hill, 30 years OF age. Methodist mis-
sionary, whose ancestors were mis-
sionaries before her. told the big
Methodist camp meeting on the Des-
PLANES river how she saw eleven per-
sons killed and devoured by cannibals.
She was taken to the Caroline islands
when she was six years of age and be-
gan her missionary work when she
was II. In 1900 her parents left the
Carolines. and went to Sidney, Aus
tralia. She remained on the islands
for several months. and then she took
passage on the steamer Aragui for
Sidney. A terrific storm drove the
vessel near the island OF New Ireland.
200 miles northeast OF Australia, and
Miss Tuthill was swept overheard. She
was an expert swimmer and was
picked up by some Christian Malays.
They were subsequently wrecked on q
sand bar. on which schooner was go
Ing to pieces. This bar was two miles
of the cannibal islands.
"As the tide began to rise to free US
the horror began" she said. "One OF
our lookouts gave an exclamation OF
terror. We looked. and there on the
shore we saw a horde of savages COM

shields and spears and heavy clubs.
"They stole down upon the schoon.

The sailors made no resistance. They
had concealed themselves in the hope
of escaping. but one by one. eleven
men in all. they were found. dragged
out and killed with n blow on the
back OF the head with n war club.
Then they dragged the bodies ashore
and prepared for the feast. They
beat on tom.toms and strange drums
THE victims were laid In n circle
on the ground while the savages
brought brushwood and great logs for
the fires. Then n strange thing came.
They seemed actually to make 4 sort
of religious ceremony out OF this hor-
rible affair. They beat their tom.
toms and pulled their hair and uttered
their weird. cultural cries.
THE rest Is too horrIble-how they
! cooked their human food. how they
danced about their victims. how at
last they tore the smoking human
flesh to pieces with their nails and
teeth In mad orgy. The chief ate
first. and then allowed his followers

One of the great fields Of work for
women IS what is called the stitching
industry, in which the sewing machine
is employed. But woman seems to
have gone backward here, as she has
all over the country in the line to
which one would think she is most fit
ted, for there are proportionately few
er seamstresses, tailoresses and dress
makers now than there were in the
decade preceding the lat census. Man

some Of the best prizes. New York.
though, still has an excellent repres-
entation, for the seamstresses are put
down at almost $4,000, while men en-
gagged in similar work are said to be
about 2.700.
New York as the center Of the the
atr1ca1 business of the country gives
1t particularly good representation
In number Of actresses. We are cred
tied with about 1900 at the last offic-
1al count. But any enterprising the
atrical manager will tell you that these
figures were undoubtedly collected in
an off season, for he himself had more
actress than that, great society girls
or reigning bellies. in his office in one
day looking for place in his latest

The chorus girls are included in that
estimate, but in what proportion it is
not stated. sa"1f It's the beginning Of

would say the number Of New York
chorus girls is about 10000, but If you
want some girls to go on the road I
would say that the number is about

Editor Herald,-I have received sew

to the military history of Mr.. A. L..
Cole. They have read in Farmers
Tribune that among his many splendid
qualifications for governor, that he also

I have lived here Is years. Mr.. Cole
has been here the most of the time for
the last 20 years. I have never heard
Of 1t, nor can I find anyone that has.
When he came here he was bitterly
opposed to granting any more pensions
to soldiers, and thought that the most
Of what had been given ought to have
been cancelled.
He has changed his politics 80 often
that have forgotten what party he
claimed to belong to at that time, but
know under what head he would have
been classed in the sixties. II he still
retains the same opinions and is elected

wall that has gone up from many a

seems to have been no response. There

for housework, from the cook to the
maid, but exactly where to find the
efficient ones is the problem that has
not been solved satisfactorily.
Most of the money received each

New York passes first through the
hands of the girl cashier. She is q

many offices. She has not gone into
the saloons or the cafes, although New
York is credited by the census men
with forty eight women bartenders
and several owners of saloons. On the
other hand she has not reached the
receiving or paying teller desk in the
larger banks. That is an innovation

Your scribe's visit to Bamberg was

we scarcely recognized the place.

do credit to a town of much larger
growth. The streets are lighted with
electricity, flowing wells abound
and the new Methodist church build

Peter Stokes, a beloved son Of Hamp-

church, and is esteemed both by his
congregation and the Baptists. We
