A CENTURY'S DEVELOPMENT.
what Changes the Years since 1900
Have Wrought In the status
of women.

The progress of woman, her develop
ment and he enlargement of her sphere
OF action Eom the year 1900 to the
close of the cycle. 1899, is rccounted in
a calendar of the century issued by the
National American Woman's associa-
ton.
1t is full of interesting incidents and
gives many historical facts and much
data of value to the student of woman's
advancement through the last 100 years.
That the attainment OF many things
now enjoyed as matter of course was
only gained by hard and persistent
struggle and the utmost perseverance
and courage on the part of few women
is also clearly shown.
In 1900 married women were not per-
mitted in any country to control their
property nor to will il away at death;
10 all intents and purposes they did not
own it. The legal existence of the wife
was so merged in that of her husband
that she was said to he dead in law"
All possessions passed into the hands
of the husband at marriage. If mar
ried woman worked for wages she could
not legally collect them. as they be-
longed to her husband. She could not
make a will, sue or be sued. Few occu-
pations were open to women.
No college in the world admitted
women. Men had so long done the think
ing for the average woman it was uni
versally believed that no woman was
capable of mastering the highest
branches of learning.
In 1903 a man sold his wife as a COW
in the Sheffield market (England) for
guinea. Newspapers commented upon
| it as a common occurrence. The pull
pits at this time gave frequent exposi-
| tions of the necessary subordination of
women, quoting from ST. Ambrose as
| though inspired: Adam was beguiled
by Eve, not Eve by Adam. 1t is just
that woman should take as her ruler
| him whom she melted to sin, that he
may not fall a second time through fe-
male levity.'
1t was upon such conditions that the
curtain of the nineteenth century rose;
the century which the prophetic voice
of Victor Hugo has proclaimed to be the
| century of women"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
5 The PrefeCt'S Dinner 8

n HE maneuvers that year had been
particularly successful. The move
ments had been regular, no errors com
mitted and the enemy effectively worst
ed.
The review which brought the opera
tions to d close had reunited all the
notablities of the department. The
weather was superb. thereby enabling
the women to make second showing
of their finest toilets some of which had
had their initial appearance at the
opening of the racing season. Society
filled every corner of the spectators
gallery.
After the final detile, which was ac-
complished amid unanimous applause,
the throng scattered in all directions,
and the officers-those at least who
were not compelled to lead the troops
to their quarters-hasfened to present
their respects to the wives and daugh-
ters of the funetionaries.
The prefect, who had been conversing
for some little time with the registrar,
suddenly quilted him upon seeing Col.
Verdelin pass and speedily overlook
him.
''Good day, my dear colonel" he ex-
claimed 81 am glad to be able to shake
you by the hand"
"Well, Duclosoy!" the officer replied,
show are you, and your wife?'
both in good health, thank you,"
the prefect answered. GLORIOUS day,
hey, for the review"
"Deuced fine day." his companion OBJ
served.
"Your cuirassiers wer respondent in
the sunlight" Duclosoy then contin-
ued. do you know, you have mighty
smart-looking regiment"
"Hum," the colonel commented, that
remains to be seen. Bullet me, in turn,
congratulate you. You have fine lot
of citizens"
"You are too kind" the prefect re-
turned. "They are worthy. Do you
contemplate making any stay in our
city?"
Unfortunately, it is impossible v
the officer responded. 81 must leave for
Paris tomorrow morning. am due at
the war office"
"That is to be regretted" Duclosoy
replied. "But do give us the pleasure
Of dining with US this evening at the
prefecture. What do you say?"
"Oh! thanks, ever so much, my good
fellow" Verdelin exclaimed. but
might intrude."
mot at all, not at ALL" his companion
said, 1--WE will be charmed to have you."
"No, really, but l am not present,
able" the officer protested. 81 am lit

you," the prefect interposed. "My wife

The prefect and his wife repaired to
the salon and Col. Verdelin, his face
flushed and very much out of breath.
hastily began by saying:
Accept my apologies, madame; n
thousand apologies, my dear Duclos-
oy."
"But why, colonel?" the projects
wife returned. "We are not provinciaTs.
1t is just eight o'clock"
81 am ashamed, but"
''We are aware" the prefect inter-
rupted, that in Paris you are not in
the habit of going to table before that
hour"
"Oh, Duclosoy!" the officer en-
claimed.
"That is true" the projects wife in
sisted. "When my husband told me
that we were to have the pleasure of
your company at dinner he repeatedly
men toned that it should not be served
before eight o'clock. Am not right,
Emile?"
absolutely, my dear, and l am sure,
colonel, that as it is we will be late, and
that we may have to wait full quarter
of an hour yet"
what is quarter of an hour?" the
colonel observed, with smile on his
lips.
A conversation then ensued between
the prefect, his wife and their guest
M. Duclosoy was witty, Nine. Duclosoy
agreeable and the colonel courteous.
AT half past eight the 'maitre d'ho-
tel" appeared at the door and said:
Madame is served"
The colonel promptly offered his arm
to his hostess and they passed into the
diningroom, where the dinner began

