Seeking Adventure.

There is a plucky irish girl named Beat
rice Grimshaw who Is probably having a
higher average of adventures per week
at present than any other girl living Be
coming tired of editorial work on An Irish
cycling paper, she conceived the idea OF
setting out alone to roam the South seas,
where pirates, cannibals and leper colonies
abound.
News from her has just been received in
dicating that she is having all the excite
ment she hoped for. She has kept as far as
possible out OF the track of the monthly
mall steamers, travelling about as the sole
passenger on irresponsible little schooners
to islands where white women never had
been seen before. and landing wherever
possible for exploration tours in places
crack shot with Q rife comes in handy
likewise the further fact that she is a
champion swimmer.
In a letter written from the FIJI islands
Miss Grimshaw says. IT have managed to
make trip right through the interior OF
one of the two Fiji islands, and am start
ing for the second now. have been living
for weeks in native villages, fifty miles
from the nearest whites. / took the trip
alone except for my F1Jian carriers. There
are no roads In these wilds and you can
barely get a horse through. l mean to
make a book out of my experiences.
The captain of the schooner Countess,
known 10 every mariner in the south Pa
olfc as the maddest little dare devil in
that part OF the world, is authority for the
observation that Miss Grimshaw Is the
piuckiest woman he ever met. That was
after a cruise in which he ran his ship
into danger so often that he lost his GER
tihcate-a cruise on which, believe, this
adventurous Irish girl was the sole pas
senEer.
Miss Grimshaw writes that she has had
an amusing reception in one place where
the native women had never seen a white
woman before. They insisted on feeling OF
hearts were won instantly when the visitor
showed them how she did up her hair. As
their costumes consisted OF nothing to
speak OF they were less interested in the
latest styles in dressmaking The men
we're 90 shy that the newcomer found II
almost impossible 20 exchange any sort Of
ideas with them.
The life OF these people," she says, has
a peculiar charm. There Is no rushing to
catch trains or mails. II you can't finish
anything today there are a hundred tOmor-
rows. Why should you hurry? Time moves
leisurely and It is easier to walk than to
run. Food is cheap. The fashions have
a comfortable pevmanence and existence is
free from care"

When Miss Mable Hemingway was mar
ried several days ago she was presented by
John d. Rockefeller with a beautiful villa
and a check. Her father Is superintendent
Of the Rockefeller estate in Pocantlco Hills.
Miss May LANG, daughter OF the Chinese
minister, Is quite the most picturesque fig
ure in Washington society. She returns to
the legation with her father this week,
after a delightful summer spent in Massa-
chusetts. most of the time at Amherst
where the minister has placed his sons,
Arlee and Arlu, in school.
Miss Katherine r. Conway, the editor Of
the Boston Pilot. has accepted an invitation
to stand as the New England sponsor for a
movement which has been launched by
Marie Cahill to establish summer home
for the chorus women OF the American
stage, the governing body to be known as

Mrs. Saidee Knowland Coe of Evanston,
Ill, who died a few days ago in California,
has left musical work in the melodrama
of 'Hiawatha' which seems destined to
become a memorial TO the author, The
portions of Longfellow's epic Of Indian life,
genuine Indian themes being used In its
construction.
The foremost woman painter in Germany,
Fraulein Crete Waldau, mas recently been

Mrs. Z. J. Way, from South Africa. has
been winning honors as a crack shot in an
English shooting tournament. Clad In

In a sweepstake made 81 out of possible IS.
When aiming she brings the brim of her
hat closely over the sight, so that the bar

shoots with great steadiness.
Attention was called lately to the pitifully
small wages paid to we'll educated women
engaged In clerical labor in London. II Is
to offer an outlet for this surplus that Lady
Warwick is conducting at Studley castle,
Warwickshire, an agricultural and horticul-
tural college. The school was founded
eight years ago and has provided many
young women with useful and fairly re-
munerative work, and there are more re-
quests for trained workers than can be sup
piled. At present there are about forty
students.
In Chicago the first real cooperative So
cial settlement house is being erected by
Mrs. Harriet NJ Van de Wart, we'll known
clubwoman and social settlement worker
For some years she has been the head of a
small settlement in thrifty community
composed Of mechanics and laboriug men
and II has long been her ambition to build a
large house which would serve a social
center for the community. Every one who
desires may belong to the association and
many of the members have bought one or
more IS shares.

Artist in Wood Engraving.

It is admitted by authorities that the
greatest achievement in wood engraving
has been reached in America, since our
artists have carried 1t to a degree of per-
lection unparalleled anywhere else in the
world The only woman in America who
practices the art Is Miss Caroline A. Powell
of Boston. Her work is remarkable for
its brilliancy of effects In pure black and
white, requiring the most delicate skill in
its manual execution and feeling and in
vention with respect to the correct inter-
probation of values and textures of a very
high order. The method being a relief pro-
cess the varying values are obtained by
the most delicate cutting Of lines dots and
minute picks. Blacks are obtained by leav-
ing the wood untouched and pure white
by cutting the wood entirely away. Miss
Powell, who was born in Dublin, Ireland,
was a pupil OF Timothy Cole and studied
drawing at the National Academy Of De-
sign.

LOCAL SUBMIss ION AND LOCAL CONTROL

"When are you coming out
fatfooted for Prohibition" Is a
question put to US by a friend a
few days ago. This gentleman
has been reading our editorials
ever since we have been writing
them. He knows our position
as well as we do. He was close
at hand when we put into prac-
tical shape our opposition to the
State dispensary, and we now
say to him, and to all others,
that our position remains the
same today. We are not in
favor of Prohibition, but we are
opposed to the State control of
the liquor management. We are
opposed to Prohibition, because,
Notwithstanding the arguments
of it's advocates, we do not be-
lieve a prohibition law can be
successfully enforced. and unless
it is successfully enforced the
effect will be worse for the cause
of temperance than the present
mode Of handling the stuff. We
are in favor of giving the peo-
pie the opportunity to express
their wishes upon the liquor
question, and to let them have
whatever system a majority de-
clare for. The Brice Act gives
the people of each county the
power to vote out a dispensary
if they deem it wise; true it
takes a majority, but if it did
not, the putting out of a dispen-
sary in a county where the mai
ority want one, would amount to
no public sentiment favorable to
the enforcement of Prohibition,
and therefore, worse than a
farce. On the other hand if a
majority say they do not want
liquor sold, there is a strong
probability OF the public sentl-
ment backing such an expression
and of the laws enforcement.
If this county, for instance, was
to vote away the dispensary, it
would be our duty, and the duty
of every good citizen to hold up
the hands of the majority and
aid them in the enforcement of
the law. The columns of this
paper would expose violations
of the law if the evidence can be
procured, Nevertheless, it is
our honest belief that Prohlbl-
ton would prove a failure; we
would have the evil here, stalk
ing impudently about: and no
means to enforce the law. Pro
hibitionists may make as many
extreme promises to see that
