A. White Woman's Expedition to Africa.
Mrs. May French Sheldon, wife of E.
I. Sheldon, who represents the Jarris
Conklin Mortgage Trust company in
London, is about to engage in a trip to a
wild portion of Africa as the head of an
exploring party. Mrs. Sheldon has lived
most of her life in London, although she
ia a native .New Yorker. She has given
great attention to African exploration.
Her home in London has been tne ren
frulijumna for African explorers and stu
dents. She has been for a long time an Inti
mate friend of Henry M. Stanley. She
says she is going simply because she
wants to, and is going to run the expe
dition herself and to suit herself. She
goes to Africa for the purpose ' of learn
ing the ways and customs, legends and
folklore of the 'natives and incorporat
ing them into a book. She is to sail from
England in February, and will go first
to Zanzibar, thence to Mombasa, and
then will begin her journey inland. Mrs,
Sheldon says:
The expedition will be entirely my
own, the honors, if any, shall not be
divided, and the criticisms and of
course there will be many must be
aimed at me alone. I shall be the only
white woman in the party. I shall be
attended, of course, by several black
women. I will also have such military
protection as I think necessary. I ex
pect to reach Mount Kilima-Njaro. My
little venture, I feel sore, will be a com
paratively safe one. I shall be in Africa
three months. Exchange.
Fainted in Front of the Locomotive.
Mrs. IL M. Bennett, of this city, had
a narrow escape from death several days
ago at Monmouth Junction, N. J. Mr.
a and Mrs. Bennett have a country seat
there, ' and they came to the depot to
take a train for Pittsburg. The Penn
sylvania road has four tracks at this
point, and trains are passing most of the
time, making it exceedingly dangerous
for pedestrians. What is known as the
Congregational express, which does not
stop, was due, and Mr. Bennett saw it
approaching, but there was plenty of
time to cr3 over.
He started across the tracks accompa
nied by Mrs. Bennett, when a track
walker called her attention to the ex
press, and waved his hand in the direc
tion of the train. It frightened Mrs.
Bennett, and she fell on the track in a
dead faint in front of the train. There
was no time to lose, and Mr. Bennett
and the railroad men, realizing her posi
tion, rushed to her side and pulled her
off but a few seconds before the express
passed by. Mrs. Bennett is a large wom
an, and her dress caught on a spike' and
was torn, but she didn't realize what an
escape she had until she was restored to
consciousness. Pittsburg Dispatch.
Miss Cary's Triumphs.
"Miss Lizzie Webb Cary, the soprano of
. the Church of the Incarnation, is one of
the most popular church singers in this
-3ly. She is a native of Maine and came
to this city about two years ago. Miss
XSary is in distinguished company. The
leader of the choir and tenor, Mr. Arthur
D. Woodruff, is a famous director and
soloist, and Miss Augusta M. Lowell, the
' organist, bears the unique distinction of
being the leading lady organist in this
country. Miss Cary is particularly well
known in oratorio and concert singing.
She has won many triumphs before Bos
ton audiences and has many devoted ad
mirers in other parts of the country
Miss Cary is one of the best paid singers
in a New York choir and more than
doubles her salary by her outside work.

A Smoker's Revenge.
The will of William Bachelor, a wealthy
ana eccentric resident of Coshocton, Ov
has been offered for probate. Nathaniel
Bradner, a nephew, is disinherited, be
cause, Mr. Bachelor wrote, "1 don't like
his wife pretty well." The will requires
that all the heirs must file an affidavit
with the executor promising not to give
any part of their bequests to Bradner. It
is reported that during a visit to this
nephew in New York Mr. Bachelor could
not smoke in the parlor because Mrs.
Bradner objected. For this, it is sup

even." Philadelphia Ledger.
A Potato Party.
Miss Lavinia Kanffman, of East King
street, gave a "potato" party to ten of
her girl friends at her father's residence
Friday evening. Bach of the misses
had eight potatoes to pick up with a
teaspoon, placing them in a basket, and
the one getting the greatest number of
potatoes into the basket in three min
utes was to be awarded first prize. The
"booby' prize was a "bronzed" potato.

