HER TITLE is CLEAR.
An Achievement Unique in Sunday
.~ School History.
Miss Maggie Albany, 81 Years Old, Has
Not Missed Single Session OF
Her Glass for Almost 1900
Sundays.

AS merited acknowledgment OF hav-
ing attended Sun6ay-school without q
single interruption for % years, the,
Ebenezer Methodist church, Of Phlla-
delphia, presented recently to Miss Mag
gle Albany gold watch in commence
ration of the achievement, which, I'M
doubtedly, has never been eQualed In
the history of Sunday schools. Since she
was three years old Miss Albany has at
tended regularly. She has not missed
session for almost 1,500 successive Sun
days. Is there anyone else, anywhere
else, of whom this can be said? Is not
Miss Albany justly called the champion
Sunday-school scholar of the world?
In making her unique and difficult rec
ord Miss Albany has been called upon to
perform many heroic and strange
feat. The following are three cases in
point:
She had been nursing, in Phoenixville,
a friend who was i'll. When Sunday
morning came she took the train for
Manayunk, the station nearest to her
church. Sixteen miles from town, how
ever, the train came to halt before
wreck, and it was announced that it
would be evening before the tracks would
be cleared and traffic resumed.
Miss Albany looked at her watch. 1t
was nine o'clock in the morning. The
gro, nd was frozen hard, and now and
then furry of snow fell. She set out
to Manayunk, and five hours later she
reached Sunday school. Her shoulders
were white with snow, her thin shoes
were wet and cut. She limped little,
and she was ravenously hungry. With
out mishap she got through the session,
but for the next five days she was so
stiff and sore that she had to walk with
a cane.
A painful but not serious illness kept
Miss Albany in bed month some five
years ago. Each Sunday afternoon this
month her mother dressed her; she was
helped downstairs; her father lifted her
into his carriage, and wrapped her we'll
in blankets. She was then driven to
Ebenezer church and attended the ses-
sions.
During the session she reclined In a
comfortable rocking chair, and at it's
end she went straight home to bed.

Tossed Beach.

On the outer sea coast line where
stretches the Bonded arm Of Massachu-
sets far into the broad Atlantic, at High
land light, Cape Cod. has just been es-
tablished wireless telegraph plant by
the United States navy department.
The station at this point is located on
the northern extremity Of the light
house reservation and within less than
100 feet of the marine signal station OF
the Boston chamber of commerce. The
blue clay bluff here rises in sheer and
almost perpendicular ascent from the
beach 140 feet and the waves thunder
at it's base when the gale lashes them
into fury.
The Boston Globe says that on this
storm-swept cliff rises, 100 feet from
the ground, huge staff, and at its ut
most top, from a small projecting arm,
pointing heavenward, swings the wire
which is to catch the electric spark sent
out from some passing ship and trans
nit it to the instruments in the office
of the operator. A man standing at
the top of this high staff looks down
on the sea washing the sandy shore $50
feet below.
This Geographic mast is made in three
sections, the lower Of Oregon pine, 26
inches in diameter at the base and %
inches at the hounds. 1t is 102 feet In
length and its base sets in solid concrete
to depth of 13 feet. From its top run

mast, to sand anchors 20 feet beyond the
main staff anchors. The topgallantmast
is 30 feet, and is guyed to the same an
chors which hold the topmast. A rope
ladder like the ratlines on ship af-
fords means for reaching the top of the
mast.

Through Georgia" To every confed'
crate it sounds like the pean OF tri'
umphant foe.
Consequently, when Laura Talbot
Gait lastspring refused to sing this song,
which somehow or other had crept into
the melodies of her class in school, and
this refusal caused an official investiga-
ton in the Louisville public schools, con-
federates were greatly pleased. Such
decided method of showing resent
ment struck their fancy.
Since then it has been impossible for
little Miss Gait to accept all the Invita-
tons to attend reunions and confed-
crate gatherings. The last reunion she
attended was that of the Georgia con-
federates, at which movement to have
her made daughter Of the Confederacy"
received great impetus, and some think
1t likely that this GROWING mark Of
recognition will be hers.
Meanwhile Laura Talbot Calf, un-
spoiled by the praises she has received.

lives with her grandmother, Mrs. Ross,

HORACE NEWTON ALLEN.
American Minister to Coren IL
Thoroughly Familiar with the
AfYairs of That Country.

