COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
The new woman, who prates of the
glory of personal indepedence, has
never been ill, or else she is blessed
with some near and dear relative on
whom she can lean the while she chats
glibly of how very strong and self-re-
liant she is. '
She has never found herself stranded
on the shores of some severe illness,
where she is buffeted by winds and
waves of necessity for decision and
exertion, and not one person whom
she can rightfully call upon for help in
her perplexity. ~
If she had ever found herself in such
a plight, personal’independence would
not seem such a ho Nling joy, and a lit-
tle cuddling and petting would appear
a million times more desirable.
We may all prate of how self-reliant
we are. We may, in fact, believe it
ourselves, until sudden illness knocks
the props from beneath our faith and
we collapse into just little feminine
heaps that desire nothing so much as a
parent’s love, a husband’s care
or the calm physical and legal protec-
tion of a big brother.
In health we are very new women;
in illness very old ones, grown sudden-
_ 1y old and tired out with the struggle
and perfectly willing to let others do
the thinking and planning.
It may sound like rank heresy, but
the writer Of these lines knows that
there are thousands of women clamor-
ing for this wonderful independence
who would not know what to do with
it if they obtained it.
The first touCh of adversity and they
would discover that a good cry in some-
one’s enfolding arms would "mean in-
definitely more than all the assumption
of new womanhood that they could
muster.
I The genuine feminine nature is
' clinging and dependent, and all the
higher education in the world does not
alter it. Health and sunshine may fos-
ter contrary belief, but illness and the
clouds of life will very soon convince
anyone that the old- fashioned estimate
is after all the true one.

Feminine Chat.
A woman‘s hands are pretty certain
indications of her age. .
N O one’s work seems hard until some
one else attempts to do it.
The reason many a man don’t marry
is that he is to busily engaged.
The terror of a hospital has subsided
in minds attuned to fin-de siecle ideas.
It doesn’t matter if beauty is only
skin deep, provided the skin is worn
right side out.
Did you ever notice that country
towns never have theatreSP—they are
opera houses.
Make up your mimd to face a serious
proposition and its aspect at once grows
~ less forbidding. .
The newbaby or the new maid can
make the leaSt conversationally in-
clined women wax absolutely eloquent.
The most dependable servants will
get fractious when they discover that
the house is soon to be broken up.
If women bought as much as they
priced there would be more failures
laid at the door, of a wife’s extrava-
gance than there are now.
It is a much more comforting view
of autum to regard it as indicative of
coming sleep rather than suggestive of
approaching death.‘
The latest mode in furs hasn’t been
of such vital interest lately as the long-
est cool drink obtainable for five cents,
and yet this is October.

our coifure least becomingly arranged
is always the one that shows most
prominently in our photographs ‘3
With the Prince and Princess of
Wales both limping, it would seem as
though the steps to the throne of Eng-
land were decidedly shaky.
Is there anything more harrowing
than to drop into dinner with friends ‘

c0me at‘any time, and discover that
somehow or other yOu have struck the
wrong time.

