Talented Writer Dead

The talented authoress, Miss Martha
Wolfenstein, daughter of Dr. S. Wolf
enstein, superintendent Of the Orphan
Asylum, Cleveland, Ohio, died last Sat
urday after lingering illness.
She was the authoress of ''Idyls of
the Gass," and 1.-The Renegade and
Other Tales
Martha Wolfenstein was born August
5, 1869, at Insterberg, Prussia. In her
infancy she came. to this country and
lived in st. Louis, wher her father, DR..
Samuel Wolfenstein, officiated as rabbi
until 1873 when the family removed to
Cleveland to make it's home at the Or
phan Asylum Of which DR.. Wolfen-
stein became superintendent. Obliged
to discontinue her schooling on the
death Of her mother, in her sixteenth
year, she assumed the duties Of head Of
her fathers household, her younger
brothers and sisters coming under her
motherly care and wholesome influence.
The burdens Of the large household rest
ing upon her youthful shoulders were
augmented by the illness Of her brothers.
These she attended and nursed; and in
the shock and grief occasioned by the
untimely death Of the eldest and young
est of these began her own protracted
illness. This period, throughout, was
characterized by patience, fortitude and
sweetness Of temper that stamp her life
one of those exquisite gems rarely ex-
emplifed.
Taken thus from her active household
occupation by her impaired physical
vigor, her active mind turned to the
composition of the beautiful stories

PLAGUE AMONG WILD DUCKS

From the FAR north comes bad news
for sportsmen, says a dispatch from
Sachina. Canada. There are indications
that great numbers Of wild ducks have
died of some epidemic disease
Last year seemed 10 be a record
year for wild ducks. Broods were
large and early, and when the au-
tumnal, flights began the birds were
strong and not easily killed. The spring
flights were notably larger than usual
as natural consequence, and sports
men expected a remarkable fail for
waterfowl.
The contrary has been the case.
Bags were miserably small. The au-
tumn fights have in many places not
been seen at all. There has been dis
pOintment all along the line Of lakes
in these latitudes where hunters are
accustomed to wait for the fail migra-
tion Of the ducks.
Two travellers have just come in
from an overland trip down from Hud-
son Bay, whose news suggests the
first reason for the scarcity of the
birds. They report that lakes to the
far north are in some instances fair
ly covered with bodies OF dead ducks

Ninety-eight Women Prisoners.

o. At the present time there are about
ninety-eight women in the workhouse,
of whom one-third are white. The
white women. curiOusly enough, repre-
sent all the strata of society. and few.
very few, have the faces of criminals
or appear hardened, while many bear
distinct traces of refinement. Old
women there are, as we'll as young,
and all are required TO work, for labor
is the saving grace there. The at
mOsphere of the workhouse is very
like that of an Industrial home, ex-
cept that the inmates are confined in
their cells most of the time. are not at
work. and are never allowed to go out.
They are happier at work. and many
plead TO be taken there, instead of TO
jail, where the enforced idleness is
the greatest punishment. The Iaun-
dry work is done entirely by the coll
ored women, for they are more expert
at this class of work than the white
women.
The white women do all of the sew
ing. making OF and mending the prison
clothes for both the men and women

their railroad fare home, where a new
start in life can be had.
The sCciety's saving work can best
be shown by statistics for the six
years and a half Of its existence. In
that time over 1900 persons have been
aided, at an average Of Al Is cents
each. The most hopeful figures are
those which tell that or the 81. 600 ap-
proNimately expended, nearly $1,000
has been returned by those aided. This
means that less than 10 per cent of
the funds is lost. Is not this a small
percentage for the citizens of Wash
ington to lose for helping TO redeem
1900 unfortunate men and women?

What happened to this woman of the

investigated somewhat similar cOndi-
tion. In that case the cause OF the
mortality among the ducks was dis
covered to be intestinal. a kind OF
typhoid perhaps, though in most In
