RECOGNITION OF WOMEN.
The Proposed Statue To Miss
WilIdrd.--Other Recent In

A Washington letter to the New
York Evening Post sage: "This is truly
woman's age. The strides made In the
direction of her greater social and po-
litical freedom and the changes in her
legal status in many parts of the civil
lied world are familiar to the read ers
of newspapers; but not so generally re-
cognized is the disposition of govern
ments and communities to show their
vices of individual women,
and especially in spheres where
they have confined their ac,ivi-
ties within lines pre-eminently woman
ly instead of entering into competition
with the other sex, While congress
was mulliug over the presentation of 8
suitable testimonial to Miss Helen
Gould for her various kindnesses to
the sailors and soldiers OF the Spanish
war, the Illinois legislature was put
ting upon it's passage an act providing
lard, to be placed in the capitol in
Springfield, side by side with the sta
tues of eminent statesmen and war
riors. Miss Gould's services were not
the less valuable because they were
within q strictly feminine field, nor
were Miss Willard IS efforts in behalf
of various social reforms hampered-
they appear to have been helped in
deed-by the fact that she was q wo-
man among women.

social way the persons who actually

life on land, and which has thus honor

CITY REFUSE FOR LIGHTING.
An Interesting Experiment With a
Garbage Plant at ShoreditCh,
London,

The burning of refuse by the Shore
ditch parish of London to supply cleo
tricity for lighting streets, dwellings
and public buildings has been conside-
ra bly, discussed in the English electri-
cal press.
Before the new plant was in opera
ton, says the Scientific American, the
parish had to pay about $4,000 a year
for csrting the refuse to barges on the
Thames and towing it to dumping
place in the sea, and about $40, 900 an
nually was spent for gas for lighting
the streets and parish buildings. Sixty
thousand dollars was expended for an
electrical plant. The plant ran all the
time during weekdays and twelve
hours on Sunday, furnishing electric
power for small manufacturers during
the day and for Illuminating purposes
at night. The street sweepings have
furnished all the fuel, only 1892 being
expended for coal.
The total expenditures for the first
year were $1,000 for wages. supplies,
insurance, repairs, etc. The interest,
sinking fund, rents, depreciation, ETC.,
was SO POS, making a total of S29, 215.
The gross receipts for the sale of lig t
and power. including a credit equal to
the average charge for street lighting
by gas, was S45, POS. thus leaving ne,
profit o; SIS, $50. This will be used in
enl8rging the plant. OF course, by
street sweepiugs must be understood

WILLIAM p. HOUSE

TEN ut for the prejudices which many
critics charge upon the feminine mind
as innate and uncomfortable, she knew
no creed or other artificial distinction
in the dispensation of her charities, and
also took pains to assert the objects of
her benevolence according to their de
serts, so that her money was not fritz
tered away.
1t is to the credit of the American
people that they show q disposition to
recognize rather the gentle and hum
ane than the more forceful traits IN
women Life saving medals. awarded
without distinction of sex, have gone
in many instances to women, as was
eminently proper. Here and there
other cases are noted where heroism,
involving personal courage aud hazard
of life, have called forth some special
mark of appreciation, but only one case
comes now to mind where monument
was erected in honor OF woman whose
most famous achievement was asSoclat'
ed with violence of any sort. In a New
England town q bronze stutue OF Han
nah Dustin surmounts fine granite
monument, on the four sides OF which
are tablets commemmOratinR her cap
ture by the Indians, the flight of the
captors with herself and other prison
ers, her killing of the Indians while
they were asleep on the way, and her
later return to her home. In no case,
so far as can now be remembered have
Americans honored in marble OIL
bronze the memory of a woman whose
chief claim to distinction has been thai
she led an exemplary life in a position
of great responsibility. unless we
should place in that category the
Mary Washington monument at Fred
erick sburg, Va. The British people
have done great deal for the memory
OF Queen Victoria in the rearing Of
statues, busts and tablets, and Berlir

Farm and Home, an agricultural
journal with large circulation all
over the country, on the first of May
propnunded to its readers a series Of
questions bearing upon our newly
assumed colonial relations. 1t now
publishes summary OF the replies
which have been received - nearly
81, 900 in all, of which about 10 per
cent came from New England, about
% from the Middle States, nearly 40
from the Central West, and the rest
almost equally from the South and the
Pacific Coast.
The first question was, HShould the
Filipinos be held in subsection to the
United States, or should they be
allowed to form an independent govern
ment?" Tho answers from each of the
five sections of the country were largely
in favor of Independence, the totals
footing UP 1880 for Independence to
s, 4l6 for subsection. The majority was
still greater for Cuban independence
Ii, 1899, as against 1882 for annexation.
On the other hand, large proportion
favor the annexation Of Porto Rico to
the United States-ll, S97, as against
6,004 for its Independence and l, TAG for
its annexation to Cuba.
Finally, not to 90 through the whole
list, tho expressions of opinion were
most emphatic on the comprehensive
question lin general, should the
United States adhere to or depart from
its former policy of non-interference
with nations beyond either ocean,"
There were l5,624 replies in favor of
adherence, as against only 1887 in
favor of the new departure.

