Lows mother is Mrs. Frances Henshaw
Baden, a sister of Mrs. E. D. Z. n. South
worth, and herself a writer in years past
of pleasing sketches Even as a very young
girl Annie Baden was a beauty and belle,
with her lovely dark eyes and hair and the
wild rose color in her cheeks. She is slight
and not very tall, and has pleasing man
ners, which win her many friends. She
has two pretty little boys, but as they
have a devoted grandmamma and two
young aunts, Mrs. Low is able to go about
a great deal with her husband and have a
nice time.
Some of the handsomest women in Wash
ington, l think, are those with gray hair,
especially when it is premature, as it so
often is. One of these women, and for
seven or eight reasons one of the most
popular, is Mrs. Cultivate, wife of Mr..
Joseph II. Cultivate, representative from
Ohio. The soft rings of gray hair above
the expressive dark eyes, the winning
smile and sweet manner make her lovely
and very attractive woman. Mrs. Outh-
waite was born in Ohio. Her father,
jeremiah D. Peabody, banker. was a
brother of George Peabody, the distin-
guished philanthropist.
Another beautiful gray haired woman is
Mrs. Hit, wife of Representative R. r.
Hit, of Illinois, who has clear cut face,
fine dark eyes and dark, beautifully arched
brows. She has travelled a great deal; is
an accomplished and brilliant woman and
a very charming talker.
Still another is Mrs. Rebekah Black
Hornsby, who made her debut in Washing
ton society when her father, Hon. Jere S.
Black, was secretary of state toward the
close of the Buchanan administration. She
was great favorite of Miss Harriet Lanes,
and the two ladies are still firm friends
Mrs. Hornshy has neat, trim figure, good
features, curly gray hair and very engaging
manners. She is as bright and witty as
she is well favored in looks, has read and
travelled much, moved in the best society
of this and ether cities, and talks well.
She has ready pen, too and writes as

rode from Salem to Marblehead on gun
carriage, ready to fight if needed, but the
British cruisers did not venture into the
bay. 1t is pleasant to hear the testimony
of a clearheaded man of ninety, who
thinks the world is growing better, looks
on it without asperity and expresses him
self with the hopeful vivacity OF youth.
Another instance OF activity and progress
from the other end of the theological line
of battle is the Right Rev. Herbert
Vaughan, recently named by the pope as
archbishop of Westminster to succeed
Cardinal Manning. DR. Vaughan is now
the most notable of English Roman Cath
olic ecclesiastics and comes of a very an
cient and powerful family. One of his
brothers was an archbishop and another
an abbot. and he has been bishop of Sal
fora for many years. He was born at
Gloucester, April u. 1882, followed the
regular course of advancement in the
church and Is now practically the working
head Of his church in England.

DEATH BY A FALL.

Those Who Think They Know Say HIS
"a Beautiful One"
Most people regard death by fall az
one of the most agonizing forms OF dying
In lecture at Zurich, Professor Helm has
declared {says Berlin correspondent that
this opinion is erroneous. The first TACT &c
he considered, according to the professor.
is that the subjective feelings IN the va
rious kinds of fall are the same. There are
people who have escaped death by mar
breadth, who reached the stage of uncon
scjousness. and who are able TO report
what they felt.
Professor Helm, who has occupied him
self with this interesting question for many
wears. bases his observations on personal
experience and on large number or cases
which have occurred, not only in the noun
tains. but also in war, in industrial estab
lishments and in railway accidents. The
victim suffers no pain, no paralyZing tel
TOR He is perfectly aware of what is going
on. The time seems long to him. In q

sound in ones ears, and die away at last
when Inconsistencies sets in. One hears
the fall of the body, but one does not feel 1t
1t VIII be remembered that Mr.. Whym
per, who had a severe succession of falls
once in the Alps without losing his con
seriousness, declares emphatically that as
he bounded from one rock to another ht
felt absolutely no pain. The same thing
happens en- the battlefield; the entrance
of the bullet into the body is not felt, ana
IL is not till he feels the blood flowing or a
limb paralyzed that the soldier knows he
is wounded. Persons who have had several
limbs broken by fall do not know whic

activity is increased to an extraordinary
degree There is not trace of anxiety
One considers quickly what will happen, OF

sequence of presence of mind" it is rather
the product of absolute necessity. A
solemn composure takes possession of the

their lists of unpaid calls and remain to

As Mrs. Armstrong Mrs. Noah L. Jeffries
was much admired and General efries was
greatly envied when he bore the fair widow
off from all competitors, three or four
years ago. She is of good height and has
fine figure, dark auburn hair and eyes of
the same color. There are pretty little
dimples at the corners of her mouth when
she speaks or smiles. She is accomplished
and charming in conversation and enter

which she planned with artistic taste. She
introduced lovely daughter during the
season, and had also a pleasant assistant
in her aunt, Mrs. Helen Mather, author of
that delightful book "One Summer in

the reverse, and until his last year it was
not at all an assured fact that young Ma
hany would not be ''plucked." But in that
last year at the high school, and in his
subsequent career at Hobart and Harvard,
his remarkable ability was fully demon
strated and quickly recognized.
1t was while at Harvard that Mr. Ma
hany attracted the attention of Mr.. Whar
ton, assistant secretary of state of the
United States, and when he returned TO
Buffalo and became an editorial writer on
the Buffalo Express, his work was of such
a high order of merit as to draw forth un
qualified commendation from Hon. James
q. Blaine. of whom Mahany has always
been an ardent admirer. When Mr.. Egan
was appointed minister to Chill, Mahany
was offered the post of secretary of lega
ton. He declined this, preferring TO wait
for something more in line with his tastes
and ambition. The appointment as minis
ter 10 Ecuador is a great compliment to
the young Buffalonian, but it is believed
that he will acquit himself creditably, d.
he has made international law sueciai
study for several years.

The testimony Of an aged and intelligent
man on this and kindred matters cannot
fail TO be of interest. Mr.. Joseph Froth
ingham, of Exeter, n. H, a veteran OF
ninety years, has been business man most
of his life, but nearly forty years ago he
was the companion and assistant of DR..
Dyer Ball in distributing tracts and other
wise spreading the tenets Of Christianity
in Canton and adjacent sections of China
DR.. Ball went to Singapore in 1S4S, thence
to Macao in 1S41, to Hong-kong in 1913, and
in 1915 he located at Canton, where he la
bored until his death, in March, 1866. MIR

then called "bookmen" by the natives and
were often in imminent peril. Bad as the
recent outbreak in China may have been
he insists that in general there has been a
great improvement.
