Correspondence Of The Journal.
London. March S.-England is i'm
mensely proud of vigorous lady of
quality who expects to celebrate her nine.
tieth birthday soon and who is famous
in this country by reason of possessing a
more remarkable array Of highly-titled
descendants than probably any other liv-
ing woman.
She is the :dowager duchess Of Abercorn,
and the <number Of those who claim the
distinction of being descended from her
is 140-ten children, forty-nine grand
children and seventy-one great-grandchil-
dren, a record that eclipses even that OF
Queen Victoria. The assemblage is al
most as remarkable in rank as it is in
number for it embraces four actual dukes,
and one potential one, marquis and
three earls, besides lesser dignitaries.
Just seventy years ago, the dowager
duchess. who was daughter of the sixth
duke of Bedford, married his grace of
Abercorn, one Of the most powerful no.
blemen in the land. She was one of a
family of thirteen, but she herself did
even better than that-presenting her
proud husband with seven sons and seven
daughters. Oddly enough. five of each
sex are still alive. The duke was gem
orally supposed to have taken no small
share in the marriage of his seven daugh-
ters and was popularity supposed to be the
original of the manoeuvering noblemen
in Disraelfs Lothian then at the
height of its popularity. At all events,
his girls made distinguished alliances"
and his surviving sons in law include the
duke of Buccleuch, the marquis of Lans-

Many who come ignorantly and hope
fully to the city, deceived by glittering
dreams of money easily made, aided by
Mrs. Boardman's experienced common
sense see their mistake and return to
homes they never should have left. This
timely warning and the setting the
right track of girls who decide to re-
main and try their fortunes in feasible
employne nts have saved many an unWary
girl from sorrowful If not soul wrecking
experiences. To accomplish this is ONE
of the chief objects of the Travellers Aid.
One is surprised to learn, of the number
of travellers. who become stranded on
their Journeys and who are obliged to ap-
peal for assistance or to wait for remit
tances from friends. This is sometimes
due to unexpected delays or to mlscalcu-
lations in regard. to the expense of the
journey. If the amount needed is small,
il is supplied from the charity money with
which Mrs., Boardman is supplied by the
Christian associations; If the sum Is
greater than the Aid can afford, applica-
tion is made to the city poor. department.

is the effect of the dark, sails against

motion and gives cumulative sense of

Two more of Mr. Bohm's paintings ar
rived in the city just at the close of the
special exhibition and have been hung
with the permanent collection in the
library gallery for a few weeks. These
pictures entitled "Motherhood'' and 1.-THE
End of All Anxiety" were shown at the
art institute in the fall and last month
at the Pennsylvania Academy exhibition.

mer Mr.. Bohm has lavished all the re-
sources of his rich palette and fertile in
vention. The composition is full of beau
tiful suggestive thought and a rare grace.
The rich coloring has delightful mel
lowness of tone. The picture is an ar
ngement of three groups of women and
children each Of which expresses ten
derby and sympathetically the boundless-
ness of mother love and the purity and
freedom from care of childhood. The
painters insight into human nature and
the closeness of his observation are ad-
mirably shown in his varied treat ment

In their freedom from modelling and petty
detail. The arrangement Of the masses
further concentrates the attention upon
the head, which is the center of interest
and expression. The. masses are kept
dark and unobtrusive, even the sky being
low in tone and we'll separated from the
head"1n order that it may. not fight with
IT, The face also is kept within the same
severe and simple lines in order not to
weaken the effect
In complete contrast to this portrait is
that OF the child in beautiful handsome

gest youth and the broken masses the
Joyousness that belongs to youth Back

the same thought.
Still very different is the portrait of the
artists wife. In Dortraying full blown
Womanhood Mr.. Bohn would employ all
the richest Ideas Of color and arrange

scheme for such picture is studied like
an arrangement of gems, to evolve q set

OF Womanhood in their fullest develop

The necessity of providing free or cheap
lodgings to those stopping in the city only
for the night often arises from the fact
that the traveller had not expected to be
obliged to stop and has either missed
trains or only learned that they do not
connect on arriving in the city,
Those to whom money is supplied are
always requested to return it, and in some
instances some security is kept, part of
their baggage watch or a PIECE OF jew
elry. The watches are always redeemed,
but sometimes the other articles are not;
in such cases they are usually found to
have little or no value
The actual work of the Travellers Aid
Is carried on at present almost wholly by

to look after the rooms and the dodgers
during the absence of Mrs. Boardman. 1t
is no longer possible for Mrs. Boardman
to meet all of the trains and she is to
be given permanent assistance. Here
after Mrs. Boardman will work chiefly at
the Union station and her assistant at the
Milwaukee.
The plan of having lodging rooms is
comparatively recent, and was forced upon
the association by the great need of some
place where those without friends and
with little or no money could be taken
for a night or kept for longer time if
necessary. The idea began by the mat
ron's practice of taking such unfortunates
to her own lodgings. The report of the
last year shows that there have been POI
girls, women and children provided with
lodgings; Of this number sixteen women
and ten children have been lodged free
for a total of IT'S nights Some Of those
able to pay. and some Of those unable to
do SO, have. been kept for some time.

