A FEMALE CHAPLAIN.
UNIQUE DISTINCTION POSSESSED
BY A WYOMING WOMAN.
Mrs. May Preston Slosson Enjoys Rare
Fame Among Her - and
UnAssuming But Jealous In Behalf
of the Unfortunates In Stripes.

The proposed removal of the peni-
tertiary at Laramie, Wyo., to Rawlins,
calls attention to the fact that the in
stitution possesses the unique distinc-
ton Of having the only woman chap
lain in the United States, if not, in
deed, in the world. The chaplain is
Mrs. May Preston Slosson, wife of the
vice president of the University of
Wyoming, and for over two years she
has presided over the spiritual well
fare of the convicts imprisoned at
Laramie.
Mrs. Slosson is a quiet, modest,
u~nassuming little woman just fitted for
the work she has chosen. Rain or
shine, she is at her post in the chapel
each Sunday, having rarely missed a
service during her two years of work.
Neither the bleak winds or binding
snow of winter, nor the shimmering
heat Of summer have suffiCed to keep
her away from the prison and the men
who so eagerly watch from the graf
ed windows OF their lonely cells for
her coming.
Mrs. Slosson, besides being the only
woman prison chaplain, was the first
woman to receive the degree of Phi. d.
at Cornell University. graduating well
up toward the head of a class of young
men. She was born at lion, n. Y, in
the early COS, but went with her pa
rents to Kansas when she was a small
girl. From the village school she went
to Hillsdale College. Michigan, where
she took the degrees B. S. and NJ. s..
thence to Cornell. completing the three
years post graduate course in two
years. All this before she had reached
the age of 81. For a little while she
held the chair OF Greek in a Presby-

So
Very naturally the social events o.

guests present at the magnificent In

sion here on Wednesday and Thursday
Those in attendance were indeed wei

The most notable event Of the week
was the reception given by the Rath'

Supreme Chancellor Fethers of the
Knights of Pythias. This function oc'

being from s to 1890 O'Clock. The
night was indeed a tempestuous one.
but once within the brilliant rooms
the bowling blizzard without was for
gotten. The dining ROOF was artist
cally decorated with festoons of crepe
paper, pink, white and green being EN-
ployed, and chrysanthemums carna'
tons, roses and ferns in the same tints
were used in p%rofusion. Miss Maize
Chaplin greeted the guests at the
door. and presented them to the receiv.
ing party, which included besides Mrs
Fethers and Mrs. Chaplin, Mrs. Prof
Lee, Mrs. Prof. Roberts. Mrs. DR.. vii
son and Mrs. Fisher. In spite of the
inclemency of the evening, thirty OF
soon all semblance of formality was
dropped, and a period of genuine socia
bility ensued Dainty light refresh
ments were gracefully served in the
dining room by Misses Chaplin, Hooke
and Baillie. An impromptu musical
program was an enjoyable feature Of
the evening, vocal numbers being rem
dered by Mesdames Gibson, Langheldt
and Hodgeman and Miss Laura Lee
and instrumental selections by Mes
danes Greenbaum and Lee. Later in
the evening a number of the ladies
went to Maennerchor hall to witness

WITH THE TRAPPERS.
Winsted the Center for Trappers in
This Section.

