THE FALLEN MAN AND WOMAN
Ella Wheeler Wilcox Argues Woman is Not
Always Stoned While Man Goes Free.
HOLDS THAT THERE IS NO SEX IN SIN
The I'ontriii of I'nHRlon Itcjcalls Instances of
MIUI'M Keen KtiTerluBH ( lor Sins Com
mitted s to ry of Two lleuutl-
ful Western llellcn.
,
The settled Impression of the world seems
to bo that erring woman is always crushed
under her own shame and the scorn of mail-
kind , while the erring man goes free ,
favored by women and admired by his own
sex.
Authors , preachers , pools and authors
unanimously express the opinion that
woman once fallen from her high and chaste
pedestal Is never allowed to rise , while man
escapes ull punishment for a similar sin.
I have road many books wherein a fallen
woman figured , nnd never yet read ono
which allowed her any future sat o death or
the convent. If the male sinner of the same
kind receives any punishment at the hands of
the novelist , It is after a long and successful
career of pleasure and prosperity , and is
usually a sudden death In a railroad disas
ter.

All this , of course , so far as the woman
goes , Is an excellent warning to good young
girls ; but is it fair to the many women who
have already made ono misstep ! and Is it
moral reading for the male young person ?
It certainly Is not true to the life of today.
Take any community of 10,000 Inhabitant * ,
look closely Into the lives of those people who
form Us "best society , " and you will ilnd
women who have erred and lived down their
errors , and men who have suffered for their
sins.

While my sincere sympathy must over go
with the women in these matters , slnco by
nature on her falls the greater penalties , yet
observation and a sense of Justice have com
pelled mo to modify former sweeping asser
tions , which 1 , like the world at largo , have
made upon the subject of relative immorality
of the sexes.
No just and thinking person can reside ten
years yi a largo city , or move about among
people , and not acknowledge the fallacy of

far more for their sins than the world at

A young man of my acquaintance lost the
plrl ho dearly loved by having his naino as
sociated with an immoral affair , wherein ho
was really guiltless of any sin.
Both were intlmatofrionds of mno ! ; and 1
riitnessed the ngony and despair of the man
during many months. The fact that ho

