Austria , and Is sending a gift to Loimles
to secure the protection of the virgin of
that shrine for Ferdinand. She has great
confidence in Marion /ell , a holy place

from Vienna to Trieste. Pilgrimages
were mma to it by her mother , Queen
Caroline of Naples , who was at once the
most debauched nnd most superstitious
woman of her time , and by her great-
grandmother , the Emnrcss Maria The

manner beseeming Ins rank.
Women In Kdltorlnl Chnlrs.
Indianapolis Journal : It would make a
long Hat simply to enumerate tho.names
of women who sit In the editorial chairs
of maga/.ines. Mrs. Mary Mapos Dodge
went from a successful literary career to
the olllce of St. Nicholas. Ella Far man
Pratt takes an occasional uart in making
up Wide Awake. Of the fashion periodi
cals there is no better edited publication
of any kind in the country than Harper's
Ba/.ar , of which Airs. Mary L. Booth.und .
in her nbsoncc MM. S. S. Conant , has full
control. Jennie June has n half owner
ship in Godoy's Lady Book and is su
preme in the editorial room. Mme.
Demorcst has but just retired from tlio
business control of tlio magazine bearing
her name. The widow of Peterson , the
Philadelphia publisher , has taken Peter
son'.s Magazine into iior own hands , both
editorially nnd financially. The Ladies1
World pays the woman at its head $5,000
a year , and tlio now dress reform maga
zine , Dress , if airs. Jennie Miller will al
low it to be classed with fashion publica
tions , is in part owned and
wholly managed by Its editor ,
who if putting a good deal
of fresh talent into its early
issues. Mrs. Lanrn Hoiloway edits the
Homo Library Magazine and tim
Woman's Argosy , now Chicago ventures ,
which promise ia'rgo success. Mrs. Jose
phine Hedding edits two decorative art
magazines very ably , and the housekeep
ing magazines arc in swarms. Of a more
serious class of pnblications.Mrs. Martha
J. Lamb has increased the circulation
and made the reputation of the Magazine
of American History , and Miss Jeannette
Gilder commands unlimited respect for
her work on the Critic. Philanthropic
publications of nil sorts are in feminine
hands. Edward Everett Halo's Lend n
Hand is largely directed by a woinan.antl
the list , not of women who supply mat
ter for departments , but who are In cdi
torial or business control , or both ol
periodicals of some size and standing
could bo prolonged at some length ,
Many of the largo publishing houses saj
that women make the best readers o
manuscript , and the same miailtics thai
make feminine talent available there to
getlicr with some tact nnd business judgment
mont , make good editors of them also
.Their periodicals almost invariably an
good business properties , and are nicel ]
adjusted to the exact clientage they ar <
meant to reilcli. Jennie Juno say :
women like editorial work , and cditoria
work thus far seems to like them also.
Xho nichcat Woman In the World
Washington Past : It is sottied , 1 sup
pose , that the Dona Isadora Cousino 1
coming to Now York as soon as tlio sea
son is fairly opened this winter. If sin
docs the city will have a sensation urn
ono of a sort that it appreciates. Tin
Chilian moueyquecn never does an.ythin ;
by halves. She proposes to take a house
furnish it as few houses in Now Yorl
have ever boon furnished , and it is ii
the air that she moans to show Now Yorl
how unlimited cash can entertain. Sin
can teach a lesson or two in that art i
she tries. She is a learned professor am
money fetches New York every timo.
Thu Senora Cou ino is something mor
than the richest woman in the world
She has ono of the biggest fortunes licli
by cither sox possibly the largest one'oi
'
the western continent. She is' , unless th
last season or two has faeled her groatlj
something of a beauty. She has a grou
deal of an eccentric and not a little o
genius. She has astonished pretty ncarl
nil the capitals of Europe in their turn
and she cannot rest on her laurels with
out astonishing New York , too.
The Dona Isador is not much short o
forty , but she looks younger. She I
rather above medium height and dressc
to look tall. Her figure is graceful , bi
her big dark eyes are her taking fcatnri
Her skin Is a Spanish brown witli a das
of red under it , and she has quantities t
dark hair. She is ons of tlio bost-drosso
women in the world in an imperial soi
of way , and with a daring use of cole
1 doubt if tliero is a private jewel collce
tion to equal hers. She wears mot
.stones at n time than is usual with pei
plo who haven't so many nnd who I'M
in North American latitudes.
No moro business woman exists. Sli
inherited cattle , married mines , and no
a widow , has gone into about cvoi
money making enterprise in which Chil
the most progressive of the southern n
publics , has engaged. She Is the higcc
real estate owner in Santiago and Vn
unraiso. She has furnished tlio capiti
for manufacturing enterprises. She hi
started art potteries. She has built
railroad and runs two lines of ire
steamships. Sout American fortunes n
hard to estimate , but many people ha'
put hers above $ 400,000,000. Money mi
tiplies fast in her hands , for her eye
everywhere.
Thcro was a young man , a son of 01
of tier cousins , I believe , whom she soi
to a New England college some yea

