An Answer to a Lengthy Screed That Republican Reformers Say WAS NECESSARY AT PRESENT In Order to Aid the Junior Senator in His Race for Re-Election. They Take Occasion to Eeview Mr. Quay's Eecord Upon That They Claim Their Case Bests Delamater's Defeat Charged to Quayism No Lack of Great Moral Ideas In the Party Senator Havrley Sees Danger of the Democrats Capturing the Senate A Bitter Struggle in New York Why Campbell Is for Cleveland The Chicago Convention Espected to Be One of Surprises. Philadelphia, March 15. The Reform Republican League makes public the fol lowing: To the Republicans of Pennsylvania. Wo respond to the essential points in Chairman CUrkson's defense of Mr. Quay, recently issued, and suggest the reason why Mr. Quay's friends secured Its publication at this time. 3Ir. Quay's seat in the Senate, voluntarily vacated by him so constantly, Is In no serious danger of an involuntary and permanent relinquishment, and of occupa tion by a very different type of Republican statesman, not through "Democratic hos tility," but because the Republican voters of the Keystone Stato desire fitting repre sentation in the United States Senate. Keen appreciation of this danger, based on knowl edge of political ferment throughout tho State, now induces Mr. Quay's former pri vate secretary to issue Mr. Clarkson's ad dress ot lat autumn, so as to stem the strong anti Quay tide now running in the State. Mr. Clsrkson says: "I call on the other men w Ith whom I served with Mr. Quay, and all 111 bear w itness that Mr. Quay's meth ods vero honorable, straightforward, bold and manly;" and further, "I talk of him as we know him, as he came to us at national headquarters. I do not pretend to speak as to his affairs in Pennsylvania." Speaking as Pennsylvanians. But we presume to speak, both as Pennsyl- vanians and Republicans; they concern ns. Of them Mr. Clarkson should be informed when he lends his influence to strengthen Mr. Quay in a domestic election. In the glaring landmarks of Mr. Quay's pnblie career he will find the sufficient causo of the present Republican State rovolt, with out resort to "Democratic calumnies" for their explanation. Firt-The reasons given by Mr. George D. McCreary, Chairman of the Executive Com mittee of "Republicans and Independents" in 1SS5, why Mr. Quay should not be elected Stato Treasurer, touch part of this record, and may be urged w ith equal force against his re-election to tho United States Senate. Mr. McCreary is a regular Republican. He was nominated by the Republican party as Treasurer of Philadelphia, and was elected by a large majority. Mr. McCreary and his associates said in 18S5 of Mr. Quay: "He is the avowed chief of the Republican State machine, in defiance of the wishes of the great masses of Republicans." Second He is not only n boss politician, but an unscrupulous one. In 1879 he was the Intimate associate of men who attempted to bribe the Legislature to pass the shameful lour-mllllon-dollar Pennsylvania riot bill. The wrongdoers wero arrested, pleaded guilty to the infamous crime of bribery and were sentenced to be Imprisoned in the Stato penitentiary. A few days after sen tence Mr. Quay, for" reasons best known to himself, aided in pardoning the bribers and ect them free. The Recorder's Bill Recalled. Third The citizens of Philadelphia will be interested in remembering that the re corder's bill was passed in 1S78, and was so oppressively useless that it was soon after repealed, amid the Indignation of tho peo ple. Mr. Quay was appointed recorder and put $40,000 a year into his own pockets from taxes unjustly imposed on tho merchants and storekeepers of Philadelphia. It was the action of the Pardon Board by which the convicted bribers were released, and of which Mr. Quay was tue controlling spirit, that led to tho strongest denunciation ,from the Republican newspapers of that time the Philadelphia JVbrtA .American, Press, Lan caster JVetcEVa, New York 2Wbune andmany others. Fourth Tho charge ot the embezzlement of $250,000 or State funds brought against Mr. Quay by two leading newspapers of New York, If it were a calumny, could have been quickly disposed of had Mr. Quay seen fit to follow the course- which he recently pur sued when certain newspapers accused him falsely. A prompt suit for libel would have been an effective demonstration of inno cence. A request for testimony of alleged witnesses (of whom Hon. Wayne McVeagh was one) of tho evidence of his guilt woujd have satisfactorily disposed of the scandal. But Mr. Quay neither sued nor asked tho gentleman referred to to speak. Thus he seemed Republican defeat in tho State Gu bernatorial campaign of 169D, in which his public character was made the issue of the campaign. Quay's Own Record in Question. It is on account or the record that Mr. Quay has himself made that makes tho friends