oldest old maid in the world She is 1Ol
years old and has never been kissed,
says the St. Louis Republic.
Nearly 80 years ago tailor in New
York proposed to her, but he was acci-

Ever afterwards, when asked why she
did not get married. she would reply
that she would rather have, a parrot that

According to her reckoning, she was
born in Ireland March p, 1893. At the
age of IA years she landed in New,

WOMEN In PUBLIC SERVICE.
Three Young Ladies' Occupied Mt the
County Offices.

The following article relating to three
we'll known young ladies of this city
who fill positions of trust and respcnsi-
bility in the public service is taken from
the January number of "Kennedy's
Own"
The fact that each year brings an
ever increasing number of women into
positions of prominence connected with
governmental. as well as private affairs,
has created no little interest in the pub.
lie mind. The recent report sent out
by the national government at Washing
ton, commented very favorably upon tile
results thus far achieved by women who
hold official positions under the nation
al government.
At the office of the probate court. CT
Hennepin county, Miss Esther Hoy is
deputy clerk. This responsible position
she has occupied since Jan. 1, 1891, hav-
ing served the county through three
changes Of administration. Miss Hoy is
the first lady to receive the appointment
of deputy clerk of the probate court in
the history Of the country. She has
charge Of the probate register and re-
cords, and her several years of prac-
tical experience renders her perfectly
familiar with all matters coming under
the jurisdiction of the court. She has
been granted notary's commission,
giving her power to subscribe. to all le-
gal documents presented for acknowl-
edgment
Miss Bridget R. Gleason has held the
position Of stenographer in the county
attorneys office since Aug. 1, 1892. Miss
Gleason by her ability and aptitude for
the work required, has been enabled TO
hold the position through the various
changes frequently brought about by DO
litical action and preference. Miss Glea-
sons duties consist in doing all the stem
ographic work at the county attorneys
office, in keeping the criminal dockets
and files, in taking care of exhibits, in
making out subpoanas and witnessing
certificates of attendance in court, and
in taking testimony in the municipal
court for the Office when examinations
are held. Miss Gleason's busiest time
is when the grand jury is in session.
The position of cashier at the county
treasurer's office has been held by Miss
lmogene lockwood since 1892. She en-
tered the treasurer's office in January
OF that year, as a copyist, and received
the appointment of cashier about a
month later. Miss Rockwood's duties
are to receive all payments of taxes, to
pay all warrants and bills against The
county and to pay the salaries of coun-
ty officials and employees Her busiest
time is usually during the tax-paying
season in the early part OF the year. 1t
is interesting to note that although Miss
lockwood handles upward of three and
half millions dollars each year of
county funds, not single mistake rr
error has attended any transaction.

Scorpion and Manteo are in port, having
arrived here yesterday afternoon
The second engineer of the Manteo died
recently at sea of heart disease.
The Mariana beach landing place has
been definitely selected and work on the

the direction OF Captain Crawford, OF the
engineer corps.
The colonial congress was dissolved yes
terday by decree of Captain General
Banco.
Captain Brooks has been assigned by
the United States military commander to
make a detailed inventory Of every gun
mounted on the Notifications of Havana,
as agreed upon at yesterdays meeting of
the joint commission. The captain began
work this morning, in company with two
Spanish officers appointed by the Spanish
side This is the first step taken by the
commission to investigate on its own ac-
count the ordnance existing here.
The relief supplies Of the Red Cross

The civil governor of Havana recently
ordered the removal of all the beggars
who are infesting the public theroughfares.
They will be taken TO homes. hospitals and
asylums designated for that purpose.
The work of removing the beggars has
commenced. They were placed in closed
wagons, which, however. did not turn out
to be satisfactory conveyances. The beg

vehicles and taking to their heels as soon
