Woman are very active uowalayi in
nearly all the affaire ia which men take the
JoaiiPig part. They are suteri ij the p.-o

amount of success. There are n>S m -re
failures among them in proportion to their
number than among me i.
The Nor hern Methodist ch t-oh is now
profoundly agitated by the do naud vvhico
the women of that deuiooiuati m are mak
ing to be admitted to me nb-irsmp in t.ie
general co- ference. At the general con
ference in 188$ five worue i appeared with
pr per ere oatials and asked ad
mission. The mi listers ani lapmei who
composed the co ife enca were some what
startle iby the req ieit. They were opo *el
to havi g womon aisooiated w.th them in
the government of the chur-h, aid they
denied the five womon admittance. The
w men pleaded their can-e so clique illy
and effe -tlvslv, however, that tbi c > sfer
enci decid • 1 to submit the question of
admitting women to the conference to the
whole church. It was und r-tood that the
vote of the whole church should not be re
garded as a settleme it of it, but merely as
showing the se itimeat of the church.
The voting was do.ie during last month
and this mouth, and e nded lest Thursday.
The result of it will be known In about two
weeks. It is expected that it will be largely
in favor of the women. If it should be
then the question will be considered by the
HI annual conferences, which met dur
ing the spring, summer and fall of next
year, and tueu trie general c inference,
which meets ii 1802, will take it up again,
and. it is expected, will finally dispose of it.
No such distu bing question as this has
been discussed in the church since it divided
in 1811 on toe slavery question. For two
years and more all the church papors have
been full of it, a id at all important church
gatherings it has been a leading topic of
conversation.
And the women have a very good case. Of
the 'J,500,00J members of the church, t vo
thirds are woman. Taey are the real church
workers. They do far rn ire of the religious
work than men. Taey are foremost ii Sun
day school w rk, in all church societies, in
home and foreign missionary work, and in
the c ass room. At revivals they are promi
nent and effective agents,and their voices are
heard as exhortars and lit p -ayer meetings.
Tney are the soul of the ebur b, as it were.
Tweuty-five years ago only ministers
were admitted to toe c infertnoe. Laymen
had to fight for representation there. The
miristers were as much opposed to the ad
mission of laymen as members as the min
ters and laymen are now opp ed to the
admlssio iof womn. But the women will
win. They are bouud to and > so. Tae vote
of the church which has ju3t bean taken is
undoubtedly in their favor, a id it is thought
that three-fourths of the annual confersucss
will decide for them.
But will the admission of women to the
general conference le id to any.hing e’sel
Those who are opposing them believe
that it will. The next ddma id will be for
admission to the pulpit, and It is amc;ig t te
probabilities that by t .e en l of this century
women will ba ordai ed as ministers in the
Methodist church, aud will become regular
occupants of tne pul it. Aud will they
not make good ministers? Those who
had the pleasure of hearing the
addresses at the recent Woman’s
Christian Temiieranco Union convention
at Atlanta will peraaps admit that
women, if given the opportunity, will
do as good w.irk in the pulpit as moo.
Those who have noted c trefally the ch i ges
that have taken place within the last few
years’in the position uccuiislby worn in

A Move in the Right Direction.
Th 1 * suggestion to mako two judicial cir
cuits out of the Eastern circuit is a c od
one. The proposition is that Cuatham sh ill
be one circuit, and the other counties
another circuit.
Savannah has grown greatly within the
last few years, and she has now business
enough to keep a superior court judge i.usy.
Indeed, to enable court business t j be trans
acted in Savannah promptly the superior
court should he in session pretty nearly all
the time.
Years ago it was proposed that Chatham
county should compose one circuit, but some
of the lawyers opposed the proposition be
cause they thought they might lose their
business in other counties. There were but
few lawyers in those other counties then.
Now they all have about all the lawyers they
can support, and Savannah lawyers have
enough business to keep them at borne.
Ch tharn county pays enough taxes
to ju-tify her in asking that she be created
a circuit, and she has enoug 1 busi ess to
keep a judge busy. The burden upon the
superior court judge is steadily increasing.
