A TOWN FOR WOMEN.

THREE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL ARE LADIES.

The Founder of Lincoln, N. JrVanta to Practical]y Demonstrate the Advantaged of Woman Suffrage—Results Thus Far

Attained.

No longer necessary to "go west, yoang woman!" A new El Dorado is open in the east to the woman ambitions to have a voice in municipal affairs. The site is Lincoln, in Middlesex county, N. J., about 28 miles from New York city. The town was born April last.

It stands for an idea—an idea pro mulgated by the man in whose memory the town was named. "I go for all sharing privileges of the government," said Abraham Lincoln— "all who assist in bearing its burdens, by no means excluding women."

Lincoln is not incorporated. This is how it comes about that the idea of giving women equal political privileges with men is being executed in the conservative state of New Jersey. The experiment arrests the attention of pro and anti suffragists and students of municipal government throughout the world. The outcome is waited with universal interest. July o, which fell on wash day this year, Lincoln held its first municipal election. Three women were elected to the common council, one of whom was made president. I have the story from the father of the town, Mayor Silas D. Drake, who with the three women of the council was a unique feature of the recent national convention of mayors and counoilmen held at Ohio's capital.

Miss Emma Egel, president of the council, Mrs. Olivia Hazard and Miss Mattie Moore, members, find themselves in a curious position.

In the accopted sense they are not "new" women, despite they have se-

cured without the dreaming or the asking the highest prerogative in the "new" woman's column of "wants."

They are not college bred, they have never been particularly interested in suffrage or woman's rights, they are not clubwomen, they do not ride bicycles or wear ultra gowns, hut they have got Stoore all the same. Physically wholesome, attractive, well bred and domestic, rich in energy, enterprise and common sense, they saw their opportunity imd grasped it. Each is conscious of the responsibility of her position and its farreaehing effect on the ultimate triumph of woman suffrage'and is alert to do the best to her ability. Mrs. Olivia Hazard is a property holder in Lincoln. She is also the mother of several children, and hails originally from Philadelphia. Misses Egel and Moore arc the daughters of property holders, the town haviug been cut through their fathers' farms.

As president of the real estate syndicate that, laid out the town, the Hon. Silas D- Drake, or "Si," as he is familiarly known in Jersey, is practically the owner of Lincoln. He is a little man, bubbling with energy, horse sense and chivalry. "On the 5th of July last," said Si, "I conceived the idea of giving women a vote in the municipal affairs of.Lineoln, I drove at once from my home in Bound Brook to Lincoln, and going from door to door personally summoned the women to the town hall. A call to arms in their country's defense could not have met prompter response. From the washtub, the bread bowl, all the homely round of domestic duties, the women flocked to the town hall, not a few forgetting in their excitement and curiosity to unroll their sleeves or remove their aprons. By 11 o'clock we had elected a mayor, four counoilmen and two council women."

Thirty-five women voted. "But the second election." interposed President Egel, "was themost exciting." It was held in September, to fill two vacancies in the common council caused by the resignation of two men. They were ridiculed for belonging to a council presided over by a woman, and, failing to attend the meetings, they were notified that their resignations wen? In order. One roan and two women were candidates for the vacancies. The women wore pitted against each other. The polls opened at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. A large woodeu ballot box, with a hole bored in the tightly fastened lid, stood on a table in the postoffice. Mrs. Olivia Hasanl was one of the tell era

committee composed of Mayor Drake, Ml» Emma Egvl, the president of th*

common council, and a citizen decided the eligibility of persons who desired to vote. The women came on foot, on bicycles and in carriages. Brawny men in ov-raLls fresh from the neighboring factories stepped aside for stylishly, gowned women to drop their votes.

Mayor Drake and the men of the council are warm in praise of Miss Egel's executive ability and recount with gusto how she succeeded in getting a man empowered with police authority, while the mayor and councilmen were debating the steps of procedure. Another triumph of the council women was the filing of a petition before the railroad company asking that a flagman be stationed at a certain railroad crossing that witnessed the death of a Jersey cow belonging to one of the ladies. y^'^1

The station master at Lincoln is a woman. The town has two railroad stations, with 42 trains stopping daily. Before winter 100 trains are expected. It has a sewerage system, a long distance telephone, a postoffice, town hall and a schoolhouse. "But we will soon have a new, modern schoolhouse," emphasized the council women in recounting the goodies of the embryonic town.

