Tan New Woman's Jina-oiam The following extract is taken from a lecture by Colonel George W. liain of Lexington, Kv., on "The New Woman and the Old Man:" "The question of the new woman is as yet unsettled, and wholly beyond the power of arbitration. Like Great Brit ain, the new woman is continually en larging hT barriers. Fonie think that the Monroe doctrine should Le applied to her case, thai she should be made to Xirove ber title to ber claitrx I say thai sOv?r -iff months she las twenty -three pounds. We did everyihing pcfc.it le foe her, and she had the best ot medical treatment. "Several skilled physicians attended hir, but no teneiit was apparent. A family fresd visiting us, told how her daughter had teen sinvlarly affecUd, but cured by Dr. Villiams Fink Fills ioe Pale Peop'e. "She urg;d us to try the pills, and we finally consented. "We have always rejoiced" that we did. "The pills helped Lucy at once, and afler taking eight boxes she was entirely cured. -v "She is now in perfect health, strong, weighs ten pounds more than ever teiore, and her cheeks art full of color. " Two years of schooling were missed on acccuat of ill health, but new are can fratify her ambition to study and beccrr.e an educated woman." The reason that Dr.Vill-t its Pink Pills for Pale People were helpful in the above case, is that they are composed cf vegeta ble remedies which act directly on the impure blood, the foundation of disease. As the blood rushes through all parts of the body, the cenveyer of geed or bid bcal;h, it is necessary that it should be pure, rich and red. Dr. Villiams' Fink Fills build rp the blood by supplying its Lfe givmc elements which nourishes me various organs, stim ulating them to activity in the perform ance of their functions and tl'us drives disease from the system. The pills are in Bnivcrsal deauad and sold by all druggists. ft is man who is responsible for the new woman. Woman is a domestic creafure instinctively. In years pone fcy she was content .o stay at home, to cook, to sew, to miud the house and the children. But man entered her spheie with his inventions aud now woman roast go out iuto the world for new employment. The woman's hand roust have occupa tion ncless yon can arrest her intellect, w hich yon can 110 mure do than you can arrest her tongue. There was never any question as to the right or propriety of man's entering woman's sphere, save rt:!y that he should sntmit to the test which the law of capacity administers in her world as in roan's. Must women, then, be doomed to the life of a modern sphinx? Never. God rales on with a driving force which hastens the progress net only of man, hut of woman, and a urawing furc oX U-.Uit wa&cs And great opportunity has been created by that I mgr. ss for the woman. And the new woman is not alow to take advantage of it. "The woman's influence upon the world is often as strong and lasting as the roan's. Abraham Lincoln did scarce n.ore to overthrow the institution of slaverv than did Harriet BeerberStowe. If the woniau is fitted to look after the business, I say, let her do it, and let the man stay at borne and nurse his nerves. If the roan's strength lies in bis leg and the woman's in her eloquence and intellect, then let each fill his sphere, be upon the football field, and she in the pnlj it or at the bar. Don't be un easy about a woman's unsexing" herself, irue has entered 200 professions and businesses in the last 100 years and has not done so yet." Imported Go was. "Now," said the shepper to the roan who knew, "I should like to know vhat bt-umes of all the imported gow ns I see hern. They tre imported powns too. I ;.n sie that with half tin eye. I know an imported gown t well to be de ceived. Von can always tell a French frock ty its good 6tyle and slipshod wink. Eut what interests me is to know what becomes of all the imported frowns I sxe here. Thry are beautiful and expensive, ar.d only a few people can afford to buy them, and tbosa peo ple are the ones who can afford the most expensive things of all kinds, and they imptirt their own gowne or have them made here by the best modistes, and they are certainly not going to 1 j"y gowns that every one bas bad a chance to see in a shop. "The only thing lean think ci is that these are actresses' gowns, and they possibly do not mind the public having a view of them." "You are not so very far wrong in yonr general ideas," said the roan, with a laugh, "but you are not quite right The gowns yon see are imported, but they are not actresses' gowns. The firms here import them and have the priv ilege of keeping tlieni lor a month or six weeks. If they sell them, so much the better, but if not, they return them and get a new stock, and it is a great attraction in the showroom." "Yes, it's an attraction," s&id the woman, "for I always go where I can have a chane-e to see a real French gown. "Eut there is one thing I do not teed to have yon tell me, " she went on, "aud that is that all the swell pow us I see in cases in some of the shops ara not new. Those gowns have long lives. I have seen a gown when it was first trongbt in fresh and new; I liave sein it a second season, a little furbished up, and I have seen it a third year, still further altered. I know too much about refurbishing a rwell pown to make it as pood as new to be deceived, oroe vf these gowns may live to be more than three ye-ars old, but that they do reach that age I axu sure."

