WOMEN WRITER'S.
None Among Them Hns Ever Attain

None Among Them Hns Ever Attain
ed Real Greatness In Poetry.
Though the quality and range of her
genius were deep, generous and wide,
Elizabeth Barrett Browning cannot be
described, if language is to be used &C.
curately, as occupying place among
the poets justly designated great.
In no tongue hitherto has any female
writer attained to that supreme posi-
ton, and were this the appropriate mo-
ment, which it is not, 1t would perhaps
be possible to explain why no woman
is likely ever to do so. Not few fe-
male writer's are in effect in the front
rank of novelists. But prose-romance
is one thing and poetry quite another,
and there is chasm between them;
nor does the circumstance Of novels be-
ing in this age more. popular than po-
etry affect in any degree the inherent
and immutable difference. Elizabeth
Barrett Browning was, "Aurora Leigh"
notwithstanding, essentially and al
most exclusively lyrical poet. 1t
would be easy to add almost indefinite
~ to illustrations Of her being one of
those who 'learn in suffering what
they teach in song" not one of the
greater poets who pass through that
experience but end by getting beyond
it.-Alfred Austin at dwelling of a
Bust of Mrs. Browning.

Stood In Three Counties,

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-THE mar
riage of Miss Sarah Adams of Brook
haven, Miss, daughter of a Methodist
minister, to Aubrey Toler of Gloster,
Miss, shows some of the absurdities
of the cross-country yellow-fever
quarantines of Mississippi
The marriage took place near Au-
burn, where the counties of Pike, Amite
and Lincoln meet.
AS these counties have quarantines
against each other, it was impossible
for the bridegroom to come to Brook
haven for his bride, and impossible for
her to have her parents attend the
wedding at Gloster.
All these difficulties were overcome
by having the ceremony at the county
lines. The bridegroom stood in Amite
county, the bride in Lincoln county
and the minister in Pike county.

He is the guest here Of the leading

the acquisition and retention Of the
Philippines. This visit, made to
study conditions there has not
changed my views in the least. How
ever, as long as the secretary of war
and the president are determined to
hold the islands, will do what I can
to benefit the islanders. Grating will
prevail in the islands despite the non-

ency of Governor Mickey was exer-

a convict at the Nebraska penitentiary,
after he had served fourteen months Of
three-year sentence On the charge
of purse snatching.
Convincing representations were
made to the governor that he mad
pleaded guilty at his trial in order to
shield his mother from the suspicion
of being implicated in the theft of the
purse. Before issuing the pardon,
Governor Mickey ordered the prison
warden to send the young man to the
executive office in the capitol. There
the governor gave Bailey a present
of money, urging him to adhere close
ly to his resolve to lead correct life
and regretting the general tendency
to overlook crime in high places. The
governor said:
Even if you were guilty, I think
YOU have suffered sufficient punish
ment. 1t has become a dangerous
practice to catch the little offenders

CIew to BURGLARY.

OAKLAND, Cal, Oct. 17-What Is
believed to be the clue to a postof1ce
burglary that occurred fifty-two years
ago in Alameda county was discovered
today by workmen engaged in de-
molishing an old building in East Oak
land. In 1853 the building was occu-
pied by the Clinton postoffice and an
express office. In December Of that
year burglars robbed both offices, TAX
ing several thousand dollars in gold
slugs. The government mail sacks
were rif1ed and their contents disap-
peared. The thief was never appre-
hended nor was the mail recovered.
Today a moldy bundle Of letters
and papers were found when a wall
of the old building was torn down.
There was draft for 500, addressed
to Francis Stead, from the New Or
leans banking house Of Horace Bean
& CO. 1t is dated Sept. 30, 1853, and
was never paid. The draft was drawn
on Jacob Little & Co., New York.
Other letters, which are only In
mart decipherable, making inquiries
about the California gold fields. were
in the bundle.
