THE KANSAS CITY JOURNAL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2 1896. mm, Vmacj'i Sirs. Henry Ward Beccher. in a recent letter to the New York. 'World, tells some truths that thoughtless women should heed.

Mrs. Beecher says: It Is not unusual when women meet In a social way for them to speak in a half-Jesting manner of the shortcomings of their husbands. One begins, and of course the otheri assent and corroborate her assertions, each giving her own experience. It Is all done in a. good-natured way, of course.

They are the happiest and most cheerful company of martyrs that one could wish to see. Each wife would be ready for a battle in a moment if by her remarks anyone was led to Imagine that this same troublesome. Inefficient husband was not as near akin to the angels as mortal could be. But it must be confessed that one who sits by and listens at a social gathering could hardly fail to decide, mentally, that husbands must at best be troublesome comforts, needing constant watchfulness, advice or reproof. I recall a scrap that was given me entitled "Respect Due to "Wives," and which read like this: "Do not speak of great virtues In another's wife to remind your own of a fault." "Do not treat your wife Inattentively In company." "Never upbraid her In the presence of another." "Do not be stern and silent at home, but noted for your sociability elsewhere." I thought It excellent advice, and still think so, knowing it is often greatly needed.

But I see many reasons for believing that wives need these cautions quite ae much as their husbands do. I have sympathy and respect for husbands, believing they are equally entitled to respect and delicacy. 'While it is right that husbands should take these suggestions to heart, and in all ways endeavor to augment and strengthen the happiness of the home life, should not wives listen to like. suggestions and advice and endeavor to profit by them? Are we not equally blameworthy Ah! more so, lor tne home "Is where we may reign supreme if we hold the scepter with a gentle hand, and with the law of love and kindness ever, on our lips. I have known young people to begin life with the rich promise of perfect happiness, yet to make entire shipwreck of it all by their own unguarded words, impatient looks and uncontrolled temper.

A talent for spicy and brilliant repartee may enliven a party, give zest and Interest to social intercourse, and endow Its possessor with a certain position, enviable or otherwise; but In the home circle It Is a dangerous gift, and, unfortunately, one more frequently possessed by the wife than by the husband. I have often recoiled, as from a blow. on bearing those who" should be one in heart draw comparisons prejudicial to each food they not eat. The young wom-other and complimentary to others.

Think of It with me and Impartially with ourselves we may find enough of the same qualities In our own sex to establish our claims to sisterhood, at least. If not to equality. But admitting that those are purely masculine elements, which find no response in our own character, can we not learn a way to conquer and eradicate even these char- aUcnipt with her end-of-the-century inven-acterlstlcs in men If they prove undesirable Uons ln cookery to compete with the ed- ana uncomionamei Small blemishes ln the character of hus-' band or wife, through the imagination, or if oft repealed, begin to be thought of as serious faults that threaten much unhap- plness.

that VnI-l trt IrtrtV lllrA the shortcomings that begin to look like faults in her husband's character, and take an honest Inventory of her own failures or mistakes. The same rule will be a safe- guard for the husband to follow. They will need no magnifying glass to find plenty of faults. Having found them, place them, honestly, side by side with what seems wrong on the other side, and I doubt If either will feel Inclined to carry the Investigation further. If they are fair-minded, both will rest content and will bless the union which God has sanctioned.

The twenty-third annual meeting of the Fortnightly ot Chicago was held ln that city last week. The Fortnightly is a club an association, but it tacks no such word after Its resonant name. In the very be- glnnlngs of things the Fortnightly is unique. It Is more for It Is exclusive, limited and literary. For years 173 was all the membership that the constitution would allow.

Two years ago this was raised to 200. The annual convention of the Associated Alumnae of Women's Colleges will be held in Providence. October 30 and 31, by invitation of the Rhode Island branch of the Collegiate Alumnae, of which Mrs. Louie Prlsser Bates is president. Mrs Alice Bradford Wiles, who succeeds English woman may spend Just as much Sirs.

A group of club women in Chicago known ns "The Daughters of the Sun" has a wonderfully Interesting and ambitious course of study. They s'udy thoroughly every country, and beginning where the sun does in the calculations of astronomy, they follow him around the. globe. They omit nothing from meteorology to geology, and they take ln the hltory, biography, arts, literature and politics of each land they touch.

