A MODEST WOMAN.
Comes From Europe and Lays Claim to
the Stewart Millions.

Another attempt will be made to
wrest from the heirs of Judge Hilton
some of the millions A. +. Stewart
gathered The new claimant, a woman,
has arrived in New York from Rou-
mania.
She is Augusta Macesco, and her hus-
band is the president of the supreme
court at Bucharest Nine. Macesco has
been working for several years to OBJ
tain evidence of her claim that she is
blood-relation of A. T. Stewart. She
has accumulated large stack of docu-
ments in Paris, in Ireland and in the
United States, which she alleges prove
the justice of her claim
Nine Macesco was born in Paris
fifty-four years ago. Her father, she
says, was James Stewart, and her
mother was Eliza Wharton. These
facts are attested by her certificate of
birth and by other documents, she as
serts.
When Nine. Macesco was scarcely a
year old her father, manager Of his
nephew's business in Paris, returned
to New York with his wife.
The little girl, according to the docu-
ments, was brought up by woman
who is still living and who received
money from an unknown person for
the maintenance and education of the
child.
| In 1868, when Augusta was about
nineteen years old, the premises at No
| 80 Rue des Posses St Victor were
bought for her and the title placed in
her name.
She was married when young to Mr.
Macesco, a lawyer of Bucharest, who
accumulated wealth.
When Nine. Macesco conceived the
idea of going to the United States and
making fight for a share of the Stew
art millions, she was bitterly opposed
by her husband. The Roumanian
courts finally gave her the required
permission.
A search for the record of the mar
rage of James Stewart and Elizabeth
Wharton has been fruitless.
James Stewart and his wife sailed
from Boston for Europe. SO much Is
known, but the passenger lists for thai
year have vanished.
All of the suits against the Stewart
estate have failed because kinshir
could not be shown.
Nine. Macesco and her attorneys say
they have spent large sums of money
in collecting evidence.
The death of Judge Hilton interfered
with their plan Of battle, but they de.
clare themselves confident and that
they will make the hardest fight that
has yet been waged to recover part Of
the fortune.

CHILDLESS

Dlank-yerse poem filling a page in
the Januery Century is signed by Ste
pnen Phillips, the young English poet,
VINO has just produced a poetic drama
with success. 1t begins thus:
All, barren! to go barren to the grave,
Have not in my thought trained lit
tie feet
10 venture, and taught little Inns to
move
Until they shaped the wonder of a
word?
am long practised. Oh, those chill
dren mine,
Mine, doubly mine, and vet | cannot
touch,
Hear, see them! Does great God ex-
pect that /
snail clasp his air and kiss his wind
forever?
And the eternal budding cometh on.
Inc burgeoning, the cruel fowering
At night the quickening splash of
rain, at dawn
The cali of the young bird, finds out
my heart,
And any babe tossed UP before my
eyes
With ripples of wild laughter pierces
Still /. amid these sights and sounds,
starve on.

Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, one of her
majesty's principal secretaries of
state" The paper also gives the fol-
lowing interesting particulars in con-
neetion with the matter. Ii is only, il
says, as a matter of practice and con-
Venience that the various depart
ments of state have been placed under
the immediate supervision and control
OF one of the statesmen who hold the
office of principal secretaries of state
Originally there was only one secre-
tary of state. There arc now five: The
home, colonial, war, Indian, and
foreign secretaries. The power of each
secretary of state is, however, theo-
retically coordinate, and embraces
not only his own department, but
1.-THE departments controlled in practice
by his colleagues. Till 1858 there was
no Indian secretary. Indian matters
before the mutiny came under the
cognizance of the colonial secretary.
An Englishman who is opposed to the
policy of his government in the Trans
vaal matter sends to a Londen paper
the following quotation from Benja-
min Franklin: There is no difference
between a man who robs by himself
and one who robs in a gang, and ma
ton which wages an unjust war is
gang of robbers and not a nation"
What will probably be one of the
most imposing pilgrimages of recenI
years to Rome is to leave Londor
about the middle of next month. 1t
has been organized by the Catholic
association, and the earl of Denbigh
has taken very earnest and practi-
cal interest in It. Rev. F. Bannen,
rector of an Italian church, and SUI
Iperior of the Pious Society of Mis-
sions, is to conduct the pilgrimage,
and it is the intention of the pilgrims
to present a substantial Offering OF
Peters pence to the pope.
The Manchester (England) corpora
ton has conferred the freedom of the
city on Mrs. Rylands, who is, it is
said, the first woman ever admitted to
such an honor. And she eminently
deserves the distinction, for ia spend
ing about 81, 250, 900 for library build
ing to house the great Althorpe collec-
ton, which Macaulay described as the
finest in England, she made noble
benefaction which any city should feel
pride in acknowledging The library
of the Spencer family, which the
building is to contain, is in itself
priceless possession. Manchester has
reason to be proud of herself as a COM
mercial city, but still more reason to
be proud of her long roll of public
spirited citizens. The chief glory of the
library is its extraordinary collection
of early printed books and photograph
ical curiosities. 1t contains 81 genuine
Caxtons, and all the earliest Latin
bibles are there. The "St. Christopher"
of 1923 is the earliest known piece of
dated printing, and the two indulg-
ences of 1854 and 1455, which are in
the collection, are the first two pro-
auctions from movable type. There
was at one time a danger of England
losing this notable and unique library,
as a group of Americans, it is related,
cast longing looks upon it and made
the big offer of S1,500,O0 for it.

more than anything in here" and he
laughed
We then passed. through the second
idrrawing room, now lit by electric
lights hidden in the rounded ceiling.
Indeed, Admiral. you ought to be
proud of your drawing-rooms They
are certainly the most interesting in
the country. Mrs. Dewey must have
perfect taste"
she has. she has" readily assented
the Admiral, as we passed into the
ldining-room, into which the light
came. softened. through the rich stain
ed glass windows. In one corner was
the most magnificent specimen of
taxidermy l have ever seen-a beauti-
ful light-brown bird--a Filipino" as
the admiral told Outstanding with
graceful, outspread wings, measuring
some five feet across. The room itself
is hung in warm tones of red, and
rich mahogany furniture adds an air
of beauty and elegance. AS we stood
conversing for moment someone
mentioned pictures, and Immediately
the admirars artistic soul revealed it
self
Let me show you some of my pic
lures. They are almost all artists
proofs. | like them much better than
tinted pictures" And we again entered
the front drawing-room, wandering
with the admiral from one choice en-
craving to what seemed to be his IA
vorite.
Let me see If can't get better
light on this" and he turned ON an
electric light near the picture.
| "This is the Stlrrup Cup. Very pref
ty, isn't 1t? And It's signed by the
artist"
AS the admiral stood there, his
hand resting on the open piano and the
genial smile lighting up his face. 1t
seemed the most favorable oppor-
tunity to obtain our hearts desire.
"Oh, Admiral! would it be too much
to ask you for your autograph"
why, no. Certainly l will give 1t
to you" he said, smiling Stepping to
the door he called
"Amah! Amah!"
The little Japanese valet appeared
at once.
GO to my desk and bring me three
autographs which / placed there this
morning"
He then returned to us with the
morning paper in his hand.
Il sent for this to see the account
of the presentation of the cup" And
he then read us the account, together
with his graceful little speech OF
thanks, on which we complimented
him highly. But Amah had returned,
and the admiral took the autographs
and presented them to us.
"Oh, Admiral! | love your writing!"
said my companion.
She loves it," echoed the admiral
turning to his brother-officer and
laughing heartily
But like all pleasant things, our
visit was to have an end, so we re-
luctantly shook hands with the ad-
miral, apologizing for having taken up
so much of his valuable time and
thanking him for his extreme kind
ness to us. AS we passed into the hall
think the admiral must have noticed
my side-long glances at the mysteri-
Gus book, for he said, laughing:
This is a rather large book, but
it's all full of newspaper cuttings OF
the war"
Another farewell, and we passed
again into the outer world, carrying
with US our precious autographs and
delightful memories of our too short
visit.
