Armstrong and Mrs. Lowndes are two of the most notable women here The former is corresponding secretary of the Womans Missionary Union. Personally she Is won- derfully attractive and her magnetic per- sonality is never more potent than when she is addressing the women's meetings. Her voice is clear, sweet and sympathetic. She dresses very quietly, and Is with all so gentle and thoroughly unaffected that her great work goes on without any esten- tation. Mrs Lowndes, the treasurer of the Woman's Missionary Union, Is one of the most popular women present at the various gatherings. She is very charming and IS always a central figure in the assemblages. Miss Fannie E. s. Heck, the president, Is a woman who ranks among the brainiest women of the south. She presides with great dignity and grace. She Is master of parliamentary laws, and the work of the various committees is reported and acted upon with great expediency.
 Some of the Noted Women
 Mrs. J. S. Dill. of Richmond. va.. former 1y of Alabama, is one of the noted women in the various sessions. She is the daugh- ter of Dr. Tichenor, of Atlanta, and IS wei known throughout the south. She IS re- garded among the beautiful women of Vir- ginia She gave at one of the sessions an interesting paper on the work of the for eign board. This paper was proceeded py an exceedingly interesting talk by Mrs. b. D. Grey, of Birmingham.
 Among other interesting visitors to Nor folk is Miss Marie Buhlmaier of Baltimore She is lending her energies and lending her sweet influences to work among emigrants. She is commissioned ythe home board Of the Southern Baptist convention. Her life is one of sacrifice to her noble work. She came to America when she was child Her pathway was fiower-laden, but she has lived her life bravely, and is today one of the foremost workers for the cause of hu- manity She meets every steamer that lands at emigrant pier in Baltimore. There she sees hundreds of women and children of every nationalty-Polish, Hungarian, Bohemian. There are many of them the most ignorant and helpless people on the face of the earth. They find themselves in America, friendless homeless, and fre- quently without the hope of getting food for days. There at the pier the benches are crowded with this ignorant foreign ele- ment with no knowledge of the English tongue and awed by American officials. In

The Wonderful Patent
 Of a Young Artist

There is a young painter, Miss Fanny c. Grothgean. who has invented small piece of machinery which, when used, will hence- forth insure the safety of the occupants of vehicle with runaway horse. Miss Grothgean is of German extraction, but was born in this country. She has suc- ceeded in her profession. She studied art several years In Paris and several of her pictures were exhibited at the Champs Mars. and at the salon de Champs Elysees. She is 6 delicate. refined looking girl, and has just recovered from the results of an accident which occurred in Idaho with a run-away horse As Miss Grothjean was ralIying from the effects of the accident she claims that the mechanical device she has patented was presented to her mind in . supernatural way. and that she Is not re- eponsihe for 1t. She graphically describes the impression that came to her her imme- Afate experiments, according to what was formulated in her mind, and of the efforts Co have the models completed. Ms Groth- 5ean Is not spiritualist fin any sense, which renders her story the more remarka- ble. She has patented the device, it has been approved by the leading carriage man. ufaoturers of the country, and she has de- olined as rruch as s4000O for the invention
 At present Miss Grothjean is at work in her at,,4io at New York. The device which Gks orothjean has tpyented Is simple. It

"OReGON CAN LICK ANY FIVE"
Congressman Says Naval Officers Think There
 Is No Such Thing as Defeat.

