she is known by many of our citizens.

land on the 18th day of August, 1903, max

. of II she went to Liverpool as a nurse
| girl in the family of Sir Henry Carnton
and went with the family in their visit
to almost every city of note in Europe,
and spent several summers on the Isle of
Man. She witnessed the procession and
! the fine decorations and gala day that
! Queen Victoria was crowned, and remem-
bers many incidents of that eventful oc-
casion as well as though it had occurred
recently, although in reality occurring 81
years ago.
She told the reporter that once she was
passing the palace and saw some lady in
the beautiful garden near the palace and
she had the children of Sir Henry earn

was a servant, approached and asked
their names, and when she was informed.
she said for them to wait a minute and
she went and picked each one a bouquet
and said to the children, TELL your NAM

on Christmas night in the year 1899. when
not a tree was left standing on the Brit

substantial was carried away by the wind
and hundreds of vessels were completely
wrecked. One child who had looked ont
of the door of her home was picked 10
by the wind and carried ten miles and
landed on a pile of hay unframed, where
she was found by those hunting her the
next day.
She was married to Mr.. Brown in 1897

Southwest Mission to the County Line
Joins the Progressive ARMY.


The recent forIna ton OF the Federation
of Mission IMPROVEMENT Clubs which en-
braces that portion oil the. Mission south
west Of Thrtieth street, and extending
TO the county line. tends TO the advance
ment of the entire section. One of the
first and most important undertakings in
connection with the objects of the Fed
Grated Clubs is TO have system Of sew
erage laid by which the whole territory
may be drained. The plan proposed by
the club is that a sewer be started at Cor
bett road and follow the line of the bed Of
Islais Greek to the east bay shore. This,
when constructed. will drain Ocean View.
Sunnyside, rWest-of-Castro and Excelsior
Heights, otherwise known as the Five
Mile and MisSion-road district
The next matter to be presented to the
Supervisors and School Directors will be
applications for appropriations to erect
schoolhoUses suited to the necessities of
the children of that district who are now
deprived of, "roper accommodations. The
club will ask for the erection of three
twelve-class buildings out of the next an
uaf~appropriation. A demand for better
streets, more light, more water mains
and positively much. better protection
against fire will be among the demands
of this new spirit of Southwest Mission
