| Miss Helen Gould has given up almost
every pleasure or recreation to devote her

accordance with requests OF the hremen
| and policemen to Miss Gould after the Ho-
| tel Windsor fire to call upon them at any
| time in any capacity in which they might
aid her they have received their call. And
| they have responded with spontaniety.
| Miss Gould wrote to the heads of both de-
! partments asking that the men lend their
| influence in spreading the anti-Mormon pc
| titions among voters. She received encour-
| aging letters in reply, and also from the
| adjutant of the Association of Spanish war
| Veterans. -Four members of Congress from
! Kansas have written to her that they are

several other congressman whose names

cording to the League for Social Service of

| eIr. oliver IseIin's plans.
| 1t is announced definitely that Mr.. and
| Mrs c. oliver Iseln will sail for England
ron December g. and that they intend To
spend several months abroad. There is
| every reason to believe. 1t has been learned
| on good authority, that Mr.. lselin's trip
| across the ocean is to arrange for the en-
| try of the Columbia in The Mediterranean
| spring regatta. Mr.. 1selin will not cor
| roborate this report, however. 1t is said
| he will meet Sir Thomas Upton in Europe.
| and that it is possible another race be
| tween the Columbia and Shamrock may be
| arranged for. Creoence is given to this re
] port because it has been learned that j.
| Pierpont Morgan will be in Europe during
| the winter, and will join the two Yachts
men at a conference The Columbia will
| be kept at Hawkins ship yards until the
| owners reach some definite decision about
| future contests. The rigging and other
| racing paraphernalia have been stored
| near by so that the racer can be put III
| shane for a foreign voyage at short notice.
| There is a general report among the yacht
| clubs along the northern shore OF the sound
| that the Deer Island sailors We're informed
| before they left for home to be ready TO
| report for duty at most any time during
| the winter.
| Young VanderbiIt's Inventions.
| Cornelius Vanderbilt has another inven
| ton. He will soon send the drawings to
| Washington and take out patent. The
| idea is for a new kind of freight car for Ger
| tain special classes of freight. His a.sSo-
| GATES in the office of the superintendent Of
| motive mower know only that much. The
| new heivier freight car. with lis capacity OF
| about double that of the old, has worked
| quiet revolution in equipment olhces- Inc
| new cars when drilled with the old ones,
| soon make matchwood of them. and the car
| builders working over time to replace
| the old cars with modern ones. 1t Is in his
| new field that the genius OF young Wander
| bit is called into play. He himself admit
| that his talents do not run along the lines
| of financial mana cement, and that he much
| prefers to distinguish himself as a pracu-
! cal railroad man. President Galloway, Mr..
| DepeW and Treasurer RosSiter, all friends
| of his fathers, have watched the develop
ment of the sons character with delight.
| His freight design, when completed.
| will be his first patent. His new firebo-.,
| with which severa of the company's new
| locomotives are being equipped, IS not
| really a patentable device.
| American Becomes Countess.
| Very few of the four hundred who at
| tended the horse show were aware that for
| a few moments the Count and Countess
| Won Vriedenberg of Vienna were there.
| Few, indeed. recognized the countess, for
merly Mrs. r. w. L. AnnoUetti. who was
| one of New Yorks most beautiful women.
| Her first husband was 7. W. l.. Annouetu,
who died about seven years ago, leaving
| her large estate near Perth Amboy. and
| a mansion 9Th avenue, where they lived.
Immediately after her second marriage
| Countess Nriedenberg went to Austria
| with her husband. They lived at Nriedcn
| castle, the estate Of the count. Love for
her old home grew stronger by absence,
| and now she and the count are here to cs-
| tabIish a home. The count will erect
castle like the one in Austria, and the
| American home will, far possible, be
| like his place in his native country. This
was one Of the conditions Of the marriage
| part of his life in America and maintain
| there a permanent residence. 1t is gener
| ally understood that the count, who is
| wealthy has settled a very large income
| on the counteSs-some estimate il to he

| Printers Experiments in Farming.
Last spring tract of land of 1856 acres
| in New Jersey was leased by the land COM
| mittee of Typographical Union No. 6, Big
| Six" to give a home to those members of
| the organization who either unem-
| ployed too old to work at their trade
The chairman of the land committee came
to live on the farm to give 1t his persona |
supervision. Soon fifty workers were on
the farm, each with his little plot of
| ground newly planted and the chance to
make out of it what he could. In less than
two months it was gratifying to see the
Improvement of the farm hands since
they had left Park Row and Chambers
street Men whe used to hang around, out
of work, dead broke" sick and almost
helpless, We're living comfortably in good
| health, with regular occupation, and as
sured the full fruits of their labors. A
month ago, just when the summer crops
were in full fruition, Professor E. B. Voor-
hees of the New Jersey state agricultural
experiment station visited the farm He
said he had not seen anything to surpass
the work of the printers anywhere in the
state. This statement pleased the men for
few of the fifty men on the farm ever had
handled hoe before. This explained
to Professor voorhees,, and he was sur
prised still more. He explained that the
printers exceled because they brought into
the undertaking great intelligence, COM
bined with energy. industry and persever-
ance Notwiths anding the severe droughts
of the early summer. the present crops are
more than double those of any other
farmer in the vicinity. The prize patch of
corn and potatoes was that 'farmed'' by
Joe Connors and labeled Slug T." Next
year moreS land will be acquired
On Thanksgiving day and Christmas day
