QUEEN ELIZABETH OF ROUMANlA
POUNDS BLIND COLONY.
Carmen sylvia" Invites Samuel Bow.
man, the Blind Pianist of Edora,
la, to Institution Estab-
lshed in Roumania.

Edora Ia.-Queen Elizabeth, who
reigns over 100000 loyal subjects in
far away Roumania, and who does
much literary work under the nom de
plume of Carmen SYLVIA" has recent
ly established cosmopolitan blind
colony known as the City of Light in
Bucharest, Roumania. She has writ
ten to banker in Eldora about her
plans, and has invited Samuel Bow
man, blind pianist of Eldora, to come
to Bucharest and become a member
of her colony. She has taken a great
liking to Mr.. Bowman, and he is con-
sidering seriously the ACCESSIBILITY of
becoming one of the first American
wards at the City of Light.
Horace G. Knowles, the American
minister of Bucharest, the capital, has
taken a deep interest in the work of
her majesty, and writes to the Eldora
banker with the queens letter. He
says in part;
"The fundamental principle of her
majesty's noble work is to make the
blind feel that they are not merely
dependents and objects of charity
They are to have their own world,
where they will be not only happy, but
useful and self-sustaining. Already l
have seen enough to enable me to
testify that what seems to the unac-
luainted merely a dream, can, by pa
tience. generosity, intelligence and
Christian charity, be made a reality.
All of these qualities and more are
possessed by the good and gifted wo-
man who needs no crown to make her
a queen"
Queen Elizabeth in her own writing
says the City of Light is called Vatra
Luminosa, at Bucharest. Already there
are so members of the colony, with
ten languages, seven confessions of
faith and Is trades. She says that one
man, although blind, has invented a
new printing machine, and an English
woman, blind seven years, attends tC
the correspondence.
Queen Elizabeth in part says in hel
letter to her Eldora banker friend:
Il know your friend will be happy

Letter of Cotton Mather Ordering Kid

Hartford, Conn.-The controversy
over the question whether Cotton
Mather, of Boston, entered into a plot
to capture William Penn and the first
colony of Quakers and sell them as
slaves in the Barbados has been set
tied, it is said, by the finding of the
letter from Mather to John Higginson,

The document in the possession of

A MISSING STAMP

Leonard Bromfield was one OF
those children of fortune, who for the
greater part of the year had nothing
to do. Leonard was by no means a
lover of solitude, in general yet pos
sessing every access to the pleasures
Of society and companionship, he
was suddenly seized, one gay and
charming summer, with the desire for
solitary rambling apart from the noisy
world, so he babe farewell to the
haunts of city and fashion, and buried
himself in the peaceful shelter of a
rural hamlet.
1t was on a certain day when, hav-
ing sought refuge from an ardent
August sun, Leonard stood in the
Brushville store, idly awaiting the
that his eye was resting, and upon a
certain white envelope, which he was
morally sure had presented itself to
his vision innumerable times before;
yet for the first time it seemed actual
ly demanding his attention. A rather
soiled and crumpled missive, but in
scribed distinctly with the address:
Miss Dorothea Winthrop,
N-ville, Va.
Half unconsciously he had read
these same words repeatedly, but I'M
observed hitherto, a few less legible
pen-strokes on the corner of the en-
velope now attracted his glance. In

Oyster Famine a Base Rumor.

Washington.-There is no occasion
for those of the delicate palate to grow
apprehensive over reports now in cir
culation OF an oyster famine. At the
bureau of fisheries the officials do not
credit the rumors. While they have
at present no means to measure def
nitely the oyster crop that will be har-
vested during the next six months,
they do not look for famine or a
greater shortage than has marked re-
cent years. The commission is work,
ing hard to prevent the extinction of
the oyster.

the ordinary kind.

outrageous action but now the
