SHORT SKETCHES OF THEIR LIVES IV HiUlliuit Gulnxy of Workers in the liltornry FJulil The Htnr of llio South ami Her AVork. 1'cn in Potticonts. St. Louis Republic : Many women Ire born to greatness ; some achieve preatno.ss and others have greatness ihrust upon them. Of the women who have achieved greatness by far the greater number have won fame and for tune as writers in ono Hold or another. Naturally , tn a young country like ours Iho active participation of woman in literature docs not date back u great many years. But in almost every de- P'lrtmbnt of literature wo have women whoso names are household words the world ever and deservedly so. Our male authors and editors and philoso phers have been properly glorified in histories and biographies and cyclo- jKudias innumerable. Somehow or other no ono has thought to render a like service to the female wrilors of Iho country , and as a result the information mation obtainable regarding them is bcatturod , uncertain and conspicuous by its scarcity. Thousands who have whiled tuvay many an idle hour with the charming novels of Mra. South- worth , for instance , have never soon more than the briefest mention of her life nnd work. With almost all her fonmlo rontomporios the case is the bumo. In attempting to compile oven the most hurried sketch of famous American authoresses ono is mot at the outset by the greatest dllllculty in so looting the names ot those to bo placed on the honor roll. Some writers whoso works are in exceeding demand in some Hoctions of the country are almost un known in other sections. Again no twc cities agree in deciding the question o ! relative merit. And the judgment o ! uny ono will always bo ridiculed and de nounced by the others. However all this may bo , there will probably bo no question but what the name of Harriet Ucochcr Stowo is moro widely known throughout the United States and the world at largo than that of any othoi American authoress. Her "Undo Tom's Cabin" appearing at the oppor tune moment which it did , almost in- . dlanily raided her to fame and is to-day road by and familiar to millions ii uvory quarter of the globe. It has lxou translated into moro thai u score ot languages , am Booms destined to poronnia popularity. Owing to the succobs o nor maiden olTort , as It were , nnd bur famous family connections , Mrs. Stowo's history is almost too well known to war rant anything but a passing glance Born nt Litohtlold , Conn ? , Junu 14,1812 hho was of the purest and most vigoroui Puritan stock. Her father was tha uccsntrlo , rugged and withal forcefu itlvioo , Rev. Dr. Lynmn Beochor , whoso son , the late Henry Ward Bc her , was pre-eminently the dlvilie of his ago In girlhood. Mrs. Stowo , as she is bos Icnowti , taught school nt Hartford Conn. , for bovoral years. At the ago o twenty Ehe married Prof. Calvin lilli Know , thun of Lane seminary , Clncin null. When In the prime of wonmn hood bho essayed herfirbt known lit erury venture in "Tho Maw r , o Has obtained a reputation wherever in troduced for "CoiiiiKCi LK"Piu- : - rucr FIT , " "CojiroiiT AND DUUAUIL- 1TV.

