Fraulein Stole who is native OF Berlin
and graduate Of the Royal Art Academy,
has gained reputation In this country by
her exceedingly interesting and instructive
talks upon art and the use Of lantern
slide reproduction Of noted pictures by great
painters In 1898 she determined to obtain,
for use before American audiences, col
lection of lantern slides In which the COL
ors Of the originals should be introduced,
thus adding greatly to the artistic quality
and value Of the reproduction. She then
returned to Europe and labored arduously
for more than two years In the principal
ar: galleries. and by her own unaided ef-
forts succeeded in copying the matchless
collection of paintings. In carrying out
her great undertaking Fraulein Stole de-
voted several months to each of the prfn-
cipal museums where she made the color
sketches before each picture. in order to
and unremitting toll alone have been sufi-
cient to obtain this result. No other col
lection is in existence similar or compar-
able to this, which reproduces In color the
great pictures which crowd the galleries of
Dresden. Vienna Munich, Berlin. Rome
Florence and other cities. The colors and
the method Of applying them are Fraulein
Stolle's personal discovery and secret
Practically therefore, it may be said that
il is impossible to duplicate her collection

Rev. Anna H. Shaw.
Rev. Anna II. Shaw, vice president of
the National Suffrage Association. is re-
garded one of the most pleasing speak
ers upon the public platform, possessing
a wonderful personal magnetism, fine
voice and the power of pointed argument.
She has overcome what to some would
seem almost insurmountable obstacles. In
her girlhood days, with thirst for learn
ing, but shut off from all school privileges.
she took advantage of every book and
paper that fell in her way, and thus OBJ
tanned an education which enabled her to
begin teaching at the age of fifteen.
Miss Shaw graduated from the theologi-
cal department of the Boston University
in 1878. She served as pastor Of churches
for fourteen years. The Methodist Episco-
pal Church refusing her ordination, she re-
ceived it from the Methodist Protestant
Church in 1880. During her pastorate she
Weulclne anu received lUe degree
of NJ ID. from the Boston University. She
is believed to be the first woman to have
the double distinction OF the titles REV.
and IN. D." Her family were opposed to
her studying for the ministry, on the
ground that she would be a disgrace to
them il she persisted In such an unheard-of
course. Her success has effectually recon-
ciled them to the disgrace.
Her grandmother refused to pay tithes
to the Church of England. and year after
year sat In her door knitting and denounc-
ing the law, while her goods were seized
and sold for taxes In the streets. Her
granddaughter inherited from her the
sense OF injustice OF taxation without rep
resentation.

Alice Stone Blackwell the daughter Of
Lucy Stone is said to be one Of the best
informed and most logical and witty speak
ers upon the suffrage platform. She is
veritable encyclopedia to whom they all go
for information ON the suffrage question.

Things the officers took away and sold was
