DANGER

Social Conditions in America Are Warping Her Character. SHE LIVES IN IDLENESS. DR. ANDREW MACPHAIL OF MONTREAL DEALS WITH CONDITIONS AS HE SEES THEM IN THIS COUNTRY TODAY.

London, Oct. 10. The Spectator pub lishes a remarkable article by D. An drew MacPhall. of Montreal, on the American woman. Though both Dr. j MacPhall and the editor, of The Spectator both disclaim any intention of, giving publicity to a general attack on the women of America, the article i probably would have been neither written nor printed If it had not been for the recent discussion regarding New York society. Dr. MacPhall. who writes vividly and suggestively, recognizes the soundtiess of the American woman as a rule, and suggests that "the American woman," of his Indictment is found throughout the modern world In England, Canada, and Prance, as well as In the United States, only she is more visible In America because she is more abuated and more advertised there, ; "She is," adds The Spectator, in an editorial, "a special danger to America, and Oat is why we, who yield to none in ear sympathy with and admiration for the people of the union, shall be glad If we can do anything to call attention to the very great danger to the larger tail of our race. "The old-fashioned American novelist," aaya MasPhail, "who was pressed for an explanation of the waywardness of his heroine, found It in the fact that he was born of a French mother. The novelist of today finds another explan. altno, not of the virtues for novelists bo longer find the virtuous women Interesting but of the caprice of his her. oine In the fact that she Is an American woman. A life of luxurious Idleness alone appeals to the American woman of fiction. For reasons largely beyond her control the primitive func tions of woman, such as preparing food, clothlng.etc have become less incumbent upon her. With one excep tlon , that of maternity, they have been usurped by the male or placed in the hands ofl hirelings. Every advance in industrial development continually makes for the destruction of the fam lly. The country has grown rich, but the family is destroyed. There is money and Idleness for the women of the well-to-do; idleness alone for the women of the poor. For the daughters of the poor there Is the refuge of the factory; for the daughters of the rich there Is nothing but idleness, and both clases axe more unhappy than when they lived in the trees. Affection Decreases, "The care of the offspring has been handed over to the male or to female hirelings, and thus the wide outlet for physical and mental activity of woman has been effectually stopped. Deprived of the care of her children, a woman suffers a diminution of affection, and it is replaced by a noisy sentimentalIsm, which is equally disastrous for the mother, the child, and the husband. It is the matrnal Instinct running riot. It exhausts Itself upon the infant and none remains for the growing child, to whom it might be of some value. The American mother Is famous for her care of her infant and her neglect of her child. "In a society .which has grown up . by a natural process in the course of alow centuries the woman performs her duties easily and almost unconsciously. In a society which is the product of only a generation the woman who as pires beyond her primitive functions is an amateur in a new role. We have all seen and pitied the animal compel! ed to perform a new and uncongenial taskthe dog in a dance, for instance, Off the stage, we are told, these animals are subject to fits of ill-temper, to outbursts of emotion, to discontent; they crave excitement and finally break down. It la not disclosing any profeslonal confidences to say that symptoms of a somewhat similar nature have been observed in the case of an American woman as a result of her performance. The most oppressive burden which a woman is called upon to endure Is that anomaly amongst created beings of the wearing of clothes. In a state of nature it is ordained that the female shall go quietly. The male is the gaudy, strutting creature. But in the race to which we belong it is the woman who is glorious, and this burden of splendor, falling upon an organism which is unqualified for the task, breaks it down hopelessly and renders it unfit for the performance of its proper functions. The possession of splendid apparel Involves the necessity for its display, and out of that arises vanity, jealousy, rivalry, and all nncharitableness. This is the genesis of the thing which is known as society. To the - American man there is something mysterious about this society, and his womenkind alone are supposed to understand it. He, in reality, Is a simple-minded person, brought up in the old-fashioned way and believing that the one mark of poverty is that the women are obliged to work. The American man thinks he has extricated him self from poverty when he has suc-

Mrs. Benjamin Harrison Plans For Education of Daughter.

Herkimer, N. Y Oct. 10. Mrs. Harrison, wife of the late President Benjamin Harrison, is making plans for the education of her daughter, Eliza-,, beth, now 11 years old. Mrs. Harrison, who has a home in Indianapolis, spends little of her time there, the greater part of the year being 6pent at her cottage on the shores of Second lake, this county. She usually remains here until late in the fall, but this year 6he left earlier to make plans for Elizabeth's schooling. Mrs. Harrison, who is now in her fiftieth year, was the second wife of Benjamin Harrison. The first Mrs. Harrison,, who was Caroline Lavina Scott, and to whom Harrison ' was married In 1853, died at the White House a few days before the presidential election of 1892. In 1896, when Harrison was 63 years of age, he was married to Mrs. Mary Scott Lord Dlmmock, a niece of his first wife. The

American Girl Left Destitute In Paris by a Frenchman.

