Helen Gould.
Chicago Times-Herald.


All America is proud of Helen Gould.
N OF alone for the munifcence of her
contributions of money to provide for
our invaded troops, but for her SIM
pie, unaffected womanliness, and the
spirit with which she has entered into
the work of relief.
While the world knew something of
her private benefactions before the
war, there were many no doubt who
considered them as the perfunctory
charity of q rich woman. The war has
given the people an opportunity to be-
come acquainted with her, and like all
unaffected people with hearts in them,
she improves upon acquaintance.
AT a time of year when the average
woman of wealth is at the seaside or her
country seat, her mind engrossed with
social conquest or the frivolities of fash
ion, Helen Gould has remained where
she could be OF most service to her
country and its defenders. Her gifts of
money have been commensurate with
her fortune, but she has not been con-
tent with mere giving; she has worked
and planned and contributed in hun
dreds of ways by personal effort to the
comfort OF the soldiers in health and
the care of those that are i'll.
She has assisted in Transforming
Coup Wihoh luto d sanitary refuge,
and she has gone outside of the camp
to secure space in yet more desirable
hospitals for cOnvalescents.
Those who have shared this work
with her eulogize her for the simplici.
ty OF her character, her gentleness, heT
splendid energy and her Jealous pa
triotism, unspoiled by wealth and the
power it gives.
When the list of heroines in the His
PIANO Americana war shall be written
it may be that Helen Gould's name
shall lead all the rest.

She does not wear boomers or even
the abbreviated skirts which are worn
by most of the women in Dawson. Her
only article of masculine attire is her
crush hat. Always she is accompanied
in her tramps about the streets of Daw-
son, or about the creeks, when she will
make the average man wheeze for
breath to keep up with her, by Nero.
Any man who would lay on hands on
his mistress would have to deal with
this huge st. Bernard. 1t is not we'll
even to disagree with his mistress In
Nero's presence, for he is quick to see
when his mistres is displessed with
about the trails on her little sled.
The Forks, from which Miss Null
rooney gets her ii tie of Miss Mulroo-
ney of the Forks"-which is commonly
used than Queens at the junction of
Eldorado and Bonanza, the two rich
creeks which were worked fully for
the first time last winter, and last win
ter these creeks were dotted with rows
OF cabins of the claimowners, the en-
ployees and the laymen. The lowest
working CLAIM on Bonanza, WAS farth-
or from Dawson. than IL WAS from the
Forks, and ! d. WIS easier for the men
there, to say nothing of the men be-
yond the Forks. to go to the Forks
than TO Dawson for an evening of SOFIA
bllity. The Forks was one days travel
from Dawson and one days travel from
the new creeks over the divide, and =,
therefore, hose prospecting the new
creeks might stop there TO break the
journey.
When Miss Mulrooney came to the
Forks il was desolated. Now il is Q
cluster of log cabins and is called q
town. The miners said that Miss Null
rooney was foolish to build hotel
there: ut thu same time they said they
would pstroniZe her because of her en-
terprise. 1t turned out that she had
foresight and they had not. She knew
tn 1t the clnim-owners were the people
who could afford TO pay far good things
and that she was in the center of this
community. She bought the hes food
in Dawson. early in winter, ring
prices that then amazed the other rest
aurants, aud had IL taken to the Forks
when Shedding was good and freightinO
consequently cheap-for the Kloudike
paying some 20 cents pound for a
distance OF Is miles. She also had a
line OF good things to drink, and she
did not neglect to hire the best cook in
the town, Billy. Upstairs in her house
had the best hunks in the klondike re-
gion, and they were full almost every
night at $3.50 q hesd. Late in the
winter the bill Of fare in the Dawson
restaurants was pretty we'll limited to
bacon, beans and coffee, for which you
pay 81 90. Miss Mulrooney charged
sl.50 for meal, but she had great
variety OF canned goods aud always on
the table q pot of stewed fruit, the con
tents of which had no more disappear
ed in the ravenous mouths than it was
refilled by the ubiquitous Billy, who
swore by Miss Mulrooney and swore a
great deal in another sense.

Boiling Water for a Halfpenny.

