STARVING GENTLEwoMEN.
Daughter of Baronet Who Sold Shoe
strings on London Streets.

Extraordinary cases of starving gentle
women have come to light, such as
superannuated governesses, widows of
improvident husbands aud those who in
the days of their youth were able to
make quite n comfortable income as
clerks or otherwise.
BY gradual stages representatives of
all these types have sunk lower and
lower, and sometimes, having sought for
getfulness in drink, have come to the
lowest grade before drifting into the
shelter of the institute.
Here was for instance wretched look
ing creature, but with unmistakable
signs of having once been "a lady"
whose only source of income lay in her
handful of boot laces which she sold to
mechanics in their midday rest. She
proved to be the daughter of baroner,
whose marriage had displeased her FAM
lily.
Estranged from her relatives by the
quarrel of early life, she had too much
pride to reveal to them the poverty
by which she had of late been overtaken:
but, absolutely miserable, she crept about
the mean streets of our vast city as
successfully hidden as if living in am
other hemisphere, far from the gorgeous
mansion, the carriages and the servants
which once We're hers by right of birth.

Postal Railway in Berlin.

A dispatch from Berlin to the London
Times states that the German postofiice
department has put forward a scheme to
connect the general postoffice in that
city with the various branch offices by
the construction Of an underground rail
way, by means of which the more rapid
distribution of the mail bags to and
from the mail trains viii be effected at
speed Of about twenty-five miles an
hour. The railway will be worked with
out guard or driver, and the tunnel
which will be placed close beneath the
road surface is to be only 20 inches in
height by Il inches in width. Each truck
or car is intended for the conveyance Of
large sized mail bag. The complete
train will be composed of a dwarf cleo
trio locomotive and not more than four
trucks. The locomotive will have Il
pair OF axles, each furnished with a mo-
tor. The line will be double track
throughout, constructed on a 16.13-inch
gauge. Over each track viii be CON
ductor rails. A trench will be provided
between the two lines OF rails, so that a
man viii be able to pass through the
tunnel. The railway is to be operated h.
electricity. The construction of these
tunnels for distribution of mails. the Dis
patch says, is regarded as a matter rf
certainty, as the negotiations between
the postal authorities and city of Ber
have already been concluded Daily

WEIGHTIEST NOMINEES
TAFT AND SHERMAN TIP THE
BEAM AT 500 POUNDS.
Previous Record for Heavy Candidates
Held by Cleveland and Steven
son in 1899.

The Chicago ticket is the weightiest
ever put out by a national convention in
the history of the country, says the
Washington Star. Secretary Taft and
Representative Sherman would make the
scales register close TO 500 pounds, ex-
ceeding by nearly 100 pounds the com
bined weight of any ticket ever before
put out, Up to this time the record
was held by the Democrats, when they
nominated Grover Cleveland, in 1897
AT that time Mr.. Cleveland weighed
about 2I5 pounds. His running mate,
Adlal Stevenson, was the direct opposite,
weighing not over 100 pounds, making
the total physical abilities of the team
about 40 pounds. Mckinley and Ho-
bart, nominated by the Republicans in
1896, made up a pretty heavy team, but
not up TO the Democratic record. Presi-
dent Mckinley weighed about $50
pounds when nominated, although he
had been hearier than that when i'll
Congress, reaching close to 100 pounds.
wee President Hobart weighed about
100 pounds, giving an aggregate weight
OF $50 pounds to the ticket. The Me-
kinley- Roosevelt ticket weighed some
what less than that, President Roose-
welt not being as heavy then as now.
He weighed at the time of his nonlina-
ton about lS5 pounds. The Presidents
present weight is a little over 200 pounds
and he has been gaining flesh right
along, despite his efforts TO keep down.
When he plays tennis, as he has been
doing, in the tennis court in the rear of
his offices, his wind fails under so much
activity with the racquet and balls. He
reluctantly admits that his wind has
been getting short as his flesh has in
creased.
Secretary Taft has laughingly De-
clared that mo real gentleman weighs
over 800 pounds" but he is willing to
admit that he barely comes within the
Inhibition, keeping close around fle 300
pound mark at all times Walking and
horseback riding have little effect in re-
dactlon, producing fine appetite, result
ing in more flesh. The secretary is a
good walker, his pace being rapid, He
is not particularly sensitive about his
weight, although he would like to re-
duce it Tor the comfort he would derive
from carrying less avoirdupois. 1t is
expected that he viii have many sug-
gestions from fiesh-reducing experts, but
he will be too busy 20 bother with any
of these. Like most fat men he has
learned, he admits, that starvation is
about the only remedy for too much
meat, and that medicines accomplish
nothing.
Representative Sherman is a 200
FOUNDER. He is portly and has a florid
face, showing an abundance of blood.
Grover Cleveland would never tell how
much lie weighed, but men who knew
both Cleveland and Taft assert that
President Cleveland was just as heavy
as the Ohio man. Others are sure that
he was not so heavy and among these
are men intimately acquainted with
both. Mr.. Cleveland is NOT as tall as
Secretary Taft nor as broad looking
He has much larger neck and is portly.
but the Ohio man has a great, broad
chest and back. and stout legs that carry
his weight with grace and ease

DEADLY WATER OF THE DESERT
Mistake Made by Travellers in the Arid
Wastes of the Southwest.

Zone of the chief dangers to travellers
in crossing such dreary and arid wastes
as the far famed Death valley in Ne
vada arises from ignorance as to the
character of the infrequent pools of
water along the route" said T. e. Small
ley, mining engineer of Denver.
The tenderfoot, growing faint under
a blazing sun, will want to quench his
intolerable thirst when he comes to a
shallow hole. whose water, clear as
crystal, seems absolutely pure. He can
with difficulty be restrained from drink
ing it by some experienced companion,
who knows that one draught will prob
ably cause serious if not fatal illness.
This water, for all its seeming parity
and clearness. is loaded with arsenic.
and many a man has lost his life by its
use.
"Curiously enough, the only water in
the desert that is safe to drink is foul
looking and inhabited by bugs and
snakes. When you come to a muddy
pool on the surface of which insects are
disporting themselves, however. repul-
slye it may be both to the eye and pal
ate, you may drink it with impunity, de-
spite its looks, as man will who is
crazy with thirst produced by the burn
ing sands and merciless sun. Baltimore

The Ailsa Craig, the motor boat which
won the recent race from New York to
the Bermudas, has returned to her home
port flying the flag of yicte4y. But those
who made the journey in the little craft
agree with the occupants of the defeated
mot2r boat that small boats can run to
Bermuda and back again but the voyage
imposes great strain upon the navi-
gators. 1t is therefore likely that the
regulations Tor future races over this
course win permit the entry of larger
craft in which more comfort can be en-
joyed by the amateur navigators.