It will bo 'urged by sentimentalists that had
It been n woman hose reputation was thus
marred no future marriage and success could
have been possible. But this Is true only In
tory book * or In eases where the woman Is
peculiarly sensitive , and whoso nature and
Invlrohinent shut her away from the UU-
Iraction and the possibilities of a now life
Some years ago a young girl dwelling In a
town not many hours from the metropolis of
America was wooed , seemingly with honora
ble motives , by a man of high social po
sition and of great personal attrac
tion ; but by and by the young
man disappeared , leaving a brand
of shame upon the brow of the poor girl.
She was taken away and years of bitter sor- .
raw , sharp agony and blinding remorse
for her and hers followed. The man , in the ]
meantime , married a lady to whom ho had ,
been aflianeed ; but when , ono day , accident I
brought to the knowledge of the young wife
the base action of her husband during their
betrothal she left him , taking with her the
child ho worshiped. Deserted and dis
graced this man surely tasted some of the
bitter dregs of sin. Meanwhile the wronged
girl married and is a respectable wife today.
This is a woman's century ; and in the
light which it casts upon her pathway she
finds that she , as well as man , can progress
ui ) and out of error. It Is undoubtedly more
difllcult for her to live down past folly than
for her brother man , unless she Is endowed
with a certain aplomb , which belongs to the
adventuress t.vue of woman.
Wo speak of an erring woman under ono
category ; but they differ as widely as the
fallirg stars differ.
'Ihero are girls who go wrong because they
have no one to show them how to go right ;
girls who are boused up like nuns , yet with
out n nun's occupations or devotions , and
who finally break through the false restric
tions surrountllng their lives as oent-up
rivers break through a dam.
Again , others there are whoso licensed
freedom of action , together with ilnherlted
tcndencic.s.load to theirdownfall tendencies
which properly directed might have proved
the anchor for a happy homo ; many fall
through Ignorance and curiosity ; more
through moral vlclousness mixed with vanity
nnd avarice ; hundreds through starvation
prices paid by monopolies for labor ; and a
tow , a very few , through misplaced lovo.
It is the mercenary and vicious sinner who
becomes most widely known to tha world ,
nnd vrliq most frequently poses as a victim
of man's perfidy. But the woman who really
deserves our deepest sympathies for having
been blinded by hur love and led into sin
boars her sorrow nnd shame in silence , and
never appeals to the public for sympathy.
In olden times such nn error was supposed to
end a woman's career forever ; but , 1 repeat ,
If wo investigate the lives of society people
Iu any city today , wo ilnd among its ranks
women v ho have lived down serious follies.
In a western town.fnmousjonco upon a time
for its beautiful girls , two young \\omen vied
with each other for the palm of bcllcshlp.
Both wcro beautiful and bright ; ono
was weak , sweet , and full of affec
tion ; the other ambitious , mercen
ary and designing. The sweet ,
weak girl was led into disgrace , and her
name became a byword in her own town.
The other married a rich man , ran through
his fortune In twayears , dcseitcd him and
enteredupon a llfo of adventure , which for
years was a record of gilded vice and folly ,
Finally , tiring of this life , she was received
bj her husband , whose restored fortunes
made a reconciliation seem desirable to her.
Sno moves in excellent society today , enter
tains , and is admired bv a largo circle of
friends. Her early rival , after years of re-
pcntanco and sorrow for her past , married a
noble and wealthy man and removed to a dis
tant city , whore she is beloved and respected
at the present time.
It may bo urged that the recital of such
cases will have a pernicious effect
upon young girls ; tiiat they will
discourage good women and encourage
the viciously inclined. 1 do not bo-
Hove there is a girl In the land who would
consciously or willingly fuco the career of
cither of these women , I believe any good
woman , however lonely and unloved , would
shrink from excuanging Ihvs with them.
Out of the pahicu of hive und peace they
must often bo led into the inquisition cham
ber of memory. When a woman once loves ,
the recollection of past familiarities , how
ever slight , with other lovers becomes a
source of regret to her ; how much keener
must thU regret be nuen memory
past shame to view ; for to woman love ever
brings a desire of self-immolation and soul-
surrender impossible to a masculine nature.
Alas for the woman between whom and this
sacrament of surrender stands memory with
a lifted sword 1 This is the eternal punish
ment which she must suffer , however Ion-
lent and forgiving the world may be.
Woman has over been man's teacher. For
centuries she has taught him to believe thnt
ho must pluugo into all sorts of excesses and
Immoralities to bo attractive to her , and ns
reward he should take a spotless creature to
wife , and if ho reform after marriage ho
should bo canoui/ed. But during the last
century she has begun to teach him that self-
restraint Is quite as possible for him as for
her ; and slowly but surely is man coming to
realize that he must not demand so much
ingaved so little in the way of .norals
Whatever the cynic ma\ say to the contrary ,
a higher and broader idea of morality and
Justice is taking hold of the minds of men.
When wo say that "tho world countenances
man's immoralities , " wo seem to forget that
the world Is composed of women as well as
men. Women have never before educated
the conscience of men in the matter of the
social evil , and conscience in these affairs is
almost entirely a thing of educa-
cation. Therefore , while only the excep
tionally refined man suffers in any degree
from the pangs of conscience , ho certainly
suffers in many other ways for his immorali
ties. I have known a man to lose his posi
tion in the business world , his social stand
ing , and lo be expelled from his club ns the
result of a fall from virtue. His wife ob
tained a divorce and took her children to his
mother's homo. Ho married the girl who
had been the cause of his fall , and the two
lived a life of absolute social ostracism In
their native city. Ho died in the prime of
lifn , a victim of remorse ; and even his own
family refused to attend his funeral.
It is n strange fact that a woman who has
retired from the lists of folly into the shelter
of a respectable homo is seldom molested by
her former male comrades in sin ; while the
man who attempts to reform and become a
loyal husband Is almost invariably persecuted
or tempted by the women who have partici
pated in his past.
I never heard of but ono man who was
base enough to attempt to destroy the
marital happiness of a reformed woman.
She snot him dead , and the verdict was ,
"Served him right ! " But the cases are in
numerable where women attempt to lure
married men back to their old follies and
to destroy the wife's peace. Certainly , in
this respect , the reformed woman has the
caster time of It. Of course , we must muko
the allowance for the woman being wronged
in the oeglnnlng ; yet the girl who falls
through blind love is not the ono who re
venges herself upon an innocent wlfo after
wards. It is rather the act of a balked ad
venturess , cheated of her golden prize.
There are scores of men today all about us
who are being slowly tortured by the de
mand for hush money to hide some old sin
men who never open the morning paper with
out a chill of apprehension , and who never
hear the door bell ring without a quiver of
the nerves. Men who seek political laurels
can testify to my words. Yet those who
know of the stain uiran the honor of these
men say : "Behold the injustice of the
world , which mctos out no punishment to
erring man ! "
There are hundreds of men who suffer
year after year the tortures of disease , con
scious that they are reaping what they have
sown. God Is not so gruat u respecter of sex
as the world at large supposes ; and men are
punished more frequently and thoroughly
for their sins then is Imagined by those who
sou only the surface of life.
There is a spiritual wave swooping over
the world which will compel men to suffer
more and more for their sins , just as there is >
a grow ing liberalism of thought which com
pels the puullo to give woman a chance to
live down her mistakes. Slowly but surely
the world'is coming to the knowledge that
there is no sex In sin , nnd that a universal
standard of morality must bo adopted for
men and women , and that the mantle of
charity must bo stretched out wide enough
to cover the fallen woman as well as the
fallen man. KUA Wnstwu WILCOX.

