WOMAN IN DISTRESS.
Mrs. Thomas, Victi moi San Fran
cisco Earthquake, Arrives Here.

Mrs. Mary Thomas, a former resident of
Georgetown, one of the many who lost
property because of the San Francisco
earthquake, arrived here yesterday after
noon and appealed to the police for assist
ance. She was given temporary accommo-
dations at the house of Detection, and this
morning the board of charities took up
her case Many residents Of Georgetown
remember when Mrs. .-'homas lived there
during her younger days. Her maiden
name was Hazelwood. and she is a native
Of Virginia, having been born in Chester
field county In 1851 When she was young
girl her father brought her here and had
her educated at the Georgetown Convent.
Later she was taken abroad by her fatner,
who was an engineer or steamfitter
aboard one of the ocean steamers. She
made several trif. across the ocean and
afterward lived in Providence, r. l.,
where she married man named Ander-
son. He died in 1887. and the'young widow
went west.
She lived in Denver, Col, where she
married man named Thomas, and fol-
lowing his death she went to San Fran
cisco to live, where she opened a small
Mrs. Whitaker. Mrs. Thomas had accu-
mulated several thousand dollars prior to
the earthquake, she says. but lost con-
siderable of both money and property, The
morning OF the earthquake pieces Of
broken timber fell upon her as she lay in
her bed at home and seriously injured her.
The injuries we're of SO serious charac-
ter, she states, that she became uncon-
scious and did not recover until the fol-
lowing day. She was then being cared
for in one of the camps. Her injuries
caused partial paralysis below her neck
and her condition was regarded as very
serious.
When Mrs Thomas had recovered sufi-
GENTLY to enable her to leave the ruined
city she. had, $1,000 in cash and 500 in
surance money. From San Francisco Mrs.
Thomas went to Leon, Nc, where she
remained several months, in the belief
that the climate would benefit her. Leav-
Ing Leon, Mrs. Thomas went to FL Paso.
Tex, remaining there several weeks She
went from place to place in Texas look
ing for friends of her younger days, but
failed to find any of them. She finally con-
cluded she would come to Washington and
seek home in some institution, believing
she would have money enough left when
she reached here to pay for life men,
bership In such a home, but while at
Bloomington. Ala, she says. she was
robbed Of more than $780, The robbery
was reported to the police, but none of the
money was recovered.
Mrs. Thomas had about $50 left after
she was robbed, and she went to Atlanta,
remaining there only a short time. She
arrived here sterday, but her funds
were gone and 1t was necessary for her
to appeal to the police for aid She said
when she lived here many years ago she
was acquainted with many residents of
Georgetown and many in other parts Of

ESTATE OF. D1sso1uTE PRINCE.
Posterity of Countess Civry Fight
ing for Fortune.


Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN. November AT Brunswick
this week the process of the posterity Of
Countess Civry, formerly Lady Colville
against the present holders of the estate
of Karl II. Duke of Brunswick. in which
a sum of 81, OO0, 600 Is said to be at stake,
came once more before the courts. Karl
II was a son of the duke who, at Water
loo, rushed into the field and foremost
fighting FELL" and was left with his
brother to the guardianship of King
George w of England. Whether or not
as the result of the neglect of this tightly
British sovereign. he developed into nope,
lessly dissolute prince, and MADE odo
mess of the business OF governing across t..e
Wilhelm, on whose death the present
Duke of Cumberland would have ascenoed
the throne but for his refusal TO renounCe
his claim to Hanover. Kari lived III
1873, employing his time chiefly In de-
bauchery and the accumula ton of precious
stones. of which he left unique collec-
ton. He ended his days at Geneva, TO
which town he left a considerable portion
of his immense fortune on conoltion ina.
it should decorate itself with statue Of
it's benefactor, which it duly proceeded
The Civry process Is based on the con-
tention that the then Lady Colville was
formally recognized by the duke as his
legitimate daughter, but In 1894 it was on
appeal. definitely decided against the
plaintiffs. In the following year it was.
however. again taken up on the ground
of a new fact This was the discovery
in the British Museum of a certified copy
of the document in which 1t was alleged
Lady Colville had been legttimized. and
which it was further stated had been de-
stroyed when the ducal Schloss was
burned down by the insurrecttonary
Brunswickers.
At the hearing just held plaintiff coun-
sci commended that the paper found in the
British Museum had as high legal stand
ing as the original. and that its va..uity
had been recognized by the English courts.
On the other hand, the defense sought to
prove from a French brochure Of the
year 1865. which dealt with the bulky SUBJ
ject of the dukes love affairs, that at the
time in question he did not regard Lady
Colville as his legitimate daughter II
was also pointed out that the British
Museum document was rendered illegible
and incoherent by holes and blotches pre-
cisely as those passages which bore on
the question Of the inheritance. Judgment
was reserved until November %.

