 GERS FOR THE TEAR.

Fourteenth Annual Session of the Con-
 necticut Association Brought to a
 Close With Interesting Programme
 Annual EIection--New Haven Lady
 for Chief.
 Waterbury, May 2o.-Before a gath ering of more than 200 members repre- senting the various clubs of the Con- necticut Association of Women Work CTS, Miss Mary Graham Jones of Hart- ford, at Friendly League hall last night, gave very interesting account of the work that is being done by the Hartford Social Settlement. This in- stitution, which has had such success- full results in bettering conditions in the tenement districts was thoroughly explained by Miss Jones. She spoke of the practical workings of the home, of the progressive classes in sewing, housekeeping and other domestic ac- complishments. The evolution of the small worldly boy of the streets, from his initial appearance in the social set clement to his debut to the various phases of godliness and clanliness, is a most fascinating study. Miss Jones showed how it is working world of good at the settlement on North street in Hartford It's membership numbers 400 and is conducted at an annual cost of $1,S00.
 Nearly 100 guests enjoyed the supper which was served in the entertainment hall at o'clock last evening. The evenings programme was opened by Miss Anna l.. Ward, president of the Friendly league with a brief address of welcome which was followed by a fitting response by Miss Teresina Peck of New Haven, president of the state association. Miss Peck is the daugh- ter of Prof. Tracy Peck of Yale.
 The singing of the Friendly league glee club, the monologue, entitled, Waiting for the Ring,' the recitation by Miss Margaret McNally, and the songs by Miss Elizabeth Edmonds and Mrs. Oscar J. Zeigler were all very en- tertaining and showed what excellent results the Friendly league of this city is accomplishing. The condensed re- port of all the clubs, read by the sec retary, showed that the state organiza- tion was in good financial condition. The three minute club papers, which were such an interesting part of the afternoons programme, were repeated last evening" 'The Educational Part of Club Life," by Miss Mary Connolly,

His unexplained Power.

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 28.-Gov.
Pennypacker was shocked by the news
of Senator Quay's death. The governor
said:
"He had a divine gift. When real
poet, orator or statesman appears
among men there is no need to have
the source of his power explained. It
is felt. For years men have been try
ing to ascertain what was the method
by means of which he won his remark
able and continuous success in diff
cult field. 1t has been a needless and
hopeless task. Now that he is gone
the people of Pennsylvania will know
what they have lost and what they
never quite appreciated. No man in
public life born of our Pennsylvania
people gave such an impression to
those with whom he was brought in
contact of personal and intellectual
power. No other man has been able
to accomplish so much for the substan-
tial benefit of the commonwealth
Pennsylvania may well mourn"

His first vote WAS cast for the nom
inee of the Prohibition party, and his
first public Office was that Of prothon-
otary@of Beaver county, from 1855 to
1861, when he enlisted in the army.
He was made colonel of the One Hun
dred and Thirty-fourth Pennsylvania
infantry soon after his enlistment, and
won a congressional medal for con-
Sp1cuouS galFantry in the field. He had
resigned his command on account of
Ill health and the letter accepting his
resignation arrived on the eve of the
battle of Fredericksburg. Comrades
had placed with him about $35, 600 to
take to their homes, but he offered his
services as aid, went into the battle
with a haversack full of money and
was under fire throughout the battle.
Returning to Harrisburg, he re-enter-
ed the political arena, being elected to
the Pennsylvania legislature in 1864
serving one term. He was secretary of
the commonwealth, 1872-1S7S; recorder
of the city of Philadelphia and secre-
tary Of the Republican state commit
tee, 1S78-1879; again secretary Of the
commonwealth. 1879-1S82; was dele
gate to the Republican national con-
Ventions of 1872, 1876 and 1880: elected
state treasurer in 1885; was elected a
member of the Republican national
committee and was chosen chairman
thereof and ex-officio chairman Of the
executive committee when the COM

