Among other things Mowbray said: "I will not tell how I escaped from England, evaded the ofiicers and came here, for I may have to repeat the dose. No country under the sun is more ripe for anarchy than America. Here, at least, they pretend to have liberty, but of freedom there is none. In order to down capitalists and to gain our ends, we must adopt revolutionary and, what would now be termed illegal, measures. You must ignore the Constitution." Emma Goldman also spoke.

She said: "You cannot kill anarchy. We will fight for it until the last moment. Many more victims will have to die before anarchy is permanently established." L'OlAM LiHts bRAWX. airs. Williams Xot Admitted to the Chicago Womun's Club.

CHICAGO, Nov. 15. The committee on membership of the Aristocratic woman's club, after a stormy session today, refused to admit to membership the noted colored lecturer, Mrs. Fanny Barrien Williams. The application of Mrs.

A reconsideration of the action is not improbable, and should Mrs. Williams be admitted to the club the names of several other prominent colored women will be presented for membership.

Portions of his will were as follows: "The said sum of one thousand pounds sterling. If accepted by the Inhabitants of the town of Boston, shall be managed under the direction of the selectmen, united with' the ministers of the oldest Episcopalian, Congregational and Presbyterian churches in that town, who are to let out the same upon interest, at 5 per cent, per annum, to such young married artificers, under the age of twenty-five years, as have served an apprenticeship In the said town, and faithfully fulfilled the duties required In their Indentures, so as to obtain a good moral character from at least two respectable citizens, who are willing to become their sureties, in a bond with the appli cants, for the repayment of the moneys so lent, with interest, according to the terms hereinafter prescribed; all which bonds are to be taken for Spanish milled dollars, or the value thereof in current gold coin, and the managers shall keep a bound book or books, wherein shall be entered the names of those who shall apply for and receive the benefits of this Institution, and of their sureties, together with the sums lent, the dates and other necessary proper records respecting the business and concerns of this institution. And, as these loans are intended to assist young married artificers in setting up their business, they are to be proportioned, by the discretion of the managers, so as not to exceed sixty pounds sterling to one person, nor to be less than fifteen pounds, and, If the number of ap-pllers so entitled should be so large as that the sum will not suffice to afford to each as much as might otherwise not be improper, the proportion to each shall be diminished so as to afford to everyone some assistance.

These aids may, therefore, be small at first, but as the capital increases by the accumulated interest they will be more ample. And, In order to serve as many as possible in their turn, as well as to make the repayment of the principal borrowed more easy, each borrorer shall be obliged to pay, with the yearly interest, one-tenth part of the principal, which sums of principal and Interest, so paid in, shall be again let out to fresh borrowers. "And, as it is presumed that there will always be found In Boston virtuous and benevolent citizens, to bestow a part of their time in doing jrood to th rising generation, by superintending and managing this institution gratis, it is hoped that no part of the money will at any time be dead or be diverted to other purposes, but be continually augmenting by the interest; In which case there may, in time, be more than the occasions in Boston shall require, and then some may be spared to th neighboring or other towns in the said State of Massachusetts, who may desire to have it, such towns engaging to pay punctually the interest and the portions of the principal, annually, to the inhabitants of the town ot Boston. "If this plan is executed, and succeeds as projected without interruption for one hundred years, the sum will then be 131,000 pounds, of which I would have the managers of the donation to the town of Boston then lay out, at their discretion, 100,000 pounds in public works, which may be judged of most general utility to the inhabitants, such as fortifications, bridges, acqueducts, public buildings, baths, pavements or may make living in the town more convenient to its people and render it more agreeable to strangers resorting thither for health or a temporary residence. The remaining 31.000 pounds I would have continued to be let out on Interest in the manner above directed for another hundred years, as I hope it will have been found that the institution has a good effect on the conduct of youth and been of service to majiy worthy characters and useful citizens.

At the nd of this second term, if no unfortunate accident has prevented the operation, the sum will be 4.061.000 pounds sterling, of which I leave 1,061.000 to the- disposition of the inhabitants of the town of Boston and 3,000,000 to the disposition of the government of the State, not presuming to carry my views Several months ago steps were taken to carry out the provisions of the will. The investment had accumulated until it had reached nearly $450,000. The trustees of this fund are at present the following clergymen, who represent the oldest churches in their respective denominations: The Rev. Stopford Brooke, of the First Unitarian Church; the Rev. Charles W.

