The Saint Paul globe., 1903-07-26

It has recently cost the dowager
Lady Cook, formerly Tennessee Celeste
Claflin, the sum of $4,000 to prove that
she is not one of the worst women who
ever breathed the breath of life.
From early childhood, which was
passed at a little place near Cincinnati,
Ohio, to the present day this remark
able woman's life has been more filed
than is often allotted to any one.
Pioneer for Woman's Rights.
Serious minded as a child, at thir-
ten years she became imbued with the
idea of becoming nun While attend
ing a Catholic convent in Chicago.
Taken out of the convent, she began
work among the poor, and as she
reached maturity took up the work for
female emancipation. With her sister
Victoria Woodruff, she saw stirring
times during the '70s in their pioneer
work, which met with tremendous op-
position, frequently taking the form of
ridicule, SANDER and persecution.
In 1877 the sisters went to England
to carry on their work, and while there
Tennessee Claflin met Sir Francis Cook,
who was attending her lectures. Their
marriage followed in 1885, and she has
been less prominently in the glare Of
public life, though continually engaged
in charitable work, till the serious
charges of a dependent were brought
to light

which had been blasted out of the exca-
vation being used for this purpose The
vestibule is divided into two sections. so
that in order to reach the Jail proper one
must go through three barred gates. The
thinnest part of the way is more than
six feet in thickness. Many notorious out
laws have been confined in this jail and
several have served life sentences. Many
more up for life have been pardoned and
set free after having served only a por-
tion of their term. All these have left
behind them some evidence Of their stay
in Clinton Jail, and the rude walls which
at first were absolutely unadorned now
show carvings of merit.
In the life cell there Is carved on one
side Of the room the whole of Edgar Allen
Poe's poem, THE Raven" accompanied
by original Illustrations A portion of the
Lords Prayer adorns another wall. and
both music and words Of Home, Sweet
Home are. found in third cell rudely
carved in the wall. A good natured ri
valry goes on between the prisoners in
this art of carving, and shelves have been
put up by the men in the cells to hold
some of their work. From bits Of rock
have been carved heads and full length
figures Of famous personages. Two re-
markably ife like busts of President
Roosevelt, a head of william Shake
speare, bearing the signature BILLY the
Kid" and a profile Of President McKin-
ley, signed Climax Bill" are among the
best pictures found in the Jail.

Tilted American Woman
Clears Her Name i'm England

than appear in an English law court,
especially when it came to a point Of
whether or not she had i'll treated her
husband.
Besides, Wallace had had access to
considerable correspondence which had
passed between Sir Francis-in his
great charity-and various, women, and
he thought to make a handle of this
Information.
Claims Attempt to BlackmaiI.
Lady Cook, when she heard that
Wallace accused her of numbering her
husband, stated that she considered
that Wallace was trying to blackmail
her.
Wallace seized upon this statement
as an opportunity to bring action for
slander. Strange to say. he won.
1t is true that instead Of $4,000 an
English jury gave him $3.50, one
twentieth of his claim; but still he had
won, and that was lot more than was
expected.
The day that the suit went against
Lady Cook-March 8, 1903-she stood
up in court and criticised the way her
case had been conducted. She said she
was prepared to go into the box to
protect the honor of her darling hus-
band,'' and in a word, she created more
or less of scene"
Lord Alverstone, the lord chief JUS
tice, would not listen to her.

trees" and there is great Industrial
loss in the future product.
Early Fall Critical Period.

There are two distinct seasons when
forest fires prevail, the spring and fall.
The primary cause of trouble is dry
weather, and the most critical period
is the early fall, when there is usually
but little rain and the heat of the sun
is almost as great as in midsummer.
Throughout the West the greatest fires
are in the fall and there is scarcely a
season that does not leave it's record
of serious destruction of property and
even lives.
Forest fires begin with civilization,
and when a country is new they have
their excuse in necessity. When a spot
for home and fields that must be cul-
tivated must be made in wilderness,
this means must be resorted to, but in
a new country, this manner of subdu- .
ing the forest is apt to be carried too
far. Proper value is not attached to
the rich forests, and trees are apt to be
even wantonly destroyed.
In Minnesota the necessity for such
methods of clearing land has long
since passed, but, nevertheless, a great
