian era, Mr.. Gladstone was the last
survivor CT those who were identified
with its beginning and earlier years.
He was a figure in Parliament when
the little slip of girl of the house OF
Kent ascended the throne that her
uncle vacated by a death that nobody
regretted much, in 1887. That.was more
than sixty years ago! Where is
all THAT goodly company of soldiers,
statesmen, theologians and lite:au who
flourished in England during the stir
ring and fruitful decades Of the nlJ-
century? The last of them answered

Newcastle, Earl Russell, Disraeli, John
Bright. Richard Golden, Lori i'rrby,
Cardinal Newman, Dean Stanley. Ten

Gone; every one! Victoria, who reign
ed over them ALL alone remains in aged
widowhood, without a surviving ccr-
temporary who has contributed IN any
distinguished manner to the glory of
her rule.
Among other characteristics MI. Glad
stone was perhaps the most conprehen-
sively busy man of his generation. I'm
mersed to the ears in great questions
of state, the study and thought de-
manded by which would have been a
maximum burden to most people. he
always found time for his favorite
Greek studies and writings and for his
controversial contributions to current
theological discussion, of which he
was intensely fond, as became his
Scotch lineage. Few of his day were
his superiors in Greek scholarship OF
in classical accomplishments generally.
His knowledge of the grand language
in which Homer wrote his immortal
verse was SO perfect that on one oc-
casion he was able to address dis
linguished audience in Athens in that
tongue. He was extremely polyglot; 1
master of modern languages, and a
as he passed away.
Mr. Gladstones home life was re-
fined, simple and beautiful. At Ha
warden. surrounded by a united and
loving family, and his cherished books.
he found intervals of delightful peace
activity and political strife. Doubtless
he would say himself, as the world
will say of him. that few indeed have
been the men who have extracted more
content and happiness from earth's
pilgrimage On the whole, few have
deserved better at the hands of their
fellow-mortals than William Ewart
Gladstone.
Requiescat in pace!
