HENRY JAMES AMERICAN WO-
 MEN.
 I seem to recognize it as one of the commonplaces of journalism, certainly |of American Journalism, that the American woman more and more pre- |sents herself as a great success in the world; and 1t Is evident enough that for a long time she has been abundant ly assured of this. She has had at her service an unequalled system of public |ity--that of the journalism in question, taking the term In its largest sense and not to have been quite at its mercy she must much have yelled her face and stopped her ears. The great agency of her fame has not always treated, and still does not inveterately treat, her with high consideration in particular cases-it may be noted, in truth, over the land as often taking strange lib- critics with her; but at least trumpets, in its brazen voice, from sea to sea- ev- cry motion she makes, every step she takes, every dress she wears, every friend she visits or receives, the color of her hair the number of her gloves, the names of her lap-dogs, the parties to her flirtations and matrimonial en- agreements; and so on from the cradle to the grave This tribute is rendered in virtue of her high importance--in other words of the intensity and inn mensity of her presence, regarded eve rywhere as so promptly effective and triumphant The publicity it is that attests her success, for what is success, at this time of day and in the condi- tlons I refer to- but to be as public as possible? It is the most universal state, then, of the American woman, who enjoys it with fewer restrictions, fewer discrimnations as from Mrs. Brown to Mrs. Smith, let alone from maiden to maiden, in either clan, than her sisters elsewhere under the sun; and if has ended as with practical in vitation to us to swell the appreciatiVe chorus. Goodnaturedly, trrespectively, the vague observer is prone no doubt, to do SO; the last thing he thinks of, that is, is to challenge so seemingly, overwhelming consensus It is borie upon him that if mankind at large has become aoutely conscious of the creature, there must be something "behind" such fact; the creature must somehow explain her remarkable rtune.-Marper's Ba2ar'

FRENcH PoL1TENEss.

It has been said that the French are the most polite people in the world, writes our lady correspondent in San Sebastian, but I do not think any one who really knows them will agree However, they have some charming It, tie ways, and when they are rude 1t is because they are, deep down, thor oughly selfish. My personal opinion Is that the Spaniard is about the most de- Ughtfully polite, person one can possi- bly, encounter.
 If you ask your way In the street, of some ordinary woman, she will almost certainly go out of her way to accom- pany you down the street and to care fully put you on the right road. They are very cheerful and gay, but they are never vulgar, as we understand the word in England Even the men in the streets who stand and frankly stare at a pretty girl do it in a light hearted, pleasant way which does not give of- fence, As to the manners of Spanish men belonging to the best society, they are almost perfect.
 Watch a sspaniard of distinction ad- dress his mother or any elderly lady and you will see a manner which is tender and caresslng, and at the same time exquisitely rotective-London Tribune.

FARTHEST NORTH.
Continued from Page Eleven.)

