IN any quantity to manufacturers and
| cities throughout New York state. In
| asmuch as the company is capital
lied at S50,00O,0O0 its magnitude
and future enlargement can be
easily imagined. After this company had
perfected its arrangements, several
of the shrewdest financial agents in the
country were engaged in buying up the
land necessary for the building of the
initial plant. The site chosen for the
mammouth power house and tunnel
from the river was upon land owned by
Mrs. Latin. To the expert in land It
was worthless. but Mrs Latin had
bought it-47 acres-paYing 81, ZOO. The
company gladly paid her $4,000 for it,
and at the same time bargained for con-
siderable more land at the rate of $1,000
per acre. This is but one exam
pie of the benefit reaped by Mrs. Latin
and hundreds Of other speculations
| have been of like proportiOnate results.
Last year alone Mrs. Latin made over
100000 in real estate, guided solely by
her natural snrewness, as she has been
a widow for several years, and, save for
her attorney, TO whom she pays $1,000 a
year salary, has fought her battles Siugle-
handed. When Mrs. Laflin's fortune
began to accumulate, enviOus and I'M
scrupulous people schemed to obtain
portion of her wealth. Every means
possible was taken to get her money,
but she Invoked the aid of the law, and
fought her enemies to the bitter end,
coming out victorious in every instance.
After going out of the hotel business
five years ago, Mrs. Latin purchased a
farm of twenty-eight acres, four miles
east from the falls, on the banks of the
Niagara river. Here Mrs. Latin makes
her home. 1t is an ideal spot. The
house is built in Queen Anne style,
plain on the exterior. but roomy and
exquisite within. 1t sets back from the
river about 1000 yards, and the lawn,
which slopes gently down to the river,
is perfect paradise in summer. Thou-i
sands of roses fill the air with their
sweet perfume; flowers of every
hue and description are mingled
with them, while stately palms
and oleander trees round : up
a perfect garden spot. No prettier
picture can be imagined than the one to
be seen from the sp acious veranda-tne
bewildering beauties of the flowers, the
singing of the birds and the rushing,
swirling. seething mass of water just
beyond, as it daShes past. on to its mad
plunge over the mighty cataract. A
large conservatory is Mrs. Lafiin's
solace when winter comes, for she de-
clares that life would be cherries with
out flowers. II love to see them grow"
said the lady to a friend, "Watch the
tiny buds spring into lie, and see the
blossoms in their full beauty"
Surrounded only by faithful servants.

Black Dress Coats.
Notes and Queries.


LORD Lytton's novel "Pelham" was
written with the idea of counteracting
the affectation Of Byronism which was
then in vogue, and in this it to some
degree succeeded, though only by sub
stitutlng another affectation, that of
Pelhamism, Units place. 1t is even said
to have affected the fashion of dress,
for in it Lady Frances Pelham says. in
letter to her son: "Apropos of the
complexion. did not like that blue coat
you wore when last saw you; you look
best in black, which is Il great COM

is no hypocrite about Mrs. Latin. The
delineations round about her her mouth
seem somewhat stern, but while firm
ness IS empbatically marked, trouble
has caused its indentations, for world
oflsorrow has this noble little woman
had. Envious relatives and supposed
friends, less well off than Mrs. Latin,
have done everything despicable to
gain possession of her wealth, and with
heart almost broken she has been COM
PEELED time and again to fight her rela-
tlyes in courts to defend her property.
Mrs. Lufiin was born in Ireland sixty
two years ago of humble parentage, and
came to America when seventeen years
of age. Uneducated, but endowed by
nature with exceptional business quail
fIeatlons, she educated herself as best
she could while minding her numerous
younger brothers and sisters. Scarcely
mad she budded into wOmanhOOd when
she was married, and although her hus-
band had no competence other than the
wages earned by the sweat of his brow,
the couple by strict frugality soon had
money enough saved to start boarding
house in the interior of New York state.
At the end of ten years. during which
time Mrs. Latin had become the mother
OF three daughters and one son, snug
sum was lying in the village bank to
the credit of the thrifty family. About
this time the wonders of Niagara falls
sprung into prominence, and, feeling
cpnfident that there was golden har-
vest to be reaped, Mrs. Latin induced
her husband to move to the falls. They
opened small hotel. and Dame Fortune
smiled upon their efforts from the first.
TO quote Mrs. Laflin's own words,
Everything we touched with our hands
turned to gold"
1t was not long before the neat little
hotel became so popular that it had to
lie enlarged, Mrs. Latin, in the mean
time, having purchased the structure
for low price. After its enlargement
itwas called the Prospect Park hotel,
and today, While not the largest at the
regular visitors TO this world-famed re-
sort. Instead of placing her earn
hgs in the bank, Mrs. Latin in
vested in farm lands In and
about Niagara Falls. She bought land
that swas apparently worthless, and
many ofsthe most aStute financiers in
Niagara county shook their heads and
Fehemently declared that the woman
must surely be crazy. But little did
they Know the immense sums of money
this "worthlessn land would bring in
the near future. Along the banks of
the Niagara river Mrs. Latin bought
$4,000 worth of land that is worth at
the present time over s500,000. me
cause of this Tremendous advance in the
value of the land is the establishment OF

which gives five different images of the
same person in different positions.
This is accomplished by placing the
sitter between two mirrors placed at an
angle of forty-fiye degrees of each
other. The double reflection between
these mirrors produces four images of
the person placed in front of them, the
principle being the same as that of the
ordinary kaleidoscope. The original
face is made in profile, and the reflec-
lions give the full face. opposite profile
and two rear views. The result is
curious and interesting, and. it has been
suggested, would be useful in identify

What He Sees and Hears During Hi'
Travels.
Some people of town were inclined to
criticize the authorities yesterday because nc
clue had been secured to the party who
murdered the new born babe whose body was
found in a cess pool on West Lloyd street.
People outside the official circles can always
find some excuse for complaint because they
feel they could always do thus and 50 if they
had the power. In this case there was not
the slightest clue-that is anything upon
which an arrest can be founded. But let that
be as it may, there is very little encourage
ment for the authorities to enter into the
active prosecution of such cases, horrible as
the circumstance may seem. Let our people
look back for a space Of four or five years
and they will find that during that period
three cases of the same character were pushed
vigorously to trial, and what was the result?
The body Of a baby was found in an clubhouse
in the southern part Of town. The mother
was acquitted on the ground Of temporary
alteration of the mind. Another girl
smothered her new born child by placing it
between the mattresses Of her bed. This girl
was acquitted on the same ground and
a collection was raised in the court room for
her. In the third case the child was found
in the bushes near Columbia Park. A piece
of rag about the throat showed the child had
been strangled. The mother was located and
arrested, but she, too, was acquitted on the
same ground upon the others es- aped. 1t is
not reasonable to suppose that the prosecution
of such cases is a waste Of time and labor and
puts an unnecessary expense upon the
county? The sympathies 0, jurie5 seem to
have changed the complexion of infanticide.