Savannah is growing and her commerce
is growug. Consequently the business in
her courts is becoming greater. The legis
lature will make uo mistake if it din ides the
Eastern circuit.
An extraor linary condition of affairs
exists in this city, aud probably otner
southern cities, in the ma ter of New York
exchange. Heretofore, at this season of the
year, when thee etton crop is being marketed
exchange is almost invariably bought and
sold at a discount. For some time past the
banks have been buying New York ex
change at par and selling it at
a premium. From this il would
appear that southern merchant aro pay
ing up their debts, and southern banks are
returning the money they borrowed from
northern bauks. The rece it stringency,
doubtless, severely tested the lina iciai
stength of many souther i firms, but there
has not been a single heavy failure in the
southeastern state;.
Washington society was astouisnod a few
days ago to learn that Mrs. T.slan i .Stan
ford, wife of the California senator, nau
become a Cath li? through the influence of
her private secretary, a Miss McCarthy.
Owing to her wealth and social prominence
it caused no slight sensation, as she has been
known ns a devout Methodist. While the
story lacks direct confirmation, it is behoved
to be true. This excites no little cariosity
to know what course her well-known benev
olence will hereafter take. She has bean a
liberal patron of Methodist institutions, a id
that church will losa a valuable friend
should she adopt Catholicism.
There is every reason to believe that
Speaker Reed will have out a sorry tune m

A Chance for Good Work.
A society has just been organized in this
city for “prevention of cruelty to animals.’’
It is a very good society, and one that
should receive generous ssppirt. The car
ing for the dumb creatures which God has
give* to man to help him ia his labors is a
duty w bich should be conscientiously dis
charged. But is it not strange that, while
the humsi heart is moved to pity by the
sufferln sof the beasts of burden, no con
certed iff .r: is made to protect helpless lit
tle children, our own flesh and blood, fiom
r.egiei-t and cruel treatment at the hands of
th so entrusted with the care of them?
Tho women who are foremost in home
mis io ary work, who devote a good share
of their tuna to gathering the m ans for
carryi ig the gospel to heathens, and who
labor zealously in behalf of thoso whom
whisky has wrecked, might find a great
field for their sympathies and energies if
they would inq iire into the trea merit of
lh babi-s that are entrusted to tae care of
colored nurses. These babies, some of
them big enough to run about and others
only a few weeks old, are sent Into
the streets with colored women and girls,
some of whom are little, if any, better than
savages. They are dragged and pulled
about from one pla-e to another u til they
are ulmost exhausted. Not unfrequently
they are neglected, a ;d more often they are
addressed harshly and dealt with cruelly.
Of course not all the colored nur es are
unkind, or cruel or neglectful. Indeed, it
it probable that r. majority of them are as
kind to the children entrusted to them as
the mothers of the children, aud, in some
instances, kinder, but there are mmy who
are neglectful, heartless and cruel. It
would be far better for mothers to keep
their children at home all tho lays of their
childhood then to entrust them to such
nurses.
Of course, what 1* sai li' the newspapers
about this matter will ha- lly have the ef
fect of Inducing thought.ess and indifferent
mothers to exercise gr a or care in selecting
nurses for their children. Their main
thought is to relieve themselves of the
trouble and worry their children cause
them, and they don’t care u uch what sort
of nurses they hire, or how their children
are cared for, so. long as their freedom and
pleasures are n it Interfered with.
The only remedy for th s kind of cruel‘y
to cnil iren is an organization of ki -d
--bearted women who will make it their duty
to see that some sort of protection is af
forded children when in the streets under
the care of nurse* They can have one or
more officers whoso special duty it shall be
to watch the nurses, and see to it that the
children are not made the victims of neg
lect or ill-temper.
No doubt every mother thinks that her
ehil Iren are well treated by their nurses,
and that the children who are ill-treated
are the children of other mothers. She may
think that it is as much as she can do ti
attend to her own child-en, and that it is no
affair of hers what happens to other peo
ple’s. If mothers take this view they ate
likely to make a mistake, because there
comparatively few mothers who eve
certain that the nurses of their
children are all they could wish them to be.
