THE NEW WOMAN.
The Secret of Strength
and Beauty.

The athletic woman is everywhere in
evidence. You can see her on the wheel,
swinging golf club, rowing, riding,
running. her every movement so grace
ful that you instlnctiVely pause to look
at her The day OF tight-laced, wasp
wasted women is over and gone. The
age has given us a new women who
thinks more of her lungs thar she does
Of her waist, and who Is proud OF her
muscle. But have you noticed that
these girl goddesses are almost without
exception unmarried? As soon as
woman marrles she begins to lose the
swinging stride. the easy carriage, the
steady hand the quick eye. Her back
hurts and she can't row, or swing golf
club. She is nervous and the old sports
and recreations are impossible to her.
The reason for this condition is obvious

A MAN OF FORESIGHT.
William Williams, of This City, Has
Proven Himself Such.

At meeting of the stockholders of
the Delaware and Hudson railroad.
held some years ago in New York city,
Mr. Williams. who has some stock i'm
the road, addressed the meeting at
some length.
His words created sensation and
the day after he received much atten-
tion at the hands of the journals i'm
the Metropolis. Mr.. Williams, in his
remarks, declared that the Delaware
and Hudson road was not i'm as good
financial condition as it apparently
seemed 10 be, and that if the method
of managing in vogue at that time was
insisted upon the road would come to
an untimely end.
Shortly after his return from the city
ne wrote a letter in which he said:
THE dividends paid to stockholders
were seven per cent. while the profits
were only fraction over ga. Thus it
can be seen to pay the per cent. on
thirtyfive million capital stock must
have made a big hole in the surplus
which cannot last long" That Mr.
Williams is financier of some note is
evidenced by his prophetic letter of
1896.

HOSPITAL IN DANGER.
If the People Do Not Rally to Its
Support, What ThenP

That the residents of this city have
taken little or no interest in the Emer-
gency hospital of this city is a la
mentable fact At the last annual
meeting of the directors the outlook
was decidedly disCouragng and If no
donations are made 1t is feared that
the excellent institution will impera-
lively close its doors.
Today there are twenty-siX patients
in II, almost as many as 1t can take
care of. Reports of the past year show
that seventeen persons were taken care
of daily. The hospital has been run
on up-to-date prime iples although the
outlay of money in maintaining It has
often come from the directors private
purses.
The institution is now i'm debt to
an enormous amount. which IN some
way must be cancelled if the appro-
priation does not cover the sum. 1t is
owing to the trustees interchangeable la
bors tina the hospita is open today. The
matter of heating the building was
discussed at some length. Although
there is an excellent heating apparatus
i'm structure it is exceedingly cold in
the interior.

While the remains of the late Mrs.

casket surrounded by a wealth of floral
