Swept Overheard From One Ship and
Met Again in Another.
After a separation of over three years,
during which period each thought the
other dead, Mr. and Mrs. l.. G. Newlin
have met once more, the latter having

by birth and has been at sea ever since

ago he woed and won the daughter of

moon he took ship as mate with bis
father-in-law and took his bride with
him on voyage to Chill. On the re-
turn voyage around the Horn the North
during one Of the tremendous gales
which are so often encountered in the
far antarctic, struck a reef and began
to leak badly. For So hours the crew
stuck to the ship. but finding it i'm
possible to keep her afloat, they prepar-
ed the two boats for launching. Before
they could be got safely over the side
a wave caught Mrs. Newlin and swept
her into the sea. 1t was all the men
could do to get into the boats. They
succeeded, but that was all, and when

neither oars nor food. For three days,
starving and athirst, they tossed to and
fro upon the waters drifting at the will
Of wind and tide. At the end, living
skeletons and so weak that they could
not talk, they were picked up by the
English steamer Olympic, bound for
Philadelphia.
Mate Newlin was saved, but his wife
was gone and he could not forget her
He drifted hither and thither, believing
that she persisted in the fearful storm.
Finally, in his wanderings he reached
Long Beach, Cal. where he took COM
mand Of a yacht which was used for
ern California. A week or so ago he
was startled to see among his passen-
gers the wife he had thought to have
been lost off Cape Horn. She was as
much astonished as her husband. New
lin then learned that when his wife was
swept overheard she was washed under
the stern to the other side of the vessel.
Being splendid swimmer and also
having a good life-preserver, she had
comparatively little difficulty in keep
ing afloat her feeble cries for help be-
ing unheard amid the roar of the storm.
After being tossed about for several
hours she was picked up by a steamer
bound for Seattle. AS soon as possible
she communicated with relatives in
England and learned in reply that her
husband had been reported lost while
on a voyage to the West Indies A
year ago she married again and was on
a pleasure tour of California when ac-
cident brought her and her husband to-
gether. She is now waiting while an
amicable separation is being arranged
between her and husband No. 2, after
which the Newlins will be welded
again '+to make things shipshape," as
her sailor spouse expresses it.

seemed very popular, seems inspired by
the Scotch kilt. Anyhow, it has pleats
around the entire skirt set in the same
fiat way as the pleats of a kilt / sup
pose one might say this is the most
popular form. 1t is called the jupe a la
bonnie femme When box-pleats are
used they are reduced to fatness by
means of many stitchings. some box
pleats being stitched across horizontal
ly, l mean) right down nearly to the
knee. OF course no form of the pleat
means that the skirt is really loose till
the knees are reached. These pleated
skirts again are not worn quite so long
as the plain fiat ones. which point will
no doubt give them favor from some.
Felix of Paris is showing distinct
draping on the hips, recalling the pam
iers of many years ago. One evening
robe l saw this week which had just
been received from him was in old rose
satin, with diamante lace petticoat
from waist to the hem. tied here and
there with broad velvet bows. The
overskirt of the satin was caught up
in three folds on the hips. carried
round the back, where it was slightly
punched UP and allowed to fall in cas-
cades which lost themselves in the long
train; the bodice had a latticework of
black velvet across the shoulders.
Many of his dresses are now treated
in unique fashion, one end of the
unique being carried around to the
back and there left to hang down like
a sash end. This model I have no
ticed in several houses and it evidently
heralds return to the punched up
overskirts Of long ago. c. r. G.

because of lack of space. these build
ing are full to overlooking and two
more halls could easily have been filed
by the rejected students.
Wellesley, with its immense body of
undergraduates and scoreof fine struct-
ures, cannot house it's girls, many of
whom live in the village and walk to
chapel and lectures every day. The
latests bulletins from Bryn Mawr an
nounce that the five halls of the resi-
dence, Merton, Radnor Denbigh and
Pembroke, East and West, are over
crowded, and two large houses, Dolgel-
~ and Cartreff. belonging to the col
lege, have been thrown open for the
undergraduates.
And these are only few of the lead
ing feminine colleges; the Women's
college of Baltimore, the Sophie New
comb of New Orleans, Wells college,
which is Mrs. Grover Clevelands alma
mater; the Western Reserve and a doz-
en- others, all founded within the last
25 years, are splendid proofs of the
progress and popularity of a college
course for girls.

