IBoston Transcript.1

Mrs. LivermoTe was, without doubt, the
foremost woman in America. In fact
there are many who do not hesitate to
call her one of the greatest women the
world has ever known. This they claim
by reason of her complete domestic life,
her executive ability, her eloquence in the
pulpit and platform, her exceptional sue
cess in the cause of temperance, her ac-
complishments for humanity in the crises
of the civil war, and her almost astound-
ing power as a writer on every subject
wlich meant more breadth OF mind wider
outlook and the uplifting of the human
race.
II ever a woman was sent into the
world with a divine commission that one
was Mrs. Livermore.
Brought up in Baptist home, she be-
came Universalist through the influence
of the man who won her love, and it was
for that denomination she performed a
missionary work for which it must for
ever be indebted. The Unitarians claimed
her too. but she placed more emphasis on
an unselfish, helpful life than in sect or
creed. She was believer in nationalism,
and often spoke OF socialism, as expended
in America, as applied Christianity"

Mrs. Mary A. Llvermore.
[sprlngfeld Republican.l


Mary Ashton Livermore was one
of the extraordinary women of the last
century, and vital and compelling force
In many worthy and necessary cause OF
service and reform. She had an execu-
tive faculty that was unsurpassed, where
ever 1t was exercised, and that faculty
was based upon the keenest and strongest
Of ethical perceptions, which were the core
Of her being. The right thing to do, the
right way to do it, were fairly stimuli
taneous in her wonderful brain. Her
emotions, her impulses, her principles,
her purposes, never halted indecisive for
moment She was master Of herself
and of the forces that she desired to use.
whether 1t were the moral outrage OF
slavery, the gross and destructive evil OF
intemperance the obstacles of efficiency
in the relief work of the civil war; or the
ages of prejudice which stood like a
wall against the freedom of women,
Mrs Livermore faced them all with an
absolute assurance of her convictions and
all the courage of those convictions. She
possessed, moreover, the gift rare in a
woman, and not so common among men,
OF an impressive and noble oratory. Elo-
quence that matched her profound feeling
and her clear intellect, that marshaled
reason to the sustainment of principle,
and that never passed beyond the bounds
of dignity or for a moment weakened its
appeal by small intrusions,-this was
hers And she wrote as nobly and effec-
lively as she spoke. Many as were her
lectures, considerable as were her writ
ings, the power Of Mary Livermore was
in her great personality. 1t is often said
that no woman could be president of the
United States, for lack of various adapta-
tion and breadth of view, of vigor married
to tact. But Mrs. Livermore's qualities
were statesmanlike; she was natively a
ruler of minds, and she impressed all who
met her. of whatever place, with a force
lat grew out Of a great character. She
could have adorned and magnifed the
highest position.

vermont's Judqes.

That the Vermont judiciary still stands
well abroad Is evident from the language
of Simon Fleischman of the Buffalo, IN.
" bar. In the opening paragraph of a
paper read by him before the New York
State Bar association at Albany recently
upon the Influence of the bar in the
selection of judges he touched upon
Vermont judges and the manner of their
election as follows:
Reports and opinions from leading
the general conclusion that the character
and ability Of the bench are governed,
practically, by the tone and demands of
the average public sentiment in a given
locality, rather than by the particular
system through which such sentiment as
serts itself. This is forcibly illustrated
in Vermont, where, probably, the worst
system Of selecting judges prevails, not
outstanding which fact the judiciary is
one Of the most satisfactory in the coun-
try. Judges are there elected by joint
vote of the two houses of the legisla-
ture every two years. thus apparently
Offering every temptation for political
manoeuvering on the part of the would
be candidates and of favoritism on the
part of the judges in office for furthering
their reelection. 1t is found, however,
that public opinion has long since taken
firm stand, so that, practically, judges,
as a matter of course, are reelected
from term to term during life"
A girl is never satisfied until the right
man comes along and says the right thing

stocks under the brilliant leadership of
Hoadley caused general activity in the
whole stock market, and as one great
banker said today.
"Hoadley has demonstrated a financial
power and strength which few of Z had
realized, for his control of the southern
iron situation and his influence on the
stock market makes him today the CEN
tral figure in the whole situation"
In view of the position which Hoadley
is now recognized as holding in the finan-
cial world, which his friends have long
realized, this was rightfu1y stated 1t is
gratifying that his energy and capital are
to concentrated in the broadest develop
ment of the south.

that the Tennessee Coal Iron and Rail-

ATTORNEY KILLED
In A COURT HOUSE

CHANCELLOR OF KNIGHTS OF
PYTHIAs FOR TEXAS.

Dallas, Texas. April 3.-Frank j. Bell,
prominent attorney of this city, and

thias of Texas, was shot today by r.
r. Parker. chief deputy district clerk.
Bell died this afternoon at a local hos
pital.
The shooting occurred at the district
clerks office in the court house and was
the result of a previous quarrel over fees.
Parker was seated at his desk when Bell
entered and spoke to him. Two shots
were fired. both bulelts reaching their
mark, one passing through the left side
of Bells neck an dthe other entering his
left breast In the region of the heart.
Bell sank into a chair and was later
removed In an ambulance. Parker await
ed the arrival of the sheriff and was

BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, April 3.--(Special.) Further
conferences were held this afternoon and
evening In relation to the southern iron
merger. and the terms of consolidation
and purchase have been practically agreed
upon. One of the interested paT lies saie
tonight that there were twenty chances to
one that the deal would be successfully
put through. Until that one chance can be
turned to certainty. the condition will
not be given to the public, is the an
nouncement. There have been toe many
premature disclosures already, and several
times negotiations have been jeopardized
on that account.
It can be stated, however that an offer
of the southern properties of the Republic
Iron company was submitted this after
noon, and virtually accepted, subject to
approval at a later meeting.
Mr.. Hoadley has agreed in the interest
of harmony to efface his personality from
official reorganization in the completed
deal, and that concession on his part has
gone a long way to smooth the wounded
dignity of the Woodward party.
The jump of points IN Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad touay was largely
due to the efforts Of shorts to cover, and
to the bulling of parties who had sold
stock to Hoadley, which they could not
deliver He has this unsettled bunch OF
contracts practically cornered, and IL he
insists on the actual shares The gentlemen
in the gap may yet have to do some grand
and lofty climbing for the certificates.
