Mrs.: Mary A. Livermore of Boston, paid a fly. ing visit to coming withtbe from West excursion the and arriving Raymond on here Saturday morning, April 20th. On Sun day.evening April 21st, Mrs. Livermore'delivered an Easter sermon entitled' "lias the Night of Death no Morning." The subject being a suit-able one lor Lasterbunday. speaker, a woman of brilliant, oratorical power; fluent in language, she pours forth her thoughts and -- feelings seemingly without the .'least effort. In appearance she is what might appropriately be called a magnificent woman; has a splendid and physique, a clear, voice. The officers of the Utah Woman Suffrage Association had decorated the stands in the Salt Lake Assembly Hall profusely and hand' somely with flowers, in honor of the occasion; Mrs. Livermore being, as they are well aware, one of the most noted public lecturers and speakers on the American platform. The newspaper comments upon "the pen and at Long- - Range" between the paper-fighti- ng distinguished writers Ella Wheeler Wilcox and Gertrude L. Atherton israther ridiculous, and in' view of the literary --reputation of the two ladies unfortunate if not lamentable. Women of more than ordinary minds and attainments should be t he subject of personal at-- " - above - d i fieri ng on tractions. Mrs. A writes : "Ella Wheeler Wilcox is a little mouse , colored woman who needs conspicuous dress to be noticed. Her only good feature is, a sensitive mouth. She is very thin and in a dim light - looks quite young." Mrs. W. replies in defiance:- - "Had I revealed myself as freely in full dress when you called, as you re vealed . ..yourself when I called, your meager charms of body might have been abashed before my more generous ones, and my mouse-coloretints as you must know could easily become a lovely golden, by Tcalling in the .aid of a hair bleacher. The day I last saw you in the cruel light of noticed with surprise- - that your former delicate complexion looked sallow and shriveled. It gave me an absolute pang of "regret." Is it not ridiculous thus to fling at each other, in view of the sentiments advocated in their writings ? lLwou,lji.. be far more fitting to "regret'' such littleness as the sparring of these two, than the complexion or its comments alt-Lake-recently, -- bne-is-aTnagn- far-reachi- etlc well-modulat- ng ed . d the-station- er SENTIMENTS " ..Addressed to the Ladies of S.