HOBO HUSTLER OF THE WEST. ,
Her Services Highly Valued by the
Union Pacific Railroad.

Union Pacific Railroad.
The toughest kind of a tramp has
no terrors of Mrs. s. ]. Atwood, cur
ly-headed little woman of 80, who Is as
we'll known along the line of the I'm
ion Pacific railroad as any other llv-
ing person. Her bushes is to gather
up all the idle men she can find and
put them to work in Colorado, Wyom-
ing and other sections of the lire
named. No other woman in the world
holds similar position. Indeed. few
men would care to undertake such
duty, but so successful has Mrs. At
wood been that she has come to
be known as "the hobo hustler OF the
West" The value placed upon her
services by the company may be gauged
from the fact that for u years past sne
has been engaged in this work frequent
raises in her salary having been or
dered.
Mrs. Atwood has been in the bust
ness so long that she says she can tell
nv Joking at man whether or not ne
will make good hand. When she sees
ono who suits her taste she approaches
him without hesitation and asks him
how he would like the position she. has
to offer. 1t only requires the work of
ahol1t a minute for the terms to be ar
ranged and the man is escorted to some
corner, where others she has engaged
have been congregated. Mrs. Atwood
has no place she calls her home, but she
nsnajIy makes Denver her headquact-
ers. Most of her time is spent between
Denver and Portland, Ore. She has
short curly hair that is black as night.
She walks with an agile step and al
ways has pleasant smile for even the
toughest hobo.

CROWDED WOMEN'S COLLEGES.
Girls Clamoring for Entrance to Insti-
buttons Which Cannot Admit Them.

The female cry for collegiate educa-
ton is so general and the facilities for
meeting the cry are SO limited that the
College Women's club of New York is
endeavoring to secure the reinstatement
of Evelyn college, the annex of Prince
ton university. which, for lack of funds,
closed it's doors year ago. Amusement
may well be felt at the rapidly increas-
ing demand among women for higher
education. Thirty years ago only two
colleges for women existed. Elmira and
Vassar, Mount Holyhoke being then
only a seminary. Elmira's first gradu-
ating class numbered II, while Vassar's
could boast only four learned bachelors
of art. To-day single class Of Vassar
numbers over 200 students, and not
withstanding the erection in 1898 of
Strong hall land in 1897 of Raymond
hall, both large dormitories, also the
additional accommodations provided in
the main building by the recent erec-
ton of Rockefeller recitation hall, and
the presidents and several professors
houses, another new dormitory must
be built at once to make room for the
candidates constantly applying for adj
mission.
And this state of affairs does not ex-
list at Vassar alone. All the womens
colleges are telling the same tale Smith
college was founded % years ago, open
ing with only u students. 1t now en-
rolls 1000 and is the largest womans
college in existence. although it's en-
trance requirements are severe. 1t be-
gan with one or two buildings, it now
numbers o. with three more about to

dormitory room for the army of young
collegians. Mount Holyoke, which
passed through various educational
stages, rose like the phoenix from the
| ashes of its disastrous fire two years
ago. Five new and handsome dormi-
tories built last season are now occu-
pied, but, although no new candidates
have been accepted since last April

WOMAN HORSE BREAKER.
Meets Success by Never Showing the
Slightest Fear of Her Mount

