That the Spanish women are capable
of something besides dancing and flirt-
ing is demonstrated by recent dis
covery in Paymago, Spain. a band of
women robbers has been discovered in
a large cave on the outskirts of that
place, where they met TO plan burg
laries. That they achieved a modest
success IN this new departure is shown
by the fact that they had when dis
covered some $4,000 francs worth of
plumber, of which they had relieved
the inhabitants of Paymago and sur
rounding towns. They had done most
of their work in mems attire, casting
that off, however, in their hours of
ease and decorating themselves gor-
geously in the raiment which they had
appropriated during their periods Of
activity.

and IL was known that the opportunity
10 go abroad as the representative of
his government would be very grateful
10 him. During his long term of serv-
ice on the Supreme court bench he has
applied himself with unremitting zeal
and tireless industry to his duties. He
is by no means rich man. and with
only his moderate salary he has been
unable to enjoy the benefits of travel
ms he would like TO do. The President
and Mr.. Blaine, therefore, were very
glad OF the opportunity TO confer
upon him an appointment
that would be an honor TO

some creature comforts as well. II is
said that when the question of making
the appointments first arose, the Presi-
dent expressed desire TO have one of
the Supreme Court Justices chosen, and
the selection Of Justice Harlan instead
of one of his colleagues possesses no
significance beyond the fact that he
was a stanch Republican and person
ally friendly with the President and
Secretary Blaine.

Though while still young man he was
regarded as lawyer of unusual
ability and aptitude for his calling, it
was in the time of the Tweed trials
that his name first became familiar TO
New Workers and noted to members of
the legal profession throughout the

after completing his college course he

sented Lewiston in the Maine Legisla-

on the floor of the House as a DICTATOR.
In 1887, and again in 1890, he was
elected mayor of Lewiston. His recent
nomination for Congress was unani-

a brilliant and successful campaign.

When the pictures of the Cabinet
Daughters were printed in the Sun
day Recorder a few weeks ago, Miss
Minnie Wanamaker's was not among
them. A good portrait of this young
lady was not then at hand. An excel
lent one has since been obtained by
The Recorder, and the picture that
accompanies this brief sketch was
made from it.
Miss Wanamal1er is one of the pref

life of the Wanamalsers is such that no
amount of attention can change the
simple, dignified character of the
daughters. Miss Minnie is her moth
er's right hand in all things-in Sc
ciety, in charity or at home. She was
educated at the most thorough school
in Philadelphia and her teachers en-
couraged the development of mind
that is unusually capable. She is very
fond of historical studies and there is
little in the Wanamaler library that
she is not familiar with.
She speaks French and German as
easily as English, and is also a good
Latin scholar. In spite of all the social
life with which she is surrounded, Miss

nves clearly she may make SIS or 500
without even then being exceptionally
talented.
That the future of the chorus girl is
always hopeful has many instances in
proof, says a New York writer. Our
own divine Lillian Russell, to-day the
most extensively prima donna in
the world, began only about fifteen
years ago in the chorus, and for a sea-
son or two she was satisfied to appear
almost in chorus part at $50 a week.
The first performance that gave her any
name was at Tony Pastors theater,
where she sang sort of burlesque
Josephine in 'Pinafore.
Pauline Hall was a chorus girl as
short a time since as lsS2. Her last APP
pearance in that capacity was at what
we called the Cosmopolitan theater,
where now stands the Broadway, in a
performance of Patience. She be-
gan to attract a good deal of attention
by her unquestionable beauty, and she
had the good sense to have her voice
cultivated and fit herself for the posi-
ton of prima donna of the Casino,
which nobody thought she was fitted
for, but which she filled so satisfac-
lily and SO long,
Lilly Post was chorus girl, first in
San Francisco and subsequently in the
East. She got along very gradually
and only obtained a reputation by very
hard work. She was the best leading
| female singer that McCaun ever EN-.
ployed, and even now, in "The Child OF
Fortune, her singing meets with an
appreciation that is almost unqualified.
Another, who is now well paid-somc
consider a good deal over-paid-is
Marion Manola, who sang chorus parts
/ in England before she ever came here
at all: and another surprising example
of success is little Della Fox, who, NJ
TO three years ago, appeared in l0-cent
| opera all over the country, and whose
compensation was even barely that Of
a Metropolitan chorus singer. Dells
Fox now gets $500 week,
Marion Manola, with less talent, gets
$500. Pauline Hall heads her own or
ganization and makes great deal o.
money. Lily Post gets $3.50 or $500 {
week, and Lillian Russell's compensa
ton this season has been all the way
from 81 900 TO 81, 100 week, as she ha!
