An Interesting Woman.

One of New York's many interesting
self-supporting women is Cynthia NJ.
Westover, now engaged at the Museum
of Natural History in collecting scien-
tifc data and recording descriptions of
new specimens. Miss Westover went to
New York from the west, and was one
of the most efficient of the corps of
women inspectors at the custom house.
At that time she learned French, Ger
man, Spanish and Italian by boarding a
year with a family of each of those ma
tlonalities, and this knowledge became
very valuable to her when she was
afterward engaged in the street-clean-
ing department. In addition to her
present work in the museum, she edits
a department in the Social Economist.

Secretary blaine Makes an Argument Be-
fore the senate Committee on Conn
merce.
WASHINGTON, April 29-Secretary
Blaine appeared before the senate COM
mittee on commerce yesterday and made
a strong argument in opposition to the
pending joint resolution allowing the
landing of the French cable on the
shores of Virginia and South Carolina.
The pith of his objection was that the
French Cable Co., cooperating with the
Brazilian government, had an abso-
lutte monopoly of the cable privileges
between this country and Brazil, and
that if the resolution passed, the nego-
tiations which have been in progress
for two years looking to the procure
mcnt of a concession to an American
cable company to enter Brazil would
come to naught. The secretary APP
peared to be in excellent health and
made his argument with spirit and
emphasis.

TWO GOOD WOMEN.

The Charitable ana BenevOlent WORK
They Are Doing in Europe.
Not far from the renowned st. La
zare, near Paris, a woman's prison,
lives Nine. Dumas, who, continuing the
work of Elizabeth Fry. has spent most
of her life among women prisoners, has
won them back from the downward
path to better life and even then con-
tinued to act as their guardian angel.
As witness of how well she persevered
in her task is the fact that in her eighty
second year she learned Spanish to en-
able her to make herself understood
among Andalusian prisoners.
In different but equally bad part of
Paris is a woman who is like flint
stone in whose heart a ruby is set. No
body knows her in Paris. Yet perhaps
from no place in the world are so many
silent blessings sent forth as from this
good Samaritan's walls. No sorrowful
and heavyladen person is refused en-
trance to her home Even the girl who
is seemingly lost is not shut out from
help. The peculiar thing in the minis
try of Nine. AppIa is that she collected
no money for her work in the well-to-do
circles.-Julius Post. in Chautauquan.

PHILADELPHIA'S HOLOCAUST.

The Fire and Panic In the Philadelphia
Theater Much Worse Than at First Re-
ported-At Lea 4 Six Deaths, With Others
to Probably Fellow.
PHILADELPHIA, April 29.-The de-
structioa of the Grand Central theater
by fire Wednesday night proves to have
been far more terrible in its results than
was anticipated. Six members of the
DEVILS Auction company lie dead be-
meath the fallen walls of the building
and nearly three score people are in the
hospital suffering from burns.
OF the men and boys in the hospital
seven are in such a serious condition
that their recovery is doubtful. All
were members of the audience.
Besides those who were seriously
enough hurt to remain in the hospitals
fully fifty others were treated for minor
injuries. The unfortunate members of
the company who lost their lives are:
Thomas Lorella, grotesque, and his
wife Flora, ballet dancer; Vincentina
Chitten, premier danseuse, one of the
Chitten sisters; Miss Fanchon Conyers,
Juvenile, residence Chicago; Miss Sarah
Golden. ballet dancer, residence Chi
cago; William l.. Brooks. leading man
OF the company, residence Philadelphia.
The injured in the hospitals who are
likely to die are all suffering from burns
about the face and head and from hav-
ing inhaled the flames. Their names
are: Harry McCloskey, 1G years old;
James Pigeon, IA years old; Amer
Hinchtiffe, 16 years old; Rand Patter-
son, 16 years old; Albert Cleumbacker,
10 years old; Thomas Atchison, 81 years
old: Ralph Frazer, 10 years old.
In addition to the serious condition of
the above, it is feared that many will
lose their eyesight as their burns are
all mostly about the face
By the light of day the destruction
wrought by the fire was made more APP
parent and the desolation of the sight
more terrible as it was without the ac-
companying grandeur given by the
columns of flames shooting skyward
above the tallest buildings.
In all probability a seventh victim
must be added to the list of those who
persisted in the Central theater fire
Wednesday evening. The parents of
samuel Wallace, boy of Is. yesterday
reported to the police that their son LETT
home to attend the performance which
ended so disastrously, and up to this
time has failed to return. Diligent
search has been made at all hospitals,
but no trace of the lad can be found and
it is believed his body lies buried be-
meath the ruins of the theater.
Thomas Lorella, the dead gymnast,
met his death in a heroic attempt to save
the life of his wife.
Two additional missing were reported
last night, making nine people who can
not be accounted for since the fire. The
last are George +. Thatcher, a machin-
ist, and Frederick Amphor, II years old,
of Manayunk, who left home to attend
the Central theater and has failed to
return since.

