LADY COOK'S GOOD ACTS
Tennle C. Clafflln Now the Wife of a
Rich and Aged Engllahm.m, to
Spend Some Money for Her 8ex In
America A Remarkable Career.
Lady Cook, formerly Tennle C. C'lnf

$1,250,000. She has 12,000,000 to found a
similar instlutlon In New York. Her
husband Is extremely rich, and sl.e
spends a great deal of money In the
Interests of her sex. She supports sev

tate of Montserrat, In Portugal, the
wife of Sir Francis Cook, one of tho
richest of Englishmen and a Porlu
gucne viscount.
She will establish In New York a re
plica of her London Institution, the Al
exandra Home for young women ur
tlsts. It cost $1,250,000, and has ac
com modutions for 160 Inmates, eaeh f
whom Is furnished with a bedroom,
while every two share a purlor.
Sir Francis Cook is nearly ninety
years old.
He hus a standing offer of $5,009 to
whoever will trace to their source cer
tain scandalous stories about his wire
that have been circulated for thirty
years past.
Lady Cook and her sister, Vict n la
Woodhull Martin, once threatened to
sue" the Inspector of the New York
Police, because he had been quote 1 as
designating them "charming adventur
esses." That they were charming, no gallant
of the vanished generation would h .ve
disputed. Certainly not Jay G iu'd,
Jim Fiske and other olden king of
finance, who were credited with huvlne
enabled the "lady brokers," Woodhull
& Clallln, to clear large sums of money
In Wall street.
Certainly not Theodore Tllton, who
wrote Victoria Woodhull's biography
when she was nominated for the presi
dency, and whose name was frequently
coupled with hers In the course of the
famous Beecher-Tllton divorce scani'al.
Tennessee Clallln In after yours she
called herself "Tennle C." was the
youngest of the ten daughters of Huck
man Claflin, a Massachusetts lawyer.
It was In 1SG9 that she and her sister
Tennle formed the brokerage partner
ship that laid the foundation of all
their subsequent notoriety. Encourage!
and sustained by Vanderbllt, Gould
and the other great powers of "tho
Street," tho sisters Installed themrel ,-es
In an office in Broad street.
Never were brokers so besieged as
they. The newspapers Interviewed
them, the weeklies satirized them, the
comics caricatured them.
They started Woodhull and Claflin
Weekly, and Col. Blood became th-.! e.'.l
tor. Then trouble began. Thy were
driven out of Wall street. Men cried
"Blackmail!" Women passed by on the
other side of the way.
Then came the Beecher-Tllton affair.
Woodhull & Claflln's Weekly 'w'as the
first publication that dared to tell the
news of the great preacher's difficul
ties, and the edition went like wildfire.
From the outset the Weekly took the
side of Tllton, whom it exploited as u
bitterly wronged husband.
Enemies lurked at every turn. Libel
suits, sprung up in all directions. They
were arrested again and again, as fast
as they could procure ball bonds, lie
leased on ball, the sisters essayed to
restore their fortunes by a lecturing
luur. jnuiu inuicimeiiiH una wanunu
followed. In many communities they
were not allowed to speak In public.
They fled from the country, ruined In
L purse and broken in spirit. A kinder
fortune awaited them abroad. Vietoriu
became the wife of John Blddulph Mar
tin, a rich London bunker, and Is now
a widow. Tennle married Sir Francis
Cook, a retired manufacturer. They be
came partners a year ago in a broker
age business In London, under the
name Lady Cook & Co., with the sanc
tion and help of Sir Francis.
ThrouKh all her trials Lady Cook's
love of her native land has never wav
ered. It Is that which Is bringing her
back. Lady Cook is clear-headed, full
of business sagacity. Her charitable
works for the peasants on her hus
band's estates are well known. It is
eleven years since she began her edu
cational work In CIntra. From her own
private purse Lady Cook supports sev
en schools.
As many as twelve little Kirls she has

