A SULTANA WASHERWoMAN.

One of the biggest steam laundries in
the west end of London belongs to the
estate of a woman, Mrs. Ricketts, who
got the capital to start it in an extraor-
binary way The money she put into the
enterprise she accumulated by running a
little semi-independent principality on the
shores of the Persian gulf.
While still d young girl she was married
10 a man of an adventurous turn, who
went out TO the eastern seas and became
a trader among obscure islands and
along the seldom visited shores of the
Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Persia. A
trader in the gulf parlance Of those
days meant a smuggler of arms. ammuni-
ton. and rum. 1t was a strange life. in
which days of great activity alternated
with periods of dangerous case; life in
which il was always either a fast or
feast and the woman liked it, and par
took with her husband or all its dangers
and rewards
Among the customers Of the trader
was the Shereef of Tsj-Mareb. Tai
March is a walled town and a state OF
about dozen square miles. situated in
the Beni-Harjar country on the western
shore OF the Persian Gulf The Shereef
or Sultan. being progressive. determined
TO reorgsnize his arm yand supply Il
with modern arms in order 10 increase
its efficiency as a looting and devastating
force. He. therefore. made a contract
with the trader for a supply of muskets.
and the same were promptly delivered
being condemned ones which the sea
rover had picked up AZ some government
bargain sale But they were built 10 90

were modern compared with the antique
fintlock affairs with which the Shereefs
army had been supplied before. In due

harbor Of Tsi-Mareb and presented bis

After the fight OF the Shereef the trad
er had himself proclaimed in his stead
and settled down 10 the Sultan and trad
ing business at Taj-Mareb. BY work
ing the two traders together he gave a
business boom 10 the old town such as it
had never seen before; but. venturing in
which he had contracted TO deliver TO the
ST. tan of Nejed he was set upon by Bed
ouirs and killed.
The English girl who had joined her
husband at Taj-Mareb continued the gov
eminent OF her dead lord and carried on
hi business at the same old stand. She

But somehow the British got wind OF her
operations and of where all the arms and
ammunition were coming from which the
Arabs of the interior were getting.
If she had been given time the Sultana
would have made all Arabia an armed
camp. which would have been bad for the
peace of the country and especially for
the little colonies which England had dis
tributed along the coast So a British
gunboat steamed up the Persian Gulf, and
the captain thereof told the woman Of
business and power that he would give
her just forty-eight hours to quit. If she
did not shut up shop and abdicate her
throne in that time he would blow her
tow noff the map. She quit, and. taking
what money she could get together at
such short notice. sailed away on the
gunboat Alden and from there took ship
to London.
She was wealthy but woman Of he
active temperament was not content to-
rest in idleness. and as she had in early
life known something OF the washtub. she
returned to her first principles and started
a steam laundry. which is still running

wAsHINGTON's FEATTOBE REPEATED
Crossing the Delaware, the @arcn Z"
Trenton, and Capture of hessIans
to Be Duplicated al
Celebration.

Trenton, Dec. 13.-Washlngton croS''
ing the Delaware, his march on Trenton
and sensational capture OF the hesslah
troops are to be the incidents OF the ce'e'
bration of the 127th anniversary OF t'e
battle on Christmas Day. The celeOra'''
is under the direction of the North Amer-
ican Gun Club of this city.
The club proposes to go to Taylorsvl'''
Pa. Christmas night, and then ear'y '"s
next morning cross the Delaware h'v,F
and march to Trenton oyer the route 'o''
lowed by General George Washington "'i
his army of Revolutionary heroes in l7'6.
1t is possible that the club may have as
much lighting on its hands as did the im
mortal Washington, though not quite Of
such heroic character. Enemies OF the
club have circulated among the farmers
reports to the effect that the proposed
march was really only disguised invasion
of the rural districts for the purpose of
pillaVing hen roosts and carrying off other
available plunder. Many Of the farmers
took the reports in good faith and have
since been preparing all kinds of weapons
to give the invaders reception that
would send them skurrying to the woods.

With the Judge. Appropriate ResOlu'
tiORs We're Passed.

The December term of the circuit Eas
adjourned on last Monday afternoon after
being in session one week. During the
term final DEGREES we're rendered in a
number of important chancery cases.
Some of these cases are of such magni.
tude that it is confidently predicted they
will be taken by appeal to the State Su.
preme Court of Appeals. There were
only two or three cases tried by a jury
aud one of these is likely to be appealed
This was the last term of the court at
which Judge Jackson will regularly pre-
eide, as the circuits have been re.arranged
under the new constitution, and he will
hereafter presi lie over G. circuit composed
OF the counties Wythe, Pulaski, GraysJn
and Carroll.
Judge Jackson is a fine lawyer and ali
impartial and able jurist. He is regar
ded as among the very best judges this
section or any section of the State has had
for many years.
On Saturday, the 18th inst, the Bar Of
Tazewell County met in the court room
and passed the following resolutions:

WAR SECRETARY ACTS FOR WOOD
Saws Some one has Been Giving out
False Representations to the
Press.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Secretary Root
has addressed a letter to Senator Proctor,
acting chairman of the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, which says:
Il enclose letter from Brigadier- Gen
eral Tssker H. Bliss, asking attention to
the report of bis recent testimony before
your committee as a witness regarding
certain objections to the confirmation OF
General Wood. 1t appears that the press
REPORTS of General Bliss testimony are the
precise contrary of what be in fact tesli-
fed.
cat the same time l wish to call the at
lention of the committee to the fact that
some person seems to be persistently fur
nishing to the press false statements Of
the testimony taken before yor. the per-
version of the evidence being in every
case to the prejudice Of General Wool.
1t carnot be doubted that the newspapers
publishing these reports believe them to
be true and that the reports are sent to
them by the representatives of the press
10 good faith, under the same belief. 1t
is evident tnat some person is undertak'
ing to convey to the press representatives
information of what goes on IN the COM
mittee, aud is taking advantage OF the
fact that the evidence is not public to
state it falsely for the purpose of injurlng
General Wood in the public estimation "