This organization, which is limited to thirty members, was founded In ISM. by Mrs. Mary Emerson, and was the first woman's club of the many now existing on tho Chicago West side. The annual conventions of several state federations have engrossed the attention of club women during this month. Maine met at Portland last week by Invitation of the Women's Literary Union; New Hamp shire at Manchester; Vermont at Uarre; sihlo at Cleveland, ana Illinois at Spring- field the week before.

Mrs. Alice Ives Breed, the national vice president, was the guest of honor at the New Hampshire and Vermont conventions. At Portland addresses were made by Miss Amy Homans and Miss Anna Barrows, of Boston, and many entertaining papers upon various topic, were presented by the state of Maine club women. A very Interesting historical address was given by Mrs. Eunice Frye, of Portland, and Mrs.

Etta S. Osgood, of the national board of directors, gave the greeting from the general federation. The Archaeological congress of Russia is presided over by the woman who founded it. in 1S69. Countess Praskowja Sergejewna Uwarow is her name and she Is a distinguished archaeologist.

WHAT OXE WOMAN" THINKS. Adaptability Often Drawback; to Sncc'oH in Business Life. The most adaptable and most versatile member of my sex is tho business woman. Whether she has a real estate and Insurance business or fills a civil service place; whether she teaches, writes or canvasses, sho expects the same achievement along certain other lines as a woman of leisure, says a writer in the New York Tribune. In watching the struggles of the members of my sex in the business world, the obstacles they surmount and their achievements, pitiable, pathetic, as they often are, it seems to me nine-tenths of the ambition of the world is possessed "by the women.

Every one of us knows, of some brave, feminine creature who is trying to fill the place of 'mother, breadwinner, cook, nursery maid, seamstress; In short, all the duties ot the domestic circle. She meets no great measure of success from the world's point of view, as a rule, but she never for one instant doubts her ability and obligation. The business world smiles at her business methods. The business world hates to do business with a woman. Haven't you often heard the business world say It? Certainly, you have.

Poor" fledging that she is! Her flight is so hindered by inexperience. With wings unclipped and the same concentration of 'purpose she would soar beyond the stars. I believe that. It is the adaptability and the versatility of the business woman that militate against her success. Those of my sex who have become skilled specialists more easily avoid the pitfalls than -the merely expeditious among us; but even speclallts get mixed up with the Bearthstones and dusters and teacups.

I have canvassed among the specialists for information as to the general needs of 'the business woman. The dress reformer assures me that the thing mpst needed by the business woman is a business dress; one that will not fray out around the edge of the skirt and trail and dip in mud and dust. The food specialist tells me that what business woman needs more than anything is a proper diet, and she lays out a plan that assures me that she has given thought to the subject. She says women abuso their digestive organism not eating fnnA'ihnv ehmilrt pat and eatinir the A physical culture specialist expressed herself volubly on the subject of physical development as the crying need of the bus- womn.

Many people wonder why the French woman spends so much money on dainty silk linings for skirts, for silken petticoats and for fine shoes, and silk and nice stockings. Hut, after watching a few of these winome ladies walk, the question is easily answered.

The typical Parislcnne miss walks in such a way that the lining of her skirt her underskirts and bewitching hosiery and shoes form an indescribable m. nt fliifiinpso The American or by her broad soled walking shoes while the Paris dame enhances her graces bv caring high-heeled ties fastened with smart bows or buckles. In Choosing Green. Though pale olive and other shades of green are much used for wall coverings of paper and in woven stuffs, as well as for draperies, they should never be decided upon until they are seen by artificial light as some' of the shades of olive that are rich a'nd beautiful by the light of day have a gloomy brown shade that no amount of artificial light will change. On Trial.

"Marian, here's a dray stopping at our door with a piano, a sewing machine and a parrot There must be a mistake in the number." "No, dear; they belong to our new cook. She's a graduate of the school of cooking and has kindly consented to try us." De- troit Free Press. TYPES OP ENGLISH An She la Seen In the Chase, at Lnnch nnd in Her Best and Worst Dreaa. There are various types ot the English woman, some of them compare favorably, others very unfavorably, with the American woman. Tis and pity 'tis 'tis true, that some of the bad habits or customs of English women arc being copied by the American women.