Christine Terhnne Herrick.
A daughter of Marion Harland, Who
has made a place for herself "by her own
work, has a double claim upon the in
terest of American women.
So familiar has the name of Christine
Terhune Herri ck become upon the covers
of books, and in newspapers and maga
zines, that it is difficult to realize that
her first article was written only five
years ago, .and that .she is one of the
youngest in the army of American women
writers. Marion Harland educated her
daughter almost wholly at home, and
trained her, as she insists that every
woman should be trained, to be self
supporting in case of need.
But, curiously enough, the vocation
for which she was trained was not that
of a writer, but of a teacher. She was
thoroughly trained in English litera
ture, Anglo-Saxon and philology, for a
chair in English literature, and she
taught her favorite subject in a New
England woman's school long enough to
become accustomed to teaching methods.
. She understands French, Ttalian, Ger
man and Latin, besides English and
Anglo-Saxon. But all through her girl
hood there was no thought of her writ
ing. It was not until she had been mar
ried nearly a year, and was keeping her
own house at Springfield, Mass., after
Dr. and Mrs. Terhune had removed to
Brooklyn, that she sent her first article
to a' domestic magazine. That was ac
cepted, and was followed by several
others, when their author found her
work in demand, a demand which has
increased from that time to this.
Housekeepers Weekly.
Woman's Fondness for Scent.
All dainty women are fond of scent.
Some of them use it very extravagantly.
They saturate their dresses with per
fume, so that when they are taken out
of the wardrobe they are as fragrant as
a bank of violets. Lilac, heliotrope
blossom and violet are all popular per
fumes, but violet takes the palm. A
saleswoman in a Begent street perfumer's
told me that fashionable women spent
more on perfumes for the bath than for
other purposes. She could not tell me
what a fashionable woman's scent bill
came to in a year. Some women bought
their perfume in bulk, by the half gallon
or the quart. A three half pint bottle
of opoposax costs three guineas! The
young woman said that some of their
wealthiest customers frittered away a
small fortune in a year on expensive
toilet trivialities.
There's a long list of things in a fash
ionable toilet bill. Scent is not the heav
iest item. There's face wash, soap, pow
der, vinegar, pastilles for the breath, and
rouge and other things. The principal
items in the list face wash, soap, powder
and toilet vinegar, that is are made to
match all the newest perfumes. If your
favorite smell is violet you can get all
these things smelling of violets. It is a
fad now to use only one perfume. I came
across a new perfume for the bath at a
place called Sicilian Vespers. A few
spoonfuls of this poured into a warm
bath, they said, would give you an idea of
the famous perfumed bath of the Roman
aristocrat during the Empire. Miss
Mantalina in Pall Mall Budget. :
Interviewing; Kate Field.
In a room at the Victoria hotel is a
desk covered with newspapers, books and
manuscripts. At the desk sits a little
woman in a blue cloth dress. Her eyes
are very wide awake and penetrating,
her hair is turning gray, her lips are
pressed close together, her expression is
rranK ana tanaiy. ne little woman is
Kate Field. She lives in New York and
publishes her paper, Kate Field's Wash
ington, in Washington.
- I Would rather interview Kate Field
than any other woman I know. What
she says is always honest and lucid. She
has original views about everything. She
does not know what it is to beat about
the bush. She has veracity and vivacity.
As I was leaving Miss Field took me
to a window in her study. "There," she
said, "is a view I never tire of." I looked
out, and I saw Twenty-third street at the
junction of Fifth avenue and Broadway,
the Fifth Avenue hotel, the Brunswick
and Madison square. O' nights the long
lines of street lights glitter like a diamond
necklace.
I was congratulating myself that I had
material for a capital interview, one re
plete with maxim, aphorism, paradox,
but Miss Field nipped my congratula
tions in the bud. "All that I have said,"
she concluded, "is of course entre nous
it is not for print." New York World.
Very Spoony.
A spoon luncheon was the very novel
entertainment given by a recent bride to
the bridesmaids and ushers who were to
attend the wedding. The table cloth
was white linen with delicate drawn
work over pale blue satin, the china
white and gold, crossed spoons made of
forget-me-nots were in front of each
plate, and the central decoration was a
mound of white and pink rosebuds, sup
ported by china Cupids, each holding a
large spoon made of forget-me-nots.
The souvenirs were, for each lady, a
silver spoon, with the combined mono
grams of the bride and groom and the
date, and for the gentlemen, scarf pins
shaped like tiny spoons, with a turquoise
in the bowl of each. Demorest's Family
Magazine.
Compassion.
An adroit Market street merchant
corrected his wife's yearning for a seal
skin coat by carelessly leaving within
her reach a copy of "Our Dumb Ani
mals," containing - an article 'on the
cruelty of seal killing, which states that
when the seals are frightened or hurt
large tears drop from their eyes. In
stead of the coat the lady has settled on
an elegant hat set off with the plumage
of four rare birds. Philadelphia Record.

