A WOMAN ENGINEER.

Mrs. Alfred Bishop Mason is proba.
bly, the only woman in the States who
can take out locomotive. Certainly,
she is the only society woman able to
accomplish the feat. When her hus-
band was vice-president of one of the
large Florida railroads, Mrs. Mason
always went with him on his annual
trip. She had been, as girl, intense
y interested in machinery, and it was
with her Unsuitable desire to take an
engine over the road.
And she learned to do it in fine fash
ion. She began by gaining the permits
sion of the engineer to sit in the cab
with him; not doing anything but
swinging ON and familiarizing herself
with its swing and the work required
for its movement.
She says this was one of her most
thrilling moments-to be able to sit
with her face toward the wind that
almost engulfed her. peering out into
the darkness that rushed past, and be-
ing blinded by the glare of the great
fires as the furnace doors swung open
to be replenished.
Her next lesson was learned at the
whistle. Then came the bell cord, and
soon these two functions were left en-
tirely to her hands.
AS train drew up to station In
Florida. where Mrs. Mason was wait.
ing, the enigneer and fireman imme.
diately made room for her. She knew
every one by name on the different
locomotives and they all knew her.
Proud was the engineer when his cab
contained the bright wife Of the vice.
president.
Her seat on the bench near the win.
dow was known by the telegraph oper-
ator and station hands as the engine
came up, and all had pleasant greetings
for her.
So, in time, she mastered the more
difficult tasks, those that required
nerve and skill, and she could take an
engine from the Atlantic to the Gulf
Of Mexico as we'll as an old engineer.
And these latter were very proud Of
her. One of the Oldest men on the road
remarked to her once: Whenever
your husband gets out of a job, Mrs.
Mason, just come down here and we'll
| put you up in the union"

Barney Mullane, having been for
some time out of work. decided, as a
last resort. to apply to his friend
Rooney, the mason. Now Barney had
not the slightest knowledge of masonry.
but he knew that if he acknowledged
his ignorance he would continue to
want work. So he approached Mr..
Rooney with very imposing air and
asked for position.
Can yez lay brick?" asked Rooney.
"Oi can." replied Barney.
"Can yez fix the wall in that house
over there?"
''Sure. Oi can that" answered Bar
ney with an amused and knowing
smile.
"Th;n go ahead an fix it. Yell

Barney was little confused. but he
decided to brave it out. In about an
hour Roney went over to see how the
new man was progressing. He found
Barney rubbing the wall with stiff
broom.

!" What for do yez be wearin' out me

Sure, sorr. there's no other scratch

''Oi said nothin' aboot a scratcher!"

 The plans of the Beach Improvement Go , which was the cause of the special town meeting. includes the construction of boulevard along the beach from the pavilion to Ash Greek at Black Rock and the building of bridge over the creek, jetties to protect the same, wharves, etc. Most of the land along this proposed road l is owned by the Glover ard Jennings 1 families. While the evident intention of l the projectors is good, the powers given them by the charter asked for are alto- geUher too great and exclusive. The par l ties interested are the same that have al. 1 ready taken exclusive possession of the | best part of the beach and this new move 1 looks too much like an extension of the

BOUND FOR NEwTowE, CONN.

The three masted British iron ship St Mirren left her dock at the foot of Van Brunt street, Brooklyn, yesterday for Newtown, Conn. She was lifted high up out of the water, because she had no cargo or ballast, and in attempting to pass under the Brooklyn Bridge struck her fore and maintopgallant masts against the span. Two feet of each mast were taken away, and the ship came to standstill in time to save the mizzen mast from a like accident. Ske was lowed back to her dock.-[ New York Herald.
 If this big British ship persists in try ing to sail up to NeWtown, Conn.,, she will experience still more vexatious handicaps before she is safely anchored at the town. Many of the country roads leading over the hills to Newtown, Conn, are not in first class shape for ship navi- gatien, although there are times, espec. tally in the spring, when they are navi' gable for small craft, such as stone boats etc. A good fat river and harbor ap, propriation will be necessary to put these roads into ship-shape for the big vessels of the merchant marine.-[ Dan bury Dispatch.

EASTON.
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

The ladies of the Easton Baptist church will hold sociable at Staples hall, opposite the church, Wednesday evening, May l. As this is to be the last Of the season a large attendance is earnestly solicited. An interesting pro- gram is being arranged, consisting of mnsic, vocal and instrumental, recita- tions, readings and drama. Among the other attractions will be a fish pond ]; and it is expected that as the season is more advanced, that the pond will be more plentifully supplied with the finny tribe than it was on previous occasion when the ladies of the church went oa fishing expedition. Also, in addi- tiop, there will be supper for the sum of 10c, which will be A. No. l. The lad es of this church are noted for their culinary ability. We hope there will be full attendance. Come one! Come all! If stormy it will be held the first fair evening.
 It being the time appointed for the an- nual collection for home missions, Rev W. M. Weeks preached an appropriate and forcible discoure from Mark Ia, Prepare ye the way of the Lord," to a large congregation in the Baptist church, last Sunday.
