CrimfnO1ogsst Took No Thought Of
Money--Amusing Adventures.
One side Of the late Prof. Lombro-
SOS character little known to outsiders
made him adored by his children, es-
Ipecially his two daughters, who looked
after him as though he were child.
His two greatest domestic character
istics were disregard Of appearances
and Observation-Disclosures, says London
letter to the New York Sun. When
he was invited out In the evening it
was the work of two or three days to
get him keyed UP to putting on his
dress clothes, and even then he was
capable of weakening at the last mo-
ment and going out just as he hap
pened to find himself.
Once when going to Rome he lost
his overcoat, but was not In the least
discouraged, as he entered the first
shop of ready-made clothing and
bought the top-most warm thing which
came to hand without even looking at
1t. 1t proved to be long, bright,
bottle-green cloak, which came down
to his heels and in which he looked,
with his broad-brimmed felt hat. like a
figure attired for the carnival.
His Observation-Disclosures was so great
that when under the care of the home
circle he never attempted to look after
the money and would even leave the
house to go shopping without ever
looking to see IL he had his purse with
him. Naturally when he travelled the
consequences for his pocket were dis
astrous. He invariably arrived home
without penny, no matter how much
he had taken with him, having either
lost 1t or had 1t stolen.
In Vienna once he lost his purse,
which frightened him SO that when he
recovered it he resorted to the expe-
dent Of dividing his funds into vari-
GUS small sums, which he concealed
about his persoE In all kinds Of un-
likely places, so that at least he would
not lose 1t all at one time. There was
a note In the lining of his hat, another
in his boot, several pinned to his shirt,
and SO on, but, notwithstanding this,
he arrived home in his usual penniless
condition.

1t is evident that Mrs. Humphrey
Ward does not see In woman suffrage
a solution Of the divorce problem,
which she has made the theme Of her
recent novel, Marriage a La Mode"
The eminent writer has just been elect

Association Opposed to Woman Suf-
frage in company with two other we'll
known English women. Mrs Ward has
long led the "antis" In England, while
her sister, Miss Arnold, is actively en-
gagged on the other side.
One of the many ways in which the
growth of the suffrage movement has
grown both in the United States and
In England Is demonstrated by the
increased demand for fiction on the
subject as we'll as for serious work.

novel published some two years ago,

Booker Washington says In the pre-
face of his new book, "The Story of
the Negro" that "In writing this vol

what the negro himself has accom-

many problems which have arisen
through the contact of the negro with
other races but to tell q simple,
straight story of what the negro HIM
self has accomplished in the way OF
attaining to higher civilization" In
writing Of the effect made upon him
self by the study of the origin and
development Of his people he says that
there grew up within me determin-
alton to spend my life in helping and
