Washington. May a.-Among tn.
visitors to Washington in the past few
months there has been no more dis
tinguished person than Mrs. T. P.
OConnOr. | had the pleasure of know
ing Mrs. OConnor in her youth as
the daughter of Judge Paschal. She
was always considered one of the most
intellectual and brilliant young WON
en- of Washington.
Through the advantages which she
has had during her long sojourn in
England as the wife of one of the
most able and distinguished members
of Parliament, she has acquired the
foremost position as one of the most
noted women of the two countries.
She has been good enough to give
some Of the most interesting inter
views with CORES pOndents that have
been read with great amount of
pleasure by her old friends. Not the
least of these was her assertion that
every woman. rich or poor, should
earn her own living at least for one
year" This is so practical, SO Ameri-
can and so wise a suggestion that one
hopes it may be adopted in her native
land. at least.
She has not lost any of her loyalty
for American institutions, as she be
lieves thoroughly in the republican
form of government, and says that
lit is no doubt the best of its kind in
the world, and the aristOcraCy repre-
sentS the very best type to be found
anywhere
She admits that England is the
greatest colonization nation but
that no nation has accomplished what
America has done. 1t has given liber
~ and homes to all races and classes
and conditions of people-"the An
archist, the degenerate, the penniless
the homeless, the outlaw. and it has
given them back hope and selfre
spect, and when full-fiedged American
citizens they are ready at moment
notice TO take up arms in defense OF
their country"

and misrepresentation is undoubted

country of hope and Of progress. says
Mrs. O'ConnOr. and for myself an
more intensely American than ever
because more intelligently So
Every woman in America should be
proud of Mrs. O'COnnOr, who so elo
uuently expresses her devotion to hel
native land on account Of what II has
done If more American women who

and sustain the principles of oul
American institutions, they would re

Her advocacy of wOmans rights

devotion and pride in her illustrious

in her ambitions.

foreigners were of the same intellec
tual mould as Mrs. O'COnnOr. We
would not have such a horror of inter
national marriages. but for the mos
part they have proven themselves
svcOphants who seem proud Of the
fact that they have purchased titles
and must renounce their own Coun

as far as possible the land of theil
nativity.