POPE ISSUES A WARNING. HAS ASKED CATHOLICS AND PRIESTHOOD NOT TO. READ NEWSPAPERS OTHER BRIGHT NEWS FROM PARIS. (By Raoul De Saint Rehe.) Paris, Oct. 10. Prince Robert de Broglie who recently shocked the French aristocracy by appearing with his wife on the stage in a London mu sic hall has now definitely left the princess and their little daughter. The prince was first married seven years ago at the age of twenty to the Baroness Deslandes. After their divorce he married in Chicago, in spite of the protests of his parents, Miss Estella Dolores Alexander, a beautiful music hall singer. The French courts on - petition of Prince Roberts' father, Prince Araedee, declared the Chicago marriage invalid on July 19. last year. The prince then remarried Miss Alexander according to French law only a few months ago. The princess who is now living in an almost empty flat In the Rue Pergolese and who is still strikingly beautiful was found in great distress a few days ago. "Last July" she said, "we were heavily in debt. The prince provided no money for the support of myself and our child. I was therefore forced to accept an engagement to sing at Ostende and Spa under name of Marltza. The Prince decided not to accompany me but to go to Chamounix and I gave him money for the trip. On my return to Paris some weeks ago I telegraphed him, but to my astonishment I received the curt answer that he did not intend to return to me. I was utterly penniless and had to pawn even my rings. At last he sent me $50 (250 franks) and shortly afterwards came himself. He told me he had come to take away his things and would explain matters through his lawyers. Two days later the lawyer sent for me and at his office I met my husband wo told me he was going to sue for a divorce. For five years we have lived happily together, we have never had a quarrel and I do not understand his conduct. I shall no longer call myself Princess de Broglie and may accept one of the several offers I have had to appear in vaudeville in America." When I saw Prince de Broglie who is staying with his friend Viscount Jean de Corday he said that he de sires to live free and untrammeledt for the future in order to prepare himself for the theatrical career -he intends to follow. .

And If anyone should come to speak to you of it, reply: "Vade, retro Satanas." We are to be cured by new medicines henceforth. A government commission of doctores and druggists have just brought out, after eleven years of hard work, a revised editor of the "Codex Medicamentarius." This is the official list of all the medicines which, by authority effective and we can officially be cured by no others. The dodex was first published in the XVII Century by the King's order. Since then it has been much altered and In the new edition the list of medicines have been cut down considerably. Thus while only 151 new remedies have been added as many as 791 old preparations have been left out. One wonders what has happened to these obsolete remedies. They cured all right while the 1S95 edition pf the code was in force and now they are declared to have no effect The saying of a famous old French doctor second Mrs. Harrison, who was at the time of the wedding 38 years of age, ) is a native of Pennsylvania and was a widow when 6he married General Har rison. Her first husband .was Walter Erskine Dimmock, son of Samuel E. Dimmock, attorney general of Pennsylvania Elizabeth, the only child of the late President by his second wife, is an exceptionally attractive girl, with a rare, elusive type of beauty that is almost wistful. Little Miss Harrison has large dark eyes, similar in their depth of color to those which contribute so much to the distinguished appearance of her mother, and a chestnut brown hair, that rolls back from an unusually high forehead. As is characteristic of children who have spent most of their time with older folk and have played little with other children, she Is quiet and demure, with beautiful manners and a shy modesty that add greatly to her charm.

New Location FURNITURE may be appropriately recalled. When he ordered his patients any new drug he always advised: "Take it at once while It cures. Six months from now it may cure no longer." M. Marius Ballot came home very late the other evening or morning and went to bed. His wife said nothing and he said nothing, so he went to sleep peacefully.' While he was slumbering she got up, took a pitcher and filled it with sulphuric acid and poured the contents over her husband's face. His screams of pain aroused the house, neighbors rushed in, but the vindictive wife escaped. First aid was given to the unfortunate man, who was afterwards tak en to a hospital, where he was found to have been completely blinded in both eyes, besides being horribly burnt about his face, neck aud arms. His wife has since given herself up to the police, and now says that she is very sorry for what she has done.