The latest application of the coin
in-the-slot principle is one which will
be greatly valued by the poorer :nhab-
itants of our large towns and cities.
Lamp-pOsts are being erected in busy
centers, so arranged that the waste
heat of the gas is employed to heat
cistern of water, from which a Jug
full can be obtained by any one by the
expenditure of one halfpenny. The 'lit-
tie bit O. fire. for boiling a kettle in
poor home is often consideration Of
some moment, to say nothing of the
weary time which has to elapse before
that kettle Will come to the boil"
Under the new dispensation all this
trouble will be avoided for the eX-
penditure of a halfpenny, and the sys
in London and Liverpool, and it will
presently be greatly extended. The
installation in Leicester Square, Lon
don. which will be patronized by all
torts and conditions of men, women

The Professor says he counted fifty

believes he missed a great many. He

The chief products of the islands are
hemp, tobacco and sugar. Nearly all
the hemp used in the United States
comes from the islands, and the crop

Opposed to Greenwich Time

The recent decision of the French
Chamber to legalize Greenwich time in
France has called forth opposition, and
the Senate, before ratifying it. has in
Vited scientific light on the matter NJ
Berthelot has given his opinion in
favor of the new time as a practical
measure. NJ. Jansen says it is not ne
cessary to adopt what he calls Eng
llsh time. In practice it will suffice
for French railways TO retard their
clocks by four minutes AT the con-
ference of Washington we, along with
Brazil rejected Greenwich time III we
accept II. it will be necessary to alter
the knowledge of time in all our naval
charts, and it must also be said that
we shall wound the sentiment of the
French maritime. To adopt English
time is to render obligatory the merid-
ian of Greenwich" NJ. Poincarre has
found solution of the difficulty AT
bottom" he admitted, the adoption of
the meridian of Greenwich wounds the
national self-love. Eth bein, There IS
a town in France which has the same
meridian, namely, Argentan. Let the
French adopt the meridian of Argen-
tan. and everybody will be satisfied"
Finally, il was decided to get reports
from the Geographical and Astronomi-
cal Sections of the Academic des

A General Outline of Their Gil

There has been so much excitement
over the stirring military events of
the last two months that few persons
have taken a calm survey of the situ-
alton regarding the islands that now
form the interesting goal toward which
American energy is sweeping.
1t is an opportune time TO present
to the readers of the Record Union
an outline of the main characteristics
of the Philippines and Porto Rico. The
information that follows is computed
from trustworthy sources, and it con-
tains the gist of all that is most in
teresting TO the masses:
Since Dewey achieved the most re-
markable victory of modern or ancient
times in the Philippines it is we'll to
give an outline of their salient feat

understood that the Philippines are

morning wear are made of the French
Zephyrs woven on Scotch looms. They
come this year in exceedingly pretty
patterns and colors, and the corded and
tufted zephyrs are first choice.
The silky Henriettas and French and
India cashmeres in white and colors
are regaining the place in fashionable
favor which they lost when dull-sur-
faced. rough materials first became so
popular. Cashmere, one of the best

because of it's glossineSS, which was

1t is only the lapse of time that allows
them the distinction of novelty. The
robe patterns, as they are called, are
combination of plain and embroidered
material, and this allows for variety
and an exercise of artistic taste in
making up the fabric.

The lace and net toilets prepared for

extremely fascinating in their dainty
beauty. Sometimes the gown is all lace
or all net; again, there is an elaborate
melange of lace, net, bbon-ruches,
and bands of insertion. For example,
a Doucet gown of satin-striped net has
both skirt and bodice trimmed with
bands of lace entre-deux. The sleeves
are usually of the lace laid over chiffon
before it is put upon the silk lining

often the silk is omitted altogether

will prove very poetic and picturesque.
The Marie Antonette sleeve is Tight
fitting to the elbow: it is then furnished
with falling frills of handsome lace in a
double row. When the sultry days Of

to discard the very long sleeves we
have been wearing on gowns, and the
cool silk gloves will likewise be an
agreeable change for kid gants, either
OF the glace or undressed variety.
Color, as rule, is very artistically
considered this year, and even from red
white and blue as key-notes in both
dress and millinery many pretty varia-
tions are made. The genuine, royal
red is brilliant scarlet. but the shade
which appears conspicuOusly in fash
ionable gowning is like velvet -petalled
geranilrm blossom.
Fancy yokeS, guimpeS, or collaretteS
are everywhere in evidence on new
summer gowns. Some of the most
dainty are formed of sheer nainsook or
NULL in clusters of fine lingerie tucks,
with insertions and projecting edgings
of Valenciennes lace. The tucked
guimpe extending into a narrow vest,
and showing inside the fronts of the
silk or satin waist, is a very popular
bodice arrangement. To this guimpe
is added a collar band of nainsook in
mir ute tucks laid over white silk or
velvet ribbon, and trimmed all around
the top with a standing frill of Valen-
ciennes lace an inch or more in width.
There are also sleeve-cuffs or inside
frills of the lace-edged and tucked
