She wrote anonymously a novel abont a your ago which attracted attention, and has since then written two short stories whirh have added to her fame, and though nho needs no pecuniary stimulus, yet her successes have brought ber considerable sums of money. Mrs. Cruger was mar-ried some years ago to Col. Van Rensse-laer Cruder, whose name itself indicates bis position in social circles. IIo wa well known not only in society but to the business and political world of New York state long before bis wife bad any other repute than that of u charming al queen. Col.

However, be was always proud of bis wife, and it rather pleaded him when he wns inlro-- 3 need as tho husband of Elizabeth Cady btanton. There are revend contemporaneous examples worth ipiotrig of men who de-light in the recently won literary fame of their wives. One of the most romantic stories is that of the court; hip ami married lite of Dr. Uurnett and liis wife, Frances Hodg-son Ilurnett. Mrs. Burnett, who win born ill England, but whose family bad removed to Km t Tennessee in her child- - hood, was a dreamy and yet vivacious girl still in In r teens when she met a young man, equally poor, but who possessed, a grtvat ambiiiu'.i to become a physician of ability and wide repute. )r. Burnett ttreiicd mi lieiue, and was licensed to practice it in this remote Tennessee sct- - t elm nt, and while his practice was still p.treme'y small be married young ' Frances Hodgson when she was litUo ti: re than a girl. She had written some . l lile tales which had been published, but t. j Bl'e t;:id no idea of a life of literary faun1. , .V" ) Dr. liui nett was specially fascinated by l he study of the eye and its diseases, lad ho had a consuming desire to goto tiie ;ieat hospitals of Kurope, put him-- j lelf under the distinguished oculists there and by a course of severe training - fit himself as a specialist in diseases of the eye. His wif'j shared bis ambition, md it occurred to her that possibly she rould help him. So she took np her pen, and calling np tho recollections of her child life in the mining districts of Lancashire, England, wrote a story, nhich she timidly submitted to tho ed-itor of one of the great magazines. It was instantly accepted, and Mrs. Bur- - nett found that it brought her not only i sufficient sum to make the course of itndy in Europe possible, but that it had brought her literary reputation as well. This was "That Lass o Lowrio's." With the money thus earned Dr. Bur-nett and his wife went abroad, and Ii v- - big with great economy they were able to spend two years there. At the cud of that time Dr. Burnett was regarded by the physicians as not only a master of this sjiecialty bnt as! promising to bo of great service to the MR. ("KK. ' when of a sudden her friends in tlio lit--! nary world were by tii an-nouncement of her engagement to a young theilogian, the lie v. Dr. Ward. Miss 1 'helps had won success by her first novel, "The ( iivtes Ajar," and she bad mstained and increased it by a succes-sion of stories which have appeared quit-- regularly for more than twenty years. biio was a full grown woman when Dr. Ward was a boy in pinafores, bnt he in Lis childhood admired her stories, and when he came to man's estate and knew Miss Phelps admiration was supple-mented by affection, and the woman, touched by this evidence of sincerity, gave to him what she had declined to others her heart. The union, iu spite of the difference of years, is an ideal one first, because lovo is there, and next liecause they have a common aim, for since their marriage Dr. Ward has collaliorated with his wife, the result of this joint labor being two novels upon themes Liken from the Bible, and it is in their contemplation to publish a seri s of this sort. Perhaps tho prettiest little romance of all is the story of how Rose Terry Cooke won her husband. Rose Terry was a Kew England girl who bad by a series of exquisite short stories won tributes not only from literary critics but from the great reading public. Among those who admired these stories was a youm banker named Cooke, who lived iu the country village of Win.