The labor of love broadened constantly, and she found her ample reward in the added knowledge, love and wisdom she gained. At first she had no thought of politics in connection with charity work dividuals can give temporary help, noth- ing more. The fully launched phiIan- thropic worker saw that the poor whom she sought to aid needed better homes and sanitary conditions. Their children now died like untimely young animals now lived in spite of fate and ran the streets and oftentimes became criminals through sheer want of schoolroom and playgrounds. Tenement houses, school buildings, parks, playgrounds and streets all dePended on the municipal authorities elected by men voters
 Mrs. Burns and her fellow workers saw large illumination. To accomplish any thing at all for the tenement mothers life better for a woman must have knowl- edge of politics.
 The next step? Mrs. Burns and several other public spirited ladies organized a political club, Mrs. Burns being its Pres tdent for three years. Its first object was to train its own members to thorough understanding of political questions, par ticularly as affecting municipal affai.s. From the beginning they had the backing of the State Committee of their party. They learned that the best way to ac- complish improvement Is first for private philanthropy and enterprise to begin

woman has. Mrs. Burns and her club distributed pamphlets in all languages rom house to house among the tenement population, and the women of that pop ulation did the rest. Not few municipal betterments in other American cities than New York are traceable to the work of philanthropic women in politics.
 In all her public tasks which are many, Mrs. Clarence Burns is indeed happy in having the sympathy and approval of her husband. She Is now President of the Little Mothers Aid Association, an irc ,r- porated society founded to help the for lorn girl children who have to keep house and take care of the babies while their mothers go out to days work. This as- sociation, founded originally by Mrs. Als0a Calder Johnston, looks after 200 children. It maintains among other en- terprises day nursery for the smallest children and two establishments where girls are taught what will be the most important duty of their poor lives if they live to be grown ups-the art of home making. They are taught to be clean. in the first place: then to sew and cook and do all the things neat, intelligent house. keepers deem necessary to he.ilth ard happiness. The instruction Is varied with singing and recitation. A recent report says the improvement in the manners and morals of the girls is most marked and no wonder. But, after all, they are only getting what they are entitled to by right of birth as human beings.
 Mrs Burns is a member and officer of the New York Woman's Press Club and of the Consumers League. founded to get justice and kindness for girls who work in shops and factories She has also or ganized the Social and Industrial Club among working girls.
 Mrs Burns was a member of the New York Commission to the last Paris Expo sition In her political reform work she has 5000 women with her. She Is cer- tain there is a great future for woman in politics. Ellzaoeth Lee.

Woman in Politics;
 Mrs. Clarence Burns

A professional manipulator would not call 1t politics at all, the work of Mrs. Clarence Burns and her club women as- sociates are engaged in, yet perhaps the ladies, after all have a truer idea Of the real scope of the governing and law making power than he has. At any rate, Mrs. Burns has learned from expe- rieIce that the only way to do good pub lie work and clinch 1t is through legis- lation. That is her plea of politics, mu- nicipal, State and national
 Mrs. Burns is a cosmopolite. She was born in, Canada, to begin. and trained In the careful way in which English people still rear their children. She was made to take plenty of open air exercise, tO brave all weathers, to eat food the sim plest and most wholesome and to go to bed early and regularly. To this Is no doubt owing in great part the superb physique possessed by this model wo- man politician. She Is of the tall, noble, queehly type impressive in beauty and healthful in appearance. If those AmerI- can mothers who let their children sit up to all hours of the night, drink all the strong coffee they want and eat all the iniquitous messes grown people put into their stomachs and quantities of candy besides could see Mrs. Clarence Burns in her splendid physical womanhood per- haps they might learn something. She never knows an hours illness in spite of working indefatigably and going out doors in storm and calm.
 She has lived in various parts of the Union, east and west. everywhere keeping her eyes open and learning. For some years she mas, lived in New York city, where she has a beautiful home. It is always to a woman's credit, when she keeps house at all, to do 1t perfectly. Mrs. Burns is noted as a housekeeper. She excels likewise in the broader capa- city of homemaker. which is something different. Indeed, when she began phil enthropic work. this admirable lady be- came at the same time doubly careful that MT. Clarence Burns. who afforded the means of building the beautiful home, should never have cause to find fault with domestic conditions. Wise woman, that!
 The natural evolution of a brainy wo- man from a mere charity worker to full-fedged womans rights woman is u he traced distinctly in Mrs. Burnss case. It is a story full of interest Mrs. Burns says:
 "All sentiment ladies, whether of col- lege or church or as agents of any oth- CT philanthropies, come to be thorough going woman suffrage women even though they were not III lHe DeSl1HlHg. They see the only way 10 effect reforms is through legislation. and that is the conclusion of the whole matter"
 Mrs Burns had q brain too intellectual to be content in the narrow. petty grooves in which small womens minds run round and round. Fifteen years ago 1t was that she began practical philanthropic work. One poor family vas assigned to her to look after. That was the commencement.

