' Jq"xir ' - - frl--' 111 I NO JANE AUSTEN ARISES Feminist Asked to Explain Dearth of Brilliant Women Writers. LONDON, Nov. 1. (Special.) om interesting statistics have Just been compiled by the well-known editor. Miss G. E. Mitton. as to the various rubjects upon which English women like to write. The publications of the past nine months have been taken as the basis of this novel calculation, and, of course, it has been found that fic tion was the first favorite but not in the overwhelming: proportion that some cynics might have anticipated. Thus, after novels. It was discovered that biography and travel formed the most numerous classes. Thirty-four books which come under the former heading-, and 33 under the latter, have been published during the period. Next come poetry and drama, to the num ber of 24. It is pointed out that the two first subjects are curiously diverse, for the one involves action of a. vigor ous physical kind, while the other Is a mere matter of study. The skeptic who does not believe in the capacity of women to do original work at all would point out that they are both alike in requiring the power of relat ing what has happened. He would, however, find his theory upset by the fact that poetry and dra ma, both of which require imagination and thought, form the next class on the list. On each of a whole group of subjects domestic science, natural his tory, history, religion there have been about a dozen books published in the nine months, but only four or five on education, politics, science or philosophy. It is easy to explain the paucity of works on the last topics, for most of them are not lightly to be written about by either sex. But this age of education and enlighten ment has produced no woman who can rank "with Jane Austen, the Brontes, or George Eliot. Perhaps some fem inist can explain the reasons for this deficiency in these stirring days of "Votes for Women." NEW YORK, Nov. 1 (Special.) Dr. Arthur Yager, President Fm- er'tus of Georgetown College, Georgetown, N. Y., has been appointed Governor of Porto Rico. Dr. Yager is 54 years old and has been connected with eGorgetown College almost since bis graduation in 1879. Another attempt is being made to defeat Thomas J. Lynch for re-election as president of the National League of Baseball Clubs by August Herrmann and other National League club own ers. Herrmann is backing Robert 'W. Brown, of Louisville, for the position. Brown has been a candidate before, but this year seems to have a better chance to win because of dissatisfac tion by league owners with Lynch's administration. - - This photograph of Andrew Carnegie was made on the arrival of the Maure tania on which he was a passenger. Mr. Carnegie was in good health and spirits. He .was enthusiastic over the victory of Young Ouimet and said it would be great if the young golfer would go over to Scotland and beat the canny Scots at their own game. - Third Officer Dusselman and Sec ond Officer Lloyd, of the ill-fated Vol turno, are two of the heroes of this disaster. It was Lloyd who, when the foremast was wabbling and the wire less antennae were out of commission, climbed the tottering beam and suc ceeded in establishing wireless com munication with - the ships speed ing to the rescue. Coming down, his hold was broken and he fell 20 feet to the deck, landing on a life- TEN-HOUR DAY FOR WOMEN International Labor Delegates Close Their Convention. BERNE, Nov. 1. (Special.) Dele gates to the International Labor Pro tective Conference signed the draft agreements and the conference for mally closed. One agreement concerns a 10 hours' working day for women and persons under 16, not 18 as orig inally proposed. The governments signing this agreement wil be author ized to have a 1014 hours' working day on conditton of having a half-holiday on Saturday, thus not exceeding 60 hours per week. The second agreement, embodying the prohibition of night work for women and persons under 16, cnused more difficulties. It was originally desire.-! that the age limit should be 18, but Germany, supported by Austria, Insisted that it must be 16. France, England and Switzerland were will ing to accept 18 years as the age limit. NIJINSKY MARRIES PUPIL Winsomeness of Bride Makes Dan clng Master Break Vow. PARIS, Nov. 1. (Special.)

(Special.) Miss Doris Stevens is a brilliant young suffrage speaker who has attracted more than usual attention. She Is doing tremendous work for the cause of suffrage in Ohio. She is a college graduate, an attorney and fully conversant with the questions of woman's right to vote and her ability to do so intelligently. A young New York society girl, whose wedding occurred this week, was Miss Eloise Talcott, daughter, by a former marriage, of Mrs. Edward Wyckoff Harris. She was married to Horace D. Newson on October 25. m Now that their eldest daughter, Olga, has been mated, the Czar and Czarina are looking for a fitting match for their second daughter, Tatiana. She is little more than 16 years old, so she probably will not marry for two years. When her husband is chosen it will be with a view to political advantage to tho Russian government. Princess Louise of Belgium Is again in the limelight, of which she seems rather fond. Her creditors, to whom she owes tho enormous sum of $3,400, 000, have applied to the court of Baden, where tho Princess is living, for an order to place her affairs under a legal "curator," in order to stop her fling ing right and left the money she in herited under the will of her father, the late King of the Belgians, until her debts have been paid. Princess Louise, of course, formerly was the wife of Prince Phillip of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, whom she married at 17, but the rigid etiquette of that court was too much for the lively girl, and some years after she eloped with Count Mattachich, an Hungarian nobleman. Mrs. Edgar Brassey is one of the most picturesque, as well as one of the handsomest of the younger leaders of London society at the moment. She is the wife of Captain Brassey, of the TTfrst- T i fa Dnnrila nn a nln.A r. U Duke of Buccleuch. Her sister is Vis countess Coke. Joyousness of Keunion. j (Washington Star.)
