BIOGRAPHICAL
The Rev. Anna Shaw, though born in England, was reared in Michigan,, and in the pioneer days. The country was wild, and she breathed in the-spirit of freedom, and is to-day as crisp as the frosts of those northern forests in which she wandered in her childhood. Her wit is as keen as the wind of the northland, and as delightful and rich as the balsamic odors borne thereon. Her logic is irresistible. Nobody puts things just as Miss Shaw does.
She was educated for the ministry—educated herself. She is a self-made woman. If any other body made her what she is, that other body might well be proud of the work. Young girls with their own destiny to-hew out should go to hear the Rev. Anna H. Shaw and take courage. She studied medicine, prepared herself to doctor body and soul, was ordained, and preached for one parish seven years ; and then she exchanged the small parish for a larger one—that is, the world for her parish, and the enfranchisement of women her Gospel.
Miss Shaw has repeatedly spoken before Congressional and Legislative committees. Whenever women have a " case in court," that is, a bill, before a legislative body, they send for Miss Shaw to speak. She is a born orator; has a magnificent voice which she never spares, but which endures-without impairment most severe usage. Few women and few men are so* well equipped for public speaking as the Rev. Anna H. Shaw.

PERSONAL TRIBUTES
Rev. Anna Shaw, of Philadelphia, is one of the ablest speakers on the platform, either among men or women. She has a well-trained mind, 0 quenchless enthusiasm, and that rarest of all qualities—pluck. Her history proves all this. No woman could have wrenched education and success from more difficult conditions. America does not contain a more loyal and devoted adherent of woman's cause. A graduate of Boston University, in both medicine and theology, Dr. Shaw brings rare qualities to her plat¬form work. Her lecture, entitled " The Fate of Republics," is one of the finest I have ever heard, both in matter and delivery. Audiences will be conciliated by her cultured manner, enlivened by her wit, and captured by her logic.                                                                     FRANCES B. WHURD.
Rev. Anna Shaw is always warmly welcomed in Chester County. She instructs while she entertains, and for wholesome and humorous influence
over her audience she has few equals.
JOSEPH S. WALTON, County Superintendent Common Schools.
She is a grand speaker on any subject you may call her. She capti¬vated our audiences both times, and will always be welcomed in our lecture course, and no course is complete without her.    To see and hear her is to
praise her.

PRESS NOTICES
A round of applause followed the completion of Rev. Anna H. Shaw's lecture on "The New Man," which was given at the Grand last night. This lecture is one of the best of this most talented woman's excellent repertoire; for, although an hour and a half was occupied by the speaker, her voice was as clear, her enunciation as distinct, and her audience as interested as at the first.—The Leader, IVilkes-Barre, Ta.
As they sat in the Opera House on Sunday and heard Rev. Dr. Anna H. Shaw, of Philadelphia, hold an audience of 2,000 people (many of them standing in the aisles), spell-bound for more than an hour, they asked them¬selves why should "women keep silence in the churches?" and believed that if the spirit of St. Paul had been listening he would have proclaimed a repeal of his famous dictum.—The Sunny South, Atlanta, Ga

With her wit and pathos and pointed logic, she may be said to have scored a victory and to have won her auditors completely.—Oregon City, Oregon.
Five thousand people waiting on the steps of the Temple Emanuel for the purpose of hearing the woman preacher's last address, does not look as though her position were uncertain. Mere curiosity does not take the same people to nineteen consecutive sessions.—San Francisco Chronicle.
Rev. Dr. Shaw is an eloquent speaker, and possesses in a large degree that personal magnetism without which a platform orator cannot be effective.—The Globe, Toronto, Canada.
Dr. Shaw is an eloquent speaker, and charms her audiences everywhere by her brilliant mental attainments and personal magnetism. She is equally charming off the platform, and has won many adherents.—The Denver Republican.
