She read 20.000 letters, faded andipled with age, assorted, selected

and eliminated, prepared material fcThree stenographers and wrote witb a

pen 600,000 word* besides making ava,at •mount of historical research. Anespecial genius for pain stak in a labor isequired for thU work, which J i m Har-

per poa&esses to a remarkable 'eitent. '

Thia same conscientious attention todetails, which makes her a successfulwriter, also"" makes her a successfullomekeeper. While milch of ber work•as been of a public nature, sbe ia nev-

ertheless a great lover of borne, neverneglecting it for outside work.

Mrs. Harper is of New England par-entage, but was born and spent most ofler life in Indiana, where she entered

tbe Indiana university at IT. At theclose of her freshman year ehe accepted

position as principal of a high school.ut resigned to be married the next

year.

She baa one daughter upon whom shelas bestowed ber loving care, her hus-

band having died many years ago, andrho has now ferown to womanhood andtlready developed into a writer of muchibility.

Since completing Miss Anthony'sbiography Mrs. Harper and ber daugh-;er have made their home in Waah-ngton, where sbe is buiiy with berpen. Sbe is a close student of currentevents, takes a vital interest In nationalaffairs and ia a firm believer in the(quality of rights for women.

Mrs. Harper baa little sympathy witbhe argument most persistently broughtlorward by tbe oppoeen of woman suf-frage, tbat it would "destroy tbalomp," Upon this point she says: "TheTongest influence that the woman canield in tbe home may be csibnteracted

by tbe conditions that exist outside ofit. She is seriously crippled In the per-

» of these very duties of wifether if shut out from all partici-

pation in that municipal and state leg-islation which touches so closely tbe in-teres ted tbe liome."

•The Choir Invisible" bas been readby moat women of Intelligence and re-tnement. Many have reread It. and•ome have read it half a dozen times.Boding In its exquisite pages an endur-ing charm and delight. Though writtenby a man, it in essentially a woman'snovel, as, appealing particularly tofeminine tastes, it has doubtless beenread more widely by women than anyother work, of fiction. .

Tbe author ie James Lane Allen.Tens of thousands of women are famil-

irith his works—"Tbe Choir Invisi-ble," "A Kentucky Cardinal" "After-math." "Summer In Aready" and otherstories, but of bis characteristics andpersonality comparatively little seemsto be generally known. It 1* of theseparticularly tbat I write.

James litne Allen ia a native of Ken-tucky, the descendant of generations ofconntry gentlemen, and was bora andreared in the "blue grass" conntry,which Kebtnckiasa inaiet produces thenoblest men, tbe most beautiful womenind tbe finest bonea in tbe world.

Hie ancestry leads back, on bis fa-ther's sid«, to Colonel William PayneOf Virginia, an officer of tbe Revolu-tion. On his mother's to PennsylvaniaScot«b-Iri>b atock of tbe same period.

His mother, from whom he inheritedmuch of that grace and tendernesswhich characterized tbe life picturestils pen has ro exquisitely portrayed,WII a woman of rare charm? and highintellectual qualities. From hU earli-eat childhood he was much in her ao-dety. She waa hii first teacher.

Aa a boy be developed a taste forreading, which waa carefully fosteredand directed by bis mother, whoee gen-tle and refining influence Is In lateryean shown in bis published works andto whom be payo reverential tribute in

*iT dedication.Being much alone In boyhood, be

spent bis daya with books or in theda and fields, where a deep love

Of tbe world onbride he knew bnt lit-1 nntil he was sent to tbe Kentuckyilveraity, once Transylvania w»Wer-

It waa originally hie purpose to fithimself for a professorship in classics;bat, aa he himself says, -liking collegework lees and literature more," ba gaveup teaching, to wbicb«ha bad been com-pelled to resort for a livelihood, owing-to financial reverse* of bis father, andbegan bis career in letters, which wasto be his life work and which happilyia not yet finished, though > high meas-ure of success baa been attained.

Though the literary work of JamesLane Allen waa begun with maturarpowers and wider culture than moatwriters exhibit in their first publica-tions, ha did not at the outset find suc-cess In literature a primrose path. H»was destined to know tbe pang of hav-ing Ua manuscript rejected when hi-finance* were at a low ebb. But meritsuch as his could not long go unrsward-ed. His feat notable work was a serie-of magannearticles on UM "Blue Gi»»Region." Tbe field was new, tbe workwaa trash, and tbe ability of tbe writer

The firat of Mr. Allen's stories to at-tract wide attention was "John Gray. "which was subsequently rewritten sodamplified, tbe title being changed to"The Choir Invisible." This title wassuggested by this couplet from GeoigeEliot's famous peem:

Dr. De Forrest hadthus far taken no part In the discus-sion, but bad smiled once or twice atoar assertions in a way that assuredns. who knew him so well, that hehad a good story to tell If we couldonly draw him out.