Sketches of the Descendants of the Jurit-xn9. " Tnis was not particularly uccessful. Two years later in 1851 ho llrst number of her serial entitled Undo Tom's Cabin" was published in , ho National Kra of Washington. While writing it Mrs. Stowo is said to lave made the remark to a friend that f the prollts of the story should bo sulllciont to buy her a now silK dress she would bo satisfied. The book made in instantaneous hit , and the proceeds since then have boon something enor- nous. The authoress' desire for a now eilk dross hasi been gratified , and with -ho gratification of the simple desire iuis como almost unlimited fame and for- Luno. Airs. Stowo's later works have ill boon kindly received by the public , but her early venture was her jhof d'oouvro , and subsequent books liavo added nothing to her reputation. In later hfo she was for a time editress oi Health and Homo. Almost all her stories have ilr.it been published in serial form in some ono or other of the magazines , and later in book form. At iirortont Mrs. Stowo is quietly residing in Brooklyn. She bears her advanced ago well. Among the female novelists in Amer ica Mrs. Bmimx Southworth , as she is generally known , or Mrs. Emma D. E. Novittas she should properly bo called , is perhaps the most conspicuous llguro. She was born \VashiiigtonDecember 2G , 1818 , and was married to Mr. Novitt in 1841. Unforsoeii circumstances boon throw her upon her own resources a few yours later , and bho turned her attention to magazine and newspaper writing. Like Mrs. Stowo , she &ont her llrst manuscript to the National Era , and in 1749 that journal began the publication of a sorlul from her pen entitled - titled "Retribution. " The publication of this novellotto was scarcely finished when she began work on a story of a similar nature , and for many years thereafter she wielded a most prolific pon. Her works gradually attained popularity , and in later years have boon widely read in every section of the country. All , or nearly all , are of the society order , and as Is generally the case with novels of this character , are especially bought after by women. Mrs. Southworth's plots all depend upon the more or loss thrilling ndvonturob of the inevitable lovers or married couple , but her clour , smooth-llowlng slylo of narrative and intimuto acquaintance wilh human nature , save her stories from monotony. For many years her name has been a familiar ono to Amer ican and English novel readers , and the demand for her works continues steady. Her books have such titles as "Tho Fatal " " Wife's " Marriago"The Victory , "Tho Lady of the Islo. " etc. , and a glance at a Itst of her writings gives an excellent Idea of her constant theme. Of lute years she has written but little , and piissos most of her time in the se clusion of her homo in the o utskirts of Now York city. Of equal repute In her own field was that charming writer , Louise May Alcott , whoso death a few months ngo brought sadness to the hearts of thou sands who had passoa miuiy o. pleasant and prolltublo hour in rending her Blades. Her father , Amos B. Alcott , who was a writer and philosopher of no mean reivato , resided utConcord.Mass. , tit the time of her birth , in 1833 , and there Misa Alcott passed the greater part of her busy life. When but 10 years old , she began to write for the newspapers , but her work then attracted no special attention. At the breaking oul of the war she wont to the front as a nurdo in th. union hospitals , and sent home letters describing the sorrowful sights and scones which she there wlt- nuxsad. These letters were afterward * published and attracted some attention. mi 1 a . . k.f. Corner Dearborn and Lake Streets , CHICAGO.

The sale of the book during the three years following its publication , was unprcccdontly largo , reaching the enormous llguro of 87,000. Miss Alcott's reputation thus established , her subsequent stories wcro in great demand and the authoress reaped a rich financial harvest. "An Old-Fnshioned Girl" and "Aunt Joe's Scrap Bag" are perhaps as well known as any of these later publications , and are fair typos of her work. All her writings breathed a clean , honestwhole- souled n > inosilioro , and honestly and accurately depicted the simple life with which hho was most familiar and of which she was most fond. She wrote nrincipally of girls or for girls and as such was a much sought-after contri butor to magazines for the young. Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney devoted her self to much the same Hold as did Miss Alcott and has made an almost equal reputation. She was born at Boston in ISUl , and prior to her marriage to Seth D. Whitney was a Miss Train. Like Miss Alcott , she gave some attention to newspaper writing during her early womanhood , but did not take rank as a loading authoress until some yoarslator. Her "Mother Geese for Young Folks , " proved an exceeding profitable venture , and many similar children's stories from the same pen wore soon published. As a cheerful and graceful writer for the little folks Mrs. Whitney has few equals. She thoroughly outers into the spirit of her work , and her stories have frequently brightened the pages of children's magazines. Some of Iftir best known productions are : "Wo Girls , " "Tho Other Girl , " "Real Polks , " "Pa- ' " and "A'Sum tionco Strong's Outings , mer in Leslie Goldwaith's life. " Mrs. L. M. Wilson , or Mrs. Augusta .1. Evans , as her many readers best know her , was born near Columbu3Gn. , in 1830. During her childhood her parents removed to Texas and then set tled near Mobile , whore Mibs JSvans was married to L. M. Wilson in 1803. Her field is novel writing , nnd such stories as "Inez ; a Tale of the Alamo , " "Beu- " "St. Elmo " "Vashtl " . lah. , , etc..clearly provo her an authoress of exceptional ability. She has written a great va riety and number of novels , but the ma jority are upon the thoino so dour to the novel writer the old , old story of love and Us resultant complications. Elizabeth Stuart Pholps'namo will al ways bo associated with the work which made her famous. "Tho Gates Ajar. " Miss Phelps has since written many stories and published various collections of verso , all of decided literary ability ; but "Tho Gates Ajar" will remain hoi- most lasting work. She was born nt Andover , Mass , August 81 , 1811. nnd was the daughter of Prof. Austin Phelps and Elizabeth Stuart Pholps. Her mother was a talented and popular nu- thorcbs.and at an early ago Miss Fhs'ps followed In her footstejfa. ' 'Tho Gates Ajar , " published in IStiS , was followed by "Beyon'l tile Gates. " Then came "Mon , Women and Ghosts , " and in suc ceeding years a great variety of subjects have been touched upon by Miss Pholps' charming pen. "An Old Maid's Para- diso" and"nurglnrs in Paradi&o"roved | interesting companion books , and "Doc tor Xay"Tho Silent Partner" and "Hedged In" established the Puritan authoress' right to the title of novelist. Among her stories dedicated to the lit tle folks , "Tho Trotty Book" and "Trolly's Wedding Tour nnd Slory Book" are widely known. The versatile authoress has also frequently contrib uted to loading magazines and weeklies , and In this line of work has covered ul- raost as. wide a ran go of subjects as in her general writing.

In 180-3 her parents removed to ihis coun try and settled at Knoxvlllo , Tonn. , af terwards removing to Newmarket. They had boon in the United States but two years when the talented daughter published her llrst article in a southern magazine. Five years later a dialect story entitled "Surly Tint's Trouble" appeared in Scribnor's Magazine ever her signature and was very well re ceived. Before her next pen sketch appeared the now nopular writer hau married Dr. Limn M. Burnett , of Knoxville - villo , and had removed to Washington. After her removal to the capital city Scribner's Magazine pub- libhed her crowning success , "That Lass o' Lowrio's. " In the days of her girl hood Mrs. Burnett had lived in Man chester , England , which is so largely populated by the mill hands in the cot ton factories. She was a careful ob server of the peculiar customs , man ners and talk of the operatives , and from sights and faccnos in their life which she witnessed drew the jilots of many of the btorio.s which she has since written. Thus , in "That Lass o' Low rio's" the character of Joan is drawn from a most beautiful factory girl whom Mrs. Burnett , as a child , had watched , as in company with her playmates the girl had loitered about the house whom her future biographer then resided. The heroine of "Tho Fair Barbarian"is likewise a creature of real life , and not of the imagination. The original of the character was an American girl , who , while visiting her English rela tives , completely dumbfounded them by her unconventional behavior. "Little Lord Fauntloroy" is , in its way , fully as powerful as Its moro borious prede cessors and speedily obtained wide pop ularity. Mrs. Burnett has had consid erable trouble in reaping the honolit of her work , as her stories have usually boon published in serial form and have been piraticnlly published in book form bv .

