was Mrs. Helene Walton, whose chief
sphere of operations was on the ground
floor of the exhibition building. Her
duty there was to look after the whr-
ring dynamos and powerful engines,
oil Of which she thoroughly under
stands, being a practical engineer and
mechanic of the highest grade. With
put her the thousands of electric lights
could not shine, nor would the many
models run.
Mrs. Walton kept an eye on the
gauges and not thing in the room es-
capped her attention. The men obeyed
her orders with pleasure, and the
throbbing engines and dynam0s sent
pulses of power through the great
building. II don't exactly need the
men," said Mrs. Walton to a visitor,
"but the management thought it would
be better to have them around in case
steam pipe should break or some
thing get out of order. l always did
like to be around boilers and engines.
l met my husband in an engine-room
and that decided my future. He is an
engineer and l cling to the work for
the love of machinery. l wouldn't be
q typewriter or a clerk in any store.
Women can do any work that men
can, and they're going to monopolize
all occupations. In few years there
won't be anything for men to do but
wash Dishes"

Methodist minister, who at the outset
led the bsllotins for bishops at the
Cleveland general conference, was
born of slave pafentgAt New Orleans
in 1864. His intedse religious nature
manifested itself at the early age Of
16, when he became converted. Young
Bowen, started out to get a good edu-
cation and succeeded. He entered the
University Of New Orleans and left 1t
with the degree Of A. B. Passing
through Boston University, he was a

CHEATING THE TREASURY.

Attempts Are Frequently Made, but
They Are Rarely Successful.
Frauds on the redemption division of
the treasury are constantly being tried.
What are called drawer scraps" are
presented almost every day with de-
mands for new money In exchange.
These are the torn-off fragments OF
notes which are found In tills and
cash drawers. A young man employed
boxful of them, claiming $500. They
were the result of many sweepings
carefully accumulated. Unfortunately
they represented 1000 or more, If any
thing, and the youth was lucky to es-
cape prison. An Ohio woman not long
ago mailed to the treasury a number Of
rolled-up pellets Of paper, which she
said represented a IS note torn up by
a child. The pellets were Strengthened
out and found to be thirteen center
strips cut lengthwise from as many So
bills. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that the woman got nothing In return.
People seem to think that Uncle Sam
redemption division does get cheated
now and then, undoubtedly.
Late in the year 1892 1t was discover
ed in the redemption division that the
full number of $500 notes of the series
Of 1874 had been redeemed. Neverthe-
less, notes of this series were still COM
ing In for redemption. At first 1t was
thought that there had been an over
issue by some strange mistake. Ac-
cordingly all of these notes from that
time on were withheld from the GUS
tomary destruction, and their numbers
were registered for the purpose Of
seeing II duplicates would appear. But
no duplicates did appear and 1t is now
believed that the trouble arose from nm
error on the part Of the officials ap-

at one time. In fact, its cavity has
been used as chapel. 1t was cast as
long ago as 1870, and the great gap
in Its side was made soon after the
mass Of metal cooled. This fracture
was due to a flaw made, 1t Is believed,
by the jewelry, coin and precious metal
thrown into the liquid by the ladies
of the city. The piece which fell out
weighed eleven tons, and this accident
practically ruined the work. Through

Midget Frances Donnel1y, the SMALL

Just mite of humanity is Frances
Donnelly, of 722 Columbus avenue,
New York. She Is remarkable baby
and has puzzled doctors and nurses.
When born she weighed a trife more
than a pound, and now, when she is
three months old, she only weighs five
and half pounds. The doctors, when
the tiny child was born, said she could
not live, and so did the nurses, but
little Miss Donnelly has upset their
predictions. 1as
The Donnelly baby is, perhaps, the
smallest one that was ever born. Her

ear. Her mouth is just distinguishable
