WOMEN AS BooTBLAcKs.
Dot Parkhurst, of New York, Opens
Shoe Shining ParIor

IA,
Shoe Shining PnrIor.
Women have entered all sorts of pro-
LESSONS and business enterprises once
peleved to be exclusively the domain of
the sterner sex, says the Brooklyn
Eagle. The field of invasion is steady
growing and one of the pioneers in cor
ner which has hitherto been monopo-
lied by the darkey and the son Of SUNNY
Italy Is Brooklyn woman. The Cole
man shoe shining parlor at AZ West
Iwenty-second street, in the heart of
Manhattans shopping district is owned
and operated by Dot Parkhurst, who
has been known for years in this Dor
'ougn by reason of her prominence In the
performances of some of the leading
amateur dramatic organizations.
Miss Parkhursts mother was formerly
an amateur actress of some note, and the
promoter of this new venture is a niece
or j. Sloat Fassett, although she makes
no effort to have the fact known, as she
prefers to depend entirely on her own
efforts for the success which already
promises to reward her departure from
the beaten track.
Miss Parkhurst is known among her
friends in this borough as of a decidedly
Self-asSert1ve character. She saws she
thought out the idea of opening a shoe
polishing establishment for women while
commenting on the trouble and embar-
rassment of having her shoes cleaned as
she wished Them on the public street,
or under the observation Of men. Being
a woman of quick action the thought
was soon followed by the deed, and she
was the first in the field in either bor-
ough, and is reaping the benefit.
The shoe shining pariors which she
opened at 40 West Twenty-second street
are furnished daintily and appropriately,
just as woman would desire. There are
lace drapertes at the windows, with car
pet on the floor, writing desk and ma
ter1als for those who wish to use them
and long distance telephone. At one
end of the room, shut off by screens, is
a platform Of Italian marble, on which
there stands six chairs. Here three small
boys polish the shoes of the patrons free
from public gaze. A manicure establish
with the shoe polishing force.
Miss Parkhurst established the place
about six weeks ago, investing consid-
cradle money in the enterprise She had
no previous experience in managing
business, but has acquired a general
knowledge, which Is serving her in good
stead.

entire Southwest is interested, and OIL

large cities.
FIELDS ARE LIMITLESS.
willie it is rather surprising that the
discovery of oil in Texas was not made
before, still this is history repeating it
self. The big Pennsylvania boom did not
come for a good many years after the
discovery. 1t is only within the past few
years that the California fields have been
developed, although the vaiue of the oil
output exceeds that of what gold ever
amounted TO. Opposite the Texas and
louisiana boundary line but few miles
water is placid even in the severest
storms. CoastWise vessels have been
in the habit of seeking this haven
for years. Sea wax is found IN
which when analysed has been
found to be composed Of bitumen and
parafhne, both products of petroleum
These indications and the uniformly good
results from the sinking of wells lead me
to believe that the oil producing industry
is vet in it's infancy in Texas, and that
greater discoveries are yet to be made
The Sour Lake yield / look to see te-
come even greater than that of the Beau

rivers OF oil that will furnish an mex
hauStible supply.
Il understand that the average life OF
an oil well is about twenty-five years in
this country, but the oil fields of Texas
bear a marked resemblance TO those of
the Baku territory of Russia, which have
been flowing for hundreds of years. The
oVerproduction cry, in my opinion, is the
veriest rubbish. Oil is going to be the
