Miss Ellen NJ. Stone Tells Story of
Her Captivity.

Her Captivity. "
Miss Ellen NJ Stone told the story Of
her captivity among the brigands of
church and large audience was present
to hear the. graphic narrative. Miss
Stone was introduced by Rev. l.. H. Hal
lock- and she told of her experiences in
simple, conversational manner that
was charming and held her hearers
spellbound. She. has a strong sense Of
humor and told many little incidents that
the captives for nearly six months.
She reviewed the conditions OF
brigandage still existing in Macedonia
and said that it was what was to be
found everywhere in districts subject to
Turkish rule. The capture of Miss Stone
and Nine. .Tsilka was made while they
were returning from northern mission
station with band of Bible women and
students. Nine. Tsilka was taken, so
they were informed, because she was the
only married woman and was needed to
chapefon Miss Stone. Before they had
been in captivity twenty-four hours they
were Informed by the brigands that. a
ransom of $110, 900 would have to be paid
for their release. The raising of this
sum? seemed impossible and for six
months the two women lived in almost
daily fear of death. Miss Stone voiced
her gratitude to the Christian people
who made. her escape possible and said
that she had.-been ransomed by more
than her weight in gold. 49,. -
r.. After the birth of Nine. Tsilka S
daughter, the brigands seemed to have q
supersti tious fear that curse might fall
on: them If. harm came to the child and
they were solicitious in regard to her
welfare.> $500 =. .....~2.. . v.&-:
From the time Of the capture to the re-
lease, in the dead of night on a lonely
plain, where the captives were left with
instructions not to move until light: the
story was one7aof intense Interest, and
Miss Stone told It effectively. She will
give a second lecture this evening in
Plymouth church -..

A WOMAN WITH A Will.

A few years ago, Miss Rosa Weiss
was poor, but also ambitious; now she
is an M. D., and has a lucrative prac-
tice. She asked her brother to send
her to college. He told her that he
could not afford to do that, but, Civ
ing her five cents, jestingly said to
her, go on that" She saw wonder
full possibilities in that nickel. With
1t she bought a yard of calico from
which she made a sunbonnet. Selling
the sunbonnet for twenty-five cents.
she bought material for bonnets and
aprons. In this way several dollars
were realized. Her brother, pleased
with her thriftiness, gave her some
land. which she planted to sweet DO
tatoes, cultivating it with the assist
ance of a small boy. The products of
the first year brought her forty dol
lars. Later, she entered a state edu-
cational institution where she remain
ed until she graduated with honor.
During the course, she received some
assistance from an aid society, all OF
which was repaid. Miss Weiss enter
ed the medical college at Baltimore.
Maryland, where she paid her tuition
by nursing, and was graduated from
there with honor. She is now a r
ticing physician in Meridian, Misis-
sippi, near her former home, and her
income is a good one.-Success.

sELF-SUPPORTING WOMEN.


"Are there any young women or
girls in our schools who are planning
to stay at home when their school
days are over?" asked a conservative
woman, who occupies an important
post in a private school to a Brooklyn
Eagle scribe. "In my day, and | am
not so very old, only the girl who
was obliged to earn her living, in part
Or in whole, planned for a career in
the business or professional world.
Now there seems to be a perfect craze
among girls and women to do some
thing, and it is not uncommon for a
girl in our school, with rich parents,
to announce that after graduation she
is going to study for such and such a
position, and fill it, too. And usually
she keeps her word. l believe in a
girl fitting herself for self-support in
a S she should ever be called upon to
do SO, but until it is necessary l do
not think that she should enter into
competition with those who are wage
earners from necessity, not choice.
"Of course, where a oma has ex-
ceptional talent that almost amounts
to genius, it is different, for the world
would be the loser were she to keep
her talents hidden. But the majority
of these girls l am referring to have
only mediocre ability, and / do not
think that they should continue to
swell the ranks of the wage earning,
self-supporting women. Home duties,
society and philanthropy offer a wide
enough field for their endeavors."

An instrument has been invented by
DR.. TEL. e. Weatherill for taking the
temperature and barometric pressure
of the human body. 1t measures the
perspiration in relative humidity and
the surface temperature, without press
ure on the limbs. The humidity mech.
anism is a spiral Of very fine wire, to
which is attached a silk membrane
dipped in chloride of cobalt and coated
with gelatine. With careful attention
the instrument is correct enough to
give some very interesting results, such

AMERICAN TITLED WOMAN.

Four American duchesses, two mar
chionesses, seven countesses, two Wis
countesses, six baronesses and many
other daughters of Uncle Sam with
titles-all this moves a London paper
to remark that ut says much for the
mind, manners and ascending charac-
teristics Of American womanhood that
it so often occupies an exalted position
in our social world-truly a case of
cream rising to the top. 1t may be
said that their frequently large for
tunes and their exceptional charm of
appearance may account for the
triumphs of American women in u
modern London; also, that such mar
riages are by no means always a sue
cess. But the fact remains an undis-
puted one."

FASHION NOTES.

Light-tinted broadcloth collars q
goodly size and cuffs, machine-stitche6
all over, are a feature of the newest
tailor-mades.
Persian trimmings in braid form
particularly those mixed with gilt ant
silver, are all the rage.
The newest neck ruches fasten a
the bust, thereby overcoming the un
becoming bunchy appearance around
the neck.
Hats made entirely of feathers are
On view, but are too bizarre to be
popular.
Brown is one of the most used
shades this season for street gowns.
Narrow braids used for trimmings
are in best style when put on with
the stitching on the edges, so that
they stand up.
As fashion demands a waist to
match the skirt, economical women
are having three bodices made to one
skirt. One bodice is very simple, an
other more elaborate, being trimmed
with lace, and a third made entirely
of lace.
AS cloth trimming in band form on
silk is one of the newest notions, if
you have a separate silk waist and a
skirt of the same color, trim the
waist with bands of material to match
the skirt and 1t will look like a whole
costume after the new style.
Thin black materials spangIed with
steel paillettes make exceedingly
snowy evening costumes.
The return of the feminine girl is
strongly evidenced by the absence of
the severe mannish styles among the
sWagger tailor-mades.
Lace waists are to be as fashionable
as ever this season.
It is quite fashionable this year to
wear the hat SO that it may show some
hair on the forehead.
A tailored" hat Is the latest. It
must not be confused with an outing
hat. These are very ~cleverly design
ed and quite smart, yet are quite re-
moved from the dress hat.
