the genial old lady whose interest in the
worlds affairs is still keen.
Susan B. Anthony, who was born in Mas
sachusetts in 1920, has stood forward promi-
nently in the woman's suffrage movement,
having experienced in her own case the
commercial inequality between the sexes
when, in her earlier years, she was teach
ing school for SIS a month, while a man in
the other school of the village was receiv-
ing $45. From that day she has been a
worker for woman's rights, though her in
terest in hat cause did not prevent her
labOring with Phillips and Garrison for nine
years against slavery, nor has it weakened
in latter times her efforts in the cause of
temperance.
The old Bay state claims as daughters
two other American women known all over
the world for their work in charity. Mary
A. Livermore was born in Boston eighty
two years ago, ten years before the birth
of Clara Barton, who was to work with Ter
in so many of her enterprises.
Mrs. LivermoTe, beginning life as a
school teacher, first became known to the
world through her labors with the SAM
tary commission in the dark days of the
civil war. She identified herself also with
the temperance and anti-slavery move
ments, worked hard to further the cause of
women's clubs, is the author of half a
dozen volumes, has edited several papers,
and has lectured not only in America, but
in England and Scotland.
Clara Barton, who also began life as a
teacher, is identified as is no other woman
in the world with the work of caring for
the sick and wounded. In 1865 she was
voted SIS, 900 by special act of congress
for what she did on the battleields in the
south. In 1870, during the conflict be-
tween France and Germany, she was pres
ent on the fields of battle to alleviate suf-
fering. Her work in Cuba won for her the
title of The Adopted Daughter" from the
latest republic to take it's seat at the coun-
ell of nations.
The disasters that have come in years of
peace have known her presence also. In
1884, at the time of the great floods of the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers, Red Cross
workers, with their president at their head,
distributed supplies throughout the devas-
tated districts. Five years later, when

such a book from intimate knowledge.
In America are living three grand old
women who may look back upon days of
brilliancy and power from retirement al
most complete.
Mrs. Bette" cambridge, the niece of
Zachary Taylor, who in 1919, a mere girl Of
"A years, was mistress If the White House,
is living in Winchester, Va. it is given to
few women to be married at - and within
eighteen months to be both widow and
orphan. 1t is given to yet fewer to retain
when the S7th birthday is so near such
splendid health as is that of the mistress
of this center of old-time southern hospi-
tality.
Mrs. Jefferson Davis does not enjoy this
blessing of continued health. She has
never quite recovered from her serious
illness of last sumner, nor has she ever
been her old self since the death of her
daughter, Narina, the daughter of the
confederaCy' some years ago. She passes
her time at the cottage of her friend, Mrs.
Joseph Pulitzer, at Bar HarboT or at one
of the quiet New York hotels.
On the western edge of the continent at
Los Angeles there is living a gracious,
charming old woman of rs, Mrs. John c..
Fremont. She, too, is an invalid, with a
mind undimmed by the passing of the years
and an unfaltering devotion of her famous
husband. When Jessie Benton, the daugh-
ter of the great senator of Missouri, ran
away from Washington to marry the young
lieutenant who was to write his name in
history as the pathfinder she was known
to all the country for her brilliancy and
beauty. For years after her popularity
was phenomenal. Daughters and dolls and
dogs without number were named after
her, yet today the white-haired, pale-faced
old woman living alone with SO brave a
spirit in her rose-cOvered little house is
practically forgotten by the nation which
received from her husband the gift of a
state. For herself she does not seem to
care, but she is keenly jealous of the fame
Of her husband. 'Pathfnders die, but the
paths remain open," she SAYS.
1t is only a short step from those who
have actually ruled on the worlds stage
to those who rule on the mimic stage be-

Johnstown was overwhelmed in a moment,
Clara Barton was there. She was confined
to her bed at the time of the Galveston
flood in 1900, but insisted upon directing
as well as she could by telegraph the move
ments of her assistants.
England's Clara Barton is Florence Night
ingale, or Florence Shore, as her name is
entered on the baptisimal register of the
little English church in Florence, Italy,
where she was born in 1920 and from which
town she took her name. She, too, has
been q leader in Red Cross work ever since
the foundation of that organization, having
learned well her lesson years before when
she labored with two or three other Eng
lish women in the fearfully crowded hospi-
tails of the Crimea. How well they din
their work was shown in the official reports
that went back to London to tell that the
death rate had been cut down from AZ
to 2 per cent.
In those days no woman in all England
was better known or loved than the "Angei
of the Crimea." Even today Miss Night
ingale, living quietly in a retired house in
West London, is far from forgotten, for
the $3.50, 900 voted her by the English gov
eminent was not expended for her W
comfort, but went to the building of st.
Thomas hospital and the Nightingale
School for Nurses, two of the best known
charities in the English capital.
Another of the worlds grand old women
living in retirement in London is Marie
Eugene, Countess de Montijo and ex-em-
press of the French. The love of Louis
Napoleon for the beautiful daughter of a
Spanish grandee, abetted by the astute-
ness of the girls mother, as well as by her
own wit and discretion, lifted her to a
throne that had been intended for a daugh-
ter of royalty.
During the winter she passes much of
her time near Nice, from where she may
cruise at will in the Mediterranean in her
yacht. Then she goes to Paris, the scene
of her greatest triumphs and saddest hui
mutations, to consult her physician before
returning to England.
At present she is said to be at work
upon her memoirs, which are not to be
published until after her death and which
are to present not a mere collection of die
gossip and personal anecdotes, but a seri.