NCOnunueQ from Ed60 EleFen) who then said they did not expect to hear from Peary until October or No vember. It was explained that his only way Of getting news down from the north was by whaling ships.
 Peary planned to make his head quarters 350 miles north of Cape sa- bine. From that point he intended to make his actual journey to the pole, 8 distance of 800 miles, across a des- sert of ice and snow. This final dash he expected to make in month or six weeks from the time he left headquar- ters.
 Mrs. Robert E. Peary, wife of the commander, has been spending the past summer in Maine.
 In an interview before he left New York Commander Peary expressed great confidence in the success of the venture. He explained that nearly all the men accompanying him were mem- bers of former Arctic expeditions and thoroughly familiar with the work ahead of them. After outlinging his route to his winter quarters Command CT Peary said:
 i've will remain in these quarters until February 1, 1906, and then begin the dash for the pole, about 300 miles In the party who will go with me will be buttwo white men, one a physician. On the trip there will be a sledge for each Esquimeaux, and from six to eight dogs to each sledge. Each of the 1 sledges will have 800 pounds of dog food, ships biscuits and tea. My only instruments vii be a travellers thedo lite, a pocket sextant and chronOm- eter Although am convinced there is no animal life in the country, we will carry two light rifles.
 My garb will be deerskin coat and cap bearskin trousers and sealskin boots This is my ninth trip to the Arctic and barring sickness and other contingencies, I will give the pole the hardest try 1t has ever had yet, I hope to win. There are three strong points in my favor: first, the Rooseyelt-the most powerful Arctic boat ever built; second, my knowledge gained by nine teen years in the Arctic, and third, my knowledge of the Esquimaux and how to handle them
 Asked what good 1t would do if he found the pole, MT, Peary said: Tt will open up three million square miles of absolutely unknown regions that have been separated from the rest of the world for countless ages"
 Robert Edwin Peary was born in 1854 Hes civil engineer in the United States navy His first trip to the Arc tic regions was made in 1886. In Sep tember, 1902, he reached latitude SAY north His wife, Josephine Diebitsch Peary accompanied her husband on three of his expeditions as far as the winter quarters.
 The previous record of the point near est the pole was made by Captain Gag ni of the Duke of Abruzzi's Italian ex- petition, who reached S684 north, or within 237 statute miles of the pole, The point reached by Peary S7.6, places him about 203 miles from the pole.

DOWIE WILL RETIRE.
A Radical Change is Contemplated at
 Zion City.

Chicago, March 22.--A radical change in the affairs of Zion City in- dustries, by which John Alexander Dowie will retire from the manage ment of it's business affairs and all of its manufacturing institutions will be incorporated, was announced last night.
 Heretofore the ownership and con- trol of Zion's business enterprises have been vested solely in Dr Dowie. The change is the result of desire to extricate these interests from pending difficulties. Former Judge Barnes, Zion's legal adviser, made the following explanation regarding the change: ,e5.s, .f
 It was a physical impossibility for the first apostle to attend to all of the details of Zion's business af- fairs. He has changed his plan and hereafter will confine himself almost entirely to ministerial work, leaving the management of Zion's industrial and commercial to his subordinates. !"
 This is Gods plan of solving our difficulties" said Deputy General Ov- erseer Voliva. "As soon as wet get our industries incorporated we will have real Christian cooperation"
 By the incorporation of the vari- ous enterprises the stockholders will assume control through the election of directors. The first institution to be incorporated will be the candy factory, with a capital of $50,000. Zion will own $20.000 of stock and the remainder will be in the hands of individuals.

INSURANCE MEN
 ASKED TO TALK
OLD BOARD OF MUTUAL LIFE
 TRUSTEES THIS TIME.
Reauisition Papers Were Served Upon Them Yesterday-Joseph H. Choate is Back of This
 Movement.

New York, March 22.-It is an- nounced to-day that within the last few days every member of the old board of trustees of the Mutual Life Insurance Co, including all who serv- ed between the dates of January 1, 1900, and December 31, 1905, has been served with requisition for in- formation as drastic as the Mutual's harshest critic could well demand. Joseph H Choate is the author of the requisition and it is said to be is- sued with the unqualified approval of the Truesdale committee and the Mutual's executive administration.
 Among other questions it contains the following:
 Please state whether, while you have been a trustee of the company or engaged in managing it's financial affairs, you have in any manner or form, and If so to what extent ad- vanced your personal fortunes or de- rived any financial advantage other than already stated by you through the exercise of your discretion as trustee, and if so state in and by what transactions and in relation to what other companies and to what financial enterprises you have re- ceived such advantage or advance.
 Had you prior to the fact being brought out before the Armstrong committee any knowledge of contri- buttons having been made from the company's funds to political cam paign funds, whether national, state or other kind, or of the time. amount or purpose of any such payments and to whom paid?"

