WOMAN ADVANCES.
SPEAKING of woman In the profes
sions, a writer in the Congrega
tionahst says: "The advance In
medicine may be gauged by a few
salient facts. When Harriet Hcw
mer, a sculptor of whom Massachusetts
is Justly proud, wished to stmlyianatomy
she knocked In vain at thcUoors of medi
cal colleges in New England and New
York. Crossing the Mississippi, she 'went
to Dr. McDowell, dean ot the medical
college in St. Louis, who said to her, with
true Southern chivalry: 'You shall study
anatomy in my college, and If anybody
Interferes with you ho tyIU Interfere with
me first.'
Yet in her own State notions after the
first medical school In the world for
women was opened. Tbls -was In Bos
ton, November 1, 1848. with twelve
students. In the same city today are
two hospitals the New England, Hospital
for Women and Children and the Vincent
Memorial Hospital which were started
and are managed by women."

WOMEN TOO PERSONAL.
r
T is so like women," said a clubman
ii
recently, to take a club re
jection of themselves or one ortheir
friends so much to heart. In a man's
club the matter Is viewed much
more philosophically.
"A man is put up at a club if he gets in
he is pleased, if tie doesn't hedocs not resent
it, except under unasual circumstances.
His rejection does not necessarily imply
anything derogatory to hU character sini
ply.as the editors say, thatfortbat partic
ular club he is not 'available.' But women
go all te pieces over such a happening.
"MySvife recently proposed a woman at
a club of which she is a member, and the
name was turned down by the board of ad
missions. 'Whereupon my wife bit her
fingernails off at what she considered 'an
awful thing, not only for her friend, but for
berselt.'
"The particular club referred to Is very
conservative; It has certain "jed rules gov
erning lis membership that 110 one has a
right to disregard; the applicant In ques
tion did not respond to the test established
and was therefore not eligible.
"That was all there was of It. It all
comes, I suppose, from tlie extremely per
sonal point from which women look at
everything."

Models Mr. Dunbur'ri Criticism.
A great fight Is being made to overturn
the decision ot the ccmmlsfcion which, sc
lected the model of Mr. Carl Rcbl-Smitit
for the Sherman statue, to be placed Just
south of the Treasury.
It Is usserted that tie selection was in
fluenced by favorlltsm and irorsc tilings
arc hinted at. An attempt will be made
to secure an investigation by Congress if
the racts connected with the award of
the commlssJon fcr executing the work.
The attack was begun by a protest from
the National Society or American Sculptor.
Tlilslias lieen sent to Secretary Uiiuontaiiil
Abased in part upon the fact that the com
mittee of artists. St., Gaudens, Warner,
Price and Post, placed Mr. Kohl-Smith's
design tenth In the list nt the original com
petition, ho that really in their Judgnicntit
ought never lo have lieen entered in that
which has just closed.
The executive committee of the society
say the choice of Mr. UoM-Siultb's work is
"nothing short of a crime aga Inst American
art."
Previous to this formal protest there had
been much criticism by the artslts here ot
the action of the commission. The artists
were represented by publie expression from
the president of iher(Wnhluglon society,
Mr. U. 8. Dunbar. '
APFEALED TO CONGRESS. .
The society met yesterday afternoon and
passed a resolution appealing to Congress
'to save the American public from this
unfair favoritism." Those present at the
meeting were, Presideaff Dunbar. Kobcrc

S. B. Nichols,, -W. U. tUiandlce, Edward
Sielx'rt. Amateis, G. F Gibbs. L. Bru-

M. B.Cldlton. ipi
Prof. Amateis safd'Ee understood that
Secretary L.imont aud Gen. Miles were
not satisfied with the selection made, and
would res willing to.vJJe it changed. After
considerable discussion, ;t committee, con
sisting ofPrcsldcnt Duidiar, I'rof Amnteis

