CHOICE MISCELLANY
A Qm-er London Organization.
There was a peculiar and significant
conference the other afternoon at St.
George's hall, Westminster Bridge
road, n conference of husbands met to
gether for the purpose of devising some
method of protecting men afflicted with
drunken wives.
The outcome was the formation of a
protection society for such unfortunate
husbands.
The seriousness of the subject In
volved was duly emphasized by the
promoter of the meeting, whose sad ex
perience had been, he informed the
conference, that during his 24 years of
married life he had been compelled to
buy liis home back fronf the pawnbro
kers four times over owing to the In
temperate habits of his wife.
Many thousands of husbands, he add
ed, were in a state of abject slavery.
Home after home had been rendered
miserable by the overindulgence of
women In alcoholic liquors.
It was urged that while the wife had
redress against the husband the latter
had no remedy against the wife, who
could pledge his furniture or break up
his home nt will. Having formed
themselves Into a protection society,
the husbands passed a resolution in
favor of amending the bishop of Win
chester's bill so as to reach drunken
wives. This will he forwarded to the
prime minister, the home secretary, the
bishop of Winchester and various mem
bers of parliament.—Exchauge.
American Telephone* Abroad.
An American house, one of the lar
gest manufacturers of telephones and
supplies in the world, recently received
an extensive order for telephones and
switchboards to be used In the new
telephone system of London. The or
der. which Is said to amount to nearly
51.000.000, was received from the Brit
ish government through the company's
London house. The company's New
York manager says:
"The orders thus far received are
merely advance orders. We expect
larger ones. It was reported that our
contract amounted to $5,000,000. That
was an exaggeration, but It Is quite
within the bounds of possibility that
the orders will soon grow to that pro
portion.
"I don't believe any English firms
complained because we received or
ders, for there Is no house in Englnud
able to fill such nn extensive contract
for telephones and switchboards. It
wIH largely depend on the government
whether the telephone ever becomes as
popular In London as it is here.
"There are 00,000 telephones in New
York, while in London there are less
than 20,000. That Is due to the poor
service as compared with ours."—Lon
don Mail.
!N>w York * Fie Market.
More pies are made in New York
than in any other city in t lie world.
The daily output of the regular pie
factories is in excess of 125.000. The
pie baking record was held by Boston
until two years ago. The pie habit is
growing on New Yorkers.
The biggest pie factory in the coun
try turns out 20,000 pies a day. There
are scores of smaller factories which
turn them out by the carload daily.
The work is under the direction of an
expert baker, who receives a large sal
ary. These factories claim to use the
very best materials In making pies.
Until recently there was a prejudice
against factory pies, but this Is disap
pearing.
The most popular pie Is that made of
apples. For years its popularity has
nod' been shaken. The standard pies
next to apple are lemon and custard.
AMimpkln pies are in great demand in
the fall and mince pics In the winter.
Peach pies are the most popular after
these. T"ntfl the factory made pie ap
peared New York was several times
threatened with serious pio famines.

A WOMAN WHO HAS WRITTEN MANY
POPULAR HYMNS AND POEMS.

Novel Table Decoration*.
Mrs. Sarah A. Mender, who has writ
ten many religious hymns ami patriotic
poems, has Just celebrated the eighty
fourth anniversary of her birtli at the
residence of her daughter, Mrs. A. P.
Brink, IDB2 Sheridan road. For 00
years Mrs. Meader has been an active
member of the Methodist Episcopal
church and since her girlhood has writ
ten sacred songs typifying the zeal she
manifested in her religious work.
Probably the most widely known of
these productions Is "The Gospel
Train." Half a century ago this was
one of the most popular hymns, as it
was one of those quulnt songs which
were a feature of early Methodism.
Even at her advanced age Mrs. Mea
der today finds her greatest comfort in
writing religious verso.
But her talent was not turned in this
direction wholly. She has written hun
dreds of other poems, many of them
MliS. HA It AII A. MKADKB.
having been published. Her patriotic
works also have attracted attention.
At the time of Admiral Dewey's victo
ry Jn Manila bay she wrote a spirited
song to the tune of "Yankee Doodle,"
in which the significant line occurs,
"He taught them first with shot and
shell."
Mrs. Meader was born in Plnttsburg,
N. Y., in ISI7 and has been married
twice. Her oldest son, Edwin Cubley,
was one of the first settlers of Havens
wood. Her daughter, Mrs. A. P. Brink,
was one of the founders of the Havens
wood Woman's club. She was presi
dent of the organization for two years,
her term Laving Just expired.
