man. and the portrait is of her in her
youth. It was a gay, brilliant girlhood
she passed at New Haven. Senator T.
C. Platt was Yale student then. and
Mrs. Blake recalls that he was the
most graceful dancer of them all and
was possessed of manner so kindly,
courteous and polished as to be socially
a universal favorite. During the past
winter when Mrs. Blake's bill on behalf
of American women married to foreign
ers was presented in the United States
senate. Mr.. Plat paid her the compli-
ment OF himself reading it.
Mrs Blake has one of the most Wig
orous, clear and logical intelleets that
have ever wrestled upward in the cause
of woman If she had been born a man.
Lille Devereux would now be in one of
the high seats in her country's Iegisla-
tive halls or perhaps in its judiciary de-
partment. But then she would have
been lost to women, and women need
such as she is.
OF things she has written among the
best known are her lectures in answer
to Rev. Morgan Dix's Lenten discourses
in 1888. Dr. Dix attacked and reviled
the new woman fearsomely, RELOCATING
the sex back to medieval seclusion.
Lille Blake thrilled with indignation.
She rose to the occasion in set of lee
lures that excited the admiration as
well as the amusement of all who heard
them. they were so remarkable for wit
logic and eloquence. Each sentence. cut
like a whiplash. They were published
in book form under the name sfWoman's
Place Today" and a wide smile over
spread the countenances of all who
read the volume.
Socially Mrs. Blake is brilliant and
attractive, noted, too, for being always
handsomely and tastefully. gowned. To
the women who take part in public
movements-other women do not need
it-she gives this advice:

attracted recently to this distinguished
lady because of her latest achievement
for her sex in New York state-the law
allowing a married woman to have con-
troll of her own earnings and to sue on
her own account to recover them. Two
years ago a woman who went to work
every day was injured by a street car
and sued the company because of loss
of wages during the time she was alb
sent from business. Thereupon the
company's lawyers nosed out an an
Gent fishlike statute still on books of
the New York code declaring that a
married woman is the servant of her
husband. that he is entitled to all her
earnings-that. in short, what is hers
is his and what is his is his own. Be
cause of this law the injured married
woman lost her case.
The decision was a painful surprise to
Mrs Blake. Some women can talk.
Mrs. Blake while she can talk with the
best, acts. If there are two words that
express her part in helping women. they
would be practical achievement. There
must be a law made giving a married
woman her earnings. she decided. That
there might be no holes in it through
which a lawyer might creep she saw to
it that lawyer and a judge of high
standing should draft her new bill on
behalf of welded women wage earners.

ALEXANDRA AND THE NURSE.

At one of the receptions given by her
to the late Queen Victoria's nurses at
Marlborough House one old nurse-one
of the few remaining from the old
Sairey Camp regime-was sitting at a
small table having some refreshments
when the then Princess of Wales asked
her if she had all that she required in
the way of food and drink The old
lady thanked her and said that she Tx

was anxious to know what she was

am told by several authorities that
the silk coat and the separate skirt are
to take the place TO a large extent of
the tailor made suit, but I question the
accuracy of this forecast. When wo-
men find how very badly the silk coats
wear, they will gladly turn back to a
more serviceabl style of dressing. Be
sides there is an undeniable chic about
having the jacket and skirt of the same
material that no amount of frilling or
lace collars can supply.
Black etamine suits are considered
ultra smart, and this material is made
up over shiny silks in a variety of
fetching ways. Wool yelling is also
good in all colors but black, in which
it presents a mourning and rather
threadbare appearance.
Now is the time to provide your
self with dainty unlined pongee and
china silk costumes. These are a joy
forever, as they are cool. smart and,
not the least item. inexpensive A pretty
little pongee dress can be contrived
for as little as s1S. Worn with a hat
of the same shade, it may be made to
do duty for restaurant dinners, beach
parties and general occasions where it
is just as well to save ones best gowns.
The trouble with most women's sum

A CHARITY DISPENSER

Mrs Sophia Demuth of Alton. III. IS

than any woman in central or southern
Illinois on account of her official posi-

eighteen years and is also police matron
for the city and by special appointments
of Mayor A w Young special police
officer for the Alton Humane society.
Two years ago she was appointed pro-

Loss of the otel,a Peterson.

lumber freights were so high. On the
first voyage the Peterson made from
Honolulu to this port, while in ballast
she ran into a rough sea in which some

Marine Engineers Case.

PORTLAND, Oct. Ill. F. Sullivan,
C. F. Mckenzie and E. B. Huston, re-
Gently first, second and third engineers
of the steamship George w. Elder, are
no longer permitted to act as licensed
marine engineers, the local inspectors
today revoking their licenses. The in
vestigation of the local United States
inspectors regarding the strike on the
steamer George w. Elder, came to an
abrupt end today. The sudden ter
mination was caused by the refusal of
Third Assistant Engineer Huston to
testify as to his reasons for leaving the
steamer on such short notice. When he
was called to the stand he Immediately
refused to be sworn, and stated that,
acting on the advice of his attorney, he
would decline to answer any questions
that were put to him. His action left
the board with no alternative except to
revoke his license, which it did at once.
The case of the other two men was
taken under adviSement, and the testi-
mony reviewed at length, and late this
afternoon the inspectors decided to re-
woke the licenses of both Sullivan and
Mckenzie.
The charges brought against the men
by the o. r. & N. Company were based
on section 4449, revised statutes, which
forbids licensed officers to refuse duty
TO the detriment to the commerce with
out first giving their employers good
and sufficient reason for so doing.

Meyer Saved the Charter.

A representative of the lumber COM
pany which owns the schooner Fred ].
Wood, which put into Honolulu to de-
liver the alleged murderer of Captain
Jacobsen to the Federal authorities
states that Mate Meyers action in TAX
ing the vessel on to her destination in
China saved the company considerable
money and incidentally saved them the
loss of charter, as the vessel had one
to load sulphur at Hakodate, Japan
for Portland, and that if Meyer had
waited here to first communicate with
the owners this charter would have
been lost through the delay.
