Miss Van Warts Millions.

OF all the Americans in London none
is so charitably inclined as Miss Evelyn
Van Wart, formerly of New York, ana
an heiress of the Marshall Q. Roberts
estate. While most of Miss Van Warts
countrywomen are pursuing that eiu-
siyeN thing-social position-Miss Van
Wart is winning laurels as philan-
thropist She spends a fortune an
nually to allay suffering among the
poor of London's East End. But this
is not her only interest. She is liter
airy, and goes into society to an extent.
She is comparatively young and is
confirmed bachelor woman" Her
house in CurZon street is furnlS he'd in
remarkable taste and she owns several
antiquities of historical value. For In
stance she has needlework picture
executed by Queen Sophia Charlotte,
the dainty consort of George III. This
needlework bit was given by the queen
to an old serving woman. 1t was a
treasured heirloom, and when the fam
lily became bankrupt the royal needle
work was offered for sale. Miss Van
Wart paid goodly sum for the cotton
picture of two ladies toying with a
dove"
Miss Van Wart lives with her father,
Ames Van Wart, and friends attribute
her prolonged spinsterhood to the fact
that she always dreaded being married
for her moneys sake. Miss Van Wart,
being a conscientious woman, almost
regretted her extreme wealth. Soon
after she was introduced to society by
her aunt, Mrs. Ralph Vivian, she in
herited many millions from her grand
father, Marshall o. Roberts. She was
heralded as a great heiress, and when
she went abroad she was aghast to
find matrimonial agents craving inter-
views. They offered earls, counts and
princelings for sale, and Miss Van
Wart was so Disguised that she ex-
claimed, I'll die an old maid rather
than be married because of money"
She has stuck to these intentions re-
ligiously, and since she has lived in
London many impecunious noblemen
have been dangling at her heels. She
is in the thirties now, and if she mar
ries the American colony will gasp in

GLEANiNGS.

Buffalo has college settlement, now
about five years old. which is a monu-
ment to the earnestness and insight of
Miss Mary E. Remington, the founder.
She started the work by purchasing a
fve-story brick tenement house that
sheltered nearly 1000 persons crowded
together in degradation and dirt. The
building she renovated, and reduced
the number of tenants to about forty
families. This house-Miss Remington
lives in it and personally manages both
it and the works now headquarters
for classes, clubs, a day nursery and
Sunday school of 700 members. With
great good management Miss Reming
ton has paid off every cent of the &c.,
600 which the building cost, and has
since bought real estate to the value of
S19 geo for the further extension of the
settlement which bears her name.

her own money, and she did 1t by the
painfully slow method of picking ber-
rieS and chestnuts. She taught district
schools, studying and teaching alter
nately. It took her until she was twen-
ty-five years old to earn the money to
carry her to Oberlin, then the only
college in the country that admitted
women On the passage from Buffalo
to Cleveland she could not afford

Well Known Pioneer Settler of the
County Died at His Home on Gar
den Street Saturday.
LONG INTERESTED IN POLITICS.
Was Twice Sheriff of the County and Served
Peace in Pleasant Prairie.

John Lucas, one of the best known
of the pioneer citizens of Kenosha
county, died Saturday at the family
residence on Garden street after a
long illness from dropsy. Mr.. Lucas
had been i'll for more sthan two
years and his condition became so
serious three weeks ago that he was
forced to remain in his room.
The death of John Lucas marks the
passing of man who has been actively
connected with the development of Ke-
nosha county during the last half CEN
fury and few men who have resided in
the county had wider circle Of
friends. He was active as an educator,
as farmer and as politician and his
long service IN different offices makes
him worthy of more than usual consid-
Grafton.
The deceased was the son of John
and Eliza bethsLucas and was born in
Radnovshire, Wales, on May 10, 1886.
His father and mother brought the
family to America in 1912 and settled
on farm in the town of Paris. where
Mr.. Lucas grew to manhood. He was
educated in the district schools of the
city and in 1859 he went to the Uni
versity of Westervi1le in Ohio, where
he completed his education. Return
ing to this county Mr.. Lucas became
one of the pioneer school teachers of
the town of Brighton. Later in life
he learned the carpenters trade and
followed it for some time. He was
also keeper of hotel at Truesde1l
for number of years. After this he
became farmer and purchased farm
in the town of Pleasant Prairie, where
he resided until he moved to Kenosha
to spend his declining years.
Mr.. Lucas had been identified with
the Republican party since its organ
ization in 1856and he had always stood
high in the councils of the party in
the city and county. He held the Of
fee of Assessor of the towns of Paris
and Pleasant Prairie, and for seven
teen years he served as Justice of the
Peace in Pleasant Prairie. He was
also Town Clerk and Town Treasurer
of the town and was member of the
County Board for some time.
For three years he was chairman of
the Board of Supervisors. In 1871 he
was elected Sheriff of the county and
at the end of the term was reelected.
Since his residence in the city he has
represented his ward ia the Board of
Education and on the County Board.
Mr.. Lucas was a man of sterling
honesty and in his long po1iticaLcaree
he always stood for the best interests
Of the city and for his constituents. In
the County Board his services were of
great value to the city and he was one
of the few5men who always insisted on
fighting against over assessment of
city property.
In private life Mr.. Lucas was a man
Of many accomplishments and his
friends will find that his death has
made vacancy in their circle that
can never be filled. Mr.. Lucas was a
member of the local lodge of Masons
and of the Royal Arcanum.
