And her mother slept in the Channe

But the widow laughed at all.

And the child is dead. Be still" she said,
What can you do to me?"

And the candle guttered low;
And she tried to sing the Passing Song
That bids the poor soul go.
And Mary take you now" she sang,
That lay against my heart"
And Mary. smooth your crib tonight

Then came a cry fro mthe sea.
But the sea-rime blinded the glass
And heard We nothing, mother?" she
IT'S the child that waits to pass"

But the crying would not stop.
The widow lifted the latch
And strained her eyes TO see,
And opened the door on the bitter shore
To let the soul go free.
There was neither glimmer nor ghost.
There was neither spirit nor spark,
And Heard we nothing, mother?" she
Its crying for me in the dark"
And the nodding mother sighed.
"Tis sorrow makes We dun.
Have we not heard the cry OF the tern
Or the wall of the wind-blown gull?"

The gray gull follows the plow,

Oh, mother. l hear it now!

And She went to the calling sea.
In the heel of the wind-bit pier,
Where the twisted weed was piled.
She came TO the life she had missed by

For she came to a little child.
She laid 1t into her breast
And back to her home she came.
But it would not feed, and it would not

Though she gave it her own child's
name.
And the dead child dripped on her breast,
And her own in the shroud lay stark.
And God forgive us. mother" she said,

MISTAKES OF WOMEN.

(New York SUM-
THE Mistakes of Women" was the title
of a lecture delivered by Mrs. Augusta
Raymond Kidder last evening at the home
of Mrs. William Curtis Demorest. IS West
~SiXty-sixth street. Mrs. hidder called her
talk a 'lccturette." Probably his was be-
cause il seemed out Of proportion to the
condescendingly at the end of the lecture
that she had made a good beginning,
which he would like to Tnish up sonic
'time. He was not encouraged by the
women present.
According 10 Mrs. Kidder. the first mis-
take a woman ever made was responsible
for the introduction of the cradle Some
of the later ones, however, have not turn
ed out so well. One of these latter-day
ones is the way they go to work 10 dem
onstrate their equality with man.
Women seem to think that the way 20
gain their own ground is to pull the
ground out from under man and topic
MIN over Still, 1t must be admitted, that
women are not fairly treated. There's
looking backward, for instance. Bellamy
did il. He was a man, and got fame and
fortune for il. Lots wife did il. She was
for it. 1t seems as if it was adding insult
to injury to turn her into the cneaDest
commodity in the market. If II had been
ugar. we could have appreciated the OBJ
viouS compliment TO the sex. Still, it Is
some comfort that, even in her disgrace,
she Was something Indispensable.
Another mistake of woman is loving
too much. OF course, owe is beautiful. III
vine. and all that. when it is deserved.
But our sex is not prone to investigate.
1t is another of our mistakes that we
trust too much. There is plenty of coun-
terfeit money afioat in the kingdom of
love, anyway, eSen If the coin were gem
uine, and il is a feminine mistake 10 give
ten dollars in change for a ~one-dollar
bill. According to COmmerSon, one Of
women's mistakes is nat they distrust
men too much in general not enough
in particular.
"A fatal mistake of woman is her ten
dency TO self-effacement. Did / hear any
gentleman smiley' asked the peaker. al
ter the derisive laughter which followed
her remark had died away. II need not;
for il is true that for ages women nave
been content to inspire. They have been
more than willing 10 bask in The reflected
glory of those they loved. Id like to
paraphrase one Of LongfellOw's verses:
g Wives of great men oft remind US
That they make those men sublime:
That, If husbands couldn't lind us.
They'd be failures half the time
Another mistake of women is that
do NOT allow themselves to rest.
What women do not know about eating
and resting has built 10000 hospitals. An
other of women's mistakes is not knowing
how 10 eat. Consider the ways of men in
this respect and be wise. Another mis-
take is worrying. Some women remind
of children who plant seeds in the gar
den and dig them up the next day TO see
how they are prospecting. We all renen,- |

SENATORIAL NOMINATIONS.

There is a bill pending in the legisla-
ture authorizing the addition OF names
of candidates for the United States SEN
ate to the regular ballot. and providing
for the fling of a declaration of can
didacy in the same way that other can
didates secure the right to run fo1
office.
This measure was drafted by Chair
man James H. Moyle OF the Democratic
state committee, who is very enthusi-
astic in its p 1t probably APP
p~rOaches, as near as any state law,
reaching beyond the limitations of state
legislation, Fan in the direction of test
ing public sentiment.
But senatorial elections are held ac-
cording to the federal constitution and
statutes, and however desirable a
change in the present system may be,
there is no way to actually bring it
about except through an amendment to
the federal constitution.
To be effective a law should be man
datOry for disObedience. amounting at
least to d lapse of right or a loss OF
opportunity which would spur men to
its observance.
Such a law as the one proposed would
not be binding. and while its privileges
might be utilized by the enthusiastic
friends of some active candidate. it is
more than likely that three-fourths Of
h voters of the state would pay no at
tentiOn whatever to the ticket append
age, no more han they do to constitu-
tional amendments.
No matter whose name may appear
OF Il ticket, there is nothing to prevent
another candidate from going into a
race when his candidacy was never
mentioned until the election returns
were in. Besides. il is possible, undo
such q system, for a candidate of one
party to get all the votes cast for sena-
tor, while the other party secures a
Iwo-thirds, or even the unanimous con-
troll Of the legislature.
After all, it is probably the best way
OF ascertaining the rival wishes of the
people. How would it do to require
political parties at their state CONVEX
ton 10 name their candidates for the
senate?