It is the only city iu tho country so far as known where a nocking echoed bas been established and successfully con ducted which bas for its lasis the equality ef mistress and maid. Both classes are received s pupils, but the school is no respecter of persons, and the mistress of a mansion with a retinue of servants finds herself touching elbows at the cokiug school with Bridget from ber own kitchen and borrowing or lend ing "a pinch of salt" nr "a piece of butter the size tf an egg" or otherwise exchanging cooking school civilities With great equanimity. rxhools of this sort have been fonuded in many cities, but all of them have been short lived. The inevitable stum bling blmk bas beeu apparently the want of tact in management. The mixed classes have been a failure in most cases from the start. The Domestic Science school of Syra cuse was opened two years ago by tbs Household Economic club. Classes in cooking were formed, and the society women joined them and got their cooks a i I bcuseniaids to join with them.

I want to tell about a most delicious take couexxtien I have lately encounter ed for the first time. It was a revelation of what a cake can Le and good enough to venture giving for- the benefit of those who have not met with it as yet It is jast the riht thing for serving at -.hi season at a luncheon or a high tea. or as an arsonipisuiment to iced tea er ooffee, or in fact whatever cake would I- prstefel It certainly m dream ct a rnxe. The first requisite is a ring cake mold like a ring jelly mold, but the center bole roust not be too larg nd the tin niust be rather deep so that the cake will stand high on tho plato on which it is served. The mixture fer the cake may I made from any good, rich choc olate cake rceipt we all have our particular favorites, and they are all alike in general principles, consisting of a good sponge cake mixture, with nelted ediocolate added toward the end of the stirring to give the necessary fla Tor and richness. When the cake is bak ed, it is turned out us snon as possibln on tn the platter or j late on which it i served and tlicu covered with a rich ebncolate icing, the si ft kind which penetrates into the cake as well as cov ering the outside. And then comes the finishing touch that gives this especial delicacy its character, which is sweeten ed whipped cream that fills the hole in side of thj ring of cake. While simple enough to make and prcparo the com bination of the hot chocolate cake and the whipped cream is really ideal, and I roost certainly advise any cite who bas not tasted it already to try it. I know whievtr dres will want to do so a second time. Harper's Bazar. OiTCea for Babiea. VNow is the time," Bays an eminent medical authority on children's dis eases, "fcr mothers to kee'p their babies out of doors all tho day long when the weather is decently fine. Let the little cues, shielded from sun and diaft, take their naps out e-f doors. Even in north ern latitudes they may safely sleep in the open air in the daytime until Thanksgiving, and frequently even lat er than this. Children thus treated will have little susceptibility to colds, sore throats, etc, and will withstand almost any disease. "Parents seem to forget that children are torn with the hunger and need for pleuty of oxygen. It is not less essen tial than their food. Two or three hours on pleasant days is utterly insufficient for expanding lnngs, yet it is all that the majority cf babies get Twelve htrars is none too much this season, and there is scarcely a day in the whole year when they may not be taken out. "A remarkable instance of the results of this practice has conte into roy own personal experience. There is, by the way, no such thing as inherited disease, only inherited tendencies, and these 'tendencies' may be successfully com bated by commanding proper conditions. The child of one of roy patients directly inherited tuberculosis from- both sides of the family and was a very delicate iufaut. The parents, however, bad the courage to adopt this trcatrue'nt, and from its birth kept it out of doors prac nclly all tbe daytime. Now, at the i-ge if 6, it is a child of uncommon vig ct. Out' can of course establish this hab it cmly in mild weather, and now is the roost favorable season. " Escbauge. iood Work of the Travelers' Aid Societies.