"Come, Doctor." said Long, aa he.ordered a fresh round of brandies andsoda for the crowd, "yon ought toknow something about this question,for you told us last week th£t youbad studied under Charcot when youwere in Paris."

Bessie listened with wide, startledeyes, burning cheeks and quiveringlips. She held her peace, standing talland slim in a sort or stunned silenceuntil her gray haired lover had takenhis leave. Then she burst forth intcvehement, passionate protest.

The old grandmother suffered her U.storm until her passion had spent.

Tbe Springtime came and the wed-ding day was close at hand, when, oneevening. Just before the gloaming. Bes-sie went to nil ber pitcher as usual at

A STRANGE STORY. ■V O. W. a. *NUB.L

It was one of our Friday night sym- posiums at the Cosmos club, and aa our particular clique was made up of Merton, from the Geological Survey; Herring of the Fish Commission, to- gether with Long, from the Agricultur- al Bureau; De Forrest of the Army Medical Museum, and myself, then •erring as Washington correspondent ror a Nsw York paper. It Is nredb-os to say that the talk bad run the entire gamut of art literature aud science, and had for the moment settled on the belief In dual personalities. "IUU you. gentlemen,” said Merton, with the authoritative air by which he always attempted to settle ques- tions under discussion, “that while l am willing to admit that there may ha soma things almost Impossible to provt or disprove sclentlQcally. yet tola talk about dual personality, snb- eooacloua mind and all such stuff la. rulgarly speaking, simply rot” And ha lay beck In his chair with a self- satisfied air. ss though there was nothing more to be said on the sub >CL i Long took up the argument, and the debate grew rather warm as the proa and cons were laid down In that ex- Athodra way which we ymyig men are apt to affect. Dr. De 1'orrwt bad thus far taken no part In the discos- Mon. but had smiled once or twice at oar assertions In a way that assured on who knew him so well, that he had a good story to tell If we could soly draw him out. "Come. Doctor." said Long, as bo ordered a fresh round of brandies and soda for the crowd. "you ought to know something alwint tbls question, for you told us last week tbfit you had studied under Charcot when you were In Paris." De Forrest selected a fresh perfecto from the boa at bis side, lighted It in Us usual careful way and blew a few rings of smoke, which be watched •sat lazily toward the celling, before Ml spoke. "Well, boys." be began, "a# Merton has Just said, there are some things wMip we cannot as yet decide by parafy physical methods.

lawjm After “Dwaa Act. Tbe Lawyers' Club of Newark, the moat Influential organization of legal minds In tbe 8late, has decided to bring proceedings to test aiitutionallty of tbe Five Counselors Act, known more popularly as the “Dana Aet,'* The law waa passed at tbe instiga- tion of Congressman John T. Dunn, of Elizabeth, wbo, when be forsook the paint brash and pot, desired to be- come a lawyer, but was unable to at that time on account of the rigid rules concerning an apprenticeship In an established lawyer's office. Mr. Dunn was subsequently si sc tad a member of the Assembly from Union county and while serving as such suc- ceeded In securing the passage of the Five Counselors Act. which provides that any one who can secure the recommendation of five counselors at law In good standing may be entitled to take the examination provided for aspiring lawyers by the Supreme oourt. and If they pass they must he licensed to practice. It Is urge by many of the legal lights or the State that this law has opened a way for the admitta large number of Incapable and vicious lawyers In New Jersey. An unsuc ful attempt to repeal the law was made at the last, and several preced ing sessions of tbe Legislature. If things continue to progress In the New Tork Produce Exchange as favor- ably for the Plainfield members for the next few years as they have la the past few, then is no reason to believe but what the citizens of tbe Eldorado of the East will be the whole powers that be In that great commercial In- stitution. Tbe annual election of offi- cers waa held yesterday, and Coun- an Elliott T.Barrows, of the Third ward, waa advanced from vice presi- dent to president of the Exchange. President of the Council Fred T. An- drews. also of the Third ward, was ad- vanced from the position of secretary to Tloe-prasident of the Exrhaage. And farther than that Councilman John Valiant, of the borough, was re- elected as a member of the board of governors. No other town, with the exoeptlon of New Tork dty, Is so well represented among the ofleers of the Produce Exohange aa Plainfield.

