A striking victory has been gained in Turkey for American diplomacy in Be« curing official recognition from the Government of. the Parts for female physicians. _ _ Heretofore women have been refused Turkish diplomas entitling them to practice, and have been denied all the privileges usually extended to medical practitioners. However, as many of the women missionaries in the Ameri- can College and elsewhere had been thoroughly trained, a special effort has been made by Minister Terrel, which has at length been crowned with suc- cess. Turkish conservatism has at last yielded to the pressure brought upon it by Western civilisation, and. it» is a credit to this country that American di- plomacy has triumphed where Russian, French, British and German Ambassa- dors have failed. + The Other Slde. A good Democratic editor rises up and defends the administration anent the Hawaiian “incident” thusly : “The Republican papers are doing their besi. to depreciate Mr. Clchland by charging him with monarch cal sym- pathies in the Hawaii matter. Such a charge'is a lie on the face of it. The late President Harrison was so eager for a little cheap popularity that he be- came a party to the conspiracy which overthrew the toy kingdom two thou- sand miles from the Pacific coast. The incoming President could not do other- wise than continue, until the return of Commissioner Blount, relations with the , prpvisional government of Dolei'.‘ , "It was distinctly set forth by Mr. Thurs- ton,.the accredited Minister to the United States, that the _Dole govern- ment was intended only to last until annexation of the islands. Secretary Gresham took the ground, in common with the President, that the United States Government was above conspir- acy, and hence Minister Stevens and. Captain Wiltze, of the Boston, now dead, could not be permitted to com- promise the honor of our country by using force to dethrone the Hawaiian Queen. The present Minister, Willis, did not bear instructions, as this paper surmised. to use anything but moral suasion. The object of the President and Secretary of State evidently is to so arrange matters that the islanders can be free to choose their own form of government. No force would be used save to protect the lives and property of citizens of the United States resid- ing temporarily in the Hawaiian Is- lands. The wrongdoer was Benjamin Harrison, and Mr. Cleveland only de- sires to undo the wrong. Mr. Cleve- land has too clear a head to declare war against the p ovisional .govern- ment. That he could not do without Congress. The vindictive and partisan press are running amuck which will only injure themselves. Dole was still Provisional President.” Journalism and Partlsanship. William Walter Phelps. late Minister to Berlin, in a speech at the Chamber of Commerce dinner in New York said some interesting things about certain changes that have been taking place in the United States during the four years he has spent abroad. Summed up in a sentence, he finds American newspapers following rather than lead- ing public sentiment, with a tendency to personalism and illustration; he finds rigid partisanship on the decline and Americans taking life more easily and with less useless worry and anxiety. The first mentioned development he doesn’t take to very kindly, but finds only cause for gratification in the other two. , Mr. Phelps’ criticism of the tendency to personalism in the newspapers, which he regards as an appeal to the weakness and vanity of mankind, with a view to an increased circulation, is a caustic one, though clothed in courteous lan- guage. He thinks the new methods in journalism have made the people omnivorous newspaper readérs, with the result that having read both sides on party issues, instead of only one as in the old days, an increasing num— ber are learning to discriminatepto think for themselves and-not take for granted everything they read in the - organsof their respective political par- ties. T_his general readingof the news- papers,he declares, as much to do with . the grewing tendency to scratch . the straight ticket, which has come to stay, whether the old partisans like it or not. Coupling Mr. Phelps’ criticism with what he concedes,.the newspapers will probably keep on their wonted way, laying the flattering unction to their souls, that their witty critic himself being the judge, they are doing a very good work in the public interest after all. If, by appealing to the vanity ard weakness of human nature reads more newspapers, becomes more intelligent, better able to judge of the merits of . parties and candidates, more willing to ' cross party lines to defeat badcandi- dates-and elect good ones—in short, becomes more the citizen and patriot and less the hide-bound partisan—the and attained is certainly a good one. If the. ‘vanity and weakness of human nature can be directed to so good a. purpose by the independent journal, it is doubtful if a. return to the old style of newspapers would improve things much TERSE TALES 0t 1 HIE nuts.

The church Was tastefully decorated, and there were nearly three hundred delegates present represent- ing over sixty churches. ' Rev. D. G. Downey presided and the different reports were read a... accept. ed. The reports showed a healthy growth of the society. . In the atternoon Rev. A. H. Wyatt in a. very appropriate address made all welcome, and his remarks were happily responded to by Rev. D. G. Downey, of Stamford. ' The leading topic was “The Evolu- tion of the Boy” which was fully and ably discussed. There was a praise service at 7:30 o’clock, followed by an address by Rev. J. M. Buckley, editor of the Christian Advocate. The church was filled and those who were, present. Were treated to a very interesting and entertaining talk on “.l‘he Epworth and How to Make it a Success.” The election of oflicers resulted as follows: President, Rev, S. 0.

