TWAS LIGHTNING SOME.
 - Vivid Scene Witnessed by Passengers of a Steamer.

New York. Aug. 2.-Captain Ward of the steamer Caronia in port from Liv erpool today reports on Sunday last the Caronia passed through the most vio- lent electrical storm he has ever wit messed An iceberg had just passed as the ship headed into the storm. So close was the berg that a polar bear was plainly seen on its edge and the passengers made snapshots of him with cameras Then clouds of inky black ness rose and the temperature already cold from the presence of the berg, fell to 53 degrees while the wind in creased from twenty miles to fifty miles an hour.
 Many passengers remained where they could witness the electrical storm, whose lightning flashes made almost continuous light and temporarily all most blinded the onlookers. The storm broke apparently directly over the Caronia. ..+.r.@

WoMAN's DEGRADED
 POSITION IN INDIA

fOSIAION IN INDIA.
 Recently there has been some discus sion in The New York Tribune as to the position of women in India. Mrs Esk- ins writes of the degraded position oc- cupied by the women of India, and Pro- lessor Iyengar of Columbia University, native of India. takes leave to differ with her on the subject. A writer who signs herself as an American Woman n. ', has the following in an article on the subject
 Will MT. Iyengar, who doubtless rev. erences the sacred texts of his religion, permit me to quote from Max Muiler's translation of them In Sacred Books of the East?"
 Though destitute of virtue or seek ing pleasure elsewhere. or devoid of good qualities, vet husband must con faithful wife.
 If wife obeys her husband she win for that reason be exalted Into heaven.
 Day and night women must be kept in dependence by the males of their families ,o , ,..,.,.o . strength and destitute of the knowledge of Vedic texts, are impure as falsehood itself; that is fixed rule"
 Here Is part of a Hindoo catechism:
 What is cruel?
 d
 What Is more cruelf
 The heart of woman.
 What Is cruelest of all7
 The heart of sonless. penniless widow.
 What is the chief gate to hell?
 Woman.
 Who Is the wisest of the wise?
 He who has not been deceived by women. who may be compared to mallg- nant fends."
 MT Iyengar says, naively: q am positive our women do not consider it a curse" That is. to be born a woman.
 Neither do the Chinese women con- slider their tortured feet curse. Neith- CT did the slaves consider their slavery a curse before our war. They would go gayly out with the bloodhounds to chase down an occasional runaway. Neither did American women consider 1t curse when not high school was open to them on this continent. Pio- neers had to rise to teach them self respect. The curse of slavery is that It enslaves the soul as well as the body.
 Of course, the Indian women recog- nlze no curse in their positions. h. deed, they cherish their Zenana pris- ons as the Chinese women do their crip- pied feet-as mark of gentility
 And yet out of the weltering mass of degraded womanhood of India one wo- man has risen to say that she is not satisfied. Pundita Ramabai, bravest of pioneers, outcasted by her own, has dared to stretch a hand to save the miserable little widows of India. There are 23,000, 900 widows in India, said Ramabai in recent article. one-fourth

Never before have men tried so vast
and formidable an experiment as that
Of administering the affairs of a conti-
nent under the forms of a democratic
republic. The conditions which have
told for our marvellous material we'll
being, which have developed to very
high degree our energy, self-reliance
and individual initiative, have also
brought the care and anxiety insepara-
BILE from the accumulation Of a great
wealth in industrial centers. Upon the
success of our experiment much de-
pends, not only as regards our own
welfare but as regards the welfare Of
! mankind. If we fail, the cause OF free
self government throughout the world
will rock to it's foundations, and there
fore our responsibility is heavy, to our
selves, to the world as it is to-day and
to the generations yet unborn. There
is no good reason why we should fear
the future, but there is every reason
why we should face it seriously, nei-
ther hiding from ourselves the gravity
Of the problems before US, nor fearing
to approach these problems with the
unbending. unflinching purpose to
solve them Alright.
OUR SPLENDID HERITAGE.
Yet, after ALL though the problems
are new, though the tasks set before
us differ from the tasks set before our
fathers, who founded and preserved
this republic, the spirit in which these
tasks must be undertaken and these
problems faced, if our duty is to be
well done, remains essentially un-
changed. We know that self-govern-
ment is difficult We know that no
people needs such high traits of char
acter as that people which seeks to
govern its affairs Alright through the
freely expressed will of the freemen
who compose it. But we have faith
that we shall not prove false to the
mem mories of the men of the mighty
past. They did their work; they left
us the splendid heritage we now en-
joy. We in our turn have an assured
confidence that we shall be able to
leave this heritage unwasted and en-
larged to our children and our chill
cren's children.
ITO do SO we must show, not merely
In great crises, but in the everyday
affairs of life, the qualities of practical
intelligence, of courage, of hardihood
and endurance. and above all the
power of devotion to a lofty ideal,
which made great the men who found
ed this republic in the days of Wash
ington, which made great the men
who preserved this republic in the
days of Abraham Lincoln"