The Duke de Aroos, the new Spanish Minister, who has had tba honor to reopen diplomatic relatione between Spain and the United States, Is a of oommon sense as well as a diplomat He proved It eome time ago by marry- ing an American girl. When asked to xpross an opinion concerning Cuba, the Phllllpplnee aad the late war with Spain, he replied: “Too will pleas© • me. I oome to let bygones be bygones. Spain Is waiting and watch lng; she has the past, you have the future. I do not wish to talk of the past loom© here to meet friends, many of them very old ones, net 'tales.”

Tbe Tran BmIbm*. Therein a slight decrease In the value of the corporations and trusts that have oome Into existence daring tbe last month la New Jersey, due to the fact thst nestrlyall important com merdai combinations have beer made. The corporation depart men' of the Secretary of State's office fees announced the result of the bus! of rhs month of May. There ware 906 corporations given certificate*ore ters, aad that Is larger than any pre- vious month, although the total of the capital stock l« not as large.due to tbe fact that there has been a rush or email corporations, with capital a to ranging from liuo.ooo to tl.oooooo Delaware bas captured corporations to tbe amount or *40 000,000, and company has been formed to incorpor- ate concerns under the laws of both New Jersey and Delaware, and this concern bas opened offices almost under the shadow of tbe State House In Trenton. Tbe decrease Is said to be legitimate, because the big eom- ranleebave all come into existence during previous months, and the high Ude In the business of incorporations has been reached. The Btate of New Jersey was figur- ing oa getting at least $1,000,000 out of the registration of charters, but it will not reach that amount. There are enly five months before the end of the fiscal year, and during the mid- summer months few concerns come Into existence. The financial officers of the Slate now believe that tbe State's revenue from this source will be abeut $700,000, which Is a very no- table increase compared with the 0M.11O.DO received from this source last year

Elisabeth Is contemplating exten sire street Improvements In the direc- tion of permanent pavement, the as Plainfield la, and at a meet- ing of the Elizabeth Council last 1 bids were received from companies desiring to do the work. Inasmuch as this dty will be going through the same experience In a few weeks It will be interesting to know how th* bids The bids for asphalt ran from $*.09 per square yard to *2 60 per square yard, the proposal* being sub- mitted for lake and rock asphalt, the latter being the highest quality. The trapblock proposals varied from $1.41 to $1.75 per square yard ; the telford from 84 cents to 01 15 per square yard, aad brick from $1.71 to $3 S3 per square yard. The borough la oertainly to be con- gratulated ror the way la which her taxpayers have oome forward and set. tied their taxes. Of the 18W personal tax there is oaly $90 remaining un- paid, while of the poll tax there Is about *60 unpaid. OoUector Brown has used the limit of the law to secure thla money, sad many persens throat •aed with arrest have oome up and settled rather thaa goto JalL Mr. Brown will oouUaue to so force the law and make every person pay up or take the consequence. The Philadelphia Record obeervee that "like the use of the bicycle, th# use of tbe automobile contrivances wlU raise up new advocatee for better roads. What was denied to suffering horsefleeh may be ooaoeded to human beings who kick their way along the highways and ts the desire for speedier and safer propulsion la the horseless carriages. Prom this point of view the new Inventions are likely to prove a boom to those who do net use them as weU aa to thone who do.” Government officials have about abandoned hope of any settlement of the Alaskan boundary dispute through the negotiations now pend lag. It 1* stoutly claimed that this Is the fault of the Canadian Government, which has made It plain that nothing short of a Pacific port will satisfy It. This Government bas made it equally plain that it will neither make such a con- ©••elou nor agrrv- to submit Canada’s right to ask as much to arbitration.

If the establishment of a licensed Saloon In the West End ef the city will result la tbe suppression of tbe Illegal traffic that is known to exist there now, the Common Council will hare, perhap". acted wisely In gran the application of Michael Walsh last night. Doubtless those who are earnest advocates of temperance will question the policy that permits the establishment of another saloon any pretest, but if It wise, and tbe po- sition that the Council has taken la the matter for tbe past few years would seem Co prove chat (C Is accepted as such, for licenses to be granted for three saloons within a stone threw of rmch other on West Third street, then It Is wot aa extraordinary proceeding to allow one saloon to be looated la a section like thst surrounding Grant arenas and South Second street. This question of a licensed saloon In the West End has been a boas of oon- t+aUoa for esrerai years pane, aad how that It Is settled by the barriers or precedent being thrown down It Is probable that as long hs any licensee are granted In the city this particular one will continue to secure the ap- proval of the Oouacll In the same dl recti on, providing, af oouroe, Its re- oord for th* first year is not a bad one.

