"All American Interests should be protected against those of other ctutitrles."

Tho famous KrlUh reformer, Mr Ormlstou Chant i trying to in hud Chlcnyo to a tiling scu.-u of it- In iquities. She think the e eat city on the lakohore is almost as had as Lou don In some ways, and nobody know la-tier titan air i nam, now ery tmd London Is; you see she has made ait exhaustive study of Its wickedness as exemplified lu its miisiu halls and oilier place of amusement that are not exactly what they should ho from a moral point of view, ltlseite of the privileges of the reformer (man or wo man) to visit and investigate these haunts of evil In the lutercxta of the movement. And I suppose we, who are not privileged ought to be very grateful to Mra Chant and others like her, who l ave courageously invaded the forbidden precinct, and ome back to till us all about It. Wo might never have known how dreadfully, horribly wicked and revolting our un fortunate brothels and sister in the music hulls are. And that would be such a pity in this ago of social an alysis. It is true that tome ef u are so old fashioned us to believe that a know ledge or evil does nut help us tn a clearer comprehension or good; but then we hapen to be to very far be hind the ago that wt cannot expect the great hurrying, broad-minded pro grensive army of reformert to mind anything we my. As ror Mrt Ormlstou Chant, she has been In Chicago such a short time that one I tempted Io surmise that she must have drawn her conclusions concerning Its moral sickness from that other famous English reformer and student of sociology, Mr Stead. Be this as it may, Mra Chant "hoa-s" to start a reform wave which shall cleanse this city of its worst evil. People who know Chicago Im mediately think she has undertaken a task about the size of the one given a certain hern of antiquity, and are waiting io see ir the woman rrom over the sea will prove a modern Her cules In skirts. However much oue may question Hit taste ol her methods, no one who bus heard Mra Chant speak, or ob served her wonderful energy and In dustry can doubt the sincerely of her iurM)-e. She is a tireless ami uuceaa ng worker. There Is nothing that even remotely savors of the sensational or dramatic in anything she says, or dia-s. sue Is too much lu earnest, too thoroughly won with thecauso she ad vocates to lavish time or thought ou anything else. Still she Is not with out eloquence, without beauty or stylo: hut Is tho eloquence hum or stri'ttght, of purpose, of nobility, of thought and reeling, mio believe in the reformation of social conditions and her utterances are dlgnilled by rami. "What the world needs now," slit said In her morning address at the Centenary Methodist church, Isst Sunday, "Is lives that have lived- ideals may lie hidden; but dreams ore a far off echo of a far off fact." Mon day noon slit spoke at Willard Hall, In (lie Temple, and in the evening de livered a lecture at Steinwny Hall where she was introduced to her audience as "a woman who could write a poem and set It to music, trim a hat, cook a dinner, or sing a song and nlav her own accoiiinAiilinent." Then as if to prove her claim to so much versatility, this remarkable woman rendered Shel ley's "Ode to the Sky lark," the mmio of which waa her own. v nether she sang as wen as she talks I cannot say for I did not hear her, but It was a rather Interest ing prelude to a very strong address. Another noted woman who is visa ing Chicago in the character or a lec turer this week is MUs Amnrctte M Beerher. a cousin of Henry Ward Bcecher. Miss Beecher is 74 years of age aud well fitted to tell fashionable society people "What Women are Thinking." In spite of her years, MIsm Deeeher is still vounir in annear- ance. Her hair is Just silvered lightly, and as for wrinkles, time seems to have overlooked Iter pleasant face al together. She Is one or the few wo men whe lecture to women upon the responsibilities of the home and wife and motherhood. And it is truly in spiring to hear her. She speaks not In leoture halls but iu the homes of the, leading society people of the city and to women. I wonder If tier listeners do not efton compare her with those lecturers who are so plentiful an over the land and who tell you incessantly that in order to accomplish any great work woman must have the ballot; and thank heaven for a chango. It is Incomprehensible to me why any woman should wish to multiply and complicate her already heavy respon sibilities; and the mother Who cannot bring no her sons to a right conception or political duty would not find her self purifying politics to any notice able degree by her right to vote. Wal ter llesatit Is very near (ho iruin when he say: "Mature, whenever alio turns out a now baby of the feminine sex, says to her ps a last admonition, And, my dear, when you grow up re member Hint you will hate, loathe and detest any kind of work except one. 1 design you to be a wile and a mother and a helpmeet for one man.
