BUREAU OF REQUIREMENTS
Woman of the New York 400 Opens
an Office,

New York, June 1s.-Another woman Of
the -Four Hundred has turned her atten-
ton to breadwinning in a striking way.
The latest and most original addition to
the ranks of trade is Mrs. Ledyard Stew
ems, who has opened a business office at
9 West Forty-second street. Mrs. Stew
ems, who is cultured and handsome, num-
bers among her relatives members of the
Astor family. Her mother was Miss
Elizabeth Winthrop ChanIer. and through
her she is a cousin to Winthrop Chanler
and to William Astor Chanler, the Afrt-
can explorer. She is also a cousin to Mrs
Henry White, whose husband is the first
secretary of the American embassy in
London, and to Mrs. Adolf Ladenburg.
Mrs Stevens has established what she
styles a bureau of social requirements.
What do I intend to do?" she said. 'T
will do every earthly thing that any one
else may have to do but do not want to
do themselves, provided that they pay my
little fee.
MY schedule. generally speaking, is:
For personal advice, $50: for personal
visit to a house or an unimportant affair,
$3.50; for personal supervision of a dinner
superintend a small dinner party or min
my travelling expenses.
Il am willing to give assistance to hos
tesses and housekeepers. and persons with
smart ideas and designs. Ia go to any
ones house and dismantle it and put it
in it's summer clothes, and then rear
range it in the fall. IN a word, what
would be tiresome and irksome to people
to do themselves I am willing to under
take"

TAX ON EGYPTIAN COTTON.
A Duty Proposed on Goods Made of
Cotton From Egypt.

Washington, June 1S-The Republi-
can members of the finance committee
of the senate have been in session en-
gagged in an effort to adjust the cot
ton schedule so as to meet the demands
of those who are asking for an increase
on cotton manufactures as compensa-
ton for the duty of 20 per cent placed
upon raw cotton.
The committee has practically decid-
ed to settle the matter for the present
by inserting a proviso at the end of the
schedule imposing an additional duty
of 10 per cent upon all nanufa ctured
articles in which Egyptian cotton en-
ters. The provisO will permit the whole
question to be taken into conference,
stricken out in case the duty on cot
ton is not accepted by the conference.

NEW BICYCLE ANLBULANCE N USE IN CHICAGO
LEPROSY IN HAWAII.
One Victim Inoculated With the Dis
ease by Vaccination.

San Francisco June 1S.-The steamer
Australia of the Oceanic line returned
from the sugar refinery yesterday, and
the Mariposa took her place. Both YES
sells bring news of the spread of leprosy
in the islands. Whites are being taken
down with the disease, and two men
We're sent to NIolokai while the Australia
was in port.
Another victim was George Breuns, a
popular young lineman in the employ of
the telephone company. How he became
inoculated is thus explained by people
who came up on the Australia:
Years ago the young Breuns were vacci-
mated. There was something wrong with
the lymph, and the operation was a fail
ure. The children next door had been
vaccinated at the same time and in their
case it was a success. Some lymph was
taken from their sores and the young
Breuns were vaccinated again with it.
Nearly all the children have reached ma
turity, and nearly all the neighbours chill
dren are now lepers. The disease has
spread to the Breuns' family. and George
is the second one of them that has been
consigned to Molokai.
A native woman is a peculiar example
of immunity from the disease. She has
had four husbands, every one of whom
became lepers and were deported, yet she
does not show a trace of the disease.
These are isolated cases that have come
to light. but they serve to show that lep-
rosy is not dying out in Hawaii.

granted that favorable action at this
special session either in the form OF
treaty ratification or legislation sus-
tanning the administration plans, Will
be impossible.
The strongest and most dangerous
opposition will come from two sources
those who are against the acquisition
of remote territory by the United States
and opposed on principle to the en-
barkation by this government upon
COLOMBIA ton schemes and second, those
who will fight annexation on the plea
that the cheap labor of the Hawaiian
islands will seriously injure our agri-
cultural interests, probably checking
the development of the beet sugar in
dustry of the middle west which gives
promise of being an important addition
to the production of the soil through
out large sections of the country.
There are many other reasons which
will be urged, including, of course, the
argument by taking on these remote
islands, the United States will no longer
find it possible to sustain its hitherto
impregnable position along the lines
of the Monroe doctrine.
President McKinley's message which
went TO the senate with the treaty,
covers this point, but 1t will, neverthe-
less, be brought in when the contest is
being discussed.

TO ERICSSON'S MEMORY.
Swedish Americans Decide to Erect a
Statue in Minneapolis

Minneapolis, June 1s.-At a meeting of
representative Swedish-American citizens
held at Orpheus hall last evening. prelim-
mary steps were taken towards the erec-
ton of a monument to the memory of
John Ericsson in this city.
Those in attendance at the meeting re-
viewed the reasons why a statue should
be erected to the memory of the Illus
trious Swede. The historical features
which have made Ericsson famous, We're
dwelt upon by the different speakers and
in particular the "cheesebox,'' which
played such an important part in the re-
bellion.
Following the expression of opinion this
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that monument should be erect
ed to the memory of John Ericsson, and
that tn neutrality-suspicious. take the in
itiative in this movement"
1t was thereupon decided that the presi-
dent and the secretary of the meeting
call the next meeting. which will arrange
for mass meeting. at which time the
project will be more thoroughly discussed.

STRATTON IN FRISCO.
The Cripple Greek Millionaire on
Pleasure Trip.

San Francisco, June 18.-W. s. Stratton,
the millionaire owner of the independence
mine and largely interested in the Port
land mine, both of Cripple Creek, is at
the Baldwin. He has come west in COM
pany with his sister. Mrs. ]. S. Cobb of
San Jose, who has until lately been Wis
iting him at his home in Colorado
Springs Mr.. Stratton has come here
very largely for pleasure and the length
of his stay is indefinite. He visited this
but did not, as he said yesterday, visit
any of the mining camps or make any IN
vestments.
It suppose Colorado suits me better for
mining that any other state" said Mr..
Stra ton. Il understand the formation
there better and the treatment of ores;
know the people and know how to go
about things. There is good deal in
that. So I have not contemplated max
ing any investments in any other part of
the country. Times are about as good in
Colorado as they are anywhere.
Cripple Greek is mining regularly
about a million dollars worth of ore per
month. That's a good deal for little
camp like that. It's only between three
and four miles square, and a new place,
so that, altogether, think it is doing
very we'll
Business in the town is rather over
done, and it is quiet there on that ac-
count. During the boom a great many
different kinds of business were started,
and now since things have settled down
to a steady basis business men are not
doing as much as formerly"

of his cOmpa MON, but as she leaned
cOnfidilgly on his arm and appeared to
be sObbing all the time he could do
nothing more than caress her now and
then and cheer her by telling her that
her mother would forgive her. 1t was
not until after the ceremony was per-
formed on the judges front porch and
they had gone to hotel that the bride
groom saw he had married the widow.
He decided at once to make the best
Of the situation and took his welded
