NURSED HER OWN SLAVE.
Her Former Mistress Rescues from
Want and Cares for an Aged
( Negress.

st. Louisa bit of sentiment and
pathos of the old south found express
sion when Rachel, an ex-slave, was
buried by her former mistress, Mrs.
Leroy B. Valiant, wife of an associate
justice of the supreme court of Missouri,
from the fashionable family home,
where for five years the aged negress
had been cared for as tenderly as child.
She had been rescued, an invalid and
in poverty, after Mrs. Valiant had spent
two weeks travelling in search of her in
1900, to take care of her during the last
Ave years of the old woman's life.
AS soon as she heard that her former
maid was i'll and in need of assistance,
Mrs. Valiant went to Covington, Ky
where Rachel was supposed to be liv-
ing. But she was not there. BY diligent
inquiry, and after spending two weeks
in the quest, the jurist's wife finally To-
Gated her at Winchester, Ky. She
brought her here, and at the funeral the
Valiant carriage followed the hearse.

NO RACE SUICIDE THERE.
California Woman Becomes the Moth
er of the Twenty Fifth
$3.50 Child,

San Francisco, Cal-At the resi-
dence of Mr. and Mrs John Mello, of
Berkeley, Mrs Mello says: John, we
have another" He replied: "All right,
Maria"
Mrs Mello was born in the Azores
46 years ago. She began married life
at the age of Is, and has had 25 chill
dren. She has been welded twice.
Her first husband was the father of
ten infants, and to John Mello belongs
the responsibility of Is.
Mrs. Mello is the youngest of 20
children by her own mother, and
knows of several additional half-b broth
ers. II don't know just how many -
says Mrs. Mello; II think ten, but
maybe more
After her marriage Mrs. Mello came
with her husband to California And
before she was 16 Manuel arrived to
prove to his grandfather that the fam
lily tradition was just as strong in
the new land as in the old. Such was
the beginning. The records of to-day
show 25 children in 80 years, with
seven pairs of twins among them,
each time, until the last, black-eyed
boy and a blue-eyed girl

FINGER-PRINT QUERIES.
Candidates for Police Job Are Puz-
zled by Examination Tech
nicalities.

Chicago.-"What is an julnar loop?
A whorl? Arches? Tented arches"
One Of the Is men who tried to an
swer these questions and many others
like them is ON the way to fat job in
the city police department, but the civil
service members and employees who con-
Quoted an examination at the city hall
the other day confessed themselves
stumped Some of the, candidates
looked desperate and left blank spaces,
1t has something to do with finger
prints, and the examination was held to
fill the vacant place in the bureau or
criminal identification4
Maybe Pudd'nhead Wilson, Mark
Twains famous character, would
know" said Secretary Corcoran, "but
suppose it's all right, as the questions
were made out and forwarded to us by
st. Louis Identification expert at our
request"
I'll have to take it for, granted that
the questions will bring out the quail
fications of the candidates" said Presi-
dent Errant
The examination was designed to
bring out the qualifications of the ap-
plicants as experts in the Bertillon sys-
tenn.

SAVES CHILD FROM SNAKE.
Dog Kills Reptile Which Had
Wrapped Itself Around Body
of Little One.

Wilmington, Del.-By killing a
blacksnake that had twined itself
about the frail body of five-year-old
Clara Marion, an English bulldog
probably saved the child's life The
girl, with her father, was in the
chicken yard of their home, near the
grounds of the Wilmington Country
club.
Some one had been stealing the eggs
from the coop and Mr.. Marion was in
vestigating. He discovered big hole
in one end of the yard, and thought
rats had been making raids on the
eggs. He stepped to another part of
the Enclosure, when he heard the
screams of his little girl.
Turning, he saw black snake twin
ing itself about his daughters body.
Mr.. Marion was so Mortified that he
could not move. The bulldog with
which the little girl had been playing.
stood near, and when he heard the
child's screams sprang forward, caught
the writhing snake in it's jaws and
dragged it off and killed it. The rep
tile was five feet long. The child was
not injured, but is Frustrated with
fright.

DOME OF CAPITOL TO SHINE
To Be Lighted Up with 5000 Incan-
descent Globes-Plans to Be
Issued Soon.

