BY CHARLOTTE BREWSTER JORDAN | Harriet Martineau, whom Brougham called “the little deaf woman at Norwich,” did more to mold public opirion than many of her contemporaries whose writings have proved more valu- abie to posterity.

A young Unitarian mini ter, a classmate of her brother James, who freGuently spent his vacations at Norwich, greatly admired Harriet, but hesitated to ask her to marry into a state of poverty. When the Martineaus 'ost their property, however, he became en- gaged to Harriet, but the overwork at- tending the care of a large church in Manchester brought on brain fever, which »sulted in an unbalanced mind.

At the meeting of the License Commit- tee vesterday Supervisor McCarthy pre- sented n ordinance which is intended to impose a license tax upon certain special privileges that become an encroachment upon the sidewalks and streets. MecCar- thy explained that a large revenue could be obtained by such a tax. The ordinance, which will be taken up at the next meet- ing of the board, provides that owners of buildings or other structures which en- croach upon the sidewalk or street must Fay a license as follows: For those build- ngs having columns, pilasters or other architectural features that project over the sidewalks at a height less than 10 feet the sum of $1 per year for each lineal foot or fraction thereof for each obstruction so_maintained. For those who maintain sidewalk ele- vator hatchways in which no elevator is operated the sum of $1 per vear. For coal chutes or similar openings in side- Walks, including gas or water openings, the sum of $2 per year. For those who maintain steps leading from a building or into a basement $1 per vear; carriage blocks upon or close to the curb $ per year: for a rallroad signal- house or other signaling device on’ the public highway $ per year; light well, air shaft or other opening in the sidewalk where no steps are placed, $2 per foot for each opening: for a newspaper bulletin board, theatrical bill board or_any other form of sign on the sidewalk $5 per year: for projecting signs, either hanging or fixed, $2 per foot per vear; for bootblack stands $12 per year for each chair used on the stand. the applicant for the priv lege not to pay rent to the owner of the premises: for clocks over or upon the side- walk $4 per year each. | For those who maintain lamps over or | upon the sidewalk the only condition im- | osed is that the lamp must be kept burn. ng all night. Names or numbers may be painted on the lamps, but they must not destroy their value as illuminants. KILPATRICK SUGGESTED i Teachers and Pupils Testify Prin- cipal Was Punctual in Dischargse of His Duties. | The trial of Principal Kilpatrick of the | Business Evening School was resumed | vesterday morning in the rooms of the | Board of Education. Testimony favor- | able to the accused was given by several | teachers and pupils. C. H. Anker of the Spanish class testified that Kilpatrick | had advised the pupils regarding a trip | to Yosemite and had suggested to them that they could make up part of the ex penses by soliciting insurance which he would place for them. The pupils were | to have the entire management of the af- | fair and Kilpatrick was to handle none | of the finances. Miss Jean Cooke, an- other teacher, had attended several meet- ings called by the defendant in the inter- est of the Yosemite outing. Kilpatrick had never advised the pupils how to get insurance. Albert Turner, a pupil, stated that he had procured $500 worth of insur- ance, but that Kilpatrick had not placed it. Ang‘glo Byrne, Frank D. Stringham, Aibert Lyser and Marion Blanchard, teachers in the school. testified that they had never known Kilpatrick to be absent | from duty and that the insurance scheme had never been carried out. A. Lind- strom, proprietor of a bathing house. said that he had never known Kilpatrick | to he drunk in his place and he had never | conducted himself in an 'unbecoming manner in the bath house. Thomas W. Large, who was once janitor of the school, created some amusement when he testified that he had locked the outer door | on the School Board so the members could not enter the school. He said that Kilpatrick was always punctual find at- tentive to his duties. Kilpatrick was put on the stand in the evening and denied all the charges brought against him. —e e | Benefit for the Babies. | Sunshine Kindergarten and Day Nur- | sery was given a benefit in Sunshine Hall, | Harrison street, near Sixth, last nigh The object was solely charitable and de- | serving of better support than was re- ceived.