Complaint is made that the canine at the Y. Jung La'lies’ Institute on Orchard street should eithefr be “housed” dur- ing the .day or killed. Although the dog may be perfectly harmless in the way of biting anyone, it certainly suc ceeds in frightening young children in its mad barking and capers. One day this _week a little child was nearly frightened into hysterics by the dog and it is stated that this is not of un- frequent occurrence. There is also complaint made of the “antics” of the canine at the Methodist parsonage.

Show them that-their efforts to please .are appreciated by giving them rousing good houses on both evenings. MUSIC HALL. There is only one Lew Dockstader, and it may be put down as very certain that whatever he attempts in the min- strel line will be carried through to brilliant success. Next Tuesday even- idg Mr. Dockstader and his newly or- ganized company will give one of their superb performances at Music Hall, and it is a‘matter of fact that the house will be crowded to its greatest capacity. Among' the leading fun-makers are George Powers, comedian and banjo soloist; Frank Dumont, “ The Minstrel Shakespeare,” who has arranged a very funny sketch, called “ Chicago World’s Fair C omfurts." There are eight cul- tivated Vocal soloists and a large and Well trained chorus; also, a fine band and orchestra, under the direction of Prof. Ad. Stork. . Laloo, the double-bodied boy will ap- pear at Music 'Hall on Wednesday even- ing, Nov. 29th, with his own European Novelty company.

(BI MISS N 6130131.) Double-heart brooches of pink tOpaz and.aquamarine entwined in large true lover’s knots of diamonds are the latest fad.. It is not considered correct to use the expresston “making” calls." One should say “paying visits.” One goes to pay a visit, not to make a call. When a girl is ill she says that she’d .give everything she owns to be well, and when she is well she scolds and frets because she can have only one m w hat. Whenever one girl tells another girl about her troubles with her dressmaker, the other girl has a. tale of woe twice as long and twice as harrowing to tell in return. The superstition regarding opals evi- dently has gathered itself together and shuffled off. Every girl that can secure an opal ring appears to be Wearing one just now. A charming gown for a young lady has a skirt of silver-gray crepon, trimmed with three rows of white satin ribbon and a sash of the same material, tied in front. with ends reaching to the ground. The waist is a blouse of rose- colored surah with insertion of white gulpure up and down the waist and sleeves and around the collar. This is to be a “fur season. everything—party dresses, tea gowns, wraps—is in style. The butterfly cape is one of the season’s novelties. It is pleated over the shoulders and has a turn-down collar. We are to have short- boas this winter, and those that simply encircle the neck, showing the head of the animal, are so arranged that they have but one falling end. The particu- lar craze is for ermine, and lucky is the woman who can go to an old trunk and take out an ermine cape of her mother’s or grandmother’s, for she can wear .t down the street without the least alter- ation. Even in milllnery sable-tails are utilized, being previously wired and made to stand upright wherever they are wanted on hats and bonnets. A. new fur is called caricule or biti lamb. It is a species of Astrachan. taken from the Persian lamb in extreme youth. It is satin-like and very flexible. I have often noticed while on the ave- nue how discourteous some gentlemen —they would be highly offended if I should call them anything else than gen- tlemen-.—are to ladies. I have seen them meet a lady acquaintance and pass her with a simple nod, never deigning to lift their hat, as a true gen- tlenian should. Again, I have seen one of these pretended gentleman meet a. gentleman friend walking with a lady and pass him with a hello Bill! for; et- ting all about the respect due to the lady. I must say, in all truthfulness,that in all my traVels I neVer was in a town Where the men treat the ladies with as little reeliect as in Norwalk. Especial- ly is this true of the theatres and horse cars where men, who pass for gentle- men, openly insult the lad es, present by their course laughter and profane language, not to mention puffing to- bacco and vile cigargette smoke in their faces. Again it is almost impossible for a lady to pass through the business portion of Norw-alk without having to run the gauntlet of a crowd of young men located before Some doorway or standing on a convenient corner filling the air with vile and profane language and expectorating fi thy tobacco juice in all directions. I hope to see this remedied sometime,for a gentleman can never be too civil or points to a lady either at home, at the theatre, on the cars or street. ' .- ——————< .. CHURCH SERVICES.

