Marriage for a girl is undoubtedly

requires an education. She must rec
ognize how much depends upon her
health and the health of those COM

on her being a careful manageress Of
her household and of the money put
into her hands for use for the welfare
of others. Above all, she should be
taught that wives and mothers are
made. not born, and no girl should at
tempt to marry without having re-

Every woman wants To Fee graceful
Awkwardness is bcauty's G-eatcsl foe,
and, although its poSsesSor may have
a pretty face, still She is placed mt 4
decided disadvantage. Her lack Of ease
is painfully apparent giving her per-
sonality an incompleteneSs that is far

once said. Grace is more beautiful
than beauty" Beauty is something that
is purely physical while grace is a
combination Of the qualities of tact.
amiability, common sense and refine
ment, all producing charming impress

Pittsburg Observer. The principal quail
fly of grace is good taste. The CONVEX
sation of the woman with the truly cui-
tivated mind WI be naturally easy and
pleasing, for she will avoid incongrui-
ties of speech. The manner and actions
will reveal simplicity and good breed
ing, and her attire will always be in ac-
cordance with her surroundings.

SOME AMERICANS WHO HAVE LEFT
THEIR IMPRESS ON HISTORY.
Full of Years and Honor, Some Are
Resting After LIES Struggle A
Few still Wear the Harness and
Keep In Touch with the World.
OF the brave little company of wo-
men who have labored for the uplifting
OF mankind during the last century but
few are left. but when they are count
ed and their deeds recalled no one will
question their right to the title of
grand old women"
Trained according to the lights of
the earlier years Of the last century,
these grand old women are not EN-
ployed in the pursuits of business. but
they figure in the politics of the time,
influentially, though indirectly. They
are playing large part in philanthro-
py, and certain Of them stand forward
prominently in art and literature.
In the realms of literature the name
of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe comes first.
She is distinctly the grand old woman
of American literature" In age, too,
the venerable poet of patriotism ranks
highest Of all If she lives until the
9th of next May she will be eighty
four
For so many years has Mrs. Howe
been identified with the literary life of
Boston that few know she is native
of New York. Before she was twelve
years old she had begun her writing.
She published essays ut seventeen; but
crcditabe as all her work has been,
her fame rests upon her Battle Hymn
of the Republic" written in 1861.
Susan Il. Anthony, who has stood
prominently forward in the woman
suffrage movement is but few
months the Junior of Mrs. Howe. She
claims Massachusetts MS her birth
place. and ON Feb - next she will be
eightythree.
Miss Anthony experienced in her own
case the commercial inequality be-
tween. the sexes when in her earlier
years She WAS teaching school for Sl5
a month while "a man in the other
school Of the village was receiving $l5.
From that day She has been worker

OBITUARY..


Mrs. James M. Sullivan died yester-
day morning shortly after 9 o'clock at
the residence of Mrs. N. J. Murphy
on Abercorn street. She had been Ill
for some four months, and 1t was
known that her condition was critical.
Her death, nevertheless, was shock
to her many friends and those OF her
husband, who has their sympathy in
the bereavement that has befallen
him.
Mrs. Sullivan was removed not long
since from one of the hospitals where
she had received treatment This was
Intellectual, however, and the malady
which assailed her realized the fears
of her friends and physician. About
two months ago Mrs. Sullivan's infant
passed away, and the death of the
mother. therefore, is an additionally
hard blow for Mr.. Sullivan.
Mrs. Sullivan was Miss Annie Cor
bett of Savannah before her marriage,
which took place about eighteen
months ago She had many friends
as girl, and these deeply regret her
untimely end.
The funeral will take place this aft
ernoon at 5 o'clock from No. 243 Aber-
corn street.

reverse curves and the rules of the
company call for a showdown at this
point. Kemmerling no Doubt
exceeded the prescribed speed, for the
locomotive left the track as soon as it
reached the curve, and after ploughing
across the roadbed, plunged over a go
loot embankment to the Conemaugh
river. The engineer was crushed IN

was so badly injured that death re-

POUNDED WITH FIREWOOD.
Sarah Hamilton Beaten Into Uncon-
scfousness by Lover.

Sarah Hamilton, colored, was beaten
over the head with a stick of firewood
last night, and as a result is in a
serious and even critical condition.
The woman's assailant, George Steph-
ems, was arrested by Detective ]. ].
Murphy, an hour after the crimes
commission, and sent in to the station
house.
The assault was committed in the
house In which both the man and
woman had been living, at 613 Gwinnett
street, west. The man and woman
are said to have been intimate, and
the attack upon her with the stick of
wood was made in a fit of jealous rage
1t is said to have been without prov
ocation. The man and woman ex-
changed angry words. and without
more ado Stephens picked up the stick
from the fireplace and struck her six
or seven blows over the head, each
of them with all the force of power
full arm.
The weapon he used is perhaps two
and a half feet in length and six
inches in circumference. Welded as
it was 1t produced terrible wounds, and
the woman sank to the floor uncon-
scious. 1t was some hours before she
rallied from this condition, and there
is grave fear that her wounds will yet
prove fatal.
The police were notified OF the crime
and Detective Murphy was detailed
10 the arrest of the fugitive. The off,
Ger managed to get on Stephens trail,
aid was not long in running him down
and placing him under arrest, a rela-
lively short distance from the scene Of
the crime.
At the station house the negro could
give no ineligible reason for the as
sault. save that the woman had ex-
hausted his patience. He seemed to
lie perfectly sober, but not particu-
larry concerned about what he had
done.
