WAS SHE A NEGRO?.
A Woman Forced to Leave Wash
 ington Hotel.

The guests of hotel north of APennsylvania avenue were thrown Into W state of mind recently by q FNrenubus presentation of the race issue, which was precipitated by a religious discussion and followed by the election of a woman boarder who claimed that she was a Spaniard and the daughter of Sagasta, the late Prime Minister of Spain, says the Washington Post.
 The denouement was the result of 3 quiet investigation by. the hotel management and some of the guests and which, they say, disclosed tho , fact that the woman was the daught- CT of negro parents. At the usual parlor gathering after dinner she was interrupted by the gentleman who had led in the Investigation, who, during spirited colloquy, told her she was of negro blood. Seizing an umbrella she attacked him, striking him across the face. The umbrella broke at the second blow and the en- ragged woman jabbed her denunciator in the left ear with the part remain ing in her hand. The man explained last night that he could not strike n woman, and had to take out his re- sentiment in telling her all the things claimed to have learned about her.
 The woman and her. daughter were ordered to leave the hotel, which they did the next morning.
 The alleged Spanish woman of high degree had been guest of the hotel months before suspicion as to her antecedents was aroused. She became acquainted with most of the people who resided in the house, and whom she met in the parlors. Much of the conversation was about Spain and ''her people,"
 One day q business man of the locality asked the proprietress why she was entertaining negro" The landlady thereupon instituted an in. vestigation as to the antecedents of her guest. Two of the male guests volunteered to conduct the investi. gation and unravel the genealogy ot the woman. They discovered, SC they say that instead of being what she represented herself to be she was the daughter of negro, whose wid ow is living in this city. One of the Investigators declares that the wo. man married a negro, a former em ploye of the Postoff1ce Department.
 It is claimed that the woman al one time was employed at the Bur gnu Of Engraving and Printing, from where she is said to have been dis charged.

A Fisherman's Catch.

The outline of fish on a time taD-- and the imprint of clam and five dollar bill on postal card were found among the contents of a pocketbook fished out of Fox lake the other day, says the Chicago Tribune. The pocket book belonged to G. A. Ebbott ofl7044 Yale avenue and had lain at the bot tom of the lake since Sept. 10, 1908. When c. B. Chase, florist of Chicago, who was fishing for bass, reeled in his line, he found that the frog bait had become detached from the hook, and in it's place was tattered wallet. The purse contained Identification cards, $10 in money and railroad tickets. On time table is the distinct outline of a Ash two and half inches in length, and all through the papers were found the outlines of clam shell.

BUSINESS WOMEN.

The business woman Is none the less woman because she Is in busi ness, ands there is, I think, nothing more honorable than the woman who boldly goes out, because necessity prompts her to do so, and makes her way in some financial undertaking, says Lady Henry Somerset in the Philadelphia Bulletin.
 Again and again I have known in. stances of men who have failed in business who have had homes of ease and comfort, whose wives have never flinched when it became necessary for them to become bread winners and have opened shops in the most fash ionable thoroWghfares. They have not been ashamed to serve behind thcir own counters and to sell to the friends whom they have often met in the 1 equality of social intercourse. For such I have nothing but admiration. Moreover there are many brave girls who find it necessary to earn their living by working in banks, ln the postoff1ce, in government offices and financial houses to-day.
 There is, however, as I have al ready said, one form of business life which I strongly deprecate, and that 1 is only too common at the present time.
 | x A girl has n good home, perhaps, md nothing much to do. She wishes to increase her annual income in or der that she may have more to spend upon her pleasures, and consequently | it comes about that one of the great t. est hindrances to the success of the wage earning woman is created by l the fact that there are hundreds eS- pecially of young women, who go into the labor market from homes of ease and comparative affiuence simply to eke out their pin or pocket money. | By accepting less than living wage they do an incalculable injustice to their sisters who require a living wage in order to live. Every woman | who sets out to earn her own living ought to see that the fact that she does so injures no other one who needs the same provision in order to exist.
 But to turn to the strongest objec. ton against business life for women recognize in spite of all that may be said or denied, that there is nc question to my mind that in business life the serious handicap to woman Is generally health. It is useless to min. imize this aspect of the question. II exists. They do not run an equal race with men in this respect.
 Then there are other difficulties con, nected with clothing with right feed ing and with the treatment of the physical side of existence, which must occupy a larger space in n woman's life than in mans. Anxiety and un, easiness break a woman quicker thar l they do a business man. She puts hel whole soul into her work with greater eagerness, eXpends more of her vita force, gives herself to whatever sht undertakes sand consequently out wears herself more easily.
 At the same time 1 strongly oppose the idea that woman who has beer trained to business life is in any way unfitted for domestic life. Such al education would only tend to make her understand more readily her hus bands difficulties, perplexities, anxi cities. The trouble is that most mer can never talk with perfect equality tC l their wives.

BOOKS DESTROYED.

NOC HVen the bOOKkeeper Oan Iell
 How the Funds Are Distributed.
 At the close of the campaign of 1S96-which was by long odds the greatest political contest ever seen in this country-Mr Hanna rested from his arduous labors. At the last mo- ment there came an urgent appeal from Nebraska for another allotment of funds. 'If we had fifty thousand more," telegraphed the chairman of the republican committee in that state, i've would carry Bryan's own state for Mckinley" MT Hanna wanted to help the men who had made such gallant struggle for the electoral vote of Bryan's home, but he did not suppose there was dollar left in his treasury, and it was too late to get out and raise more. He was about to wire his refusal when Secretary Heath remarked:
 eff it Is only lack of funds that troubles you, you need not stop, Mir Hanna. We have more than hun dred thousand dollars on hand"
 "Whatr' exclaimed MT Hanna, ''the campaign at an end and money still in the treasury? I never heard of such a thing. Are you sure?'
 Mir Heath produced the books to prove his statement, and the Nebras- ka committeeman got the fifty thou sand dollars they wanted, though they were not successful in carrying the state with it.
 During national campaigns the books of the treasurer and manager are kept in a peculiar way. Instead of entering accounts by name, each account is given a number, and IS thus carried throughout the campaign. The key to this legendary system fs known only to two or three trusted | men, and the accountants who keep the books have not the slightest knowledge of what state committee or other organization or individual stands behind the number. After the campaign is over the books are burn ed and all the records, except possi- bly, some private memorandum kept | by the manager, are wiped out of ex- istence. Such a thing as the audit l ing of campaign expenditures was never known, and probably never w,ill 1 be known. so far as national cam paigns are concerned. Everything is l trusted to the honor of the responsible men, and have never heard that any of the managers of a national | campaign were suspected of betrayal of their trust in any way.-Walter | Wellman in September Success

A Marvellous orchid.

A wonderful orchid, named the Cradle of Venus," was the chief at traction at the recent exhibition of flowers, fruits and vegetables held in Horticultural hall at Boston. says the New York Times. It is shaped like the old fashioned cradle, with the old style covering at the head and the boat shaped body. Instead of the form of baby being seen inside, how ever, the throat of the orchid Is 0 perfect representation of bird. The bird and the cradle are both of pale yellow The eyes of the bird are Q dark brown. .
