Chicago society is the most democratic
society in the world. “Social democracy”
of the real and unadulterated kind, the
variety often talked and written about,
but comparatively seldom practiced, may
bo met with in many Chicago homes—
such homes as those of Mrs. Charles
B latch ford, Mrs. Bayard Holmes, Dr.
J ulia Holmes Smith and Mrs. Lydia Avery
Ooonley-Ward. There are homes in Chi-
cago, too, beautiful, cultured, artistic
homes, and plenty of them, whero the in-
vited guest is just as likely to meet with
the blacksmith who periodically shoes his
fast trotter or his buggy horse, tho sweet-
heart of the man who attends to his plumb-
Ing or a domestic from her own household
as with a world famous musician or tho
doctor whoso wonderful skill in healing
has caused two continents to ring with his
name.
The man who chats easily with you
when tho doors of these pleasant and dem¬
ocratic homes aro thrown open for social
entertainment may be a skilled mechanic
or an unskilled professor of ancient my¬
thology, but this fact is not brought up in
casual conversation. The woman who
sits at tho other end of tho sofr% may have
beGn, perhaps now is, employed in tho
same household In some domestic capac¬
ity, but nobody thinks any the less of her
for that. Nobody knows anything about
it ns a matter of fact, for in these homes

pany Is desired and who is made cordially
wolcome, not the occupation which he or
she follows or the clothing which they
*iay wear.
Such a home is that of Mrs. Bayard
Holmes, whoso system of entertaining has
long been tacitly recognized by the resi¬
dents of the various social settlements as
an unconscious but powerful ally tho
work which they strive to do in bringing
together people whose social spheres would
nover otherwise touch or correlate in any
manner, but who are nevertheless all tho
better on both sides for the unusual and
unexpected contact. To tho Sunday even¬
ing receptions which have for nearly two
years made tho Holmes household a salon-
like rendezvous for all sorts and condi¬
tions of people once a week are invited
people from Ewing street and tho Lake
Shoro drive. Tho Hull House district
sends its contingent as regularly and en¬
thusiastically as Ashland or Drexel boule¬
vard. People who work in kitchens,
sweatshops, studios, all flock thither on ev¬
ery Sunday from October until June.
Perfect informality and freedom of inter¬
course prevail at all times, freedom so
perfect and untrammeled that if host
or hostess desire to leave home early
in order to keep a previous engagement
either feels quite at liberty to do so. The
guests are encouraged to feel just as much
at liberty to remain until ohurehtinae if
this suits their convenience. Simple re¬
freshments and a hearty welcome are of¬
fered to all. The guests wait upon them¬
selves and upon each other. It is no un¬
common sight to see the foreign bred
sweatshop worker, pale with long confine¬
ment lu unhealthy surroundings, haggard
with homesickness, quietly accepting a
cup of tea or a plate of food from the Chi¬
cago professional or business man who
only knows of the slums or the levee by
hearsay. The girl who is “working up”
via somebody’s kitchen or dining room is
as welcome and ns thoroughly appreciated
as her sister in velvet and furs.
“I love people just because they sre
people,” declares Mrs. Holmes. “What
they may do In order to earn their share
of the world’s good things matters making not a
straw. I never think when out

Everything wa* all right unHl until one ot
these new-reform women or something
of that sort, came here to five, ^he con-
verted all the other women, and now my
life is a burden to me. It all commenced
with the bed sheets. She keeps herself in
a perfect fever lest I should happen to
change them. She doesn t want rhe under
sheet placed for the upper one, and she
talks as if her nervous system never would
recorer if by any chance I should turn
them upside down-that is, turn them
over so that the side she slept on last night
oornes tonight against the mattress unclean- or
blanket. She says that would be
ly and so, of course, unhealthful. If she
is in the room when I am doing her work,
she stands over me to see that those sheets
are unchanged, and if she isn’t sure she
jgarks them with a pencil so she may be
snro they are put on right. She talks
‘physical culture’ and‘woman’s rights,’
etc., 1 iy the hour to the other women and
has got them ail converted to her‘sheet
fad.’ Now, I wouldn’t say a word if I
hadn’t found out for certain sure that she
‘strains at gnats and swallows camels.’
“For instance, she has got a cabinet of
rare china in her room which she never al-
lows me to touch. She takes care of it
herself, and you can write your name in
the dust on it any time. She often sends
for mo to come and make her bed before it
has been aired a bit. .She never washes
her teeth but once a day, for she says her-
self she doesn’t. She walks a good deal
because it is such healthy exercise. Her
dresses are too long for walking, and so

and muddy. Kver so many times she goes
into dinner with both the under and out-
side skirts all drabbled like that.
when she takes them off she hangs them
away in her closet without ever touching
them until she gets ready to wear them
again. Oh, I tell you, it isn’t always the
women who talk the most about cleanli-
ness and healthfulness that observe the
rules for them.”