Those who are most confident that they
have no cause to complain of their nurses
may be among those whose children are the
greatest tuffere s.
Such a society as is suggested could do a
great deal of good—more practical good, in
fact, t lau is done by some of the societies
in which-women take suca a de9p interest.
A Question ol Veracity.
The national party of Irela id and the
liberal party of England are getting farther
apart—at least their leaders are—and the
farther they get apart the less bright the
prospect for home rule for Ireland bacomes.
In our dispatches yesterday appeared a
man festo from Mr. Parnell, the leader of
tho national party, in which he said that
it was the purpose of the liberals t > me ge
tre national party ii the liberal party
—in fact, to virtually wipe out tho national
party. He also gave what purported to be
a pr.vate conversation botivee ; hi itself and
M . Gladstone, the leader of the liberal
party. Mr. Parnell declared that Mr. G ad
stone proposed that if the liberal* won in
the next election the Irish representation
in Parliament should bo cut down from
103 to S3, and also made propositions rela
tive to the land difficulty in Ireland, the
control of the Irish constabulary, and the
appointment of Irish judges, none of which
were satisfactory to him because they
would benefit Ireland very little.
In our dispatches this morning Mr. Glad
stone, replying to Mr. Parnoll’s manifesto,
insists that Mr. Parnell has put him in a
false position, and that he did not make the
propositions which Mr. Parnell say she did.
Instead of desiring to merge ths national
party in the liberal party he thinks they
ought to remain separate. He intimates
that Mr. Parne'l has done him a great
wrong and the Irish cause injury by making
publio a purely private conversation.
It is difficult to see how the liberals and
the nationalists are to get together again if
Mr. Parnell remains the leader of the na
tionalists. A rather bitter feeling appears
to he growing up botween them. The
liberals will staud by Mr. Gladstone and the
nationalists will be apt to resent tne charge
which Mr. Gladstone makes that Mr. Par
nell has not kept at close to tne truth as he
ought to in repeating a private conversation
between them.
Of course, Mr. Parnell is responsible for
the threatened disaster to the home-rule
cause. He occupied a position of power
and influence such as no otuer Irishman
had ever filled. His word was law to the
Irish people. They followed him without
questioning, beeau.-e they had unbounded
confidence in him. He forfeited that posi
tion by oonduct that makes it impossible
for the great liberal party of England to
remain an ally of the national party if he
is retained as leader cf the latter party.
He was strong enough to lead Ireland, but
too weak to resist a woman.
If he really wants the Irish cause to suc
ceed he must step aside and let a man who
has a less objectionable private record take
his place. It is quite evident that be can do
nothing moreac present f r that cause. Ho
can only do it harm, and if be doesn’t retire
v luntarily it wpuld seem to be the duty of
the friends of Ireland to force him to do so.
Ingalls has struck another iridescent
ti.eani. It’s l igger than all previous i. d.’s
he has yet collared. First, he wants to
claim seats in the Kansas legislature for con
testants so a* to bring him nearly even with
the opposition and then go to Washington
and claim the seat there on the ground that
the legislature which elected his opponent
was (oy his act) illegally constituted. Such
a -chorne isn’t likely to succeed even with a
re üb.ican majority, for there are some
Honest ones. If that isn’t stealing a seat,

Free Chicken for Dinner.
There is a gentleman ia North Seattle. Mr.
Blank, who keeps a number of hens, which, ia
days gone by have managed to make their escape
from the hea-penand have worried a neighbor,
Mr. Dash, very badly, says tho S.-attle Pres,.
Mr. Doan keeps hens. too. but he has alwavs
managed, as he supposed, to keep them seearelv
it-Side the p.cket tenoe which marks the bound
ary of the.r Lome.
One day recently Mr. Dash seat a note to Mr
Blank, to the effect that if he did nor keep his
hens at home he would be compelled to shoot
them. Mr. Blank examined lu hen-pen care
fully. and counted his chickens. Th-y wer.- all
at home, and ho could see ru possible way for
them to escape He at once sot dona and
To:e his neighbor a p lite not saying that he
was sorry that his hens provetd suca an annoy
ance, aud if they troubled him he should not
object to their being s_ot “Just shoot them. '
wrote Blank, “and throw them over the fence
into my yard and I will take care of them.”
