the face of such a specially as that,
the question comes, why do the young

really think that their hearts, which

the cold, pink veined and beautiful

Pot-Boiiers Pay Best.

An artist whose name is familiar in
this town said several days ago that
he made more out of his pot-boilers
than from his more pretentious pic
lures, says the New York Sun. In this
case pot-boilers means illustrating.
"Of course, a lot of the illustrating"
he said, "is high-grade work of its
class, and 1 am not ashamed to sign
my name to it. Like many other ar
fists in my class, however, 1 make a
good many pictures for illustrating
which are either published anonymous
ly or under an assumed name. 1 can
not afford to sell my oil painting for
small prices, no matter how much I
may need the money. This would not
be fair to people who have bought my
pictures, and it would injure my repu-
tation."

A TYPICAL WOMAN.
George Eliot Had the Idiosvncrasies of
Her Sex.

George Eliot Had the Idiosyncrasios OF
Her Sex.
For no Judgment of George Eliot can
be discerning which does not consider
the vital fact that she was-even in
degree really TYPICAL woman. She
belonged to the subjective sex, and is
the most objective of novelists. 1t Is
the fashion at present to neglect the
distinction of sex in speaking of wom-
en-. and pay them the compliment. or
do them the justice, of treating them
severally as individuals, Disseminated
merely as men are Disseminated. New
ertheless, until their distinction in GER
tain fields of activity is as much mat
ter of course as that of men-until
there are no more "Women's Build
ings" at worlds fairs, for example, anu
the proDaganda in favor of the sex as
an entity ceases to obscure the indi-
vidual standard which naturally tends
to get itself established if let alone
n Athing like the eminence of George
ts powers will be singularized be-
Use of the possessor's sex. 1t is-as
yet-generally remarkable, worthy or
remark, that woman should nave
reached such a height Of accomplish
ment. But that her accomplishment
should have been in the field OF
thought rather than in that of feel
ing. and so splendidly successful in
this field as almost to have originated
a species in the domain of fiction, is
specifically the notable phenomenon in
George Eliot's case. Why is she SO
unlike George Sand and Charlotte
Bronte-one may exclude Jane Austen,
In thinking of precedents, as exclusive
ly an artist. Is it because Of her
different and in the main superior
mental quality, and the greater sub
ordination of feeling to thought In her
original makeup? Probably not
Whatever George Eliot became there
can be no doubt that Mary Ann Evans
was a woman in whom the idiosyncra-
sizes of sex were particularly developed.
AS to the existence of such idiosyncra-
sizes and their native, elemental, and
possibly tneradicable character George
Eliot herself never had any doubts
The difference between the sexes is

COON" SONGS.

Lyrics of Foremost Colored Literary Man
of To-day.
There was born in Dayton, O., in
1872, colored boy destined before he
reached 80 years of age to have made
for himself a world wide reputation.
That boy was Paul laurence Dunbar.
the polished man Of letters, the brill
liant poet, the fascinating dialect song
writer and the foremost colored liter
ary man of the age. All in the SPACE
of eight short years Mr.. Dunbar
climbed the ladder of fame from the
deepest obscurity to his present height.
He was the child of slave parents; was
educated in the public schools of Day
ton, receiving as good an education as
most boys in his circumstances would
have received. For some months after
he finished his schooling he worked as
an elevator boy. But during this period
his literary bent was gathering
strength of purpose, and being per-
fected. In his hours, more likely min
utes of rest, in the elevator he was
continually scribbling verses ON scraps
of paper. These scraps he gave to his
mother with the injunction not to de-
stroy them. This was the beginning:
his present success every one knows,
and the end-well, there is brilliant
future before him. 1t is in connection
with coon" songs, however, that Mr..
Dunbar is best known. Probably there
is no more popular writer of these de-
lightful dialect songs than he. Ger
tainly, his lyrics have been accorded an
unwonted popularity and great sales.
Uncle Eph's Christmas" which is to
be presented at Boston Music Hall
this week, contains some OF his most
tuneful coon" songs. In fact, the
libretto of Uncle Bph's Christmas"
was written by Mr.. Dunbar. Will
Marion Cook. who has assisted Mr..
Dunbar before by writing the music
for his songs, is the composer of the
music in Uncle Eph's Christmas"

senator McLaurin Of South Carolina
Defines His Position.

The state democratic executive commit
tee Of South Carolina yesterday received
Senator McLaurin's reply to their action
of July 25, condemning his course in the
Senate and demanding his resignation. In
the course of the letter Senator McLaurin
writes:
II hold my commission from the demo-
cratic voters of South Carolina. I recog-
nize no authority but theirs. take no or
ders from any source but them. and shall
In due course appeal to them for judgment
on my course as a senator and my charac-
ter as a man and a democrat
Personally, l am Indifferent to your ac-
tion, because nobody has made you my
master or censor. and / regard what you
have done as merely expressing the malice
and the fears of enc individual, Senator
b. r. TiIlman.
II shall ask the people to decide be-
tween the man who has tried to help cot
ton factories. open highways Of commerce
and to so command the democratic party
as to command for it the confidence and
respect of the business and laboring ele-
ments north and south, and that Of the
man whose conduct and record has been
to sink the party to disrepute and impo-
tence.

you do not represent the intelligence, the

lima. and to you and Senator Tiliman that

never be.

ment and others, threw every obstacle ano
Inconvenience in the way of the success OF
the union establishments.
To illustrate: While the annual confer
ence between representatives of the Anal
eamated Association and the management
of the mills was under way twelve men
were discharged from tthe union plants !or
no other reason than to give TO the uhloh
a demonstration of the trusts power.
The organization decided that negotla-
tions could not be fairly and satls1actorlly
conducted while overt, aggressive actions
were being resorted to by one side. III a
conference with a view to agreement was
to be conducted it must be while nelther
party was attacking the other Arter
fo1 chile protest was made on this point the
twelve men were relnStateo anu heeoeio
tionS resumed. .
The point upon which negotiations finally
broke off was that the trust tried to make
it condition of employment that the men
in the non-union mills should refrain from
Joining any union. The Amalgamated AS
sociation insisted upon their right TO en-
deavor to organize these non-union men
into the union, and to finally secure LOT
them the wage scale paid in union mills,
these union mills operated, too, by this
same trust. In other words, the Amalga-
mated Association was endeavoring to pro-
tect the rights of these men to organize
for mutual protection whenever they should
desire to do so. The trust was attempting
to take the right from them.
ANY one who observes current Industrial
events can easily read the purpose OF the
trust in its present unfair attitude.
It is that it may throw every obstacle
within it's power in the way of the union,
even to the stoppage Of the union mills,
thus finally encompassing the weakening
and probable destruction Of the organiza-
ton.
Then the trust hopes to have absolute
and undisputed sway to reduce wages at
will This will tend toward the deteriora-
ton Of the condition of the workers, and
also of their product; but the trust is too
selfish to look farther than the immediate
profit which it hopes to secure by reduc-
ing wages.
The Amalgamated Association has devel-
oped strength along lines entirely unex-
pected by the trust magnates. Many Of
the workers in the non-union plants are
making common cause and joining issue
with the union men for the purpose OF
maintaining the union rate and to assert
their right to become members Of the or
ganization of their trade; thus at once de-
molishing the claim Of the trust that the
organization does not represent either the
interest or the desires of the whole trade.
In this struggle our members OF the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers will receive the cordial sympathy
and support of all unions. We know that
any action they take will be within their
full lawful and moral rights.