Horace Newton Allen, who is Uncle
Sans minister to Corea, figures to some
extent in the troubles that now beset
the ruler of the country. Minister Allen
is we'll known in Chicago, having been
in charge of the Corean exhibit at the
Columbian worlds fair. He was med
ical missionary of the Presbyterian
church before he became diplomat, and
for a time was physician in the palace
at Seoul. Minister Allen brought the
first Corean mission to Washington, and
was made minister resident and consul
general in 1897, being promoted to his
present position in 1901. He was born

and also attacked Mrs. Rogers title to
the patents, defying her to assert her
rights. Mrs. Rogers Immediately or
ganized a company and began manu-
featuring her husbands goods on a
small scale.
The Federal Supply company's act
raised up host OF business friends for
her, and she quickly built up a thriving
business. When it came to the notice
of the Federal Supply company the
price was cut to the actual cost of pro-
duction, and her limited capital for
babe competition at these ruinous
rates.
In vain she tried to get All injunction,
but lawyers laughed at her and absolute
" refused to touch the case on the
ground of priority OF art, as the most
celebrated patent lawyers and patent
experts insisted that springy metal wire
and steel shavings were equivalent to
the steel turnings employed in the
Rogers patents.
Almost crazed at the certainty of los
ing her entire fortune and enrichlng
others through her husband ingenuity,
she appealed to Miss King, who instant
" realized that the suit piyoted on a
question of equivalents. She made ex-
haustive experiments with steel shay
inss which are cut with the grain of the
metal. and discovered that under tre-
mendous pressure and friction, the
shavings were ground to dust and were
therefore valueless. Spiral wires
scratched when placed perpendicularly
in the journal box and if laid horizontal
w the cotton waste slipped out, leaving
the coils of wire lying useless in the bot
tom of the journal box, thus quickly
proving their inadeQuacy.
But the steel turnings, cut transfers.
" from the end of a rod, held the cotton
waste with thousand teeth of steel,
NOR could it be torn or plucked out by
hand or machinery. And the cut against
tho grain gave the finest power of re-.
sistance. for it withstands pressure and
friction and produces the ideal condi-
tions that have made the Rogers goods
famous.
The Chicago Tribune says Miss Kings
final argument lasted half day, for,
womanlike, she had the last word, and
, most conclusive word it proved to be.
She marshaled her arguments as gen.
oral does all army, and her line Of de-
fsnse. built up in the many months of
careful study, was impregnable, and she
won the biggest legal woman's victory
vet chronicled in the United States, II
pat in the world.

OBITUARY,

Sylphina NJ. Larrabee was born in
Cattaraugus county, N. Y, Jan. 81,
1885, and in early childhood came with
her parents, Ira and Par1ina LARA
bee, to Kenosha county, where the
greater part OF her life was spent.
| She was one of family of twelve
children, only three of whom now re-
main: Mr.. N. r Larrabee of Keno
sha, Mrs. E. L. Ho11ister of Salem,
and Mrs. L. E. Coffin of Waukau,
Wis. On Jan. 5, 1891 she was married
to Mr.. E. r. Stone of Fairwater, Wis,
taking the place of sister who had
gone before. AT O'Clock on the
morning of Sept. IS, 1904, she passed
to her eternal rest, at the home of H.
H. Stone near lola, Wis.,, with whom
she and her husband had been living
for the past two years. Seven years
ago last February she suffered a
slight stroke of apop1exy from which
she never fully recovered and which
was followed by others, and so under
mined her strength that for some
time she had been unable to care for
her home and had lived with friends.
The funeral services were held al
Fairwater Sunday afternoon, Sept. Is,
and she was laid to rest by the side OF
two other sisters in the Alto cemetery,
there to await the resurrection of the
just.
Her life was one of he1pfu1ness to
all as long as she was able to do for
them, and it can be truly said of her
as of one of old, "She hath done what
she could" Rev. B. F. Sanford, of
Ripere, preached from the text, 81 GO
to prepare a place for you" She
had been a member of the M. E
church since young womanhood.

SEEK A LOST CHILD.
Residents Of Durkee Avenue Turn
Out in Numbers to Look for
Little Jimmy Johnson.
CHILD MISSING FOR HOURS.

Little Jimmie Johnson, bright
four year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Car
Johnson who resides at 712 Durkee
avenue, caused no end of trouble for
the people residing on the avenue last
Tuesday afternoon. The little fellow
strayed away from home just after
dinner and for more than four hours
the people residing in the neighbor-
| hood of the Johnson home searched
! for him. At the end Of the long search
the little fellow returned to his home
unattended and stated that he had
been sleeping down on the lake shore.
The boy left his home right after
dinner and the members of the family
becoming alarmed about his disapa
pearance asked the aid of the neigh
bors in searching for him. In a short
time the women and children of the
neighborhood were patroling the lake
shore expecting to find that the little
boy had fallen into the lake and was
drowned. The police Office was noti-
fed of the disappearance of the child
and pair of b1uecoats hurried to
assist in the search. The members of
the family were distracted by the con-
tinued absence of the child. Late In
the afternoon when the searchers had
almost given up Jimmy" came walls,
ing into the house. He had been sleep
ing under bush along the shore of
the lake. The little fellow was almost
frozen when he got home.
