Mrs. Ford's Lecture on Friday After.
noon. Literary in Nature.
The second lecture given by Mrs.
Mary HaIford Ford Friday afternoon
was not as largely attended as
the evening before. but it was
perhaps better appreciated, for
the subject, The Development of
Modern Fiction, was one of which
the women wanted to know and
did know something. Many new
thoughts We're presented and in so
charming u way that their impression
was not lost. The sentimental novels
of Richardson and Miss Blrney. where
| in the heroine had pink checks, tiny
waist and no backbone and the heroes
were severe. unapprnachable and rich
hourished In the eighteenth century
There was no sudden change to the
present day fiction, but natural de-
lyelopment. Critics are giving to Jane
Austin, who had little vogue in her own
day. the honor of being the one to con-
nectsthe old and the new, but when the
same critics underestimate Sir Walter
Scott they are committing great err
fror. for he is not all romance and his
books are flied With local color in
which he has been excelled only by
Robert Louis Stevenson. Scott was the
first 10 make interesting all sorts and

Balzac made IT Impossible for any one
again to write merely pretty stories.
and tho he was careful as to plot he
did not make Y more Important than
character analysis. Following Dickens
and Baizac came the school of natural
lists like lola and Tolstoi and from
whose reign back into one where ro-
finance and realism blend we are just
being led. The one who made it possi-
bic for us to be led back was Robert

genius Mrs. Ford made a high tribute.

c. BARNES killed.
Charles 4. Barnes. ex.Agsnt Adams
Express in This City, Killed
In Chicago.
Death Due to a Railroad Accident
The Particulars Are Not
Known.
Rasmus Bru, the Farmer Convicted
ola Misdemeanor. Will Be
Paroled

Charles 7. Barnes, for three years
previous to June ! last agent OF the.
Adams Express Company, in this city,
was killed last night in railroad acci-
dent In Chicago. The news came in a
telegram from Mrs. Barnes at 1880 this
forenoon to Mr.. G. NJ. Cook, but the
particulars We're very meager. Attic
not definitely knownit is supposed that
Mr.. Barnes met his death in the NH
awnukee yards, where he has been at
work as q switchman for the past few
months and as accidents in the rail-
road yards OF a big city are numerous
generally one or two deaths or serious
accidents every day this surmise
seems to be the most plausible one.
E Mr. Barnes death will be learned
here with deep regret, and al,ho the
last few months of his residence here
We're not such as to inspire his ac-
quaintances with the same feeling Of
respect in which they had previ-
ously held him. yet his friends were
many.
Mrs Barnes, whose cup Of sorrow
has been more than full for many
months, will have the sympathy Of all
who knew her here. Mrs Barnes Is at
present with her mother, Mrs. Rood, in
Chicago.
e. ~. Barnes was in the employ of
the Adams Express Company for sew
eral years, having been stationed at
Mason City, as agent, for three or four
Years prior to 1893. From there he left
Office work and took messenger run
on the c., b. & @, between st. Paul and
Chicago. On June I. 1896. he was taken
off the road and assigned to the
scompany's Office in this city, where he
remained until last June. on July IL,
1893, Mr.. Barnes was arrested upon a
serious charge-that of forgery and
preferred by his bonds
men, who We're called upon TO Settle
some Irregularities in the office. Mr.,
Barnes was placed in Jail to await trial
and his case was continued. and after
serving between three and four months
was released, the defalcations having
been settled and the case dropped.
Mr.. Barnes went at once to Chicago.
where his Wife had been since her hus-
bands trouble here He obtained en-
ployment With the Milwaukee as a
brakeman and later went into the
yards as a switchman.
The deceased was a man about 35
years of age. He leaves a wife and
TWO children-Marshal, aged about 4
years. and little daughter, born in
this city. His parents are also living.
and are residents of New. York City, as
are also q married brother and sister.