GENERAL GREENE TESTIFIES.
Some Facts About the llIaila Expedition
and San FranélacoICamps.
Washington, Oct. '8.—Generai F. V.
Greene, who was in charge of one of
the divisions of United States troops
at the battle of Manila, Was before
the war investigation commission. at
its morning session yesterday. He sail-
ed from San Francisco to Manila on-
the steamer China, an excellent vessel,
he said, which was inspected by Ii
board of ofiicers before it was char-.
tered. He found the ship in good cOn-
dition, but the men necessarily were
crowded. Four months’ provisions and
a. large quantity of quartermaster’s
supplies and medical supplies were
carried. With a few exceptions the
loading was carefully 'done, though
the haste.
There was no complaint during .the
voyage of a scarcity Of supplies, but
during the first two days out, there
was some dissatisfaction with the cook-
ing. This was soon improved and no
criticism was heard afterwards.
The details of the ocean trip and
of the battle of Manila were related in
a manner calling for the closest at-
tention from the commissioners, but
covering the same ground as his re-
port to the war department, recently
made public.
He spoke of the insurgents, who la_y
between his forces and the Spanish
lines. He said it was impossible to give,
an estimate of their number, but he
thought it was about ten thousand.
They were well supplied with Mauser
and Remington rifles, many of which
they had captured from the Spaniards,
and others they had purchased abroad.
Colonel Denby asked what the insur-
gents were doing while the battle was
on.
“They were trying to get into Ma-
nila,” said General Greene, “and while
the leaders Were trying to preserve or-
der the rank and file were not so com-
pliant, and it was evident that they
wished to enter the town to secure
compensation for their services.”
Speaking of the camps at San Fran-
cisco. General Greene said that the site
of Camp Merritt was very poor, but
he did not know whether a better site
could have been“ selected.
General Greene stated that the most
flagrant evidence of neglect that he
had seen during the war was in the
case of the transports at New York.
Their condition was of a character that
should have been remedied. He had
also seen green coffee issued both in
Florida and Manila.
DUN’S WEEKLY REVIEW.
shows Better Condi-
tions.
New York, Oct. 8.—The final retut us
of failures for the third quarter of 1898
considerably exceed last week’s esti—
mate, numbering in all 2,556, With lia-
bilities of $32,603,214, and Of commercial
failures only 2,540, with liabilities of
$25,104,778. Comparisons given to-day‘
show that the failures have been smal-
ler than in any other quarter since
1892, both in amount, in average per
failure, and in defaults per firm in bus-
iness.
The last quarter of 1898 begins with
sensational troubles in wool. the
Tradesmen’s National Bank having
failed, with large reported loans to the
Wool Warehouse, while the Wool Ex-
change has stopped sales, and the Wool
Record has stopped publication, and
the same week witnessed the failure of
the Sawyer mills and the Plymouth
mills. ‘
The cotton industry Shows better con-
ditions in spite of the fall of cotton to
the lowest quotation ever known. and
there is larger demand for most staple
goods. The boot and shoe industry
moves on quite regardless of the high
quotatiotns for leather and hides.
The iron industry still gains so rapid-
ly that an unhealthy boom} would seem
to be in progress, but for the peculiar
conditions. The consuming demand is
remarkably heavy. and large contracts
this week cover 3,000 tons Of structural
Cottrn Industry
*' iron at Chicago, 8,000 tons for Boston,
2,000 tons of ship plates at Cleveland,
and a heavy demand for bars. _the
Pennsylvania Railroad requiring 2,500
cars and the Northwestern 2.000.
\Vheat has been declining a little
with foreign reports somewhat more
favorable as‘to European crops. and
yet the actual shipments have been 3.-
586.947 bushels, flour included. for the
week, against 4,463,954 bushels for the
corresponding week last year.
Failures for the week have been 169
in the United States against 212 last
year. and 23 in Canada against 29 last
year. »
GREAT STRIKE IN PARIS.
Penis That It Will Be Turned to an In-
cipient Revelation
Paris, Oct. 8.-The strike of the la-
borers has extended to nearly all the
building trades, and it is feared the
railroad men will join in the move-
ment. Work on the exhibition build-
ings and underground railroad has
completely ceased. About 60,000 men
have gone out on strike, and the situ-
ation is causing consternation.
The attitude of the strikers is in—
creasingly aggressive, and, fights be-
tween strikers and so-called "black-
legs" are incessant, involving the in-
tervention of the police, troops and the
mounted Republican guards, who have
been obliged to repeatedly charge the
strikers.
ing has taken place are patrolled by
strong detachments of police and the
trOops. '
There are great apprehensions lest
the agitators turn the strike movement
to political ends. The Temps declares
that the leaders are aiming at a gen-
eral strike, if not at a revolution, and
points out what a disastrous thing it
Lwould be if the exhibition of 1900 is
compromised.