yond the footlights. In their ranks stand
three women famous both for their con-
summatc skill in their art and for the long
years through which they have served it.
Madame Francesca Janauschek at ~, and
Adelaide kistori at 81 are no longer on the
stage, though Mrs. Gilbert, born in 1921
in Lancashire, England, still charms her
audiences and wins their love.
The last years of Janauschek and Ristori
have been strangely different. The one has
lived through all her triumphs to know
what it is to be forgotten and in want; the
other, celebrating her S0th birthday in the
greatest theatcr in Rome, found herself
surrounded by court officials and the ia
nous men and women of all Europe. Both
have played Judith, Lady Macbeth, Phedra
and Deborah; both have given long lives
TO the profession which they have graced,
yet Janauschek is neglected and Ristori
is courted.
Mrs. Gilbert made her first appearance
en- the stage when a girl Of % as a dancer
in one of the smaller theaters in rural
England. The same year she married an
other dancer, whose name she had made
famous, and three years later they came
to America. Almost from the first she was
given the leading "old woman" characters,
and almost from the first her place in
the hearts Of those who saw her was Sc
cure. To many there is no pleasanter sight
on the American stage than the quick turns
of the head, the bright eyes, flushed cheeks
and merry little laugh of this lovable old
lady. When, a few weeks ago she entered
the stage on her eighty-frst birthday, the
ovation she received showed the esteem
in which she is held.
In the realms of literature are two names
to be mentioned-Amelia e. Barr
and Julia Ward Howe The last named Is
distinctly the Grand Old Woman Of Amer
lean Letters" For so many years she has
been closely identified with the literary life
of Boston that few know that she is a
New Yorker born QS19). Before she was
II years old she had begun her writing.
She published essays at II, but creditable
as all her work has been, her fame rests
upon her Battle Hymn OF the Republic
written in 1861, under the inspiration of
the swinging refrain of John Browns
Body" and the sight of a review Of troops
in Washington.

I Old Women" 1t is given small
- chance to forget that nearly a
hundred men, far advanced in years, are
still active in politics and statecraft, in
commerce and finance, in art, science and
letters. 1t does not often stop to realize
that a goodly number of the so-called
weaker sex are laboring with their brothers
for it's betterment. The death of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, taking away one of the most
notable of these women, calls attention to
those that are left. When they are counted
and their deeds recalled, it makes a tale
worth telling.
Trained according 10 the lights of the
earlier years of the last century these
Grand Old m are not employed in
the pursuits of business, but they figure in
the politics of the time, inluentially
though indirectly. They are playing a large
part in philanthropy, and certain of them
stand forward prominently in art and liter
ature.
The oldest of this little company is An
gela Georgiana, First Baroness Burdette-
Coutts. In another year she will be 80, and
perhaps she is the only woman of promi-
nence living today who, as she sat in West
minister Abbey and saw the crown placed
on the head of Edward VII, could remember
the cor nation of the kings mother.
The baroness, raised to the peerage in
1871, was honored by Queen Victoria not
because Of the unusual part which she
played as a partner of the great banking
house of Coutts & Co., but because of her
position as a pioneer of practical imperial
ism. 1t was she who endowed the bishop
RIGS of Adelaide, Australia, at Cape Town
and in the far west of British Columbia.
She has given to the poor more money
than any other woman in the world. At
one time she sent 81, 250, 900 to the destitute
poor of Ireland. Every Christmas 300 900
people are fed at her expense. 1t is esti-
mated that her annual gifts to various
charities amount to not less than 81, 900, 900.
Her home at West Hill, London, has be-
come the Mecca for all the charitable work.

CAMBILL WILL WATCH
 FOR SPECULATORS
Ticket Scalpers Cannot Do Business Unless They Pay City
 License.

City License Collector A. A. Gambill Is determined to break up speculating ir tickets for the Mansfield performance Thursday night unless the speculators comply with the city ordinance and pay a $50 license.
 There is so little business of this kind in Birmingham and so few plays where seats are at a premium that 1t would hardly pay the ticket speculators to take out this license. At any rate none have done so up to the present time.
 Yesterday MT. Gambill had two men ar rested charged with dealing in tickets without a license. They are Joe Hymes and A. Weinstein. They will have a hear ing before Judge Feagin next Saturday. In the meantime they have given bond.

especially book No. 6. They admit there is a copy of book No. but say 1t Is a cor rect copy and if any letters were left out it was by mistake.
 The defendants say that Mir Robinson has made himself very obnoxious to them and that defendant E. T. Schuler did charge him with "sneaking'' because he came into his private office before bus mess hours and looked over papers.
 At the conclusion of the reading of de- fendant's answer witnesses were put on the stand in behalf of the petitioner, Z T. Rudulph, who was a commissioner to take certain testimony at Joliet, H., testi- fled as to which books were produced at the hearing by defendant under subpoe- na duces tecum.
 w. J. Frazier, who was employed by the company as a bookkeeper in April 1900, and who left it's service in July 1901, testified as to the number and kind of books he kept for the company. He remembered the construction books to which he sometimes referred but could not say whether they were in existence when he left or not. They were in the pos- session of Frank Thompson the cashier all the time. It was May or June, 1901, when he last saw them.

 When he left the books were in good condition and not mutilated He told of the defendants having a stenographer copy all the letters from one letter copy book and then recopy them into a new copy book. He did not know what be- came of the old letter book This was book No. 6 and it took over a month to do the work.
 c. R. Patterson testified that he was manager of the Dispatch Printing Com pany and that in July lsJ1 they had made a new cash book for the defendants.
 The petitioner, c. D. Robinson, then took the stand. He testified as the de- mands he had made to see the books and generally to the facts set forth in his petition. He made the statement that from one of his examinations he found that the defendant, E. T. Schuler, was overdrawn on the books about $50VJ and the defendant ~. H. Shuler, was over drawn $12,91670. The case will be con- cluded today.

 meetings last night to discuss
