1.-The Most Wonderful Woman
in America" Is a Mil Boss
Mrs. Clark Fishers Achieve
ments as Factory Proprietor
Lauded by Magazine Writer.

"The most wonderful woman in
America" WI Ting Fang called her.
Why? Possibly because, though a
woman, she operates a famous anvil
factory. Mrs. Clark Fisher, of Trenton,
N. j., came into active manage
ment of the Fisher and Norris Anvil
Works two years prior to her husbands
death. He, having become incapacitated
by illness, invested his wife with the
power of attorney, thus enabling her TO
transact the entire business. After Mr..
Fishers death, seven years ago, she as
sumed the full responsibilities, and has
made a success.
WI Ting Fang and Mrs. Fisher met a
year ago at the dinner of the National
Association of Manufacturers in New
York, Mrs. Fisher, by the way, being
the only representative. The
Chinese Minister learned of Mrs. Fish
er's business sagacity and of her brill
liant achievements in the manufacture
ing world, and when he returned to
Washington after the banquet made
further inquiry concerning her. Later,
in writing to a friend, he praised her
as the most wonderful woman in the
world"
The Mrs. Fisher of luncheons and
drawing-rooms and the Mrs. Fisher OF
the foundry are two utterly different
persons, says a writer in Hampton's
Magazine for March. Her men swear
by their "boss.' Her troubles are
theirs, and vice versa. When the man
agement of the business first fell upon
her shoulders Mrs. Fisher went into
the factory and learned every detail>of
the work. In the beginning the men
did not take her seriously, and
whispered it about that she would
not asst long, but as she went on,
making changes here and improve
ments there, they began to see that
she knew her own business best. Their
respect grew, and the better acquainted

confidence of prominent men all over
the State, and vas popular with them.
He received his military rank as assist
ant inspector-general of rifle practise,
a position in which he took great de-
light. and which he filled with distin-
guished ability. In the summer he
spent much time on the Sea Girt rifle
ranges, where he did good service in
developing Workmanship among the
members Of the guard. Major Horace
B. Reading. of the Second Regiment, is
his brother.
Colonel Reading was born in Raven
Rock, Hunterdon county, on June %,
1S43. He learned the blacksmith trade;
worked on the railroad at the age of 3
years as a water carrier, and learned
telegraphy later.

Paris, July 28.-At a dinner given
here in honor of DR.. Alexis Carrel,
of the Rockefeller Institute, the
guest was asked his opinion of the
Gala law permitting the condemned
criminal to choose between execution
and three experiments with a view to

Endorsed the law and said he would

enactment of law permitting. surgi-
cal experiments on condemned Grim

lean States would grant the request,
as it was most important to science
that surgeons have the opportunity to
study the method of conservation of
the tissues and organs, and also the
secret of reviving them.
DR.. CSrrel, when asked if the or
gans when transplanted from one
animal to another would perform their
funtions normally, replied:
This is the most delicate and OBJ
scure of all the experiments | have

be possible that, by an unknown at

trated than by certain facts that have
just come to my knowledge. A com
mittee has been formed recently in
the Russian capital under the presi-
dency of the Grand Duchess Olga
AleXandroVna, with the object of
keeping the soldiers graves in the
Far East in proper repair.
Monuments have already been
erected on certain battlefelds, the
Japanese having taken the laudable
initiative at Port Arthur and on the
Island of Oki in Tsu Shima Straits.
But lately there has sprung up in
Japan a great demand for carbonized
bone, which it is understood serves
as a basis for newly invented eX-
plosive of tremendous power.
Japanese agents are swarming all
over Manchuria and congregate on
the spots where battles have ragged
most fiercely to procure the raw ma
terial. The Chinese of course dare
not touch Japanese graves and care
fully avoid them, but at Benishu sta
ton on the Murkden-Shaho line i'm

rible thought, the correspondent OBJ
serves, that the bones of the conquer

of destroying their brothers and
sons! A reader of the paper says this
is not the first instance of soldiers
remains being thus desecrated. He
recalls that within four years of the
battle of Plevna, which was fought
in 1877 between the Russians and
the Turks, 5000 hundred-Weight O
soldiers bones were dug up on the
battlefield and shipped to serve as
artificial fertilizer.
