A Tribute to Woman.

"By bride or by fiattery, by fear or
by exhaustion the spirit of the best
of men has been bent or broken, but
the spirit of woman, never And where
in great endeavor she has erred it was
because of the extreme to which she
was led by the intensity of her devo-
ton. Behold the personal experience
of Jesus with men and with women!
Judas betrayed. Peter denied, Thomas
doubted, and the disciples slept when
they should have watched in the gar
den of Gethsemane: but no woman
failed in her loyalty or tagged in her
vigilance; and if Saphira was false as
to her wealth it was to be true to
Ananias, whom she was pledged to
love. honor and obey.
1T is in that same cause that the
valiant and magnanimous order of
knights Templar is enlisted. Our or
der is avowedly founded on the Chris
tan religion and the practice of the
Christian virtues. We can we'll afford
to adopt this high ideal without abat-
ing one jot or title of the manly at
tributes pertaining to the order Jesus
was above all things manly, and was
observant of the principles, rules and
conventionalities, which form the basic
structure of human society. 1t may be
said of Him as has already been said
of the passion cross: His greatness and
glory were of the earth, earthly, as we'll
as spiritual and divine. He was man
and God in one. Why relegate the
treatment of such a Supreme Being ex-
clusively to the priestly office and ex-
clusively to the divine attributes of
His being? May not the layman, may
not the Knight Templar, while wor-
Shipping him as a deity pay tribute to
his wondrous qualities as man?

accomplished by many immediate re-
suits, the least purposed or anticipated.
A knightly Order.
This new spirit and new character
that illumined and strengthened Chris
tan civilization, and which had
their development in Knight
Templarism, survived the cru
sades and found manifestation in
the chivalry of the succeeding period.
We may well pass aside the train of
thought, which usually ascribes to the
age of chivalry the Christian influences
which unified woman and emancipat-
ed her from the secondary considera-
ton in which we are pleased to say
she was held in the heather world.
Nor need we emphasize the gratitude
woman owes to Christianity for her
present high estate. If there be an
everlasting and increasing debt of
gratitude it is of Christianity to wo-
man, measured by whatever period in
its history, from the coming of Christ,
through the dark ages of persecution,
drought the revival and regeneration
of the Middle Ages, down to this good
day.
Never was there good or great
cause, affecting the we'll being of hui
mankind but that woman has contrib
uted more than her share to its prog
ress and success. Constancy unfail-
ing, singleness of purpose and heroism
unyielding are idealized in womanly
che racteristics. If she ever forsook a
cause, II was because her heart and
soul were never in 1t. II she
lever swerved from her appar-
ent purpose, it was because
it was never clearly sighted.
Once her heart and soul enlisted, once
clearly discerned the ultimate purpose
of her striving, never in the history
of mankind has she failed
to exemplify a heroism fully
commensurate to the nights and
depths of sublimity demanded by the
cause or the occasion.

ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.

New Castle, March 14.--The first
shad of the season was caught yes
terday in a seine net by BENJAMIN
Smith, Of Chester. He had his seine
out for some trme fishing opposite
the Hamburg farm for small fish and
! when he pulled it aboard he was sur
prised that a toothsome shad was
in the net.
The factories are slow this Sc ason
in supplying the nets on account OF
the big Patterson, N. j., fire where
the Irvine is manufactured. Johu T.
Stops received his consignment of
hip gum boots for the shad fisher
men yesterday. A peculiar thing
about the boots according to John +
Shearel is that they sell at $3.50 and
the boots made by the Trust retail
at $3.50. A number of fishermen in
discussing rubber boots last night
said that they at one time paid as
high as S12 for such boots. 1t is
strange, yet true, that gum boots
furnished by the same parties do not
wear alike Some persons give one
reason and Others disagree with the
theory advanced.

said. '"The men would go out to the
saloons and street corners and find
men that had money. They'd bring
them to my house, and and the other
woman would give them beer with

would either beat them UP there and

GOVERNOR CRANE.

met representatives of various mercan
tile bodies of the city, the officials OF
the various railroads and Mayor Col
Inns, when free interchange of ideas
was had for more than three hours.
! Governor Crane, although not pres
ent at this meeting personally, had 9
representative in attendance and was
kept III close touch with all its pro
ceedings, in which lie manifested the
| greatest interest.
The outcome Of this meeting was the
appointment of committee of seven
to devise some plan that might be m,l-
tually agreed upon as basis of settle.
ment in consultation with Governor
Crane. This committee then waited
upon the governor in his private office,
where they We're closeted for two
hours. Meantime a large number of
labor leaders had arrived ut the state
house, and they went into conference
in the council chamber, which adjoins
the office of the governor
The door between the rooms was
open Il good part of the time. and there
was general exchange of ideas and
propositions between the two dclibera-
tive bodies. Every one was given an
opportunity to express his opinion and
while there was unanimity Of senti-
mcnt that everything possible should
be done to bring the strike to quick
termination there was diversity of
views as to how this much desired end
could be attained.
Governor Crane, while impressing
npon those present the fact that lie had
absolutely 10 authority to make pledges
for any of the interested parties, made
the following proposition:
eff the strike is declared off and
those of the men who can will return
to their work, l will, as governor of
the commonwealth. use my best efforts
with the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad to have them adopt
rules that will be in conformity with
those already adopted by the Boston
and Maine railroad regarding the load
ing and unloading of teams"
The Boston and Maine roads rule
is that freight handlers are not re-
Quired to go upon trucks of forward
ing concerns and assist in unloading
freight.
The governor further agreed to see
the officials Of the Boston and Maine,
Boston and Albany and New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroads
and the various steamship lines and
urge them to reinstate as many men
as they possibly can.
Governor Crane impressed every one
present with his deep interest in the
matter, and it was largely through his
influence that the representatives of
labor present unanimously agreed TO
to their various unions that !
the strike be declared off and that ev- |
cry man now on strike return to work
today.
This decision was received with in
tense satisfaction by I'LL who had par
licipated in the conference.
When the conference with the gov
ernor ended nothing remained for the
except to make its report
to the meeting in the board of arbtra-
lion rooms which had delegated it, and
after the report had been adopted the
meeting dissolved.
