POVERTY TO AFFLUENCE.
Peddler's Wife Heir to Fortune Of
$50O.OOO Left to Her by Her
Grandma other.

Mrs. Peter Roster, wife of peddler,
whose home is on People street, West
Hoboken, n. j., is heir to $500, 900, left
to her by her grandmother, who died
in England a short time ago. Mrs.
Roster was notified of the legacy by a
firm of English lawyers. She was in
formed that the money was left to her
and similar amount to brother, who
had been missing for several years.
She was told also that it would be nee
essary to prove definitely what had
become of her brother before the es-
tate could be settled up finally. Mrs.
Roster wrote to friends in all parts of
the world, asking about her brother.
He was located in Hamilton. Ont. The
brother and sister have arranged with
Councillor Z. j. Wicheld, of Hoboken.
to go to England next month to CON-
plete arrangements for having the
fortune transferred to them.

COINS WITH KINGS HEAD.
London Spectators WONDERING
Whether a Full Set of the Money
VIII be Issued,

Considerable curiosity exists among
spectators as to whether a complete
set of coins containing the kings head
will be issued during the coming year.
In the coronation year of her late
maiestysome Victorian coins were is
sued, but not complete set. What is
now known as the Victorian set, how
ever, was not struck until 1899, and
consisted of five-pound piece, a SOW
ereign and q half sovereign in gold and
q crown, with crowned head, called
a Gothic crown; half crown, a shil-
ling. a six-penny piece, a four-penny
piece, three-penny piece, a two-penny
piece and penny, in silver. A limited
number was issued to certain col
iectors, with unmilled edges, these
being called proofs. This course was
also followed in the jubilee issue, and
will very probably be adopted for the
forthcoming coins. These proofs are
much esteemed by collectors and In
variably fetch very high prices.

MOVE BY FRENCH WOMEN.
Progressive Suffragists Intend to
Eliminate the Title of
"MademoiselIe."

The women suffragists of Paris in
tend to wipe out the nominal distinc-
ton between married and unmarried
women. They propose to abolish the
tenn "mademoiselle" and to apply
madame" to all women alike, even
to infants Of the female sex, just as
monsieur" is now used in addressing
baby boys. -------'-------'---
The Suffrage society has issued a
proclamation to this effect calling upon
all true believers to eschew the use
of the diminutive title and to use only
madame" when speaking of or to per-
sons of the feminine gender.
Nine. Auclert, president of the So
ciety, calls attention to the habit of
Mile. Clemence Roger, Darwin's trans
lator, of refusing to open all letters
addressed with the diminutive prefix
to her name. Unmarried and married
men, she says, are alike called mon
sieur," and there is no reason why any
stigma of inferiority should attach to
the name of woman.

TO AID THE MARINER
New Equipments to Be Placed in
Lighthouses for Test.
Effort to BE Made TO Project Thirteen
Beam of Light Into sky Which
Shall BE Visible to Sailors
Thirtyto Forty Miles Distant.

An experiment of great interest to
the lighthouse system of the world
is to be made on the Diamond Shoai
lightship when it is placed on its sta
ton next December, through which
the officers of the lighthouse board
expect to project a great 13-inch beam
of light from the sea to the sky, and
visible to mariners for distance OF
30 to 40 miles. The cluster of white
electric lights now shown from the
masts of the Ightship have a visible
ity of only 10 miles, and it is proposed
that shipping passing Hatteras may
be able to pick up the light three
times this distance by the powerful
beam of light played on the heavens
from-a~ searchiight apparatus ar
ranged between the two stationary
masthead lights now displayed.
The naval secretary Of the light
house board believes If the test is sue
cessful that it will play a most inn
portant part in the lighthouse sys-
TEN, and will be applied to all light
vessels of the future. The apparatus
now being fitted to Diamond Shoal
lightship at Baltimore will project a
beam straight toward the sky and the
rolling of the ship in the rough wa
tiers of Hatteras will play it about in
wig-wag fashion, and naturally at
tract attention.
Warships have been known to main
tain communication for 30 miles by
wig-wagging their searchlights. OFF,
GERS of the lighthouse service believe
1t will be possible to employ search
light system on lightships by which
the locality of the vessel may be dis
covered so miles away under favora-
BILE weather conditions. 1t is claimed
that as guide to mariners, the new
system, throwing a 13-inch beam of
light into the sky, will be as far in
advance of the electric beacons of
the first order as the beacons were
ahead of oil lamps.
So difficult and dangerous is the
present system ofsupplying lightships
at great distance from shore with
coal and water That the LIGHTHOUSE
service has considered the advisable
ity of fitting ships in the future with
the oil lamp. The electric lights re-
quire dynamos and large quantities
of coal and water must be supplied
to maintain them. Diamond Shoal
and Nantucket Shoal lightships are
so located that it is regarded as haz.
ardous to send tender alongside