LISH THE CAMP.

In making the lives ef little totsbrighter, healthier and happier by thevisit to the Baby Camp on Johnston'sdrive during the heated season for thepast few years the City Union of King'sDaughters has been doing a noble sodworthy work that appeals to the soft-er and kindlier side of life. StartingIn a small way, tbe camp last year be-came an Institution that at tbe end of

ion convinced those who reoog-Dlz«d and appreciated Its work, to bean indlepensihls detail la tbe philan-thropic work of this vicinity, because

reached a class of persons whomother movement sought to aid. Itsparticular purpose was to care for thepoor little babies.

Those who.have obseivedacquainted to any extent among tbepoor families ot Plalnneld are ableresilzswbata work like this means. It

:hat the city nurse made • tripeach morning and .gathered up littlegirls, some not yet able to walk, fremits poorest homes of the city, whereif a la a contradiction of what most of

delight to associate with baby days.Once tbe children arrived at the camphere was a wide caange froi

scene that most of tbe little guestsaad become accustomed to. Buggedand wooded land formed a protectionon all sides save for the narrow roadcut out for the stage to wend Its wayn and out of the camp. In tbe cen-ter of the cleared spot stood a quaint,substantial structure, a visit to thePterlor of which showed the handi-

work of those who had planned forpurpose of ?n^wtg the stay of tbe

lttle guesta one Of extreme pleasureand benefit. In aad out of this rus-tic little reeort the juveniles romped,played or slept, as their vmrylng moodssuggested, all day. But watchingjrer them with a motherly eye wastbe city nurse, wbe fad this hungryUttle one with rich milk, rocked barneighbor into • slumber, soothed thefretful one with a piece of bread, ex-plained a simple little game for an-other's amusement, and kept a super-vising eye on the whole party. It wasa pretty picture and one that couldnot but touch tbe heart of the oldervisitor.

As the sua Was setting in the west,and tbe camp waa swept by a cooling,refreshing breeze, tbe babies' wererounded up and bundled into thestage again and returned to theirlomes, tbe .livelier and tbe happierfor their day's experience. These In-cidents were repeated day after dayall summer, a work which appeals toeveryone.

For this summer the City Union ofLing's Daughters were making plansor a resumption of their baby camp

endeavors oa a liberal scale, but lastspring a forest ire oa the mountaincrept close to the camp and In a fewminutes It was laid in ashes and tbework of several seasons totally de-stroyed. •

Some weeks ago, however, tbeking's Daughters, commenced to plaa

rebuilding the camp. The matter3 gone over, and It was fouad that

$500 would be needed to put the campas good oontUoD as It was last sum*

mer. Then thoy commeaoed to figure,ftiey figured and they figured, but do

very best they found themselvesabout $300. Ths season for their

good work. If .they are to continue, islearly at hand. Whatever la to be

done must be conaummated quickly.As stated, S300 Is aeeded to re estab-

Ish the camp In nae shape aad makeC one of the splendid philanthropicQstltuticns or .riainoeld. The Dally•it> s a belie vei that the people of'lalnfiald will give liberally and read-ly for .the camp's needs If the matter9 brought to their attention In tbe

right manner. Tbe Dally Press Istsddy to do Its share. It will start apopular subscription fund and agreeto act as an agent for tbe City Dnlenof King's Daughter* in the enterprise,accepting aucb amount* as may beoffered and turning them over to theproper committee. Each day It willlubllsh tbe list of donors and the

LISH THE CAMP.