Several factories are already established and others are negotiating, scores of houses are in process of erection and three trolley lines have petitioned for a franchise. Rutgers and Princeton colleges are within 10 and 20 miles of Lincoln. "You see," said Mayor Drake, "we want to practically demonstrate to the world that with municipal affairs in the hands of women the common good, the best interests of a community, will be served. I know my women and there will be no boodle practices in the Lincoln council." "When the town is incorporated, what is to become of the women?" was asked. "Oh, well," sighed his honor the mayor, "we will prevent incorporation for some years. Meanwhile if the state

of New Jersey fails to grant women suffrage we will have women incorporated into a village improvement society, where they will be equally effective.

A petition will be forwarded the coming winter from Middlesex county to the Jersey legislature asking that the capitol be moved from Trenton to Lincoln.

Trenton is on the border line of Pennsylvania, while Lincoln is in the center of the state. The council women's term of office expires July 5.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.

It is announced with a considerable flourish that Miss Fisher has been engaged by the Massachusetts board of arbitration as an assistant expert in settling the difficulties between labor and its employers in the straw goods business. Well, why not?

The name of the new institution of learning for women to be opened in connection with the Roman Catholic university at Washington is Trinity college,

Katharine May Wood of Omaha is a lawyer who has taken np a branch of legal work that seems especially suitable to a 'woman. She makes a specialty of divorce cases and is acquiring a reputation for her skill and learning in this line. She is thoroughly educated and practices before the supreme court of Nebraska. Womanlike, she is likewise a messenger of peace on the troublous sea of matrimonial difficulties and very often reconciles those who are apart.

In Iowa women now have the right to vote on questions of raising funds for municipal or school purposes. This is not much still it is something.

Mrs. M. S, Fitts of Lynn, Mass., has been appointed a pension claim attorney by Secretary Bliss. I do not see why more women do not enter this business.

Mrs. Harriet Maxwell Conveise has spent years studying the Iroquois Indians, ancient and modern. She has found out facts of profound scientific and ethnological interest bearing on this great people, who are now represented only by the remnant of a few tribes. During the ooming winter Mrs. Converse trill lecture on the ancient Iroquois. The modern Iroquois have made Mrs. Convene tribe.

Don't imagine that letters of introduction to the big managers are going to do you any good. They may insure you an audience, but that is all. If the theatrical czar happens to be in a bad humor, you may not get even oivil treatment When he feels himself in a measure forced to see you. There have been such instances.

One young woman, who came here with letters from Ellen Terry and other celebrities, had a few days ago pawned nearly everything but the clothes she had on.

Don't place any reliance on the advertisements of actors who will train you for the stage and guarantee you an engagement.

Don't go to the manager who advertises for "an attractive young woman with a few hundred dollars, stage experience not necessary." In a short time he will have your money and you will have the experience, but it will not be a pleasant one.

Now as to some of the things you would better do. Dress as well and becomingly as you can. Speak up quickly and put your story in as few words as possible. Show that you mean business and are willing to work and to begin at -»the^bottom rung of the ladder.

If you.are plain of face don't say you want to do-leading emotional, juveniles or ingenues. Insist on characters'' and "old women." You may yet achieve as great a triumph over physical defects as Clara Morris or Charlotte Cushman, but a manager won't believe it though an angel from heaven came down to tell bim/vBegin with Tilly Slowboy and you may yet do Medea.

If you are determined to try to get into aNew York company—and this ist the hardest possible thing to do—make' friends with some actress who is a member of a first class company and get her to interest the stage manager to take you on as an "extra." If you attend to business, try to please and are careful about your dress and make up, the manager will notice you and probably keep traok of you. You will attract his attention more with one rehearsal on his stage than you would with six visits to his office armed with letters of introduction. You may do nothing but "extras" a whole season, or you may be intrusted with a small part, but earnestness and perseverance win. One of our most promiuent players started this way.

Should you be able to afford the expense of a course at. one of the reputable dramatic schools in New York, it is advisable to do so. But the glittering baits of engagements held out to pupils must be taken with some reservation. In the case of these schools certain metropolitan managers agree to take, say, six pupils annually. These six will of course be the cream of "the class in ability and beauty. The others may get small positions in traveling companies, or they piay get nothing.