The locomotive , John Bull with twoanciont
cars , arrived In Chicago yesterday afternoon ,
having completed the Journey from Jersey
City to Jucltbon park over the Pennsylvania
Central railroad in nighty-four hours. At
all paints along the route the venerable rolie
of pioneer railroading was greeted by
crowds of young and old , and was inspected
and examined by thousands. The young regarded -
gardod the ancient machine with as much
curiosity and interest as they would a cir
cus , while the graybeards rubbcn their eyes
to determine whether their boyhood days
had comu back. The Journey was a trium
phal march t6 slow music twelve miles an
hour was the gait and was attended with

primitive railroading.

The original weight ; of the engine was
about ten tons. The. boiler was thirteen
feet long and three foot six inches In diame
ter. The cylinders were nine by twenty
inches. There were , four driving wheels ,
four feet six inches in diameter , made with
cast iron hubs and wooden spokes and fel
loes. The tires were 01 wrought iron , three-
quarters of an Inch thick , and the depth of
flange was 0110 and a half inches , The
original guago was llvq foot. The Interior
arrangements were primitive In the extreme ,
and the handling of the lovers used in start
ing or reversing involved a considerable
amount of hard work op. the engineer. When
the engine had Dually ; been successfully ar

Engineer Dripps , nervous with excitement ,
opened the throttle and the locomotive
moved over the rails Between 1831 and
1830 the John Bull underwent considerable
modification , as changes suggested them
selves to the watchful eves of the American
mechanic , and in the latter year the engine
was in active service on the CumJen &
Am boy road Just as she appears today. Dur
ing the more than half a century of life the
sturdy old machine suffered many vicissi
tudes of fortune. After many years of ad
mirable service the modern machinist suc
ceeded iu prouucing Improvements which
relegated the old engine to the aide track ,
and it was stored away In Bordcntown for n
number of years In 1870 it was rescued
from the oblivion which was enveloping it
in the quiet Jersey town and exhibited at
the Philadelphia centennial , where It at
tracted much Attention , Its next nubile ap
pearance was at the Chicago exposition of rail

tionetU of the Pilot.
One of tne most notable features of the
John Bull Is the pilot , commonly known ns
the cowcatcher. As originally constructed
in England there was no pilot attached , but
when the engine was placed In service on
the Camden & Amboy road it was found
nbsolute'y necessary to provide a pilot in
order to assist the machine in taking curves.
Mr. Stevens set himself the task of planning
one , and although it was a crude and awk
ward affair it served the purpose. The first
pilot was a frame made of oak , 8vi feet ,
jiinnoil together at the corners. Under the
forward end were a pair of wheels twenty-
six Inches In diameter , while the other end
was fastened to an extension of the axle out
side of the forward driving wheels , as it was
found that a play of about one Inch on each
side of the pedestal of the front wheels was
necessary to get around the curves. At
first it required a considerable pile
of stones' to hold the pilot down
to its work , and oven then it is
a matter of tradition that it had a pernicious
habit of getting of ! the track on very slight
provocation. When the engine was to bo
turned the pilot had to bo removed , as the
turntables at that day were too short to ac
commodate It. The pilot which now adorns
the frontispiece of the John Bull Is a some
what loss cumbersome modification of the
ono first constructed.