Boston, May 9.-A dispatch to the Bos- ton Herald from Manchester, N. H., quotes Congressman c. A. Subway, whose home is in that city, as saying:~
 "Our naval officers do not think there is such a thing as defeat Every naval com- mander is anxious to meet the enemy in battle
 At the time when the Alphonso XII and the Vizcaya were in the vicinity of Ha- avana and Porto Rico Commodore Schley wanted to go down and have brush with the two Spanish vessels He told the navy department that the time to fight these ves- sells was when you knew where they were. If he could only get permission to go down and fight these boats, he said, they would know where the Spanish ships were If he came back, and if he did not they would know where he was.
 'sWhy only few days ago saw Presi- dent Mckinley, and in the course of our conversation the president turned to me and said: 'Suloway, it is most remarlka- ble, the confidence our naval officers have in our ships They do not think there is such a thing as defeat
 '"The president was right. few days since, at one of the hotels in Washington, a speaker incidentally remarked that he feared the Oregon might be captured A naval officer who happened to be sitting near jumped up in his seat and replied hotly: "The Oregon captured. Neveri She can lick any five ships Spain has af1oat today! Capture the Oregon! I guess you don't know Clark, her commander!"
 "This represents the sentiment of the naval officers. Those in the Atlantic fleets are galling under the fact that they can not do battle with the enemy. Every man in the navy feels that the treacherous mur- dering of the brave men on the Maine was the killing of his own brother. II never saw such display of loyalty.
 s'The real fear in Washington at present is over the Oregon. There is no discount ing the fact that there is great anxiety over this ship. the pride of the navy. The Oregon is deemed by some of the naval au- thorities as being the greatest fighting ma- chine afioat.
 ssThe reason of this anxiety is due to the fact that we do not know the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet which recently left the Cape Verde Islands. The eastern coast of Brazil, which projects out into the At lantic is very much nearer to the Cape Verde Islands than Cuba. The naval au- thorities fear that. perhaps, the Spanish fleet has been sent across to the Brazilian coast to intercept the Oregon, anx> that this large fiotilla will be spread out over a large territory to intercept our battle ship. We now have searchers out all over this side of the Atlantic trying to locate the Spanish feet"

Is attached to the front axle of the car riase. By turning small lever which extends little above the dashboard small metal rods are manipulated so as to un- loose the shafts from the carriage, letting the horse go free. This lever is not to be turned, of course, until the horse becomes unmanageable. The shafts are held up by short straps so that they cannot touch the heels of the frightened animal. By this arrangement the horse, when detached from the carriage, cannot damage either the carriage or himself This can be in- stantly done whenever danger becomes inn minent. The device can also be used as tiller to steer out of danger when the car rlage is going at full speed.

most cases the certificates that are placed upon the baggage by the custom house men are understood by the emigrants to be checks on transportation over railway lines. It is almost an impossibnfty to enllghten this element.
 sheltering the Poor
 Miss Buhlmaier Is probably doing more In this direction than any young woman of to- day. Many of the women who come to America, ignorant of its customs, so pow erty-stricken, frequently without a roof to shelter them, have known the comfort of a kindly glance and the material help of which they never dreamed to meet on for eign shores. They have known what 1t is to have good books put into their hands by good woman. They have knwn what it is to find in their belongings little Testament printed in their mother tongue. This is the work that Miss Buhlmaier Is do- ing day by day. Caring as best she may for the friendless on American soil, using the limited means that she has at her com mand for spreading Gods Word, and never too weary to take under her shelterlng care the friendless. Miss Buhlmaier gave before one of the sessions an interesting talk on her work.

 Troubles by Mrs. Pinkham.

From Mrs A. W. SMITH, 59 Summer St., Biddeford, Me-:
 "For several years I suffered with various diseases peculiar to my sex. Was troubled with a burning sensation across the small of my back, that all- gone feeling, was Respondent, fretful and discouraged; the least exertion tired me. I tried several doctors but received little benefit. At last de- cided to give your Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound trial. The ef- feet of tho first bottle was magical. Those symTtoms of weakness that I was afflicted with, vanished like vapor before the sun. cannot speak too highly of your valuable remedy. It is truly boon to woman."

LEADING BAPTISTS
 OF UNITED STATES Unique Scene on Their Arrival
 at Norfolk BIRMINGHAM DELEGATION
Something of the Scenes, Work and Character istics of the Notable Personages Who Compose This Gathering of
 Prominent Churchmen.
Special Correspondence
BY ANNIE KENDRICK WALKER


 Norfolk, May 9.-Norfolk presented an unique scene on the night when delegates to the Baptist convention first arrived. Within sight of an harbor that shelters the great battleships, so near that the crowds that line the docks would see any ominous lights that might flash across Chesapeake bay, with the knowledge that at any mo- ment the roar of cannon may echo along the shore, with the streets thronged with hundreds eager for the latest war bulletins, but above 1t all, even above the stars and stripes that emblazon the public buildings comes the chiming of the bells in the church towers and from the blue waters of the Att lantic that touch virginia's shores comes refreshing breeze over a city that has opened wide its gates to the messengers of white winged peace.
 The parlors and lobbies of the hotels are crowded with delegates and visitors in attendance upon the Southern Baptist con- vention.