On the occasion of her anniversary
celebration MTH. Meader received many
congratulations from her friends on
having added nearly another score of
years to the Scriptural period of three
score and ten. She received these
friends and their kind words with more
enthusiasm and spirit than are shown
by many women much younger.—Chi
cago Tribune.

It is said of 30-year-old Annie Pan
tenburg of Sidney, Neb., that she can
go out on the range, catch the wildest
horse in the herd, rope it, throw it,
hraml it without assistance, then re
turn to the house and cook a meal that
would tempt the appetite of a pamper
ed epicure. She Is known as the horse
and cattle queen of western Nebraska.
Miss Pantenburg lives on the ranch
of her father, the late John Panten
burg. She is a typical western girl, hav
ing been born on the banks of I.odge
pole creek within nn hour's ride of Sid
ney. Her tastes, instincts and training
are In sympathy with the freedom of
the western prairies ami the buoyancy
of outdoor lib'. She is said to have In
herited the nerve and daring of her
father, who wag a famous freighter be
tween Sidney and the Black Hills in
the early days.
Since tlie death of her father the
young girl has taken personal supervi
sion of the ranch. She lias ,1,000 acres
of prairie and hundreds of head of cat
tle under her control ami concerns her
self very little with spring styles of
skirt or modes of headgear. Miss Pan
tenburg keeps tal> 011 the markets and
does all the buying and selling for the
ranch. She determines when a consign
ment of stock Is to he disposed of, and
it is with her that tin? neighboring
ranchmen confer when the brand for a
maverick is in dispute.
She is credited with knowing every
cattle and horse brand In western Na
braska and southern Wyoming. The
Pantenburg family consists of an inva
lid mother and two younger brothers,
besides the young mistress of the house
hold.—New York World.
Womnn Voli'd Mnny Time*.
Miss Kate M. Gordon of New Or
leans, who has Just been elected corre
sponding secretary of the National
American Woman's Suffrage associa
tion, Is probably the only person In the
United States who ever voted legiti
mately several hundred times In one
ilny. When the Louisiana constitution
al convention in 1808 gave tnxpaying
women the right to vote upon nil ques
tions submitted to the taxpayers, it
added a clause to the effect that any
woman who preferred to do so might
cast her vote by proxy.
Soon after a special election was
held in New Orleans to levy n tax for
Improved sewerage. Now Orleans was
almost the only city of its size without
underground sewers. Up to that time
every effort to levy n special tax for
sewers had failed. When the women
taxpayers were given a vote, they took
a great Interest In the question, held
many public and parlor meetings and
cast a large vote. The election went In
favor of better sanitation, and, accord
ing to the newspapers of the city, "the
women did It."
Miss Gordon was president of the
Women's Sewerage and Drnlnuge
league of New Orleans. She collected
proxies from 300 woman taxpayers
who wanted better sewers, but were
timid about golug to the polls, and she
spent election day In driving about
and voting over and over again lu all
parts of the city, as every proxy vote
hod to be cast In the precinct where
the person giving the proSy lived. The
Business Men's association of New Or
leans gave Miss Gordon a medal for
her exertions.
Good Story on Herself.
The exceedingly handsome wife of a
certain senator Is going about these
days doing what only the hundredth
woman would ever think of doing. She
is telling a story on herself. Not very
long ago a woman of fashion gave a
very elaborate luncheon. As the sena
tor's wife seated herself and drew off
her gloves she noticed that beside her
sat a stout and elderly person, obvious
ly wealthy, obviously dressed by a
provincial modiste after a cut paper
pattern and Just as obviously unused
to the ways of polite society. She
seemed not to know any one present.
Indeed she presently turned to the sen
ator's wife and confessed it.
"I guess yours Is the only face here I
know, except Emily's, there," Indicat
ing the hostess. "She's my niece. But
I knew you the minute I set eyes on
you. I says to myself, 'There's Mrs.
Senator Blank, and I know It.' "
"Perhaps you'd seen me somewhere
before," said the senator's wife gra
ciously. "I think you are from 1113* hus
band's state, are you not?"
"Yes, I am," admitted the stranger,
"but I ain't ever seen you before."
"My picture In the magazine, then?"
said the senator's wife, who had ap
peared In the public prints frequently
of late.
"That's It," answered the other eager
ly. "That's Just how I came to know
you ns soon as I saw you. I've been
seeing you In the backs of magazines
for months, and, say, I want to ask
you, confidential like, is that soap you
advertise as good as It's represented
to be?"— Washington Post.
Next Federation Meeting:.
