WORK OF THE LADIES.
The Ladies' Auxiliary has been a most
efficient aid TO the home. In the spring Of
1899 the ladies' held a fair. the proceeds
from which. added to their previous con-
tributions. brought the whole amount Of
money raised by them up to $li.045. This
success led the Board Of Governors to an
nounce the establishment OF building
fund. into which all the money from the
Ladies' Auxiliary was paid. The board
also stated that the time had come for
beginning the erection Of suitable puiId-
ings as they had on hand $4,000 for the
purpose.
To the $4,000 given by the ladies' Cap
tain Babcock added the SIS 600 before men,
toned, and the Board OF Governors
pledged themselves to raise the remain
ing $500 There was on the farm given
by Captain Babcock a mansion OF brick
This was made at once available for shell
tering the orphans. That building is to
be used hereafter as "a home for adult
beneficiaries. leaving the new edifce to
serve as n home for the little ones.
President Alfred II. Courtney stated In
his report In 1894 that the usual ex-
penses Of the home had been about $50
per month. That covered the cost Of food
clothing, and care for the orphans, sala-
res Of matron and teacher. and wages
of farm manager and servants. other ne
cessary outlay brought the average
monthly expenditures up to a sum equal
TO 500 per capita per annum. Four orphan
boys have been admitted during the year
1895 so far. making the total number of
inmates eighteen. The total cost of main
tenance of the home was 1920 for the
year 1894. equal to an average of sl57.1f

, ...ll.A up means whereby they can
| spend their large incomes:
A month ago Royal Phelps Carroll, the
! young man who achieved fame two sum
mers ago by taking his yacht Navahoe
abroad and racing her against the Prince
of Waless boat. returned from a trip
TO the other side. There was nothing re-
markabe about this, as many young
swells are continually crossing the ocean,
but Mr.. Carroll electrified his friends at
the various clubs Of which he is MEM
Der when they observed the style of CT
gazette he smoked.
The cigarette was OF the fat Egyptian
kind. and its popularity was an orna-
/ mentaton In gilt on the paper wrapper.
First came the monogram of the owner.
with the letters ar. p. G." nicely en-
twined. Then came the full name
neatly printed in small Roman capitals,
and below this was the crest Of the
Carroll family. which is more authentic
than the crests of some OF the other
relgning families, as 1t was brought over
by the first of the Carols to settle in
Maryland.
WHY HIS LEAD WAS FOLLOWED.
The fact that Royal Phelps Carroll
smoked a cigarette of this kind was
abundant proof to the swell mind that
1t was strictly good form. For. during
waters. Mr.. Carroll not only shook the
hand that shook the hand of the Prince,
as was the case with George Gould, but
actually shook the hand of Wales direct.
This great distinction has placed Mr. Car
roll on pedestal Of height that the
bravest Of ordinary swells scarcely hopes
TO reach.
A single Egyptian firm enjoys a mono
poly Of making these cigarettes and it
should speedily grow rich out of the
orders iavished upon 1t. Most OF the New
York swells order their cigarettes In lots
of 5000 through a New York agent Of
the foreign firm. The cost of 1900 is $40.
or 3 20 cents each. Ordered by the hum
dred, the price is S. or cents apiece
OF course this Is a trivial sum 10 the
rich man Of to-day, but the quantity of
cigarettes consumed by the ambitious
dude is prodigious. In the first place.
when he receives the cigarettes on his
first order, he Immediately takes steps
TO astonsh his friends who are not so well
Informed as himself His valet makes
several packages of a hundred cigarettes
each. and delivers them to the chums
OF his employer as gifts In this way
the original owner enjoys the satisfaction
or knowing that cigarettes decorated with
his name. monogram, and crest, all in
costly gilt. are being smoked in many
clubs, and at the same time building up
for him the cherished reputation of being

Mrs. Olmstead possessed sufficient force OF
will to successfully resist the will OF ne:
husband, but, upon the objection OF MI:
Olnstead's counsel, Judge Bradley refused
to allow Mrs. Webb to answer the question:
She was then asked, after her counsei
had noted an exception to the courts rul-
ing if in her opinion. Mrs Olmstead was,
al the time of the making of the will, June
6, 1889, capable of resisting the importuni-
ties and suggestions of any one. That
question was also ruled out as was one as
to whether, in Mrs. Webb's opinion, her
sister was at the time able to fully recog-
nize and realize the claims of the witness.
her child and mother upon her natural
affections and bounty. The same ruling
was made by the court when Mrs. Webb 8
counsel asked her if, in her opinion, Mrs.
Olmstead was able to realize the effect OF
her wll-that is. did she realize and fully
know that in making it she was cutting of
her mother. sister and niece, leaving her
estate after Mrs. Olmstead's death, to his
relatives, instead of to her own relatives.
Adverse Ruling Again.
Again Mr. Olmstead's counsel objected,
and again the court sustained their objec-
ton, Mrs. Webbs counsel, of course, noting
an exception.
That closed Mrs. Webbs direct examina-
ton and Mr.. Jcre NJ. Wilson proceeded to
crcss-eXamine the witness.

The Girl and the Gum.

From the Philadelphia Press
Three young men from Leiperville, Q
suburb Of Chester. Pa, presented them
selves at the Chester Hospital yesterday
morning to have heavy shot taken from
various parts of their bodies. 1t appears
that the men. Shan Dougherty. James
Houghton and James Dougherty, had gone
into the orchard of the Lukens farm to
get some apples. The sixteen-year-old
daughter of the owner demanded that the
men leave the premises. but they defied
her, and continued to pick apples from the
trees.
Miss Lukens then went into the house,
and appeared with a double-barreled shot
gun, one barrel Of which she discharged at
the men, after taking careful sight. Shan
Dougherty received three of the shot in his
face. one in the side ard another in the
back; Houghton one below the ear. one in
the back and a couple In the neck. and
James Dougherty caught two of the shot in
the head, and as many more in the face.
The young lady's aim was good, and the
trespassers fed. while the girl held the
other barrel in reserve, lest they should
refuse to leave the orchard.

Ex-Secretary of State John w. Foster. ac-
ccmpanied by Mr.. John w. Thompson. ap-
peared before the excise board this morn
ing to protest against the issuance Of liquor
licenses to James D. Donnelly, who keeps
a grocery store at the corner of 14th and 1
streets, L. Rothschild, who conducts a
wholesale liquor store on the east side of
18th street between H and streets, and to
l. Ianparone, the proprietor of the Roma
restaurant.
They claimed that these places were IL
censed heretofore through mistake on
their part. They did not think that the
proximity of private school had anything
to do with the Issuance Of liquor license.
1t was shown, however, by the excise
board that these licenses were properly Is
sued. and no law had been violated. The
beard, however. received the protests and
promised to consider them in connection
with the applications for licenses.
