GODMOTHER

Mrs. c. oliver IseEin, the Fore

woman.
BY Annette Crawford

The foremost yaehtswoman in America
is Mrs. G. Oliver IseIin. She has fully.
earned the title of .s@odmother Of Cup
Defenders" The coming struggle for
the trophy is the second with whiehi she
has been identified.
As the wife of the managing owner Of
the Columbia Mrs. IseIin could be still
more conspicuous, but she is naturally
modest and abhors notoriefy. She is tryl
ing to keep herself in the background az
much as possible, but her love of yacht-
ing is so strong that she accepts more on
less publicity with as good grace as pos
sible.

largely a matter of custom. Two hun
dred years ago priests, as a rule, wore
boards. Today in Indiana the C%apuchins,
at Franklin, and the members of the
community of Notre Dame wear boards.
In the orient the clergy all wear boards
and are likely to continue to do so for all
the years to come, as fashions do not
change there. Many popes have worn
boards. Cardinal Richelieu wore mus
tachios and n goatee, such as today we
would call an imperial. The founder of
the Sulpicians, a very correct religious
order, wore mustachios and a goatee. It
is merely a matter of custom. 1t may be

Five years ago Mrs. Iselin was known
as Hope Goddard, the Maid OF the
Mill" Her father is Colonel William
Goddard, a great mill owner Of Provj,

Her mother was a Miss Jenckes OF
Providence, daughter Of a famous patent
lawyer, who made and lost a great for

Miss Goddard,s paternaf grandfather
was a member of the frm of Brown,
Ives & Goddard, who controlled nearly
all the cotton mills of Rhode Island. He
left three sons, all of whom inherited
fortunes. 1t is estimated that Miss Cod.

she was first introduced to New York

The sultan Of Sulu a short time ago
was about to declare war upon the Unit
ed States. Spain had evacuated all the
Philippines, but the sultan seemed to
have an objection to a protectorate under
Uncle Sam. subsequently, however, the
savage monarch concluded that he would
rather have the friendship than the en-
nifty of the United States. The gunboat
Bennington took Professor Schurman to
the Sulu group, and the sight Of Ameri-

bastic messages with much courtesy and
promptness. As there was no way Of
awarding him in a substantial and per-
sonal manner, President Mckinley hit
upon the plan OF giving the polite
Frenchman a loving cup.
The cup is Roman in form, Is inches in
height and weighs more than 100 ounces
sterling. The inscription around its neck
reads as follows:

The body of the cup is covered with a

are composed Of gracefully intwined
olive leaves and berries, symbolizing
friendship, the openwork silversrnithiag

a frame to the arms.

The meeting regarding the location
of silk mill which it was thought
would be held tomorrow evening has
been postponed until next Monday
night, the committee not being able
to obtain the use of the hall before
that date. In reply to a question as to
the nature of the proposition made by
the firm Attorney II. d. Carey, chair
man of the committee, stated last eve
ming the town can secure the throw
ing and silk weaving factory by donat-
ing them five lots, generating them
from taxes for period Of ten years and
advancing the money for the erection
of a three-story brick building esti-
mated to cost $4,000. The firm will
secure the money by first mortgage
bonds upon the property, paying per
cent. interest maturing 20 per cent. in
five years, 25 per cent. in seven years
and so per cent. in ten years. The
firm now have large plant in Patter-
son, n. j., and the proposed plant for
which they are seeking a location will
be a branch of the Patterson factory
In the latter place they employ 400
hands, and the new plant in starting
out would give employment to about
$50 hands, mostly boys and girls. While
the amount of money needed appears
to be a large sum, other towns are
making similar offers and it now rests
with the people of the borough wheth-
er they will accept the proposition and
secure the industry. The committee
are anxious to have a large attendance
