MacDowell
Wherever the beauty and thepower that mark true musical artare appreciated there the works ofEdward A MacDowell have made alasting impression He was the soulof honor and of poetry
MacDowells genius showed itselfwhen he was a mere child At theage of ten he left New York hisnative city to study in Paris Itwas proposed to make him profes-
sor of pianoforte at the Conservatory of Frankfort when he was onlytwenty years old and the proposalhad the support of Raff but antagonistic influences defeated him andto some extent pursued him ever
after It was his lot to suffer aswell as to succeed
The encouragement that lacDowell was happy to extend to studentswill now give way to the inspiration-that rises from his beautiful works
The Way of Woman-
In 1003 a quaint book calledCourtship Love and Matrimony
appeared from an English pressEven way beck there the ladysprivilege was well understood Says
this literary jewelAlbeit is nowe become part of
the common Lawe in regard to thesocial relashuns of life that asof ten as evry Bissextile year dothreturn the Ladys have the soleprivilege during the time it continueth of making love unto the menwhich they may doe either byworde or lookes as unto them itseemeth proper And moreover noman will be entitled to the benefitof the clergy who doth refuse to accept the offers of the Lady whodoth in any wise treat her proposals with slight or contumely

In a willowy lissomecreature rejoicing in the name ofVillin we will call her thus isforming a club of grass widows
How we mayprofltbyand not get lemonized next timeis the fundamental idea underlying-the club according to Mrs WillinShe proposes that the members talkover in friendly chat their weddedexperience so that next time if itcomes they will know better
I was handed a whole crate oflemons in my last experience and Iwant to help start a club wherethose of us who have suffered maymeet in a social way and help eachother so that we may not be nippedagain says Mrs Willin
This lady cannot fool us we arefully persuaded the Grass WidowsClub is a fell design to take somemean underhanded advantage ofthe uncaptured and unsuspectingmales in its neighborhood
Still we wish the girls emanci-
pated for twelve months joy andsuccess in their quest
The Upward Climb
Recently there was a Greek inNew York city His name wasMenas Several years ago he was apoor pushcart fruitthrough the streets Up and downthe alleys and the byways in therain and the snow and the heatsometimes sick and sometimes wellragged haggard often hungry andweary and covered with dustMenas drew his cart There aremany such in the swarming hives offoreigners in this great RepublicYou have seen them Look at thenext one who passes He is nothing-to is only a poor pushcartman He doesnt differ from Menasexcept in one thing
Menas had a dream and he fol-
lowed a star AS he toiled alongday in and day out for a decade healways dreamed the dream andever the star beckoned on Thiswas his wild preposterousthing out of all reason in a pushcart man He determined to earn100000 return to his native landand become a bank presidentSounds like o joke doesnt it Itwas not a jest to Menas Afterlong years of work and privation-and saving he had the fortune Thedream came true the star wasgrasped at last Menas went awayto gratify his ambiton in a sunlitcity by the Aegean sea
That dream was realized becausethe Athenian was faithful to it andas he plodded onward the star evershone in front

Roller Skating Terrors
Numerous complaints have beenmade to Major Jjylvester of late re-garding what is termed the rollerskating nuisance and it brings upthe question as to whether it reallyis a nuisance or not The skating-on the streets and sidewalks is donealmost entirely by children and thecontention is made that when doneby them it is not a nuisance anymore than their shouting and playing on the streets can be termeddisorderly conduct This is f notwholly true
There is no denying that theprivilege of roller skating on thestreets has been more or lessabused They persist in using thesidewalks in the business sectionsduring hours when the streets arecrowded Not a few will dart in andout among the pedestrians appar-ently endeavoring to see how near
can come without actually col-liding
There seems to be no reason whycertain restrictions could not be de-
vised that would tend to do awaywith the trouble Regulations sim-ilar to those governing bicycleriders and putting the skaters inthe same class would transformwhat is now a halfway nuisanceinto a harmless pastime
ftoller skating is probably another of those temporary crazedever succeeding one another TheCommissioners probably have thepower to place the necessary curbon the enthusiasts thus insuringthe rights of others and preventing-the abuse of an enjoyable sport

Snow WorkersFall in StreetFrom Weakness
NEW YORK Jan 25 Scones of suf-fering eclipsing anything in tne historyof this giant metropolis are following-the removal of yesterdays fifteen inchesof the blocked downtownsections The army of snow shovelershas been recruited from the ranks ofthe unemployed and these men present-a pitiable appearance as they staggeringly attack the giant drifts
per cent of the men areInsufficiently clothed and many are act
roc the want of breadDressed in thin summer clothing with
out overcoats or gloves their inInstances tot together with
strings to keep them from falling apartand with no underclothing the men arestruggling for tho few dollars that willenable them to live as human beingsfor little while at least
Men Welcome WorkThey welcome the work but their
task is a terrible oneOf the SOO men who marched from the
bureau df street cleaning at midnight-to clear crossings fire hydrants andlarger public squares more than halfhad to quit by 9 oclock today
Their strength was not equal to thework In the cold northwest wind withthe mercury only fifteen degrees abovezero All seemed eager to work but afew of the weaker ones with the thinnest clothes and the emptiest stomachsbegan to falter A few fell others staggered like drunken men and droppedout Those who continued were bluewith cold
The exhausted ones were taken tohospitals and cared for while charitablyinclined persons saw that great cans ofsteaming hot coffee were sent to relievethose who continued
Price of Coal UpTh cold is working great hardships-
In tenement sections where coal Is ata premium The usual price of 12 cents-a pail has been raised to 80 cents withbut a scant supply on hand The bigwagons of coal dealers cannot pene-trate the narrow streets blocked withsnow and aa usual those who cannotkeep reserve fuel are the real sufferemMen children left their
at the mULlclpal lodging house andat the temporary shelters erected on therecreation piers
EIght deaths directly traceable to thestorm have been reported to the policewhile more than a score of personshave suffered broken limbs and otherInjuries from falls on icy sidewalks
Passengers On Big LinerRage As Ship Is Anchored-
To Await Passing of StormNEW YORK Jan 26 With the tall

It was not this morning that thebig liner could come up to Quarantine-On board was Dr Qaujaa a Frenchphysician who attended Harry Thaw InParis and two companions who will bewitnesses in the trial Monday Represenatlves of counsel for the defenseboarded the steamer at quarantine andsealed the mouths ot their witnesses
The from London that Richard-A McCurdy was sv passenger on theAdriatic proved untrue His name wasnot on the passenger list and the stew-ard who is with theformer head of the Mutual Life Insur-ance Company stated that he had notbeen a passenger under another name