Tho hard-hean-edness and Cruelty of the L'ngllsn 'sportswoman make a case in point. 'Tls a fine day!" she says. "Come out and kill something!" So she puts on her short, leather trimmed skirts, takes hr gun and goes out to bring down the the deer and the foxes. She sits in the shade of the trees and enjoys her hunt luncheon cf steak and kidney pie and like atrocities in the way of edibles, with marks of animal blood upon her thick-soled boots and with in earshot of the agonizing groans of her dying victims. She has wounded a bird, 'but not unto death, yet she eats her steak and kidney pie without a qualm! She is the worst type of the English woman this cold blooded assassin of God's innocent creatures.

She is heartless and cruel to her very depths. If she is married and a mother and she frequently Is her children are left entirely to the care of the hirelings, and the wet nurse reigns ever in' the nursery. And the American women would copy her and become "sportswomen!" But the English sportswoman is only one type of English women, and for that we have reason to be grateful. And the English woman's clothes? How does she dres as compared with the American woman? Well, ery badly that Is, if she dresses herself! Give her a handsome Paris gown, let her array herself 't and look at her! There is something wrong. It is not put on right, though difficult to say Just what is the trouble.

The dress Is not bottom side up. It is not upside down, and it is not wrong side out; we will admit that, but there is an indefinable something that ought to be there, but isn't Get her a French maid. Ah, madame! A little alteration! A pull here, a Jerk there, a twist somewhere else!" says the French woman, as she manipulates the costume, and behold! The English woman is trans formed and looks stylish! Why can't she do it herself? Nobody knows! But the American woman, with that same gown will not need the French maid. She will have the maid if she can afford it. Trust her for that! But she can put on that dress and look "too utterly utter," and no thanks to anybody but herself.

Nevertheless, that same English woman who is so dependent upon her French maid for the touch that makes up "style" Is not dependent upon anybody but herself or anything but her own graclouB manners to make the most delightful hostess in the world. She extends her hand and softly welcomes you to her home and you are happy. She pours our tea and hands It to you with such charming grace and lack of self-consciousness that you take that tea and drink it, whether you want it or not And she has such a sweet way, this English hostess, of taking you for granted. She does not deluge you with questions or attempt an undue prying into your affairs. In short; as a hostess, the English gentlewoman is perfect.

Conesdon, who recently won fame for herself by her predictions regarding cyclones, has had named after her a tiny thing which women call a bonnet and men dub a folly. It Is a bit of tulle gold, ribbon and a cluster of diamond butterflies, and would seem to be about the size for theater wear. Indeed, these gold lace and spangled effects look i well only for such occasions.

A PRETTY SCREEN. Bamboo provides a pretty framework for this screen, the center of which Is dull green gros grain silk elaborately embroidered with gold and silver coid and spangles. SOME GIDDY STOCKINGS. Beautifully Shaped, of Conrae, and in Colors ot the Rainbow. The craze for things changeable has reached stockings, and the same effect that one finds in taffetas and other fabrics is shown in the hose.

Blue and green is a favorite combination, and brown and violet, while the long line of colors made common on the dress goods counters Is carried out in the stockings. Clocks are usually embroidered ln silk on this style of stocking, and the effect is very pretty, one very handsome and dcll-cato pair being ot lilac and gold color. with darker lilac clocks. A slender oblong piece of lace let into the instep of fashionable stockings is an extravagant and charming fancy. It is black or white or ecru or cream, according to taste, but it of the most delicate pattern, so mat the tint of the flesh shows through plainly.

Imagine a delicate silk stocking ln changeable lavender and green, with a delicate black Chantllly Instep showing plainly the flesh beneath, or a pair of snowy white silk ones with a white point lace instep with the charming sea shell tints gleaming through. The lace Is not set In plainly at the edges, but Is cut out ln fanciful fashion in scroll design. Miss Gertrude Vanderbllt, now Mrs. Harry Whitney, had a great many of these stockings in her trousseau. Another scheme for combining lace with hosiery is in the insertion fashion, silk stockings of the most expensive variety having stripes of delicate lace an Inch wide, setjn the whole lenrth, showing the leg 'through and giving a most charming effect This Is most popular In black stockings, for the openwork quality of the lace gives enough variety so that color is not needed.

Other stocklpgs retaining the black of other days have rows of fine cut jets sewn over the Instep, giving a very glittering effect. It is said that Mrs. Langtry has stockings embroidered in this way with preclpus stones, and also that tho young Duchess of Marlborough has a few pairs of white silk stockings embroidered ln real pearls, but a pinch of salt is needed with these, I fancy. HINTS FOR SHUT-INS. As one of the latest fads Is collecting silhouettes, not only those of past and gone forefathers, but of one's friends of the present generation, there Is no more successful way of entertaining a few people Informally than in making these shadow pictures, says a writer In an exchange.

