Women Workers In England.

At the recent conference of women
workers held in Brighton, England. al
most every subject under the sun was
touched upon. Touched upon" is used
adviseIly, for the time limit made it
impossible for any speaker to do more
than tell what she would talk about
had she the opportunity. Still, with
the vogue suggestion has nowadays,
hints and words to the wise do more
than did two hour diScOurSeS i'll former
times To set people to thinking and act
ing in new and better directions. i is
hardly possible, brief as were the adj
dresses made at this conference, to
even give list of the subjects; but, as
Mrs. Humphry Ward was the most
prominent speaker and as her subject
was one of deep interest everywhere,
glimpse at it al least may be record
cd. 1t was The Training and the Aft
er Care of Afflicted Children Mrs.
Wards plea was for especial schools
tor crippled children schools where
they would not be urged either by rules
or by their own ambition to keep up
with perfectly healthy children. Per-
sonally Mrs. Ward has been instrument
tai in establishing in London day
school for the benefit of children who
are suffering from some physical dis
qualification which prevents them from
attending the regular schools with adj
vantage. There are also two other
schools i'll London for children physic-
ally disabled by spinal diseases or some
other painful complaint. But there IS
need of further schools for cripples,
and Mrs. Ward is enthusiastic in work
maintains carriage or ambulance in
which the ailing children are taken to
and from school. and there i also

Ward urged. many ailments might be
cured if such schools Were established
in all large cities where individual at
tontion could be- given TO the physical
and mental requirements of the child.
The child and its needs. 10y the way,
received a good deal of attention at
this conference, but only one more
speaker shall Ice quoted, and that is
Miss Ida Farnell. who deplored the
tendency to play rough games and con-
jured UP a terrible picture OF what
might have happened had Dante play
eel hockey with Beatrice. No Vita

LIGHT IN NIGHT.

Bleak winds across the meadows, and the nigh
No shines from the blue,
But over ell the unforgotten light
In the dear eyes of you
In what strange pathways may your footsteps be
/ NAV not dream or know.
Only this joy comes in the dark to me
That have loved you so!
1t was not much to 1ove-O heart OF mine,
ALI that was pure and bright
Robes of red wrath and crimson to resign
For raiment that is white
It Was not much to yield earth's gold and dross
For realms with Joy replete
And in the darkness, clinging to cross,
Find mercy at your feet.
So night is never night when the sweet thought
OF love is with still.
II to loves scourged, sad limbs ARE
brought,
Lo, love is with still!
o winds across the meadows and the night
o stars that leave the blue!
There shines, sweetheart, the unforgotten light
In the dear eyes of you!

She Paid the Fine.

The Boston Herald says: "a man
was brought into the Springfield police
court the other day charged with neg
lecting to support his wife. He plead
ed guilty and was fined $50. Thereup-
on his neglected wife stepped up to the
clerks desk and paid the fine, which
was promptly refunded to her under
the provision of the law relative TO
nonsupport cases. which provides for
the payment of the amount of the fine
imposed on the husband to the wife
when the court so directs. The law ap-
pears to be based on the right princi-
pie, but it operates queerly sometimes,
as in this case"

i
The theory advanced by Nc. Biowttz in
the London Times, that It was. an Offset
TO Franco for Russia.s supposed no,ni-
nation Of Count waidersee, is regarded
as purely fancitul, &
a much simpler and more reasonable
explanation Is advanced by one Of the
diplomatic officials who has taken an
active part in the enegotiations, He
says that Russia recognizes the obvious
fact that 1t Is to her advantage TO have
iawcak neishbor instead OF having a
partition Of China, which would range
a number of the powers alongside iof
Russia. For this reason, 1t Ii said, Rus
sla's chief aim is TO maintnin the pres
ent territorial conditions.
M The report that the Chinese minister
at st. Petersburg, Mr. Yang Yu, was
obliged to give up his pala,lal reslden :e
and seek cheap quarters because OF the
lack OF remittances from Pekin Is dis
posed OF by Mr.. 81, one OF the Chinese
officials who has recently arrived here
from St. Petersburg. He says that Mr..
Yang Yu gave up his house because the
lease had expired aud he expected to be
recalled. =
This was before the present trouble
and was in no way due to any lack OF
remittances. AS a matter OF fact, the
information reaching here shows that
the Chinese government is now carry
Ing on its various governmental fuhc-
tions. There has been a decrease in
the revenues due to the disorder, but
the regular system OF government bIsi-
ness Is being carried on the same Jas
ever. This is SO as TO the Chinese lega-
tion here, which Is said TO have suffered
no Inconvenience by reason OF the up
heaval. An official communication re-
ceived here through diplomatic. chan
nels makes the rather surprising state
ment that Il Hung Chang is at present
using all his efforts to have one or more
of the powers dissent from Russia.s
proposition, believing that rupture OF
the allies Will be OF greater advantage
to China than any agreement, even, on
the favorable basis put forward by
Russia.
