A REMARKABLE WOMAN.
Although u Centenarlan She sin Mani
ages Large Business Interests.

A Manchester Union man in the course
of his travels picked up n reminiscence
of ye olden time in tho form of n partial
history of lady born and bred upon the
rugged hillsides of the old Granite State,
who, although rounding out the last
year of n century since she first saw the
light, is noted in the section where she
now resides as a person of rare business
ability and sagacity.
Deborah Ball Powers first saw the
light of day in that portion of the town
of Hebron known as Teuny Hill, in the
year 1900. The neighborhood where she
was born was prosperous farming COM
munity in her early days, peopled mostly
by families by the names of Crosby and
Ball, and tho late DIR. Ordway, one of
the founders of the wcll-known lumber
firm OF Brown Lumber Company at
Whitefeld, was raised in that imme-
diate vicinity. But the glory of Tenny
Hill has long since departed, and not q
single resident now claims 1t as q home,
although in later years Mrs Powers has
purchased the old homestead and will
retain 1t as long rs she lives.
Years ago Mr.. Powers, together with
his family, moved to Lanslngburg, n.
Y, and engaged in the manufacture of
oil cloth Competing, that industry then
being in its infancy, and he was one Of
the first to engage in the business. just
after getting under way the entire plant
was swept away by fire, placing the fam
lily in straitened circumstances, which
were further intensified by the loss of
the husband and father, who was burned
to death. 1t was then that the remark
~ -
came into full play.
Rising equal to tho occasion, in COM
pany with her two sons, she rebuilt the
works, and resumed tho business of
making the oil cloth carpeting, and the
Same Is carri cd on to this day under the
| firm name OF ID. Powers 4 Sons.
| Tho products Of their mandatory
| have n wide reputation for excellence, a
fact due To tho personal supervision OF
this energetic lady. She is received as
one OF the leading citizens Of lansing
burg, and is always foremost in both
public and private enterprises. She, at
the present time, holds the position OF
president OF one OF the largest banking
institutions in Lansingburg, and, to-
gether with her two sons, owns a con
trolling interest in the street railway.
She was tho founder of the Old
Ladies' Homo in Lansingburg, where
she maintains ten inmates at her owr
expense.
While engaged in these works of char
ity in her adopted State, she never for
gets the home of her nativity, to which
her last visit was made when she was
ninety-four years old. At her own ex'
pense she built fence around the
Hebron Cemetery, and placed fund Of
$1,000, the income OF which is to be
used for tho purpose OF keeping the
cemetery grounds in shape. She still
retains her mental faculties to o re-
markable degree.

CAPTAIN OF CANNES.
A Dog That Would Seem to he EntItI
to CitIzenship.

Dog That Would Seem to lie Entitled
to CitIzenshiP.
Andreas Archulets lives on Los Pinos
creek, some twenty miles west of Conc
jos, Col. He owns $50 goats and four
dogs, and, like many other MeXicans, he
IS lazy. Yet he Is counted as wealthy
among his people, and he certainly
possesses skill, which he has used to
promote his laZiness His dogs are Of
the mongrel type, but their education
has made them very valuable, and An
dreaS would swear in mixed Castilian
and English If any thing serious oc-
CURED to them.
Quedac, which means Lookout" in
American vernacular, IS captain of the
dogs, and Quedao is also n dog. lie di-
reefs the other three who act as his
licutenants. Every morning Andreas
turns his $50 goats loose from his cor
raj, and Quedao and his assistants drive
them to pasture. Should the grass
| provo too short for them in one place,
| according to Quedao's Judgment, he
| socks another spot. and with his help
erS drives tho goats thithcr. If any
show a disposition to straggle, the dogs
nip their hind legs and thus hasten
| them along. II Qucdao halts $50
goats and three dogs halt also, until he
gives the command to move on. While
the herd IS feeding, two dogs Will re-
| main to watch it while the other two
| will go hunting for provisions for the
quartette. Their game, be it jack
rabbit, cottontail or other animal, is al
ways brought in whole, and at noontide
tho four four-legged goat herders have
their own picnic. AS the sun sinks in
the west behind the mountains the dogs
gather the goats and drive them back to
the corral, and they have done this work
for Andrcas day after day without losing
n goat.
1t is alleged by Mexicans in that part
of the Sunny San Luis Park that when
election day comes Andreas gives his
dogs rest from their duties as herders
and goes with them to Guadalupe, the
little plaza where he votes. Quedao and
his three companions present them
selves at the polling place, each with a
ballot in his mouth, and see to it that
the little slips go into the ballot-box.
They are all registered, and certainly
they have as much If not more intelli-
| gence than many Mexicans. Colorado
is said to he State of surprises to those
who are not familiar with 1t, and this is
no doubt true

