They do not know whether he suicided, was murdered or is wandering about mentally deranged. A suicide pact between Eggleston and Peter Gills, both of the same boarding house is not thought plausible. Gills committee suicide Sunday. Eggleston, who is an old soldier, draws a pension, which with his two weeks' pay as mechanic at the M. Rumely plant, where he worked until May 11, made him have in his possession when he disappeared about $75. Last week he became morose and act

ed peculiarly. He had wired his wife, Mrs. Mary Eggleston of Springfield, O., from whom he had separated, to come to this city at 417 North Eleventh street Sunday morning. When she arrived he was gone.

May 12, he became irresponsible, according to statements of his landlady, fMrs. Margaret Wysong, and packing

up mi trunn ne lert ner rooming house and went to the Akron hotel. He bought a trunkful of food and placed It in rooms rented at this hotel. He

left here last Friday and last Saturday came hack to the Wysong home. He became Insane there In the afteri noon, and after weeping and crying

all afternoon, Mrs. Wysong suspected his mind was not right, and locked him In a room. He cried out that he "must

go to Muncle if he had to fly." He I thought he could fly, his wife states, ' when he has these sp&ls. Mrs. Eggleston says she things he is

Insane and suspects he has been killed ' for his money or has committed suiIcide. ? The following is a description of the missing man, furnished by his wife, J Mrs. Mary E. Eggleston: Age 65, looks fmuch younger, gray hair, swarthy , complexion, blue eyes, with a stubby f mustache, slightly grey. He wore a blue shirt, brown suit, with a black , cap, and black shoes, partly worn out. He had been separated fro mhis wife for two years, because, she refused to i.live with him when he drank heavily. He left Springfield, and came to this j city some time ago, and had conduct- ! ed himself at the boarding house with propriety except when his mind was I affected. He was arrested here once .when in an insane fit but was releas- . ed. He recently wrote to his wife at ! her home in Springfield, saying that if she would come to his home here he would cease drinking. She was only too happy to effect a reconciliation, and came here.

Woman's Leap Into Reality. There is no doubt that the type of woman is changing beyond recognition and that any mid-Victorian wbo might arise again with the exception of George Meredith and John Stuart Mill Would rub his eyes in amazement at the modern female whom he would find on platforms and in council rooms, in operating theaters and la city offices wherever, in short, there is serious business on hand. Just now we are celebrating the centenary of Charles Dickens, the creator of Dora Copperfleld and Little Nell, of Miss Squeers and Kate Nickleby. runs an article in Lady's Pictorial. I won

der what he would have thought ot the young person of 1912 who climbs the Matterhorn, pilots her own aeroplane, beats masculine champions at golf and travels alone through wild and desert places? For, with her usual deliberateness, her intuitive grasping of natural and fundamental laws, woman has instinctively set out to improve her physical type before she makes great demands upon her brain. The result is that we see around ns a race of young athletes, intent upon increasing their stature and specially apt at all games which demand muscle and skill. The new generation is not beautifully frail, but singularly self re

liant and upstanding. Above all. it has banished the word sentiment from its vocabulary. Charles Dickens' idea of a woman who worked or who took an interest in public affairs was a Mrs. Jelly by, a ludicrous and untidy person who neglected her heme and filled the dusty house with pamphlets. This, however, was not the great novelist's fault He was seeking for comic types and had not the larger vision of a Meredith, who, already in the sixties of the last century, was drawing a gallery ot women folk unmatched save in Shakespeare's plays. Moreover, all the Victorian novelists save Meredith had similar prejudices and convictions about women. Thackeray was in reality no better, though be wrote about society, while Dickens described those inimitable back parlors. To Thackeray a clever woman (if she were English, for his French ladies were allowed more latitude and more Gebildung) must, of necessity, be a woman of doubtful moral character. Beatrix, Becky and Blanche Amory are all wheedling, alluring young things with brains, so Jhey must needs all end badly, rather to the readers' indignation. This attitude toward the feminine sex was Indeed a survival of the roast beef and port wine period, when John Bull was a very domineering person and suffered no pretensions on the part of his women folk. Indeed, did they show any signs of a mentality of their own he annihilated them socially by dubbing them "bluestockings."

f A Voter at Least. i Aunt Splnsterly I hope that your opinions uphold the dignity of our sex, Mamie, and that you believe that every woman should have a vote? Mamie I don't go quite so far as that, auntie, but I believe that every woman should have a voter.