Slightest Fear of Her Mount.
1t is universally agreed that even
homely woman who has mastered the
art Of equestrianism looks well when in
the saddle. When the rider is pretty
and sits her horse with ease and grace
of course the beauty of the picture is
much enhanced. Hence it Is that Mrs
Annie Benson, wife of a prosperous
farmer living near Fowblesburg, Md,
is regarded by all who know her to be
an exceedingly pretty sight when seat
ed on her favorite thoroughbred mare.
Mrs. Benson is slender, blue-eyed
country woman of well rounded figure
and has been riding horses almost ever
since she can remember anything. She
began riding when she was years old,
and her father used to put her on the
back of a. great animal while he guided
the plow behind. She has broken colts,
been kicked and bitten by horses,
thrown out of buggies and had divers
other experiences of the kind, but has
never been thrown from the back Of
horse. Mrs. Benson says, in discussing
the difficulties which confront girls just
beginning to ride:
THE entire secret of being a good
rider, I think. lies in not being afraid
Of your horse. This is the one great
essential. but there are some other
things just as necessary to know
in the least bit frightened the horse
knows it, and that knowledge has a
demoralizing effect upon it, especially
if it happens to be a thinking horse
I used to wear a very long skirt until
one day horse ! was riding caught his
hind foot in the skirt and tore it off
me! Since then I have ridden with a
skirt of walking length and find it
much better, I do not think it would
help a girl much to ride astride like a
man in managing her horse. I have
ridden that way. but I felt that if the
horse started to run could not stop
him at all.
st am breaking two colts now that
will make beauties. One was years
old on May 20 and the other a few
months older My method of training
is hard to describe. I simply put the
bride and saddle on them and then get
on myself. When am once in the sad
die l know they can't get me out. I
ride one of them every day, sometimes
six or seven miles. OF course they are
so young that I allow them to travel
very slowly and never allow them to
run for fear of weakening their backs.

of the sisters one day, however. OBJ

mother of the child had beautiful black

with other sisters, until 1T came to be
the quiet gossip of the corps. Finally
the stories reached the ears of the sis
ter with the black hair, and then there
was time. She went to the officer in
charge of the corps and demanded that
the originator of the hair dye story be
tried by court-martial. This was
granted. There were interesting scenes
at the trial and the accused sister
was acquitted. The accuser left the

and finally disarmament put an end to

curing one of the recent cool after

elderly woman who wore an old-fash-

SKIN SKIN collar. Evidently the cape had just
been taken from a chest containing
moth balls, for the odor Of these pre-
Ventives was powerful. The car was
crowded, principally by women, 50 the
elderly passenger was compelled to
stand, and as the car jolted or swung

the strap, sprinkling the glistening par

particularly bad lurch and something
fell from the cape into the lap of a lady
near by. This something proved upon
close inspection to be tiny mouse
Following closely came several more,

VICTORIA AS A HOUSEKEEPER.
Pays Her Domestics Well, but Demands
the Best service.

the Best service.
Though mistress Of numerous palaces,
castles and country houses, Queen Vic
toria keeps wonderfully close track Of
all of her household belongings, show
ing sound business capacity and
memory for detail which has served her
we'll as a. royal ruler. OF course, the
daily housekeeping is attended to by
deputy, but none the less the head of
the establishment is in the real sense
it's mistress. AS she pays well. she de-
mands good service, though not above
overlooking trifles that do not partake
of the nature of Sinking, which she
cannot tolerate. Like every good house
keeper the queen knows and remembers
her valuable household possessions and
is fully aware of their individual merit
and the places where they ought ITO be
kept. She does not know them all, for
they number thousands, but hundreds
of them she does know, and elaborate
catalogues are kept of the rest--furni-
ture, brio brac, china, glass, silver,
draperies and other furnishings-by her
order, in accordance with her ideas.
Only a small portion of her many hun
bred articles for table service are actu-
ally in ordinary use, and she is in the
habit of using but three of her many
services of plate and china at Windsor
castle.
But once after a talk with the Ger
man ambassador, who was visiting her,
the members of the queens household
were surprised on coming to the table
to behold strange china set before them,
each plate adorned with landscape
paintings. 1t soon appeared that the
ambassador having mentioned in the
morning that his birthplace was Furs-
tenberg, the queen had recalled to
mind a service of china never used, and
for nine years put away and forgotten
by everyone but herself which had
been manufactured there and was dec
grated with painted scenes of the town
and it's vicinity.