Revival in Certain Lines. Cold Weather Has a Stimulating Effect in ' Many Quarters Which Promises to Mark the Opening of the New Year —-Review of the Week. New Yonx, Nov. 25. —A feature of the business situation for the week just clos- ing, as noted by Bradstreet from a sum- mary of private telegrams,.. has. been the stimulus to sales of seasonable staples by colder weather at Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Duluth and St. Paul, at all of which centres win- ter clothing, fiannels, shoes, hats, and in. some instances‘ hardware, have been in great demand by country merchants. In- quiry in the city trade is smaller. Second only in importance are improved collec- tions at Atlanta, Chattanooga, Louisville, St. Paul and Duluth. I Symptoms of Revival. A tendency to make terms for purchases of iron and steel for future delivery at Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis constitute additional symptoms of a revival in those industries, the beginning of which promise to mark the opening of the new year. There is no advance in prices of commoner grades of iron or steel, both selling at lowest figures on record. The nominal advance in rails is because leading makers have renewed their agree- ments. ‘ Pig iron production isincreasing slowly, and the total output for the year promises to reach 7,540,000 gross tons, a total 17 per cent. smaller than in 1892. ~ The relatively stiff prices for wool at western centres places that staple there above a parity with eastern quotations and checks the movement. Dry Goods Trade lVIodcrate. ‘ Leading dry goods jobbers at larger dis- tributing points report only a moderate volume of business, but take encourage- ment from the unexpectedly brisk demand and good prices realized at the auction sale of staple and fancy cotton goods at New York. New England cotton mills report sales slow and the demand for woolens dull, yet woolen manufacturers have a few orders ahead and more are starting up. Bradstrcet’s estimate of domestic wheat available for export during the remaining months of the cereal year indicate that nearly 2,000,000 bushels of wheat are likely to prove available for export weekly, if needed, notwithstanding our having exported more than 80,000,000 bushels to the middle of. November. Exports of wheat and flour as wheat, both coasts, this week, aggregate 2,784, 000 bushels, contrasted with 2,645, 000 bushels last week, 3,465,- 000 bushels in the third week of November last year,‘ and 4,082,000 bushels in the week of 1891. Business Failures. Business failures number 358 in the United States in the past week, against 370 last week, 185 in the like week a. year ago, and 242 in that week of 1892. A rise in bond prices is the real feature of' the New York securities’ market, indi- cating that the idle money represented by the bank surplus is finding an outlet in The demand and advance in the prices of all classes of railroad mortgages is marked, the only exception being bonds of companies liable to a reor- ganization process. The speculative share market is affected by this situation, as well as by the ease of money and the over- growth of short interest. General trade is 'quiet at Boston, but merchants are _mcre hopeful. Shoe fac- tories are more active and sales of leather are larger. At Philadelphia wool is dull; many textile plants are idle, but the out- look for the shoe and leather trade is bet- ter. At Baltimore there is only it. moder- ate trade in general merchandise, although. reports from the south point to improve- ment. The large tobacco crop has de- pressed. prices. Almost all markets at Pittsburgh are dull, except Bessemer iron and steel, for which the demand is better. South and “Test. At the south improvement is noted in collections as well as demand in various lines at Atlanta, Savannah, Chattanooga, and Birmingham. Fertilizer debts are being paid more promptly than in previous years, although easier money at those points affects only best name paper. There' is some improvement reported from Cin- cinnatti, where manufacturers are increas- ing outputs. Christmas trade at Chicago is smaller than expected, but seasouable staples are in better demand, particularly leather, and tanneries which have been long idle are starting up. St. Louis re- ports demand for shoes and hardware good, except in states where silver mining has been checked and that dry goods and hats are also movmg in larger Volume. Colder weather and good roads have stim- ulated the country trade throughout most of the western states. ‘ Fatally Scalded \V hile Scalding Hogs. KINGSTON, N.

I BIG BLAZE IN COLUDIBUS. Two Theatres and Two Hotels De- stroyed—One Life Lost. COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 25. —-Fire broke out in the new Henrietta. theatre, comer of _ Spring and Front st-eets last night and in less than an hour and a half this elegant play house, the Ch‘ttenden hotel and Au- ditorium and the Park theatre were in ruins. Felix Morris, in. ‘ ‘The Paper Chase.” was being played at the Henrietta and the , orchestra had just finished the overture when the manager, Albert Ovens, appeared on the stage and informed the audience that there was a small blaze in the rear of the theatre and suggested that they leave the house. As no flames were to be seen and the audience was small, they did so in order. The members of the company were dressed for their parts, and as they were assured that the theatre was fireproof, made no effort to remove their wardrobes. In a few moments, howaver, they had to has in their stage clothes. The fire spread rapidly and within two hours the houses mentioned above were in ' ruins. The guests at the hotels had ample time to escape, but lost most of their eflects. THE ITALIAN caisrs. Groups of Deputies Held Caucum to Map Out Plan of Action. ROME, Nov. 25.-—-The parliamentary groups held caucuses last night to deter- mine their lines of action in the chamber. Deputies of the extreme left discussed a proposal to appeal to the people in a man- ifesto exposing the corruptaess of‘thc chamber and the ministry. No decision was reached. Prof. Giovanni Bovio, extreme radical deputy, has sent Zanardclli a proposal for a parliamentary debate on a. motion to change existing laws so as to deprive the king of the right to declare war. There is no probability of Zanardelli’s consenting to such a discussion in the chamber. A resolution passed by 180 members of the left says that this party, in view of its harmony and size, ought to have the largest representation in the new cabinet. The resolution is criticised generally as an unworthy attempt to influence the de- olslon of the king.