tVoinan'l Heroism Ill War.
Among the stories of women’s heroism
which come from Virginia is tho one of
young Elizabeth Zane, who, during the
Wartimes in tho last century, performed a
feat of valor equal to any displayed by tho
Santiago heroes.
It was during the siege of Fort Henry,
at the mouth of Wheeling creek, in Ohio
county. Tho Indians had surrounded the
fort and had kept up a steady firing from
early sunrise until noon. Tho few sharp¬
shooters intrenched within the defenses
had returned tho fire with deadly effect
until about 12 o’clock, when the pale
Women ‘‘The whispered among themselves:
powder is about gone. What shall
We do?”
Fortunately about this time the Indians
withdrew to tho foot of a hill near by^to
hold a council war, and for a few minutes
there was silonco. About ten rods distant
from the gate at tho fort was a house
where a keg of powder was stored, aDd
Colonel Shepherd, tho commander in
charge, raised the question as to who
should go after it. Tho men all bravely
offered their services, but while the colonel
hesitated Elizabeth Zane declared that she
nlono would go, as her life was of less im¬
portance than were tho lives of tho men.
At first Colonel Shepherd would not lis¬
ten to her, but her argument was such
that he finally reluctantly consented, and
tho men opened tho gate for her to pass
out.
As the brave girl sped through, the In¬
dians evidently did not comprehend what
she was after, for they paid no attention
to her, and sho reached tho house unmo¬
lested, but on the return they saw the keg
mid suspected its contents. Immediately
they opened fire, but fear lent wings to
hor flying feet, and soon sho was back to
the fort unharmed, with tho keg of powder
In her arms.
Tho guns were again loaded, and in a
short time tho Indians fled.
After tho war Elizabeth Zano removed
to St. Clairville, O., where she lived to a
good old age. She was twice married,
and her many descendants still proudly
tell tho story of their great-great-grand¬
mother's daring.—Boston Journal.
Titles For Unmarried Women.
The new woman was warmly advocating
the use of tho title of “madam” instead of
“miss” for unmarried women of what is
diplomatically called “a certain age.”
“It marks all the difference,” she said,
“between the futile old maid and the self
reliant bachelor woman. A woman who
is addressed as ‘miss’ requires a chaperon
all through life. There is a kind of tradi¬
tional helplessless about her that we can’t
get over. Sho retains the air of the in¬
genue, no matter if sho has seen 40 sum¬
mers and several winters besides. You
can’t help suspecting her of a hankering
after book muslin and blue ribbons, and
you know she’d do her hair in corkscrew
curls if she got half a chance. On the
other hand, to address a middle aged un¬
married woman as ‘madam’ fixes her
status at once. It's as descriptive as a
biography. You know she is one of the
women who have arrived, so to speak. She
is a woman of intelligence, possibly of
achievements, certainly independence,
either through inherited money or her own
efforts. You would know she required no
chaperon, no matter what she did or where
she went. The very title recognizes her
right to as much liberty as a married
woman, unfettered by the married worn-
an’s duties and burdens.’ The new worn-
an paused in her argument. “Of course,”
she admitted regretfully, “there are worn-
en who aro born old maids and to whom
the title of madam would be as much of a
misfit as if one called them colonel or
judge. After all, perhaps it would be a
good thing to keep the title of madam as
a kind of honorary distinction for unmar-
ried women who have really achieved
something worth while, as a man is made
an R. A. or a F. R. S., you know.”—