The next evening when Mr. Blank came home
he found a dead chickei laying io hi; fr nt
yard, w ith haif a pound of scot ia it. He took
it up, dressed it, and tho next day had the
pleasure of eating it.
The next day t here w. re two, and the next
day there were threa. He had fried chicken for
breakfast, coid caicken for lunohe >n, riast
chic-ten for dinner a id spring coirken to sell,
but still the supply kept up. while, stranga to
sav, his chickens did not seem to decrease in
numbers.
Oue day Mr. Blank was standing out in his
front yard, wnen Mr. Dash came along with a
ver - puzzled expression on ins face.
“Say. Blank," exclaimed he, “now many of
yourcT okens navel killed?"
“You have not killed any,” was the reply.
“Wnatdoyou mean?" exclaimed the a;ton
isi'ed Dasa.
"Why, 100 t at your hen-pen and see.'’
Dash made a rusn to the fowl yard to size up
rtir situation. Instead of the fifty sleek looking
hens that the yard had contained a month be
fore scarcely twenty remained, wnile a small
hole in the corner of the pen told the rest of tue
story to the infuriate! r’ish.
"io think.” exclaimed Dash, "that I sheu’d
keep that dog-gasted, measly Blank in chick -ns
for a month, white my own family were regal
ing themselves on pork and Leans! Bah! It's
too bad!”

Recognized HU Voica.
There is a member of the Kansas City bar who
isa most excellent lawyer and genial man. says
the Kansas City Star. One of bis attributes is
a voica which he can aud does make a rival to
tnuuder itself when heated in argument. Never
taeless he is very persuasive and convincing,
and a dangerous opponent. Tae otaer day be
was makiug an address to a jury. His case was
fairly strong, he himsslf very much in earnest,
and uis trumpet tones made everything ring.
Fina l;,' (m a perfect hurricane of sound he
closed his arguineut and sat down. The jury
look ?d serious and thoughtful, and were evi
deutly very much impressed. Unless the effect
of the harangue could be disje led the otuar
side was in danger. The lawyer opposing nad
a sad. watery eye. and a face like a hatchet,
He was a very quiet man and another S r of
orator. He sat pa iently and in silence through
the taundergusts of his fr-eod. and after rever
berations of the closing crash had ceased he
arose.
“As I listened to the rather thunderous ap
peals of my . riend. Judge otenter, ’’ he said, ad
dressing the jury in a drawling tone: “i r■-
called a fable wnich I heard in my youth. Y'ou
will remember, gentlemen, how once the Lon
and the ass entered into a compact to slay toe
beasts of the field and divide tue spoil. The*
divided the work; the ass was to gj Into Ihe
thi ket aud bray ani frighten the anima s out,
while the lion was to 1 o in wait and ki.l tue
fugitive- us fast as they appeared. Well, the ass
sought the darkest pa tot the juugi , and, lift
ing up his awiul voice, brayed and lira el and
brayed. There never was heard such an infer
nal din. The ass was quite in oxica.ed with hg
own uproar, and t .ou .lit he'd return aud see
what the Lon thought of it. With a light heart
he went nac.t and found tue lion lo king and unt
fully about him, paie and tretnbl.ng iu every
limb.
"’What do you think of that for braying?’
brand the exultant ass. ‘Don’t you think I’ll
scare ’em?’
“’Scare 'em?’ repeated the Hon in an agi
tated tone. ‘Why. you’d scare me if I didu’t
know you wvre a jacka(s!‘ ”
The jury began to laugh, and the effect of the
judge's norous eloquence was visibly- weak
ened. He lost the case.
Afraid of a Splurge.