Vivid Picture In Miniature of the Lo w
er Part of the Dark Continent.
You land In South Africa at the fo.it
of n mountain, 3,600 feet high. They call
It Tabel Mountain, and the veil of ml t
that, excepting on very clear day,
overhangs it, South Africans a.e
pleased to term the "Tablecloth." PiC
sentlng a front of solid rock, 1,000 feet
In height, perpendicular as a wall, and
for half a mile on top level, this moun
tain offers the best natural Blgnboar l
on earth. Time and again have Bil.ifh
firms attempted with fabulous sums to
secure It for advertising purposes, but,
as yet, there has been no sue'.i deface
ment. Table Mountain marks the tip end
of the Dark Continent. Uelow It nivtl. s
the city of Cape Town, a beautiful bay
stretching out In the foreground. On
the West the mountain breaks off ab
ruptly, and the railroad skirts nbout
It to the Interior. On the east it slopes
off Into a hilly, picturesque formation
known as the "Llon'a Back," and then
gradually rises Into the Drakensbur.i
Mountnlns. This Is the only groat
mountain range south of the Zanii el,
and by noting its locution one may
understand In a trice Just what South
Africa Is geographically. Ste.imlng
along the east const from Cape Colony
northward, you have the I)rakenbu"g
in view nearly all the way to Belin. a
distance of 2,000 miles. In Cape Colo iy
and Natal the mountains In ir.nvy
places dip the waters' edge, and wit'i
a field glass one may see on their et a :s
and peaks smoke curling up from t'.ie
native villages. In Portuguese territory
tho mountains recede slightly from the
coast, and at Delagoa Bay there Is an
intervening stretch of lowland twei.ty
miles wide. At Beirt, this has lncrcasi-d
to sixty miles. At the Zambesi the
Drakonshurg ends.
To get Into the Interior of South Afri
ca from any of the five eaRt coast Inn 1
Ing places Port Elisabeth, East Lon
don, Durban, Delagoa Bay and Belr.i
one must cross a short extent of low
land and then ascend steep mountain'.
Having arrived there, the traveller Is
conscious of little or no descent, five
sixths of the whole Interior belmr a
vnst plateau that extends to the Zam
besi on the north, the Atlantic ocean on
the west, and varies in altltudo from
3,000 to 6,000 above the sea.
A fringe of tropical country, w h re
bloom the magnolia and the rose, where
flourish the orange, pineapple, lemon,
guavo, gr.ipe, banana, tho cotton and
the tea plant; a long stretch of moun
tains running parallel with the Indian
Ocean, the hlghi8t peaks of whli h aie
capped with enow, and In whose vnl rys
wave tracts of wheat and corn; a vn t
prairies, dotted here and there wllh
patches of scrub woodland, mission
stations, and Immense farms with mil
lions of sheep and cnttle grazing there
on: a few thousand hamlets scattered
like oases over a great landscape, ma le
black by the native Africans who live
in thatched huts, and wear but a
breech clout: a dozen Inrge towrs
where Is heard the clnng of the Amer
ican trolley car and the clatter of the
police patrol, and about which men
cluster as Hies gather to a Jnr of
sweets; the remnants of a once mighty
zoological garden, including many leop
ards, beautiful and lithe, baboons, an
telope, Jackals and crocodiles, a less
number of hippopotami and a few
herds of buffalo, elephants and giraffes,
some iron ore. some coal, some copper,
and a little silver; forty miles of go'd

Meaning of the Word Gun.
"The evolution of tho word 'gun'
forms an Interesting; study In up-to-date
etymology," remarked one of u
party of newspaper men. "A dozen or
so years ago we all understood gun to
mean a fowling piece a shotgun as
distinguished from a rille or a musket.
Heavy and light ordnance, In fact ail
pieces of artillery, without reg..rl to
size, were known as cannon. Tlmt, i,t
course, was where people made an ef
fort to speak English. Out In tho fron
tier the word gun was applied exclu
sively to. pistols.
"Nowadays the nomenclature has
curiously changed. By degrees the poo l
old word gun has become monopol zed
by the long, slim, murderous macliliita
that constitute our modern artillery.
We speak of quick-fire guns, 8-inch
10-Inch, 12-Inch guns, and the v or .
seems singularly apropos. They aie i. t
cannon. 'Cannon' immediately sug e tg

Pussy Seemed to Be a Hoodoo.
If ever the tug Lome picks up an
other derelict, and there happens to be
a black cat on the abandoned vessel,
the chances are the feline will be al
lowed to remain, for the cat taken from
the wreck of the Jane A. FalkenbuYg
seeniB to have been a hoodoo of the
most pronounced type. Storms followed
the tug all the while the cat was on
board, and many other things .have
transpired on the tug that were cer
tainly not to the Increased benefit of
those on the vessel. That was because
of the hoodoo brought from the
wrecked barkentine, said some, and
when Capt. Locke shipped the feline to
her little mistress at San Francisco by
the Walla Walla on her lust trip down
from here it was thought that all the
trouble was ended; but no two of the
officers of the tug are now no longer
connected with the vessel, and other
things happened. The steamer carrying
the cat to San Francisco broke down
when off the entrance to the Golden
Gate, and had to be towed Into port. As
will be remembered, the cat was taken
from the wreck by the Walla Walla
when that vessel rescued the ship
wrecked men, but Jumped Into the sea.
and swam back to the wreck, and re

