COUNTESS CARLISLE.
New World Head of the Women's
Temperance Union.

10 be known as Mrs. Rosalind Car
Isle, instead of My Lady," is the de-
sire of the democratic Countess OF
Carlisle, who has recently been elect
ed World w. G.. Il. U. President. Only
the united protests and appeals Of her
entire family and consideration for
their wishes have kept her from, long
ago, abrogating the titles which are
hers by both birth and marriage. The
Countess was Lady Rosalind Frances
Stanley, youngest daughter of Baron
Stanley, of Adderley, before her mar
riage to the Earl of Carlisle, forty
years ago. She has always been sim
pie and unaffected in manner and
style and the soul of kindness and
charity. She goes about among her
tenants much as the late Queen Vic
toria did when on her visits to her
favorite home, at Balmoral Castle,
Scotland. The people are all known
to her by name and all respect and
love her.
The cares of a large family and
households seems to have strength
ened and developed Lady Carlisle's
natural administrative genius. While
she is known in England as a woman
OF most pronouncedly radical views
on all subjects, she is respected as a
splendid type of English womanhood.
Her success in reclaiming several
thousand acres of barren lands on
the big family estate of Castle Har-
ward, at York, has attracted the at
tention of scientific agriculturists.

The City Court room looked like a baby show yesterday morning, Tn which there might be several mothers vieing with each other as regards the dressing of youngsters At any rate the four children for whom a writ Of habeas corpus is desired by Captain Odom of the Salvation Army were be- decked in everything that would pc popular in babies fashion plates.
 While this condition of affairs was received with due notice by everyone in the court room, the expected old not happen. After hearing all of the testimony, Judge Sayre took the cases under advisement until Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. All of the chill dren and witnesses will be back at that time.
 Only four of the children were in court Their mothers and Susan Phil lips. who goes by the name of Mama to the children, were all there and they put up a vigorous fight against anything that might aid in taking their children from them. On the stand Susan Phillips said that she was married and that she lived with her husband and that she kept the children for a fee of $5 per month. She said that they were being raised as any child should be and that they did not associate with negro children.
 Witnesses for the other side bore out practically what Captain Odom said in the application for writ of habeas corpus The testimony was somewhat lengthy and after hearing all the evi- dence Judge Sayre stated that he would | make a report and required that de- | fendants and witnesses be back there | Wednesday morning.