west, at -1:30 p. m. today.
This commlUcc mot.foon after the so
ciety' adjourned, and made a rough draft
or resolutions to be presented. Mr. Dunbar
went over these this morning, and wilt
mceL the committee qbout 4 o'clock this
afternoon, to give them the finishing
touches before submitting them to the meet
lug half an hour later. They will jiroliably
include a request that Congress act at once
In providing for an Investigation, as delay
will Inith allow evidence now ut hand to
be last and Mr. Rohl-Sraith will be given
work upon his rontract.
It Is understood he already has bids for
the building of the i.-dcstaL
THE BARTLETT DESIGN.
Mr. Dunbar said this morning that the
Jlartlett design esiiecially deserved com
mendation, from an artist's standpoint.
He considered either of the others, how
ever, superior to that selected. He pointed
out that anyone can make such figures
and medallions as adorn the pedestal pre
sented by Mr. RohI-SmIth,and claimed that
tbey are Teallstic rather than artistic.
He arged that tlie true artist does not
strive to reach the public by mere realism,
but by allegorical designs. This was true
ofeverygrent work of artin Europe. Inthe
Bartlett design there were the allegorical
figures of Courage and Thought, represent
ing Gen. Bhernian'scblctqualitlcs ofgreat
nesa. Mr. Rnbl-Smitb had attempted to repre
sent these by what Mr. Dunbar considers
absurd figures or soldiers and sailors on
separate pedestals, and a trivial bronic
plate in relief let into tbeslde of the pedes
tal, representing the hero standing over
the camp fire thinking over the next day's
plans.
Again. Mr. Dunbar said it liad been
claimed thatthc portrait face of the statue
ought to be decisive. This was not true.
The face would be Tar above the
observer and its features could cot
be seen clearly. The likeness, of
' course, ought to be good, but was not so
important as the general apjicarance of
the work and its fitness to symbolize the
characterof the man honored.
Mr. Dunbar is heartily in favor of the
movement to establish an art commission
for the choice or such works for the gov
ernment, and said the people of European
countries never think, of deciding such
matters for themselves.

Chaotic Condition of Politics in
Little Delaware.
NEW IDEA'S QUICK GBOWTH
IntercKtlnc Account of tho Projiremj
ot tlio Campaign In tlie State -Ilutb
of the Old lartte Are Blddlce for
iTuvor Advocates) of tlie .Reform
Thrown Into Jnll.
"The little State of Delaware Is Just now
In the mldstot one cf the mostlntciesting
and unique political campaigns that the
commonwealth has expeitciiieu su.tc its
hUtory began," said an enthusiastic Wash
ington single tax advocate-
"Whlle in the other States throughout
the Union the various phases 1 1 pontics nnd
availability of candidates have Leen dis
cussed and absorbed the attention or the
politicians, Delaware lias waged its own
light materially different from all the rest.
"The contest there has been almost solely
one for supremacy or ructions between the
two parties, issues and principles being lost
sight of lu the struggle to gei..utop.
"In the Republican camp it has teen Ad
dicks or aoti-Auaicks. lLe luuer Leiug the
supporters and followers of ex-Senator
lligglns and the millionaire gas king, mo
nopolist and political boss bus triumphed
over h!s party opponents completely.
"Yet, however harshly Addlcks may
have lieen assailed. U Is ceverUieless the
opinion cf unbiased und shrewd political
observers that Addlcks Is really not so
bad as he has been painted.
"His one ambition is to represent the
State of Delaware in the United StatesSen
ate. To do this be would willingly sacri
fice anything. Yet. whatever may be his
motives or his political trickery, the fact
remains that his popularity, which cannot
be denied, is not entirety measured by tte
size or bis bank account. With blin are the
uiminou people the poorer classes In the
Republican party In the State. Htsoppo-nentsan-lhearistoeraticand
wealthy class
es as represented by lligglns. and themasses
of the party have rallied to the support nt
the gas king.
IIOTII HAVE KNIVES.
"Juit know Addlcksism predominates,
and cash faction has a targe knife up Its
sleeve for the other. Among the Democrat
the situation is litUc if any better. Wltb
them it is, Walcott versus Salisbury, Am
bassador llayard lending his support to the
former and Senator Gray endeavoring to
pour oil ou the troubled waters, but to no
avail
"And it is just here that a new factor
has been injected into Delaware politics,
which ts fnr-rcachltig In its effects, and
destined to work a complete change in the
affairs of the State, and will play a most
important part In the elections next fall.
"One year ago, acting uion the suggestion
of Jackson H Ralston of thiscity, the single
tax advocates throughout the country de
termined to make a winning fight to estab
lish their doctrine in the state.
"There were many reasons why the
followers of Henry George chose Delaware
as the State In which to give the object
lesson on the practical workings ot their
theory. In the first place tie State is
small and easily handled, the total voting
population not being in excess of 37,000.
"Again, no change la the constitution
ot the State would be, required to pass a
law embodjinga tax upon land values ex
clusive of all improvements for Slate,
county aud municipal purposes. This was
a most important point in their favor, a sin
most ot the States constitutional provisions
would prohibit the enactment of such legis
lation. "Further, such a measure as theyproio3e
could be passed by the legislature, a body
conipotcd of 9 senators and 21 represent
atives, and could uot be prevented from In
coming a law by the governor.as that offi
cer does not have the tight to exercise the
eto power Ttie State Is also easy ot uc
cvss to the large cities of the East, such as
New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Balti
more, Washington and Boston, In all ot
which there are strong Single Tax Clubs
to lend their support to the work.
TAVORABLE CONDITIONS.
"The conditions prevailing in the State,
the fighting factions and the almost equal
strength ot the old parties, were most
favorable for the opening of an aggressive
campaign there.
"The panles are so evenly divided that
200 or 300 voles control the balance of
power.
"The opening gun ot the campaign
was fired about the middle of June last
ear, when one Saturday nlj.ht a party of
single tnxers, principally from the rhila
dc'phla c'ub, spread out in towns and
ciUes throughout the State, and on street
corners and in public places began talking
to the people. At that time a canvass of
the entire State showed eleven active
known single tax adocates residing within
Its borders. Comparatively little atten
tion was paid to the campaigners, and it
was said that they would go away In
the fall with the other summer novelties.
But.assubsequentfactsliavcdemoustrated,
they had come to stay.
"Headquarters were established in Wil
mington, and every day In the year the
principles of the single tax have been
heard on every' hand. A dozen or more
men have been in the field at all times,
have lived there, worked and talked
among the people, and been supported by
free .contributions from sympathizers
throughout the country.
"The progress made in the campaign has
enlivened the Interest In other places, and