Died IN New YORK. After n Brief Illness OF
Appsndicitis-aad Headquarters Here.
The Rev. james Fl. Cook, bishop
of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church, with headquarters in this
city, died in the Presbyterian Hospital,
New York, Friday from appendicitis.
The deceased clergyman was admitted
to tho hospital at O'Clock, and ex-
pired q few hours later.
Bishop Cook was born in New York
City 81 years ago. He was educated
in the public schools of the city, and
then went to Lincoln University, where
he expected to complete a course Of
study TO prepare him for the ministry.
After one year at the University, no
was compelled to come home on account
of the illness of his mother. He, how
ever, succeeded in educating himself,
and was ordained to the ministry in
1871, serving various charges until
eight years ago, when he was chosen
as one of the bishops. He was as
signed to tn Second District, with
headquarters at Wilmington. Three
months ago he went to New York to
assume charge of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal Church at Second ave-
nue. and Eighty-fifth street, whose
pastor, the Rev. George Washington
Long, is i'll. He occupied the pulpit
of the church on Sunday morning last.
and then went to New Jersey to preach
in the afternoon. He returned to New
York during the evening, and com
planned of being i'll. DIR. 7. S. b.
Miller, a colored physician, was called,
and found that his patient was suffer
ing from appendicitis. When the hos
pital physicians examined the patient
they decided that the illness had pro-
ceeded too far to permit Of an operation.
Bishop Cook is survived by widow
and one son and daughter. When here,
his residence was at No. 1l3 West
Eleventh street.

at His House.
Charles Harkins of No. 101l Lombard
street was arraigned in the city court
Saturday on the charge of keeping
a disorderly house. He was represented
by Thomas Davis. Howard L. Stats,
who lives nearby, said he returned
from market at IL. 80 O'Clock ON the
night OF August 9th and he saw Har-
kins' wife and children walking in the
alley and Harkins appeared to have
possession of the house and was using
boistrous and profane language and
annoying people in the neighborhood.
Mr.. Staats said he had known Of Har.
kins ejecting his family when snow was
on the ground. James S. Davis had
little personal knowledge of the trouble.
Mrs. Myrtle Black, who lives two
doors away, said she heard the trouble
on the night of August 9th. She said
she heard disorder in the house and saw
Mrs. Harkins and the children go out
on the pavement, Mrs. Harkins being
in her bare feet and carrying ore Of
the children. She alleged that on one
occasion Harkins accused neighbor of
taking the children in and becoming
angry he broke the glass in the neigh
boris vestibule door.
John Huntley, who lives in the adj
joining house, saw the trouble on the
night of August 9TH. His testimony
was somewhat similar to that of Mrs.
Black. Several other witnesses were
called and according to their testimony
it appeared that there we're other people
in the house on the night of August
9th besides the members of the family
and Harkins put woman not mem
Der of the family out of the house, 1t
was testified that a man called at the
house for this woman, and when he
saw Harkins be ran through the house
from the front to the rear door.
Harkins, who took the stand in his
own behalf, said there was woman
visitor at his house on the night of
August 9TH, and while she was there a
man called to see her and he ordered
the man and woman out and finally
elected them. He thought he had per-
feet right to put people out of the
house that he did not want there
Ejecting these people, he said, was the
cause of the trouble.
Attorney Davis said the defence was
that Harkins was protecting his house,
which he had perfect right 70 do.
Mr., Davis held that there was no viola
tion Of the ordinance concerning disor-
derby houses, while Assistant City Soil
citor Cahoon commended that there was
violation. On the charge of keeping
a disorderly house Harkins was fined
$50.
Harkins was also accused OF assault
ing his wife, but at the request of the
latter the case was dismissed.

In court Friday Hill alleged that
Boyer struck him with brick, and at
Saturdays session Clarkson said
Boyer attacked him while at his work
in the stable.

court held this to be no excuse and i'm
posed the, second fine Of S25, with the
proviso that on failure to pay either of
the fines three months Imprisonment
