Od CAN THis BE TRUE?—Onecau’s always tell whether he, or she, as the case may be, is ‘‘entertaining an aogel unawares’ or not, but while this may prove the exocep- tion once in awhile the rule is mostly con. trarawise. For instance : About a month ago a young Syrian girl, who gave her name as Georgiana Ferris, made ber ap- pearance in this place and represented thas she was selling or taking orders for rugs and oriental goods. She remained here a week or two and was ‘‘taken up’ literally speaking, by some of the best people of the town. One evening during ber stay here she lectured in the Methodist church, was prominently present at several other pub- lie and was highly re. garded by all who bad the pleasure (?) of meeting her. From bere she went to Ty- rone bat the people of that place were some- what slow in patronizing her and permis. ting themselves to be] patrovized so she journeyed on to Philipsburg where she was received virtually with open arms. She was welcomed in the homes of the best peo- ple of the place and was patronized quite liberally. But the denouement finally came, and the way it was brought about is told by the Philipsburg Journal of last Fri- day, as follows : *‘Without any remuneration Miss Ferris agreed to leoture in the M. E. church un- Sons Sots eo soars o onary y, te conversion in detail, with a description of the manners and customs of the le in her native land. On the night of her leo- ture a very fair sized audience was presen and her talk proved thrillingly interesting. Some things related in her lecture, as well as in her conversations in the homes visite ed, were a little difficult to harmonize, but the People were inclined to be charitable and at least hoped that she was telling the truth. She had been announced to speak in the Baptist church on Sunday evening last, but a leading member of that body en- dowed with a good memory, recall ed that a few weeks ago he had read a dis- pte in a Philadelphia newspaper from nnellsville, Pa., reflecting very seriously upon a young Syrian bearing the same name. After a very diligent search the > per was found, and sure enough the dis- pues yoked the name of Miss Georgiana ‘erris with some seemingly crooked work in Connellsville and vicinity, the result of which, as the dispatch went on to state, led to the issuing of a warrant for her ar- rest on the charge of obtaining money un- der false pretense. ‘‘When confronted with this newspaper story on Saturday evening she pleaded much surprise denounced the article as false. She seemed to be very much affecs- ed, and the more charitable were inclined to think thas perbaps the dispatch was a misrepresentation and that she would be able , as she olairoed, to set herself right in the eyes of the people. On Monday morn- ing, even against the wishes of many who wanted her to stay in Philipsburg, until her case was investigated, she hurriedly left town, with the object, as she alleged, of going direct to Connellsville, and hunt- ing down the assailacts of her character.” Up to this time the Syrian girl has not returned to Philipsburg to tell how she ran to earth her traducers at Connellsville, but word has heen received from other places throughout the State lendicg coufir- mation to the above story. A GREAT Success.—When Lottie Blair Parker wioté “Way Down East,” mana. gers predioted a great future for her, but moss of the ‘‘wise ones’ thought Mrs. Par- ker produced all that she possessed and would never equal this play. Mrs, Par- ker, who is a very shrewd business woman, thought of that old maxim ‘‘say nothing but saw wood.” She sawed, and sawed, and when finished turned out ‘Under Southern Skies’ which duplicated the suc- oes of ber former effort, and is considered by many, a bigger success. Mrs. Parker laughed at the prophets who said she ‘‘pro- duced all she possessed*’ in ber first big success. At Garman’s this (Friday) night.

Chicago, March 13.—A movement took shape looking to the establish- ment of a “union” cemetery, and with- in a month or two a plot of ground large enough for 5000 graves will be reserved strictly for unionists.

Y., March 13.—The long and eventful life of Susan B. Anthony is closed. The end came peacefully. Miss Anthony had been unconscious practically for 24 hours, and her death had been trouble for the last six or seven years. A North Adams, Mass, February 15, 1820. She came of rugged stock. Her youth was passed in Rochester, a city which for owns her children. In 1851 there was not a state in which a woman had a right to her own wages. Now there is hardly a state in which the law has not been changed in this regard. In 1850 there were but two institu- tions called colleges in America that admitted women. Now the number of women colleges is legion, and co-educa- tion is advancing every year in the ranks of the most conservative col- leges. When Miss Anthony began, wo- man had no part whatever in the suf- frage In America. Wyoming has had complete suffrage for women now for years, and in more than 20 states wo- men may vote for school officers. Muni- cipal suffrage, too, has made consider- able strides, and as a result of the agi- tation women have entered many branches of industrial and profes- sional life that were before closed to them. Since she retired from the presidency of the Suffrage party, about three years ago, Miss Anthony has travelled widely and lectured more than was wise for one of her age. In 1904 she went to Germany to at- tend the international Congress of Women, the result of a plan which she devised in 1898 at the 40th anniversary of the first women’s rights meeting. Miss Anthony was received at court by Emperor William and his wife, who were charmed by her simple manners and dignity. In the following year Miss Anthony was at Portland, Ore, at a great gath- erinz of women suffragists. This year she went. to Baltimore, and it was this Journey that overtaxed her strength. She was attacked by neuralgia and had to take to her bed. She was obliged to cancel an obligation to attend a dinner given in her honor in New York city, as symptoms of pneumonia were de- tected. It was difficult for her to give up, and she insisted on going to New York even in the face of her doctor's warning. She became suddenly weaker, however, and was forced to take to her bed.
