OPINION OF AMERICAN WOMAN.
English Writer Holds Her a Danger
Gus Anarchist and Sees Danger
| to Civilization.

American woman is declared to be
a dangerous, abnormal type, in an ar
ticle by H. B. M. Watson, published re-
Gently in Nineteenth Century. From
the writer's point of view, Amer
lean femininity is little better than
a whited sepulcher.
The character of the American wom-
an Of to-day, he says, is product part
ly Of racial modification and partly of
the social conditions of commercial
age We have many opportunities of
studying the American woman, for she
has undertaken to annex as much of
Europe as practicable, and has sue
ceeded very fairly. 1t is considered
by the taste of the day quite credit
able that some pork packers dollars
from Chicago should buy a coronet in
Mayfair.
The American woman is claimed by
her admirers as being independent, but
she is more than that, she is anarch-
ical. The state has been built upon
certain sociological facts as founda-
ton. The American woman is de-
stroying these, and, with them, there
fore, the structure of the state as it
exists now. Evidences that Amer
lean women are deliberately turning
their backs on natural laws have ac-
cumulated of recent years.
1t would seem that while the
American man unnaturally devotes all
his days to money-making, the Amer
lean woman. as unnaturally. deyotes

suitable accommodations that could be
reached and because President Davis
thought that he could direct military
coup which he had planned to the best
advantage from that point.
The president and other government
officials were upon their arrival at Dan
vile carried to the residence of Maj. w.
T. Sutherlin, commandant of the town.
For a week thereafter the Sutherlin
residence was the capitol of the confed-
crate states.
The occupancy of the capitol by the
president and his cabinet members
ceased even more abruptly than it be-
gan. On Monday morning, April 10, in
formation reached Danville of the sur
render OF Lee on the previous day Cir
cumstances made the immediate eva
cuation Of the place necessary. It is a
historic landmark, that old mansion, and
its appearance is in keeping with It's
history. A large, square stone struc-
ture, with wings on both sides, it is set
far back in grounds having a frontage
the width of the entire block 1t looks
at the same time neat. trim and sub
stantial. 1t has an almost human ex-
preston of cold, aristocratic dignity,
however, that cannot fail to impress
even the most casual beholder.

THE suTHERL1N HOME.
Substantial Mansion at DanvilIe, Va.
Which Was Confederacy's
Last Capital.

The recent serious illness of Mrs JET
ferson Davis has had the effect Of Great
ing much interest in the history of the
confederacy. Mrs. Davis is one of very
few now alive who were closely con-
nected with the confederate govern
ment. The history of Danville as seat
of the confederate government, which
is recalled by the mention of Mrs. Davis
name, has a unique interest. On Sum-
day, April 2, 1865, Gen. Lee, in command
of the forces defending Richmond, noti-
fed President Davis that the main line
of his defenses had been broken; that
it would not be judicious for him to at
tempt to longer hold the fertilization
guarding the city and that it would be
advisable for the government to eva
cuate simultaneously with him. The
government, therefore, went south in
the only direction open to it.
The party stopped at Danville because
there were fewer federal troops near

At last the hour drew nigh. High noon
was the eliminating minute. Assem-
bled before the little church door, the
merry crowd was at highest tension in
anticipation. No one would enter UNI
til the bridegroom made his appear
ance. He was to ride his horse in from
the hacienda unaccompanied, custom
of the province. 1t was almost IL
O'Clock, but no Hernandez. The vener-
able Don was there and likewise other
members Of his family, aad still they
waited. The hour passed; Bonita, with
anxious face and all bedecked in bridal
robes, climbed a little mound near by
to look afar. Suddenly she clasped her
hands in joy. In the distance, way out
on the mountain slope, she saw horse
with rider coming and then the crowd
saw and shout went up. Nearer and
nearer it came, but how slow for an i'm
petuous bridegroom!
Soon they could distinguish. It
was Hernandez horse and then they
could see Hernandez himself. But why
did he walk his horse and why in such
deep meditation? 80 &Hf@ Hae
Bonita was the first to reach his side
stretching her hand eagerly up to his.
Suddenly she recoiled with shrek Of
anguish. The horse stopped, the crowd
seemed awe-struck; nobody moved. It
was the old Padre who stepped forward
to the silent rider. One glance told him.
Hernandez was dead. Propped in the
saddle by some Ingenious device the
horse had carried corpse to the we'd
ding.

