REMEMBERS HER SCHOOLMATE.
Mrs. Schwab's Generous Way of Re-
calling GirIhOOd Friendship.

PERTH AMBOY, N. j., Feb. IA
| from Chillcothe, Ohio, illustrating the
thoughtful generosity of Mrs. Charles NJ
Schwab, of Pittsburg. wife of the million
aire president of the great United States
Steel Company.
Mrs. James Dunbar, of East Water
Street. Chillicothe. knew Mrs. Schwab in
timately in their girlhood days, when
they were schoolmates in Waverly, Pa.
Since growing to wOmanhood they have
known little of each other, both having
married and moved from their native
town years ago.
Mrs Dunbar had lived in many other
places, moving last to Chillicothe a year
or two ago, where her husband is en-
ployed as a cooper.
She received notification during the
holidays that there was letter deposited
to her address in the pCstoffice of Pitts
burg and the stamp having fallen off, it
would be forwarded upon the receipt of
the proper postage. Mrs. Dunbar, think
ing it probably circular, paid little heed
to the notice, but it kept recurring to her
mind with some persistence, and at last
she decided to exDend the four cents
necessary postage.
In return, what was her surprise to re-
ceive pleasant little letter from Mrs.
Schwab, enclosing a Christmas remem-
brance in the form of n check. 1t is be-
lieved that Mrs. Schwab had been hunting
up all her old schoolmates for the purpose
of signfying in this substantial fashion
that the pleasant associations of early
days were not forgotten.

AUTOMOBILES FOR AsHCARTs.
New York Street Cleaning Depart
ment to Give Them N Test.

NEW YORK Feb. 15.-Street Cleaning
Commissioner Woodbury. will shortly try
the experiment of removing ashes from
the upper West Side streets by using two
large and powerful automobiles built spe-
ciaiiy for the purpose. West of Central
Park on the upper West Side there are no
dumps between Forty-seventh Street and
l3ith Street, and the haul is hard on the
horses used on ashcarts.
An automobile concern has persuaded
Commissioner Woodbury. that powerful
automobiles, capable OF carrying five or
six yards of earth each. would do the
work more cheaply than horses. 1t is I'M
derstood that if the automobiles prove to
De economical carriers the commissioner
will recommend that several of them be
put in use.
Deputy Commissioner Gibson said of
the proposed experiment yesterday: "A
company is building two automobile carts
with which the city will experiment The
only objection to them that / now see
is that ii is doubtful whether they can
climb, with heavy load, the 30-degree
incline at the dump. Aside from this,
they appear to be the best vehicles to
use. as they can go faster and carry
larger loads than horses"

der consideration--Mrs. Roosevelt
to Entertain Church Society.

Oyster Bay, N. T., July 15.-The
president has invited General Leon.
ard Wood to visit him at Sycamore
Hill early in August. General Wood
is one of Mr. Roosevelt's closest
friends and the president entertains
high regard for his executive abil
i!y. On account of that fact General
Wood is mentioned as a probable
member of the isthmian canal com
ialssion to have general charge of the
canal construction. It was under
stood last night to be not unlikely
tat he may be appointed as the head
OF the commission.
The visit of Senator John G.
Spooner to Sycamore Hill excited
Iauch interest here yesterday. Mr.
opooner came up the sound in a
yacht, arriving in the bay shortly af
Ter o'clock. He sent note to the
president and after coming ashore
was soon in conference with President
Roosevelt and Secretary of War Root.

title to the Panama Canal eompany's
property was under discussion.
Canal Title Discussed.
Senator Spooner has been invited
lay the department of justice to assist
in the investigation Of the title to the
Panama canal. This investigation
will necessitate trip to Paris by
those making it. Senator Spooner is
reasonably certain that this country
can acquire a clear title to the prop
city, and some of his reasons for his
.belief were presented last night. At
ter the conference Senator Spooner
returned to the yacht.
President Roosevelt and Secretary of
War Root spent the greater part of
yesterday in considering matters of
Importance which reached them from
Washington by the mails and tele-
graph. Architect McKim, of New
York who prepared the plans for and
is supervising the work of the recon
struction of the interior of the White
House at Washington, arrived after

Old Negro Calls at the Capitol to See

Richard Mabson. an aged negro, was proud visitor to the State Capitol yes terday evening. He wanted to see Gov ernor Jelks and when he was admitted to the private office of the Chief Execu- tive his enthusiasm was unbounded.
 "I useter know Marse Willie wen he wus a teeny bitser hoy in Union Springs" said the old negro. "an' l jes comed up here fer ter sec i'm.

MRS. MACFADYEN
 AND HER NOBLE WORK.

Mrs. Macfadyen Qrene Ashby), wh-
 has done such effective work in Georgia apd AlaEaml in connection with the child-labor movement. and who has created a sensation by her exposure of certain conditions thereof, is an English woman, and had to face the prejudice of the conservative South against outside interference. The measure of success with which her effort has met (and 1t Is corsiderable) Is largely dne to the fact that her efforts are along line not al- ways followed out In agitation against existing eviles. She lifts the whole ques- ton of child-labor from out the narrow limits of political policy She trans- scends altogether simply the commercial features of the fight. and places tho whole subject on a plane where it must be not only looked upon, but actually dis cussed as great national-a great world problem She is not, in the narrow sense of the term, a representative of any labor organization, but slfe does work through labor organizations, and as their repre- sentative brings practical interest into the work which wonderfully stimulates the interest of the audience she addresses while 1t does not in any sense make her appear as the advocate of one element against another. Any one disposed to think slightly or even to ignore the sociological movement that has It's center among the students of the great univer- sities and colleges of social interest pre- sented by such a speaker as Mrs. Mac fadyen to realize that in the future ali phases of social policy must be tested through this new, this scientific method. -Isma Dooly in Leslie's Weekly. f