A SECRET THAT WOULDN'T KEEP

The announcement Of one of the en-
gagements this week was made rather I'M
willingly, for the young man and young
woman had decided that as long as they
would not be married until fall, nothing
should be said of their engagement until
late in the summer. Only the immediate
members of the family were told and they
were sworn to secrecy, but there are
some things that cannot be hidden and an
engagement is one, as this particular
couple discovered Shortly after the
eventful words had been spoken, the
young woman went away for short visit.
She was gone three weeks and came home

Josephine is organist in the Bethel Luth-

IN the opinion Of Mr. Wlmot Miss
Laura has a talent for composition.
Misses Laura and Josephine are making a
special study of the oratorio solos Of Han.
del, Haydn and Mendelssohn, and have
sung several numbers from these with
most excellent success. Miss Laura has
appeared before some of the talented
musicians of Minneapolis, and her
singing has been highly complimented. 1t
is certain that the three sisters represent
a very refined type of musicianship.
The youngest of the sisters, Miss Lena,
is now preparing a recital to be given in
the near future, and at this number of
leading musicians from afar will be
present. Among the numbers that she
will render will be "Raffs Echo" and the

One Of the small beginnings that has
proved It's worth and is expanding slowly
but surely is the travellers Aid, supported
by the Women's Christian association and
the Young Women's Christian association.
Seven years ago they undertook the work
OF giving comfort and assistance to tray
elers by the employment Of a matron to
meet at the train all women and girls

week the joint committee directing the
work voted to enlarge considerably the
provisions for the work. Hitherto, ex-

there were several Of her friends on the
train and they had pleasant trip from
Chicago. 1t was not until they reached
Minneapolis that the young woman began
to have: forebodings. She knew that
Moses would meet her at the train and
she dallied in the car with her bag and
wraps, hoping that her friends would
go on. But they didn't. Some perverse
spirit kept them until broad shouldered

The dowager duchess eldest son now of
course, holds the title of duke of Aber-
corn. One of her numerous grandsons is
the earl of Durham, and his nephew will
be earl of Pembroke. The number of the
dowager duchess at-grandchildren was
brought up to seventy-one only a short
while ago by the birth of a son to her
granddaughter, Lady Evelyn Cavendish.
II the boy lives he will be duke of Devon
shire some day. Her ninety years do not
prevent this marvellous old gentlewoman
from going about as she pleases, and she
was in high feather only a few days ago
at the wedding of another of her many
grandchildren, Lady Wicklow. Every one
of the dowager duchess remarkable pro-
geny is devoted to her and she herself Is
by no means without a little justifiable
vanity over being the parent stem of SO
fourishing family tree. Her greatest
treasure is certain gold chain to which
are attached fourteen amethyst lockets
which We're bestowed upon her by the duke
of Abercorn, one on each of the occasions
when she presented him with child.
The old lady, as she is occasionally seen
in society to-day, is a typical grande
dame of the old school. She is peeress
of England, Scotland and Ireland.

AN EMPEROR'S EQUAL
kENTUCKlAN DID NOT UNCOVER
BEFORE DOM PEDRO.
Brazilian Monarch Displayed Pleasure
at the Exhibition of Independence
Drank Toast TO Health of the Other
Emperor and Parted Good Friends.

The visit of Prince Henry recalls
to a correspondent of the Kansas City
Star an incident which he relates as
follows.
Just after the close of the civil
war Emperor Dom Pedro of Brazil
visited the United States. One of the
places he visited was the mammoth
cave in Kentucky. On his arrival at
Cave City, the nearest point on the
railroad to the cave, he stopped, with
his suite. at the village hotel and sent
his interpreter to get conveyance
to take the party to the cave. The
interpreter found all the public con-
veyances had already gone to the
cave. The landlord told him the only
suitable private conveyance in the viii
lage belonged to Jack Thompson. who
was not in the habit of driving his
Kentucky horses and his fine canopy
topped. three-seated rig except for his
own family. However, price was
named that suited Jack I'D the party
was soon under way to the cave. The
emperor's party consisted of six
persons.
After a pleasant ride of six miles
the party arrived at sroye Of maple
trees. where they stopped and alighted
for refreshments, of which "a bountiful
supply had been brought One of the
party filled a golden cup with fine
spirits and handed it to Dom Pedro.
Upon the emperor's taking the cup the
party all removed their hats-all ex-
cept Jack. Dom Pedro called the at
tention Of the interpreter to the fact.
told him to say to the driver that he
was the emperor of Brazil and that it
was the custom that when the en-
peror drank all present remove their
bats. The message was conveyed. the
Interpreter adding: You will please
remove your hat" Jack. holding HE
lines in one hand, Strengthened up
and replied: "Sir, say to your cm-
peror that as an act of politeness I
would remove my hat to the most
humble peasant in his country, but
as a command | would not remove it
for no dam man on earth. | am an
emperor myself"
The interpreter told Dom Pedro in
his own language precisely what Jack
had said, whereupon the emperor or
dered another golden cup filled from
the cecanter and hanoed it to his in
terpreter, telling him to present it to
the other emperor" Jack took it
and Dom Pedro said, through his in
terpreter: This is the first time in
my life that have had the opportuni-
ty and pleasure of drinking with an
emperor. Here is to your health and
long life"
During the rest of the visit, which
was three days at the cave, Dom Pc
dro and Jack and the interpreter were
The best of friends, the emperor never
drinking without climbing cups with
Jack Dom Pedro paid all bills, and
at parting with Jack Thompson shook
both his hands many, many times.
