she FOOLED ALL.
A Girl Dressed as a Man for Five
Years
In New York and Earned Living
as a Clerk Without Being Found

"1t's as easy as rolling off log
for a girl to disguise herself as a boy
and to keep her identity unknown in
New York, said Mrs, Natalie Clark.
who says her real name is Mrs. c. S.
Pool. "Ihave done it five years right
under the eyes Of the Pinkertons and
the police.
Not only that. but have earned
my living as a clerk in a jewelry store
---iu one place for three years and N
q Maiden Lane shop for three
months. There never was a moment
when | felt fear Of detection.
The young woman told Wednesday
of the adventures that had happened
to her during the five years in which
she dressed and appeared as q drap-
per young man.
In spite Of her arrest for masQuer-
aiding as a man, Mrs. Pool is so en-
tranced by the freedom Of the Life,
and also by the comfort Of masculine
attire that she declared Wednesday
that as soon as she could disguise to
outwit the police again she was go
ind back to mems clothes.
"While believe it is for healthier
for a woman to wear mems attire,
discard corsets, and lead an outdoor
life, can tell you from autual know
ledge that it is far more expensive to
dress as a man than as a girl.
t'I found that just by wearing
mems clothes | lost a lot Of the pret-
ty traits inherent in my sex, and /
learned to look at things from a far
broader point Of view. I have been
married twice, but I will never mar
ryagain, for intend to lead the life
in which ! have had my greatest hap
piness-as a man--if can do so with
out being detected. y
Mrs. Pool gives as her reason for
assuming male attire that she want
ed to find her husband, who had de-
serted her, and who frequented the
cafes and pool rooms Of the Tender
loin
''I knew I could not go to those
places as a woman, so one day made
up nv mind to see how | made up as
q boy. l have always lived il the
West, and as am strong and robust,
found the clothes looked very well
indeed on me---so well that | scarce
ly recognized myself -
Mrs. Pool says she was married to
C. S. Pool, q salesman, in the Little
Church Around the Corner in March,
1896, and that afterward her hus.
band fell into an Inheritance and de-
serted her.
'tI have often seen him in cafes
and restaurants with other women
but he never recognized me in my

this way to learn his address, but

Mrs. Pool says she is the daughter

Mr.. Henry Watterson, to whose 81

MIR. sTEAD's SUGGESTIONS.

Mr.. William Stead has recently adj
dressed circular to the press OF the
world on the subject of universal peace.
He has also edeavored to enlist the
sympathy Of the Head OF the Roman
church on that topic. Mr.. Stead has
some definite ideas and suggestions. He
believes the governments ought to
appropriate money for the purpose of
advertising among the nations of the
earth what the blessings Of peace and
arbitration are, thereby creating pop
ular sentiment in favor OF that cause
He also suggests that one OF the sec
tons of The Hague convention be- made
compulsory. He says:
1.-THE conference should make oblig-
atory article VIII of the Hague con-
vention. This article advises that be-
fore drawing their swords disputants
should place their case in the hands OF
neutral friends who shall act as Sec
onds or peacemakers who. for n period
not exceeding thirty days. shall confer
together with the object OF averting
war. IL this were made obligatory any
power which appealed TO arms before
invoking the Intervention OF such
peacemakers. or consenting to refer
the dispute to II commission d'enquet.
ought to be declared an enemy of the
human race and subjected 10 a finan-
cial and commercial boycott by all the
other powers. II this principle had
been accepted In 1899. the world might
have been spared the war In South
Africa and the war between Russia
| and Japan"
There Is at present no way Of maxi
Ing arbitration among nations obliga-
tory except by appointing two or more
powers the administrators of national
| justice. but we fancy this idea does not
recommend Itself to any but the ma
tlons that might have aspirations to
become members OF such national po-
| lice force. Tho other would not willing
| ~ submit to an arrangement that would
almost certainly become a menace 10
| their independence, There would
have been no Hague convention. had
the delegates interested In It's success,
Insisted upon compulsory arbitration,
and there has been no radical change
IN the sentiment AS to that.
We believe the next few years Will
witness n great movement In favor %
compulsory arbitration. but It win come
about rather through an agitation
among the people, than by government
acts

We understand the article In the

strued as indicating antsgonism on the

We deny that imputation. The

committing itself to either side. We

some Of the grave objections to the APP

In a spirit of friendllness to the rail-

to take time for the consideration OF

A SOCIALIST LONDON.

first a shiver and then THRU week
ago over county council suggestion
of a $i7 100000 plan for municlpal
trading in electric light and power.
MIR. James Kerr Hardie, NJ. p, was not
in the ranks of the dismayed. He has,
in fact, a little idea of his own when
makes the electricity scheme appear
as trifie hardly worth discussing. M;
Hardie proposes that the council shall
control the supply of milk, electricity
and coal. also the hospitals. markets
slaughterhouses metropolitan rail-
ways. whether surface or Underground
tramways and omnibuses. He would
give the council power to buy coal
mines, to lay out gardens In the sub
urbs around London and to carry out
itself all work now done by contrac-
tors. Incidentally. he would provide
for the institution of forty-eight hours
labor weekly, all workmen to receive
a minimum wage of 80 shillings.
