The First Postmistress.

Chicago's lady manager at the fair is
Mrs. Chetlain, wife of General A. L.
Chetlain, who was for. four years consul
general to Belgium. Mrs Chetlain is an
eastern woman. She was born at Low
ell, Mass, and lived there long enough
to remember it as the home of her child
hood. After her marriage to General
Chetlain and her long residence abroad
Mrs. Chetlal settled in Chicago, where
she is now one of the leading women in
all matters social and educational The
Fortnightly club, of which Mrs. Potter
Palmer is an enthusiastic member, and
the Friday tlub both claim Mrs. Chef
lain in their ranks.
But besides being a club woman and
an enthusiast upon several topics Mrs.
Chetlain is and has always been an ear
nest worker. In 1862 President Lincoln
appointed Mrs. Chetlain to one of the
postoffices in the United States. She now
holds copy of the commission signed by
him. Her appointment marked new
era for women. 1t was the first time
woman had been permitted to tread upon
the territory SO long considered the prop
erty of men. Mrs Cnetlain held the office
of postmistress fer long time and only
gave it up when compelled thereto by

Spectators at the worlds fair were
considerably amused during the week
to see a family procession fitted out
most elaborately with baggage car

father of the family, led the process

shoulder and under his left arm passed
a broad leather strap. This supported
an elaborate little leather harness, in
which the baby swung as snugly as in
a cradle. and requiring as little atten-

was a middle-aged woman who APP

.Inan. the Female Pone.

One of the most curious of the media-
val legends is that which purports to
give the life history of Joan (some au-
thorities give her name as Agnes and
others as Gilberta), the 'female pope"
That such a person never existed and
that the story is fiction Invented by the
reformers in order to lower the Catholic
church in the eyes of the common peo-
pie there is not tho least doubt, yet the
narrative, from the standpoint of this
department being purveyor of curious
and out Of the way information, is very
interesting:
Joan is said to have been of English
descent, but born in Ingelheim or Mainz,
Germany. She fell in love with young
Benedictine monk named Fulda, and in
order to be near him dressed in male
attire and was admitted to the monas-
terry where her lover was clustered
Together Joan and Fulda studied both
in Athens and in Rome. and in the lat
ter place, her sex being unsupported,
Joan was made a professor. When Leo
" died, the cardinals, by general con-
sent, elected the professor" to the pom
tifical chair. Other authorities say that
she succeeded Adrian II, who died in the
year S72. Her sex is said to have been
discovered when, acting as pope, she
was leading procession to the Lateran
palace. Immediately upon discovery she
was stoned to death.-St Louis Repub-

another was IN Paterson. The oil, it was said,
had been analy2ed and was found to contain
cyanide of potassium to make the emulsion

William II. Townley, of Bank street, New

that he bought it from a Western firm which he
regarded as one of the best in the United States.
The oil was sold to Jotie in bulk and he bottled
it. What was left of the oil in the store did moi
contain cyanide OF potassium, and the sample
on Mr.. Townley's desk was dark cream in
