and inventiveness Of determined per-
sons may accomplish their end by the
use Of the most unlikely and extraor-
dinary means. The materials out of
which this amorphous place OF
worship is constructed consist princi-
pally Of old lumber, scrap iron, odd
pieces of tin, with divers miscellane-
GUS articles of domestic and CONNER
cial use added in apparently promis-
cuous fashion. The lumber has been
nailed from the outside with little re-
gard to the perpendicular or horizon
tai, and fastened together with ties Of
every size and variety from shingle
nail to a railway spike. To summon
laggard worshipers to service there is
a locomotive bell hanging over the en-
trance door, the panels of which are
elaborated with old picture-frame
molding. Pieces Of broken machinery,
garden tools, ETC., are scattered over
the building as ornaments, and from
the dome on top stands out a cross
made Of two curtain poles. The COM
mercial value of the whole structure
is only fraction Of the worth Of the
lot on which it stands. 1t is testi-
mony-curious but inspiring--to the

priest who built and still occupies 1t.

LAST OF THE BLooMERs.
one Lonely Old Woman the Sole Sur
vivor of the Once Famous
Band.

All that remains OF the famous
"Bloomer Band" Of half century ago
is one lonely old woman and a new
word in the dictionary. The term
'bloomers" has survived, but few
know that the word had its origin
In a movement of half century ago
for the revolutionizing Of woman's
costume as first step toward the en-
forcement OF equal rights with men.
The woman who led this band was
Mrs. Anne Bloomer, of New York
Mrs. Bloomer was famous advocate
Of woman's rights, but she attained
worldwide fame only when she called
upon her enslaved sisters to break the
shackles, defy convention and the
male sex and step into the light Of
day wearing trousers, the uniform Of
liberty Not all at once did the little
band of womep who responded to the
Bloomer call cast aside the garb Of
the down-trodden sex. A compromise
was effected in the form Of costume
part trousers part skirt 1t was hide
Gus. nightmare, thing to make
both sexes shudder and seek the woods.
But many women set their teeth and
marched into the limelight wearing
the new "Eloomer" costume.
The entire world shrieked. Tho
Bloomerites were lampooned in type
and picture, even Punch considered
the subject important enough for his
satirical shafts The nerve of some
OF the Bloomerites failed them after
time and the costume became less
and less familiar in the streets Of
American cities. II was generally sup
posed that nothing remained Of the
Bloomer movement but the name. now
applied to more than one kind Of
neither garment. But there is one
Boomer" woman still living and still
boldly facing a mocking world, wear
ing the costume adopted at the time
of the futile movement Of half a
century ago This last survivor Of the
famous Bloomer brigade Is Susan
Fowler, Of Vineland, N. j. For 40
years she has titled her farm, gath
/ cTtu uti nal fcol anu Slda IL thc U.s.
tune to which she has ever remained
faithful, has driven to market to sell
her produce. Indifferent to the atten-
tion she attracts, the only living
Bloomer woman walks the streets OF
Jersey town or tolls On her farm,
dressed in the garb over which the
comic papers of the world cackled
with merriment in the ffties. 1t may
be funny to some, but it is little
pathetic, too, to see the lonely old
woman (for she is so years Of age
and works and lives in solitude)
clinging stanchly to the dress she un-
dertook to wear when women were
calling on their sisters to discard the
skirt Of thraldom and be free like
men.