NEW BANNER FOR KING.
Made by Royal school of NeedIework
for His Pew In st. Georges
Chapel, Windsor.

The new banner of the Order of the
Garter made for the king has just
been completedat the Royal school of
needlework, where it employed ~
ladies for about two months. 1t is
worked on background of rich velvet,
being twice worked to make both sides
alike, and is about 2,a yards square.
1t is. of course, worked with strict
heraldic accuracy, the first and fourth
quarters bearing three lions PEASANT
gardant in pale-in pale signifying YER
tically over each other-in raised, en-
.bellished and embroidered cloth of
gold, on velvet ground of rich GRIM
son and gules of heraldc phrase.
The banner of the order always
hangs over the pew of the reigning
sovereign of Britain in st. Georges
chapel, Windsor. Thus this one will
replace that of the late queen, which
has been in position for GO years, and
may not be removed, according to ira
dition, until the succeeding one is
hung, so that there may be no interval
when the banner OF the order is not
suspended in its place.

INDUSTRIES OF CONNECTICUT.
Census Bureau Statistics Give Very
Interesting Array of
Facts.

The census Office has issued a state
ment giving the status of the manufac-
turing industries of the state of Con.
necticut for the census year of 1900
and making comparisons extending
back to 1850. The table shows steady
growth for all of those years. For last
year the figures are as follows: Cap
ital employed, $3l4,696,736; salaried
officials, 9,9s1; salaries, $12,2s6, $50;
average number wage earners, 176. 694;
total wages, $s2, 7S7,725; miscellaneous
expenses, $23,Os9, SO6; cost of materials
used, $1S5,641,219; value of products
S352.s24,1 LOG.
In 1850 the wage-earners numbered
50.73l, the figures given for the last
census therefore showing an increase
of 4,24s per cent. for the half century
The greatest number of wage-earners
engaged in manufactures at any one
time during the year was 212,s65, or
over 2S per cent. of the entire popula-
ton. The statement also shows that
over 90 per cent. of the entire-manu.
featuring product for the state in 1890
was produced in 81 cities and towns.
1t is stated that the capital invested
for the entire state represents the
value of land, buildings, machinery,
-etey aHd-the- live cnpitaf utilized, but
that it does not include the capital
stock of any of the manufacturing cor
porations of the state.

THE MODERN CHURCH.
DR.. RainsfOrd, Pastor Of New York
Church, Says That 1t Is a
Good Deal of n Misht,

In the eighteenth year book of St.
Georges church, Stuyvesant square,
New York, just issued, the rector,
Rev. DR.. Rainsford, takes occasion to
make plain statements to his parish
toner's, besides showing the prosper
GUS condition of the church and its
work for the year. The church has
among the vestrymen Mayor-elect
Seth Low. and j. Pierpont Morgan has
been one of its wardens since 1868. DR..
Rainsford says, among other things:
Distinctly the tide GIBBS strongly
from all forms of organic Christianity.
Multitudes of good men who used to
come to church more or less regularly
now spend Sunday in outdoor recrea-
ton. If the saloons were open-as,
in my judgment, they should beat
midday and at dinner hour, they might
keep shut at the dangerous and I'M
profitable hours during which they are
now doing their evil work. ~
"The hunger for the spiritual is not
dead among the people. The weeful
multiplicity of religious fads and
sectlets-mushroom of a night and a
day-abundantly proves this. Many
good but Informed or lop-sided peo-
pie are putting an immense fund of re-
ligious energy into organizations mis-
takenly called churches.
Explain as we may, the modern
church is good deal of a misfit, and
only the blind or ignorant or unsym-
pathetic refuse to see."
