There a set of -patedy would
be dudes, in this city, who have a
habit of hanging around the vesti-
bules of the several churches during
service, blowing the smoke of their
foul smelling cigarettes into the doors
of the audience room, where decent
people are worshiping. A gentleman
will not do such things, others will
not be allowed to thus disturb relig-
ious worship. There are another set
of thoughtless young men and boys,
who are in the habit of throwing ball
on the streets and alleys of the city,
and have thus broken number of
lights in more than one of the church
edifibes. If you do not want an in
terview with Judge Groves you had
better quit it, boys.

Mr.. Hon was a truly estimate man
one who was greatly beloved by friends
and neighbors and who enjoyed in q
wonderful degree the confidence of all
who knew him. No more tender and
aflectionate husband or devoted father
lived in the county. He was just in
the prime of life being but 40 years OF
age and seemingly had many years Oh
usefulness before him, but GOD knows

Salaries of Housekeepers.


''The best paid women in New York
city or any other large city, said lead
ing employment bureau proprietor to
me yesterday, ''are the first class compe-
tent housekeepers. There are few wo-
men who are really competent to take
charge of households like the Wander
bi1ts, the Astors, and so on, who are
willing to undertake it The competent
woman has had a large house of her own
at some stage of her life and has lost
her fortune. She prefers to make her
living in some other way than house
keeping, because it seems to her q loss of
dignity.
''In England women are bred to the
profession of housekeepers, just as they
are taught to be cooks, housemaids, LADY,
maids and 80 on. Here housekeepers are
housekeepers by chance more than any
thing else. That is the reason why big
salaries are paid to really competent
women. know one such woman who
enjoys a salary of $3 900 a year, has her
separate table and servant to run her
errands. 1t is not infrequently that
salaries of $4,000 to $4,000 are paid

The action of 7,91S women voters of
Boston and its results show the eff
cheney of women as a factor in our mu-
nicipal politics. In an election where
the Democrats carried their mayor by
IL, 900 majority, with two-thirds of the
council and board of aldermen, not a
single person was elected a member of
the school committee who was not nomi-
mated and supported by some organized
body of women. The independent wom-
en- voters nominated eight candidates
and elected four of them, no one of whom
had the Democratic nomination.
The Public School union also nomi-
mated eight candidates and elected four.
Last, but not least, Mrs. Emily A. FL
field, the only woman nominated by any
party, received larger vote and larger
majority by 1900 than any other candi-
date, although not nominated by the
Democrats. The unparalleled fidelity of
the women voters is shown by the fact
that out of 1918 registered women over
1880 are known to have voted, with good
reasons found for the few absentees. A
prominent Republican politician said
"You ladies can account for your alb
sentees. We cannot account for ours.
"A picturesque incident was the voting
of twenty-five old ladies in Ward 8, one
after another, of ages ranging from 65 te

HOW to Save Plumber,s BINS.

Directly it begins to freeze there is a
demand ON plumbers to open frozen pipes.
1t is strange that in nineteen cases out of
twenty it is the escape pipe from the
sink, and not the supply pipe, that
freezes, although the latter is always
full of water. Why is it? Simply be-
cause pipes indoors seldom freeze and
more than half the time the escape pipe
is blocked with rubbish. The bend is
generally half full of fragments which
have been forced through the trap holes.
Then when it gets very cold the greasy
water that is poured down settles quick
ay, and the whole becomes congealed
mass, which is only frightened by at
itempts to force water through it.

soda as it will take has been dissolved

Brilliant Women Wanted.

The interest and discussion which
Mrs. John Sherwood's delightful paper
on ''The Salon and Its American Posi-
bilities' have evoked, hazards the proph-
ecy that society may take the matter
seriously in hand when the pedigree fever
has somewhat abated. Mrs. Sherwood
puts the case very clearly. American
women are equal to the task if they will
rid themselves of the groveling toys, the
selfish and sordid ambitions which now
debase them. Their wit, tact and intelli-
gence, she urges, are undisputed. More
perseverance in study and less pursuit of
gilded follies would bring them to their
birthright of brilliant intellectual leader
ship. Who will be the immortal twenty
to band together to establish ''asa1on for
the purifcation and organization OF
American society?'-Her Point of View

Mrn. Blaine ro write a Norel.