Woman’s Best Age.
The age at which women exert theii
greatest power depends very much upon
varying fashion and taste.
In the Elizabethan era a woman was
supposed to have reached the most attract¬
ive age at 14, and heroines as celebrated
In their day as Juliet were instigators oi
tragic loves and hates at this extremely
immature age.
About half a century ago Balzac aston
ished his countrymen by proclaiming the
supreme power of fascination of the wom¬
an of 30, and since that time she held the
stage as the incarnation of coquettish at¬
traction. At the present time her ac-
knowledged charm and beauty are allowed
to last quite ten years longer, and with
the term “old maid” the old maid hersell
has departed, to give place to the bright
and interesting single woman.
In France an unmarried woman of 25 is
regarded even at the present day as quite
shelved. In England and America, on the
contrary, only a small percentage of wont-
en of Independent means or who are sell
supporting care to marry before that age,
and many of them do not desire the re¬
sponsibilities of wedlock till some years
later.—New York World.
Great Men’s Mothers.
“It is an interesting historical fact that
nearly every man of great deeds who also
possessed a great character had a mothet
of a strong, fine nature, with whom in
boyhood and early manhood he dwelt in
close sympathy even when at a distance
from her,” writes Frances B. Evans in
Ladies’ Home Journal. “Probably the
most disagreeable man socially of all cele¬
brated men was poor Thomas Carlyle,
whoso disposition was nervous, melan¬
choly and grumpy, but in the midst of hia
laborious life and severe mental industry
ho could always find time to write affec¬
tionate letters to his mother, full of the
respect, tenderness and consideration he
never seemed to feel for much greater per¬
sonages. If a mother’s hand holds the
leading strings of a man’s life, he will
hold himself as securely as did Anthony
Hope’s prisoner of Zenda, with his motto,
‘The king can do no wrong.’ ”
The Power of Diamonds.
“I should like so much to have a pair ol
solitaire diamond earrings,” the southern
woman was saying in her drawling tones.
“Diamond earrings!” the New York
woman exclaimed in almost startled tones.
“Whatever would you do with them?”
Diamond earrings did not seem some way
to be in accord with the southern woman’s
refined beauty.
“I should wear them shopping morn¬
ings,” the soft voice went o„_ calmly.
“They are invaluable for making an im¬
pression upon the clerks.”
“Oh, yes,” returned the New Yorker in
relieved tones, “I understand! Just as
handsome rings are of the greatest service
in a strange hotel. A few good stones that
show unmistakably their value give one
a certain standing with the waiter, which
means an immediate benefit in the ~ay of
creature comforts.”—New York Times.
Settling: the Bridegroom.
it takes a bright woman to rebuke an-
other woman’s rudeness, a general state-
ment borne out bv the following story: A
lady entered a railway train and took a
seat in front of a newly married couple,
She was scarcely seated before they began
to pass remarks about her. Her last year’s
bonnet and cloak were fully criticised,
with more or less giggling on the bride’s
part, and there is no telling what might
have come next if the lady had not put a
sudden stop to the conversation by a bit
0 f strategy. She turned her head, noticed
that the bride was considerably older than
the groom, and In the smoothest of tones
said:
“Madam, will you please ask yo ur son
to close the window behind you?”
The “son” closed his mouth, and the
bride no longer giggled.—Boston Traveler.

SPAIN IS ANXIOUS
TO RENEW WAR.
Madrid Feels Certain a Good
Chance Has lieen Lost.
WILLING TO FIGHT AGAIN.
Condition of American Forces Induces
The BePef That Cuba Could Not
Have Been Taken.
Washington, October 17.—Infor¬
mation reached the war department
that a high officer of the Spanish
army very recently made a state¬
ment that had the Spaniards been
aware ot the condition of the army,
its inability to withstand the hard¬
ships of a campaign, its lack of
medical and other supplies and
and general efficiency as told in the
American papers, the Spaniards
would not have g'ven up, but would
have continued fighting for a long
time to come, fully believing that
they would have been able to pre¬
vent the capture of Cuba by Amer¬
ican arms.
This statement is known to have
been made to an American officer
now in Cuba and causes some un¬
easiness in official circles as it may
mean that the Spaniards are not yet
ready to yield the island under the
terms of the protocol.
It is believed by officials in Wash¬
ington, that had it not been for the
outcry made regarding the army
and the conduct of the war there
never would have been any ques¬
tion raised by the Spanish peace
commissioners regarding the Cuban
debt. It is pointed out under the
protocol the sole question left for
the commission was the settlement
of the Philippines and that nothing
w r as said about the Cuban debt or
any other Cuban question.
By those who are in position to
know it is asserted that the Madrid
government was aware when it
asked i j r tor P eace and j when i negotia- t-
tions were opened that it was use-