hat the poor are more open than the rich

that the poor are more open than the r1ch
to religious influences?
Wealth also substitutes false for
true sense of duty. 1t seems that money
is the power to which we are exclusively
looking for security. 1t is right in the
sight of God as of man I'D to certain
point to realize the value of wealth
Christ taught us that there should be
money as power which may be changed
into almost all other kinds of power
should be carefully and prudently used
Thus the feeling is engepdered that
ones highest duty after all is to pro-
tect the power which is of so much
place Of, ones duty to God and to his
neighbor, a paramount duty Is substi-
tuted:; even the duty that one owes to
money itself. until at, last he actually
comes to regard It as waste OF time to
enter into any spiritual. exercise or phil
anthropic work. to listen to any call OF
God or man which may interfere with his
pecuniary duties. -- -. -
Wealth substitutes also a false for a
true love. You think as you start out
moderate fortune you will spend the rest
of your days in dong good and blessing
your fellow-men. So you would. II you
continued to be in those coming days
what you are now. but you leave one
thing out Of your calculation, and that
is the growing love Of money.
There are, indesd. instances of men
who have kept on giving out as they laid
up, and who have thus preserved the
highest, most generous instincts of their
nature fresh and warm, but where. in
the whole course of your experience. do
you find one who. after having devoted
his life exclusively to the accumulation
of a fortune. becomes all at once gen.
erous giNer2
1T Is high time to wake out of sleep,
for this is an age blended by the spirit
Of covetousness. The power in which you
trust cannot purchase for you one spir-
itual blessing; 1t cannot secure for YOU
immunity from any of the greater trials
of life; 1t cannot buy the Christians faith
peace. that passeth understanding: 1t cam
not buy nobility of life,- or Christ or the
kingdom: Of Heaven.

The electrical equipment dwarfs any,

in this ddirection on ocean liners. The
generating plant has total capacity of
1000 horsepower-consider more than
is required for a good-sized city-and
electricity has been utilized in every con-
ceivable way on the ships. 1t is applied
to the very domestic purposes of slicing
ham and cutting bread, and to the i'm
portant and heavy duty of producing a
forced draught in the boiler furnaces.
by which means alone can racing speed
be obtained. Needless to say, the light
ing Is very complete and brilliant. Some
5000 lamps are used in various parts of
the boat. There are four electric cranes
for loading baggage and mails. No less
than thirteen electric lifts and hoists are
used. These include two handsome pas
senger litts, which will not be found un-
necessary, In view of the fact that the
boatdeck is thirty-six feet above the main
deck-this being the travel Of the lifts
All the ventilation Is accomplished by
means of nlotor-driven fans, Of which

which send cool or hot air into the cabins

1t is not difficulties of construction
which will prevent an even greater ship
than the Mau-etania being built. but
rather the question of harbor accommo-
dalton. 1t is in this direction that atten-
ton must now be directed. The cost of
such work is very great. It Is, however,
certain to be good investment.
