Rev. Olympia Browns career, in and
out of the ministry, has been an emf
nently successful one, that, too, chiefly
owing to her own indomitable pluck and
perseverance. Long ago, a girl at An
ticch college in Ohio, she decided that
preaching was her calling. In the be-
ginning she was not exceptionally gift
ed as a speaker, but she determined to
acquire power. Horace Mann, the
founder of Antioch college, was bitterly
opposed to women speaking in public,
though he permitted them to be gradu
ated. His stand in the matter infiu
enced the college faculty even after his
death. The powers decided that in

ates might read papers at commence
ment, but might not look their audi
enee in the eyes and speak their
theses.
Miss Brown said nothing. 1t was
part of her creed that women as we'll

of read before folk if they wish to. She
did decidedly wish to. She carefully

But I seem to have wandered from
my subject. After mentioning the new
hair ornaments l meant to have come
to the subject Of hats. You must fix
your hair in certain manner to be
able to wear the new spring models
They are all designed for the low coil
which hairdressers are doing their best
to make us adopt; consequently the
brims flare in front and fit very closely
in the back. Nearly all have dropping
bows and sprays of flowers. This is to
be a flower season. Exquisite flower
hats are shown on every hand Many
of these will be worn for Easter. They
are for the greater part in the shape of
wreaths trimmed With loose twists of
ribbon, with the inevitable ribbon bow
in the back.
Just about this time of the year,
when it is a little too early for spring
millinery and a little too late to invest
in any more velvet hats. the clever girl

Under the mistaken impression that as
students they were entitled to full stu

learning to swim, two hours in each
week, in the tank of the college gym
This of itself was an invasion so unen-

that the students of this .'put upon

wide.
But when they came to think of it the

men had seized on masculine privileges
yet further and attacked the boys in
that most vulnerable part of man, the
stomach. While they had slumberee

sneakiness and treachery of the female
disposition. had stolen in on the sacred

Washington, May An pursuance
Of the resolution adopted by the
House yesterday, public memorial
services were held over the remains
Of the late Amos J. Cummings of New
York in the Hall Of Representatives
this afternoon. Only twice before in
recent years has such an unusual
honor been accorded to deceased
Representative, those occasions being
the state funerals of Representative
William D. Kelley of Pennsylvania
and Representative Nelson Dingley OF
Maine.
The exercises today were very i'm
pressive. Almost the entire member
ship of the House and Senate was
present. and the galleries were entire
ly inadequate to hold the thousands
who went to the Capitol seeking ad-
mission. The casket was brought
into the hall by the Capitol police.
escorted by the committee appointed
by the two houses of Congress, acting
as honorary pall-bearers, and placed
on bier below the Speakers rostrum,
where it rested during the services.
The remains of Mr.. Cummings, ac-
companied by the committee of the
two houses, were taken to New York
tonight.

New York, May 4.-Saturday's Eu-
ropean mails brought from Richard
Croker letters to Tammany leaders Of
the old guard. Whether it was as a
result or merely coincidence, sew
eral conferences were held today.
After one of these the announce
ment was made that Mr.. Croker will
return to New York late in August.
No attempt was made to conceal his
intention Of taking back the leader
ship, at least in effect.
He is said to be greatly dissatisfied
with the manner in which Tammany's
affairs have been administered. He
believes that mistakes of the opposi-
tion have not been profited by as they
should have been, and he is disgusted
that his orders have not been obeyed.
