RUNS FURNITURE FACTORY
Enterprising Danish Girl Studied
Cabinet Making and Then
Launched Into the Business.

A visit to the furniture factory
OF Miss Chatherine Horsball al
Copenhagen, Denmark, is de
scribed by Allen Monroe Foster in
the Housekeeper. Telling how
she came to enter this business,
Miss Horsball said:
about the time most girls be
gin to use needle and make doll
clothes | became possessed of the
conviction that a saw and plane
were the most desirable things in
the world. My parents at first
stOutly refused my daily petitions
for Il tool chest, saving il would
surely be the means of my MAIN
ing myself for life But, oh. how
! lOnged for that tool chest What

length one day my parents, upon
finding me in possession of plane
nearly as large as myself, which |
had borrowed from a neighbOr
when he wasn't at home, decided
that. after all. toy tools might be
the less dangerous of the two. and
rejOiced my soul by presenting me
with really handsome and prac-
teal tool chest, which | received
with a burst of tears-the happi
ness was too great From that
moment my calling was assured"
In the meantime we were going
through the busy factory and as
Miss HorsbalI stopped by each
workman. criticising, praising or
suggesting, il was plain that the
smallest detail of manufacture
was familiar to her.
Noticing that all the furniture
under way was of high grade, |
inquired:
Don't YOU make any plain fur
niturc"
NO; very little. We make
mostly all furniture from my own
designs. This is more interesting,
as well as more remunerative."

TRAGIC DEATH OF WRIGHT.
Fate of Promoter TopI OF Discussion

abS vi TEOmOIST I OPT g ot 6t@0@Wmt~W
In London.
London, Jan 27-The inquest over
the remains of Whitaker Wright, who
died suddenly yesterday, after being
sentenced to seven years penal servi-
tude for fraud, will be held tomorrow.
The tragic event is the one topic
Of interest, and is everywhere dis
cussed in all its features. The possi-
bility of the promoters escape from
Justice by suicide was clearly fore
seen by Detective Willis, who brought
Wright from New York. Acting on
hints dropped by Wright during the
voyage, Willis gave the court offi-
cials a special warning to keep the
closest guard over him Toward the
conclusion of the trial, especially dur
ing Justice Bigham's severe criticism,
1t became evident that there could
only be one verdict, so if Wright was
determined on self-destruction in case
Of conviction, he had time to prepare
method for outwitting the jailer. as
he must have foreseen that an adverse
verdict was inevitable.
A strange document was found on
the seat in court which had been occu-
pied by Wright showing that he had
premonition of his sentence. This
was sheet of blotting paper on which
he had scribbled during the Justices
summing up. The Roman characters
wi" were thickly scattered on the
sheet This was before the verdict,
but the number comedies with the
sentence he received. In the middle
of the sheet appears the word ''in-
tent" the last word Wright wrote.
The opposition papers continue max
ing trenchant comments on the gov
ernment which, they say, declined to
do its duty for reasons now shown to
have been absurd in law and which
are always repugnant to common
sense"
The handling of this matter" says
The Westminster Gazette, has re-
aected more discredit on the govern
ment than its other mistakes with
even graved consequences. Distin-
guished people were involved and
some of them have had happy es-
capes."
The Financial News on this point
says:
Wright might have made disclos-
ures which may have seriously dis
comforted some people, but he was
loyal as well as courageous, and he
carried his secrets to the grave. To
prevent others from divulging what
he chose to conceal, he DESTROYED
many papers, thus completing his sac
riice."