But Miss Filler and "Christian Koid" are ono and , tlio faumo potion , the latter being Mibs Fisher's nom do plumo. The authoress wixa the daughter of Colonel Charles T. , ' Fisher , of North Carolina , who was lulled nt the battle of Bull Hun , and wiWhorn at Salisbury , N. C. Her first novel , "Valeria Ayl- inor , " was published In 1870 under the nom do plume of "Christian Usid. " U was thoroughly successful in gii'.ning public favor nnd ttyfiro wtn > much specu lation as to the iilo-iilty of the author or autUor-33. Since its publication M'.33 ' Fisher has contributed a number of novels to the literature of the day and has made an enviable reputation for horbolf. Some of her best known books are "Bonnio Kate , " "Hearts of Steel , " a'Mabol Leo , " and "Ebb Tide. " Mary Noailless Murfroo , or "Charles Egbert Craddook , " as she is known In literature , was the host know authoress in the south prior to the advent in the literary world of MUs Ainollo Rives. Her grandfather was an old revolution ary eoldior nnd was ono of the framers of the constitution of North Carolina. Murfrocsboro , N. C. , wus named after the old boldior and patriot , and it was near the ancestral village that the au thoress was born in I860. The civil war seriously affected the family's re sources , and a paralytic btroko made Mibs Murfree a cripple for life , but she bravely pot to work to' redeem the finances of the family and console herself - self for her aflitction by writing. Most of her girlhood had boon spent in the mountains of Tonnobbco , and hence , though the family moved to St. Louis , it was but natural that Miss Murfreo should write of scenes amid which her girlhood had been passed. A sketch of life in the Tennessee mountains was one of her earliest productions and ap peared in the Atlantic Monthly when she was little moro than a girl. It found favor and was succeeded by "In the Tennessee Mountains , " which was published in book form. Miss Mur- frce's later stories have generally been of fcomowhat similar character , and have boon most pleasantly received by public and critics alike. Among them might be mentioned "Down the Uavino" it-id "Tho Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains. " Amelia Rives , or Mrs. John Arm strong Chanler , as her name now is , is pre-eminently the American authoress of the present. A year ago who was comparatively unknown. To-dnv the ntiino of "The Star of the South" is on everyone's lips. The dollcato lines of patrician beauty , the sensitive mouth and no o , the deep , largo eyes and the high , thoughtful forehead till speak louder and in moro genuine tones of the composition of the author of "Tl'o Quick or the Dead" than can any mere word painting. By birth Miss Rives is ono of the mosl patrician families of the botith. Ilor grandfather , William Caboll Rives , was congressman , senator and minister plenipotentiary to Franco in the earlier half of the present cen tury. His daughter , Amelia , after whom Miss Rives is named , was her self named after the French queen , the conbort of Louis Philippe. Colonel Alfred L. Rives , the lather of the authoress , was born in Paris and had Lafa.vetto as a god father. In 18(11 ( ho miu'ricd Miss Macmurdo , a grand daughter of Bishop Moore of Virginia , famous for her beauty. Of those par ents the novelist was born at Richmond in ISO' ! . Owing to her father's frequent absences from home the child pnsiod most of her time at the homo of her grandfather , in Albormarlo county , Virginia. Even in childhood she was of a singular soiibl- tivo toinponimonl and widely different from her playmates. She was fond of holitudo , nnd spent much of her time in wandering about the deserted woods. In early childhood she accompanied her parents to Paris , whore she remained for several years. Since her return from this maiclon trip she has divided her time between her Southern homo , Now York City and Paris. Her first Chsay in llter-ituro was "A Brother to Dragons , " and was accepted by the * editor of the Atlantic Monthly , who re marked , not knowing its authorship , "Tho man who wrote Ibis will never do anything stronger. " It was published anonymously , and scored an immediulo success. "The Farrier Lass o' Piping Pebwnrth" followed in Lipplncott's , and nflorwards came "Nurse Cruip.pct'u Story" and the "Story of Arnon. " The work which has rnaiio her name famous "The Quick or the Dead" was pub- lUiied in Lipplncott's of last April. Its construction portraved the amateur , but withal there was a force and originality about it that demanded recognition , and Miss Rives found herself a cele brity in the literary world. Her latest production "Herod and Marian no" appears in Lipplncot's for the current month , and is found moro ambitious than any of her proceeding efforts , nnd bus been moro highly eulogized and bovoroly criticized. Loss than throe months ago the en gagement of Miss Rives to John Arm strong Chanler was announced , and in Juno the marriage took place at Miss Rives'homo in Virginia.