mer school plans, also with the trade school. All these. be- gun by the efforts of private individuals, largely women, are becoming an integral part of the American educational system Mrs. Burns herself has advocated school children's clubs for years, and now these are coming too.
 Mrs. Burns and the ladies of her polt- ical club first acquainted themselves thor oughiy with the questions at issue; then they visited the tenement women, who had come to look on them as friends. and saw to 1t that these women made their husbands register and vote. As a matter of fact-a curious fact, too-the wife among the poorer classes has much more influence over her husband than the rich

GAMBLING IN MEXICO.

 Editor Stecker has been living among the Mexicans for dozen years now, and he testifies that the love of gambling is born in them. Everybody buys lottery tickets, The chief attractions at all Mex lean fairs are the bull fihts and the gamb- ling games. When he was new to MeXi- can ways. the gambling in Linares aston ished him. He knew 1t was contrary to Mexican law. yet he saw games running in the town hall itself and in school houses. Another thing that puzzled him was a monthly announcement of this sort in the official paper of Ueuvo Leon: "Sev- eral public-spIrited people of this city have given 8. 1888 toward the construc- ton of the State capitol building. Be- ing in Monterey one day he asked the commissioner of schools about 1t.

Henderson this morning stated that he is In receipt of notification from M. V. Richards, general manager of the department, at Washington, D. C.. that thoroughly organized movement is now on foot by his department to bring Ger man immigrants into the South direct from the Fatherland.
 MT. Richards has lined up his excellent corps of assistants with immgiration agents both in the United States and Germany, with the view to securing A fair proportion of the large amount of substantial Teutonic timber now bent on coming to the New World. Since the re- cent newspaper talk of proposed German colonization in South America, MT. Rich- ards hassdecided that North America and especially that portion known as the Southern States of the United States. is more entitled to good citizens than the wilds of South America He has for some time had force of competent men engaged in preparing pamphlets. printed in German. setting forth the advantages of the Southern States. especially Ala bama, Mississippi. Georgia and the Caro- linas and Virginias. and thousands of these pamphlets are now being judicious- ly spread broadcast through the German Empire.
 From information received, Mir.

The Grand Cayman Storm.

Private information from George town, Grand Cayman Island, to a sea- faring captain, brings possibly the last news of the recent destructive storm of August 11th, in the Gulf of Mexico. Cap tain Rennie Eden of the British three masted schooner M. A. Achorn, recently arrived from Havana, is in receipt of a letter from his wife at Georgetown, c. C., announcing the giving up of all hopes of hearing from the two-masted schooner Camperdown, Theodore K. Eden (her brother) captain, and the entire crew of seven men, the captain included.
 The Camperdown was engaged in the fruit trade between Tampa and Key West, Fla, and the Honduranean coast. The evening of August 7th, she sailed from Tampa and was last reported on the afternoon of the fearful storm, Au- gust 11th. in the harbor of Antonio, the westernmost point of Cuba. lying at an- chor. preparatory to sailing the next day for British Honduras When the storm came up the lighthouse keeper on the cape saw the Camperdown drag her an- chors and go seaward. This was the last seen or heard of the vessel and crew
 For days and weeks the families of the captain and crew waited patiently, and 1t Is now conceded that the Camperdown and her crew met the fate of many other vessels in that-the worst storm that has swept the Gulf of Mexico in years.
 Captain Eden was a brother of Mrs. John Woods. whose terrible experience on the schooner G. E. Bentley, with the remnant of her family, the remains of her husband, and brother and Mrs. Rem nie Eden, In Georgetown harbor, was chronicled in The Advertiser. He leaves wife and seven children in Grand Caymen. and all of the sailors leave fam flies there as well.

News from the Mexican coast is to the effect that for a hundred or more miles the coast Is strewn with wreckage of all kinds of vessels, from fishing schooners to iron steamships of large tonnage.