iVO Mrs. Clovolanil'rt Popularity.
rs. Philadelphia News : The most sou
ias after person in this city this week will
ar- Mrs. urovor Cleveland. There would
arho no swerving of any line from under
iiy portrait If it hung across the stn
or There would bo no "offensive partis
nt. ship" displayed to her by anyone of :
id. party. Her wholesome , sound and.6
id.do ccro disposition , her acute intulliger
aa her charming face , added to her posit
as the president's wife , mnkd her a per *
sonngo whom orcryona can admire.
Not since Dolly Madison charmed people
ple by her cute ways has there boon rt
' 'Lady of the Whlto House , " who has so
generally boon popular as Mrs. Cleveland -
land is. There have been others who
have shown more interest in politics ,
tliero httvo been others who have played
moro of a "stago quocn" character , but
hers is the most American personality
that has appeared before the public in
the same position.
She deserves all the admiration she
has received , for she lias been uniformly
courteous , agreeable and attractive to all
classes without distinction. Mr. Clove-
hind will be welcome this week in this
most republican of American cities on
account of his olllcc ; but Mrs. Cleveland
will bo welcome for her own sake , for
tmc is a typical American girl of the best
kind.
Itolva TiockwouoVM Candidate.
Bclva Lock wood , tlio late presidential
candidate of the woman suffrage party ,
was up to the whlto house the other day.
Uclva is what you would c ll a line look
ing woman , nnd , it is said , makes n great
deal of money out of her law practice
here. When asked whether situ would
run against Cleveland again , she replied
with n laugh : "To quote several illus
trious examples , 'I am out of polities'
just now. The woman suffrage party will
bo m tlio field , however , you can depend
noon that , for wo will never glvo up tlio
light until tlio victory Is won. Now I
think that wo ought to nominate the
most popular woman in the country In
18S3 for president. I have been looking
over the list of candidates , and I have
come to the conclusion that Mrs. Cleve
land is that woman. Nominate Mrs.
Cleveland for president and we will
sweet ) tlio country. She is my candidate ,
unii I shall not run against'her for thu
nomination. "
A Female Rani l < < < nato Agent.
Chicago Herald : There is a very clover
real estate agent in tills eity. She is dis
turbing her male competitors almost as
much as that otbor bright lady , the insurance -
suranco agent , who , when attacked for
doing business for an unlisted company ,
turned savagely upon her ungallant as
sailants nnd quieted them by threatening
to hoist them with their own petard. This
lady real o = tate agent. Mrs. Case , make ?
n special ! y of furnished houses and ,
sotnowhat after thu fashion of that clev
erest of all Chicago business womon.Mrs.
Harriet Hubbard Ayer , turns her largo
society acquaintance to a very prollt-
able uso. To find a good tenant for
ti handsome homo all furislfed is
n diflicult ami dclicnto duty. The ma/e /
agent in his office is little fitted to pnr-
form it satisfactorily. Tlio lady real cy-
tate agent does her business in the par
lors of her patronslinds ; , from the gossiu
among the fashionable ladies of her ac
quaintance the plans ot pretty 'nearly
nil the desirable people in town.and not
only picks up business' dm ing this bou
doir gossip , but often actually closes it ,
Mrs. Cases idea is not only a novel one
but looks sensible and practicable
Women really runt the homos , cspeciallj
the furnished homos. The very best per
son to solicit the business ought to be f
woman with a fashionable acquaintance
and the very bfist place the parlors of the
dames who will preside ever the home
when it is accepted. At any rato. the
lady real estate agent i.s : i success , as bit
n success almost as the lady insuranct
agent , and the latter is the best knowi :
woman underwriter in the country.

The following from the London Times of

her style : "An hostler's wife In tlio country
lately fetched 85 guineas. Wo hoar there Is
to bo a sale of wives soon at Christie's. We
have no doubt they soon will go off well. "
In ttia fume journal for December 3,17V7.lt Is
recorded that "at ttio last sale of wives there
wns but a poor show , though tliero wcro
plenty of bidders. Ono alone went elf well ,
being bousht by aTaylorwho outbid eight ot