Wood was the original fuel which made
the steam , but tliu furnace has been changed
now for coal. The inclosed tender contains
a storage capacity for about B,200 pounds of
coal and a tank holding 1,600 gallons of
water. The water Is sulllcient for a run of
thirty miles and the coal will last through
ninety. The curious contrivance , resem
bling a poke bonnet , which surmounts the
tender was called the "gig-top. " In it sat
the forward hrakcnian , who not only kept
a sharp lookout for other trains approached

the rear brakeman when the occasion required -

motive and tender by a long lever which extended -
tended up between his knees. There was no
bell cord nor gong on the locomotive , so nil
communication between engineer nna brakeman -
man was by word of mouth All these orig
inal features are retained in the restored en
gine. The body of the locomotive and the
tender Is painted an olive green , the romiin-
dor of the iron work is thojutur.il color , un
broken by tno brass or nickel bearings of the
present day. The John Bull weighs 23,000
pounds , exclusive of the tender , and U'4300
including the tender. The ordinary stand
ard passenger locomotive in use on the Ponn-
svlvanla railroad at the present time weighs
176,000 pounds , or more than tivo times as
much as Us original predocessrr.
Coaohtti of Other D-iyi.
Two passenger coaches are attached to
the historic engine , and these coaches are
hardly less Interesting than the locomotive
itself. Ono of them was discarded over
twenty-live years iigo and purchased by a
New Jersey farmer , who converted It Into a
chicken coop. It was discovered and hought
a few months ago In a hunt for relics by a
representative of the Pennsylvania railroad.
It was carefully refitted and appears now
In all the pristine glory of Its palmv dtys.
The other was unearthed from n lump of
lumberyard rubbish and stored away many
years ago In the Meadows shops. Now It has
been restored , Us parts coming from the
scrap heap and blacksmith shjps , und ono
missing truck found In a Jersey marl pit ,

It was peculiarly fitting that the crew
which handled the train should be selected
from the veterans of the service. W. T.

conductor since 1S.VJ. Jonas Hagar , "gi -

tion in 1810 , and Is now ynrdmaster at New
Biunswick. Thomas Gallagher , rear brakeman -
man , llrst served In the simo capa"ity in
1819 , and is now a passenger conductor. A.

the John Bull in the early fifties , and ho has

iu the same capacity in 18. > 5 , and Is now

service as foreman of the Jersey City shops

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser is author
ity for the statement that President Cleve
land nnd his former secretiry of the navy
are at outs , and that in an Interview with
George Bleinstoln , proprietor of the Buffalo
Courier , Whitney declared thit ho would
never have anything to do with his former
chief nor with his administration. As the
story goes , when Whitney was returning
from his yachting trip to the West In lies
some six weeks ago , ho was met by Mr.
Blelnstein with a request to call on the pres
ident , but the ox-secretary replied to the in
vitation with n blunkoty-blank , doubly em-
phasU'jd , If ho would , and oxpl lined to the
Buffalo editor that when his former chlof
was running for president last yuir and his
prospects wcro not the brightest , Cleveland
had authorized him tomakoanumberof prop
ositions and promises to men who controlled
the result of the election , which ho had
done , pledging his word. Cleveland was
elected , "and every sensible man knows that
It was duo to these arrangements , " said
Whitney , and now "not ono single promise
has been kept , nnd there Is no Indication
that ho proposes to recognize any of these
pledges. " Under these circumstances Mr.
Whitney does not believe that his own soif
respect could allow him to have anything
further to do with the stuffed prophet po I -
Ically , and he is acting accordingly. This
will servo to explain why the ox-secretary
failed to call at the white house when ho
passed through Washington ft few weeks
ago. Secretary Lament's frequent visits to
New York recently to see Mr. Whitney may
have been with a view to placating the l.it
tcr , but thoflu who should bo In n position to
know siy that the ox-saerotary Is not to bo
placated , and that as far as tie is concerned
it is a case of "quits. "