DAY OF A THOUSAND YEARS.

For a thousand years in Thy sight are
bu: as yesterday when it is past, and as a
watch in the night.'-Psalm xc., IA.
Ard one star calls to another
The full strains of a song
Till the deeps of space glow with its grace
And ehco it full strong;
AID whirling out of the silence
world of worlds appears
In an onward rush through the endless
hush
And a day is a thousand years.
And one star sings to another,
And sun holds speech with sun.
While the drifting veil of vapor pale
Shows another world begun.
But we count time by a dawning
Or mark by a twilight fall
Yet the stars sing out when the years are
gone,
And what are We, after all?
The words and the hopes and doubtings.
The joy and the dreams and dread,
And the puny lives in the puny hives
Where toll Is done for bread;
A day. a night, and another
A round of the spinning ball;
A sigh and smile for the briesest while
And what are We, after all?
And one star calls to another
A song We may not know;
Calls a distant sun to dying sun
AS the ages come and go.
And We mark time by a. minute,
And Groom over smiles and fears
But the stars sing on when the worlds are
gone.
And a day is thousand years.

AGES OF STATESMEN.
The United States Senate Is Getting
Younger Every Year.
Pettus, of Alabama, Now the Only
Member Over Eighty-Biograph-
ical Facts Concerning the
New House.

In spite of all efforts to the contrary,
the United States senate seems to be
growing more youthful. Thirteen years
ago careful computation was made,
from which it appeared that the aver
age age of its members was 60 years.
There were then but eight who were
less than so years old. and one who
was less than IS. To-day the average
age is So years and four months. and in
slightly larger senate there are IA
men instead of eight, who are less
than so, and of these eight are less
than As, according to the Boston Tran
script.
This difference is doubtless due to
the new states which have come into
the union since that time, whose polit-
lcal leaders were naturally younger
men. The Delaware overturn has also
given the senate two youthful men,
bers. It is almost rule that the young
states have young senators.
Only one senator is more than 80,
Mr.. Pettus, the junior senator from
Alabama, who was born in 1921 Four

tween 60 ana 70, and 80 between SO
and 60. The Is who have crossed the
three-score and ten line include both
senators from Alabama and Connecti-
cut, besides Messrs Teller, Allison,
Frye, Hoar, Gibson, Stewart, Platt. OF
New York, Quay, Bate, Proctor and
Cullom.
The new house contains not only a
large representation of new men, but
among them many young men who are
apparently beginning a political career
of great promise. This general youth
fulness is shown by the number Of
western states which are in considera-
bic part represented by native esoqs
Francis N. Eddy, member of the last
congress, was the first man Minnesota
had ever sent to congress who was
born within the limits of that state.
This time another of the nine repre-
sentatives is native Minnesotan, hav-
ing been born there in 1860. OF the
other representatives two were born
in Pennsylvania, one each in Ontario,
Illinois, Massachusetts, Sweden. Ohio,
and Wisconsin. One of the senators was

plextioo, big languorous black eyes and
coral lips like Cupid. When Hernandez
selected her as a conquest he found a
tartar. Perhaps that is why he soon
grew to really love her and offered his
hand in marriage, and Bonita, coquette
that she was really, gave her heart with
her hand. Still with a nature such as
hers she could not forego the oppor-
tunity to trifle with the emotions of the
other sex, and when she found that poor
Jose, common peon, showed signs
OF an honest ardOr, she led him on, until
as climax to her numerous caprice.
she promised to be his wife.
Jose was by no means a weakling,
because he lived SO much Of the time
as 2 tender of sheep on the mountain
side, or fool because he was big, and
brawny and uncouth. Nobody seemed
to consider him seriously, however,
as he had never done anything for
people to fear or revile him. He
never disputed, quarreled or fought;
did nothing but mind his own business,
hence was regarded a simpleton and
coward. His love for Bonita was not
generally known or he would likely
have been made butt of the village
for his presumption, but with all his
dog-like devotion he managed to have
no one understand but his hearts idol.
After the episode in the shade of the
cactus just narrated, Jose was not seen
again in the town. Hernandez and
Bonita told with much humor and gusto
the rich joke on Jose and the towns
people laughed with exceeding glee at
a joke that was joke.
The time for the nuptials of the hap
py pair drew near. The marriage OF the
only son of Don Elzerez del Pho, the
wealthy ranchero of the valley, to q
humble maid, even were she the belle
of the village, was an event, indeed.
Preparations on a scale never before
known were made for the happy occa-

