FAMOUS METHODIST WOMEN

The approaching Methodist General Conference at Minneapolis will have
 two delegates, possibly more, of very unusual personal interest One of them is Miss Italia Garbaldi. d granddaughter of the Italian libera- tor and the other Dr. Li Bi Gu, one of the most famous physicians if the Fukien province of China; d Wo- man who is known to.~some extent for her surgical work throughout all China. Methodist conferences in It. ally and in Foochow have grown to such proportions as to send these delegates. and others With pr Lii comes her father the Rev. Li, who comes also as a delegate.
 Miss Garibaldi is the head of an industrial school for girls in Rome, teaching especany girls from the poorer classes. It is under Methodist auspices. and is part of their edu cational work which has spread 10 Genoa recently in a Christopher CO lumbus institute, and long ago had it's colleges in Rome for boys and girls of the better classes Miss Gar ibaldfs father is a general in the Italian service. but has also seen ser vice in Greece and France. Her brother fought in the Boer war for the English and is now fighting in Mexico fo~ President Madero. An other brother is in Tripoli, a sister is a Red Cross nurse in the same Ital ian campaign. and her mother con- ducts a hospital and dispensary ill the principal town of the island of Sardinia. where General Garibaldi, the liberator. lies buried.
 Miss Garibaldi speaks English with some difficulty. but says she intends to address the Minneapolis confer ence. provided she is recognized by the bishop presiding. She explains that Methodist schools flourish in It. ally because they do not teach re- ligion. thereby complying with the Italian law, and do grant govern ment certificates on the same basis as regular government schools The schools taught by nuns teach religion. to which many Italian parents Ob- ject, and therefore the government refuses to allow them to award its certificates. She says Italians do not talk religion. do not think about it, do not allow it to enter into their lives and for it do not carry on cam paigns like the Men and Religion, as do the Americans. Already in Amer ica, she is surprised at the attention religion receives here. It is not so in Italy. she says.
 Dr. Ii, the other woman delegate at Minneapolis whose place in her own country is unique, comes from family distinguished in the F'ukien province. She was graduated from the Womans Medical college at Phil adelphia in 1905, and within seven years, in her own country, has ac- Complished so much that her name is known far and wide She has erected a hospital the Methodists of America assisting her, has been in the thick of the anti opium crusade and has been prominent in the anti feet binding movement. In years she will be among the youngest of the delegates at Minneapolis, and in her own country among the most famous

At the Academy.

"Madame X" Alexandra Bisson's
drama portraying mother love in its
strongest phases, was we'll received at
the Academy in Washington last night
being presented by well-balanced
company, headed by Miss Eugene
Blair, in the title role.
The plot, familiar to play followers,
deals with the life and motherly love
of Jacqueline, wife of Louis Florlot,
jurist of Paris, who defends her son
from blackmail after the unfaithful-
ness to her hlsband. repentant OF
her wrong she returns to her husband
seeking his forgiveness, but is pltlless-
lv banished from his home. HIS lie
subsequent to this is one OF degre-
dation abroad for twenty years. AT
last she returns to France accom-
panied by Laroque, an adventurer. In
order to prevent Laroque from reveal
inc to her son her past, she kills hln'
Her son is selected to defend the
mysterious murderess, who, on ac-
count of her silence, is designated Ma
dame X. At the trial she discover
her sons identity. Revelations ana
disclosures follow, but the mother'
unyialding, does not tell her son VINE
she is until he has been informed by
his father Madame X dies IN the
arms of her son.
Miss Blair, as Madame X, inter-
prets the role with great dramatic ell
feet. 1t is a highly emotional part,
and she is mistress of all technical
nice:ies. The other characters were
acceptably taken.

Mrs. Sage has aged very much since
her husbands death. She has grown
thin, pale, bent and wrinklcd. Aside
from the natural grief over Mr.. Sage's
death, Mrs. Sage was plunged almost
instantly into storm of appeals which
amounted to a persecution. Her mail

MORE AID FOR WILSON.

