MRS. ANNA MEIKLEJoHN.
company now has 20 shareholders, all
of whom are employed in the factory
erected for the industry. The women
were given encouragement and every as
sistance by W. w. Collins, local mer-
chant. who rendered considerable serv-
ice in the disposal of the goods at the
start. The industry has passed through
it's experimental days and gives promise
of eventually developing into most i'm
portant one for the city. The stockhold-
ers are skilled workers in the business,
having had experience in other factories.
The capital stock was invested in sew
ing machines and special machinery for
making buttonholes, sewing on buttons
and for fancy sewing, the machinery be-
ing of the latest patterns. The power is
furnished by gasoline engine. The
only man employed in the factory is the
cutter. The young women now turn out
20 dozens of shirts daily, the product
being entirely negligee shirts, which re-
tail at from so cents to 81 each. The
outlook is that the capacity of the plant
will soon be doubled. There are orders
now ON hand which will take the entire
output of the plant for over two months
ahead. Marshall Field & Co. of Chicago
are the largest purchasers of the goods.
Difficulties were encountered, Of
course, at the start, but all have been
surmounted, and it is gratifying to note
the harmony in which the young women
work and the success they are achieving.
Their push, enterprise and executive
ability have caused much wonderment,
and it is with keen interest that Fond
du Lac people in general are watching
the development of what was in its in
ception considered a very unsafe venture.
A price scale has been established, and
the wages earned vary from 81 to 81
and $12 week, according to the skill
possessed by the operator, the work be-
ing done by the piece. Thus far there
has been balance each month above
the expenses and wages, which is turned
into the treasury to be apportioned out
in dividends. Mrs. Anna Meiklejohn,
who organized the project of the factory,
is the president of the company.

PAUIA SALT.

2 years old did the little Paula receive
any regular musical instruction. 1t was
given her first by her elder brother, and
then, after they had moved to Vienna,
by Professor Fischoff, and for the last
year by Eugen d'Albert. The latter was
so delighted with the little girls talent
when she was brought to him that he
took her to his summer place on the
Starnbergee See, near Munich. to keep
10 her lessons.
People say that the little Paula's
playing is charming, not only ON ac-
count Of her clear technic and the vigor
of her tone, astonishing from hands SO
small that they can hardly stretch an
octave, but even more from the artistic
feeling that it shows. The little girl has
the good luck to have sensible parents,
who do not force her talent or try to
make money out of her gifts. She is be-
ing carefully brought up with her BROTH
er and sister and not allowed to overex-
ert herself. She has never been taken on
any concert tour, but has made a few
single public appearances in Vienna,
Prague and BerEn.-New York Trib-
une.

Mrs. Hearst.s Benefactions.

Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst, who was a
conspicuous although silent figure on
the platform at nearly all the sessions of
the recent congress of mothers held in
Washington, has an enviable reputation
in that city not only for generosity, but
for her simple, unassuming manner.
which is as far as possible removed from
the haughtiness that is the traditional
bearing of the grande dame. Mrs. Hearst
supports several free kindergartens in
Washington in addition to her other
benefactions, and it is reported that she
gives away each year large portion of
her income. Her beautiful home is a
center of hospitality and place where
each guest is made to feel thoroughly
and happily at home. Mrs. Hearst vir-
tually keeps open house, and her guests
are at liberty to invite their friends to
meals, and in every other way to make
the house their own. To her great gen.
erosity the congress owed its existence,
as she bore its whole expense.

a . Church at The Hague.

One or two things particularly no.
ticed with the congregation. One was
their very deep and earnest attention to
the chaplain, and another the fearfully
ponderous books used by the majority.
Those of the women were certainly of
a much lighter description than those
of the men, but they all looked good,
and as though the prayerbook, hymn
book and Bible were cherished posses
sions. When the two lessons had been
read, psalm was sung, still in tia
same slow, monotonous style, and dur
ing this psalm collection was made.
This of itself was quaint and peculiar.
A number of men came round in even
ing dress, white ties and black cotton
gloves, carrying in their hands collect
ing mediums in the shape of butterfly
nets-long Sticks with a net shaped bag
at the end. These, in the neatest man.
ner possible. were propelled backward
and forward, up and down the lines of
people, who all apparently responded
to the appeal The Dutch are most char
liable, and in every town in Holland
may be seen institutions, almost pa1ar
tial in appearance, which are supported
and we'll supported-by voluntary
contributions. Collections for such are
made in the churches every Sunday

She Reads Hierog1xphics.

Mrs. James Robottom of Jersey City
is an interchangeable student of every thing
Egyptian, having made such progress in
her work that the great Psychologists of
France and Germany have written to
urge her to complete her investigations
by an extended stay in the land of the
Pyramids. Ten years ago somebody
loaned Mrs. Robottom Zone Thousand
Miles Up the Nile She read it while
convalescing from an illness, and became
SO enamored with the subject that she
has pursued it vigilantly from that day
to this. She has lectured in Jersey City
and Brooklyn several times and has been
invited to speak at Cornell. One of her
talks is about Queen Hatasee, legend
of whom adorns one side of the obelisk
in Central park. This queen was the
daughter Of one of the warrior kings of
Egypt. Mrs. Robottom reads these leg
ends easily. having long since familiar
lied herself with hieroglyphics. New

Odd Visiting Cards.

No doubt you've all heard the story
of the Indian rajah who sent big ele-
plant as a visiting card to his friend, a
neighboring rajah. Cards almost as re-
markable as this one have been manu-
featured in Germany. They are of solid
iron, although they do not look much
different from ordinary calling cards.
Several of the great manufacturers have
had iron rolled in very thin sheets and
then cut into card sizes, upon which it
was easy to print the name and business
address of the person who was to use
them. Some of the cards are only one
one-thousandth of an inch thick. Those
used by Baron Krupp, the great gun
maker, are one eight hundred and TWEEN
tieth of an inch thick.
Did any of you ever hear of odder
visiting cards?

May bs Realized When Repu biicaDs
Are Driven from Power.
Richmond Dispatch.
Secretary-of- the Treasury Gage, in
bis speech Tuesday night at the ban
Club, took an optimistic view OF the
situation He declared that the
revival of industry was near, and
that with the establishment of
revenue law sufficient to bring into
the treasury an amount adequate to
meet the reasonable needs of our
government, and with the establish
ment of our finances on a sound and
enduring basis, nothing now foreseen
could delay the recovery of past
losses, and the Inauguration of a
new forward movement along the
lines of material advancement and
social progress.
There ie no more ground for believ-
ing that the Republicans are honest
in their declarations that they intend
to give the country financial reform
than there is for believing that they
are honest in asserting that the
object of their tar IF policy is to
raise revenue. The sooner the
masses recognize that until the Re-
publican party is driven from power
they need not expect either currency
reform or tariff for revenue, as dis
tinguished from tariff for the
trusts and the monopolies, the bet
ter it will be for the country. Indeed,
not until the masses shall have
recognized this, need they hope for
a realization of Mr.. Cages dream.

Our English Cousins.

Elwyn Barron is of the opinion that
English women are mentally developing
and that Englishmen are mentally de-
teriorating. Women in the old country,
he says, are discovering that there is no
reason why they should be in moral,
physical or intellectual subordination to
man, while men have become more than