She met this afflic- tion with the same cheerful strength which characterized every trial of her life, |and immediately resolved never to ask her friends to re at an observation lest she should thus make them sharers in the irksomeness of her misfortune. Harriet Martineau made three literary ventures before she was well launched upon the stream of literary popularity down which she afterward sailed swiftly and so smoothly. When her brothér James, afterward the celebrated | Dr. Martineau, went away to college he | advised Harriet, his student comrade, to | begulle his absence with authorship. She was then but 19, and with her usual timor- of her trial article, ousness 4old no one “Female Writers in Practical Divinity which she sent anonymously to the Morthly Repository, a Unitarlan maga- zine. When the oldest son dropped in the following Sunday to read to the family the best thing that the paper had printed for a long time Harriet was covered with confusion to recognize her article as the subject of her brother's prais was so irritated that Harriet did not join in the family chorus 6f approval that she was obliged to confess having written the essay. whereupon her kindly brother, lay- ing his hand upon her shoulder, said gravely: *“Now, dear, leave it to ot women to make shirts and darn stock. ings. and do you devote yourself to this.”” A few years later the father died, worn out with business cares, and each of the family was thrown on his own resourc As Harriet was too deaf to teach she b stitching sionally She came an expert needlewoman, far into the night and oce: stretching her wings as an author. enjoyed surmounting obstacles and fre- quently referred to this period of pro- in that it re- vealed to her her capacity her powers of endurance. She frequently supplemented her needlework by writing until 2 or 3 in the morning, receiving but | £ vear for her contributions of says, book reviews, poems and_ devo- tional exercises to the Monthly Reposi- tory. Her second important literary venture was her submission of three essays to the Central Unitarian Associatic This body had offered three prizes of 19, 15 and 2 guineas each for the best essays on | the presentation of Unitarianism to Jews, Catholics and Mohammedans. Always fond of theology, Harriet determined to try for all the prizes, and accordingly took every precaution to prevent the dis covery that the three essays were by the same hand, even going so far as to have the first treatise. to which she devoted a month's time, copied by a poor school | Doy, Although there were many learned competitors, Her third notable experiment does not | read so much like a fairy tale, for there Wwere too many refusals, snubbings and hard bargainings such as assail more ordinary mortals to make the effort a de- light. These obstacles once surmounted, however, Harriet Martineau found her- self securely seated on the front benches of fame from which she could successful- Iy survey the literary turmoil of the less successful, Thenceforth she had only to choose the most congenial of the num- berless literary offers which constantly assailed her. The work which thus as sured her literary reputation was a sert of tales illustrative of the principles ¢ political economy. They were generally refused by cautious publishers, fearful of | the experiment of diffusing knowledge in | v averring tha much agitated by to con- the garb of fiction. ma the public was too the cholera and the reform bill sider any new departure, causing the |n-; defatigable author to exclaim that she The reader | for work and | farriet, to her great aston- | 1 mented, “but that cannot be heiped now. |* % %" | had now, by 3 years of age, ascertained my career, found o 1 and achieved independence one to whom th happens at age may be sati an Two years after she to recup from the pi | of writing thirty-four volumes in abe two and a half years.

She dem- onstrated her theories by bullding self- supporting workingmen's cottages and b: giving her poorer neighbors practical evi- dence of the way in which a farm of two acres may be made to pay. Meanwhile she had received an unusual offer for a_woman, viz.. that of writing “leaders” for the Daily News, a large London newspaper. For this paper alone | she wrote 1642 editorfals, by many consid- | ered the most influential part of her life | work. She so molded public opinion that | to her largely belongs the responsibility | of England's position during our late Civil War. “Harriet Martineau alone,” declared W. E. Forster. “was keeping our country straight in regard to America.” Because her books were such marvels of clearness and_ cleverness, not classic, | but the result of a trained mind gifted with instantaneous insight, and because | of the masculine order of her work. many have accused her of having a passionless Willlam 1V himself.
