PITTSBURGH, July 31.-Dr. John A.

demonstrated by Madame Curie. Mary
Somerville and Caroline Herschel, whose

world in a thousand ways. The success
of great men has been attained in many
cases with the assistance of a faithful
wife, who seldom receives n share in
her husbands fame.
Personally, my success in everything

her lifetime she went where L went. she
had what 1 had and i have always de-

women will enjoy the privileges which