Where have broken the thread;

Truer word never was said,

Speeding loves message TO say,
Leaving the evil unspoken-
And when the curtains are drawn
Over the innocent sleeping.
Some one must linger till dawn,
Watch for the prodigal keeping.
Only the work of to-day;
No one hath guessed half its meaning;
None knows the sower, but pray
Many be blessed at the cleaning.
No one hath stayed for her fears,
None hath a helping hand Tended;
Only the sower hath tears
Over her lonely toll Bonded
Only the work of to-day;
Labor but finite and human;
Only the task of decay,
Only the work OF woman.

Upon what infinite pages
Only the work of to-day

HOW TO INOoRsE CHECKS.
First, of Course. Get Your Check, and Then
Cash 1t Immediately.

First, of Course, get Your Check, and Then
Cash 1t Immediately.
There are several ways of indorsing a
check for deposit. Some simply write
their name across the back without
specifying that the proceeds are to be
paid to anybody in particular. This is
the least desirable of any way, for
check so Endorsed passes from hand to
hand like bank note. and if it be lost
in the mail or stolen. it may be cashed
by the bank upon which it is drawn as
if the check had been originally drawn
to bearer.
Moreover. when n check is once in
dorsed in blank, that is by the payee
simply writing his name across the
back, the payment cannot be restricted
by any subsequent Endorsement.
For example, it would be useless for
the bank where the check is deposited
to indorse pay to the order of such and
such a bank" naming its out-of-town
correspondent. Such an attempt to re-
strict the payment of the check would
not amount to anything after the first
payee had indorsed in blank.
A very favorite way to indorse
check is for deposit only to the credit
Of" This is good enough as far as it
goes.
The trouble is that such an indorse-
ment transfers the title to the check to
oe followed up similar Endorsements as
1t passes from bank to bank on its way
TO its final destination, the title is trans
ferred at every stage. Now, the check
having reached the bank on which it is
drawn. it is paid, and the money starts
on the return trip.
If at any point on the way back a
bank should fail with the money in its
possession that money would so in the
general fund to be distributed pro rata
among the creditors.
But if the original holder of the check
were to indorse it in this way, collect

count, then these wordsworth operate as
notice to all concerned that the original
holder had not parted with his title to
the check, and that all subsequent hold
ers were agents for the purpose of col

and the proceeds on the way back. any
bank should fail with the proceeds in
its possession, the original holder can
follow the proceeds of his check and
compel the receiver to pay over the
amount to him in full.
It is worth while noting that checks
should be cashed promptly. This is
case in which it may truly be said that
delays are dangerous and sometimes
fatal. The bank may fail, or the
drawer may fail, or his funds may be at
tached in some legal proceeding or the
drawer may die.
Massachusetts IS probably the only
state in the union which provides by
act of legislature that bank may pay
checks for certain time after the death
of the drawer.-Journal of Commerce.

WOMEN AS ORATORS.

1t Is Chiefly the Lack Of Voice That Handi-
caps Their Success.
II is not everybody who has yet grown
up the idea that the female orator is an
essential part of the social fabric. and
yet we have her suddenly with us and
taking the prizes away from the sex
that has hitherto enjoyed a practical
monopoly of the Oratorical arts and
graces. 1t IS not worth while 20 ques-
ton the propriety Of woman's appear
ance on the platform. As matter of
fact she appeared there some time ago,
but as a speaker. hardly as an orator, IN
the proper sense. 1t has been several
years now since the sight of a woman
as a public speaker created even rip
pie of emotion. She has been presiding
over and addressing temperance meet
ings and club gatherings; she has lee
tured to public assemblies: she has
made political stump speeches; she has
even preached sermons-all without
arousing excitement or serious oppoSi-
ton. The fact is, women have ar
rived, and the people who are slow TO
adjust themselves to the situation are
at a disadvantage.
If, however, woman will address her
fellow citizens from the stage or the
stump, it is better that she should do it
acceptably. Even the most ardent
friends of advanced woman-those who
have kept her in sight in her rapid
progress toward emancipation

she whispers hoarsely when she would

came almost as excited as his Op-

and held him before he could get
around the corner of the table. They
forcibly prevented him from proceeding
further and in the confusion Mr.. Enloe
exclaimed: "You did say it." To

to free himself the commissioner shout
ed: 81 don't want to have any trouble

Mr.. Enloe renewed his struggles, but
his efforts to get away were unavailing.
The commissioner reiterated. ''The man
don't live thatI fear" and then to avoid
trouble he took up his hat and marched
ont of the room, Chairman Wheeler,
just as he was going out of the door,
calling out that there was no need for
the witness to leave as he would be
amply protected.
Judge PaysOn remarked that the wit
ness had right TO leave when he was
so treated, to which Mr.. Wheeler re-
piled that the committee had protected
and would protect the witness.
To Mr.. EnlOe Mr.. Wheeler expressed
regret at the scene, said that he could
go on the stand and cOrrecta statement
that Mr.. Enloe thought untrue and the
committee could judge between wit

that violence should be manifested in