of good government and of tho Re publican party call for his retirement. Mr. Quay's party services, while apparently great on some occasions, as viewed from the narrow standpoint of momentary narty suc cess, are trifling when weighed in the bal ance with the Injury his record and methods have done the party's prestige and good name. These have caused thousands to waver In party alliance or to drop out of party ranks. His chairmanship of the National Repub lican Committee has certainly not pre- ented the reduction or tne ReDubllcan ma jority In the House of Representatives to a small minority. His control or the party in Pennsylvania, with its normal majority of 70 000, did not prevent the election of a Dem ocratic Governor in 1882 and 1890, and in the last election it was found necessary for Re publican organs and speakers to assure the voters that their candidates were of such lii"h character that thoy could not possibly have owed their nominations to Mr. Quay. Alleged Lack of Moral Ideas. Tho Republican party became great be cause it stood for "great moral ideas," but such Ideas in. Mr. Quay's public record are nilmions only by their absence. It is the conviction that he has become a hindrance J to his party, and that his political method are not in accord with public interest.'whioh has induced the Pennsylvania Republican. Association, the Keform Bopnbllcan League and thousands of other sincere Republicans to enlist their efforts to prevent his election, to the Senate which efforts there is excel lent reason to believe will prove successful, for Republicans have opened their eyes to the fact that true Republicanism and Quay ism cannot exist together. By order ot the Reform Republican League, Charles Richardson, Secretary. LITTLE EHODT'S BEPUELICAHS Hold Convention and Are Warned of Danger by Senator Hawley. Pkovidexce, B. L, March 15. Special The Republican State Convention met here this morning. Resolutions -were adopted denouncing free coinage, thanking Blaine and Harrison for reciprocity, and in dorsing Senator Aldrich. A resolution favoring the liquor men was lost in the committee room and could not be found. These nominations were made: P. Bussell Brown, of Providence, for Governor; Colonel Jfelville Bull, of Middletown, lor Lieutenant Governor; H. TJtter, of "West erly, lor Secretary of State (renominated); Robert Whurbank for Attorney General (renominated), and Samuel Clark for Treasurer (renominated.) Senators Aldrich and Hawley made speeches. The latter said: Wo have four majority in the United States &enute. Now. suppose it be possible lor lAivia n. inn to uo elected President which God forbid and you would have a House to correspond. There is danger of losing a Senator somewhere. There is some in Connecticut and a little over here in Rhode Island. Study what the Government would be with Hill as President and a Dem ocratic Senate. The questions of coinage and tariff we think we arc- right on, and we say lt,1 mean, except a fraction of the party in tho Western part of the country. We know where tho Democratic party is going, where it would go to-day if it coula. They feel the drift toward unlimited coinage. Now they aro saying a great deal, but what ever a Democratic Congress passes, Hill ap proves. The Democratic party has not the courage of its convictions. We are against free coinage, and we say it. We are against free trade, ana we say so, and we took the opportunitv at the last Congress to pass a stiong tariff bill. WHY CAMPBELL IS FOB CLEYELAITOl He Thinks the ChlcasoTUeetlng Will Be a Surprise Convention. CHlCAGO,3Iarch 14. Ex-Governor James E. Campbell, of Ohio, cannot see any hope lor Senator Hill. "The Southern trips will probably strengthen him," said he to-day, "but it is impossible for me to see where he can get enough votes to secure a nomina tion. I am for Cleveland, not because I in dulge myself in hero worship, but because I believe the Democratic party desires his nomination. He is the best representative of Democratic principles we could select from the many men we have who would make good executive officers. He repre sents the reforms the Democrats are de manding, and for these reasons I think he is the man to nominate. "The Ohio State delegation, I believe, will be largely for Cleveland. Hill may have some of the districts, but the majority will prefer Cleveland. It is not at all cer tain that either Cleveland or Hill will be nominated. In fact, it is quite probable that the nomination will be given to a West ern man. There arc plenty of able and de sirable men in tho West, and perhaps it will prove a way to combine the factions in New York. It is likely that it will be a. convention of surprises, and then is no tell ing who will be the successful man." EITTEE STRUGGLE IN YOBK. Two Factions of Nearly Equal Strength Meet With a Clash.