4 SOLD COMPANY.
j. G. Niitchem and CharlesR.A lunson
VIII Represent tho 4Aetna Life.

To Whom 1t May Concern--On the
18th inst. Messrs. j. G.. Mitchem and
Charles r. Munson contracted with the.
Aetna Life Insurance Company of.
Hartford, Conn, to represent that most
excellent company in Marshall and
adjoining counties.
Messrs. Mitchan and Munson have
had several years experience in this
work with other companies and enjoy
the highest esteem and confidence OF
the people. We can congratulate these
two gentlemen in securing an agency
with a company whose advantages are
so we'll known to those who have III
vestigated. The Aetna being chartered
in 1920, is practically the oldest COM
pany in the United States. Ii has Over
$50, 100000 Of assets and over s5,O0O,00O
of surplus.
While all other companies have been
raising their rates during the last Ave
or six years, the Aetna has adhered To
their original rates and are today FUR
nishing insurance at guaranteed
premium which is much less than the
premiums of some other companies
| who are, even after their estimated
t3dividends are deducted" not half Sc
strong financially. The Aetna Life In
surance Company is the only company
| in existence that ever enjoyed the dis
tinction of having paid constantly in
creasing dividends to their policy hold
5ers during a period of twenty-six con-
secutive years.
The policy the Aetna is now offering
Is absolutely incontestable after one
year and non-forfeitable after two
\ years. The greatest advantage the
above named agents have to make is
1.-the guarantees of the Aetna policies
over their competitors. The fifteen
payment life rates being less than the
Twenty payment life rates of their most
aggressive competitors.
1t is of value to the insuring public
l5of Marshalltown and vicinity that they
at least ask these agents for their
figures before insuring elsewhere. The
Aetna agents claim that dollar will
l buy more in that company than any
lscompany on earth. They refer to their
4 Fpast experience and TO their guarantees
of today. C. F.. BISHOP.

The knowles. in the art Of hypnosis,
entertained small audience at the. Ode
on Thursday evening. Judging from the
interest taken in hypnotic exhibitions In
MarskalltoWn hypnotism is dead here.
One reason for this is. probab bly,. owing
to the great similarity in the style of the
performances. Mr. and Mrs. Knowles
gave fair exhibition Thursday eve
ming. performing many of the old tests
and few new. The professional sub
jects used had a tendency to overdo
matters little in some Instances, but

PEACE AND QUIET PREVAIL.

Commander Tilley Describes Condl-
tiOns on Tutuila Island.
The Navy Department has received re.
port from Commander B. F. Tilley, COM
mandant Of the naval station at Pago
PAP" Tutuila. describing events in that
distant quarter of the world up to October
81. He says that peace and quiet prevail
everywhere among the natives, and that
they are becoming more Industrious and
tractable, and are striving to rise to highen
conditions. They are most obedient and
respectful says Capt. Tilley, even when
l am obliged to refuse their requests or 10
give decisions upon various matters which
are disappointing to them
Capt Tilley recently visited the Islands
of Ofu and Olesiga of the Manau group.
He says he found good anchorages at both
islands and was most cordially received
by the natives. Much attention Is being
given everywhere to the planting Of cocoa
nuts and bananas, and in some place cocoa
trees are beirg planted. There will prob
ably soon be a large increase in the pro-
ductions of the islands. The amount OF
copra already exported this year is mucn
larger thar usual.
The revenues of the island" Capt. Til
ley says, thus far amount to only about
$50 per month from customs dues and
licens-s issued to traders and others, SO
that l am unable to make some such need
ed improvements In the ROADS ana IN tnS

would give mucI encouragement to these
people if our government would spend a
few thousand dollars In this way. They
ha -e no tools and are ignorant in regard
to the construction Of roads and bridges,
but are willing to give their labor. have
refrained from putting any tax upon them.
as they have contributed very literally 10
the construction Of schools and churches,
and, as yet have not recovered from the
effects of the war. l think, however, that
next year q tax of about $1,000 can be col
lected from the islands without causing
any hards p complaint among the peo-
pie.
THE cline of the islands has been
been most delightful for the past six
months and the general health Of the peo
Pie is excellent. 1t Is desirable that a little
money should be spent in some of the VIII
lagos to improve the water supply, which
is SO impure in these places as to be dan
gerouS to the health"

At 11:30 am. the steamer Gelderland,

Early In the day DR.. Leyds and Messrs.
Fischer and Vessels and the other Boer
delegates boarded the launch of the cap
tain OF the port with the purpose of meet
ing and boarding the Gelderland outside the
harbor. The sea proved too rough, how
ever, to permit of their carrying out their
intention, and they were obliged to re-
turn.
The scene at the dock was very pictur-
esque. Every coign of vantage vas occu-

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
PORTSMO1 TIL, Va, November 21.-The
constitutional convention in Virginia may
be diverted from its two great objects, ac-
cording to Thomas H. Barnes Of Nanse-
mond by the office holding class and cor
porate interests In an interview with a
Star representative Mr.. Barnes who bears
a prominent relation to the coming conven-
ton, stated that the qualification of the
franchise and the reduction Of state county
and municipal expenses. which Is proposed
threatened both by the off1ce-holdng
class and by the danger OF federal super
vision of elections.
"The pretext for fraud on the negro being
removed" said Dr. Barnes, "the emanci-
patton of the white votes will follow. AS 1t
is, we find that measures which were first
adopted boldly and in good faith for pre-
serving our civilization by eliminating the
negro vote without constitutional enact
ment has now been carried too far, and op-
crates to disfranchise the white voter as
we'll. The convention Is therefore a neces-
sity, and Its objects must not be defeated -