W0 POPULAR VERDICT ; ATMliOTBOX Tho Late State Campa-'ga and the Significance of Colonel William A. Stone's Election. I HE PE0PL11 HAVE SPOKEN. The Guerrtlli Method of Jotau Wan- amalter nd SH- Swallow Hav- ISeeii It. ....lltt by th overrun Voter- ..f I-enn-vrlvanln. Wh ' Itcnnirmed Their lvotkou to Kc- publU-an Principle". (Special Corresporelfnce.) HarrUburir. Nov. ir..-The battle of the ballots has been fought and won. Colonel William A. Stone has been chosen governor of Pennsylvania by a majority ol 119.328 over George A. Jenks. the Democratic nominee. Such a majority under ordinary clrcum-stan.-es would be remarkable. Under exisiinc IrrumMan.-.-s. unsldrrtnir tho character of the campaign waged, tbe majority Is a phenomenal one. Genuine republicanism has been vin dicated, and Ruerrllla methods, as ap plied t- political warfare, have been repudiated. The tlsht asalnst Culone-1 Ptone was conceived In vindictiveness ar.d born In hatred. The day following; John Wan amaker's defeat for the United States eenate. In January, 1S37. he registered a vow to deatroy. If possible, the po litical leaders whom he held responsible for his undoinjr. even though It should be necessary to smash the ltepublican party to bring atsout that result. A procram was outlined and agreed upon, and the campaign for vengeance was begun. A newspaper and literary bu reau was established at Jiarrisburg. and the work of "educating" the peo ple was begun. Information was sent out day after daj regarding the movements of thore members of the legislature who had not voted for Mr. Wanamaker. facts being distorted, mis representation being Indulged In. and falsehood being resorted to whenever everything else failed. This u kept up until the cloe of the session In July of that year. As the Inevitable result of this sort of work, continued day af ter day. the minds of Jhe people I came Impregnated with the poison. In sidiously Instilled Into them, until, when the legislature adjourned, the public was disposed to believe It thf most corrupt and extravagant body that had ever met at Harrlsburg. whereas It was not one whit worse thn any one of Its predecessors, and. so tar as extravagance went, not nearly s 1 bad as' the legislature of 1SS5, Immedi ately preceding. That was the first chapter In the VVanarnaker campaign of vengeance. The neWfparer and literary bureau was continued, one of the shrewdest newr-paper men In Pennsylvania being In charge. Week' after week the smut mills of the Wanamaker bureau ground out the po!on throughout the balance, of 1S9T and until the close of the polls on the Sth of November cf the presrr.t year, such Interior state newspapers as were under the crntro! of or In sym pathy with the Wanamaker program being: the vehicle thrcush which the vile stuff reached the people. The second stage of the conspiracy was attained early in 1S98. when It was determined to defeat Colonel William A. Stone for the governorship. If at nil possible. No serious effort was put forth at the primaries to elect dele gates, but a bluff fight was made In the Interest of Mr. Wanamaker. simply to create public Fentiment against Col onel Ftone. to be used later on. after the rtate convention, for the benefit of Swa tow or of the Democratic nominee, as might be deemed best, at the proper time for d-cislon. But a difficulty confronted the cabal of Wanamaker schemers. After thi most critical scrutiny of Colonel Stone's public record and private life, both, were found to be absolutely without a flaw. In no poss.ble manner could there be any personal assault made upon him.