The idea Is as yet unhackneyed, but, as everyone Is Interested ln his or her physiognomy, It Is destined to have a great vogue. The hostess purchases a dozen or more large sheets of paper, black on one side and white on the other, and as many sheets ot plain white cardboard. A sheet, of black paper is fastened to the wall with the white side out A candle is lighted and set upon a table that Is placed Immediately opposite the paper, and about two feet distant from it The guest is seated between the candle and the wall, so that a strongly and sharply- defined shadow of her profile falls upon the paper. Some one with a steady nana then steps forward and traces this shadow with a pencil, the guest sitting motionless mean while. When traced it is cut out with scissors, turned over and stuck on to the cardboard, with, of course, the black face of the paper up.

In this way an exact profile is caught, and the silhouettes, although much larger than the tiny ones cut at slant ln our grandfather's time, are more lifelike. Each guest receives his own counterfeit presentment, and a great deal of fun follows in exchanging shadow pictures, most of them declaring that they are not as black as they are painted. JAHES GABVEYISDEAD HEART DISEASE CLAIMS THE POP-ULAR RAILROAD MAN. WAS ILL BUT A FEW HOURS. THE SAD OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AT MOBERLY YESTERDAY.

The Elks, of Which He Was a Meui-lier, Paas Reaolutlona Funeral From Trinity Episcopal Church This Afternoon. Moberly, Oct 24. (Special.) James Garvey, traveling passenger agent ot the Wabash railroad, with headquarters at Kansas City, died In this city a- 3:50 p. supposed to have been cauaud by heart failure. He was first taken ill on show grounds of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, where he was soliciting business for his company from members of the show, which disbanded here to-day.

Ho was accompanied by Mr. H. N. Garland, Western passenger agent Wabash railway, when first taken sick. Ills first illness consisted of a vomiting spell, which was not considered at all serious, but he was immediately taken JAMES GARVEY, Traveling Passenger Agent for the Wabash, Who Died at Moberly Yesterday Afternoon.

ln a carriage to the Wabash hospital by Mr. Garland, where he was given every attention. He sank very rapidly, being rational up to about twenty minutes before passing away. When he fell Into a easy sleep, from which he never awoke. His remains will be taken to Kansas City on early morning train, where his lodge will take charge of his remains.

Mr. Garvey has been with the Wabash for a number of years as traveling pas- senger agent, and was considered one of the best men of his calling and his death will be regretted by a large circle of friends and business acquaintances. The telegram announcing Mr. death was received at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon by the relatives of the deceased. The news came like a thunder clap and created the most profound surprise.

Mr. Garvey left this city yesterday morning with Henry N. Garland, the Western ticket -and passenger agent of the Wabash. He was in his usual robust health. Railroad men and friends on hearing the news gathered at the Victoria hotel, whero Mr.

Garvey made his home, and discussed tho sad news of his death. James Garvey was born ln Limerick. Ireland, fifty-six years ago. When 6 years of age he moved with his parents to New York city, where he received his education under David B. Scott the great historian.

A few years previous to the breaking out of the civil war he went to New Orleans, where he engaged ln the brokerage business. When the war began he was among the first to enlist He joined the celebrated Louisiana Tigers and served as a private ln all the hazardous battles of the war, up to the time of his being captured, at the battle of Gettysburg, and placed a prisoner in Fort Delaware, where he was held for twenty-two months. After the war ne went to St Louis, where he engaged In the grain business. He became one of the prominent members of the board of trade at the time Robert Hamilton, the big pork packer, was president of It. In 1871 he married Miss Mary Hamilton, daughter of Robert Hamilton.

A few years ago he went Into the architectural Iron business and was connected with T. R. Prells Shrlckely. Harris then with the foundries of Ketch-em Hough, of Indianapolis. He left the Iron business and went into the decorative molding business with his father, who had removed from New York city to St Louis, with their offices ln the old Planters' hotel building.

This business was conducted successfully, but at the death of his father a few years later he sold out the business to accept the position or traveling passenger agent of the Atlantic Great Western railroad, now the New York, Pennsylvania Ohio division of the Erie system. Although he took this position with no railroad experience whatever, his genial and happy manners, together with his ever ready wit, soon made him one of the most valuablo men In that position in the employ of the company. He severed his connection with the Atlantic Pacific railroad to accept the same 'position at a more remunerative salary with the Toledo, Wabash Western railroad, his territory being the division east of St. Louis. When the Western division of the Wabash was consolidated with the Eastern division, Mr.