It is the fashion of the profession to exclaim against the schools, but there is no reason why the dramatic art should not be taught in as systematic a manner as any other, and there will always be an army of new recruits pressing into the ranks, trained or untrained.

If you have had some training at home, you will find the reputable agent of use.

But here, again, "put money in thy purse." The agent is as ice to the amateur unless thawed by the genial dollar. Yott cannot blame him, because he has to labor about five times as hard to get a manager to take raw material as that which has a well known brand.

He will exact $5 before he will even put you down on his books. After that he will want a promise of your first week's salary before he will speak of yon to a manager. If you get an engagement for these two payments, yon may consider the terms reasonable.

Amateurs have paid as high as #1,500 for an engagement. Not long ago one paid this sum to aNew York agent She was given a part in the support of a star, and she ran over to Paris and purchased a wardrobe that cost $1,500 more.

On her return the star disclaimed all knowledge of the engagement, and the agent said the star had gone back on her word. The deluded amateur, after considerable trouble, made the agent return $500 and was out just $2,500 on the transaction.

Money will get you there, but whether yon can keep the place is another thing. One young woman, who paid an agent $500 fear a position with a prominent star, was promptly discharged at the aid of two weeks. Then die hroke down and wept and told the actor what she had paid for her engagement He was furious and vowed the agent should fill no more companies for him, and he kept his word, which goes to show that

AT THE STAGE DOOR.

ALICE E. IVES MAKES SUGGESTIONS TO DRAMATIC ASPIRANTS.

•SThat Not to Do—Glittering Baits Thrown Ont to the Unwary—The Reputable Dramatic Agent—The Question of Money—Signing of Contracts.. [Copyright, 1897, by American Press Association.]

The stage aspirant who comes to New York for an engagement may hear of something to her advantage in these few suggestions offered in the hope that they may be helpful in securing her heart's desire.

To begin with, here are a few "don'ts:" .- Don't go first to the leading metropolitan managers, the "Napoleons" in the field Should they have time to admit you, they will dismiss you as politely as possible, probably taking your name with a promise to send for you Bhould there be an opening. But you are never sent for, and it is best to know this at the outset, before you waste your substance in board bills whilo you wait.

the placing of amateurs is not unaccompanied by risks to the agent Another' agent who was approached by an elegantly dressed young lady who, accompanied by her mother, rattled up the office in a cab and was told the lady would pay well for an engagement, promptly dispatched the applicant to a star who was forming a company with a pointer as .to salary being no object, etc. The aspirant was engaged by the star, who demanded $300 for granting the favor. It was paid, and the agent, who put money in the actor's pocket and received only the ordinary commission, went out all by himself and gnashed his teeth thereat

The young lady afterward stpod around in Mr. Daly's compauy, but she found being on the stage was not all fun, so she went back to her luxurious southern home and staid there.

For convenience the pronoun "be" has been used in designating'agents, but the two most prominent ones in New York are women.

Another good plan is to find out what small managers are forming road companies and go directly to them and apply. They will always give you a hearing. But don't sign your contract till you have found out their standing, else you may be left in the far west to walk home.

It is a crying shame that so many avenues to the" stage are guarded by money grabbers and unscrupulous people. Conditions ought to be different, and they are going to be before the new century rolls in. ALICE E. IVES.

The Hon. John F. Smith of Westminster, Md., Judge of the Circuit Court of Carroll Co., Md., says: "I have used Salvation Oil for rheumatism. Its effects were prompt and lasting."

Washington as a Sportsman.

In the biography of George Washington by Professor Woodrow Wilson (Harper's) occurs the following description of Washington as a sportsman: "Washington loved horses and dogs with the heartiest sportsman of them all. He bad a great gusto for stalking deer with George Mason on the broad forested tracts round Gunston Hall and liked often to take gun or rod after lesser game when the day fell dull, but best of all he loved a horse's back and the hard ride for hours together after the dogs and a crafty quarry—a horse it put a man to nis points to ride, a country where the running svas only for those who dared. His ow« mounts could nowhere be bettered in Virginia. There was full blood of Araby in his noble Magnolia and as good hunting blood as was to be found in the colony in his Blueskin and Ajax, Valiant and Chinkling. His bounds he bred 'so flew'd, so sanded,' so matched in speed and, habit, that tbey kept always tune and pace together in the field. 'Twas first to the stables for him. always in the morning and then to the kennels."