Duane, of Christ Church (ihe one identified with Paul Revere's famous ride), and the pastor of the Presbyterian church at Warren avenue and Berkeley street. The selectmen of the town of Boston were to co-operate with the clergymen of the denominations named. Boston has since become a city, and instead of selectmen she has a Board of Aldermen. It was at first supposed that the aldermen were the legal successors of the selectmen, and that they, with the clergymen named, would constitute the trustees. Consequently a commltte from the aldermen was appointed to act with the clergymen.

After mature consideration it was considered best to erect a trade school somewhat after the manner of those in New York, Philadelphia and other cities, and the committee made a trip to investigate the working of these schools. It was, after their return, decided to purchase a lot of land in a central position in the city, and bids were advertised for. In the meantime General Walker, of the Institute of Technology, proposed that the fund should be used In connection with his school, and presented some strong arguments in support of his proposition. Public sentiment, however, seems to be in favor of the trade school idea, as more nearly meeting the intent of the will of Franklin. Now doubts have arisen as to how this school can be maintained if it is established The conclusion first reached was that, Inasmuch as the selectmen are no longer in existence, the aldermen were their successors.

But the selectmen were the executive of t'ie town, while the aldermen are the legislators. Now as the Mayor is the executive, he is by some considered the proper representative of the city on that board of trustees. The Board of Aldermen is a shifting body, and its members could not always be relied upon for intelligent, discreet action In matters of this sort. And now the corporation counsel gives it as his opinion that the trustees could not legally establish an endowment fund to carry on the school with what is left after erecting the building aud equipping it with machinery, etc His advice, however, is not as much consequence, and it is altogether probable that a friendly suit will be brought to determine the exact status of the trustees, and determine their duties and prerogatives. Boston has no trade school.

A tyttem of manual training has been Introduced into the public schools, but this of course merely gives the pupils a hint as to what certain tools are made for, and is not intended to educate them as mechanics. The North End Lnlon, through the Indomitable energy of its superintendent, Samuel F. Hubbard, has aCded to its philanthropic work a plumbing school, which has proved highly successful in the short period it has been in operation. This is really a beginning on the trade school idea, but there are not sufficient funda with which to carry the dea into other branches. Li CTItIC RAILROAUIXG.

Steam a IVccesstty to the feneration of deetrlc Power. Electrical Review. The trolley arrangement for short distances has been brought to wondefful advancement, yet to connect cities far apart by trolley or underground conductors, we are arraia, win never give permanent satisfaction. The railroad train to be propelled by electricity must be independent, carry with it Its own power, like that of a train propelled by steam, and be always in ready order to run on any standard track. To effect this it must carry a steam pover to act on the generator and the latter on the motors connected with each car.

The question may be asked, where is the benefit of such a complicated arrangement If we cannot dispense with steam entirely? It is because we cn get more work out of a given power of than out of steam, and use steam only as a necessiry secondary agent in the process of traction. The steam power to be used should be In minimum degree to develop in consequence the highest electrical force that is possible. To bring this about there must bo a respective improvement in both machines to eecure the necessiry speed. This will mainly bring on a high velocity of both with the least possible resistance. Here it is speed more than force we need in the manipulation of electricity.

It 's true in mechanics speed Is in ratio of the force applied: tul where there is but little friction and lltrle resistance, speed, through Its momentum, carries for a time a conservation force of its own. This is much the nature Highest of ell in Leavening Power. of the force that discharges electricity from the dynamo, and meeting no resistance In Its flow through conductors, becomes cumulative and renders extraordinary power to the motors. The dynamo is not a perfect machine. The main defect in the dynamos now in general use is bulklness.

They surely are not Intended to pump wattr, but the most subtle fluid in nature. Then why this ponderosity? MINING TOWNS IN PEKIL. Colorado Forests Aflame ami Gold Hill Camp Ilurnlnft. BOULiDER, Nov. 13.

Fire in a saw mill west of the mining camp of Ward, starting last nigat, spread to the timber on the mountains and has been doing great damage and this morning caused intense excitement here by reason of sensational reports to the effect that the mining camps of Ward and Gold Hill had been burned to the ground. Ward, however, did not suffer, but Gold Hill was, at a late hour this afternoon, burning, and other camps are threatened. Gold Hill, having a population of five hundred. Is situated fourteen miles west of Boulder, and Ward, with a population of one thousand, is five miles further on. The fire started just west of Ward in the heavily timbered districts and swept to the east.

The inhabitants were alarmed early in the evening, dense clouds of smoke settling down on the camp. The fire spread through the dry pine timber with terrible rapidity and settlers along Its path were forced to leave their homes to burn and to get into the camps. The fire burning on the outskirts of Ward advanced toward Gold Hill and swept over an area of about eight miles. The fire Is spreading towards Cooper Rock, and it is believed many small camps will be burned. The residents of Gold Hill who have not come to Boulder have assem bled on the top of Horsefell mountain, and are watching tne progress of the fire.