Garvey was transferred to the Western division of the road with his headquarters ln this city. During his reEtdOTce in this city. Mr. Garvey has made a host of friends. Probably no man of his position was better and more favorably known among both the railroad men of "the Wst and the traveling public.

With his wife he has made his home at the Victoria hotel. The only order or lodge with which he was affiliated was the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, one of the lending social clubs of Kansas City. Or this order he was past exalted ruler, and Ms death is th first one of that title since the organization of tho Elks ln Kansas City. Mr. Garvey leaves his wife and no children both ot his children having died while he was residing ln St Louis.

Four brothers- survive him: Walter J. "Carrey, a contractor, of St Louis; Richard Garvey, president of the Angelo Mexican Land Company, of Lcs AngeJes Chaifea Garvey, an Insurance man, of New Orleans, and H. A. Garvey, secretary of the Lltho-marllte Manufacturing Company, of New York city. H.

A. Gorver has been in Kansas City for several days visitirar his brother and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Gilbert Planck, ot 1340 East Ninth street His presence in the city under the sad circumstances is extremely fortunate. When he nwtvKil the news of the sudden dtath of his brother, who had left his wife In ap- parently the most roDUSt neaiin yesieroay morning, he went to her apartments in the Victoria hotel and prepared her for tho sudden and sad news. At the meeting of the Elks last evening, the following resolutions were adopted and arrangements were made for the funeral services: "Whereas, The Almighty, in His inscrutable wisdom, has taken from our midst our beloved brother.

Past Exalted Ruler James Garvey, the loving husband, the faithful citizen, the true and loyal friend. "Resolved, That while humbly bowing to the will of God, we can never forget the love and kindness always shown by our beloved brother, who possessed In an eminent degree all the virtues our order teaches, and whose dally life" and actions were the exemplifications of charity, justice and brotherly love, with "Resolved, That we tender to his bereaved widow our heartfelt sympathy In this her hour of affliction and remind the living of the consoling thought 'that out of the darkness of the grave spring the brightest hopes of Immortality."

lAs a result of bravery In an attempt to save the lives of several small children yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Kate McDonald, a widow, about oj years old, is now confined to her room with a badly lacerated face and bruised body and limbs. Mrs. McDonald was watching the Sound Money -parade about 3 o'clock in the vicinity of. Fifteenth and McGee streets, when she saw a horse hitched to a cart, in which sat a man, coming tearing south on McGee street.

She saw at a glance that the horse would knock down several small chllJren standing In the street unless they were fright ened out of the way. Accordingly, notwithstanding the terrified horse was near upon the children, Mrs. McDonald dashed Into the. street ln front of the horse, scattering children right and left She got all out the the way save little Tilda Miller, the 4-year-old daughter of a groceryman at 143S McGee street, and herself, when the horse plunged among them. Mrs.

McDonald, like the Miller child, did not get clear of the runaway and was caught in one of the wheels of the cart and she was dragged several yards before the garment parted and left her bleeding and exhausted ln the street The Miller child was struck In the head by one of the hubs on the cart and knocked senseless. She was carried into her home, where medical, attendance was provided for her. She will not die, though seriously injured. The police ambulance was summoned and Mrs. McDonald was removed to her home at 2213 Grove street, where she Is said to be resting easy.

The heroic act of Mrs. McDonald was witnessed by several hundred people. Republicans Meet in Turner Hall. Clarence F. Mead, ot Scammon, Mead Stubenrauch, and W.

In a speech delivered at the Democratic rally at Independence last evening, Frank Lowe, candidate for prosecuting attorney, said that any man who would post up a. bill calling attention to the election thefts and forgeries of two-years ago ought to be "run out of town." The statement was called out by the fact that certain men In Independence posted there some bills orf which were printed references to the gang frauds of 1S9L Mr. Lowe dqesn't like to have his friends condemned publicly.

Of course, ho is sore over the woes of the gang, and is inclined to resent any condemnation that might be urged against them. He was nominated by the same Influences that directed the gang frauds, and all of the election thieves and ballot box stutters are found among his supporters, and a. loyal candidate he Is bound to care for them.
