Miss Colfax has had charge Of
Michigan City Lighthouse for abb z.
thirty-ive years. says the New York
Journal. She was q cousin Of the late
Vice-President Colfax. Her assistant is
Miss Ann Hartwell. who is also her
dear friend. Mrs. Theodosia B. Shep-
herd Of southern California conducts q
wholesale and retail business in bulbs,
seeds and plants. She also grows rare
and valuable plants and has brought
out several new blossoms. She has very
large greenhouses. Miss Alice Farley is
the proprietor Of large cotton planta-
ton In Louisiana. The estate came to
her by inheritance, and as her health
was never good at home she decided to
leave New York and try plantation life.
She has met with success, not only
physically but also financially. Women
are teaching the amazed old world
whole lot Of lessons nowadays.
Wholesome lessons they are, too, for
the most part. Lessons in pluck and
thrift and independence and matter-of-
TACT courage. When a woman is left

she goes to work-and well, just read
this list of women who have answered
the question of "How to eat three
meals day and pay for them" Mrs.
Hill OF southern California is most
successful ranch owner. When she was
LETT widow she had three little chill
dren and small ranch, which was COW
cred with mortgage OF 81, 400. She first
took boarders; then, when she could
AFFORD the time and money, she raised
chickens for market. This was fol-
lowed by working the ranch in gen.
eral way. When the debt was paid off
she added to her possessions, until now
her ranch includes 400 acres. Two hun
dred acres she plants now with py-
rethrum. The blossom of this plant is
dried and ground into powder used to
kill insects. The water-mill, where
the grinding is done, Mrs. Hill built.
Upon the rest of her ranch she grows
flowers and fruits and nuts. She en-
ploys nearly 100 workers, including
men, women and children. Her chill
dren are highly educated. Mrs. Hills
property is valued at more than $780,
900. Mrs. Pollock of Pittston, Pa,
mends shoes. Her husband was cob
bier and she frequently assisted him
through rush. When she was left
dependent upon her own resources she
,bravely picked up the last and awl and
continued her husbands business. This
new departures woman cobbler-cre-
ated much CONSERVATION in the neigh
borhood. This dismay resulted in a de-
cided decrease in patronage. But Mrs.
Pollock knew the way to woman's
heart and offered to mend shoes at bar
gain rates. When she cut down the
rates fixed by her husband the women
ventured to try her. She turned out
such good work and the orders were
SO promptly filled at the low prices
that she soon had large trade. She
now employs a man to assist her, and
earns from $40 to s25 week.

saying he was the representative OF the DR..
Williams Medicine Co, and arranged Tor
the making Of full set Of plates Tor thSdi-
rection sheets, tables, etc, Of the famous
Pr; Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
News Of this reachedthe home office, and
no time was lost'in arranging for his arrest
when he should return for the plates. He
returned on the 10Th and wis accordingly
arrested and is, now in jail in Syracuse
awaiting examination. 3.
This arrest proves TO be an important one.
In addition TO various fplunder, such as
medical books. typewrfters,, rugs, ETC.,
found IN Marquisee's trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; and in
search of his apartments at Utica found
a complete outfit for counterfeiting con-
slstlng Of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
bismuth, antimony,. g small blacksmith
forge, a charcoal furnace, and several
marshals want him just as soon as the DR..
Williams Medicine Co. are through with
him, and, no doubt, he will be sentenced
for long period.
In selecting Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations, he showed
his knowledge Of the proprietary medical
business; for these pills are in such great
demand that they are easily sold at any
drug store in the United States. His scheme
was to work the country druggists and sell
his limitations at discount Of from 2 per
cent to per cent, explaining the reduced
price by the fact that he had picked them
up in small lots and at q discount from
dealers who were over-stocked. By work
ing fast and making long jumps, he would
have secured many hundreds Of dollars in
short time. The proprietors Of Dr. Will
have caught the rogue, before he had fair
ly started, and to have thus kept these
spurious goods out Of the market.

AT WASHINGTON.
Thanksgiving Day Quietly Observed.
A Few Clerks Worked at the White
House.

Washington, November 25.-Presi-
dent Mckinley attended Thanksgiving
services at the Metropolitan Methodist
Church to-day. He was accompanied to
the church by brother Abner, Mrs.
Smith and Miss Barber. Mrs. McEin-
lev and Mrs. Abner Mckinley were out
driving for short time during the day,
as Mrs. Mckinley was not feeling well
enough to remain at church during the
services.
The White House was unusually
quiet, it being very much like Sun
day. Some of the executive clerks
were in the offices attending to the
mails and correspondence which was
pressing, but none staid all day and all
were given an opportunity to enjoy a
part Of the holiday. The President also
looked over some of the important work
he had on hand. There were few Wis
itors during the day and those who
called came by appointment The office
seekers were conspicuous by their abb
sence
The Presidents Thanksgiving dinner
hour was at the usual dining hour at
the White House, 7:30 o'clock.

