TROUBLES OF AN HElRESs.
Richest Woman In the World Guarded
By Detectives.
TO BE CONTINUED.

BY Detectives.
1t is one of the grim ironies Of fate
that young girl, barely Of age, should
be in a sense responsible for the blood
shed in the struggle between Russia
and Japan, owing to the fact that she
supplied both powers with practically
all Of their guns. The young woman
in question is Miss Krupp, who. on the
death of her father became chief pro-
prietor Of the world-famed Krupp
works at Essen and likewise became
the wealthiest woman in the world.
The heiress seems to have inherited
some Of the family capacity for In
dustrial organization, for she takes the
greatest pride and delight in supervis-
ing the work Of the different depart
ments, and declares that at some fu-
ture time she will have gained suftic-
lent experience to take an active part
in the direction Of affairs.
Meanwhile, her interference in busi-
ness matters Is limited to passive
supervision, but she takes a more act
i've part in controlling the management
Of the numerous auxiliary departments
of the establishment. The schools for
the children Of her employees and the
hospitals for the care Of the sick re-
ceive regular visits from her, and she
has a sharp eye for defects Of all
kinds.
Knowing human nature. it Is hardly
surprising to find that Miss Krupp's
employees do not appreciate her good
qualities and charitable ways. Living
in Miss Krupps houses, sending their
children to her schools, applying to her
hospitals when they or their famllles
are sick, attending her churches, drink
ing beer in her restaurants, buying
meat from her slaughter houses. flour
from her mills, bread from her BAKER
les and hats and clothes from her
stores makes them feel that they are
her serfs, and not free-born laborers.
Miss Krupp's charitable disposition
has become known to the general pub
lie in Germany, with the result that she
receives on an average, over 2OO pure
lv begging letters a day, and over lou
letters daily entreating her to grant
some worthy young man some posltioh
in the works.
She also has to undergo some OF the
inconveniences which are geheraly
confined to emperors and kings. Her
vast wealth and the ownership OF an
entire city make her likely target for
"anarchist" bullets, and her friends are
IN constant terror Of assassination.
For this reason her guardians have IN,
sisted on her being continually guarded
bv a special corps Of detectives, who
are always in her vicinity.-London

Most of u Taken BY tho shsiks and

IT don't believe there is pound OF
genuine Mocha coffee on this CONT

"or that 200 people in this country

Arabian coffee may find Its way TO
this country. It may even be called
Mocha, but It is not the real article
am sure, and none Of us have ever nao
It here, though we do get the best OF
other brands that are grown In Ceyion
and Java, and that means some mighty
fine coffee. 1t Is not Mocha, however.
for the whole Of the true Mocha crop
each year wouldn't supply the cofee
demands Of one ward in st. Louis
alone for a period Of six months. The
best and plumpest berries Of the MO-
cha growth, those with the most ex-
ouisite flavor, are eagerly taken by the
governors and sheiks in the vicinity
and they have to get their orders IN IN

Sometimes a few pounds OF TINS

seldom, and don't believe an ounce

than that. We get the best conee

PAINToN's WONDERFUL CRAFT.
With Multiple Electric Propeller, TO
Cross Ocean In Three DAYS.

With Multiple Electric Propeller, to
Cross Ocean In Three Days.
Preliminary steps were taken yester-
day for the organization Of company
that will build ship that will cross
the ocean in three days. The meeting
was held in the Office of Lewis Nixon,
at No. 26 Cortlandt street. at which was
present Richard Benjamin Painton, in
ventor Of the multiple electric propel-
ler." The plan tentatively agreed up
on Is to build vessel 600 feet In
length, at a cost Of about $2,000,000,
with which, 1t Is confidently asserted.
the passage time between New York
and Southampton will be cut In two.
The inventor claims that forty knots
an hour can be made.
Mr.. Painton lives at Williamsport,
Pa and is a machinist. It was while
working at his trade that he evolved
the idea Of the multiple electric pro-
peller. The device consists Of a series
Of propellers arranged along the side
of a vessel and driven at great speed
by electricity. For torpedo boat de-
stroyer the size Of those at present In
use in the United States navy twelve
propellers would be necessary, six on
each side. In addition, single or twin
screws could be provided, to be oper-
ated alone or jointly with the side pro-
pellers.
Mr.. Painton outlined to World re-
porter yesterday what he expected
would be accomplished through his in
vention.
"One hundred and fifty revolutions a
minute Is the limit Of steam power,
while my electric reversible motors can
make 1900 revolutions a minute" he
said. "The. power is transmitted by
electric wires direct to motors built on
propeller shafts. No betting or coup
ling is required, and the machinery is
simplicity itself. I claim that there ID
practically no limit to the speed OF
the screw under this system.
"The only noise on the new vessel
will be similar to that made by fly
wheel Ill IlOlIOil. AhoShSA oA'ssA1~~~o~ -
that the terrific heat from furnaces and
steam pipes will be obviSted.
A distinct feature is that the screws
extend from stem to stern and thereby
tend to maintain an equilibrium that
will materially diminish the pitching
and rolling motion Of the vessel. The
long shaft being disposed OF, there VIII
be no humping and no jar will be felt
from the horizontal motion.
1.-THE most efficient turbine engine IN
the world will be used, which means .
great saving in weight Of machinery
and in space now occupied by coal.
Steamship propulsion now consumes
5000 tons Of coal at a cost Of $4,000
a trip to Southampton. The electric
ship will reduce the coal consumption
to 1900 tons being saving OF $4,000
on each trip."-New York World.

An Elegant

The University club was entertained
Monday evening by DIR. and Mrs. +. O.
Blanchard at their residence on Main
street, in graceful Acknowledgements OF
the pleasure which the doctor has enjoyed
CD many occasions as a guest OF the clut
members.
Twelve belonging to the organization
and four invited guests assembled at the
appointed hour-6:30 D. m.-and soon
after were usbered into the dining room,
taking their places around a long and
elegantly spread table. A vase of roses
occupied the center, and at either end was
a candlestick with lighted candle, adorn-
ing the scene and serving as a reminder OF
ancient banquets, while electrics flooded
the room with light and gave it a more
modern tone. Beside each plate Law a u pink
or white rose, which the gentlemen pro-
ceeded to attach to their coats.
Misses Grace and Gail Lamson served
IN eight courses, and the club did Justice
to its astronomical reputation, the feast
proceeding with much lively speech to its
close, when the company rose fully i'm
pressed with the conviction that a fine
banquet had seldom, il ever, been served
in Randolph.
Returning to the parlor, the paper pro-
vlded for the occasion was read by Key.
Homer White on 1.-THE Foreign Element
IN Our Population" which was discussed
IN a thorough and interesting manner.
At 10 O'Clock the meeting adjourned after
passing a vote of thanks to Or. md Mrs.
Blanchard for their very hospitable and in
every way pleasant entertainment.