The refusal of the Legislature yesterday to invite Senator Hill to make a speech to the Texas Legisla ture is construed as a defeat for the State administration, as the organs and friends of Governor Hogg have been lond advocates of Senator Hill. An informal caucus of Mills' friends has reveajed the conviction that Mills has now 72 votes, three more than necessary to elect. If this situation is changed before the 22d, which is the day ot election, it will be due to administration influences. Not Mnch of a Gerrymander. Albany, N. Y., March 15.

HARRISONJS SHAKY On the Question of Signing the Free Coinage Bill if Passed by Congress. HE BELIES ON THE SENATE To Extricate Him From an Unpleas ant Ante-Election Dilemma. INTERESTING STATE UP AFFAIRS. What the President Said of Speaker Eeed at a Similar Stage. POSSIBILITI OF PLATING WITH FIRE rSPXClAL TEMORAM TO THE UISPATCB.1 Washington, March 15. While the silver biJL of 1890 was in the House, and Speaker Reed had to strain every nerve to keep a free coinage amendment from going through that body, the relations between him and the President were so strained as to cause many to fear that he might at some time conclude to step aside and let things take their course. He did not, and the act which is now in force went into the statute J book as a monument to the perfection of discipline in the Republican party. A lit tle comedy, however, went on behind the curtain, which tbe publio was not permitted to witness, but which was not without its significance. Somebody repeated "to the President a remark of Mr. Reed that he could not understand the silence of a Chief Magistrate in such a crisis. "He ought to take hold of this thing with a firm grip," the Speaker was quoted as saying. "It is unfair lor him to sit down with his hands in his lap doing nothing for himself and trusting to his friends at the Capitol, all unassisted, to keep his adminis tration from shipwreck. What would hap pen if we should go our way and leave him to his fate?" The President to Speaker Reed. The lids of the President's eyes, which are never very wide apart, came closer together than ever as these words were re peated to him. "You may say to Mr. Reed," he re sponded promptly, "that I trust he won't overexert himself throwing life-lines in my direction." The delivery of this message, in spite of the President's outward appearance of in difference to the gravity ot the situation, gave the honest money men of both parties fresh heart of hope. Thev interpreted it to mean, and it undoubtedly did mean, that Mr. Harrison was prepared for any outcome ot the struggle in Congress, and that he might be depended upon to do his obvious duty at whatever cost There is reason for fearing that the confi dence then cherished has begun to leak out of the Congressional breast. The buoyant assurance which every honest money advo cate then seemed to feel has, at any rate, given place to a much more subdued senti ment. The phrase, "Oh, the President is all right," is less frequentlv heard, and in its stead are heard such cautions expres- sions'as:. "it is pretty sate to sav that the President would not sign, the bill if Con gress should pass it" Possibilities of a Compromise, Rumors are renewed' that Mr. Harrison would be open to offers of compromise on a basis which -would preserve his outward dignity of attitude, and at the same time pacify the free-coinage faction; but none of these stories is sufficiently circumstantial to warrant a belief in its authenticity. There's really no good cause to suspect that the President has changed front on the silver question. There is the best of evi dence, however,' that he is feeling very ner vous just now over the prospect of the pas sage of the Bland bill through the House, next week. He lias shown how his mind is working by the questions he has asked of members oi Congress who have had occa sion to call on him since his return from his latest gunning trip. He is convinced, from the reports conveyed to him, that the bill is sure of going through the House in spite of all that its foes can do to head it off, and his anxiety is now copcerned with the Senate. A Republican Senator of some promi nence is quoted as the authority for a state ment made in the course of private conver sation the other day, and not intended to get into print, that the President had sent? a message directly to one or two of his friends in the Senate that "it was time now for them to move if they expected to keep a free coinage act from passing. Everything With the Senate. "Everything rests with you," he is said to have added, "for there is no telling what may happen if you take your hands oft the lever for an instant" These words may have either of two meanings,and possibly the President framed his message eo as to leave its precise in terpretation in doubt From one point of view, they mean merely that the men ad dressed owe it to their party as good Re publicans not to let the House act go through the Senate, since it might give the Republicans on the stump a hard time to explain away the fact that the Republican Senate was quite as ready to adopt free coinage as tne Democratic House. From another point of view, they may mean that the