SHE HOLDS THE LEVER.
Miss Ida Hewitt Will Run the Frat
Worlds Pair Train.

Miss Ida Hewitt Will Kun the First
Worlds Pair Train.
Miss Ida Hewitt, of Cairo, W. Va,
said to be the only female locomotive
engineer in the world, has been engaged
by the women commissioners of the
worlds fair to run the first train over
the grounds on the opening day of the
exhibition, and win leave for Chicago
abous week before the day appointed
for the opening.
Miss Hewitt has had an extensive
wardrobe prepared for her use during
the fair, one of her unique costumes be-
ing that Of Spanish girl of the four
teenth century, which she will wear on
the engine during her first trip. She
is brunette beauty, and the costume
suits her admirably.
In reply to proposition made to
Miss Hewitt to become a member of
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers, it is reported that she replied
that while she could not find it in her
heart to become brother 10 them she
would be a sister as long as she lived
The commissioners are said to have had
a great deal of trouble inducing her to
run the engine at the fair, as she shrank
from appearing as "a sort of freak "
The road upon which Miss Hewitt
learned her business and upon which
she is now running is known as the
Cairo q Little Kanawha, and is a feed
er for the Baltimore 4 Ohio, at Cairo
from the lumber districts back in that
vicinity. II is mostly owned by the
father of the young lady, who is a mag
of prominence and wealth. The pecu-
liar employment that Miss Hewitt has
selected has not unsexed her in the
least, and she is as much at home in the
parlors Of the most cultured and fash
icnable people as she is in the cab of
her favorite engine. She is also mod
81 housewife, and is thoroughly up in
all the little details of housekeeping, at
which she occupies herself when 'off
her run. Detroit Free Press.

POULTRY MANAGEMENT.
Why 1t Pays TO Attend Carefully to Seem
Ing Trifies.


Theory is worth something, but ex-
perience must be the test of all discus
sion as to methods in the management
of poultry as in all other things The
little attentions which can hardly be
measured are In the aggregate what
count at last in the care of poultry.
A writer says there is in the culture of
poultry great difference in the plans
used by breeders when striving to ac-
complish the best they can. Though
aiming To attain the highest possible
results by different methods, tie young
beginner often fails to follow a Judi
cious course in the management and
feeding of his fowls, by following every
plan, simply by being practiced or rec
commended by some poulterers. The
inexperienced novice is too apt to think
that any kind Of care or food will do in
poultry keeping, and when cold
weather sets in he allows his fowls TO
forage for themselves anywhere and
everywhere, neglects TO provide suit
able shelter and proper food when the
season and necessities to their comfort
and well-being demand them. Care
lessness in the little details necessary
: to good management will soon show
in the condition, health and produc-
tiveness of the fowls. The more care
and attention TO their daily wants the
better their appearance and health,
and the more clearly they are kept in
well lighted and well ventilated
houses, and the more uniformly they
are fed and watered. the better returns
they will give their keepers, remem-
Der. This course Of treatment always
brings the best results, not alone in
raising poultry but any kind of domes-
tic animals. We never knew an ami
NAL TO thrive and he profitable TO its
owner If kept in half starved or neg
lected condition. Poultry demands
good food and good care to be produc-
tive, and without productivcness there
is no profit Always bear ID mind that
eggs and flesh must come from rood

The rivalry for the possession of Lue

Presbyterian mission-house on a warrant
issued by Judge Daingerfeld, has not
ended yet.

Chinese woman. Hor Shee. who. In order
to secure the prize, Lee Kun Ying. had
stated she was her mother, swore to an
affidavit that Lue Kun Ying was unlaw-
fully detained at the mission and deprived
of her liberty. On this affidavit Judge
Dangerfield granted writ of habeas cor
pus. Lue Kun Wing was under the pro-
tecting wing of Miss CulbertsOn of the
mission and surrounded Dy her new-found
friends of the Sam Yup Company, who
were in turn represented by their attor-
MES, Siearns q Elliot.
Hor Sbee and her clan were repre-
sented by Attorney l.. 1. Mowry.
'The girl" said he, was taken forcibly
from her mother and dragged through the

more prefera Bile as place to live than her
old place in the Chinese quarters. She
was we'll pleased with it and expressed a
wish to remain with Miss Culbrrtson. She
in fact was perfectly satisfied with her
imprisonment, If such it was. As she was
over IS years of age, and presumably
knew what she wanted, the court decided
she could select her abiding place to suit
herself.

end will be taken Monday.
This move is said to be only q scheme to
get Lue Kun Wing in Jail, where "a high
binder would visit her and make such
threats that through fear she will acknowl-
edge him as her husband. Then he will
carry her triumphantly into the camp of
the enemy.

DEAN OF MASONRY
Death of William DalmaS,
a Nonagenarian.
Remarkable Vigor of the Aged Vet
eran-His idiosyncracies and
independence.

William B. Dalmas, q native of Chester
Countv. Pennsylvania, where he was born
in 1897. had less than four years to live
before he could celebrate his centennial,
when the grim reaper took him on Thurs
day afternoon last.
Although past 90 years of age. Mr.. Dali
mas had the vitality which made many a
man half his age envy him. Without
sign of disease the heart stopped beating
simply because it could perform It's duties
no longer.
Mr.. Dalmas had eaten a hearty lunch on
Thursday and had sat down to read the
newspaper. as was his wont. he nad al
iusted his eyeglasses, which he had only
been using for the last three months. he
settled himself back comfortably, took up
the paper. and. without the slightest warn
ing, breathed his last.
Less than a year ago the deceased
walked out to the park every morning be-
fore breakfast and back again to his nome,
on Mission street, near Tenth
1t was one of his boasts that he never
rode on Car in the city limits. Walking
was good enough for him be would say.
Mr.. Dalmas also enjoyed the distinction
of being the Oldest Mason iD good stand
ing living in the United States, perhaps in
the world.
He was a member of Allegheny Lodge.
and when he came to California some
seventeen years ago he refused TO De
transferred, still giving his allegiance to
the lodge of his youth. On his last BIRTH
day the latter lodge sent him memorial
declaring him to be the veteran OF the
Masonic order.
The deceased'S strength was said to be
marvellous. When over 30 years old he
thought nothing of taking barrel filled
with water and thro wing it over ten-foot
fence. He was cooper by trade. and the
manner In which he handled cask was
on par with the way an ordinary man
rolls an empty barrel.
A popularity of Mr.. Dalmas was that he
would never consent TO have his picture
taken. Under no circumstance would be
enter photograph gallery.
Back in Pennsylvania he was well
known as wonderful pedestrian. Before
there was any railroad connection he
would walk from Allegheny to Philadel-
phla and return with sack of goods
weighing some seventy-fve pounds.
He was six foot two and splendidly de-
veloped. Although a temperate man, Dali
mas was far from being a teetotaier.

old age of rs. She had been an invalid
Tor i've years and he had been her constant
nurse and attendant during all that time.
himself was never sick in his life.

sides more tnan score of grandchildren.
He was SO years old when he married.
His funeral takes place to-day from the
Masonic Temple. and the Masonic rites
Will be celebrated In full form for the
veteran Mason.
One of the deceased's sons is William r.
