A Tribute to a woman.

Philadelphia has lost by the death Of
Mrs. Gillespie, one Of its most distin-
guished and most useful citizens We are
accustomed TO speak thus only Of men:
yet there are few men among us who real
ize the responsibilities and opportunities
Of citizenship as did this earnest, energet-
ic woman, whose forceful personality will
be missed in many important fields of
civic activity. She had many of the quail
ties that made her great-gra ndfather CBen-
jamin Franklin) the foremost Phladel-
phian of his day-the wide range Of inter

no small part of Franklin's power II

Being woman, she showed what a Wo-
man may do for the community. not with

FACED PERILS IN ALASKA.
Return from Northern WiIds of Mem
bers of the Geological Survey.

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct 1S.-After touring
thousands Of miles through Alaskan wilds,
constantly facing dangers Of every descrip-
ton, three parties of men sent to the
north last spring by the geological survey
have returned on the steamship st. Paul.
A majority of the members Of the party
will proceed at once to Washington, where
data and information secured on the trip
will be embodied in government statistics,
maps and reports. The three parties oper-
ated in different sections Of Alaska. One,
led by I. G.. Garder and a. 3. Collier, sur
veyed the unknown country north of Nome.
A second, headed by w. j. Peters, made
a complete investigation of the district
lying between Koyukuk river and the
Arctic coast and Point Barrow The third
party operated in the interior country
bounded by the Little KOyukuk Dall, Old
man and Kobuck rivers. A fourth party,
captained by A. II. Brooks, worked in
southwestern Alaska and has not yet re-
turned
At times the exploring parties were as
much isolated from civilization as was Ex-
plorer Stanley in the interior of darkest
Africa.
For months no white men outside the
members or the parties were seen, and
they were surrounded by thousands OF
miles OF dreary stretches of uninhabited
country. The party led by T. @. Gardner
and \. j. Collier secured accurate geolOgi-
cal data OF the country north of Nome.
Peters's party reached kOyukuk river in
the spring. They explored the treacherOus
river and headed for the shores OF the
arctic north. The trip was continual
round of hardships and exposures. The
supplies and instruments were carried on
the mems backs. The men say the party
lost an its supplies by the Overturuing of
the boats In the rapids on Old Man river.
They succeeded i'm reaching Burgoman

Diet for the Thin Sister.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
1t is a logical deduction that the foods
from which the fleshy person must alb
stain are the ones which are beneficial to
the thin one. An authority gives this regi-
men: IF possible have a cup of cocoa or
chocolate before rising For your break
fast have eggs, poached or boiled; cut
lets, chops or steak; a cup of coffee
and some fruit; but do not neglect the
eggs.
AT dinner have soup, meat and fish, ac-
cording to your taste; but be sure to nave
rice, macaronb potatoes, cauliflower. as
paragus-indeed, all vegetables. Avoid
acids. although salads are good.
Choose desserts that are sweet, espe-
cially those containing milk and eggs.
Grapes are said to be fattening, and sugar
undoubtedly is.
DO not take cold baths nor indulge in
very violent exercise. Sleep as much as
possible, and do not allow yourself To be
exceedingly interested in anything which
VIII cause you to worry"
Physicians say that if this regimen is
carefully carried out the thinnest woman
may attain the desired plumpness, pro-
Vided she has no deep-seated disease.
1t will be seen that all foods containing
flour, starch, sugar or fat are advised, pro-
viding the digestion offers no bar If the
digestion of any Of these constituents is
less as fattening agents, for they fail to
be properly assimilated. Happily the list
OF hesh-prOducihg foods is long enough to
allow liberal choice in the matter.
All foods should be slowly masticated, in
order to be easily digested. Care and grief
should be allowed no place at the table
Condiments and highly-spiced sauces
should be avoided. A merry laugh is SUI
perior to pepsin~ tablets for indigestion.
'Mirth is Gods medicine" said Or. Oliver
Wendell Holmes.
Do not overeat, but eat all the appe-
tite demands with judgment Three meals
a day with light luncheon between, il
craved, are permissible, taking care only
that the light repast is not near enough
the solid meal to spoil the appetite for it.
Milk is very fattening, and where it
agrees with one, two quarts a day are
recommended. If taken cold, IL should
be slowly slipped, as it forms into curds
when it reaches the stomach, and if in
a large mass it is less easily acted upon
by the gastric juices. A tablespoonful of
Hmewater in a goblet Of milk will prevent
its causing bilOusness. Nichy. brandy, or
a pinch OF salt will also perform the same
service.
Hot milk is much more easily digested
than cold, and taken just before going to
bed quiets the nerves and nourishes the
system 1t should be heated just short of
boiling before being drunk.

Franklin Webster Smith wha has gained

Case OICO|Ond Russell B. Harrison
Still. Demanding Court of
Inquiry.
War Department Says There Are
No Changes Against Him.

1t appears that Adjutant-General Oorbin
is responsible for the commOtiou which has
been aroused in some quarters by the per.
sistent refusal of Russell B. Harrison's de
mand for court of inquiry to clear up his
military record. Secretary Root says there
is nothing on the official records of the De
partment to Mr.. Harrison's discredit. The
story goes that private letter, said to have
been aoritten by general officer under whom
Harrison served to Gen Corbin, made
reference to Harr sons inefficiency. Cor
bin sent telegram to Harrison, in reply
to an inquiry as to the cause of his dis.
charge, saying he was accused by his superior
of beng inefficient; he neglected to mention
that the charge was in private letter.
Col. Harrison has gone on the assumption
that it was an official Charge, and hence
has persisted in his demand for ''vindcation.'
AS there was nothing in evidence of which
to "vindicate" him, the Department has
steadily denied bis appeals.