An intimate friend of Mrs. James G.
Blaine, Jr., told me yesterday that this
unfortunate young woman, who has seen
SO much trouble, was trying her hand at
authorship, and that a novel from her
may be looked for within the next two
months. Young Mrs. Blaine has had a
good education, has travelled and read a
good deal, and am told that writing
comes very easily to her. As the public
knows, the young woman's circum-
stances are not of the brightest, she be-
ing still confined to her room, and if she
makes profit of her literary venture it
will be most welcome one. At any
rate, understand she is going to try it,
and if she misses her goal it will simply
be an expenditure of time, and ''of
that" as she herself says with deep
sigh, ''I have so much, so much. Ed

How Mrs. Custer Suffers.

Mrs. Custer is one of the most widely
sought women in New York society.
Though by no means society woman,
and permanently saddened by the death
of the general, she frequently yields to
the opportunities of friends and goes
forth to become the life and soul of the
circle that she chooses to enter. Two
classes of society hold out welcoming
hands to this gifted lady; the literary
world, on account of the excellent books
that she has added to their libraries, and
the social world, because her name and
family entitle her to enter its domains.
1t is said that Mrs. Custer suffers
acutely in writing of her own and her
husbands war experiences. Each pen
stroke brings back the past as vividly as
if days, and not years, had intervened
between it and the present. After an
evening of such scenes with her dead
hero and love, Mrs. Custer retires to her
room to walk the floor till morning
light.-New York World.

Miss Margaret Elliott.

In Mr. Warren's All Souls choir there
are some distinguished singers, chief
among whom are Miss Margaret II.
Elliott, the solo soprano, and Mr.. Perry
Averill, the baritone. Miss Elliott is
already quite well known in New York
both as concert and 'ssociety" singer.
She has been in this city only year,
having recently returned from two
years course of instruction under the
famous teacher, Nine. Marchesi, and it
is to her schooling that she owes much
that is beautiful in her art. Miss Elliott
during her long stay in Paris became
very well known among the members of
the lively American colony in the worlds
capital, and often sang at the houses of
Mrs. PeI, Nine. Sulsemeyer and Miss
Fanny Reed. Her Partisan success has
followed her to New York. During the
last summer season she attracted gen.
eral attention by the beauty of her voice
and face and the artistic quality of her
work. She has won several notable tri-
umphs. She sang at all of Miss Leary's
celebrated Thursdays" first at Bar
Harbor and later on at Lenox.-New

The most expensive young ladies'

to go to it; but it is not SO very exclus-

The only thing needed for as much

that they are well provided. Last

They left Philadelphia at o'clock in
the morning and landed in Jersey City
at 8. They went directly out to the
Metropolitan museum, and spent an hour
or two examining all the treasures there.
One o'clock sharp found them in pri-
waite room at Delmonico's partaking of a
delicious little luncheon, which had been
previously ordered; little later they
were at Daly's theatre absorbedly lis
tening to Ada Rehan's last word; the
matinee over, they leisurely betook
themselves to the railway station, ate
their dinners in the dining room car of
tho train that whirled them back to
Philadelphia, and 9 o'clock found them
all tucked up in their snow white beds
dreaming of the next months holiday,

There is not the slightest foundation
for the story which has been going round
the papers that ''the queens health is
the cause of some anxiety in the inner
circles of the court" The queen is per-

afternoon since her arrival at Windsor,
even on the coldest days. It is only nat
ural that the queen should not be quite

House Plants.

Many plants taken up this fall and
potted for display indoors during winter
will show the want of skill in the gar
dener by dropping, by change of color Of
leaves, and by other signs of slowly
dying. When plants get to that stage
nothing will restore them but heroic
treatment, as none but gardener can
restore them, and as gardeners do not
hang around our houses, to be at hand
in such emergencies, and as the plants
will die at any rate, we will give treat
ment which will save them if they have
not gone too far.
Heat water up to about 110 degrees,
and with it water the plants as usual;
next day use water up to 1875 degrees,
next day up to $50 degrees; pursue this
five or six days and fine growth will
result. The rationale is that the hot
water expands the sap and sap channels
and thus forces the sluggish sap into
vigorous circulation, and when that is
established the plant only requires
common attention.-Germanto Tele-
