Il am a spinster, and my three sons,
Paul Friedrich, Wilhelm and Otto, are
adopted. I took them when they were
babies in need of a mothers care. They
are now such a blessing to me. Paul
Friedrich attends to all the financial
and practical affairs of our journey
fngS, opens and closes my meetings for
me and in countless ways assists me in
my work. Each year we have aimed
to touch once at the large ports of Eu-
rope and do missionary work. London,
Berlin, Hamburg and Genoa are some
of the places in which I have worked
months at a time. Last year l visited
fifty-eight cities, including some in
Denmark and Scandinavia
MY plan of work is to enter the har-
Dor of some city" continued the Count
ess, "apprise the sailors and wharfmen
of our presence, let their curiosity be
awakened by the yacht and the fact of
my being a lady of gentle birth. I go
ashore and speak to them in a hall near

Gospel, but endeavor to establish cof-
fee houses and induce men to give up
strong drink. The results of our meet
ings are often marvellous, believe"
this modestly. II am never patroniZ-
ing in my manner, and because l,
Countess, have left behind me life
of ease and am spending my fortune to
advance the cause of Christ, the anar-
chists and infidels are often touched
and won to righteous living, because
they believe in my sincerity and accept
salvation as good thing. Work is very
hard in Germany, where even the
Christians fight me for advocating tenn
perance. OH there is no city so bad
as Berlin for drunkenness. Hamburg
and all the German towns are wretch

London is not so bad. Strange to say
the socialists of Europe are the ones

who do the most active temperance
work.
THE poverty and intemperance in
Old World cities are vastly greater
than in America, where the women
mark youss the women-are so actively
employed in good work-in mothering
boys and girls who need help. In Ger
many the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union and the Christian Endeavor
Society have obtained but a small foot
ing. 1t is yet very hard for women to
do public philanthropic work without
ridicule and contempt.
Il have gone from city to city, hop
ing my object lesson would inspire
other women to take a positive stand. l
have never taken up collections at my
meetings, defraying my expenses from
my own fortune. 1 have had contribu-
tons from the lately deceased Queen
of Denmark-a noble woman and a
friend to me-also from the Princess of
Wales, but nothing ever from the
Prince. 1 have sold my jewels and am,
now about to dispose Of my country

interesting? They have told me here
in America that Chicago is very wicked
terrible, in fact. But nothing can ex-
coed the vice and misery of Old World
cities, in whose slums and prisons
have labored. One of my most pleas
ant tasks is the searching for parents
of hayward boys, who, when converted,
want father and mother to know of it.
The Countess here brought forth a
file of letters and read touching ex-
tracts from several-one from con-
verted anarchist Hebrew, another from
a pardoned convict, and still others
from rough sailors and seamen. There
was one also from a wealthy young

Her own room-very daintily finished
and furnished, with pretty airy cur

photographs, including a large auto,

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. -Proft-taking was

Some attempt was made to resist the
declining tendency, but the persistent