President himself has had his purpose unsettled by the pressure brought to bear upon him, and that, on the verge of an im portant election, he might not leel as much at liberty to follow his consciepce as he did when the struggle of parties was still two years in the future. Although all who know the President best are disposed to put the first of these constructions upon his message, the fact that it is capable of more than one inter pretation has contributed decidedly to the discomfort of his sponsors in the Senate. They would be vastly better satisfied if he would not try to play the sphinx, but would announce in unmistakable Englishjust what his intentions are. A Number of Wobbling Senators. The reason he does not do so is, unques tionably, because that would lift the load of personal responsibility off the shoulders of some ot the men in the Senate who are wobbling more or less on the silver issue. It they felt absolutely certain that, no matter what they did, the act would not become a law, they would be tempted to play with fire and vote for it This would enable them to explain their position later to the presdmptive satisfaction of both wings of their party. The whole onus for the defeat of the act would fall, in the minds of the free coinage people of the country, upon the President, and might even imperil his nomination a consummation which would not cause a sleepless night to three men in the Senate, but which would be sadly disap pointing to the principal sufferer.. Thus far the President's play at mystery has had a bad rather than a good eflect It has not stimulated the honest money Re pnblicans nearly so much as it has encour aged the pro-silver and anti-administration forces. - THE WHITE HOUSE AUIOCBAT Celebrates His Fifth Birthday .With Music by the Karlne Band. 1 Washington, March 15.

Special During the discussion "of Judge Woods' nomination in an executive session of the Senate to-day, another effort was made to abolish the secret session system. The Democrats are desirous of getting into the Eecord some of the statements which have been brought out in connection with Judge Woods and the part he is alleged to have played in the "blocks of five" transaction in the last Presidental campaign. Senator "Voorhees reviewed at length Judge Woods' political Tecord and his connection with W. W. Dudley and the "blocks of five" trans action. While the Indiana Senator was speaking several of the Republicans moved over and took seats on tbe Democratic side of the chamber, and at freauent intervals inter jected questions which seemed to inspire Senator Voorhees with extra violence in his attack upon Indiana Republicans and their methods in political battles. He was especially desirous that the consideration of this case and, in fact, all similar cases should be conducted with open doors. He wanted the country to know tbe reputation of some of the men who came before the Senate with Presidental appointments, ob tained for corrupt political services ren dered.

MRS. HETHERINGTON'S STORY. SHE SIDES WITH HER HUSBAND AGAINST SIB. ROBINSON. The Murdered Man Had Forced His At tentions 'Upon Her Beyond Farther Endurance Hee Mother Writes to sr Personal JTXIen&StfSCribing' the En counter. Franklin, March 15. Exrfai A let ter was received by a personal friend in this city to-day from the mother of Mrs. Lieu tenant Hetherington, wife of the naval officer who shot and killed Gower Robinson in the streets of Yokohama on the 12th of last month. The letter gives many facts in connection with the tragedy that have never been published. It states that soon after Mrs. Hetherington' arrived in Yokohama she met Robinson at a social gathering, and he from the very first began paying her attentions that set the gossips talking. Finally his actions became so thoroughly distasteful that she was forced to censure him, but he continued to force himself into herpresence whenever possible. When her husband arrived Mrs. Hetherington told him what had occurred. The husband at once sought out Robinson and asked him to explain his conduct Robinson apologized and said he would leave the country, and did so, but kept writing letters to Mrs. Hetherington. Receiving no answer, he re turned to Yokohama and tried to see the lady, but failed. The same day Lieutenant Hetherington, who had been informed of Robinson's re turn, met the latter driving through the streets and called to him to stop. This Robinson refused to do, and the angered husband ran 'into the road and, seizing the horses' heads, brought them to a standstill. Robinsou made a vulgar and sneering re mark, when the Lieutenant drew a revolver and shot him twice, inflicting wounds from which Robinson died in about three hours. The mother said that stories ot Mrs. Heth rington's flirting and heartlessness are em phatically denied by leading English and American ladies now in Yokohama. The broken-down wife has been in strict retire ment since the shooting, and her letters to her mother give every evidence of how keenly she feels the position in which she has been placed. She savs there is no donbt that her husband ,will be acquitted, A 4-YEAR-OLD MARVEL Xittle Marie Barlow, of Illinois, Exhibits Wonderful Musical Talent.