A short time afterward the prefect
was forced to go to Paris. The day
following his arrival he encountered
Col. Verdelin on the boulevard.
Good day, my dear colonel" he
cried, as soon as he perceived him.
"Well! How have you been since we last
had the pleasure of seeing you?"
"Ah, Duclosoy," the officer retorted,
"do not speak of it. have been as sick
es dog! You invited me to dine, you
remember? Well, entirely forgot the
fact and dined at my hotel. At eight
o'clock, my good friend, FASTENED to
the prefecture to make my apologies,
thinking you would then have left the
table. But ] saw that I was sill ex-
pected, and therefore dared not explain.
You understandl-two dinners in sue
cession. still have the second!"
swell, never!" the prefect cried IN
astonishment. "That was just our
case!"-From the French of Adrien

silently, as do all in good society. Only
the sound of the spoons was heard
striking against the porcelain of the
plates, which contained a savory soup.
The chef, moreover, had worked won
ders. In half an hour he had composed
and executed a menu both dainty and
copious, to which the colonel, who en-
joyed good living, would not have failed
to do due honor if he had not been re-
strained, perchance, through timidity
and discretion.
"Come, colonel, have a little more
trout" the prefect urged.
mo, really, Duclosoy, l have par
taken so freely of the hors d'oevure,"
the guest protested.
Colonel, you are a hypocrite," Nine.
Duclosoy exclaimed. You scarcely
touched the radishes. Must I, i'm turn,
urge you to accept? You see how VIC
have finished ours"
Madame, it shall be as you desire"
he said, but you will bear me com
pany."
Look, I am being equal y served"
she returned.
"And Duclosoy ALSO" thsir visitor in
sisted. "My good fellow! You have
eaten nothing. Come, just little more
trout; It will not hurt you'll"
The poor prefect was therefore COM
PEELED to follow suit.
The dinner continued gayly enough,
but not, however, without some incon-
venience. The colonel was pressed to
partake of every dish, but after the first
attack on some pate de foie gras he
retreated in good order, but began an
other assault, and, notwithstanding
what he had undergone, made quite a
gap in some Of the crust.
But, as if he had OWNED his hosts
position, he seemed to take a malicious
delight in compelling them to follow
his example and eat heartily.
AS soon as they had finished coffee
the colonel, looking both red and uh-
comfortable and visibly uneasy, made
his adieus, pleading the fatigue of the
day as the excuse for his speedy with
drawal. He had scarcely disappeared
when the prefect and his wife. their
features contracted, rang and sank
back On a couch. simultaneously de-
manding cup of camomile.
AS for the colonel. he slowly regained
his hotel, and with an oath exclaimed: {:

CLUB FOR LIGHTNING JIM STEWART.
Opponents In the Twentieth Will Try to
Knock Him Out at the Primaries.


The Hon, Lightning Jim Stewart. once State
Inspector Of Gas Metres, has found his power
over the Republican voters OF the Twentieth
Assembly district disappearing at an alarming
rate during the past two or three months In
stead OF being supreme in the district. as he
was after he won the leadership from :. Van
Rensselaer, Crugcr by force Of arms, he has dis
covered that his word no longer carries the
weight that it did and that at the headluar-
tiers Of the Republican County Committee the
suggestions OF the Hon. Richard ~ Lush get
greater attention than his own. The loss Of
his commanding position in the district has
hurt Mr.. Stewards feelings almost as much as
uld the loss Of his State job.
The Twentieth district did not make as
creditabc showing in the last election as the
Republican managers in the county thought it
should have made, and an invcstiEat lon showed
that there was n large and growing IMPOSITION
TO MIR. Stewards leadership among the voters;
Mr. stewart personal following was devoted
to him, but II did not include all of the Republic
cans IN the district. nor enough OF them ac-
cordIng to the judgment OF IT," party managers.
the discomfort with Stewart had been growing.
many Of the voters selected Mr.. Lush as their
representative and urged him to explain the
condition Of affairs to Chairman Quigg. Mr.;
showed d to to tho satisfaetion OF Mr. Uuigg that
tbs existing order oil things did not serve the
best interests Of the party in the district. Mr..
Lush explained that no one wanted to make
trouble il 1t was going to EN- barrasS the County
Committee. but that some relief was needed II
the party was ever to be put in effective shape
In the Twentieth.
Mr.. QulKG told Mr. Lush that what tho
County Committee wanted was AN honest
representa- on uf the voters Of every district.
an that il a MAJORITY OF tho Republicans in the
Twentieth were dissatisfied with Mr. stewart
leadership tho County Committee would sub
NIT with az much grace rs it could 20 the loss
OF him as an executive member. The voters
opposed to Mr. Stewart promptly got tognther
and formed club. with which they say they
can knock him out ut the primaries in Sep
