IRV|NG'S INSPIRATION.
Club Women Fail to De-
eide Where He
Got It.

A paper and discussion as to whether
Washington Irvington was typical or
true American writer characterized the
opening meeting of the Woman's Club
Literature Department yesterday after
noon in Hasbrouck Hall Miss Ada D..
Fuller, chairman of the department, open
ed the meeting with short Introductory
address in which she spoke of the sub
ject chosen for the year, American Es-
sayists.' The department, she limited,
might like to take up the novelists, but
it seemed impossible to do justice to
even the essayists in one short winter
The reason of Irving's popularity, she
thought, was that he brought something
new into American literature.
Mrs. J. M. c. Thomas gave very in
terestfng biographical sketch of Irving s
life. History and fiction, she said, both
claimed him. but he was not novelist.
He bore In his style a resemblance to
Addison. He had spent twenty-three
years abroad, and as to whether he was
would conclude, in the words of Lowell
Neither English nor American, but sim
ply Irving
Mrs T. j. Kennedy very ably discussed
Irving as the American. What ne had
done for America, she said, was to make
the world see what he felt, the sere charm
of beauty and nature.
s.EIe taught the world said she. ITO see
the Hudson as we see it now. BY his
creative imagination, by a few strokes OF
his pen he has done for that lovely river
what a thousand years have done for
the Rhine. He has clothed it with ro-
nance. He no doubt was Influenced by
his predecessors, as we found last winter
in discussing Shakespeare, that geniuses
always are, but the two things which
distinguish American litelature, the short
story and the literary use OF nature, are
purely of American origin and originated
with Washington Irving.
Mrs. John Il. Hilton read selections
from several of the Salmagundi papers,
ard Mrs. Turner read selections from the
sknickerbocker History" and a five mlls-
ute open discussion ensued.
One member thought Irving could not be
truly American because he took no inter-
est in politics, to which someone replied
that politics were not in his line. Another
member thought he was little like Gold
smith, and SO not particularly American,
while still another held 1t was impossible
not to inbibe English ideas from English
writer's. One bright woman held that the
feature in his .'Knickerbocker History, :
where he described the Indians taking to
their heels and the women coming down
to meet them was distinctively American.
Those women. she thought, belonged 10
woman's club.
The question of Irvings national inspir-
alton, however, was no. nearer settled Dy
The cllrD women than by Lowell. With
them also he was simply Irving.

headquarters were opened this morning
in the Hotel Washington in Jersey City.
Though the committee secured rooms
Nos. l and yesterday, there was nothing
done until this morning. Secretary
William Devereux was on hand bright
and tarIy and soon had things running
smoothly OF course, all the effort was
toward getting started There were desks
to be put in, clerks to hire and campaign
literature to get up and, with character
istic thoroughness, Mr.. Devereux started
all these going at once. Interviews with
applicants for clerkships were interrupted
to communicate with leaders throughout
the State or to receive and place new
desk every little while. Mr.. Devereux
was busy:
ssOh, yes, we are started at last, and we
have winning streak this time, sure
he said to a reporter. Though he was
the only one in the rooms, the place had
an air of hustle and hustle.
tI am just going to begin on Mr.. Sey-
mour's itinerary now. No, can't tell
you how it will be fixed up because must
make some arrangements with the county
leaders through the State Mr.. Seymour
is in Mount Holly today. The next move
will be made in Newton, Sussex, on Mon
day, and it is likely he will go some place
in Warren County the same night Thar
will depend on Mr.. Cornish's arrange
ments..
sThe campaign win be short and sharp
and we are sure to win We are all very
happy over the outlook. Chairman Gour-
ley is more than pleased with the hatter-
ing receptions given Mr.. Seymour every
place he has appeared so far"
ssWhat is the situation in Essex
.sThe outlook is very bright and en-
couraging. All hands are in the hight
to win. The Democracy Of Essex is unit
ed. Those who made the fight in the
convention see that the party is for Sey-
mour and they are all hustling for his
election We will carry Essex.
when will Mr.. Seymour come to Hud-
son?''
1--WE have not yet decided that. It is
question for the local leaders to de-
eide. Mr.. Seymour will come here when
those in charge of the local campaign
think it is best. Perhaps in the latter
part of the campaign.
.sThe committee will hold a meeting
Saturday at noon here. Several impor-
tant matters will be arranged, but cam
not tell you the nature Of them
when will Mr. Gourley come to take
charger

day hereafter.
The plans thus far decided include the

Carey arose. Just as great public ora
tors do he waited until every eye was on
him and all talk had ceased. With his
chest thrown out, his right foot advanced,
his head back and the proper serious
frown on his face he began to praise the
party to which he now belongs and berate

them and even under certain circum-

admitted that there were some good

the Republican feshpots, Mr.. Carey with
out any trace of humor, and in dead SER

Thinking men are leaving the Demo-

Then he suggested that the Republican

GULFPORT.

The Town site Purchased by j. T. Jones.
Gulfport, Miss. March SIS. S. Bull
lis, general manager of the Gulf and
Ship Island Railroad, announces to-
night the purchase of the Gulfport
town site from John Bryant by j. T.
Jones, president of the Gulf and Ship
Island Railroad Company. This is the
best thing that has ever happened for
the future of Gulfport, as it insures a
direct interest in the town, which
heretofore they have not had. Excite
ment is running high and values of
property have nearly doubled. Gen
eral Manager Bulls also announced
that the company would not stop at
the depth contracted for with the gov
eminent, but would put the channel
here to the depth of % feet. Arrange
ments are being made to put some OF
the most powerful dredges to work
Immediately on the channel and the
work will be pushed night and day
until completed. This, undoubtedly,
will make Gulfport the best town in
Mississippi. Town lots are in big de-
mand, and it is freely predicted that
Gulfport will have double her pres,
ent population inside of six months.
New enterprises are being talked of
and builders will be in big demand.

Vernon Smith, Superintendent Union Hail
Sunday School.

vernon Smith, Superintendent Union Hall
Sunday School.
The shadow of Death has fallen upon
Union Hall Sunday School, For ten
or twelve years past our deceased
friend and brother, Vernon Smith, has
served as superintendent. So faith
fully and cheerfully did he bear his
responsibilities, and perform his du-
ties, that he deserves a tribute from
those who we're the beneficiaries of his
spiritual wealth and Christian care.
If he was pillar in the church, he was
a High Priest in the Sabbath School,
and through his influence many were
the sacrifices of love laid upon the
altar of Christ. The school is incom-
plete without him; link that bound
US is broken; the light that came with
his assuring presence has become a
shadow. Behind this cloud, older
ones, perhaps, can see the silver lining;
but the little ones who loved him and
who miss him so sorely from his &C
customed place, will long wonder why
he has gone out from among them and
fail to understand. But his memory
will be cherished, until beyond the
sands, beyond the seas, beyond the
range of eyes like these" we shall all
assemble with praise and thanksgiving
"where congregations ne'er break up
and Sabbaths never end"
Our tenderest sympathy goes out to
the stricken family, and we believe
that "some day, some time the prayers
of the devoted and consecrated father
will be answered, and that his wife, his
daughter, his six sons, together with
the little ones gone before, will all par
take of the Heavenly inheritance.