It is little Marie Barlow, daughter ot Gus and Fannie Barlow, of Danville. Though but i years of age little Marie plays the piano with perfect correctness, can carry the tune of most anything she hears, from "Home, Sweet Home," to Beethoven's and Schu bert's compositions. She began at 2 years of age, using one hand only, and at 3 years and 6 months began with both hands. She has a Dure lezato touch in fingering; and can play the major and minor scale in any key correctly. She will play an air and then play "the minor to the same tune. She also blinds her eyes, and when any chord is struck can so at once to the instrument and place her fingers on the keys sounded. Besides being so wonderful an instrumentalist, 'Marie recites well and sings delightfully.

TSLEGBAM TO TBJt DISPATCH.1 New Yoek, March 15. Mrs. Frederika Schindler, wife of Charles A. Schindler, a hatter, was complainant to-day at Jefferson Market Court against Dr. Henry Dickin son, Jr., who is charged with having writ ten malicious and annoying letters to Schindler, reflecting on his wife's character. For the past three weeks agents from various life insurance companies have been calling at the Schind lers' house, in reference to letters received by them saying that Mrs. Schindler wished to have her life insured, and asking that an agent be sent to make the necessary arrange ments. As neither Mr. nor Mrs. Schindler had written any such letters they were at a loss to understand the matter. At the same time, Schindler began to get anonymous notes at his store, saying that his wife was untrue to him. Once or twice after receiving such notes he would go home and find one of the insurance agents at the house, whereupon his suspicions were aroused, and a coldness sprang up be tween him and his wife.' Mrs. Schindler, after having been called upon by a number of insurance agents, asked them to bring her the notes they had received. In this way she obtained possession of half a dozen of the notes, all in the same handwriting, and all purporting to be signed by herself or her husDana. Eun Down by His Handwriting. She showed the notes to Schindler, who thereupon brought out his anonymous let ters, and the handwriting on all the envel opes was found to be identical. In one of the anonymous letters received on March 2 was a card with the name, "H. Dickinson, Jr., M. D." It inclosed the following per sonal: At home Call any day agreeable, not after 1 r. 2i. Fkask. The letter itself read: Curse a wife who is untrue. Yours has lied to you and is deceiving you. Keep cool ana you win catcu some man wnn ner yec See personal. The letter also contained the key to the front room in the Schindlers' house, which had been rented a few days previous to a young man who had paid a month's rent in advance, slept in the room one night and then had disappeared. Mrs. Schindler com pared the writing on the enyelopes in her possession with that of some old letters which she had received from JJickinsOD, and concluded that she had discovered the writer. The Doctor Taken by Surprise. Inspector Byrnes was informed of the case, and to-day at 6 o'clock Detective Ser geant Ivanhoe arrested the doctor as he came out of the door of 192 Lexiugton ave nue. He carried a satchel, and said that he was called to Philadelphia on urgent medi cal business. He seemed surprised when told that he was under arrest At Jefferson Market Justice Brady held him in 5500" for examination, and paroled him in the custody of his counsel. The acquaintance between Dickinson and Mrs. Schindler began in the summer of 1887, when the latter, then Frederika Leon hardt, was crossing the Atlantic on a steamer of which Dickinson was ship's doctor. Within a few months afterward they became engaged, but the marriage was put off from time to time because Dickinson said he had not money enough to marry on. At length, after the engagement had lasted four years, Charles Schindler,a young widower, fell in love with Frederika and offered her marriage. She went to Dickin son and said she would go with him the next day to a minister and get married, but unless he would marry her then she would marry Mr. Schindler. Toole Her Lover's Advice. Dickinson advised her to take Schindler, whereupon the girl gave him back her en gagement ring, and on May 30, 1891, one month after, became Mrs. Schindler. A Dispatch reporter saw the letters to day at the Schindlers' house, and the ad dress on all tbe enyelopes was very much alike. It corresponded also with Dicein son's signature written in court