Special 70 The Herald.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass, March 10
In his annual report President Seelye of
Smith college, after noting the high
standard of health and the fact that
the largest number of invalids is i'll
the entering class, says
ITO determine how marriages and
births are affected by a collegiate edu-
cation there should be an extensive
comparison between collegiate and nom
collegiate women in corresponding So
cial and physical conditions.
"Due credit should also be given to
the abundant testimony that majority
of women improve physically, as well
as mentally, during their college course.
"Their graduates are better qualified
for wifehood and motherhood. They
are as ready to wed as other women
when the right man wooes them, but
many causes now lead men in active
life to postpone marriage, and the
longer it is postponed the less inclined
they are to assume its responsibilities.
"Women cannot take the initiative
and seek husband. Daughters in this
country at least are no longer con-
tracted in marriage by their parents.
Marriages of convenience are not
made as often by college graduates, for
they do not feel obliged to marry in
order to escape proverty or dependence.
There are fewer divorces among them.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PHILADELPHIA, March 10.-Meet-
ing by chance in boarding house after
a separation of ten years, Mrs. Ella NJ
Robson and Edward ]. LIE Saint, both
members of the theatrical profession
and in former days sweethearts, de-
cided to be married. The meeting took
place only week ago, and the wedding
is to take place in March, so 1t will be
seen at a glance that the second court
ship was not long one.
In the years that they have been sep
arated both have been married and di-
vorced, yet Mrs. Robson is only 26 and
her husband 29. Mrs. Robson's stage
name Is Eleanore K. Gaines.
A decade ago she and LIE Saint made
their debut in the same travelling theat-
ricaI company. Their affection for each
other was marked, and every member
OF the company supposed that they
were engaged. But adversely came up
on the manager, and in the anxiety of
each member to get back home the
sweethearts became separated.
From that time until they met week
ago in the boarding house at Sixth and
Vine streets neither heard of the other.
Mrs. Robson says it was love at Sec
ond sight" She was divorced last year
and LIE Saint in 1903. LIE Saint is now
on theatrical tour, and as soon as he
returns they will be married in this
city.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Since his
return to Washington, Senator Depew

newspaper men, and has been so sue
cessful that none of them has got with

instructed the doorkeepers not to bring
him newspaper mems cards, and 1t is
impossible to get to see him at his

Yesterday the senate elevator, going
up, reached the senate floor. In it were
two newspaper men. Mr.. Depew was
hurrying toward it and 1t stopped to
receive him. The senator saw who the
two occupants were, turned abruptly,
and shot down a corridor out of sight.
Changed, isn't he?" said one of the
passengers.
YES" returned the other, 'if any
one wants to see Depew take a hurdle,
all he has to do is to hide in bush
as he goes by and make noise like a

RESCUER FINDS LOST LOVE
Suitor and Sweetheart of Years AGO
Reunited as by Trick
of Fate
Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, March 10-John A..
Dahler, who is 27 year old, was, in
1899, workman in the factory of Au-
gust Won Reid, a rich percussion cap
manufacturer in Germany.
Herr Won Reid's beautiful daughter
fell in love with the woung man, who
had been allowed to make his home in
her fathers mansion.
When Herr Won Reid discovered his
daughters heart secret, he discharged
Dahler and sent the girl to a convent.
Dahler came TO the United States and
went into the oyster business and later
drifted TO Elizabeth City, N. c., where,
in time he became planter and
amassed a fortune.
The girl meantime had fled from the
convent and sought her sweetheart in
America, but could obtain no clue to
his whereabouts.
Dahler, who had come to Jersey City
to visit friends, went skating. A grace
full girl who was skating in advance
of him suddenly disappeared. She had
fallen into an airhole in the ice. Call
ing upon some other skaters to hold
his feet, Dahler went headforemost into
the alrhole and presently brought the
girl to the surface. She was his sweet
heart. The reunited couple left for
Elizabeth to be welded.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, March 10.-The pink
coated, make-believe steeplechasers,
who rode to hounds and make love in
"Gallops," the new comedy of Long
Island hunt club life at the Garrick
were given the scare Of their lives last
night when something went wrong in
the Hunt Ball' scene of the last act.
But their scare was nothing COM
pared with the one half a dozen mem
bers of the orchestra received when, in
the most interesting part of the pi-
noche game under the stage, a horse
came tumbling through the ceiling.
They-the musicians, cards and
counters-scattered in all directions
just as the actors themselves did. And
as for the audience, it did little scat
tering on it's own account.
1t was an accident and a lucky one
for everybody-eXcept the horse. He
was a docile old animal who had been
taught to buck at command. AS freak
of the Long Islanders in the play the
horse is brought into the dining room
and Charles Richman, who plays the
hero role and wins the steeplechase,
rides him for the edification of the rest
of the guests.
That was what was intended last
night. But just as old Tim was get
ting in his fanciest bucking and Rich
man was hanging on for dear life, the
old vag landed on all fours on a trap
door. There was a crook and in a
twinkling Tim disappeared through the
stage, to the amazement of the pinochle
players, as aforesaid.
The play came to halt as the rest
of the actors broke for tall timber. Mr..
Richman fell off his mount and came
rolling in his pink coat toward the
footlight. The company gradually got
it's wits together and went on with
the play.
At midnight the old horse was still
under the stage, and the whole theater
force was doing mathematical prob
lens to find way to get him out. Be
side four badly scratched legs and a
desire to cease to be an actor Tim
wasn't hurt.

Audience of the Best Cure for

NEW YORK, March 10.-"Sleep out
of doors if you want to know the wild
joy of living was the advice given to
society women by Mrs. Blanche C. Mar
tin, an apostle of outdoor life, follow
ing a recital which she gave in the
Waldorf yesterday afternoon.
II have slept out of doors in cor
rer of my piazza summer and winter
for five years, and in that time 1 have
never had a cold, though on several
occasions it was twenty degrees below
zero" she said. 'I believe that it is
a cure for nervousness and many kinds
Of pulmonary troubles. From expert
ence 1 know that few hours spent
in sleep out of doors is far more ben
eficial and refreshing than twice the
time in bedroom, even with the WIN
dows open. The buoyant feeling in
the morning following sleep out of
doors is one that surpasses description.
Awnings properly constructed and
let down when 1t rains will be suffi-
cient guard against getting wet.
Il wear just simple white linen or
muslin nightgown.
Il wouldn't advise any of you to be-
gin sleeping out very cold night, but
for a woman who would like to start
this kind of weather would be all
right. Have plenty of warm bedding,
good blankets, and you'll be comfort
able On the coldest kind of nights. I
would suggest for such an outdoor
sleeping room a second story veranda
-one where the cot can be placed in
a sheltered nook, but if this is not pos
sible then fix up room on the roof
with a top, and have the sides ready
to be let down in storm"
Mrs. Martin is a remarkably healthy
looking woman, and has such red
cheeks that every one in the audience
who saw her and heard her read
longed to be like her.