-te-d, t.'onn. His recreation was in the reading of them, and he looked forward to a new story from liose Terry with inteiisest delight. He became cashier of lim local bank, and, as M.ss Terry was at that time liv-ing in Wrnsted, he was able not only to admire her works but to bestow a con-siderable t hare of this admiration upon the woman herself. She was older thaa be, the difference in years being consid-erable, but that seemed the more to fas- - cinate ttie young and those liv-ing in Winsted who saw the gentleness, chivalry and admiration which charac-terized bis courtship remember it even to this day as the most ideal gallantry. They were married about a dozen yeau ago, and their married life has been ideal Mr. Cooke was until recently the lead-in- g banker in the village, und in busi-ness affairs esteemed a most shrewd and 0 caiable man. A year or two ago he ro-- moved to littsuViil, Mass. But more than the making of money does the re-- I pute of his wife give him satisfaction, und he takes even greater pleasure in ' hearing her praises sounded than shs does h irself. It is his crown of happi-ness that he is known as the husband of liose Terry Cooke. E. J. Edwards. HON, S. V. H. profession to further investigations. They returned to America and settled in Washington, living humbly while Dr. Burnett was building up a practice there. While he was busy with his microscojie and instruments Mrs. Bur-nett took up her pen again and wrote two more stories whtch did not add greatly to her fame. It was not until Biie wrote "Little Lord Fauntleroy," which was an inspiration of the mo-ment, and then produced tho play of that name that she began to experience, !'s sh" expressed it, the sense of luxury v. h a good bank account gives. Meanwhile Dr. Burnett went on with b .s special studies, and was winning a r-- p:.te iu the medical profession as great ns that his wife enjoyed in literature. I'm was reeosruized as one of tho ablest in the United States, both prac-tical and theoretical, and be was at last ( .: ! .ed by election to the presidency of i the societv which has this special tv as its t ,'cHiiar province, tie is sun winnwg great honors, and there are many phy-sicians who predict tliat he will be re-garded before many years have passed ' as tho ablest of all the American phy-sicians who have made the eye their specialty. j Of course the bnstness interests which ' compelled Mrs. Burnett to devote al-- most all her time to her pen, and, on tho other hand, She close and exhaustive at- - j tention wliich Dr. Burnett gave to bin chosen field, have made it necessary for them to live somewhat apart. The most recent case of literary sue-- cess won by a woman is that of Mrs. STATESMEN ORATORS. MEMBERS OF THE LATE FifTY-FlRS- T CONGRESS WHO SPOKE WELL. Holrann, the Trriwiarys Watch Dof. limit, lie nl II Is ndl-I.ik- o Voice JMrKli.lcj iukI His rldgo, Hi" SllTor Haired. ' W a.suimjton; Jrtsrcfc r". person in search of an cxamplo-o- f tho true Del-sarti-an grace in oratory would scarcely look for it in tho houseof representatives. Even if he would be content with a proper otiservanco of the ordinary rules of speech making laid down by those who profess to teach tho art, it is prob-ubl- o that, he would be sadly disappointed if he were to expect to see them prac-ticed by the members of the national legislature. Tho average memlier of congress Buys what ho has to say as well as he can and then sits down, troubling himself very little about the manner vt his saying it, bo long as bis words are parl'anientary. There is not one who would dare lo expose himself to the ridi-cule of his colleagues on tho floor by adopting any set of rules for bis guid-ance as to the manner of delivering a speech, even if be bad the time to pre-pare himself in that way, for the. mem-bers are very quick to see und make fun of mannerism in debate. Nevertheless there were orators of no mean ability in I ho house of representatives whose ses-sion has just closed, and every one of tlem has a characteristic mannerism by which ho is as easdy recognized as by his voice or face. There is Judge Holmin, for instance, Had it not been for the failure of his voice ho would have loen one of the most powerful debaters, us ho is one of the mostintoresliiigof talkers. Always well up on the subjects coming before the Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, is one or tna old timers, and it is a sight wil worth seeing to hear him make a speech, as an Irishman might say. "Joe," as he is familiarly and affectionately called by his colleagues, pets a good ileal excited when he has tho floor on an important matter. His arms whirl around big head and he pounds his desk until it is almost certain that there will be a call--; inet maker's bill to jwy for repairs. His Lair gets dishevelid from the frequency with which he runs his hands through it, and ho usually reqnireg a clear gang-way up and down the aisle to enable him to rid himself of his flow of words with comfort to himself. Now lie walks menacingly down the aisle toward the sjieaker, shaking his fist as though bo would knock the very life out of him; then he turns suddenly toward a member beside him, and looking him straight in tho eye argues with him, as though ho was the only person in hear-ing distance, and again he darts