Cure for Writer'S Cramp.

John Brown. stenographer, tells the
Globe Democrat: People often ask me
when | sit down to do long job OF
shorthand why lay before mo so
many pencils Of different sizes, My
reason for it is that by picking up pen,
ellis of different sizes. and consequently
weights ! am enabled to rest toy
hands while continuing to work Each
different pencil brings into active riay
different muscles. and | never suffer
from cramps, as might be the case II |

LONDON, Aug. 26.-It is believed that
the sentence of exile proRouncel upon
Moussa Bey by the Porte is a sham, in
tended to quiet the indignation of the
Armenians without intlicting any pun
lshmeut upon the Kurdish chief whose
atrocious persecution of the Christians
excited the horror of the civilized
world. Moussa will doubtless GO to
Mecca, as ordered. but his pilgrimage
Is not likely to result in his permanent
Punishment, for he has done too congo
NAL service to the Sultan to permit
Of his complete retirement.

Sympathy WASTED.
How street 0amIns Fooled Many Kind
Hearted Persons.

Hearted Persons.
1t Is seldom that the New York street
urchin fails to get amusement out of any
thing where he sees the chance. Some
youngsters saw an opportunity recently
in the union of tho following elements:
pair of trousers, an old jacket and
vest, n hat and some straw The straw
was put in tho other elements. and the
whole, when completed. made a very
fair specimen OF the genus tramp"
The boys carried the figure around to q
neighboring church. and placed it in q
position which was skillfuAY intended
to give the impression to paSsers-by of
a fellow-belng In agony Then they hid
to watch developments, says the New
York Times A lady and gentleman
passed the church oh look at that
poor follow, John! He seems to be i'll, "
remarked the lady The small boys
didn't say any thing. but kept their eyes
on John" John" who was n courtly
cavalier of the olden days. benevolently
went up and touched the figure, saying:
whats the matter with you, my man?'
He did not wait TO get an answer, but
left suddenly, and his. departure was
punctuated by various cat calls and
soothing remarks.
Many persons passed the figure, and
many, overcome by emotions of pity,
when up and spoke words OF kind en-
enlargement to it, pattcd ii on the
shoulder. shook it, and then went away
quickly, accompanied by cries OF Git

various other expressions of American.
ICED Anglo-SaxoE that were more or less
forcibly understood by those who heard
them.
The urchins kept it up until one Of
their number suggested carrying the
figure to the park and make soo'cide
or murder" The idea was seized. and
the poor agonized figure was hurried
from the church steps and borne of into
the surrounding darkness with a yell
that made a nervous old lady who was
standing on the street corner shiver anc
exclaimo to her aged companion
"Laudyi look at those boys a-tormcnt

beware the House Fly.

The house fly begins life fully grown.
mature and ready for business. There
are no little flies Of the same species,
the small ones occasionally observed
being different in kind from the larger
ones. The house fly does not bite nor
pierce the skin, but gathers it's food by
comb or rake, or brush-like tongue,
with which 1t is able to scrape the var
nish from covers of books, and 1t thus
tickles tho skin OF persons upon which
1t alights'to feed upon the perspiration.
Although the house fly has no sting 1t is
pest and dangerous ono at that. 1t
is by nature O scavenger, and is q vehicle
by which contagious diseases are spread.
1t poisons sores and wounds, and may
carry deadly virus from decaying OF
RRnic matter into food.
