MISS STONE IS COMING
She Will Lecture at Winona This
Summer.
Famous Missionary Will Tell of Her
Capture by Brigands-Series Of
Lectures Arranged.

WINONA, Ind. March 4-Ellen
NJ. Stone. the missionary who
was captured by brigands and re-
leased recently, will lecture at
Winona this summer. Miss
Stone has contracted to lecture
for the Chautauqua societies Of
the country during the biggest
part of the summer and 1t is un-
der this contract that she will
visit Indiana.
S. @. Dickey. secretary of the
International Chautauqua society
yesterday received a telegram
from G. G. Creegan, secretary of
the American board of foreign
missions, to the effect that Miss
Stone has cabled her acceptance
of the offer of the Chautauqua al
lance. Mr.. Dickey is general
manager of the Winona assembly
and Miss Stone will be booked to
appear here and lecture at least
one day. 1t is doubtful if she can
be detained longer, however, since
it is anticipated great demands
will be made upon her time.
Under Miss Stones agreement
with the Chautauqua alliance she
is to devote five weeks of her
time, beginning the last week Of
June, to lecture before the Chau-
tauqua societies. No definite en-
gagements have yet been made
for her, but the dates will be ar
ranged through the officers of the
alliance. Her tour of the cOun-
try will last until about the mid
die of August, giving her short
rest between lectures.
The ca6legram from Miss Stone
to Mr.. Creegan was dated from
Constantinople, showing that she
is already on her way back to
this country. She is expected
home some time in May.

WATERS ARE RECEDING
Ohio River Falling, but Traffic Will Not
be Immediately Resumed.

NEW YORK, March 5-The
danger of inundation which has
threatened the city of Patterson,
n. j., because of the freshet in
the Passaic River and the pres
sure on the dam and mill-race
gates above the falls seemed to
have passed completely, but it
will be several days before the
flooded portions of the town are
clear of water, and it may be con-
siderabls more than a week be-
fore the mills are able to resume
work.
At Pittsburg the waters in the
river have dropped below the
danger line and the food of 1902
is a thing of the past. The last
reading of the marks showed 21.8
feet and falling at the rate of 2
feet an hour.
Thousands of men have return
ed to work and by tonight no man
will be idle on account of high
water. Traffic has reached nor
NAL condition.
At Parkersburg, ". Va, the
river reached its highest pointat
z o'clock Tuesday morning when
the gauge showed 40 feet. 1t is
falling slowly. About 200 fami-
lies were driven from their homes
and are still homeless. There is
no prospect of opening traffic on
the Ohio River division of the
Baltimore & OHIO for several
days.
