partment of current events in the Terre
Haute Saturday Evening Mail, and for
twelve years was connected with the Fire
mans Magazine, published by Eugene V.
Debs, then the most widely circulated labor
magazine in the country. During this time
Mrs Harper travelled extensively, CORE
spopding with various newspapers of prom
inence. She was selected by the world
fair congress committee to write one of the
monographs for Indiana, and read several
papers before the worlds fair congresses
receiving a diploma of honorable men,
ton" She was the Indiana representative
of the Worlds Fair Press League and
charter member of the Press Association
of Indiana and is also secretary of the
State Suffrage Association.
Mrs. Harper went to California in 1893
to place her daughter in Stanford Univer-
sity. When the suffrage campaign opened
in that state in 1896 Miss Anthony asked
her to take charge of the press, and during
eight months she was in constant commune
cation with the $50 papers which advocated
that campaign she accepted Miss Anthony's
invitation to go to Rochester and write her
While with Miss Anthony she
had access to the letters and documents of
a century, and the work was over year
in preparation. 1t Is now finished and the
book is published. Miss Anthony Is as
proud of that book as a boy with a pair of
new skates. she thinks 1t Is a wonderfully
pretty book, and so ii is, full of quaint pic
lures and Miss Anthony's Quaker ways
Next to the book Miss Anthony loves Mrs
Harper and her bright young daughter
Miss Winnifred.

where When the Womens Relief Corps
was organized Mrs. Robbins became one of
its earliest promoters, and was, for the
first and only time in its history, unani-
mously elected department president of
Michigan She is one of the most fervidly
loyal women imaginable. and has for many
years held most responsible positions in
the organization, ranking as leader. She
is a pleasing and eloquent speaker upon
fraternal, charitable and patriotic themes,
and during the season OF Grand Army re-
unions and campfires she is always in de-
mand. Her strongest writing has been
upon patriotic subjects. and her articles
have been widely printed and copied. Every
patriotic reader in use in the public schools
of the country has extracts from her ar
ticles.
Mrs. Robbins is corresponding secretary
of the National Council of Women. and has
performed her arduous labors thoroughly
and acceptably. Her browning effort for
this great organization was the compila-
ton of the History and Minutes of the
National Council of Women of the United
States" from 1888 to 1898. The volume is
a handsome one, both in paper and print,
and Mrs. Robbins is justly proud of her
work. Infinite riches in a little room"
she says, the volume is the record of an
organization whose aim is to advance
greater unity of thought, sympathy and
purpose 1t is a history of learning for
getfulness of the things that divide, in re-
Numbering the greater things that unite"
If it should turn out that Mrs. Robbins
is elected president it will be found that
she is woman who works in broad ways,
above personalities, leaving petty envy and
strife and bitter animosities behind her
knowing that they crush ideals, dwarf the
souls and ruin the most righteous cause.
She is woman to whom women give love
and allegiance; to whom men give loyal
friendship and highest respect.
Noted Newspaper Writer.
Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper, delegate to the
National Council of Women from the Ma
tional Suffrage Association, and a member
of several committees, is a newspaper wo-
man of acknowledged ability. She is a ma
tive of Indiana, of New England parent
age, and has a natural knack for writing.
For some time she was managing editor
of the Terre Haute Daily News, and did
all of the political writing. Later she was
for several years on the staff of the Indian
apolis News, doing full share of the edi-
torial work, making a speciality of para
graphing, these being widely copied. For
eleven years she conducted a special de-

HAVANA NEWSPAPERS.
Yankee Enterprise and Industry ms
Evidenced by the Press.

Americans in Havana are not lacking for
newspapers. There are several in that city
run by enterprising Americans, and the
news furnished through their columns is
interesting to Americans at home as well
as those in Cuba. The Havana Advertiser
is good example of the American press in
Havana, and the following personal ex-
tracts and comment from its columns will
snow how Yankee industry and enterprise
is working in the Pearl of the Antilles:
General Lee, commanding the depart
ment of the province of Havana left yes
terday with his secretary, MIR. Pedigo and
Interpreter, Mr. Betancourt, for a visit of
inspection to Isle of Pines. This famous
island is in General Lees jurisdiction, and
1t Is possible that some of the troops of
the 9TH Corps may be sent there as a gar
risoning force. 1t is General Lees purpose
to become familiar by personal observation
with the conditions existing in his province
and this visit is only one of a series planned
to embrace all the territory within his
jurisdiction.
The proposition of the Spanish chamber
OF commerce at Havana to continue in ex-
istence a semi-official representative Of
the Madrid cabinet here is an infringement
upon the customs of international law and
consular regulations. which should not for
a day be permitted by the new Cuban
American regime.
The use of the United States mails for
the conveyance of lottery tickets, drafts
LOT the payment OF tickets, mas been Tor
hidden in Porto Rico, thus giving a death
blow to that business, which hourished 50
long in that island. Why have not similar
steps been taken in Havana2

disbanded the sooner a menacing and con-
Stunning body of idle men may be converted
into peaceful producers. In that way the
Industrial energies Of the country can be
revived and a force dissolved, which, like
the army of Cromwell, is not only mill
tary body, but the dominant political power
in the island.
Special Correspondent Henry Williams
of the Louisville Courier-Journal, writing
to his paper from Matanzas says: our
Kentucky troops, officers and men are much
better pleased with the Cuban natives than
they expected. they find them poverty
stricken and In need, but enthusiastic and

Ever since the medical profession discovered that

why the number of persons afflicted with this dis

later when it found that in treating this dis
ease in its two lost prevalent forms, acid dys-
pepsia and indigestion tone requiring acid and
the other alkaline treatment they, and every
manufacturer, had been giving both remedies in the
same dose and that one eounteracted the effect Of
the other These two serious blunders very readily
account for the fact that 81 per cent OF the grown
population Of this country are now suffering from
dyspepsia, for how could a cure designed to assist

effect could acid alkaline treatment have

the other? OF course, the last mentioned mistake
could be rectihed by prescribing these remedies
separately, but to obtain a remedy by which in

THREE NOTED WOMEN
Widely Interested in the Organization
Of Their Sex.
MRS. SEWALL ONE OF THE LEADERS
The Work Done by Mrs. Robbins
and Mrs. Harper.
A PRESIDEN rIAL CANDIDATE

Mrs. May Wright Sewaii, president of the
National Council of Women and vice presi-
dent of the International Council of 'Wo-
men, with headquarters in London, stands
pretty well up the ladder of fame as a
leader Of women along higher educational
lines, in the field of literature and in club
dom. She is a native of Wisconsin. but
comes of New England parentage. She has
been teacher most of her life. and is to-
day at the head of large classical school
for girls in Indianapolis, where she has a
beautiful home, enriched with art treas
uIes gathered in her many trips abroad.
Mrs. Sewall is probably more widely con-
nected in an active way with local and ma
ticnal organizations than any other woman
in the United States, If not in the world.
She is interested, first of ALL in the adj
vancement and higher education of women
She was the organizer and is yet president
