HER WORK OF LOVE.
Mrs. Clifford Returns to Labor
Among the Heather.


Among the Heather.
From the charmed social circle Of
the South to the missionary fields Of
China, leaving behind friends, home
and position in the life, Mrs. Cuthbert
Clifford has chosen to go.
This interesting character, well
known in Chicago society, spent yes
terday in ST. Paul and left on the
Northern Pacific overland train last
night for Tacoma, where, in the mid
die of the month, she will sail for
Hong Kong to resume her chosen call
ing. Born ON the "Sunnyside" planta-
ton near New Orleans, Mrs. Clifford
was brought up among her parents
friends, the prominent people Of the
South. Her father, James McCleavy,
was a prosperous planter AT the age
Of sixteen she was sent to the convent
of the Sacred Heart at Albany, N. Y.
After a year at his place, she met
Cuthbert Clifford, of Poughkeepsie. and
having fallen in love with him ran off
to Rochester in his company and the
two were married. Young Clifford had
a fortune of 100000. The young peo-
pie went to her fathers Southern home
and were warmly received. Her hus-
band was thrown from his carriage
after a few years of happy married
life, and died from his injuries.
1t was this sad event which prompt
ed Mrs. Clifford to take up mission
airy work in the far East. Her ply
stefan prescribed a long trip to cure
her of the effects of the shock of her
husbands death. Bidding her friends
goodbye she went to San Francisco,
and later crossed the ocean and went
to China. She spent a year in Shan
ghai, where she met a Presbyterian
missionary, and assisted in the work
of teaching the heather
Mrs. Clifford has spent some time
in India, mostly in Bombay and Cal
cutta, but prefers working among the
Chinese and Japanese. Finding her
way to London she again entered the
gay social world and met Sir John
Thompson, who was taking his family
and number of friends to Johannes
berg, South Africa. She has but re-

Minnesota Novelist Figures In New

Judge Mott was In an i'll temper in

Magistrate Mott looked at her for a
moment over his spectacles, and then

he leaned back in his judicial chair and
said:

READY TO co TO CUBA.
Mrs. Emily Maier VIII Start When
Transportation Comes

Mrs. Emily Maier, Of 1875 South
Wabasha street, is ready and willing
and announces her intention of going
to Cuba as a nurse for the insurgents
The only thing that prevents her start
ing for Cuba today is the fact she
has not been able to arrange for her
transportati ton. The necessary rail-
road tickets she expects in a day or so,
and as soon as these arrive she will
start for the battle fields.
Mrs. Ma1er was seen last evening at
her home on South Wabasha street and
had just returned from doing a little
detective work, at least so she said A
gang OF burglars, she said, infested the
home ward of the chief executive of

about completed her Iabors in this
direction when the Cuban nurse ques-
ton came to her attention. She drop
ped the detective role and acquainted
the police officers Of her work in the
detective line, but the West side de-
tectives, she explained had, as usual
spoiled all her efforts in the capture
of the desperadoes by bungling work.
In case the Cuban business did not
turn out all right she expected to take
up detective work again, and just went
out on the trail last evening to keep
her hand in
She had first heard of the demand
for nurses by the Cuban insurgents
through reading an advertisement in a
newspaper. She answered the "ad''
and on Jan. L received a letter from
Col. Blank, at Washington D. c., ask
ing her if she was willing to share the
hardships of camp life. The letter also
asked If she had a husband or children
who would miss her services. and re-
quested that she send her photograph
to Col. Blank. Mrs. Maier, who is
middle-aged woman, has been a widow
over twelve years and has no children
replied that she had no relatives or
connections dependent upon her for
support, and as requested forwarded
photograph of herself. She also in
formed the writer of the letter that
she would be willing to start at once
but she had no money, what little she
had saved being tied UP in one of the
suspended banks in this city. She
had up to last night received no reply
to her letter, but expects one in a day
or so. She said there was a young
woman employed as domestic in a
West ST. Paul family who had signified
a desire to accompany her to Cuba, and
it was possible that the woman might
go with her if transportation sufficient
for two arrived.
Mrs. Maier is member of the
Womens' Relief corps connected with
Acker Post G. A. r. of this city. and
has brothers living at Cedar Rapids
and Zenorsville, To-, who served in
the civil war. AS she expressed her.

be foolish with her money as she had
been, would not, in her opinion, be at
all in danger on Cuban battlefield.

If you are renting a piano, now is
your time to save money in two ways.
You can save from one hundred to

very short time, for the amount OF
rent you will pay If you keep on in that
improvident style of business. At the

JAPANESE GARDEN
Elegant Display at Emma
Hall on Saturday.
Pretty Women in kiponas--Hand
some Decorations and a
Good Play.

The attraction OF the city Saturday
afternoon and evening was the Japan
csc bazaar, held in the Queen Emma
hall grounds. The gates were opened
at O'Clock in the afternoon. and from
that time till long into the evening
there was constant flow of kinder
garten friends, sight-seers and pur-
chasers, all of whom were highly
pleased and contributed to the hand
some financial returns, which will he
expended for the education of the
children.
The grounds were tastefully decorat-
ed, double tier OF japanese lanterns
adjoining the fence about the grounds.
and festoons of bright colored bunting
giving bright holiday air to the front
of the hall and various booths. In the
maikai corner of the enclosure a large
tent had been raised where 'the play"
which was one of the principal attrac-
lions, drew an audience that filled the
tent to overlooking both afternoon and
evening. The entertainment opened
with sword dance, and was followed
by portrayal of one of the Japanese
historical legends. Although most of
the actors spoke in their native tom
gue there was enough English used to
give the foreign population the drift
of the argument" The costuming of
olden Japan was particularly interest
ing.
At different points about the grounds
were booths, decorated to represent
the four seasons. where the Japanese
women in their attractive kimonas and
some of the foreign ladies robed a la
Japan, dispensed refreshments which
varied from the sweetmeats and bev-
erages peculiar to Japan to ice cream
and red sodawater In the two large
rooms on the second floor of the hall
were quantities of Japanese goods,
from crockery and fans to beautiful
specimens of fine needlework, all for
sale and nearly all disposed of before
the close of the day. In little room
in the rear, the white residents were
initiated into the customs of the cere-
monial tea This was a most interest
ing feature of the afternoon program.
Through the kindness of Minister
Cooper the band was in attendance
during the afternoon and did its share
towards drawing the crowds and pleas
ing the ear with some old and some
new and appropriate pieces.
One of the most interested spectators
and largest purchasers was Mrs. Shin
amura, wife of Consul General Shima
mura. Her Britannia Majesty's Com
missioner, A. G.. S. Halves was also
present.
