Experiences Of a Woman Lecturer.

No public speaker shodld ever apol.
ogize for anything but a cold. and
that is so apparent that it cannot be
helped by an apology. To apologize
for the subject or the way 1t is treated
Gas | have heard done) is not only
foolish but directly harmful to the
effect of the lecture. And should it be
necessary to apologize for being late,
the briefest explanation only should
be offered. Naturally lecturer must
endeavor not to be late, but accidents
to cars, etc, cannot always be es-
capped. Once in Brooklyn a blizzard
had stopped the cars SD that connec-
tions necessary for me to make were
impossible. Nor could a cab be found;
there was nothing to do but wait, and
on cold corner; the audience in the
hall waited three-quarters Of an hour.
Not long ago, when staging through
the Redwoods Of California, from the
coast to an inland town, where | was
due on tae platform at o'clock, a de-
lay occurred far up the mountain. 1t
seemed impossible to reach the town
in season, but furious driving on the
down grade, with gasplng passengers
holding on for safety, finally landed
me at my destination, dust-covered
and breathless, at quarter to eight.
That audience had to wait Is minutes
for me to remove some of the dust
and be able to speak, and so great
had been the effect on the eyes of the
jolting drive that when the platform
was reached could see nothing
straight; it would have been impos'
ible to speak from notes These acci'
dents prove that one must be pre-
pared for any emergency. Wet or dry
though the weather be, an engage
ment must be kept, and only once
have I known a storm to be too severe
to prevent the assembling of an audi

FIRE ON THE MANHATTAN.
Damage to Steamers Cargo Not Yet
 Ascertained.


 Charleston. s. C.. Jan. 27.-The British steamer Manhattan. New Orleans to Bremen, came into this port with cargo afire early to-day. She has a cargo of 10000 square bales, 7C00 round bales, many hundred tons of cotton seed meal and a large quantity of cypress logs. She draws 2 feet and passed through the jetties with ease. A board of survey was held unuer direc- ton of the Lloyds agent. but it will be several days before the extent of the fire and loss can be ascertained.
 When the fire was discovered on the 9assel yesterday, a number of bales of cotton on the top deck were jettisOned, but the removal of the cotton cargo was not begun to-day because of the neces- sity of first getting out the big logs on top of the cotton. It is thought that the fife is confined to the shelter cargo deck, but this will not be known posi- tive.y until an examination shall have been made.
