THE liza 30 WORLD. 81
ST. BERNARD MONKS 81.
HAVE SMALL. REVENUE

GENEVA; March 14.-The monks of
the famous hospics OF the st. Bernard
Pass have fallen on evil days, their
revenues having steadily declined since
the beginning of the eighteenth CEN
fury. Notwithstanding :aeir Empower
1ehed state. however, the good monks
still extend their hospitality to trav-
elers.
The number Of tourists and others
who yearly accept the monks hospi-
tality is something like $4,000, and only
about per cent. Of the number pay
anything for the entertainment. It has
been calculated that 1915 represents
the average yearly income OF the
monks from guests, while the expenses
of the hospice amount TO from $500
to $4,000 annually.
At tho hospice tourists get for moth
ing what they would be charged at
least six or seven dollars for at a hotel
in the same situation elsewhere in the
Alps, and the hospice will probably be
replaced by modern and expensive
hotel unless those who are entertained
by the monks realize their obligations
Meanwhile the monks have slackened
not a whit In their humane work of
assisting travellers across the snow
bound pass. They have erected refuge
huts In the dangerous places, and even
Installed telephone Connections with the
hcspice in order that help may be ex-
ped.ted. The st. Bernard dogs have
been taught to run to any particular
but when its number is repeated to
them.

GIRL WINS BACK A
POSITION BY PRAYER

P1TTSBURG, March 1.-THE power
OF fearful. fervent prayer to bring the
desired results Is firmly established in
the minds of Miss Elizabeth Spear of
Williamsburg and her widowed mother.
Miss Spear has been reinstated in her
position in the office Of County Re-
corder John A. Fairman. from which
she was dismissed by mistake. Miss
Spear was one OF the first removals
from the recorders office, although
she Is the daughter of an old soldier
and is the sole support Of her wild
owed mother. In going over the lists
she was selected for removal owing
to Recorder Fairman's ignorance OF
her identity.
Almost brokec-heerted, the girl
went home and gave the sad news to
her aged mother. The situation was
desperate one for them and many
tears were shed over the calamity.
Recorder Fairnan discovered his
mistake and sent for Miss Spear, tell
ing her to report for duty as usual in
the morning.
Mother and I spent many hours in
prayer after I went home" she told
the recorder, and our prayers have
been answered. Mother and I are the
happiest women in the world, and
when We got your letter this morn
ing we both prayed for YOU"

IS NOT INSANE, BUT p @ n
JUST TALKS FRENCH

SAN FRANCISCO. March 14.-Marie
MARITIME, the French girl who was
thought to have ended her life by
jumping into San Pablo Bay from the
ferry steamship Solano, has arrived
safely in this city in custody Of
Southern Pacific conductor. She was
turned over to the police and Is now
being cared for at the city prison. The
French consul has been advised OF the
girls plight and he will see that she Is
properly cared for.
1t would seem that the misfortunes
that beset the journey of Miss MARITIME
from Reno to this city were due to the
fact that she could neither speak nor
said through an Interpreter that 1t was
her intention to go to Oakland in
search Of employment.
Her friends bought her railroad tick ct
and placed her on the westbound train,
and then her troubles began.
At every stopping place Miss Mar
tine was seized with the idea that she
had reached her destination, and that
she should leave the train. Her re-
peated efforts to this end caused the
train officials and the other passengers
to think that Miss MARITIME was of un-
sound mind, and they kept a close
watch over her. When the train reach
ed Benicia, where it is ferried across
San Pablo Bay to Port Costa on the
solano, Miss MARITIME finally determine ed
that her journey was at an end, and
she left the train. She had been told
that ferry boat would mark the end
of her Journey
After Miss MARITIME had remained all
night at Ben1cia the Southern Pacific
officials found her and brought her to
greatly bewildered. She did not know
what city she was in until Informed by
the interpreter. Her trying experience
among people of strange tongue has
so wrought on her nerves that she Is
now almost in a historical state.

QUIT GOLD CHASE

BELLOWS FALLS. VT. March IA

close to the interests of Mrs. Hetty
Green that the richest woman in
America has at last decided to cease
her pursuit for the almighty dollar in
the financial centers, retire to this city,
again opening the Westminster street
home OF her youth.
Whenever mention is made of the old
home of AMERICAS female plutocrat a
fervent wish goes up that she may at
last repair the premises and prevent
what has been for years a dishgure-
ment
At the top of the rise Of Westminster
street as one comes from the depot,
and commanding one of the most beau
tiful views from the city, is the yellow
painted brick house in which Hetty
Green spent her earliest married days
and in which her son and daughter
were born.
Mrs. Green and her daughter Sylvia
have been at the old home each sum-
mer every year since for periods vary
ing from four to eight weeks, but
never has the brush of painter or the
hammer of a carpenter touched the
blackened and dilapidated structure
In the memory of the Oldest, lnhabiA
tant of Bellows Falls there never was
anyone employed In the house.

STREETS BLOCKED BY
APPLICANTS FOR SHARES

CANTON, March 1.-THE rush of
applicants for shares of tho Canton
Hankow railway issued today was 80
great that the streets were blocked
with Chinese and soldiers were called
out to maintain order. The conces-
sion Of the Canton-Hankow railway
was originally American. Eventually
the Chinese government cancelled the
rights and concessions of the corpora
ton, paying to the owners as an in
demnity the sum Of $6,750.000.
The road was to be about 1900 miles
long, with an extension to Pekin of
about 1,400 miles, making a total of
1900 miles, The acquisition Of the
concession by China came about
through the opposition Of the Chinese
to the enterprise being in foreign
hands. The hostile feeling was not
confined to the ignorant classes but
was shared by Chinese capitalists
who were interested in the earnings
OF Chinese railways.

I felt that everyone was disappointed
In me and I sat down with relief that