1t is generally remarked that the
presidents war investigating commits
sion seemed to have an intuitive idea of
what he wanted brought out and what
suppressed. 1t was "a peculiar circum-
stance, to say the least, when the pop
ular demand for the investigation be-
came so emphatic hat it was not to
be longer ignored there was consider
able difficulty in making up the COM
mission. 1t is also remembered that
in nearly every case of d%eclination to
serve by men originally selected, the
d%eclination followed a personal inter-
view with Mr.. Mckinley at the White
House. The inference was that the
president insisted in advance upon a
report which should not be too severe
in its findings of fact and in the Ian
guage used to announce them. This
may be nothing more than a suspicious
circumstance, however.

the line into sections averaging abou
200 miles in length. with an inspector
and a staff of linemen to every sta.
ton. Branch lines are to be con.
structed to important points, from
Fort George to Uganda on the one side
and to Stanley Falls upon the other
and from Uvira, at the head Of Lake
Tanganyika, to Mwanza. at the foot OF
Victoria Nyanza.
1t is a gigantic undertaking. but not
for Cecil Rhodes. The line will con-
meet at Khartoum with the road al
ready built by General Kitchener in
his invasion of the Soudan. The sec
ton from Karonga to Abercorn, at the
south end of Lake Tanganyika, is near
ly finished, n the further section to
Pamlilo, on the Congo Free State bor-
der, has been surveyed.
Africa, the dark continent of ignor-
inc and brutality, is about to have
the s~earchlight of enlightenment turned
on by the powerful hand of the pro-
gressive Anglo-Saxon race. By nature
the valley of the Nile and the land
of the African lakes are ready for the
implements of industry. They require
no irrigati =. present no obstacles of
drouth or flood, like the settlers of
the agricultural empire west of the
Mississippi river had to contend with.
All the English have to do, virtually,
is TO supply the machinery and train
the natives. 1t has been demonstrated
that the African will work. The Amer
lean Indian never would.
1t will be an easy task, compared
with he settling of h west, to ~civilize
and utilize the resources of Africa 1t
will not be a wearisome journey over
trackless plains. threatened by thirst
and savages. The immigrant will en-
ter the new regions of Africa by boat
or on an electric car, with telegraph
lines and other facilities for commune
cation and transportation already pre-
pared.
One of the most significant features
of the plan to utilize the of
central Africa is the project for TAX
ing advantage of the cataracts at once
for the purpose of supplying electricity
to pump water, to run sugar mills. to
furnish the railway with motive
to light the streets of Cairo, Wady
Halfa and Khartoum.
The African interior is a land of IL
possibilities, which British en-
ergy and perseverance will turn to the
best advantage.
The change in Egypt is at hand. The
transformation in Africa will come be-
fore we realize it.

There is a ffimsy excuse for a story to

least, or keeps track of for a moment
What is more 10 the point with the au-
dienee. is that there Is plenty of fun and

is a very Dazzler-like tramp. played by
Matt OFT, and his brother Phil shows him
self to be a very agile dancer. There are
a number of singing, dancing girls whose
sole mission is TO please, and the audience
gave evidence that this mission vas ac-
compiished. In short, "All Aboard"

The Theatre.

y large and very brilliant audience was
at the Theatre to see a new Floria in the
person of Blanche Walsh, a woman with a
reputation for beauty and u few roles like
Ifllby. but whose nrst effort in heavier
work IS the present one. Miss Walsh is
~undouDtedly a. very beautiful woman. and
is, moreover, a very earnest. serious
actress That she IS heart and soul in
her work. no one can doubt. and the
wonder will be If she can withstand the
great strain.
Her La Tosca is strong, forceful. pas
SlOnate-it is historical. She combs ones
nerves up on end, and the audience suf-
fers in her suffering. For her acting is
suIerlng. we may well believe that
she has been known TO faint four times
during the course of a performance. But
for all that her portrayal last night
showed nothing of repose, nothing of VIVA
nowadays is called realism" there is no
doubt that she stirred one deeply. for
Miss Walsh is a woman of talent. of tenn

and it is no wonder that the theatricalism
which pervades it all has also extended to
the acting of ii.
Mr.. Mcdowell is forceful and sure as

of the evening with Miss Walsh. This
actor is also most fortunate in his stage
presence. Tn supporting company last
night did what was required of them.
