WOMAN LIGHTHOUsE.kEEPER.

Arduous Task of Mrs. Nancy Rose, Who
Retires, Aged 10 Years.
For nearly half a century Mrs. Nan
cy Rose has had the sole responsibility
of keeping the lighthouse that marks
the crest Of Stony Point, on the Hud-
son. Now. at the age of 70, she pro-
poses to give up her arduous work and
give over the watching Of the beacon
lights, and the responsibility Of the
fog bell, into younger hands.
Mrs. Rose was left widow, with
six children, when she undertook the
work of the Stony Point lighthouse. 1t
was in 1862 that Alexander Rose re-
ceived the appointment Of lighthouse
keeper. A few years later, while car
rying timbers for the bell tower which
the government was then constructing,
he ruptured blood vessel, and few
weeks later he died. Mrs. Rose STEP
ped into his place as lighthouse keep
erd, and although the work Is tedious
| and the situation isolated and lonely,
for forty seven years the brave woman
has kept at her post, trimmed the
lights and kept the fog bell ringing.
The cottage at the foot of the light
house where the Rose family have liv-
ed so long is twenty seven years old,
but the lighthouse itself is seventy
seven, and is built on the foundation
of Stony Point Fort, the old walls
having been filled in and long since be.
come terrace of grass and small
shrubs. Dozens Oe bullets and grape
shot. rusty and soil eaten, have been
found about the fort, several fine speci-
mems Of which Mrs. Rose has preserv.
ed. A flagpole marks the spot where
Mad Anthony Wayne Of revolutionary
fame is supposed to have fallen and
with him Jacob Parkinson, great.
grandfather of Mrs. Rose, was wound.
ed.
The lighthouse lamps have to be re-
plenished at midnight, and the fog
bell machinery has to be wound up
every three and three-quarters hours.
In 1890 the bell was removed about
an eighth Of a mile away from the
house and nearer the water. This made
extra labor and exposure. But Mrs.
Rose never failed in her duty, be the
weather scorching hot or cold with
winter billiards.. For her work she
received a maximum salary Of $500 a
year. Two of Mrs. Roses children re-
main with her, and pretty cottage
has been built in the locality of Stony
Point, which the family will occupy,
bidding good-by to the lighthouse
where this faithful woman has toiled
for nearly fifty years.

English Ginger Sna ps.

Fourteen ounces Of white sugar,
eight ounces Of butter, eight eggs, one
teacupful Of milk, two ounces of
ground ginger. two tablespoonful Of
baking powder one and a half pound

cookies. Sift sugar over before cut
ting out the cakes. 1t is generally
best to make the dough for all kinds
of cookies and sugar cakes as soft as
it can possibly be rolled out. Differ
ent persons make very different cakes
Of these sorts from the same recipes,
and the common fault is too much
-four in the dough. The baking pow
der, too, is responsible for some Of
the changes. With too much powder
the cakes run into each other and lose
the good round shape they ought to
have.
While mobs are rampant in our own
country and while several of the
States and especially the authorities
in the large cities have shown them
selves unwilling to maintain order and
to protect persons and property we
proceed to rush squadrons into Turk

and decaying nation like Turkey shall
make effective reforms which we
suggest and which cannot be made eff

the touch Of nature which makes the

Of the spinal cord, and treated him for
two months. during which he got
worse all the time. Finally the doctor
told me he did not know what was the
trouble. The boy would wake up dur
ing the night and say that he was
dying. He would be nervous and trem-
bling, and would want to run from the
house, saying he saw ugly things
which frightened him. After we had
tried everything else, read an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as a
cure for Nervous Troubles. | pur-
chased some and used them until he
had taken altogether eight boxes when
he was sound and well with not sim
gle symptom of the old trouble. This
was some months ago, and feel sure
that he is permanently cured. We owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills all the credit
for his restoration to good health"

washington, Nov. 24.-Panama and
CUBA engaged the attention of the
senate yesterday to the exclusion of all
other questions. Mr.. Hale moved to
reconsider the vote by which the
Newlands joint resolution for the an.
nexation OF Cuba was referred to q
committee and several speeches were
made on the motion without disposing
OF 1t. Messrs. Hale, Lodge and Platt
lConn) disavowed any desire on the
part Of the United States to acquire
Cuba, and expressed regret that the
resolution had been introduced Mr..
Newlands defended the measure as
presenting a natural solution of the
problem of the relationship between
the two countries.
The Panama question came up in
connection with the announcement OF
reorganization of senate committees,
Mr.. Morgan (Dem., Ala.), being re-
leyod from the craftsmanship of the
committee on interoceanic canals.
Before the order went into effect Mr..
Morgan took the floor and his speech
proved to be discussion of the entire
canal question with liberal criticisms
of the president for his course. He
had not concluded when the senate
adjourned, and will proceed to-day.
Before adjournment the senate
unanimously agreed to vote on the
Cuban bill De- 80