One of tho slickest games ever worked by
confidence men is that of huyiag a farm. Oue
of a pair looks over tho country uutii ne finds
the man he is after, says the New York bun,
and tie theu buys tue farm at the farmer's o-vn
prioe, paying from SSO to S2OO down to fund the
bargain. Before the papers can oe mule out a
cori.eJerate comes along, falls io love with the
same firm and offers the fanner more
than the other did. Tae agriculturist sees a
speculation here, and he buys the first pureba e.
olf with a big bonus. Then both men drop out
ot si lit, and the farm r 1 aril- som thingtnew,
1 was sto ping overnight wit h a Connecticut
far mer vvno uad sold out and taken S2JO to bind
th airgain. 1 was there when the second man
called with his templing offer. He waited at
the barn, and Uncle Jerry came in and said to
Aunt Sally:
"Seem- ike a chance to make a cleau thou
sand dollars. The first, buyer says he’ll take
thousand, and tl at’ 1 eave us the same.”
"Did we ever have a ihousand dollars all at
once?” she asked.
"Never.”
“Ever have a chance to splurge out and make
fools of ourselves!”
“No."
“D’ye think we’d do it if we had the money?”
“Well, I was thinkin’ of anew watch and a
broadcloth suit."
“And I was thinkin’ o" a silk dress and anew
bonnet. Uucle Jerry, we dasn’t do it. We’d
splurge in less’n twenty-four hours.”
“Guess we would. Aunt Sally, and so I sell out
to the fust man.”
He sternly refused the second offer, and btcu
when a thousand more was added he was in
flexible. The first purchaser never showed up
again, and to this day the old couple are hold
ing the money and have the papei-s ready for
the trade.
A Bong of Long Ago.
James Whitcomb Riley in Lewiston Journal.
A song of long ago;
Sing it lightly, sing it low;
Siug it softly—like the lisping of the lips we
used to know—
When our baby laughter spilled
From our heart forever tilled
With a music sweet as robin ever trilled.
Let the fragrant summer breeze.
And the leaves of locust trees.
And the apple bads and blossoms, and the wings
of honey bees,
All palpitate with glee.
Till the happy harmony
Brings back each childish joy to you and me.
Let the eyes of fancy turn
Where the tumbled pippins burn
Like embers in the orchard's lap of touseled
grass and fern;
And let the wayward wind.
Still singing, plod behind
The cider press—tue good, old-fashioned kind!
Blend in the song the moan
Of the dove that grieves alone.
And the wild whirr of the locust, and the bum
ble's drowsy drone;
And the low of cows that call
Through the pasture bars, when all
Tue landscape fades away at evenfaU.
Then, far away and cl ar,
Through the dusky atmosphere,
Let the walling ot the kiidse be the only sound
you hear.
01 sweet and sad and low
As the memory miy know.
Is the glad, pathetic song of loug ago.

August ITthotT is an Elkhom saloon keeper,
who was arrested recently charged with selling
liquor on the Sabbath, says the Omaha World-
Herald. He was taken before a justice at Elk
horn for trial, and straightway moved for a
coange of venue.
‘•What's that?" the court asked.
“We don't wan’t to be tried by you,” UthofTs
attorney responded.
The judge looked at him in astonishment.
Uthoffs attorney expected a fine for contempt
of court, but he escaped that.
“I'd like to know why not?” the court re
marked warmly.
"Well, we have an affidavit here to the effect
that we feel we cannot securo a fair and im
partial trial. You're prejudiced.”
“You're a liar!”
“You're unfriendly to us.”
“You're an inferna . no account, worthies
liar You and your client ought to be in jail.”
“We want to go before another court any
way.”
The justice rose up and roared.
“You make me tired," he cried. “Do you
think this court is going to have you pawing
all over the country like Dogknees looking for a
man with a lantern to suit your plea-ure?
Think the law is atr ing to be tried on like a
suit of elothes? You sit down there and give
your evidence.”
Uthoff s attorney complied and the result
was his client was fined $lO3 and was sent lo
jaiL But the attorney appeared before the
district court, recited ths facts, and the saloon
man was released.

Depilatories are very dangerous remedies
unless kept in the bauds of very careful p -r-on
They are i iable to not only take off the offending
hair, but also tbe akin as well, and leave ugly’
-ores to heal and form scars. The Turkish
.-omen nr • saii co be ver.- proficient iu the use
of depilatories, as tbev have no hair on their
nodies, with the exception of the head. Nearly
lil forms of _ depilatories eoend upon some
form of s Aphides of the alkaline earths. Prob
tbly toe safest among the effective ones is made
f ■ :u the ordinary quick lime. It should be
slacked with two parts of water and then satu
rate i with freshly made suiphereted hvdrogen.