I'ist ofilclal report, but the police dis
trict of London Includes a large
amount of outlying rural and subur
ban territory with a population of Lon
'.on proper which Is 4,400.000. The Lon
don police district covers an area 12
mlies by 15, with 7,000 miles of streets
or ronds and the duty of patrolling
the:-e accounts very largely for the ex
tensive membership of the force when
compnred with that of most American
cities.
Chicago has 3,750 policemen and the
average number of arrests In a year
amounts to 75.000, though during tho
period of the World's Fair It wns ron
pldcrnbly hlirher. Boston has 1,200 po
licemen: Baltimore, 900; St. Louis,

Among forelsn cities Paris stands
first In the number of policemen com
pared with the population; and Paler
mo, Italy, stands lowest with the
Fmallest and lenst expensive police
forco. Capital cities,, as a rule, require
more police protection than other cit
ies even of a larger population, for aa
the number of transients in a city in
crences, the demand for police service
advances and the expenses of main
tenance Increase correspondingly. The
tent of efficiency In a police department
Is not the number of men engaged, but
their capacity for making arrests of
tho right persons at the right time, and
under conditions which will be most
favoruble to their discharge if Innocent
or Ihelr conviction if guilty. A recent
report of the Cbcago Chief of Police
showed the number of'arrests In that
city for the crime of homicide to have
been 15 within the period covered. Of
tin se arrested, 3 were executed. 20 were
sentenced to terms of Imprisonment,
9 were sent to the reformatory at Pon
tlac, 17 were acquitted and 46 cases
were still pending at the time of tho
report.
In New York the number of arrests
In a year for felony amounts to about
1.000 by the detective bureau, and the
number of convictions from such nr
rests Is about 400. The number of ar
rests for homicide in a year homicide
or murder Is about 400, and the pro
portion of convictions is much larger
than It Is In the city of Chicago, which
expends for its Police Department In a
year about one-third of the sum paid
by New York.
The expense of the Philadelphia Po
lice Department Is $3,100,000 a year, and
the expense of the Boston I'ollee De
partment Is $1,550,000 or one-half the
expense of the Philadelphia depart
ment. The present population of Bos
ten Is estimated at 550,000, and that of
I hlladelphia, 1,400.000. Relatively, there
fore, the Boston Police Department Is
the more expensive of the two, and this
nppnrent discrepancy is due to the fact
t h at the number of transient visitors to
Boston is considerably larger than the
number Into Philadelphia, regarded us
ually as a "home city," the duties of
the Police Department of which are
chiefly In the line of maintaining or
'i'r. The expense of the New York' Po
lice Department for 1900 Is $12,000,000,
approximately, of which $10,700,000 Is
for police salaries, $300,000 for supplies
and the balance for rentals and contingencies.
Pewter Again In Fashion.
There is a passion for pewter Just
now; pewter made into all the knick
knackery that we have for the past
few years been seeing In silver. There
Is about pewter a softness and pliabili
ty which make it a fascinating materi
al with whic h to model, and, therefore,
besides Its use for Small pieces, artists
are working out some of their best de
signs In it. In fact, reduced figures
from life and after the antique are be
ing exhibited, along with those of
bronze and plaster. Smaller pieces,
happily within reach of many are bon
bonieres, trays and ash receivers,
mugs, plates and small figures. All
of these are presented in Innumerable
shapes and designs.
Collectors of mugs are being made
happy by this revival of the use of
pewter, and little short of madness la
about regarding the number and rarity
of those seen at Informal evening par
ties or at wither times decorating the
side walls of dining rooms. The plates
also are mostly seen aa wall decora
tions and produce a stunning effect
when well hung against a brilliant
background.
It Is not difficult to keep these pew
ter ornaments clean. A good rubbing
with chamois every fortnight is all that
Is necessary. It Is nnt desirable for
them to have the shining lustre of sil
ver; the tones of pewter should be soft
and gray. Boston Herald.
Color of Liquid Air.
The color of pure liquid air Is a beau
tiful pale blue. Before an Eustern col
lege recently was exhibited two sam
ples of liquid air in glass tubes; one
wuv made from air which had been
washed to purify it from dust, soot,
carbonln add and other impurities.
This, when condensed, was a pale blue
liquid; the other sample was mude by
condensing some of the air of the lec
ture room In which the audience wus
assembled, and was an opaque, black
ish fluid, resembling soup in appear
ance. It would appear as if condensed
semples of air might afford an easy
means for comparing different kinds of
contamination. It may be possible some
day to supply the hospitals of tropical
countries where the natural air supply
Is bad, and the necessity for a better
one very pressing, with beautiful blue
country air guaranteed absolutely pure.
This can never be accomplished, how
ever, until some means have been pro
vided for transporting liquid air to con
siderable dirt a noes without enormous
losses, caused by its return to its for
mer state. Est l.cnge.

