terprising young women who are run
ming a printing office of their own in
New York and making money at it.
Miss Corinne I. Stilwell is the business
manager of the concern and Miss Effie
E. Stilwell acts as foreman.
The sisters know the printing bust
ness from the bottom up. They were
formerly employed as demonstrators
by the makers of typesetting machines
and it was their duty to teach new
operators the working of these compli-
Gated machines; of course they were
unusually expert.
Later they became newspaper print
ers until an opportunity came to set up
a shop of their own. They bought
typesetting machines. opened an Office
and began printing, chiefly trade and
religious papers. Their plant" is worth
some $4,000.
"Our path has not been exactly strewn
with roses" says Miss Stilwell, the
manager THE first six months it was

knew what turn our luck would take.

he desired to place it upon record that
an act of treason had not placed a for

him concerning confession by Dreyfus,
but he could not remember that Cap

we all know now how distressingly

Hamburg's Artificial Island.
Fro mthe Chicago Chronicle.

Fro mthe Chicago Chronicle.
The ancient city of Hamburg has set
an example for Chicago in the matter
of island resorts for the people. The
proposition to create an island for pub
lie recreation in the lake basin has been
anticipated by the German city. Judg-
ing from the success of the Alster inset,
as the Hamburg park is called, the
proposal to do likewise here Is well
backed up. An exposition building out
in the lake. with appropriate gardens,
ETC., judged by the comparison with the
German city's success, would be in its
natural position.
Hamburg wasted no time in creating
its park. One meeting of the city SEN
ate was all that was necessary to de-
eide upon the location. The Alster be-
sin was the only locality considered at
ALL The motif for the building was to
provide water carnival for the en-
peror's day when Wilhelm visited Ham
burg on the occasion Of the opening Of
the North sea canal. The Island is 1000
feet long and 800 feet wide, erected on a
foundation of steel. It was created at
a cost of s350,o00. 1t represents a cliff
overhanging the sea.
At one end is high tower furnishing
daily visitors a magnificent panorama,
at night a colossal searchlight throws
it's rays for miles into the country. A
big music pavilion is on the west end
and concerts by military bands in the
afternoon and the city orchestra at
night are of daily occurrence. Between
the pavilion and the tower are variety
of places of public entertainment, all to
be visited at a moderate cost. Two
hundred thousand persons on an aver
age visit the island every day. In
winter skating and ice carnivals are
| given under glass roofs. The island has
been a profitable venture from the be-