back to his desk and cont inues bis volley as from a coign of vantage. Not witliNtanding his jx culiar nnd somewhat exciting de-livery, Cannon is a good and forciblo talker, and he never gets on liis feet for nothing. A new orator made his appearance in the congress just closed. He hailed from Iowa, and bis name is Jouatluia P. Dol-live- r, lie has a ringing voice, and I19 utters rhythmic sentences with marvel-ous fluency. His gestures are graceful, and bespeaks with the greatest wute. IIo is oily 'M years of age, and has already gained an enviable reputation for him-self in his own state, Orrin C. Moore, of New Hampshire, is another of the now inemliers who jumped into the front rank of orators in the Fifty-firs- t con- - press. Tall and thin himself, his sen- - tences aro short and pithy. Ho is pict- - uivsqno and original in his illustrations, ' und his logic is of a forcefnl character. Harues, tho heavy weight from Georgia, is a good speaker, but on account of his weight does not often address tho honse. Wlvn ho does he attract attention. Hit l;uiiru!KO is graceful, but his (jestunt are somewhat conliued, not at all to b wondered at when it Is considered that he weih over 400 pounds. Usually during his speech his hands rest coni-fii-Ub- ly on his capacious waistcoat, and be di'8 not do much walking about while talking. One of the queerest talkers is Wilson, of Washington, flu has a thin, piping voice, rather unpleasant to tho ear and reminding one of the efforts of avert-triloijni- st. Mr. Mason, of C'hicairo, fc1 amusing to watch on tiie floor. While talking his round, chubby face gets red-der anil redder, his hair becomes dis-ordered, he stands now on one foot, now on Mie other, und bis handkerchief is frequently called into requisition to mop the perspiration engendered by his ex-- rrtions from the back of his neck. It is ciirioais, but Mr. M.ison docs not perspire on the forehead as most men do. His collar, after tho delivery of one of his gymnastic speihes, is a sight to see, and the bow of his necktie invariably crawls around and rests under his left ear. Little Washington, of Tennessee, jumps around while making a speech, doubles himself np as thongh he had tho colic, and usually is so hoarse before he is half way through that his own mother would not recognize his voice. Springer, of Illinois, wonld find it im- - possible to continno talking if Homebody surreptitiously removed his spectacles, Not that he needs the glasses to talk with, but ho 1ms become so accustomed to holding them in bis hand and shaking them at the speaker that ho would lose tho thread of his discourse and his voice together unless he could have them with him. His method of using them is some- - j what jteculinr. Ou rising to address the chair Mr. Springer takes otf the Hpecto-- house, experienced in procedure, strong in argument, if his voice was more effect-- ive he would be a powerful ally on the side of any measure. Unfortunately, it is wilh difiieulty that the house can catch what he has to say. When he talks yon may Is1 sun' (ii.it ho will have tlio fore-finger of bis right hand pointed in tho direction of some inemlier whoso atten-- i ti"ii be particularly wishes to attract, anil bis arm will le going up and down in a faithful imitation of a pump handle, emphasizing every other word. He has ' only ono variation to this method, and that is when, in his capacity of "watch dog of tin) treisnry," he feels called upon to object to sumo pending measure. Then bo jumps up from bis s"ut, sticks out that forefinger el his at aconsider--! able elevation over his head, but directed at the speaker, aiidejHenlatos "I object." That usually settles tho matter, for Mr. Holiiuui is a dogged fighter, anil is not easily jsTsuaded to withdraw an objec-tion once made. Boutello is an entirely different kind of an orator from Mr. Holuian. With a clear, strong voice, iwujant us a bell, ha in heard without difiieulty in all parts of the bouse, und in a tumult his loud tones can be distinguished alsive all the shout-ing nnd confusion. Instead of pointing out one finger, Boutolle finds it necessary to use his whole fist for emphasis, nnd with clinched hand ho bangs the air or his desk, us the case may be, as though bo was repelling boarders on his old ship as in days of yore. He has the eye and tho disposition of the hawk, and he swoops down on unwary members with-out mercy. He is very fond of inter-rupting Democratic speakers to make some sarcastic allusion to the post, and he rubs the pcpior of reconstruction into the old wounds of tho Confederate veter-ans at every opportunity. A not her distinct type of oratory is that which characterizes McKiuley. Suave, calm and dignified, he never