WOMEN AS AUTHORS.
Feminine Traits Can Be Detected in
Literature.

Fem1n1ne TRAITS Can Be Detected in
Literature.
From the London Mail
The correspondence in our columns re-
garding women as authors discloses def
mite objection to distinguishing them as
such from men. It Is argued that since
both men and women write they should be
judged as authors simply, without refer
ence to their sex. In the same way, it is
known that strenuous opposition has been
raised on behalf Of women to the employ
ment of the word ''poetess." I'VE know
what poet isl say the complainants,
''but what Is poetess?' Well, a poetess
is certainly not a pretty word, but its use
is quite defensible.
Nevertheless, it Is certain that women
have from time to time assumed mems
names in order to escape the condemnation
or prejudice which they imagined would
attach to their frank declaration Of sex.
Conspicuous examples are, of course,
George Eliot, George Sand, the Brontes and
in more modern days sundry other Georges.
Why is George the favorite feminine alias?
At the same time these writer's need not
have been SO foolish as to imagine that the
conceal their sex. AS well might the os-
trich conceive that he Is disguised by bury
ing his head in the sand. The fact re-
mains (and is beyond the region of dis
pute) that feminine traits are unmistakable
and cannot be denied. With all it's strong
barbaric qualities, who would take "Wuth-
ering Heights for the work of a man? 1t
Is on another footing, or a plane wholly
distinct for woman Is not undevelope6
man. but DIVERSE and nothing can hide
the fact.
One imagines, however, that few women
are really anxious to do so. If 1t be true
that no woman has written great novel,
or painted a great picture or created any
thing really great (Which is hard saying),
1t Is certainly true that women accomplish
certain forms of work which men cannot
adventure. The impress of sex must abide
on artistic work, particularly literary work.
And after all, why not? And who assumes
feminine work as necessarily inferior?

That was the positive declaration of
w. Bourke Cochran, who has just re-
turned from Ireland and is today more
conversant with affairs in the Emerald
Isle than any other man In America,
a y the New York correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Ledger. Mr.. Cochran
is most optimistic regarding the future
Of Ireland.
Mr.. Cochran, land an era Of prosperity
is about to set in, following the passage
Of the Irish land bill by parliament,
that will put the old sod where it has
belonged for years."
Mr.. Cochran but recently returned
from a long stay in England and Ire
land. The former congressman was

when King Edward himself had intro
duced in the house of commons the
very bill which Mr.. Cochran believes
will prove to be the salvation of the
country. 1t is limited by those who
know that perhaps the strong influence
Of Mr.. Cochran himself on those high
in English counsels might have prompt
ed the king to take the epoch making
step be did.
Speaking enthusiastically, while de-
nying modestly his own share in the
affair, Mr.. Cochran said:
1.-THE passage of the Irish land act in
sures the settlement of the Irish ques-
ton, which has disturbed millions Of
people for scores of years. 1t removes
all reason for refusing to let the native
people settle the conditions of their own
government-and this means that Ire
land will forge rapidly to the front as
a nation even as her people have come
forward through their own inherent
qualities"

VANDERBILT SUES EDITOR.
Alleges That He Was Libeled by ST.
Petersburg Paper.

Cornelius Vanderbilt has instructed
a prominent law firm to bring suit for
libel against the Novosti (newspaper),
whose editor Vanderbilt wants severe
ly punished, says the st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Philadelphia North
American. This is the EDITORS crime:
when Cornelius and his friends Wis
tied st. Petersburg in their yacht"
wrote the newspaper, 1.-THE ladies were
hard up for jewelry. They had not
dared bring their tiaras and other great
jewels to SO barbaric a country as Rus
sia. Yet the ladies did not care to APP
pear without jewelry at a dinner party
given on the yacht to several members
of the st. Petersburg ~aristocracy. So
they made the rounds of the great
jewelers. of the capital, selected a guam
tity of bracelets, earrings, necklaces
and headdresses and had them sent to
the yacht on approval. These borrow
ed plumes they at the dinner and
sent them back next day with their re-
grets."
Vanderbilt denies the story and
wants the Noyosti mar punished for
dbelipg his friends.