Washington.-Thre thousand mean
descent globes will soon be placed in
the dome of the capitol and it will then
outshine the dome of the congressional
library, far famed for it's great bril-
liancy. Plans for the lighting have been
drawn by Elliott Woods, the superin-
tendent, and the bids for furnishing and
installing of the new lights will shortly
be issued.
The lights are to be arranged in four
rows around the dome. The first row
will light the large fresco painting at
the top The three other rows will be
at different distances, and so arranged
that they cannot be seen. Only the light
effect will be noticeable. Lights also will
be placed over the eight large oil paint
ings that hang on the wall of the ro-
tunda. The corridors of the building
have just been fitted with new and ex-
pensive chandeliers, which materially
increase the lighting effects through the
building.
The dome of the capitol will soon rank
as one of the handSomeSt of it's kind in
the world, SO many are the improve
ments that are being made. The only
feature that is not complete is the freize
work which encircles the dome about
half way its height. The contract for
the finishing of this work is now under
aevisement.

with tools, has started in to build, I'M
aided, two-story frame dwelling on
a plot of ground recently purchased
by her at Lorraine, suburb of the
city. She has already started the cellar
excavation, and has good portion of
the work done. She has ordered
stone, and plans to put in a heavy
foundation wall
Mrs Hollis feels she will be forced
to call for assistance when it comes
to handling the heavy framing tim
bers, but aside from this she will put
up the house and finish it without
help. The Building Trade council of
the city practically controls the build
ing in the city. They will offer no
objection to the woman doing the
work. In fact, the council has Of
fered to furnish a couple of men to
do any work which Mrs. Hollis is I'M
able to do, but she declares emphat-
ically that she will get along very
nicely after the heavy framing is
done.
Mrs. Hollis declares she will have
but little difficulty in doing the in
side finishing, plastering and paper
ing. Several men residing near her
have offered to lend a hand in dig
ging the cellar, but she prefers doing
the work herself.

COME FROM LICENSES.

and Light and Water Rentals
Sufficient to Run Town of
Silverton, Col.

Silverton, Col.-This village of 1000
people is popularity known throughout
the country as ''the town that runs
itself" The citizens have paid no city
taxes for more than dozen years, yet
the town is one of the most prosperous
in Colorado, and last year had an in
come of more than $4,000 above all ex-
penSeS.
Its entire revenues come from LIQUOR
licenses and water and light rentals.
and the success of municipal ownership
here is such that the citizens would not
go back to the era of private public
service corporations under any circum-
stances Two years ago the local light
ing plant was purchased from the cor
poration which owned it.
Last year it showed a gross income
Of 7,965.4O, including 1900 which the
town charged itself for street lighting.
It's operating expenses were $14,38S,28.
The towns income for water rentals
during the same period was O,OO9. AZ,
and from saloon licenses $14,122. The
total receipts from all sources were
$49,S59.49, an actual surplus over the
towns running expenses of $15,57O.32.
Practically all of this surplus was ex-
pended in additions to the towns water
system, which is valued at approximate
ly $4,000. The lighting plant is an
praised at $4,000. The latter is now
furnishing four times the amount of
current produced at the time of it's pur-
chase by the city two years ago. the
abnormal increase being due to the ex-
ceptionally low price of current.
Light rentals and water rentals are
lower than in any other city in the
west, the minimum charges being 81 so
per month, with meter service. subject
to discount of Is per cent. if paid
when due. The discount on water rent
ais is Is per cent
Under the charter the mayor and
the aldermen act as a board of man
ayers for both the water and the light
ing plants. Not breath of scandal
has ever tainted their efforts In this
direction, though it is recognized here
that a change in the statutes which
would take the management entirely
out OF politics would be an improve
ment on the present system.

Talking Good for the Teeth.

Somebody has advanced a new the
DRY to account for the rapid decay of
the teeth of human kind. 1t is due,
this wiseacre says, to the decline of
conversational powers. Talk exer-
cises the jaws, and jaw exercise is
beneficial to the teeth. The more talk
the more benefit. Our ancestors were
forced to talk because there were few
amusements to silence them. Their
teeth were more shapely and stronger,
and they endured. Nowadays cheap
entertainments of many kinds entice
the teeth owners and cheap literature
of an engrossing character draws them
from the natural exercise that their
molars and incisors so sorely need