This mixture must be use I within a few days
after it is made. < are must always be taken to
ee that the oaste does not cover more surface
Than it is necessary to free from hair. It is also
a wise precaution to spread but a small space
at a time, and when this is deprived of hair treat
a fresh portion of the surface.
Avery pretty remind -r of one of the best
known tales of Hans Christian Andersou oc
curred Wednesday, in one of the most prosaic
and workaday sections of down town, the
corner of Ann and Nassau streets, says the
New York Times. A lot or' workingmen have
been busy on the ground flour of one of the
cornel buildings for some time, making altera
tions there, and one of them, after ha had
finished his dinner, lay dowu behind a pile of
Hoards in one of tne big windows to take a nap.
He looked so graceful and generally
comfortable that his fellow-w.irkinsu de
termined to share the picture with the
public at large, aud they quietly remove 1
the pile of board. so that a full view of him
could be had from the stre-t. To attract further
attention, one of the apprentice boys letters i a
sign “Th : Sloaping Butey” and hung it over
the slum- erer’s head. Nine out of every ten
men who paused that way stopped to look and
smile, and a crowd gathered that fairly blocked
the sidewalk. Just as a policeman came along
to disperse the gathering the slseper awoke and
tiis face turned the color of a Neapolitan sun
set when he saw s veal hundred grins comi tg
at him through th. windows. He jumped for
his fools and set to woi k like ams iman, and
the coiner was cleared in a twinkling.
Surveyors are becoming mnre and more in
debted to ohot vgraphy for the way in which it
facilitates and improves their work. For
leconnoissanc-J theca uera offers some pleasant
features. The public is always anxious to know
what an engineer is doing with a transit, but if
he has a map of the country and an aneroid in
hispi-ckst. so that, by fences or other vise, he
can tell pretty a -urly where he is, he is only an
araa eur artist making views of scenery, and
the farmer is not sus oirious that he wants to
run a l-alroad through his corn crib.
Such pictures as tnay thus be secure:!, under
standingly used, may help to decide where
a line will pronably be best, so far as
themnetai features of the country arc con
cerned. Progress is the order of the day. It is
not long sin e the engineer who used a camera
to take occasional or semi-occasional recorJs
of the prog ess of his work wa. looked upon as
putting on airs. Now, however, the blue print
and th camera come in very handily, so much
so that it Is not the engineer who uses them,
but rather the one wno does not, who is the ex
ception. Tue engineer is not likely to dispense
jus now with his transit, but he who avails
himself of such help as photograph v can give
him. especially in such work os making close
topographical surv ys, will have a very great
advantage over him who doss not.
A gray-haired and mechanical old account
ant of the Onemioal Bank. New York, remarked
tbe other day, that nothing was more amusing
to a veteran and dispassionate observer of Wad
street than the manner in which the so-called
‘ great” financial men of the world disappeared
from view when Mr. G mid decided to come
back to the street. “Wall street kings,” he said,
“ha e been as numerous as liuckieo -Tries in the
Blue Ridge mountains ever si ice Jay Gould
built his big yacht and reti ei from t ie street.
They posed in cafes and c übs, and their i ames,
theories, and Intentions were discussed with
profound solemnity by the ab esc financial
writers iu the country. Yet Mr. Gould had not
been two days in the field before every one of
tuem wav on the run, and their names, even
now, are little more than memories. This has
been tne history of the fluctuations of the stre t
during tue past twenty years, a .a it is noticed
that the only men whose security seems un
shakable are those who act In conjunction with
or are used t.y Mr. G mid. K issell Sage is an
admirable type of tne latter class of operator-*.
He is one of the few rich men who recognized
the Gould genius and placed himself voluntarily
under its guidance years ago Tne result is that
he has nothing to fear tr m the sudden whirls
in the market now. He is sure to be with the
tide because Mr. Gould controls it.”
