A TUNNEL THROUGH THE TREE

It was announced a week ago that
one of the most notable trees in this
country was doomed by the march of
improvement. 1t is a huge and aged
sycamore or buttonball, standing in
the middle of the sidewalk in Stephen
street, Belleville, N. J. Records show
the tree to be at least $50 years old,
and in that time it has grown to di-
ameter of seven feet at the butt The
sycamore is invariably a most pictur-
esque tree, and this is one of the most
picturesque of sycamores.
Contractor Mccain, who is engaged
upon the task of widening and
strengthening Stephen street, decided
that the tree must be cut down, and it
really looked as if the monarch would
be overthrown, for there is little of
that sort of sentiment in Belleville
which would move to save tree.
There was one man who loved the
tree enough to go to the contractor
with the familiar words, "Woodman
spare" etc. 1t was Christian Ortholf
the barber whose shop is overshadow-
ed by the big tree He rendered the
old poem SO well that Contractor Nc
Cam promised to touch not a single
bough," but said he would have to do
something to the old trunk, and fin
ally decided to cut an arch passage
through it. This will amuse the chill
dren and satisfy their elders, as it
will probably save the big tree for
years to come. When the electric light
ing plant is completed, an incandescent
light will be put over the arch on each
side Of the tree.-Newark Call.

Considering the fact that Frederick

One Community Where the Women
Do All the Work and Make the
Laws.

A veritabIe little state, inhabited
and governed almost entirely by wo-
men, exists in the province of Smol-
ensk, in western central Russia. It is
about fifteen versts Tor ten miles,
square and contains a large number
of populous villages, and the region is
one of the most fertile in the car S
domain
In that part of Russia it is called
the ''women's kingdom" because the
male population, almost to man,
emigrates en- maSse each spring time
to Moscow and the other great cities
not far distant in search of employ
ment, for the summer season is the
busiest one in these Russian towns.
During the warm weather fairs are
held and commerce is at its height
The men are therefore enabled to find
work at such wages that they can
return to their rural homes in the
autumn with greater store of rubles
than they could have accumulated
from tilling the soil.
The women are strong and hardy,
and, being left alone, till the fields,
harvest the crops and do other work
which ordinarily belongs to masculine
huSbandmen. Some dress in short
skirts, but few of them, to secure
greater freedom of movement, put on
male attire, and the casual traveller
through the province is unable, seeing
them at work in the fields, to dis
tinSuish their sex. In large house
holds the young girls attend to the
ordinary feminine tasks of preparing
meals, sewing, buttermaking and the
like, but they are generally eager to
begin the outdoor work of their older
sisters as soon as they are able.
The most remarkable feature of this
'women's kingdom" however, is that
the government of the various villages
is entirely in the hands of the sisters,
wives and mothers of the absent men,
and remain so in many cases, even
after the men have returned. Each
town has its Gladly mayoress,' who
presides at all meetings of the village
council, whose members are likewise
women. Questions of public interest
are debated and decided upon as in
other legislative assemblies, and there
is no more jealousy and pickering
than is ordinarily the case when the
legislative body is composed of men.
Perhaps this is largely due to the fact
that the months of outdoor labor give
the women strong nerves, as we'll as
strong bodies, for among them it is
considered a disgrace to indulge in
tears or Mysteries if anything goes
amiss.
The political and financial condition
of the "women's kingdom is as
f1ourishing as that of any province in
the empire. 1t is curious fact that
in most other provinces throughout
Russia there is said to be bribery and
corruption on every hand, and a public
office is considered legitimate source
of plumber. But among these women
purity in politics" is the rule. The
female tax gatherers are never guilty
of extortion and the impostS which
the government levies are paid cheer
fully and exactly.-New York World

The week past has been rather
quiet one. The laurels have been
again gathered by the Grand. where
packed houses have ruled for the last
three or four nights. Yesterdays matt
nee was damned with a regular society
audience, such a one as only the most
popular and fashionable event could
call out. La Belle Russo steadily
gained in public favor after the open
ing night, and thourh the general
opinion was that charming and versa
tile Miss Warren was hardly fitted for
the roles of adventuresses as she is for
almost anything and everything else
in the dramatic range, yet her quiet,
intense delineation has grown on her
audiences till by yesterday they We're
ready to say that Miss Warren had
not gone down a jot in their estima-
ton. She has been suffering during
the week from a severe hoarseness,
which at one time threatened to go
into pneumonia, but she is now getting
the better of it. At the theatre. Anna
Eva Fay made no money, indeed she
probably left some behind her. There
was reason for her manager nightly
complaining utterance about Salt
Lakes skepticism. In Denver she ap-
peared twenty nights. and her last
night was the most crowded of all. At
the Lyceum the week has been fair
only, and yesterdays matinee was
good without being great.

Just then an old woman withered
and bent and crippled, who had been

demolished down the street, came
along and threw off her load for a
breathing spell. She saw the boy at
once, and we watched to see what she
would do--if poverty had d heart for

her heart of the tenderness God had
put there.

A TANGLED RELATIONSHIP.

How Judge Scott VIII BE Affected
BY General HarrisOn's Marriage.
EX-President Harrisons brother-in-
law. Judge j. N. Scott of Port Town
send, Wash, is very much bemuddled
over his double relationship to General
Harrison and Mrs. Dimmick. The sub
ject of General Harrisons approach
ing wedding was being discussed with
a party of friends when someone ask
ed Judge Scott if he would not some
what complicate and tangle UP the
limbs on the family tree. For a mo-
ment the question somewhat stunned
the gentleman, and then the party
commenced to try and solve the matri-
monial problem, and the deeper they
went into the subject the more rnysti-
fed they became. 1t was in trying to
locate the limo of his own family tree
after the wedding shall have taken
place that Judge Scott became con-
fused. After several hours of deep
mental exercise he arrived at these
conclusions: 81 am now General Har-
rison's brother-in-law. and Mrs DIM
mick, his prospective bride. is my
niece. After they are married my bro
ther-in-law will become my nephew,
and my niece, consequently will be-
come my sister-in-laW. Then, of course
L will become my own brother-in-law
ana also my nlece's brother-in-law."
The logical result of the union was
quite astonishing. The judge and
guests sat down to figure it out again,
arriving at the same conclusion. Then
someone ascertained that General Har-
rison would become his own nephew
and a cousin of his own son. should
one be born, and who will also be a
second cousin to his own brother and
his fathers nephew. At this point
the mental exercise subsidized. Judge
Scott agreeing to furnish a. palatable
beverage if his guests would keen in
violate the secret. But it leaked oIt
and has been given to the press.-Chi-