IN CHRIST'S TIME.
The Services Which Opened the Meth

Have Been Used.

Pittsburg, Pa, November 25.-The
Methodist Episcopal Congress opened
this morning with religious service,
supposed to have been used in the Syn
agogue in the time of Christ. The
service, which was deeply interesting,
was conducted by Dean Marcus Buell.,
of Boston University. After the re-
ligious services were concluded the
regular programme was carried out.
1t consisted of the following papers:
John Wesley in 1925, a forelook,"
Fletcher Duren, A. NJ. Lawrenceville

AN APPROPRIATE ENTERPRISE.

American Millionaires Propose to Exhibit
McKinley's Statue in Solid Gold at Paris.
New York, November 25.-Ada Re-
han in silver is to be outshone by Will
liam Mckinley in gold, according to the
Herald of to-day. This will be the most
costly lump of precious metal the people
of the modern world have ever seen.
So says E. D. Highly, of Chicago who
has been retained by Western million
aires to furnish such a statue for exhl-
bition atsthe Paris Exposition in 1900.
Mr.. Higby was in the city yesterday,
on his way to Washington to get the
consent of President Mckinley " pose
for the figure.
"You know" said Mr.. Highly, that
designed and built the Montana statue,
at the Worlds Fair, for which Miss
Rehan posed. l suppose it was because
of my experience that l have been re-
tanned to build this statue, which, with
the base, will contain bullion to the
value of s1,O5O ,OOO."

From Staff Correspondent.
Parsons, W. Va, November 25.-The
work Of filling the panel of jurors in
the Eastman case proceeds very slow
ly. At the morning session Of court,
one more talesman was accepted, and
several were challenged. Judge Holt
reserves his decision upon the chal-
lenges until the entire forty-five have
been Intercepted. He may decide that
several of the number are competent
jurors, in which event it is likely that
the panel will be complete when court
adjourns Friday.
The proceedings have been marked
by constant wrangling among opposing
counsel. This fact led Judge Holt to
announce certain rules to govern the
examination of talesmen.
There appears to be strong feeling
underlying the division of sentiment in
the county with regard to the prisoner,
and this has probably led to the vol
untary furnishing of information to at
torneys on the respective sides
CONCERNING THE MEN
who have been summoned as jurors.
In no other way could counsel have
come into possession of facts which
form the basis for a remarkable line
of questions frequently suggesting IT.
Irregularities and limiting at fraud.
A very unusual feature of the ex-
animation thus far has been
THE APPARENT WILLINGNESS,
amounting in some instances to eager
ness, to serve upon the jury. Some
account for this fact by the statement
that the talesmen can make more mon
ey by. serving on the jury than at their
several trades and occupations, an ex-
PLANTATION which carries little weight
with many who have watched the pro-
ceedings.
There is no abatement in the inter-
est manifested. Standing room was at
a premium in the court room to-day.
Daniel Moore and G. T. Schoonover,
after being subjected to a searching
cross-examination by Mr.. Howard, were
challenged by the State. John w.
Cooper was accepted without being in
terrogated by either side.
The State attempted to prove that j.
]. Long had been tempered with by a
local physician. Long admitted that
he and another juror had been invited
to a room in the Occidental Hotel and
had been invited to drink of whisky,
but testified that the subject Of the trial
had only been mentioned, to be dis
missed when the men said they had
been summoned as jurors. Long was
challenged.
In the afternoon large number OF
TALEsMEN WERE QUESTIONED.
Alton Will, w. A. Feeley and H. E.
Galley had opinions which the evidence
might not change. Michael Myers was
ere of the grand jury which sat upon
the case. Isaac Murphy was satisfac-
tory to the defense but was challenged
by the State.

Madrid, November 25.-The tariff
clause in the proposed scheme OF au-

commission of Cunbans and Spaniards
to fix the tariffs The rates so fixed
are to be adopted by the Cuban
Chamber of Deputies and then approved
by the Spanish Cortes before they are
effective. Should. the commission come
to a deadlock, the Cortes is to be the ar

Prime Minister Sagasta has received
over one hundred dispatches asking that

The government was determined to
carry out what it determined a patriotic
work.
The ministry of the colonies will be