gets ex-cited. Ho is impressive in debate and tho words roll from his hps in well rounded sentences. His voice is clear and well modulated. Ho has a habit when making a particularly pointed re-mark of stretching out his forefingers and thumbs to the widest extent, allow-ing the other three fingers of both hands to lie passive ou tho palms. Probably the member who uses gest-ures the least is silver haired Breckin-ridge, of Kentucky. Standing in the middle of an aisle, ho rests his hands on two desks, and his voice, at first husky, gradually becomes as clear as a flute's notes. He is a model of courtesy, and many of his sjieeches are masterpieces of eloquence. In debate his face has a roseate flush, and his pale blue eyes flash with intelligence, (ireenholge, of Massa-chusetts, is another fine orator whose gestures are few but well chosen. He speaks calmly and without passion, but an antagonist should not feel reassured by bis engaging air, for Oreenlialge's arguments are strung with sarcasm bit-ter and biting, and bis thrusts are keen and sloshing. lie made bis reputation by a speec h on a contested election case, and since then there are few who have had the temerity to interrupt hiin in de-bate. The greatest orator of them, all in the opinion of many is Mr. Butterworth, of Ohio. His speeches are delivered with all the fire and vim of a man greatly in i cles from his nose, extends his arm me-chanically, shakes his glasses by the han-dle three times at tho speaker (nobody ever saw him shake them only once or twice or even four times it is always three), says "Mr. Speaker," and then his arm drops again. Of course it takes longer to describe it than for liiui to do it, but the peculiar part about it is that the performance is exactly the same every time, once a day or twice a day, at the end as at the beginning of tho ses-sion. McMillin, of Tennessee, is a nervons talker, too thoroughly in earnest to waste words in jokes. Silver Dollar Bland lias two entirely different voices. When ho is talking about the free coin-ag- o of fiilver his voice seems to catch some of the metallic ring associated with his pet hobby. But on other occasions it sounds as though ho had a turnip in his month and could not get rid of it. I'ayson, of Illinois, is a bright, quick, sharp debater, always ready and always strong in argument. His voice is one of tho best in the house, and its full, round and clear tones can be heard even in the cloak rooms. Kerr, of Iowa, has a femny voice, and his actions are what iu a schoolboy would be called "sassy." Nothing pleases luui so much as to get ' up and interrupt a speaker by asking questions. That his questions are gen-enill- y not in the least pertinent to tho subject matter in hand is not of the least concern to him. He se"ms to think that it was his mis- - tiou. when he was sent to congress, to ask questions, and he has been tilting it ever since. He would have re- - signed long Wore this if there had been a rule forbidding the interruption of members during a speech. Walter Weixmax. earnest, and that, according to Dan Dougherty, is thn test of all others of an orator. liuttcrwortli is a wit, and his speeches always sparkle with humorous sallies at the expense of bis fellow mem-bers or, rather, at the expense of their argument, for he is never personal and with good stories to illustrate his points. His gestures aro graceful ami more varied than those of any other lipeaker on the floor. Now he will take on u confidential air and ex-tend his forefinger in a crook, aa though ho were buttonholing the whole house, and then he will throw for-ward both arms, with hands flat and spen, as much as to say that no stu-ibl- e man could ask for more of an ex-planation than that ho had given. One would never imagine from the inury twinkle of his eyes that be crane from good old Quaker stock, but snch is tlio fact, though he has dropped everything j that might connect him with his ancea- - tow, and is an inteirstod onlooker at the Washington balls, a participator in nil. the winicr jrayeties, and pven goes to the german with his daughter. Mx. Crisp, of Uoorgia, is a good talker. His reputation for courtesy in debate and prowess in dealing with public ques- - tiom is quite the eqnal of that of Mr. Carlisle, whom he also rejiiibles in the Serious tone of bis nature. against Mr. Heed's new rules was the geia of that controversy. It w.is caustic to tho last degree, but full of dignity, nnd his party friends were dehghtcl with it. His delivery is quiet and dis-passionate, and he relies more u;iou the force of his logic than upon the briliiaa-v-u- f his dic.lwa. , M Ediley ssues Invitations to the Pub-lic to Attend the Grand Opening of HIS SEW RESORT.