In making tbe lives #f little tots brighter, healthier and happier by tbe visit to the Baby Camp on Jotuwcoa’i drive during the heated eeeeoe for the past few yean the City Union of King'i Daughters has been doing a noble and worthy work that appeals to the eeft- erand kindlier side of life Starting in a small way, the oemp last year be- came aa lastituOon that at the end of the eeason convinced thoee who reoog- nixed and appreciated It* work, to be an lndlspenelble detail la the philan- thropic work of this vietnity, becaues It reached a eiaas or person* whom do other mpvemeot sought to aid. particular purpose waa to oare for tba poor lltli* babies. Those who have obeeived or •equal Died to any extent among the poor families of Plainfield are abi* to realize what a work tike this mean*. It means that the city nurse made e trip each morning and gathered up little girls, some aot yet able to walk, from the poorest homes of the city, where life la a contradiction of what moat of delight to associate with baby day*. Once the children arrived at the camp here was a wtd# change from the •cans that most of the little guests bed become accustomed to. Rugged aad wooded land formed a protection on all aides save for the narrow road out out tor the stag* to wend Its way la and out ol the camp. In the eeo of the cleared spot atood a quaint, substantial structure, a visit to the interior of whloh showed the handi- work of those whs had planned for the purpose of making the stay of tbe Uttle guests on* of extreme pleasure nod benefit. In and out of this ma- Uo Uttle resort.the Juveniles romped, played or slept, as their varying moods »d, ail day. But watching over them with a motherly eye waa the city nurse, who fed this hungry Uttle one with rich milk, rocked her neighbor Into a slumber, soothed the fretful one with a piece of bread, ex plained a simple Uttle game ror an other's amusement, aad kept a super- vising eye on the whole party. It was pretty picture aad one that oould not but touch the bean of the older visitor. I » sun was setting In the west, and the camp was swept by a cooling, refreshing breeze, tbe babies were rounded up and bundled Into the stage agalp and returned to their homes, the livelier and the happier for their day** experience. Them In- cident* were repeated clay after day all summer, n work which appeals to everyone. For this summer the City Union of King’s Daughters were making plans resumption of their baby camp endeavor* on a liberal wale, but last spring a forest ire on the mountain crepe close to the camp aad In a few minutes it was laid In ashes and the work of several seasons totally de- stroyed. Some weeks ago, however, the King'* Daughter* oommeoced to plan for rebuilding the camp. Tbe matter as gone over and It was found that »50o would bo needed to put the camp In as good cobtUoo as It was last sum. Then they commenced to figure. They figured and they figured, but do their very best they found themselves short about $300. The season for thslr good work, if they are to contiaue. Is nearly at band Whatever Is to be done must be consummated quickly. As slated, $900 Is needed to re estab- lish the oamp In Qoe shape and make It one of the splendid philanthropic Institution* of Plainfield. The Dally Press believe* that the people of Plainfield will give liberally and read- ily for the camp * need* If the matter Is brought to their attention In the right manner. Tb* Dally Proa* la ready to do Its share It will start a popular subscription fund and agree tohet as an agent for the City Unien of King's Daughter* In tbe enterprise, accepting such amount$ as may be offered and turning them over to tbe proper oommittee. Each day It will publish the Ust of donor* and the amounts given. No matter how email the sum It will be welcome. Every penny oount* towards reaching the aggregate eum needed. K Is to be

hoped that It will be a popular fund, made up of gifts from people from all and conditions, far tbe werk of the baby camp has no drawn lines, ex- cept that It alms to help the little one* ho bave no e no dee to look after them.

i an interview given out recentlySenator John Kean Is quoted asfellows:

fou may quote me, IT you wish, assaying that there is a practicallyunanimous sentiment In tbe Republi-can party ID this State In favor of tberenomlnatlon of MeKinley and Ho-bart. The State convention, I believe,will send a solli} delegation for theirsupport. Every Republican should beproud of the record President HoKla-ley has made, while Hr. Hobart baa

rn consummate tact and ability asthe presiding officer of the Senate, andla tbe moat popular vice-president wehave ever had. It was because of hisearnest, conscientious discharge ofpublic duties that Hr. Hobart'e healthwas impaired, but I hear that he iarapidly regaining strength and Vigor,and I expect to see him again withMajor McKinley beading the Kepubll-

• ticket. That cannot help but be sining ticket In 1900."How about New Jersey? Can thete be relied upon for a Bepullcan

majority next year?" Senator Keanwasaeked.

'With HcEInley and Hobart, with-out doubt. In 1896 we carried theState by 87,091 plurality. That, ofcourse, waa a tremendous landslide,due largely to the Democratic slumpon the ell v r Issue. New Jersey Is a

ind money State, and so long asour Mends tbe enemy continue to in-corporate ie to 1 In their platformthere will be no danger ot the Butegoing Democratic at a National elec-tion. Hr. Hobart will, of course, addstrength to the ticket, and New Jer-sey oan be depended upon to roll ap shandsome Republican majority.