PICKERING MEMORIAL CHURCH
WLy the Name Was Substituted for the
First Methodist.
A QUAINT AND ABLE PREACHER.
Xlto Mfb and Labors of Ror. Georjjo
I'lckerlngt n Noted Giant of
tlio tinrly Dnys of Method-
Ism.
At the Inst session of the quarterly con"
fercnco of the First Methodist church
the name of the church was changed to
that of Pickering Memorial church. A
general inquiry has been made by the
friends of the church as to the reason for
the change.
Uov. George Pickering was ono of the
early and most noted Mctoodist preach
ers among those giants of the early days
of Methodism , llo was born in Alary-
land in 1709 , converted at eighteen years
of age in St. Gnorgo's church hi Phila
delphia , commenced preaching inuudi-
atoly , but joined tlio conference one year
later , and continued his work for fifty-
seven years , preaching until a few weeks
before his death. From 1700 until 1&10.
the time of his death , a period of fifty
years , his \york was principally ttono in
Now Kngland. Ho was ono of the load
ers of the church , nnd fully identified
with all the interests cf thu church , both
temporal and spiritual. For sixteen years
ho was presiding older , for nmo years a
missionary and much of the time ever a
n district including all of Rhode Island ,
Massachusetts , New Hampshire and Ver
mont , except the district west of the
mountains. It was immense work to
travel in thosu days ever such a stnitch
of country , four times annually , witli no
better means of transportation than pri
vate conveyance. Those long journeys
wcro made in the early days on horse
back , fording rivers often swollen by
freshets , climbing mountain passes in
mid-winter and fruquontly sleep
ing alonei in ' .ho dense forests.
The log cabin was then ' the _ homo of man.v
settlers and religious 'services wore hold
in those , and often in pleasant weather
under the spreading trees. Hut the work
was undertaken cheerfully and pros'
edited enthusiastically. U ho mem had a
message for their fellow men , ami it
must be * carried to them at all hazards.
The compensation of a preacher was sc
small that it socms almost ridiculous in
this day of largo salaties. Mr. Pickering's
way of giving the amount of his sabiry
wns characteristic anil shows the .sacrifice
submitted to in their calling. Ho sale !
their salaries "wore1 $01 per annum , il
you could gut it , " : vs this small nninunl
was often only partly paid. Mr. Pickering -
ing in his lifty years of service after liii
marriage , was absent from home
n prosecuting his lifo work
t least forty years. He
only gave ton years of half a century te
his family and his own rest and enjoy
munt of the family circle. Ho was one
of the few men who have etoclined the
office of bishop , none other , wo believe
except Wilbur Fisk , the founder and firs
president \Vesloyan university at Mid
dlotown , Connecticut ,
As a preacher ho Was perhaps bes
known , though ho spoke on all subject !
and was ono of the most active in al
educational matters , often raising largi
sums of mone\yfor those days , to build u ]
the struggling'institutions of mcthodism
Wherever ho preacheduntil his work wa
dono.largo crowds followed him , and tin
simple announcement of his narao woulel
crowd any house of worship. His intensi
earnestness and gentlemanly buarinj
won alj hearts , not only those of his owi
denomination , but his popularity extended
tended to all Christians of all denomina
tions. His style was quaint and j
"sanctified humor" awakened at onci
the attention of his anilionco , and hi
brevity insured the close-st interest to tin
end of his discourse. His fortune ) lof
him by his father consisted prlncipall ;
of slaves , but ho rcnised to receive then
or any profit from tholr sale or labor
and they we're freed. This was long be
fore iho anti-slavery excitement , but h
learned for himself that man had in
proprietary rights in his fcllowman.
Dr. Abel Slovens , the historian of th
church , says of him : "George Pickorinj
was a rare man in all respects. Any jus
delincutiovof him must comprehend th
whole man , for it was not his elistinctio :
to bo marked by u few oxtraordinar ;
traits , but by general excellence. " H
says again : "His character was full o
energy novcr wavering , never imptils
ivo. As a btatcsmnn ho would have ) boo
secure if not successful ; as a railitar
commander , his whole character woul
have guaranteed that confidence , energi
discipline and sagacity which win \ictor
more effectually than hosts. Had h
lived in the davs of the Uoiniin commor
wealth , ho might have competed wit
Cttto for the censorship ; not so mitcl
however , from his rigorous constructio
of the morals of others , as by the rigoi
ou.s perfection of his own. " His. horn
was the scat of the most unbounded ho
pitality. Jt was for years the church ft
all the surrounding country , and tl :
Mcooa of tlio Methodist itinerant afte
long nnd toilsome journeys. The write
counted at ono limo over four hundrc
preachers who had made his house the
homo or rcstlng-placo. Congregate
there , at first because it was a homo n
deed for the weary and worn toilers , an
subsequently because they wished to pti
their respects and enjoy tlio society of i
remarkable and venerable a man.
Mr. Pickering enjoyed ut ins elcath tl
distinction of being the oldest ollcotn
Methodist preacher in the world.
Dr. Slovens closes his biography t
Faying that lie was a "perfect gontlomr
in manners and appearance and liber
to all uhristians. Such was Georf
Pickering pure in character , laborloi
in life , triumphant in death. "
Mr. Pickering was the father of Mr
George W. Frost of this city and tl
grandfather of Mr. George P. Hemis , al :
well known here.
A short time since Mr. Mentis erected
ve.ry costly and beautiful monument
the memory of Mr. Pickering nnel 1
wife ami family in the cemetery in Wa
tliam , Mass. , and ho has donated $5,0
to the now church on condition th
tlio church is nutne.it after I
grandfather , Gcorgo Pickering Ucm
whoso numn ho bears , and ho will dtvuti
his subscription conditionally , if otli
amounts are raised to complete a su
stantial cdllico that will bo an honor
the church and an ornament to ttio cit
Mr. Ucmls has also given a momorl
window to tlio Sewartl street churc
( Rev. Mr. Savidgc ) , besides other ben
factions to other struggling 'churches ai
societies in the city. It is thought th
this will socnro the construction ol
church costing at least $75,000 ami pt
sibly $100,000. There are few really lii
churches in the city and every addition
ono is a source of pride and gratilicatitj
3 not only to the church most inturostc
j but to all oilier denominations.