less to ask that the Cuban debt be
taken into consideration by any
commission and that it is only since
the reports of the bad condition of
the United States army has reached
Madrid that the question has been
raised.
TEMPER OF SPANIARDS IN CUBA IS
FEARED.
Another matter that causes grave
consideration in the war depart¬
ment is the temper of the Spaniards
in Cuba and the fear that the im¬
pression which now prevails there
may lead them to regard the Amer¬
ican troops of not much account
and act accordingly after the occu¬
pancy by the United States.
The matter has been discussed in
the war department and it is prob¬
able that when the troops are sent
to Cuba there will be a force of
such size and character as to give
the islanders a different impression
of the United States soldiers than
they now entertain.
“The impression among the
Spaniards i-n Cuba,” said an officer
in position to know what is going
on, “is that the American soldiers
are weak and puny, incapable of
withstanding hardships and whom
it will be an easy matter to van¬
quish. This feeling may make it
difficult for the Americans at first.
The impression is due to the charg¬
es that have been made against the
war department with such viru¬
lence and insistence during the past
few months.”
It has become evident that the
troops when sent to Cuba must be
isolated for some time in their camps
to avoid the danger of infection
and the department is not quite
clear that any useful purpose will
be served by placing soldiers where
their services cannot be available.
While the wet season has now
almost reached its end in Cuba, it
is said that the yellow fever is more
prevelent and dangerous in type
just now than at any time during
the year. These conditions, how¬
ever will not continue long.
WILL ENLIST CUBANS IN SERVICE,
A proposition now under consid¬
eration looks to the employment of
Cubans as local gendarmes, it being
urged that they would be more ser-
vicable in maintaining order in the
towns than American soldiers, un¬
acquainted with the Spanish lan¬
guage and Cuban customs. The
U nited States government in this
way also by the payment of small
salaries to these men considera¬
bly relieve the distress thar exists
on the island without breeding a
class of professional paupers or
lowering the pride of the Cubans.
Unless General Lee specifically
asks to be relieved from that duty
he is to command the first expedi¬
tion, seconded by General Greene
and General Arnold.

EX-CHIEF OF POLICE
HANGED IN CHICAGO
George II. Jacks, of Muskegon,
Mich., is Executed For Murder.
Jacks Wrote the Jailer Protesting
his Innocence and declaring
That if He Was Permitted to
Hang There Could be no God.
Chicago, Oct. 14.—George ~ H. __
Jacks, formerly chief of police a,
Muskegon, Mich., and John Drug-
gan, both convicted murderers,were
hanged on the same scaffold in the
county jail this afternoon.
Some time before the hanging.
Jacks sent the following letter to
the jailer :
“Mr. Whitman—My Dear Sir:
Please do not let any of the clergy
into see me. If I,an innocent man,
be hanged today, without the right
to have the highest court in the land
pass upon my case, which is all,pre¬
pared at great expense to myself
and labor to my friends ; if I am re¬
fused this right, which every man
is entitled to, there certainly can be
no God above us and in that case
the clergy can do no good. So
please do not allow any one to see
me. Yours, George H. Jacks.”
This request was complied with.
Jacks was convicted of the mur¬
der of Andrew J. McGhee,an aged
collector and solicitor,whom Jacks,
assisted by William J. Willows,
now serving fourteen years for com¬
plicity in the crime, decoyed into
an apartment house on Indiana
avenue for the purpose of robbery.
Jacks had a long criminal record,
When chief of police of the Michi-
gan city , he also , , held ,, the , position . . of r

was a member of the fire depart¬
ment. While holding these official
positions he committed a long series
of burglaries, for which he was
finally convicted and sentenced to
the Michigan penitentiary for four
years. Upon his release he came to
Chicago and returned to his old
mode of living. Jacks was out on
bonds for burglary when he was
arrested on the charge of murder.
Druggan was convicted of the
murder of Robert Gudgeon, a sa¬

“Oh Lord have mercy on my