A nationwide movement, the first
of its kind in history, to enlist the aid
of school teachers of the country to
elect Governor Woodrow Wilson to the
Presidency was recently launched in
Washington by the Wilson-Marshall
Democratic Association. Woodrow
Wilson, himself an educator, if elect
ed, will practically step from the adj
miristration of one of the great uni
versities, Princeton, into the White
House.
The plan has the official sanction
of the Democratic National Commit
tee, and has been approved by Chair
man McCombs, Treasurer Rolia
Wells, and Chairman Mooganthau of
the National Finance Committee.
Vice-presidents of the Association
have been appointed in each of the AZ
States, who will organize the teach
ers of their respective States. The
committe has designated Prof. Chas.
G. Maphis, of the University of Vlr-
civic as Yice-President for Virginia.

CRABS ARE THREATENED.

ttleAdiluIli, HllelS Vic uSilSiouo NieND
is one of the favorite foods of the
spring and summer will learn with
melancholy that the humble crusta-
cean is threatend with extinction.
According to the Virginian-Pilot,
Swcoson Earle, of the Maryland Shell
Fish Company, an authority on oys-
ters and crabs, announces that I'M
less protective measures are adopt
ed and enforced, the hard and soft
shell crabs which have been so album
dant in the Chesapeake Bay and It's
tributaries, will meet the fate of the
terrapin, if not the dodo OF masto-
don.
NJ Earle states that Crisfeld, Nd,
is the largest shipping point in the
world for crabs. In 1910, it is said,
120.OGO,OOO soft crabs were shipped
from this point. Therefore the best
evidence of the scarcity of crabs at
the present time is afforded by prices
at Crisfeld. Prices for soft she'll
crabs have been as high as $l.25 a
dozen during the season. A few years
ago soft shell-crabs sold at Girls
field as low as 25 cents dozen, and,
as for hard crabs, in the waters OF
Anne Arundel county, man could
easily catch four barrels day. Dur
ing the last decade IL has not been
uncommon to see ten car loads OF
crabs shipped from Crisfeld in sin
gle day. Apparently no such sup
ply is now available or possible.
That the crab industry is in real
danger of being destroyed is indl-
Gated by the fact that the demand now
equals the supply, and use Of improv-
ed methods of catching and the de-
struction of the female crabB--ln
Maryiand-the combination of circum-
stances certainly point toward eXter-
minstion. 1t is true that the General
Assembly of Virginia passed law
with a view to protecting crabs and
preventing their extinction. But II
will be necessary for Maryland and
other states to cooperate with Vlr-
cinia in order to make such protectlon
! of adequate value.
The blue crab is not an ocean crao'
and is, therefore at the mercy OF the
rapacious man. He inhabits such wa
tiers as the Chesapeake Bay, its trl-
buta,ies and sounds. We are inform
ed that the finale crab spawns but
once in the course Of her life. She
is capable of producing 5,O00,OOo
Young and the tiny young ones cling
to their mother until they are cap
able of beginning life on their own
account, when she rubs them off in
the sand, whence they scatter far
and wide. The mother crab at this
stage is known as the sponge bear
er, and it was to protect ner at this
stage that the Virginia law was pass
ed. But birds and fishes do not OBJ
serve State lines, and a sponge bear
er, safe in Virginia, is prey in Mary
land and elsewhere.
Nature has arranged that all AMI
mails widely preyed upon are widely
prolific. But the ingenuity OF man Is
CAPABLE of DISCRIMINATING creatures
that are as abundant as the sands OF
the sea. He can, however, refrain
from discriminating the blue crab, II
he will, by giving it chance to re-
cover from its depredations.

MAKE PURCHASE
 OF A RICH LEAD

T. w. Hawkins and Frank P. Skeen have purchased, for a sub stantial cash consideration, gold quartz vein recently found on Falls creek by Harry Johnson and John Ledin. The vein is about a half mile down the creek from the original discovery made by Skecn and Lechner in the year 1905. The vein was found and located on July 3ist last, and soon after MT. Skecn, on inc invitation of the locators, took a look at it. It is a fine surface prospect and a deal was quickly closed. The outcrop shows width of three feet and the quartz pans good val ues. The vein is contact, ly- ing between dioritc and slate. It. Is the plan of Mcssrs. Hawkins and Skecn io immediately start development.