The wind is blowlnjr furiously and drives tne fire before it In large sheets of fiames. The property loss cannot, at present, be told, but it will amount to over $2,000,000. There will, necessarily, be great destitution. Tne fire is spreading along ieitnana ana in the direction of Sunshine. Sunshine is two mile3 from Gold Hill.

Among tne im portant mines at Gold Hill for which fears are expressed are the Allmackee and CVtsh Beerkin. A courier reports the destruction of about one-half of the property of Camp Talcott and Prussian mine and mill. The timber around Gold Lake has been swept bare by the flames. The ranch house or Mr. Elv.

A fashionably-dressed young woman entered the shop of a florist on Fulton street, Brooklyn, and taking a small piece of cloth from her pocketbook laid it on the counter and said: "Can you match that in The florist examined the piece of cloth, which was olive green, and then replied: "Certainly; when do you want them?" "To-morrow night and I want half a dozen big ones. Please send them," and she gave the florist an address.

"Do you mean to say you can produce green chrysanthemums?" asked a young man who had been examining some roses and had listened to the conversation between the young woman and the florist with astonishment. "Certainly," replied the florist, "not only green, but any otiier color you want. If necessary we can give mixtures, half red, half blue, or half orange and half black; In fact, we can let you have anything you want in chrysanthemums, from pure white to the most livid of Scotch plaids." "Nonsense!" said the young man. "Do you mean to tell me that plaid chrysanthemums grow just -e same as "Would you like to see some?" interrupted the florist. "I certainly would," replied the young man.

The florist went to his Ice chest and brought out a vase filled with the most marvellously colored chrysanthemums. Some were of the brightest red while others ere sombre maroon. Then they were blue, black, pink and green. Others were half black and half white, some were half blue and half yellow, and still others contained many different colors. In, young man gazed in the display in amazement.

"I have some beautiful gray ones that were ordered yesterday," remarked the florist. "They're packed up, though, and I can't show them to you." "Never mind, I' can believe anything after this. But," and the young man scratched his head, "you can't make me believe that they grow that way." oeriamly not," said the florist. "I never said so. simply dyed, that's alL Every first-class florist dots it.

It has come to be a part of the business. You take the pure -white chrysan Ihemum and with the aid of fine dye you can transform them into any color in a few hours. It 'has really got to be the biggest part of our business. The women have gone crazy about them and that woman you just saw here Is a sample of the way they come in and order the flowers.

COLORADO'S WOMKX VOTERS. Impressions of People Wlio Believe In that Sort of Thins. Denver Republican.

The advocates of woman suffrage need desire no better basis from wr.ich to deducet arguments for their than the recent, election. That women wen the victory for-Colorado no just man will deny. That hundreds of men usually too indifierent or Indolent to exert themselves in a political campaign were shamed into interest and action by the unflagging energy of women is unquestionable. The women of this State proved that thejr could safely be trusted with the ballot. They proved, too, ihelr Independence oC thought and action, their freedom from th parrot-like qualities that the opponents of woman suffrage claimed would characterize their political work.

They were not mere echoes of the opinions of masculine-relatives and friends. As voters they demonstrated many other qualities with which, they are not always credited by men who grudge them the ballot. proved their ability to organize, to rise above small piques and personal 'grievances and work together for the best Interests of their State. As a whole, their votes were cast, from conscientious conviction, the issue between good government and anarchistic misrule being distinctly made. Assuredly the old stock argument that womanhood must be contaminated or even degraded by personal contact with the ballot-box is exploded by Tuesday's experience.

Never in Colorado's history was there a more bitter political contest. Never waa there more reason to expect brawling and. riot. But Denver records shiw no mor quiet and orderly election than the one just past. The majority of Americans, stand on too high a level of enlightenment and civilization to offer Insult or even annoyance to women who are quietly performing what they believe to be a duty, evem though the path to that dut leads directly to the polls.

Women attending theaters on "first nights" are more incommoded by Jostling- and crowding than they were at the polls. last Tuesday, and women at a "bargain sale" assuredly suffer more annoyance from close contact with undesirable and Impa tient neighbors than at any time while cast ing votes. Election day surely arforded a much-needed object lesson to opponents or equal suffrage. "Degradation from voting." "insult at the polls," "loss of womanly delicacy and refinement" have been tht arms to a windmill at which the Don Quixote of conservatism has been tlltlnt until they have become as real as the ep-tilian demons of a man with I).