SLATHROP'S CASE
TWO MORE SUITS WERE INsTI.
 TUTED TO-DAY.
She Asks for Divorce Now and Also Asks for Alimony of
 S15.OOO,

The shafts of the law have again been directed against Edwin U. La throp by his wife. To-day the long expected suits were instituted against him on account of the end ing of the old case in the supreme court few weeks ago. The new cases are more direct in their accu- sations and far more sensational. It was not generally supposed that Mrs Lathrop would sue for divorce, but that is what she has done in one of the two cases brought to-day. The other case is for support.
 In the divorce case she alleges de- sertion, intolerable cruelty and In- fidelity, and she seeks alimony of $15,000.
 In the suit for support she al- leges that her husband has an in- come of a certain amount. in fact, there is nothing new in this suit for it mainly covers all the ground men toned in the last suit. Both are re- turnable to the superior court and will be tried as soon as possible.

ODOR OF ROASTED CANINE IN THE AIR
THE POLICE OFFICIALS HAD TO
 HOLD THEIR NOSES.
Dead Dog. Which Was Sent to the Happy Hunting Grounds. Was Slowly Toasting to a Crisp
 Brown in Bed of Ashes.

There was much excitement at the police station yesterday and for a while it looked as if it would have necessary to fumigate the building. But it was finally decided to open all doors and windows and after plenty Of fresh air permeated the building the trouble subsided. Officer Me- Carthy shot dog in the cellar. 1t happened that the carcass of the ca nine fell in some hot ashes and colii- meneed to burn. Major Ramon, who was upstairs at the desk wondered where the odor was coming fromeand soon had Terry" Lynch doing detec- tive work to see what was the matter with the atmosphere.
 Terry was instantly at work and in short time he discovered that the cellar was being used for crematoiy. He abated the nuisance but for some time the stench was very much in evi- denee at the station. Some one was on the verge of calling up the sanitary inspector but 1t was finally decided that he would not be needed.
 It looks as if the canines would be compelled to keep their muzzles on longer than it was first intended, al- though Doorman Lynch of the police station says that he shot more CUTS before the order went into effect than he has since. He asserts that he kills about 75 dogs every summer Officers Dodds and Mccarthy are still doing the chase act and are making business good for the city court.

CAPOBIANCO SON
 THESTAND TO-DAY.
MAN WHO IS NOW AWAITING
 THE DEATH SENTENCE.
He Told the Whole Story of the Shooting and Put the Blame for It on Perriello-Capobianco
 Is Closely Guarded.

Ciriaco Capobianco, who is stand ing in the shadow of the gallows for the murder of his countryman, An gelo Solomita, last July, was the principal witness to-day in the trial of Savino Perriello for the same murder.
 Capobianco was brought down from the state prison in Wethersfield this morning by two keepers and was kept in the ante-room of the court room by them and Detectives Dodds and Keegan until he was call- ed to the stand. This was the op- portunity he wanted to fully explain why he shot Solomita. He laid the entire blame on Perriello, repeating the story he told Judge Robinson the day he was sentenced. He said that if Perriello had left him alone he would never have shot Solomita. He had no grudge against the Solo mita brothers, even though they did not come from the same place in Italy, Fragento. But Perriello had a bitter grudge against both men and he was anxious that they should be killed.
 Perriello was forever telling him that the Solomitas would kill him, Capobianco, and that he had better get the first shot. The revolver with which the man was shot to death belonged to Perriello and Perriello gave it to Capobianco the afternoon of the murder as they were going from the Waterbury Clock shop, where they were employed, to their home. But first Perriello gave Cap obianco a few drinks that made him feel queer, and then he slipped the revolver into his hands and told him that the Solomitas would be at the railroad tracks near the Naugatuck depot waiting to kill him.
 He said that even when he saw the Solomitas coming towards him he would have run away, hut Per- riello would not let him, and the next thing he knew he was firing the revolver and Angelo Solomita was on the ground, stiffening in death.
 |. The defence is that Perriello is the victim of a conspiracy.