that year; was delegate to the Re-
publican national conventions of 1892,
1896 and 1900; was elected United
States senator. taking his seat March
4. 1887, serving two terms; was de-
feated by deadlock in 1899, but was
appointed by the governor to fill the
vacancy though the senate failed to
recognize the validity of the appoint
ment; was again elected to the senate
In January, 1901, serving until his
death
His career as political general and
boss" has been remarkable and sue
cessful one, and while his enemies have
charged him with resorting to oues-
t1onable methods, they have been com

courage and acUmen. His supremacy
In Pennsylvania, as head Of the Re
publican machine, has several times
been disputed, and fights have been
made on him by John Wanamaker and
others. But Quay invariably contrfved
TO rout his enemies and keep his place

\ l. LARPENTEUR, the Anchor
As age, Dale street, has reeeivedsa
copy of an authoritative history of the
place of his forefathers. from which he
had translated some passages on ma
poleon l. ct Ie Pere Barpenteur'
grandfather Of the St. Paul pioneer.
Says Mr.. Larpenteur:
'*This reminds me Of my youthful
days when the good old man who knew
the great Napoleon used to amuse me
with many "reminiscences. Thomery is
situated near Fontainebleau, on the
banks of the Seine, about forty miles
from Paris" The translated section of
this history of the remote little French
village reads:
Napoleon |. ct lie Pere Larpenteur.
AS early as 1891, the Larpenteurs
(Thomas and his wife, Anne Valleaux)
appeared to be strongly attached to
marriage contracts of the Larpenteur
children, which We're drawn up at that
time, bear the signature of Prince Eu-
gene de Beauharnais-a signature as
yet traced with an uncertain hand, the
future prince being then only ten years
of age. In 1874, when Eugene'S father,
Alexander de Beauhamais, perished on
the scaffold, his widow, Josephine
Tascher de la Pagerie, who became
empress of the French a few years
later, was the object of the most deli
cate attentions on,the part of Larpen-
teur, although the latter imperiled his
own life by such manifestations of
sympathy at that time.
This worthy man lived in one of the
ancient mansions of Effondre. To the
local trade of vine dresser, he added
those Of flotelkeeper and fisherman.
His wife had a special talent for the
preparation Of the savory dish of the
"mateIotte" (chowder). Besides, Lar

penteur was deputy to the tax gatherer
of Fontainebleau for the township of
Thomery.
Bonaparte and his consort relished
the 'matelotteS" of Mother LarpenteUr
better than those which were prepared
In the kitchens Of the palace at Fon-
talnebIeau, and they frequently ayailed
themselves of their brief leisure mo-
ments to call upon the Larpenteurs, in
whom Napoleon, as we have already
seen, could place implicit confidence.
Many other inhabitants of the locality
endeaVored to share that confidence.
Whenever they heard that the emperor
was to pass through their little city
they came forth to meet him on the
way, Yariously offering him pears,
strawberries, melons and other prod
ucts of their gardens and orchards Ma
poIeon accepted everything with
smile and a gold coin in return, but
was careful to keep only the finest
melons, the rest of the fruits being in
Variably found by the woodmen the
next day along the forest roads, where
they had been thrown away. It was
common report in Effondre that the
great Napoleon had been seen with a
cantalOupe under his arm and that he
could pick out melons as unerringly
as he could men for office.
The Larpenteurs felt no little pride
and satisfaction in the thought that
from them alone the emperor had no
fear of being poisoned. But many were
the suppressed muTmurs among the
other townspeople, who thought there
should be mutual confidence between
the sovereign and his subjects 1.-The
good Duke of Penthievre," they would
say, "was not that way; he showed
greater regard for the presents offered
to him by our fathers
1t was this LarpenteuTs son who
had the honor of discovering the
process for the preservation Of grapes
with green stalks, and he is the great
grandfather, in the maternal line, of
Capt. Charmeux.