In tho recent case of EafTerty
vs. Norris the superior court of
Peunsylvauia decided an interest
point of law. The case was tried
in Clearlield county before Judge
Gordon and the facts were as fol
lows: RalTerty had advertised a tract
of timber laud at public auction.
Norris was tho highest bidder;
aud after tho salo ho refused to
take the property on the ground
that there wus not tho amount of
timber represented in tho ad
vertisement, and because fraud
had been, as he alleged, practiced
by Kafferty- Kafferty then went
on and re-advertised and resold
the timber and having sold it for
several hundred dollars less thau
Norris' bid, they sued Norris
to recover difference and also re
cover their expenses connected
with tho resale.
On tho trial upon tho cross ex
amination of plaintiffs, Mr.Norris'
couusel, Messrs. Kwoope & Pat-
ton, drew out the fact that Kaff
erty had employed a party to bid
up the timber land for thorn to a
certain price, and defendant's
counsel contended that this viti
ated the sale and rendered it
fraudulent and that plaintiffs
could not recover. Judge Gor
don so held, and plaintiffs appeal
ed the case to the superior court
which affirmed tho decision of
Judgo Gordon aud sustained tho
position of defendant's counsel
that tho employment of a party
to bid for tho owner at a public
sale is a fraud on bidders aud
renders the sale void and nou for
cible.
The Pulpit no Place for a Lazy
Man.
Pennsylvania this school year
gave her schools tho maguUieeut
sum of almost 1$), 000,000, con
tributed by tho people diroctand
by appropriation from tho State
treasury. This is much more
than any other Stato in tho Uuiou
gives, auu shows that in tho mat
ter of education Pennsylvania is
still at tho head of the procession.
The man is truly attached to
his wife who can bring up a
bucket of coal withont being ask
ed.
Bishop Bowman, of Chicago, in
a plain talk to pastors before the
East Pennsylvania Conference of
the Evangelical Association at
Reading last week said, "A lazy,
slip-shod man is not a good man
for tho ministry. I have been
surprised at tho apparent indif
ference with which some minis
ters perforin tho duties of their
holy calling. I have been in the
ministry forty-one years, and in
all that time I have not been able
to take even a week's vacation.
"Let us ever remember the
high dignity of our office and act
accordingly. I do not want to
see a minister dressed up too
much like a dude, but let his ap
parel be in keeping with the dig
nified culling.
"The moment we take up such
methods as necktie parties, danc
ing and euchro parties for relig
ion it is an awful thing, and
should not bo tolerated as means
to raise money for tho church.
Our ministers should all be well
paid, but I know you will be will
ing to practice self denial rather
thau accept money from such
doubtful sources."
Senator CliiHolm's Slander Suit,
Senator H. C. Ciiisolm has in
stituted a suit against Dr. V. L.
Schum, a prominent physician in
Huntingdon for damages in the
sum of fcL'0,000. Tho plaintiff
avers that Dr. Schum has been
circulating a story in the effect
that ho (Chisolm) had sent his
brother, W. V. Chisolm, in com
pany with one Israel Durham,
with a letter to M. S. Quay, stat
ing that for $10,000 tho latter
could procure tho vote of Senator
Chisolm in his contest for United
States Senator, and that Quay's
answer was that if Chisolm could
not support him after all that ho
had done for tho entire Chisolm
family he could go to the devil.
Senator Chisolm, who is a can
didate for ra-uomination, denies
that he ever mude such a proix
sition to Quay, or that ho ever
gave the least intimation that his
vote was purchasable under any
circumstances.