- nor was there throughout the memorable campaign Just closed. There never was another such con spicuous case. Even Colonel Roose velt, the Republican gubernatorial can didate In New York, was viciously as sailed upon personal grounds, but Col onel Stone was not. Mr. Wanamaker and bis henchman were In desperation, compelled to resort to the silly expedi ent of piling upon Colond Stone's barW all the sins of commission and omis sion, real and manufactured, of the last legislature, in spite of the fact that his duties as a member of con gress kept him continuously In Wash-? Ington. preventing him. had he been otherwise dls-posed. from making a sin gle visit to Harrishurg while the legr lslature of 1x37 was In session. From the moment of Colonel Stone's nomination for governor. In June last, up to the close of the polls a week ago. he was made the ta.-get of the mud guns mounted behind the earth works of the Wanamaker burt-au. and this was supplemented by the oratorjoal tirades cf Mr. Wanamaker, Dr. Swal low and the smaller fry from th! stump. In nearly every county, more over, the Republican candidates for the legislature were asaalleJ. despite the fact that out of nominees only 73 were members of the last legislature, and of these only 50 had voted for Mr. Penrose for the United States senate. Not content with vilifying CoIonH Stone and the Republican candidates fcr the state senate and house of representatives, the mud bat teries of the opposition were leveled agalnrt Senator Quay, loaded to the muzzle with vituperation, misrepre sentation and falsehood, the brutal at tacks upon him culminating in hi.' sensa'lonal arrest, for political effect, I days before the election. The combined work of the notoriou; literary bureau and cf Mr. Wanamaiei and Dr. Swallow upon the stump wai s-upplememed by the support of fou Philadelphia, morning papers TUt Press. The Times, The Ledger and Th Ilecord, to each one of whom Mr. Wan amaker pays yearly $10,000 for the sis column store advertisement which ap-. pears six days each week In thes papers. Iiut ail of these ag.-ncif-s were of lit. tie continence compared with tnat finally reortcd to, ta wit; the employ, rnent of vast sums of money at th clos of the canvass and on election day. As Is well Known, Mr. Wanamaker la a multl-mllllonalre, he being worth, so It Is undi'rstood. about $15.X0 000. He Is a free spender, as was demonstrated In his campaign for the United States renate two years ago, and his agents sre not too particular as to methods it expenditure, as will appear by ref erence to the court records of Schuyl kill county. In the famous Van Valken burg case. It was toward the close of the cam paign that the Wanamaker barrel was tapped, and its contents distributed throughout the state, "where they would do the most good." Filially came the ih of November, a i"ay Ions to be remembered. The 2ay cf the scandal monger, the political li beler, the public falsifier, was over! The day of the plain, everyday voter was at hand! Every form ot misrep resentation and deception, written, printed and spoken, had been Indulged In for months, but the case was now before the most majestic Jury upon earth the voters themselves, face to face with the ballot box. The verdict of that Jury is known to all men. Ry a vote cf almost half a million freemen I73.06ii. to be exact being 119,3i6 more than the vote given Ms nearest comietitor, Mr. Jenks Colonel William A. Stone has been chosen chief magistrate of the old Key stone state. As the result cf thlsx ver dict, moreover, a legislature has been elected In which the Republican ma jority la overwhelming almost two to ne. Indeed. And thus have the sovereign peopl spokvn; and, in speaking, they have repudiated Joha Wanamaker, Silas C. Swallow and the whole coterie of d-m-fogues, who, for weeks, have traveled up and down the state, maligning their fellow citizens and seeking to over throw Rrubllcanim in the citadel of Its strength. The campaign of ven geance has coma to nausht. The Ke publican party of Pennsylvania emerges from the contest stronger than ever. And-Governor Stone and the Incoming legislature will demonstrate to the peo ple of the Mate that the affairs of gov ernment and legislation are safe In r.e oubllcan hands.
