ELIZABETH THOMPSON,
Passing of the Only woman s'F
Granted Freedom OF Floor
In Congress.

Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, whose
death at Littleton, n. H., was an
nounced recently, was born IN vermont
in 1921, being the daughter of poor
farmer. She began life as a maid OF
all work, but in 1S43 she attracted the
attention of Thomas Thompson, a Bos-
ton millionaire, to whom she was mar
ried in 1874. He was man of markedly
philanthropic character, and when his
estate came into her hands at his death
in 1869 she followed his example in
contributing freely TO all worthy ehari-
ties. says the Boston Transcript.
She spent large sums in the cause OF
temperance and expended a fortune IN
helping heads of families who had met
with misfortune. She devoted $4,000
to the investigation of yellow fever.
She spent nearly 100000 in providing
openings in business for men with fam
lilies. She founded the town of Long
Mont, at the foot of the Rocky noun
tains, giving CAS- acres of land and $500
to each colonist in Saline county, Kan,
and contributed largely to the purchase
of the Nassar college telescope.
Later she presented Francis b. Car
penter's painting of the signing of the
Emancipation Proclamation by Lin
coin" to congress, for which she was
granted the freedom of the floor, a
right which no other woman possessed.
She contributed large sums to the
| American Association for the Advance
ment of Science and was made its first
patron. She was strong advocate of
/ the idea of an international republic.
She was attacked by a stroke of paraly-
sis several years ago and had been in
delicate health since that time.

TRICK OF STREET ARABS.
They Initiate the Fighters of the
Stage TO Fool the Passing
Sports.

On a recent Saturday afternoon when
State street was crowded with prom
enaders two gamins reaped silver har-
vest from the cheap sports" as they
termed the victims of their ruse, says
the Chicago Tribune.
From the low comedians at the vau-
deyille show they had learned the knaek
of striking and receiving the stage
blow. As the initiated are aware, the
report is produced by clapping the
hands, and the hand of the victim has
tily applied to the eye gives the appear
ance OF the BLACK eye" thrust.
As soon as the boys spied some we'll
dressed and pompous Saturday after
noon sports approaching they fell to
and belabored each other in the genu-
inc vaudeville stage manner. Blow after
blow resounded, and each in turn
WINGED with simulated pain. The men
rushed up and separated the young
sters, who burst into laughter and ex-
posed their trick. Then they demanded
a contribution from the sold" and
generally they received it. When the
victims had passed on and peace reigned
again the urchins laid in wait for anoth-
er soft mark" and repeated the per-

FIRST FLOWER MISSION
The sweet Charity Was Instituted in
Boston Thirty Years Ago by
Helen Tinkhnm.

To the inspiration of Miss Helen w.
Tinkham, of Boston, the missions for
the distribution of flowers among the
poor, the sick and the aged in cur cit
les owe their origin. Thirty years ago
the first flower mission WAS formed,
with Miss Tisl;ham at its head, and
she has ever since been identified with
the work, says Ladies' Home journal.
In the spring of 1869 Miss Tinkham
spent a few days in the country, re-
joieing in the flowers that burst into
fragrant bloom under the magical
breath OF April. Upon returning TO
Boston she observed with what visit
full eyes the children playing about the
railroad station viewed the flowers she
brought with her. and how eagerly they
accepted those she offered tbcnl This
incident led her to urge the church
going people to cooperate in collect
ing and distributing flowers. A meet
ing was held and the work soon start
ed. Boston is, therefore, the birthplace
of the flower missions. a form of ehari-
~ which has extended to every section
of this country, and crossed the Attain

They Chip Pieces OF the Washington
Monument and Pay Well
for Them.

Col. Bingham, superintendent of
public buildings and grounds, who has
charge of the Washington monument,
says one of the greatest troubles the
watchmen at the monument have to
contend with is the chipping Of these
memorial stones by relic hunters. zone
of the strangest things in regard to
these relic hunters" said Col bingham,
sis the fact that more than one-half OF
the men arrested for chipping off relics
are elergymen. When the police arrest
these despoilers and start with them
to the station house, says the New
York Mail and Express, the man will
begin 20 ask what is the penalty and try
to beg off. He is told that the fine is a
heavy one, but that $15 security can
be put up for appearance in the police
court. Then the prisoner explains that
he is minister of the Gospel and meant
no harm, and that he could not stand
the disgrace of appearing in police
court. He ends up by giving up the
collateral, after generally trying to cut
it down to ten dollars, saying he has
only that amount with him."
