Matters Of Moment From the
Far-off Northland
WOMEN OF SWEDEN.

William e. Curtis, the correspond
ent who has been In Sweden recently,
pays glowing tribute to the women
OF that country, as follows:
Il cannot close this series of letters
without Offering an humble offering
and sincere tribute of respect and ad.
miration to the women of Sweden
wherever you find them-in the kit
chen, the factory, the harvest field,
the hospital, the schoolouse, the
drawing-room or the palace. They are
good mothers, good daughters and
good wives, and while their devotion
to their sons, husbans and fathers
Is not surpassed by their sister in any
land, they are at the same time in
dependent, self-reliant and progressive
to degree that offers striking con
trast to the representatives of their
sex in the other countries of Europe.
They give their best talents, affections
and strength; they ask the same in
return.
There is no country, not even the
United States, where women exercise
wider influence, both direct and in.

church, upon the platform and In the
press. There is no other country in
which the professions, trades and
other occupations are so free to them
or in which their opportunities are
utilized with greater zeal, ability and
success. They work side by side
with men upon the farms. in the fac.
tories, in mercantile establishments
contingencies, government Offices
and in art, science and literature, and
are equally capable, although, as in
other lands, their pay for the same
labor and equal results Is less.

They do not think it wise to extend
the franchise any farther for fear that
universal suffrage will result in the
corruption of national politics. which
is now comparatively pure. They pre-
fer the present restrictions, which
give the ballot only to women who
pay taxes, because it depriyes ignorant
and incompetent of a voice in the gov

often attend the participation of the
masses in elections. They prefer to
direct their efforts to securing an in
crease in women's wages, so that they
may receive the same compensation as
men for the same work, and hope to
accomplish practical results by educat-

FRESHrIEN AT THE UNIVERSITY.

The freshman is altogether the most
conspicuous figure at the Wisconsin
university during the fall months.
This is not altogether because he is so
green, although to be sure one is oc-
casionally found who sends his trunk
up to the presidents Office or applies
at ladies' hall for room and board.
II is rather because as the boy is
father of the man so the freshman is
father of all the glory Of the coming
generation of university life. For
this reason professors, upper classmen
and representatives of the various
student organizations devote most of
their spare time during the first few
weeks to carefully trying out the new
material. The first traditional trying
out process is the annual sophomore
freshman rush. This invariably takes
place after the first meeting of the
freshmen for gymnasium drill. Both
classes prepare for the encounter in
advance and thousands of spectators
are always on hand to see the fun.
This year the sophomores surrounded

They formed in five ranks perfecting
an impregnable line by locking arms.
The plan was to sweep large number
OF freshmen into the lake before the
entire class could get out. Their fierce
yell,

what was in store for them. Their
plan might have worked had not the

that they would be able to recognize
each other and then hribed Hickey,

door. This movement took the sopho-
mores on the flank and rear and so
surprised them that they were soon
swept into the lake amid the yells OF
the freshmen;

1t will be seen by this that Amelia

al points unique. The other woman
managers are only carrying on bust

by their husbands. while Miss Bingham
started her stock company by herself.
She says that soon, next season pos
sibly, she will have a theater Of her

her methods are more interesting. Any

LAST SLAVE SHIP CAPTAIN
Captain Foster Brought Last Human
Cargo to America.

Captain Foster Brought Last Human
Cargo to America.
Captain William Foster. commander
Of the last American slave vessel to
make the perilous voyage to the slave
market Of Africa, died at his home
near Mobile the other day. Captain
Foster was the commander of the slave
ship Clotilda that brought the last car
20 or slaves to the United States. The
trip was made only after many thrill
Ing scenes. requiring weeks Of skiIlful
maneuvering and dangerous exploits.
Just before the north and south en-
gagged In war Captain Foster built the
CIotilda and announced that he would
make a trip to the gulf Of Guinea de-
spite the fact that United States war
vessels had burned and sunk the ships
of many who tried the voyage. He
was warned repeatedly Of the dangers
attached to such an undertaking, but
he equipped his ship and sailed away.
He reached the African coast after
going out Of his course many times and
remained along the coast for a month.
He succeeded in getting 100 negroes on
board before he was detected by the
watchful vessels of the United States.
He was pursued, but easily outdis-
tanced his p%ursuers and two months
later arrived in Mobile bay with his hu-
man cargo. A steamboat met the slave
ship during the night. and the negroes
were transferred in order to avoid the
custom house officials. Captain Foster
set his vessel on fire and passed
through Mobile without being detected.
The government authorities hunted for
him for months, but he eluded them
until the close of the war, when he re.
tired from the sea.
