A REMARKABLE WOMAN.
How Mrs. Coston Got Her Signals
Adopted by the American Navy.
From the Illustrated American.


One of Washington's remarkable wo-
men is Mrs, Martha j. Coston, now ad-
vanced in years but brilliant in mind as
ever, and able to look back upona life full
of achievements. Mrs. COston is the
woman who, almost single-handed and in
the face OF tremendous difficulties,
brought the CostOn signals to their present
perfection Left a widow at the age of21,
with three children and no resources, she
set out bravely to develop an idea which
she found indicated among her husband S
papers. This idea was to furnish cOlored
signals at night for ships in the same way
as cOlored flags were used by day. The
trouble was to find the chemicals which
would produce the necessary Colors, red,
white, and green, in sufficient intensity
Mrs. Coston worked on the problem for
many months, and after a series of
failures finally succeeded, and the
Coston signals were adopted by
the American navy and used during
our late war. What they did during
that war is known to every naval officer,
although scant jnstice has been rendered
to the plucky woman who furnished
them. Admiral Porter took Fort
Fisher by the aid of the COston signals,
starting the battle at night, as he was
able to do by this means. His success
broke the back of the war. 1t was the

lives Of men on board the famous Monitor
lost off Cape Hatteras
1t is a pleasure to hear Mrs. COston tell
of her adventures in foreign lands, for
she has travelled all over the world and
seen the great people of many nations.
Half the countries Of Europe have
adopted the Coston signals, and when
ever she arrives in one of these capitals
Mrs Coston is treated and received as a
benelactor of humanity.
Mrs. Coston in her travels through Eu-
rope was received by the pope. by Queen
Victoria, by the French emperor and the
Empress Eugenie, by the king and queen
of Sweden, and by host of lesser celeb
rites.
Mrs. Coston will send handsome ex-
hibit of the Coston signals to Chicago
under the direction Of her son. One Of
the most striking features of this exhibit
win be the Costou aerial signals which
are shot into the air by pistols, and can
be seen at an immense distance.

! Perhaps not: but IL has been doing II
so long that it has become second nature.
1 And millionaIres have regard for mil
Honaires
Birds of feather, etc.
Doesn't il seem more appropriate that
that millionaire should rather let his
money and the advantages it brings 20
out among those less fortunate'
Yes, in our opinion, because we are of
the less fortunate class, and, logically,
the more .envious class.
But the millionaire doesn't need the
money or advantages OF any other million

Ask him.
Is millionaire happier than anybody
else3
He has more pleasure possibly.
Isn't pleasure happinessl
You can't BUY happiness with money.
Are milliOnaires noted for their
piety}
Always.
Are they so pious as that?
On the contrary.
How?
They have so little rs a rule, that the
exception is noted.
MilliOuaires are not greater sinners
than poor people, are they?
Oh, no but they have so much that is
worldly to eRgross them that they are
quite willing to delegate their unworldly
affairs to those who have more time for
such matters.
Is that why the Bible says therich man
cannot enter the kingdom of heaven
More that than that he is a wickeder
cir I,s~ 70. no gs,=
He has a chance, then?
Certainly, for he keeps up the churches
and church efforts by furnishing the
funds. while the poor furnish the spirit.
A combination of works and faith, is it
Yes; for faith without works is dead.
Is the millionaire a power in the
church}
He always has the best pew.
Isn't millionaire a power for evil il he
will}
Yes, but. he is usually built on too mar
row scale to do much evil
How is that}
IN the end he would be the greatest
sufferer, for he would be the creates
loser
Z He is good, then, through fear1
Yes, as the majority of people are.

OLDEST ACTOR IN THE WORLD
An Octogenarian Who Plays Lover in
Much Ado About Nothing.

An Octogenar1an VINO Plays Lover in

CAN'T LET THEIR HAIR GROW.
Where the Cadet Foot Ball Player,
Are at n Disadvantage.

