WHAT A WOMAN DID.
To Europe Six Times in Twelve
Years-Learned Six Languages.

AZ HuIOpe DIX Times In Twelve
Years-Learned Six Languages.
A plucly American woman, who be-
gan to support herself at 10, has shown
how poor school-teacher can see Eu-
rope to the best advantage in ~ years.
Earning small salary in a public
school, she has taken private pupils and
lived frugally, and has been able to go to
Europe every other year for a two
months holiday.
Her first journey was made to Eng
land and Scotland, and was enjoyed so
keenly that she planned another one,
and saved money for it during the n ext
two years. The second tour was through
France, Belgium and Holland, and in
order to travel comfortably she learned
French during her leisure hours.
Returning to her school work, she
began to study German, and at the end
OF two years was ready for a journey up
the Rhine and to Vienna, and thence
through Dresden and Berlin to Bremen.
With renewed ardor she plunged into
the study of Italian, and at the end of
two'years she started for Rome. She
made the round of the Italian cities, and
spent fortnight in Switzerland. Two
years afterward she was in Spain, and
was able to speak the language.
During the lastyear she has made her
sixth journey to Europe, travelling
through Denmark, Norway and Sweden
to Russia, and spending fortnight in
Moscow. She carried with her a fair
knowledge of Swedish and not only
knew the Russian alphabet so as to read
the street signs, but could make her
own bargains with drosky drivers and
go about without a guide.
In the course of 12years she has made
six Journeys to Europe and learned to
speak six modern languages, and she
has supported herself entirely by her
earnings as school-teacher, and has
paid every penny of her travelling ex-
penses. Starting with a painstaking
study of the language of the country
which she was to visit, and also prepar-
ing: herself by course of reading, she
has made the best possible use of her
time abroad.
The reward for all this energy and
perseverance has come in her thirtieth
year. Her knowledge of foreign lang
uages has fitted her for broader work as
teacher, and she has left the public
schools to take position as instructor
in French, German and Italian in a
high school for young women.
There may be higher aims than those
ordinarily involved in foreign travel,
but the persistency of this American
girl in carrying out her plans is worthy
of praise. 1t is great gain in any
human life, if it is governed by def
mite purpose and keeps that purpose
steadily in mind.-Philadelphia Times.

A GREAT TIDE OF PROSPERITY.

Finley and G. l. Ferry. The case was car
RED before the department on an appeal
by Finley from the decision of the general
land Office, which was favorable to Ferry.
The land III question is in Whatcon coun-
ty. near the British Columbia lire. At Diff
fsrent times Finley and Ferry have occu-
pied the land. living In a frame house
built by Ferry III 1891. Finley had him
elected In ns2 By a Judgment obtained in
the superior court OF Whatcom county. and
lived thereafter In Ferry's house until no
IL turn was removed by a land Office de-
cision- In appealing from this decision,
Ferry said:
THE department OF the interior has no
jurisdiction TO overruie the state court so
far as personal movable property is con-
cerned. The decree of the court trans
ferred that little box house to me-"
Ferry Is sqnelched by the decision re-
ceived yesterday at the local land Office,
which says: This department is not con-
corning itself about that little box house.
The local officers have held that Ferry
had, upon final proof. established his right
to the land in controversy. The general
Office sustained their Judgment. The de-
partment concurs and hereby affirms the
decision"

ORDINANCE MAS DEFEATED.

strong Speeches In Oppositioa to the
Measure by J. n. Calvert, Judge
Thomas Barlxe, I. 4. NaAeas, Eras-

The city council at called meeting yes
definitely the matter OF exacting licenses
from foreigners soliciting trade In this
city. All the mem bers of the council were
present except Chapman. and with Herr
man in the chair James introduced an or
dinanee proposing the exaction Of a IL
cense. stating that he introduced il by re-
quest. In order to bring it before the
house. he moved its reference to the com
mittee on police, license and revenue, with
instructions TO report TO the cous Gil next
Monday night. He stated that MS own
mind was not fully made up; thai he was
open 10 conviction. and might be heartily
In favor OF the plan proposed in the ordi-
nance or bitterly opposed to IL. He thought
ID matter OF sufficient importance TO
merit careful consideration. He suggest
ed that as number OF gentlemen were
present In the lobby the council might
do well TO hear from them.
such an invitation was accordingly ex-
tended. and In response 10 II brief speeches
were made by J. II. Calvert, Judge Thorn
as Burke. /. A. Nadeau, Erastus Brain
erd, representing committee Of mer-
chants, and John +. Hartman, all OF
whom thought that the adoption OF such
an ordinance would be unwise.
They made an unusually strong and Wig
orous presentation of reasons why the
council should not pass such an ordinance
among which were that IL such a license
were exacted the Canadians might easily
retaliate to the disadvantage of Amer
leans: that the measure was unconsti tu-
uonai in proposing to interfere with In
ternationai rights guaranteed by the
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain; and that even IL the ordi-
nance could be enforced, II would be an
unwise stroke of policy, since it would
have the appearance OF advertising Seat
tie to the world being afraid TO let
Canadians come in here and compete with
her. AT all points of the discussion there
was general recognition of the fact that
Seattle has the great bulk of the Klondike
trade already within her grasp and the
conviction that IL cannot be taken from
her even by questionable methods of busi-
ness and underhand misrepresentatiens.
On motion of Raymond consideration of
the ordinance was indefinitely postponed
only one or two negatives being heard In
the viva yoce vote.
