Thn heroine of "Knto Wothcrlll; on

moro familiar In New Kngland than In nny
other part of the country. Horn and brought
up In a manufacturing village, sho marries,
almost ns a nnttcr of course, u stalwart
youth employed In tho factory, llettcr ed
ucated than her husband and endowed with
capabilities and aspirations beyond his com
prehension, sho finds herself speedily dis
illusioned, nnd tho tordld conditions of her
llfo drlvo her to tho verge of suicide. At
this point sho experiences n moral awaken
ing and comes, through spiritual suffering,
to great peace. Tho sub-tltlo of the story
suggests Dante and, like the "Divine Com

subdivisions hell, purgatory and paradise.

acquisition by (he Pennsylvania rnllroad of

It a factor In tho management of tho prop

LEAGUE TO REMAIN INTACT
.Morton DUnRrceN with C'ollrumirn of
Sound Money League
Committee,
NEW YORK. April 4. A majority of tho
executlvo committee of tho Sound Money
leaguo are In favor of continuing the league
nnd of taking part In the national campaign
In case tho .democratic platform contains a
freo silver plank. It was tho wish of .1.
Sterling Morton, formerly tecrctary of
agriculture, and until recently the president
of tho leaguo, to close up the organization
and to havo tho balance In the treasury,
amounting to something over $10,000, devoted
to tho contlnunnco of publishing sound
money arguments In it paper, tho C n
servatlvc, published by hi in In Nebraska.
Tho other members of the executlvo com
mittee of tho lenguo wero not In sympathy
with Mr. Morton, cither with his Idea of
closing tho league or his disposing of the
treasury balance, und theso tllffo'encoB of
opinion are, it Is said, responsible for Mr.
Morton's decision to refuse n re-olcction ns
president of tho league. He was succeeded
last week ns president by Mr. Cowen, presi
dent of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
Aside from Mr. Morton the members of
the executlvo committee believe It Is yet too
early to give up tho machinery which was
created during tho actlvo work of tho league.
If tho Kansas City convention nomlnntcs Mr.
Hrynu on tho Chicago platform It will, the
committee argues, bo necessary to have un
effective organization to counteract the
efforts of tho free silver people, In order
to prevent the latter from making decided
progress.
A. Ilarton Hepburn, a member of tho ex
ecutive committee of the league, said: "The
