HOME OF bECHETAhx BLAINE.
All but two Of the eight cabinet ministers
rent their houses here, the exceptions
being Postmaster General Wanamaker
and Secretary Tracy. The postmaster
general bought the house Of ex-Secretary
Whitney, which was the social head
quarters Of the Cleveland administration,
and it was Whitneys advice which in
duced Secretary Tracy to invest in Wash
ington real estate. Whitney made con-
siderable money here, and, AZ he and
Tracy are good friends, he urged his sue
cessor in Office to follow in his footsteps
in the matter Of home buying as we'll.
1t is not likely Mr.. Tracy will have
reason to regret his investment, as hear
he has already been offered $1,000 moro
for his I street house than he paid for it
q few months ago. Some houses in
Washington appear fated to run in the
cabinet groove. The Wanamaker home,
on ! street, was occupied by Secretary
Whitney, and before him by Secretary
Frelinghuysen, Of whom Mr.. Whitney
purchased. At least one cabinet minis
ter, and some old citizens say two, lived
In the house before Frelinghuysen. First
the homo Of a modest navy officer, the
structure has gone through a process Of
evolution, one cabinet resident adding a
wing, another story, and third ball
room addition, till it is now one of the
most commodious houses In town. Mr..
Wanamaker paid $50, 900 for the house,
and will make money ON 1t and have his
rent free if he sells it at the end of his
term of office.

ana SINCE has
preached and lectured in most OF the
large cities of the United States.
At present Mrs. Bowles is the non
resident pastor of the Universalist church
at East Gloucester, Mass, while her hus-
band has charge of the Universalist
church at Abingdon, in the same state.
In addition to her ministerial duties she
lectures in various parts of the country
under the auspices Of the Women's
Christian Temperance union, In which
organization she has charge of the dc.
partment of scientific temperance. She
is also the national lecturer of the Ameri-
can Suffrage association.
In addition to all these duties Mrs.
Bowles still finds time to be a notable
housekeeper, and is ever CHEEKY, affec.
tionate wife and mother. One Of her
family asserts that her sense Of humor
and unfailing good spirits are constant
source Of brightness in the household.
Indeed, so well ordered is her home that
among her friends and coworkers she is
known as the model housekeeper." One
of her most popular lectures is "Strong
Minded Housekeeping" which is an en-
bodiment of her own experience.
Mrs. Bowles is possessed of remarkable
mechanical dexterity and handles ham
mer and saw as cleverly as rolling pin.
She is small of stature, with strong,
magnetic face and soft curling iron gray
hair. She is 1.-THE and full of nervous
energy, and in speaking is not only en-
thusiastic and eloquent, but is clear and
logical, with an intense sincerity which
appeals to the convictions. In listening
to her one can but feel that the opinions
she utters have been light to her own
steps.
Mrs. Bowles is very popular, and is al
ways sure Of crowded auditorium
wherever she speaks. Indeed, the ad-
vice which John Wesley gave to wo-
man preacher in his day might fittingly
be given her. The counsel of the quaint
old preacher was: "Do not speak at any
place where man is preaching at the
same time, lest you draw away his
hearers" In all that she undertakes
Mrs. Bowles is prompt and incisive, and
in private life is as constant in good
works as she is able in public, in inspir.
ing others to all worthy endeavor.

CHICAGO, Nov. THE Rev. Ada c.
Bowles comes from the sturdy stock Of
New England, which gave to the repub-
lie its educational system. She was born
in Gloucester. Mass, in 1885. She
grew up with q passionate fondness for
the sea and is, as she has always been,
equally at home either in or on the
water. She is an expert swimmer, and
her undaunted courage and rare pres
ence Of mind have enabled her upon
different occasions to rescue persons
from drowning.
Nature gave her sound mind in .
sound body, and her early life among
the rocks of Cape Ann gave her the well
balanced physical development which
resulted in q perfectly healthy woman
mood. Acquiring rapidly and with ease
all that was taught in the public schools
of Gloucester, she was yet wholly unsat-
isfied with her attainments and pushed
self. At the age of Is she began to
teach in the public schools. She contin-
ued in this vocation until she was 90,
employing, meanwhile, such leisure as
she could command in study and in
writing for the press. She then married
popular clergyman, Rev. B. F. Bowles,
pastor Of the Universalist church, at
Melrose, Mass.
Although by this marriage she became
the stepmother Of three children and
later the mother of three more, she still
found time for variety Of church work,
including teaching an adult Bible class.
Her success with this class led her to
deeper theological study. under the di-
rection of her husband. Mr.. Bowles is q
man who recognizes in his wife talent
ed human being, possessed of ability if
not identical, at least equal with his
own. He desired that his wife should
be in all things his companion. and after
having given her thorough course in
theology, he encouraged her to preach
the gospel, which she had long felt called
to declare.
She began in 1860 by supplying vacant
pulpits in New England. In 1879 she
was licensed to preach, and in short
time she was called to the Universalist

romantic exactness. No novelist could
design plot in which the sensational de-
velopments would come in such artistic
order. Truth and accident have outdone
all the arts Of literary development, and
from the mysterious disappearance" to
the climax Of the trial every incident
has come just at the right time for what
the scenic artist would call "effect."
It is instructive to review the order Of
disclosures, taking the historic rather
than the epic method--that is, giving
events as they occurred and not as they
were discovered. To the public, Of
course, the first event was the disap-
pearance Of DIR. Cronin, the second the
announcement from Canada that he was
there as q fugitive, and the third the
discovery Of the body, after which fol-
lowed the arrests and production of evil
dence. But the prosecution has filled in
the gaps, and its history is briefly as
follows:
First was the reason for the murder;
then the conspiracy and selection of the
At. tools; and on Feb. 20 one Of these
rented the rooms at 1T South Clark
street. Next day the furniture was pur-
chased. March 90 the same man rented
the cottage at 1872 Ashland avenue.
Two days later the furniture arrived
there. April 26 Iceman O'Sullivan made
