A Ian Whose Blane strikes 'i‘errer to
lvlltloere of New York.
Aiew years ago, a friend said to the
writer that the finest, most Intellectual
sermons heard in New York were deliver-
‘ ad by Rev. ”Dr. Charles H. Parkhuret, in
the Msdison tiquere Prebyteriau Church.
Of their high character there was Ino
doubt, and the ability of their author
was recognized. But none guessed that
the pale, scholarly divine was a warrior
with whose name the metropolis would
be ringing in 1894, and whose fame would
carry dread to every corruptionist of the
metropolis. But so it is, and the political
and official circles of the metropolis
have. through him, received such a sink
lug up as has seldom been seen. The
startling disclosures of the Lexow Com«
mittee; the disgrace of bribe-takingpo-
linemen, and the other events tending to
the purification of New York had their
Inception in the work of Dr. Park-
hurst. .
In a long study of the character of this
Merkable men a writer in the New
York Herald says:
In person, Dr. Parkhurst is a rather
email, fine bred, extremely gentlemaniy
man, whose spiritual workings display
themselves in every motion of the physic-
al machine. He is eloquent and animated
in every organ and member as he is in
every thought or word. That wonderful-
ly native quality of nervous activity which
the world dignifies with the adjective
“American” essentially belongs to him.
His intellectual and vital electricity con.
etantly flashes and sparkles. One can
really see in him, most percoptibly, too,
the perpetual play of what science calls
"co-ordination.” ills gestures, his smiles,
his frowns, the flash of his eye, the curl
of his lip, are instantaneous translations
of an idea in the brain, an emotion of the
heart, a decision of the mind, a mood of
the spirit.
He abhors wrong. So he Would, if he
could, even persecute those who practise
and permit wrong. It is because of his
detestation of the wicked act that he
draws the sword and smitcs the wicked
agent. It is a distinctly human passion,
his work of reform; a distinctly human
note, pitched to a distinctly spiritual and
supernatural key.

He is distinctly American, too, in that
he always gets down to strict business.
His very discussion of his owu methods
has the exactness of the counting house.
He applies the logical solvent of pure
mathcnmlics to all morul problems.
Tropes and metaphors and obstruct treat—
ment lie centuries behind him. His are
not only the methods of today; they
are the strutcgctics of the l‘uitcd States.
He wngcs a spiritual us well us a moral

of Independence. A Woman must be
Queen of Something, Why Not of Men.
“Can women be as happy unmarried as
married?" said a prominent physician,
who has had opportunity to study the
question, the other day. “No,I do not
think so. In the first place, an unmarried
woman has not the same sort of youth
preserving interests that a married one
has. Moreover, unless she is a women
of remarkable character she cannot fail
to grow more or less 'set' and selfish; and
it is surprising to know how much men~
tal states affect the health. “Why," con-
tinued the doctor, warming to her sub-

terests. It is not enough for her to be a

The doctor paused and looked as though
she were reflecting on the sud lot of num-
erous patients. Then she rouscd herself
and went on:
"It isn't so bad when one is twenty or
twenty-five. lint it’s a little worsc when
one is o'ver thirty, and sadder and more
trying still after forty. At first the eu-
thusinsm. the novelty and freshness make
life interesting enough and full enough,
but little by little the glamour fades and
her profession is not enough. Women are
so constituted that they live largely in
the emotions. They need a home—and a
home menus husband and children.
There are very few women large-sound
and broad-minded enough to expend their
affections wisely, to keep their hearts
young and fresh through such remote
and impersonal means as hospitals and
flower missions. There are a few, of course,
but cheery, unselfish and young as they
manage to keep themselves one always
feels that even they Would hare been

"One great trouble with this present
hue and cry about woman's work and her
independence,” continued the doctor, "is
that it makes the young womcn put of!

STORIES OF PROFESGOR SWING.
Wit and III-sea Nature in the [an All
‘ ‘ Chloe's Thought Well 01.
A reporter who enjoyed the late Prof.
Swiug’s acquaintance met him early one
Sunday morning at the corner of North
State and Division streets waiting for a
car to take him toCentrsl Music Hall.
On that corner is a building, the windows
of which bear the familiar legend, “Fam-
lly Resort." Outside, a stairway leads to
a basement, and on the iron guard rail
around it sat Prof. Swing with coat-tails
parted, complacently whittling a piece of
wood. Directly in front of him stood a
telegraph pole braced by a stout iron rod.
It had ruined the night before and water
stood deep in the gutters. A party of
small boys were tempting a ducking by
swinging from the curb out round the
33m brace and back again to the other
e.
As the reporter approached Prof. Swing
paused in his whittling and dryly ro-
marked:
“l've been watching those boys swing
around that iron rod, and l've been won-
dering if [could do it, too. lie you think
Icouldi My name is Swing, you know,
and i guess that iron is strong enough to
hold me."
The reporter admitted he had no idea
01' the minister's athletic. powers, but
volunteered to try it in advance. He did
so and stepped into the water.
“I can heat that, any way,” remarked
Prof. Swing. “You hold my knife and
I‘ll show you.”
He took a firm grasp of the rod, and out
into a horizontal position flew his legs
and coat-tails.
“There, what did i tell you ?" he posted
ashe reached the curb safely. “1 often
had harder things to do than that.”
Then the our came along and Prof.
Swing proceeded to his duties in the Gen-
tral Church.
One slippery winter mornin Prof.
Swing was snuntering slowly along Scott
street near his home. The stone pave
ment was covered with ice from the fall-
ing sleet and pedestrians were generally
choosing the safer footing of the road—
way. ()zxpositc Prof. Swing a woman who
lived in. in neighborhood was cautiously
picking her way over the glare' of ice.
Suddenly the catastrophe came and with-
out warning her feet flew out and she
came down hard upon the sidewalk.
Prof. Swing paused to satisfy himself
that she was not seriously injured. Then
he remarked;
“Mrs. 5—, i think you are every good
woman."
Slightly piqued at his remark, and at
the same time at her predicament. she re-
torted:
“I don't know why.
mean?"
“Scripture has it," gravely replied
Prof. Swing, "that ‘iho wicked stand in
slippery places.’ You seem to bc sitling
down."
Auolhcr ultcruoon n reporter met Prof.
Swing in a North Side (1 r. if was during
the last grund opcrn scnson.
“l'm going in dissipate n little this

“I am going tothe lunlincc,“ hc replied.
“So am I," came the answcr.
"Ah, well,” exclaimed l'rof, Swing
warmly, “but you haven‘t seen my girls.
What would ‘l.uciu di lmnnu-ruloor’ be
without them?"
lmter the reporter saw the "girls."
Early in the llrst act Prof. Swing walked
down the aisle smiling and happy. ilold-

pretty little girls, both under 1.": ycnrs of
