JENNIE JUNE CROLY,


woman and has probably done a. nust,
for the advancement of her sex as any
other woman in the country. In the
first place she forced the sanctum door,
which before her time had been stoutly
barred against women. Next she estab.
lished the woman's S column in the daily
paper and has seen it grow to the WON.
ans page and even to the "woman's
magazine.
She has also been called "the mother
of women's clubs. - 1t was in the par.
lors Of her home that Sorosis was organ.
ized and for IL years she was president
Of that original woman's club after
which SO many subsequent organizations
have been patterned. 1t was at Mrs.
Crolys home, too, that the New York
Woman's Press club was formed, and of
this she was for number of years the
chief executive.
Jennie June Croly was born in Eng.
land, but came to America when but q
child. At 1S she began earning her own
living by teaching country school in
New York state Her husband, David
G. Croly, whom she married in 1857,
was widely known newspaper man.
For over 40 years she has been putting
her signature to articles on topics of in
terest to women until the name Of Jen-
ME June has become household word
all over the country. She was the orig
inator Of the syndicate letter, u business
which has grown into immense proper
tions. Early in her career she became
editor of a we'll known fashion publica-
tion, and although she has held many
other positions and done vast amount
of other work she still retains this con-
uection.
Mrs. Croly has now reached the ripe
age Of GO, but she is just az active in
club work and journalism as ever. In
appearance she does not seem
to fade and looks almost as youthful as
her name sounds. She has saved COM
Portable fortune out of the money which
she has earned with her pen and can re-
tire gracefully from the arena whenever
she wants to.

The authorities obtained information
that Karditza was hiding in house Of
ill-repute, which they caused to be sur
rounded by the police, but in the mean
time Karditza had gone to the public
prosecutors office and surrendered him
self, declaring his innocence. Closely
pressed, however, he confessed to being

not express any regret, and declared
that If the gun had not trembled in the

KILLED BY A HAT PIN.
A Drummer Meets Death at the
Hands of a Woman.

Chicago, March 1T is almost a
certainty that Bartholomew Brandt
Brander, the Partisan drummer, who is
dead at the Palmer house, was muir
dered with a wOman's hat pin. The
autopsy showed not only conclusion of
the brain, but a small puncture which
began near the corner of the left eye
and extended far into the interior of
the skull It was not of greater di-
ameter than the lead in a pencil Bran
der entered the hotel at a late hour
bleeding profusely and fell to the floor.
Jealousy on the part of a woman is
now believed to be the cause of the as
sauIt which resulted in his death. Be
fore delirium made his conversation in
coherent, he told his nurse that he had
trouble with a woman in st. Louis, but
when questioned further he refused to
say anything connecting the quarrel
and his injuries.
Brander, on the night he was injured
said he thought he had been drugged
and this, taken in connection with the
peculiar injury under his left eye. has
led to the theory that Brander's injuries
resulted from a premeditated attack,
actuated by a desire for revenge.

SOLVED EDISON'S PROBLEM
A Polish schoolmaster Makes Ma
chine to Reproduce Color Pho
tographs at a Distance.

Vienna March IA Polish schoolmaster
named Szczepanik says he has solved
problem on which it is said Mr.. Edison
worked unsuccessfully for years. He has
invented an electrical teleoptical appara-
tus, which he calls a fernseher, which en-
ables one to see an object at any distance
away in it's natural colors. The appara-
tus is placed before the object, the re-
Election of which is separated by mirrors
into numerous dots. which are distributed
upon an endless line.
The different vibrating rays from the
dots produce in the apparatus electrical
currents of varying strength. These cur
rents are transmitted by electric wires to
the observers apparatus. where the cur
rents are rechanged into rays of light and
transformed by mirrors into united pic
ture. The invention has been patented
1t is proposed to show it with the French
Paris exposition.

sELF-HYPNOTIsM
Is Practiced Unconsciously by People
Day by Day.

In order to continue a habit, some
people will put up with more misery
day by day than they would stand for
any other cause.
For instance a man may have daily
twfnges of neuralgia or stomach trou-
BILE or weakness of the heart, (all hav-
ing their origin in a disarranged nerv-
Gus SYSTEM and be told many times
that he could be rid of his misery by
leaving off the drugs. tobacco and COT
fee that cause the trouble. But he
stoutIy asserts that they don't hurt him
and are not the cause of his trouble.
why" one man said, Il left off coffee
and tobacco once for two weeks and I
felt like a fighting cock, but couldn't
stand the powerful desire and had to
take them up again.
Such experiences show the real hyp-
motto character of habit, and these hab-
it's are, to an extent, breaking down the
race. When a man shakes off the hyp-
nOtism he clearly sees that bounding
health and the ability to hold up ones
life duty and have the ability to carry
out business projects successfully is
worth more than all the habits on the
face of the earth when coupled with
daily aches and ails and an ever in
creasing inability to make things go.
Mans great object in life is hap
piness and to portray as nearly as pos
sible the perfect man designed by the
Creator
Narcotic habits, like coffee and to-
bacco, break him down by as sure a law
as that by which the sun rises each
morning. 1t is easy to break the spell
of coffee if Postum Food coffee is used,
for when it is properly boiled it has
the color and flavor of Java coffee and
yet contains nothing but the most pow
erful food elements selected with es-
peciaI reference to their ability to re-
store the delicate tissue in brain and
nerve centres. The trade mark, 1T
makes red blood" covers a profound
truth.

REINDEER ON LAND.
Preparing the Animals for Their Long
Trip to Alaska

New York, March Among the most
interesting of the men who came with
the reindeer, was Lap named BALTIC,
who accompanied Nansen across Green
land. Through the interpreter, BALTIC
showed medal which was presented to
him by King Oscar II. for his services
on that occasion. Each one of the par
ty has some particular hobby, but all OF
the men can handle the little gray col
ored animal, the reindeer, on whom
they depend so much. These animals
are located in wooden stalls which were
erected aft the main deck and between
decks. There were six or eight in each
stall and everyone of them had been
dehorned that they might not injure
each other in transit.
Prior to their being turned into the
open yards for a days freeze, each an
imaI has to have halter made of stout
thongs of skin and put on it's head. Inc
reindeer resented this and when herd
er or driver went into a stall or pen to
perform his task, he generally had a
tough time of it. He generally tackled
the biggest fellow first, and rough
and tumble wrestling match ensued-
The reindeer were let out into the open
yards where they playfully frlsked
about, watched carefully by the herd
ers.