SUCCESS IN VIEW.
"They nave made speeches, aud large
mass meetings have been held throughout
the slates with unbounded success. In
Wilmington, especially, under tbe leader
ship of A'-H. Stevenson, George F. Stevens,
and Messrs. Tuttlc Hetzel and others, the
enthusiasm has been almost unparalleled.
As new converts have rapidly joined thelr
ranks, leaders of butb the old parties have
!ecame alarmed, and have sought with
every possible means to thwart their prog
ress. "Their speakers have been arrested and
imprloined, being even throWD into Jail
without the privilege of a Jury trial, and
freedom of speech has been denied them.
Just now Mr. George Stevens is lan
guishing in the Dover Jail for makingslnglc
tax speeches iu that city upon the public
highways. Mr. Stevens Is a wealthy Ffiil
ndefphlan, cultured and successful In busi
ness, but rather than surrender the princi
ple for which he contends. Is serving twenty
days iu Jail to appease tbe dignity of Dela
ware law.
"The singlc-taxers look upon this modi
of sguelchlng them as mere persecution,
and many even who are not advocates ot
the doctrine are openly denouncing the ac
tion ot the authoritiestn causing thearrests.
"The campaigners luwe made a house-to-house
canvassofevery township In the three
counties of the State, and the result has
lieen the enrollment of about 1.800 voters
upon the list of single tax clnbs. The ad
vocates claim th.it ililu dnt-s not in any
measure indicate the strength of their cause
by long odds.
"There are thousands who are sympa
thizers and wilt vote for the proposition
and arc anxious to sec tbe experiment
tried.
"Coming back to the old parties, thesltu.i
tion is a critical one fort hero. These 1,800
voters arc determined to cast their snf
frnges for no one notin sympathy with the

trolling element, and have madnthe ques
tion or taxation the paramount Issue Inthe
coming struggle.
THE FIGHT.
"The silver question Is not heard of, and
ts placed so far In tlie background that It Is
impossible to bring It to the front, and the
tariff tins seemingly been forgotten.
"Already both Democrats and Republic
ans have declared against the obnoxious
poll tax. and the slngtc-taxcrs contend that
all taxes shall be taken off improvements
and placed upon tig re land value. The right
they will make will be to secure favorable
legislative candidates, and each party is
now bidding for their strength, knowing
that without It, the, lines being so closeiy
drawn. tbey cannot win.
"Out of every ten sloglc-taxers seven are
said to be from the Democratic party and
three former Republicans. In thla contin
gency should the Democracy Ignore the re
formers it would be doomed to certain de
feat, and their-ablest leaders are already
aware of this fact. Again, iu view of the
factional fight among the Republicans ev
ery vote counts, and they ran 111 afford
to permit their opponents to Indorse the
principle- of the lax reformers.
"Tbe carrying of the legislature will net
only mean tbe election or a Senator to fill
the present vacancy, but as there will be
some holdovers It will aIs- have an In
fluence upon the return of S-'enator Gray.
In lew of this, and for the patronage to
be hestowedln event of success both parties
aiebldillng earnestly for the mipportof th
single-taxers. It would appear, then, that
la any event, whichever party wins, only
candidates will he elected to the legislature
who will vote for theslngle tax. which is all
that its advocates Peek to attain."
