LABOUCHERE ARRAIGNS
THE AMERICAN WON AN
English Editor Vents His cynicism on
the Kind He Observes in Europe.

Henry Labouchere, the English editor,
statesman and litterateur has been TAX
ing deep interest of late in the Ameri-
can woman, who is so much in evidence
all over EIIope. That he approves of
her in general and particular is a graft
flying fact to those who know the cynic-
ism with which the eccentric writer gen.
orally views his fellow mortals. Accord
ing to "Labby'" she has undoubtedly
made a success. He considers her gen
orally pretty, generally clever, generally
ready to take pains to please those she
considers worth pleasing With his
usual unsparing touch of cynicism he
adds that ''she has that instinct for the
class above which only they have who
belong to the class below and that to
use an expression employed by M. Taine,
''she stands with shouldered arms and
feels herself on parade" Nevertheless
he admits she is the fashion. Marriage
has advanced her to exalted positions;
favor has been accorded her by royalty
Continuing, Mr.. Labouchefe discusses
the American woman in the character of
wife and mother and makes against her
the terrible charge that society is the
end-all of her existence, and that since
she has obtained a foothold in England
IT. has degenerated from polite pleasure
into profession. There is now, he

against the hapless american woman to
scold about the omnipresent reporter
who, if We are to judge from what he
says, is quite as enterprising in his news
gathering over in the mother country
as here. America must be content to
shoulder the blame on his account for
she undoubtedly taught enterprise to the
stolid conservatism of the English press.
The domestic virtues of the American
woman Mr. Labouchere sums up in the
one statement that she is tolerant and ex
There seems to be no answer to all
this. 1t is difficult for the women of
America to see themselves as others see
them. We must rest content with the
conviction that there must be some SUI
perlative excellence somewhere to at
tract SO much comment and unwilling
praise.

BLOOD POISON

(Syphilitic) is an imperious and
cruel master. 1t heeds not the
voice of prayer, nor the cry of
agony. The cabin and the pal
ace echo it's dismal tread, the
peasant and the king fall at its
whitening touch. Syphilitic
blood poisoning is transmitted to
the third and fourth generations,
and the sins of the parents are
visited upon the children. 1t

A Queer Paper Weiqht.

One of the most remarkable objects
in the American historical collection
which occupies the front hall of the
National museum is the paper weight
of Prof. Henry, for many years secre-
tary of the Smithsonian institution. 1t
is triangular prism of clear, tanspar-
ent glass, about six inches in height.
Into the edge, or sharp back of the
triangle, the skillful workman who
turned out this singular paper weight
carved a series of grooves and hollows
which appear absolutely meaningless
when viewed from the side, but when
looked at through the broad surface
of the front prism resolve themselves
into a beautiful Etruscan vase.
In reality there exists only one side

SOLDIERS KILLED IN WRECK.
Tour of the King of Italy saddened by
a Railway Calamity.

ROME, Aug. 2S.-A disastrous rail-
way accident has cut short the festivi-
ties and demonstration in honor of the
king and queen at Udine, where the
sovereigns had gone to view the grand
army maneuvers. Last night a train
overfowing with soldiers collided with
a freight train. The force Of the collt-
sion was terrific.
Those on board were thrown in all
directions and the coaches were broken
up. Nineteen soldiers and one captain
were killed and eight injured, twelve
dangerously. The colonel in command
of the soldiers and five other officers
were among the injured. A captains
head was cut off and an engine driver
was burned alive. Both locomotives
were destroyed and several of the cars
were crushed. King Emmanuel visited
the hospital in person later to see the
victims of the accident

CHAMBERLAIN PLAN
Duties on Various Articles
With View to Reciprocity.

LONDON, Aug. 2s.-The Daily. Mail

A duty of to shillings on wheat
and a heavier duty on flour; small du-
ties on meat, eggs and dairy produce
and equivalent revisions of duty on

ing reciprocity treaties with foreign
nations the proceeds of these duties to
be devoted to a relief of income tax
or further remissions of the duties on
tea, sugar and tobacco.

An English military author, a short

five great Generals in the last two
hundred years, and rated them thus;
Marlborough, Washington, Yelling
ton, Lee and Jackson. We are not
certain as to whether they were in
tentionally named chronologically
or In order OF military ability, but
probably the former. Anyhow, 1t is
a matter Of pride that three Of
the five are not only Americans, but

The anomaly Of a musical discord
comes to us from Berlin. In thegreas
Wagner banquet there Thursday
night, one Of the soloists refused to
sing because the banquet was held IN
a musical hall; Stallman Kelly, who
was TO represent the United States,
refused TO attend because the or
chestra could not play the Chinese
airs to his opera Aladdin, and the
representatives OF Great Britain and
Norway withdrew without assigning
any reasons. All of which shows
that musicians are sensitive and

THE PURE ELECTION LAW UP
HELD

The result OF the primary election
IN Henrico county for candidates for
local Offices did not suit all the can
didates, especially those who were not
Successful. This gave rise to pro-
tests and charges Of the violation OF
the pure election law in giving money
and using whiskey to influence
votes. These charges were made TO
the Democratic Committee in charge
OF the primary who determined to
thoroughly investigate the matter
and do their whole duty in the prem
ises, and right well they did 1t.
Mr.. Brauer, who was the success
full candidate for county treasurer,
was charged with using both money
and drinks to carry his election, and
the charges were fully sustained by
the evidence submitted before the
committee, and the certificate de-
claring Mr.. Brauer the nominee was
withheld. In other words Mr.. Brauer
had forfeited his election under the
Barksdale pure election law by using
money and whiskey to influence
voters during the campaign.
Now Mr.. Brauer Is as much dissat-
isfed with this decision as his op'
ponents we're with she result OF the
primary and will carry the matter to
the State Committee for It's action,
declaring that the present Henilco
committee has no jurisdiction over
the returns OF the primary. MIR.
Brauer also intimates that II the de.
cision OF the State Committee is not
favorable to him he will go into the
courts.
The Henrico committee is TO be
congratulated on their frmness and
impartiallty in the management oil
this case. 1t is the first one to be ill.,
vestigated under the pure election
laws and all eyes were turned to them
waiting for the result. 1t was feared
by many that the violations OF the
law, II IL really was violated, would
be winked at, the result declared and
the guilty parties would receive their
certificate just as though no law had
been violated. But the hopes OF the
law-abiding people were fully met by
the committee, the law was upheld
and those who would debauch voters
were turned down. All honor to the
committee for It's noble action.