Are mt n DISADVANTAGES.
The chrysanthemum coiffure of the foot
ball field has been given an official standing
through its opposition to regulations of the
Military Academy and the Naval Academy
providing that cadets shall keep their hair
close-cropped in military style. Next Satur-
day the West POINTERS and the "middies'
will line up at Annapolis, and army and
naval circles are considerably agitated over
the contest. The interest in the game is
shown by the fact that a special train will
take a number of prominent officials and
officers of the military and naval services
from Washington to Annapolis When the
cadet elevens at both academies began
practicing for the contest, they were seri-
ously pe-turbed because the regulations
prevented them from wearing their hair in
the approved foot ball method, and no
amount of Importantly could persuade the
powers that be to change the rules Ii has
been reported to the Navy Department that
one of the best men on the Annapolis team
has been badly injured in the head so badly
injured, in fact, that he will be unable to
play on Saturday, and il is said that the
wound would have been very slight il the
unfortunate cadet had been protected nv
chrysanthemum locks 1t is now too late
to suspend the operation of the regulation
with reference to this weeks game in order
to permit the players to acquire sufficient
hirsute protection, but an effort is being
made to induce Secretary Herbert and Sec
retary Lamont to go to Annapolis Saturday
in the hope that they will see the necessity
for allowing cadets on the elevens the priv
ileges which belong to 'rushe-s' and 'haIf
backs" in other educational institutions
The question will proba bly, be brought to
the attention of the War and Navy De-
partments before next years foot ball con-

A CENTRAL AMERICAN Union.
The Guatemalan Minister Does Not
Think Much of It's Revival.

Senior Antonio L. Arriaga, the Guate-
malan minister. does not appear. to think
much of the scheme of reviving the union
of the five republics of Central America
Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Saliva
dor and Costa Rico-under the presidency
of Barrior. He is credited with the fol-
lowing remarks on this subject:
There have been no conferences looking
to the return to the union Of the five re-
publics, as has been reported. Some years
ago a movement to restore the single gov
ernment which formerly existed over the
whole of Central America was projected
and carried forward in frequent confer
ences at the OLD Capitol building in San
Jose. The Inadequate means Of communi-
cation between the various countries of
Centra! America hindered the movement,
and it stopped Since then there has been
no resumption of negotiations that l have
heard of. Ultimately the project of consoli-
dation may be carried into effect, but not
in the immediate future"
Mr.. Arriaga, speaking of Guatemalan
affairs, said that they had been misunder-
stood in this country. THE president Of the
republic" he said, has not declared him
self dictator nor attempted to do So The
country IS at peace and the constitution
is in full force. What did occur was this:
We suffered. as did the United States,
through the enormous depreciation in the
value, of silver. The government was un-
able TO meet its foreign obligations in gold.
The president. in the interim of congress,
declared that % per cent of customs duties
should be paid IN gold. and that the inter-
est on the national debt should also be paid
in gold. The constitutional body which rep
resents the Guatemalan congress when not
in session-a body which does not exist in
the United States-thought that the presi-
dent had exceeded his powers under the
constitution, and issued a call for an extra
session of congress The minority party,
however, realized that the president had
not exceeded his constitutional powers, and
that his purpose was a patriotic one. The
result is that the scheme did not material
ize and congress will not meet unless call
ed by the president himself"

The Cigarette Must Go.

A reform is to be instituted In Interior
Department life. Bad manners to some
extent will have to go. The smoke nuis-
ance is the question of the hour, and a
fiat has gone forth that the infantiIe clerk
who infests the department with his cigar
cite is to be crushed. He will be called
upon to decide whether his smoke or ms
job is the more valuable to him. Smoking
by the official force during Office hours is
to be squelched. 1t is said that il is not
the intention of the Secretary to piacard
the walls with polite signs inscribed Please
do not smoke. 1t is simply to be hinted
that il will be more conducive to the per
manency of government employment II
the tobacco appetite is controlled The hint
is expected to be received with proper ap-
probation.

AN ANTLSNAPPER LEADER.
VIM. A. Poucher Appointed United States
District Attorney.
He Had Been Mentioned for Two OIL
ces in the Custom House ut
New York City.

The President today appointed VIM. A.
Poucher of New York to be United States
attorney for the northern district of New
York.
He is the leader of the anti-snappers of
Oswego and vicinity, and has been promi-
pently mentioned for the New York col
lectorship, and afterward was slated for the
naval office and the surveyorship of that
port successively. He stands well at the
Oswego bar. His appointment at this time
is said to be for the purpose of having him
in office before the meeting of Congress, a
decided advantage to him in the considera-
ton of his nomination. He succeeds Judge
ID. S. Alexander. formerly fifth auditor OF
the treasury, and a man of great personal
popularity in this city.
