A Woman Crosses the Pamir.


New .YorkSun. s,.,.-.,
A White woman crossed the Pamir
In Central Asia for the fret time last
summer. This plateau is distinguish
Ell as being the loftiest in the world.
1t lies from IA 900 to l6. 00s feet above
the sea. It's surface is cut up by
mountains rising to greater height
and covered with snow and glaciers
So inhospitable q region exists no
where in the same latitude. Marco
Polo was the first to cross the rarity
of the DIR, it was impossible to kindle
enough of blaze to cook his food.
The region has been regarded az
offering great difficulties even for the
hardest of travellers, but Mr.. Little
dale and his wife, crossed it, nothing
,daunted by the stories OF the hard
ships they would meet.
Crossing the plateau in midsummer
they found 1t half covered with last
winters snow and Ice. They we're
greatly impressed by the fine views
of big glaciers and snow peaks that
met their gaze everywhere. Trave-
lers have always complained of the
high winds that prevail on the Pamir.
Mr.. and Mrs. LittIedals were often
com PEELED to drive their tent pegs in
very deep and place heavy stones on
the pegs to keep the wind from blow
ing the tents down. In places they
could find absolutely no fuel, and
they had to carry firewood to cook
their meals. They started with If
teen men in their caravan, but before
they had travelled fairly across the
Panir eight of them had deserted on
accounto OF the hardships of journey,
taking refuge in the Chinese settle
ment to the eastward, Some days
their horses were continually break
ing through the snow crust, and that
made progress very difficult.
They descended from the Pamir to
the plains of the upper Indus, where
the people have very rarely seen
white people. While passing through
that country Mrs. Littledsle estab-
lished a great repu tation as q physi.
clan. A sick man bad come to her
to be healed. She thought that GER.
tain widely adver tised pills would
please the man and at the same time
do him no harm, so she gave him a
couple. The effect was marvellous,
and the fame of the cure spread
through the country. After that her
tent was besieged by poor people.
who were anxious to test the mar
velous, rem ,dies she carried with
her.

Licks 5000 Stamps an Hour.

Philadelphia Record.
The title of stamp-licker Is not the
most attractive in the world to be
stow upon a young lady, especially
when she is petite, pretty and charm
ing. But Miss Ada M. Crawforu, OF
2ll2 Wharton street, Is nevertheless q
stamp ticker, and what is more, lie
the worlds champion In her chosen
vocation. Miss Crawford, who has
lust passed her 18th birthday, is now
fore woman for the e. G. Howe Com
pany, publishers of directories, at
Eighth and Locust streets. Three
wears ago she entered the employ of
the house, and ~ once attracted AT
tentiop by the lightning rapidity
with which she addressed, sealed and
stamped envelopes.
The first time she tried stamping
envelopes she did 1900 an hour. she
can now do 5000 an hour. And has
kept this up steadily for days.
Strange to say, she has persistently
declined to use a sponge, and every
one of the millions of stamps which
have carried letters and circulars to
their destinations all over the country
has received dainty lick from her
tongue.
Miss Crawford talked entertaining
Iy of herself and her work yester.
day. "Do like the work." she re
peated In reply to question, "Indeed
do. In fact, / wouldn't do any
thing else. suppose it seems very
funny that / should prefer to use my
tongue instead of q sponge, but can
get along 80 much better. / can only
do 1000 an hour with . sponge, and
can easily do 5000 without 1t, No, IL
doesn't seem to affect my health in
the least.

IDA GREEN, THE BARONESS.

From a School i'm San Francisco to
Large Estate In Germany.
Baroness Won Barnekow, who was
known until recently as Ida Green, is
about Is yeare of age, and pupil in
the COsElo 1olitan grammar school 10
San Francisco. She was asleep one
night recently when her stepfather
called her, saying: wake up, Ida
have news FIR you"
"What's the mstter?" she asked,
sleepily.
"You have been declared to be the
real baroness and heiress to your
fathers estate"
IA II right, papa, just attend to It,"
she responded and then fell asleep
again.
The news was In a dispatch to the
effect that the case of Mrs. Katherine
Robinson and Ida Green, who had
sued for the estate Of the late Baron
Won Barnekow, has been decided In
their favor. 1t IL believed that the
estate will amount to ST. 500, 900 after
the baron's debts have been paid.
The suit was instituted In
March last, Mrs. Robinson
alleging that she had been
the wife of the baron and that Ida
Green was his daughter. The baron,
who was an officer in the German
army, became dissipated and fled to
this country about eighteen years
ago. In San Francisco he became q
hotel runner anu was known as Fred
Green. subsequently he opened a
barroom. ... .t
On the train going to San Francisco
he became acquainted with Rather
inc Galligsn, and in 1876 they were
married. A daughter was born to
them. A short time after the mar
risge his dissipation increased, and
he deserted his family. Twelve years
after the marriage the woman got q
divorce, and year later married Mr..
Robinson, d mariner.
The baron had returned 10 Germa-
ny as the heir to the estate. and had
married another woman without get
ting q divorce. He died in 1887. and
the Countess Won Moltke. his sister,
who learned some OF the facts Of his
former marriage, ASKED Consul-Gen-
eraI Edwards to obtain all the partt,
culars.
A bout q year ago Chief Of Police
Crowley, of San Francisco. found Mrs,
Robinson and Ida Green, and notified
them of the death of Baron Won Bar
nekow, or Fred Green. With the
necessary affidavits proving the mar
riage and the Identity of the baron,
the suit was Instituted. 1t 10 not the
intention of Mrs. Robinson to send
her daughter to Germany immedi

HOW IT Is DONE IN NEW DIRK.
Another prominent business man says
that ii is a fact that the merchants in New
York who do the largest business in silks.
etc, never import directly. They buy in
Europe at prices stipulating a delivery in
New York in order TO avoid all dealings
with the custOm-house.
The German or French manufacturers
have agencies in New York City, repre-
sented by some young man, aud they manip-
ulate the importing business. If anything
goes wrong, that is If, as ii does happen
sometimes, a discovery of fraud Is made.