A'FOREMAN OF WINNING WAYS A IJDJIK Itmi < > r Ivuolc Interrupted by Iminconl Kim Honi : . San Francibco Chronicle : Prom the Mojave dosart comes a btory of celestial simplicity and American avarice , as re lated by Wong Chung , a railroad la borer contractor who resides in China town. The first part of the tale will bound rather oddly to San Franciscans , accustomed in they are to BOO the wily heathen gambler have everything liis own way. A section foreman named James Daly , who commands a crow of about a dozen Mongolians , on that part of the Atlantic & P.ictllo road which runs ever the cac tus covered plain east of Mojave , re cently acquired a bad reputation among the olllcials of the road. They could not discharge him because they did not know anything particularly bad about him. He always seemed to attend to his duties promptly and wad always on hand when the pay car mndo its monthly run ncrou the desert. The only thing that caused Him to bo regarded with susclpion was the fact that ho never could keep a gang at work for him steadily. As fauroly as the end of the month came around , just bo surely would Duly send up to headquarters a requisi tion for a new lot of Chinese. "What has bocornoof your old gang ? " was the usual question from the super intendent. "Loft" ' was the regulation reply from Daly. "What for ? " was always the next query. "Dunno. Maybe 'twas too hot for 'om. " Then Daly would smile grimly. DAs gang after gang quit work on Daly's section the olllcials bccamo more and moro anxious to know the cause , but this was a hard matter. Wong Chung , the contractor , know if the rail road people did not. "Too muoheo pokah , " ho explained to the . "Boss reporter. getteo China man into big game cutohoo ulleo money. " Then ho went on to relate how ho sent down from this city , first and lat > t , nearly two hundred , mon for section work on the desert , and probably ono- half ot those had taken . their turn on Daly's section , and they had never boon able to realize any further beuclltli'om the appearance of the pay car than that of a half-day's possession of their hard- earned wages. Daly would glvo thorn a kindergarten lesson with the cards , at the end of which ho would walk away with all their coin. It was goner * ally a bitter lesson for the rico-ontors , and as it is ono of their superstitions that to remain in company with a man who is able to beat thorn in games of chance is to incur the everlasting dis pleasure of the gods , they would at once botout to hunt another job. "And how is Daly now ? " was asked. "Is ho still working hia way into thu Dockets of your simple countrymenV" The Celestial didn't understand tho. question , but in his subsequent re marks ho made reply to It all the same.

"I sendee Sim Song down to Mo- habbo , 'long with a gnngea section men. Ho como 'long to Daly's and knuckoo him out , quick 'nough. " How it happened may bo briefly re lated. Sim Song worked along with the common laborers until the pay cart hove in sight. Then ho laid down hia pick , wont over to the boss and told him ho was sick that ho would have to quit work. Ho wont to the cabin in which the Mongolians lodged and hung around there until night timeand when the boss came around to propose the regular monthly game lie lay on hia couch moaning. "Hero's your money , " Baid Daly , handing him his wages. But the Chinese took little interest in the pay ment , and stulllng the money into his pocket wont on moaning. Ho was not in the game when it started , nor. In deed , until the other hands had boon "broken. " Then Daly , who was not above boating Chinese out of his month's wngos , insisted that Sim was wall enough to take a hand in the game. Sim protested that ho was too feeble to hold the cards , but as Daly would hear no refusal , the moaning and groaning delegate from Chinatown said ho would come in on a two-bit ante , with a $2 limit. So at it they wont , Slra displaying a profound ignorance of the game , and Daly chuckling ever the case with which he" won his money. Then' the luck turned and Daly lost gnmo after game , ami n" the limit had boon raised from time to time , ho found him- eslf betting heavily. After a while ho had to go ever to his section house and go under the mattress for more monoy. which ho eagerly staked in the hope of regaining his lost coin. Sim still handled the cards clumsily , but It was noticed that ho had stopped moaning. They played until daylight , and when the train for San Francisco Btoppod at the water tank at 7 o'clock , Sim got on board with $800 in his possession , hav ing entirely "cleaned out" the boss. The latest advlcos from Mojnvo nra that Daly has quit playing poker , nnd that his mon now stick to him as closely as if ho had never had a mascot and baa never worked it for nil it was worth to raibo his bunk account.