to-day. Mrs. Schindler said to-dav: "There is no doubt in my mind that Dr. Dickinson is the writer of the letters to the insurance com panies and also bf the anonymous letters to my husband. Besides tthat, I think that he has been watching me or having me watched. One of his letters inclosed a key to the front room which I rented some weeks ago to a young man who gave his name as Henry Hamilton. He paid me one month's rent in advance, and never slept in the room after the first night, nor did he return the key. If I am not mis taken, that young man was from Chappaqua, where Dr. Dickinson's family live. When we were encaged, I used to go out there. I don't want to have him put in prison. AH I want is to have this annoyance stopped." The Doctor's Tlsorous Denial. Dr. Dickinson denies any knowledge of the letters by which the Schindlers have been caused so much trouble. "Why should I have written them?" he asked of a re porter to-day. "Frederika and I parted on friendly terms and I have no wish to annoy her. Besides, the fact that my card was in closed in one of the letters shows that some one is trying to get me into trouble, for I would not be fool enough to inclose my card. I did not know I had an enemy in the world." Dr. Dickinson comes of a Quaker family of Chappaqua. He is about 40 years old. He will be brought up for examiaation on Friday. LEASE SIGNERS WORKED UP. Anthracite Coal Operators Will Confer With the Governor To-Day. Wilkesbabke, March 15. A company of 20 or 30 coal operators, representing the private coal interests of the Wyoming Valley, Jeft here this morning for Harris burg to hold a conference with Governor Pattison to urge upon him the desirability of the leases between the Port Beading combine and the individual operators. They have nearly all signed the lease and are ap parently satisfied that it will prove a good thing for them. Under the old conditions they secured on an average 1 75 per ton net for coaL Subtracting from this the (1 25 cost of mining and 25 cents royalty, it the latter should be as low as that, 25 cents per - ton was a profit fair enough in case of no exrensive repairs. Under the new leases it is understood the Reading Company offers 6Q per cent on the market price for all sizes of coal above pea, and this would yield from 20 to 30 cents more per ton to the operators. For coal above 53 60 and to higher prices, different percentanes are arranged. The Wyoming and Lakawanna private operators believe that they will reap more benefits from the new arrangement than those of the Lehigh region. There was considerable hesitancy among individual operators as to signing the leases, many holding out for a guaran teed yearlv output; but after a certain num ber had signed the others were forced to do so for self-protection.

WOMEN, IT LADIES Are the Need of the Hour in America, Accorrjing to Mrs. Charlotte Smith. A FEMININE SENSATION Caused hy Her Appearance at Madame Yale's Beauty lecture. A CHALLENGE FROM THE STAGE Besnlts in the Capture of the meeting br an Occupant of a Box. BOTH AEEAFTEEHES.POTTEEPALMIE The controversy inaugurated in Wash ington City last week between Madame Yale and Mrs. Charlotte Smith, as to whether cosmetics are deleterious, was un expectedly transferred yesterday to the stage of the Opera House in Pittsburg. Madame Yale had announced, for Tues day afternoon, a free lecture with a coupon attachment for trans forming a 75-year-old woman into a marvel of youth and beauty. For one week there had been a stream of women at the theater and at Madame's rooms demand ing tickets. At 2 o'clock yesterday there wasn't a vacant seat left in the house. There were many present who must have parted with youth, if not beauty, half a century go. ,., ""-uoolgirls were there by the score also. ,.' rst concomitant of the afternoon's J (ainment to make its appearance was a i :r, which Madame Yale has" invented, and which is the first milestone traveled over in the search for the restorer of youth. It stood on a table at the side of the stage and steamed and sizzled away contentedly, while the feminine audience gazed as though they expected pretty women to drop out of its spout A few minutes later a young look ing woman, with a pile of pretty blonde hair, a cleverly made up complexion, ex quisite arms and throat, and dressed so as to display them, entered carrying a big bunch of La France roses. A Success in Her Own Case. The young-looking woman was the famous wrestler with wrinkles, freckles and the other enemies that would undermine a