There is pathetie story which has found its way to American shores from ghe Philippine Islands, where the pa- triots nurse the hope of freedom from he tyrannical domination of Spanish rule It is story full of romance as well as of pathcs and patriotism. In Philadel- phia, it seems, there is a brave young woman who has been instrumental in equipping a mons.rous expedition of men, arms and ammunition in this coun- try, which will be sent Ito the Philippine plenish the depleted forces of the pa driots or insurgents.
 This woman is young widow, Marina Rizal, whose husband, Dr. Hohsae Rizal. was butchered by the Spanish forces, Dec 6, 1896. She had been student at the Manila university, of which Dr. Ri- gal was president, and after graduating she was married to her former teacher who had entered the army-in the dield of battle, with only a few soldiers as witnesses. Two days after the wedding Dr. Rizal was caitured by the Spanish army. He was offered liberty and trans portatfon to America for himself and wife if he would consent to use his in fiuence for the good of Spain. This he indignantly refused flo do, and 0 few days later he was shot by the orders of the Spanish general. From that time Mrs. Rizal has lsborcd unceasingly for the cause of the patriots, and now she has succeeded in raising a large sum cf money, which has been expended in transporting men and supplies ito the Philippine Islands for the cause of free dom.
 Marina Rizal is an attractive hand some woman, only 2S years of age and Of extraordinary ability, with sllrewd- ness and capacity for managemsn mt very unusual. She comes of an influential family, and is cultivated and refined Mrs. Rzal has conduc.ed her work with so much discretion and intelligence that it is only beginning to be learned that so remarkable a woman has been send ing from Philadelph.a recruits and anns I l sire of the patrioas to compel Spain to grant the Philippine Islands the same reforms as those already conceded ,to Cuba. Japan regards these faraway islands with great partial.ty and may in the sfui.ure conl:end for their posses sion. Whatever awaits the band of faithful men who are battling for an increase of rights and privileges, wih one of the narrowest. most despotic gcv- ernmeus of l.he present time, Marina Rizai will go down in history as that of a true, loyal, plucky woman, who had the courage of her convictions and the capacity to arouse the sympat thy and aid of the people of foreign land. Mrs. Rizal will continue 10 remain in Phila- delphia for some time longer.
 
 The Chicago Times Herald says:
 In these days when most women are striving to be more or less strong minded it is refreshing to meet with one whose vocation is purely feminine Such a wo- man is Mrs. Glenn B. Lincoln of P'atts- / burg, who claims TO be the champion bread baker of Missouri. She has enough blue ribbons, medals and Ike trophies to make her claim to the honorable dis iinction very strong one. It is mat ter of serious doubt if amy other woman in the stale can show half as many tro- phies for cxcellency in the same ine. Mrs. Lincoln is the wife of well-to-do farmer. Mrs. Lincoln made her first showing of fine bread some years ago at the county fair at Liberty. She has not won her medals without compei- tion, for there arc other women In the state who know how to make excellent bread. She has been fir aus mt exhibitor fin Kansas City, where she has always won the firsiu prize. Her supply of blue ribbons is the source of much pride to her. and the people who have had the privilege of eating the bread she bakes claim it is even better than its looks. Last week Mrs. Lincoln won the first lfonors al; the fair dneld at St. Joseph. With all her honors Mrs. Lincoln is said fo be one of the most modest of women. She has three little girls who are learn ing to make bread and she expects them all to be prize winners.