I have always thought that the weak
spot in the Salvation Army is that Gen.
Booth places his. children in high posi
tions, and evidently contemplates the
generalship being hereditary in his fam
ily. Now, the odds against the son of a
remarkable man being the person best
fitted to succeed him in arbitrary sway
over a vast organization' are great.' We
do not dream of judges' sons succeeding
judges, or prime ministers' sons succeed
ing prime ministers, although' possibly
the fathers may think that the sons are
more fitted than any others to carry on
their-work. '
' In a letter the general explains that
the general of the Salvation Army for
the time being is to have the fullest pow
ers of administrative and executive con
trol over the property (i. e., the funds
subscribed), and that in the deed regu
lating' this provision win be. made for
the appointment of his successor at his
death. . But he does not explain how this
successor is to be appointed. . If the
funds are placed in the hands of Gen.
Booth a committee should he appointed
to whom he would himself be responsi
ble, and which committee would have
some voice in the appointment of his
successor, and have some sort of control
over him. London Truth. -
Electric Lights on a Railroad Track. .
The line of the .Pennsylvania railroad,
from Frankf ord creek on the south to
Poquessing creek on the north, at Torres
dale, a distance of nearly seven miles,
is soon to be lighted by electric lights
ranged along at intervals, so that for
that distance the tracks will be as light
as Chestnut street.
The contract for this latest great feat
in modern railroad management for the
security of the lives of passengers and
employes, and the avoidance of loss by
the smashing up of freight trains, has
been awarded.
The stretch of railroad to be lighted is
through a populous district, and has
long been noted for the frequency of ac
cidents on it. There is little doubt that
the electric lighting will greatly reduce
or almost entirely do away with this
danger.
It is understood that in time the elec
tric lighting system - will be extended
along the railroad, and may in time ex
tend all the way between Philadelphia
and New York.' In this way the track
would be made almost as bright as day.

A Clever Smuggling Scheme. '
. A string of sausages floated idly around
in an . eddy between two Pacific coast
steamship docks two hours the other
day. They popped up from somewhere,
nobody knew where. The City of Pueb
lo had been thoroughly, searched and
nothing contraband discovered. Cus
toms Inspector Critcher, standing guard
on her deck, suspected nothing, but fret
ted by thg persistency of the sausages
in floating in the slip instead of follow
ing the tide, called to two boatmen to
take them out of the water. The boat
men did so, and it was found that every
"sausage" had a fine silk fish line tied to
it, at the end of which dangled a box of
opium wrapped in oiled silk. There were
2,200 boxes in all, worth nearly $3,000.
The "sausages" were scraps of cork
wrapped in tarpaulin and linked with
cord, each Jink being loaded with suffi
cient salt to sink it about a foot under
water. San Francisco Letter. "

A novel elopement which occurred
Saturday was that of Mr. J. T. Higdon,
a young printer, and Miss Rosalind
Bush, the 14-year-old daughter of Sam
uel T. Bush, a well known carpenter of
Owensboro, Ky. As the girl could be
gotten away from home only during the
daytime, the groom conceived the idea
of dressing in female attire and getting
out of town -without creating any suspi
cion. Accordingly he so dressed him
self, and, calling at the house of a friend
for the girl, they escaped in a buggy to
Rockport, Ind., where they were mar
ried. Too late the father ascertained
that he had been outwitted, and swore
he would kill, etc. He is tamer now,
however, and the young people are hap
py. Cor. Louisville Courier-Journal.
Game at Small Expense.
The crew and passengers of the Pitts
burg were treated to a game dinner on
the way down the river a few days ago.
While between Keokuk and Quincy the
river was filled with wild ducks. Dur
ing the night a hailstorm set in and dis
turbed the birds,- and they flocked
around the boat, many being dashed to
death against the cabins and masts and
falling . upon the decks. A sufficient
number was picked up by the crew to
feed everybody on the boat. Louisiana

The Highest Texas Wheat Field.
A company or capitalists has .pur
chased 10,000 acres of land on the sail-
road at Vista, and will convert the entire
body into one immense wheat field.
Much of the land can be broken this
winter. Twelve gang plows have been
ordered, and the breaking of the land
will commence as soon as these arrive.
A wheat field 10,000 acres in extent is so
far unknown in Texas. Cor. San Anto