bined their forces with the purpose OF
showing gentleman that it was not |
only the great ones who could do things
right. And the expectant bride, what |

Finally the momentous day arrived. |

SEWS UP A GIRLS HEART.
German Professor Performs Brilliant
Piece of Surgical Work.
Patient Recovering.

Prof Manteuffel, at Deerpat, Ger
many, has performed as remarkable q
heart-stiching operation as was recent
ly achieved in a London hospital.
A girl accidently shot herself in the
breast with revolver. Her heart
ceased to beat and apparently
she was dead. Two hours later Prof.
Manteuffel saw her and felt certain
that although the heart had been
struck, the patient was not dead.
Administering chloroform, he opened
the breast, examined the heart, found
in the flesh at the back hard sub
stance, made. slight cut with knife,
pressed with his fingers, the bullet
dropped out, and the wound was sewed
up. YE
The bullet had almost completely
bored through the heart, but miracu-
lousy had touched no large blood ves-
sci. After several hours the patient re-
gained consciousness and now is pro-
crossing steadily toward recovery.
Prof. Bergman pronounces this one
Of the most brilliant piscss Of surgical

Potato Exp1odes Like Gun.

Potato ExplOde0 Like Gun.
1.-THE report of the explosion was fully
as loud as that of shotgun" is the
statement made by w. A. Routson, Jr.,
of Wooster, O., man who for many
years held a responsible position with
the Pennsylvania lines, in telling of a
peculiar explosion at his home in which
the members of his family were given a
great scare, but escaped injury. The
household had just taken seats for dim
ner Mr.. Routson helped himself to a
large sweet potato, and as it touched his
plate the potato exploded, throwing the
hot meal all over the room and making
such a noise as to cause all about the
table to become terribly frightened.
What caused the potato to explode is q
mystery. One theory is that in ship
ment it came in contact with dynamite,
part of the explosive working inside.

born in Indiana and the other in Nor
way.
California for the first time has four
representatives born in that state, the
Oldest of whom is not yet A, while the
youngest is 81. All the older men Of
the delegation came from the east, one
from Wisconsin, two from New York,
and a fourth from Scotland. Senator
Perkins was born in Maine and Sena-
tor Baird in Pennsylvania. OF the two
senators and the three representatives
from Colorado, which has been a state
since 1876, none was horn there. The
three Idaho Statesmen" were born in
Illinois. Pennsylvania and Indiana re-
spectively.
1t is singular thing that in so old
a community as Iowa, of the IL rep
resentatives and two senator's but
three were born in that state, and one
Of them Mr.. Hedge, of Burlington, re-
lates that he was born in the territory
of Iowa, June "a, 1914. Allison came
from Ohio and Do1liver from West
Virginia. Hull and Hepburn were also
Ohioans. The four representatives and
two senator's of Maine were all born in
that state. In fact, in most Of the old
states, native sons seem : to be pre-
ferred Both Massachusetts senators
and ten of the IA representatives were
born in Massachusetts,
But one representative of Nebraska
was born in that state, Mr.. Hitchcock
of Omaha, and he is but A years cid.
The Nevadans all migrated there, and,
according to the census returns. they
are among the very few who remain.
Both North Dakota senators were born
in Illinois, and of the South Dakota
senators one came from New York and
the other from New Hampshire. Tex
as exhibits among the southern states
the greatest evidence of being a new
community. Neither of its senator's
was born in the state, and but half of
it's representatives. The young state
of Utah has native son in the senate
in the person of Reed Smoot. None of
the representatives or senators of
Wyoming or Washington was born in
the state he now represents. This
shows how much of the country is
still new.