The next blcnniul meeting of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
will be held In Los Angeles, and 111 or
der to give the expected visitors a
glimpse of California under favorable
weather conditions the Los Angeles
club women have set April 2(, 1902,
as the opening date for the six day
convention. This Is a month earlier
than the usual time for holding the
biennial meetings, but May Is apt to
prove a foggy time In California, and
the club women of the convention city
wish It and the surrounding country
to be seen at their best, as It Is antici
pated that many club women from
other sections will take advantage of
the special railroad rates to visit the
California coast at this time.
The convention will open 011 Thurs
day, which Is an innovation, as the
earlier days of the week have hitherto"
been selected and the proceedings con
cluded by Saturday when possible, al
though at the Denver meeting three
years ago the convention extended Into
the next week. Sunday coming in the
middle of the convention week at Los
Angeles will afford an opportunity for
needed rest, for even the most interest
ed attendant is apt to find five or six
duys of continuous attendance at u
convention extremely wearisome.
Novel Table Decorations.
Speaking of illning rooms, lovely old
silver lamps are to be seen in the an
tique departments of some of the big
shops. These lamps are adapted for
electric lights and are suspended by sil
ver chains above the dinner table.
The pretty old fashion of having
quaintly shaped "dishes" of rare china
filled with a few choice pears, peaches,
etc., is coming into favor once more,
hut now the china dishes are replaced
by small baskets of silver or silver gilt,
and they are placed at the four corners
of the table.
At a fete given by a rich wine grower
of Bbclms the decorations were won
drously beautiful, quite spectacularly
so. The ballroom was wreathed literal
ly from floor to ceiling with pink roses
and shaded leaves, and every other
flower contained a tiny electric light,
which sparkled and shimmered like so
many stars. The supper room was even
more beautiful and must have present
ed a deliclously cool and inviting ap
pearance. The entire cave was trelllsed
with vine leaves, relieved with hunches
of the grape green and purple fruit
each cluster being lighted with elec
tricity.
An American Dnrhoii,
The new Duchess of Manchester is
well known In Edinburgh and St. An
drews as an enthusiastic golfer and Is
exceedingly fond of all outdoor recrea
tions. She can cycle well, play tennis,
take a hand at hockey and even cricket.
Her manners are those of a free and
charming American girl, and she dress
es In the best of taste, says Homo Chat.
There Is a grim story associated with
Tanderngce castle, where the young
Duke of Manchester and his American
bride spent their honeymoon. The cas
tle was inherited from a family named
Sparrow, oue of whose daughters
brought the castle to her husband. An
other daughter died in the great chol
era plague at the beginning of the cen
tury and was hurled in the family
vault at Tnnderagee churchyard. When
the vault was opened years afterward,
the skeleton of the unfortunate girl
was found far from the coffin, kneeling
by the door of the vault.
A Factory Girl*® nine.
It Is a pretty and inspiring 6tory, that
of General N. 1\ Banks and Uia wife.
There la ft leason In !t for the poor
boys and girls. Nathaniel P. Banks
was a bobbin boy In a Massachusetts
cotton mill, and at a spinning frame
near worked a bright, sweet, winsome
girl, Mary Palmer, who afterward be
came Mrs. Banks. Both young people
were ambitious and energetic and after
the mill closed studied at the evening
schools, tired as they were. Mrs. Banks
lias Just died, and the Boston Journal
of Commerce says of her that she was
a lady who, starting In the lowest po
sition that a cotton mill could offer
her, rose by means of pluck, high
moral character and eagerness to bet
ter her lot until she finally attained
the highest position among the ladles
of the state. This Is the story of the
wife of a governor of Massachusetts.—
Detroit Free Press.
Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stevens and Miss
Anna A. Gordon, president and vice
president at large of the National W.
C. T. U., have completed a southern
trip of over eight weeks' duration.
They traveled over 0,000 miles and
delivered 78 addresses.
If girls had less of a smattering of
high sounding knowledge and were
better grounded in the practical les
sons of living, It would be Infinitely
better for their future happiness.—

Twenty Years a Lunatic.
Afilicted from childhood by a strange
mania which made him think that every
piece of metal he found was gold, an ob
ject of public pity, Michael Reap, of
Pittston, lias returned from Philadelphia
in his right tuiud.
At an early age ho was hit on the
hoad with a blunt Instrument, which left
him In a demented condition. For
twenty years he roamed the streets of
the city, gathering pieces of Iron and
wire, which ho declared was gold. Al
though a member of a respected family,
and heir to a handsome fortune, he was
allowed to accumulate what in his rav
ings he called a "heap of money."
Several months ago ho entered an hos
pital in Philadelphia and is now com
pletely cured. A slight depression of a
bone on the brain was found, which,
physicians declare, could have been
removed twenty years ago.