woman's beauty. She bowed, sauntered across the stage so that a full view of her method as applied to herself could be ob tained, and then began a preliminary ex planation? Early in life she had showed premonitions of what her future should be. She was born with a desire for chemistry and dermatology. Next she promised to cure wrinkles, and gave a history of their career, but not the story ot the remedy. Then she scored freckles, mowed down moths' heads, gave a deadly thrust to black heads and ended by assuring the audience that she saw professional beau- ' ties in embryo by the dozens in the hsuse. At this point Madame Yale's tongue be gan to wander in the direction of her inven tion, while her glance was directed toward one of the right hand boxes where sat a quiet looking woman with iron gray hair, an interesting face and dressed in black. Madame Yale paused, looked again and then said slowly: "I see in a box in this theater a famous woman, one whom you all know, doubtless. 1 call upon Charlotte Smith to come forward and define her po sition, if she can, here as she did before the House Committee on Agriculture, in Wash insrton. last week. The sudden switching from" cosmetics to a challenge electrifi'd the house, and every eye was turned on the box where the quiet lady sat, head down, quivering with sur prise and emotion, aud altogether a picture of disconcerted embarrassment "Take up the challenge, Mr. Smith," called out a woman who had quickly grasped the situation. A Protest From the Box. "I am not prepared," gasped she. "It's unfair of Madame Yale to do this. I came in here quietly, not knowine that she even guessed I was here. She has no right to do this." And Mrs. Smith shook more vigor ously than ever. ''I again ask Mrs. Smith to come on this platform and tell this audience her views," cried Madame Yale. Then Mrs. Smith rose, and piloted by a volunteer committee, was shown round to the stage door and in another moment was on the stage. She was embarrassed, visibly agitated and her voice was trembling, but the effect was electrical. Eloquent in spite of the inauspiciousness of the occasion, in an instant she had swayed her audience and every eye followed the nlain. black robed fisnre ana every ear bent to listen, while Madame Yale, youth.beauty and the boiler were forgotten. Mrs. Smith didn't attack Madame Yale's cosmetics in particular, but she paid her respects to every cosmetic that had poison ous ingredients in its make-up. Then she jumped right into the breach, became Madame Yale's adherent and ripped the World.Fair Committee fore and ait Queen Isabella was eulogized as a woman and Mrs. Potter Palmer the great Ipse Bixit of the "Lady Board of Managers" received a severe dressing as a lady. Women Wanted, Not Ladles. "We don't want ladies, we want women," cried Mrs. Smith. "We want industries represented, not society. If that boiler there is worthy of a place in the World's Fair, if Madam Yale's cosmetics are what is pretended of them, then we want them to have a place in the World's Fair instead of Mrs. Potter palmer s toreign cosmetics." Mrs. Smith made several telling points, the audience breaking in on each occasion with applause, and upon retiring approval in the lorm ot clapping and stamping fol lowed her. Madam Yale continued her address, but the eyes of the people were continuously turned toward the box where Mrs. Smith had reseated her self. Mrs. Smith afterward explained the position she had taken in detail to a Dispatch representative. In brief it is this: At first opponents in the matter of cosmetics, that is cosmetics con taining poisonous matter versus pure food, Mrs. Smith and Madame Yale have united in a common cause against Mrs. Potter Pal mer. Madam Yale wrote to Mrs. Palmer for space in which to exhibit her cosmetics. Mrs. Palmer, through her secretary, wrote back that cosmetics were debarred, and that, therefore, Madam Yale could have no ex hibition of her concoctions. Mrs. Smith heard that Mrs. Palmer had arranged to ex hibit a foreign cosmetic, and thereupon she and Madam Yale ceased their civil strife to combine in protecting borne industries. Mrs. Palmer comes to Washington to ask an appropriation, but has not got it yet owing to Mrs. Smith's meddling. Mrs. Palmer denies writing a refusal to Madam Yale, and Charlotte Smith retorts by shak ing the letter in Mrs. Palmer's face. In ad dition to all this Mrs. Smith intimates that the foreign cosmetic manufacturer gives up $100,000 for the privilege of space in the women's department.