There were other pleasures, too, in the life of a country gentleman of Virginia, and Washington did not scorn them ....

How to Cfse Blotting Paper.

•'It is curious about blotting paper," said Mr. Dipperton, "that it lasts longer if used on oue side only. I refer now to the small piece of blotting paper that we pick up and press upon the freshly written lines by rubbing it with the finger tips. Continual rubbing makes tho side that is rubbed upon smooth and oily and lesa absorbent. If we turn the blotter over now and then and get a fresh surface and rub indifferently on either side, we soon get both sides more or less oily, and then it doesn't blot perfectly en either side. It is better to use it always the same Fide down, so that whatever iroifrture may be transferred from the finger tips is kept all on one side. Thus used, the blotter will take up ink more satisfactorily and for a longer time than it would if we kept turning it over."—Atlanta Constitution.

UNPLACED MINISTERS.

Occupation*, to Which They Tarn When Pulpits Are Not Available. [Special Correspondence.]

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.—I met a friend of earlier years here the other day who started in life as a minister with bright prospects. My first question after our mutual greetings was with regard to his professional progresa "I'll be frank with you," he said. "I am not preaching anymore. That is, I have no church of my own, though I occasionally do a little talking from tho pulpit on Sunday mornings. You see, I discovered that I wasn't fitted for the ministry, and I gave it up. What am I doing? Well, I'll tell you, but you mustn't repeat any names if you use the information I give you. I'm running a rotary press in a big eastern publishing house. The publisher was a college olassmate of mine, and when I lost my last ministerial charge he suggested that I should read manuscript for him. But that didn't pay very well, and I couldn't stand it. Just then there was a strike in his pressrooms, and it was suggested that I should try if I could handle the rotary. "Well, I tried, succeeded pretty well and have been at it ever since. I'm out here on a visit now, but when I'm east I watch the machine rolling the paper through eight or ten hours a day every weekday as regular' as any pressman bred to the trade. Yes, I like it well enough. The pay is better than I could get preaching in country churches, and I have to please only one boss, who knows his business. When I was preaching, 1 had to please a good many who didn't know what they were talking about. I shall never preach regularly again."

Now, although there are nearly 47,000 more churches than ministers, clergymen and priests in the United States—the figures for 1896 being 186,960 ministers and 188,761 churches— there are thousands utid thousands of ministers who occupy no pulpit regu larly. Many of them are incapacitated by age pr illness, but they are not more numerous than those who, like my friend, have left the pulpit because the work did not please them or because they could do better from a financial viewpoint than to reniain in regular pastoral work.

Religious journalism has absorbed many. Of the religious newspapers and periodicals published in the United States a large proportion are edited by ministers. Nearly every one of the greater church papers is so edited, though in some cases the editors are also pastors. Occasionally a minister goes into secular journalism, but failure is generally the result. Some of my readers are familiar no doubt with the young preacher from Newark, N. J., who ^ecame a reporter, but could not stand the strain after the qnieter life of the minister, became a despondent and killed himself with cocaine.

Occasionally a preacher leaves the pulpit for the stage, as did the Rev. Mr. Milne. His is the only case of that sort that comes to mind at this moment, though I remember a Rev. Mr. Reynard who turned scene painter and frescoer of churches after several years of preaching to struggling country churches. More often they turn to the law, like the Rev. Hugh O. Pentecost He did not make a brilliant legal light and the same can probably be said of nearly every clergyman lawyer.

In almost every big city there are some ministers who fall into the executive work of organized charities. Many enter the employment «of the official boards of their denomination. Twenty or 80 years ago the calling of the colporteur, or distributer of Bibles and tracts gratuitously or very cheaply* was the refuge of many unplaced ministers, but colportage seems to have gone ont largely erf late years. The clerical lecturer, however, is still i&road in the land in good force, though temperance is by no means so generally the subject of the lecturers as formerly.

Nearly every denomination makes some provision for its clergymen who have grown old and worn in faithful pulpit service, the Methodist Episcopal church undoubtedly leading in that diveetksL. DKXTEB MSRWUTJ..

It would hardly be feasible to gather accurate statistics regarding the occupations these pulpitless ministers drift into, but it is perfectly safe to say that those who become pressmen are very few indeed.