Winsted the Center for Trappers il
This Section.
! Few people realize the amount OF
money there is made by the trappers OF
| fur bearing animals in northwestern
! Connecticut and southern Berkshire
county, for which Winsted Is the sell
ing and shipping point, but even those
who engage in trapping and hunting
could make more money if they got
their furs to market earlier in the sea-
son, when there is a greater demand
for the furs by the manufacturers and
prices are higher.
Some of the most successful trapperS
have got a notion in their heads of
keeping the furs on hand until they get
big lot, but they don't seem to realize
that the price drops toward spring, as
the furs must be carried over until an
other year before they can be sold to the
Wearer.
Trappers, as rule, delight to congre-
gate around the country store and talk
of their big strings, when, in reality,
they ought to be concerning themselves
about selling them. There are some
who bring in big loads to Winsted eve
ry year and carry back from one hum
bred to several hundred dollars for per-
haps a few weeks work.
The principal furs taken around
here are mink, coon red and gray fox,
skunk, muskrat and wildcat. There are
few otter taken. One dealer shipped
five hundred skunk skins one season.
Following are the latest quotation for
skins:
Mink, 20 cents to $780,
Red fox, 10 cents to $500.
Gray fox, 10 to rs cents.
Coon, 10 cents to $1.00.
Skunk, 10 cents to $1.50.
Muskrat, to u cents.
Otter $500 to $1,000.
Wildcat, 20 to IS cents.
House cat (black), 20 cents.
House cat (other colors) s cents.
Foxes and 'eoons are shot, but skunks
and minks are taken by steel traps and
dead falls. A good many practice the
method of digging out skunks, which is
a bad thing, as it will result in the ex-
termination of the little fellows, If con-
tinued for females are mostly the vic
Tins when dug out, and you can see
how it will end A skunk fur is much
than a mink, and if as
scarce as minks would bring as high a
price Over in the eastern part of the
state q we'll known dealer makes a
shipment of two to three hundred dol
ars' worth to Boston weekly during the
Citizen.

BEADS AND THEIR USES.

Sir Edwin Arnold Talks on Their ORR

can Traffic.
"The great and mysterious Goddess
Of Fashion has, for some reason best
known to herself, decreed that beads
should come into vogue again., says
Sir Edwin Arnold "That commanding
whisper which comes from no visible
source, and yet is heard and obeyed
everywhere, has passed through the
world of womankind; and the obser-
want may already notice strings of
many colored beads appearing on the
pecks and breasts, the wrists and tress-
es, of the fair votaries of the goddess
In this her edict she goes back to a
mode never really out of favor since
humanity first took to self-1govern-
ment Beads are certainly the most
ancient of all forms of the bedecking of
the body, unless We except the field
end forest blossoms which the maids
ana matrons of the Flint and Bronze
periods may have fixed in their tangled
locks, or wood and other dyes But in
many parts of the earth beads are as
important to millions of people as they
ever We're and for the simple and suffi-
cient reason that nothing can be pref
tier than the bright contrasted colors
of them on a dark skin, may, or even a
fair one. What artist does not value
the delicious effect of string of flat
tened blue Venetian beads upon the
snowy throat of blonde, or the splen-
did display of tint to be got from a row
Of rose red coral or sunlit amber softly
glittaring upon a dusky bosom?
Nobody knows who first invented
beads. Perhaps it was some primitive
savage who found nuts or oak gals in
the forest drilled by the woodwork and
threaded them together on a stalk of
grass, Anything and everything with
a hole in it served at the beginning for
beads-coWrie shells, fish teeth, Saws

at the general conduct of the hospital

Following is summary of the work
during the year:
Number Of patients admitted, 1924;
number treated, 1869; showing an in
| crease Of 1876; the number discharged
was 1,069, an increase of 1866 over the
past year The largest number Of
patients in any one day was LAT, and
the smallest was SO.
The current receipts for the year
We're $59,03466; the current expenses,
$65, 1904; funds received from Sunday
hospital collection, 81 1854.
There has been also during the year
n N
the amount Of $4,000.
The number of ambulance calls was
351. The Increase in receipts over
those of 1899 were $2,112.62; the in
crease In expenses, $2,6l9.21 the in"
crease in ambulance calls was ST.
There was a decrease in the amount
Of Sunday hospital collections of
$195.12.
The report states that the deficit
for 1900 was S12,7155o, an increase
over 1899 Of $l,57S.59. From the charity
funds, l. e., the Marrett, Clifford and
English, 213 patients were treated. The
total cost was $20,299.55, OF this
amount $685. "A was paid by the patients
and the balance, $19,63611, drawn from
the fund.
The increase in the expenditures is
accounted for by the advance in the
cost Of supplies, use Of water and other
things. Coal, for instance, cost 40 per
cent and ice nearly 1903 per cent. more
than formerly The most serious ele-
ment of advance in cost is that of food,
the daily cost Of which has averaged
"a $40 per inmate. There has been
along this line a steady advance for
the last FIVE years, the average per pa
tient in 1896 being 2g $40.
