A fireman: or “3in In a. Florida City (human and Managed by a Woman. There isan "electric system of rail- ways in Tampa which should possess more than ordinary interest for the la- dies throughout the country from. the .fact that ‘it is practically owned and operated by a. Woman. Hername is Mrs. Chapin, and there is not a detail of the operation of the railway that she is not thoroughly. familiar with. The system which she owns is practi- cally a. belt line, and every place of in- terest in Tampa is touched by it. Some of the routes are of much beauty, and one which runs from the heart of the city to Ballast Point, 3. distance of six miles, is full of picturesque and other attractive features. On this particular line observation or double deck cars are used, and nearly every one takes seats on the upper deck under an awn- ing.’ On account of the many curves in the route the cars are run at a slow rate, which is a matter of satisfaction, for it enables the passengers to more thoroughly enjoy the beauties of the pine woods, the fascinations of the or-‘ ange groves and the glimpses of Tam— the wands every few minutes. ‘ For some time it is said Mrs. Chapin has been endeavoring to extend her Ballast Point route to Port Tampa, but thus far difficulties in connection with the right of way have prevented her from carrying out her desires. At Bal— last Point, near which she has a fine residence, Mrs. C’hapin owns consider- able property, and here she has erect- ed an artistic pavilion of the Chinese style of architecture, which is used by dancing and pleasure parties from Tampa. Mrs. Chapin not only owns practical‘ ly all the stock of the Tampa street railway system, but she oversees all the details of its operation and herself directs them. She owns a handsome car, which she calls Fair Florida, and on this she takes daily trips all over her lines, and from it she directs the work of the road. While not a young woman, Mrs. Chapin is said to be still in the prime of life. She has a won-- derful capacity for business and pos- sesses strong powers of endurance—— Philadelphia Ledger. YALE’S TRAVELING LETTER. It Has Been Circulated Among the Class Blembers for Fifty Years. Probably no letter in the whole world in all time has been travelling. for so long as that of the class of ’44 of Yale College. Some fifty years ago some of the members undertook to keep a letter circulating, each man receiving it, adding whatever he con- sidered would interest the others, and when the ep-istle got around to him again removing his previous effort and replacing it with a new one. So the letter went on its endless way year after year, and to-day it is still moving, telling to the aged men who are left of the class of ’44 what their fellows are doing—of their successes and disappointments, of deaths, too often, as the class dwindles away be- fore the ruthless hand of time. Not all the survivors are members of the chain, but the letter writers are so well distributed that almost all the class- mates are heard from and hear the news contained in the letter. At present the letter makes a long journey in the intervals between its ar- rivals to any one man. A Worcester member is John A. Dana. He has just received the regretful comments of his classmates at the death of their old friend at college, Colonel John W. Wetherell, with comments on the newspaper biography which Mr. Dana had enclosed at his last sending. The letter had gone from Worcester to Lee, Mass; thence to Chicago, to Minneap- olis, to Passadena, 0211.; Birmingham, Alabama; Cape May and another New Jersey town; Plantville, Conn; Pitts- field, Somerville, and back to Worces- ter.——Worcestor Gazette. Gun cotton ’in Torpedoes.- Torpedoes are loaded with gun-cot- ton, which is ordinary cotton fibre soaked with nitric acid. When gun- cotton is wet it is a non-explosive ex- cept under certain peculiar conditions. Dry gun—cotton\is very explosive, and wet gun-cotton will explode if the dry is placed with it and subjected to a shock or an electric current or fire It is the habit on men-of- war to keep the bulk of gun-cotton saturated with water and a small quantity of the ry for priming pur- poses locked up in the cabin or at subject to contact and can easily be steel box suspended to the wall or to \ J in l? i‘L.\ 1-3:; G r. AfZF'iT 11:3 -' '- ‘MRS. SENATOR” IN, WASHINGTON. '[ ‘szu‘e Entertain: Handsome], Shgjbfoi t . ’I‘nlce the‘Le‘ad- .1 The Senator’s wife is- quite agree; personage in society at the national gapital. She takes rank in importance next to the ladies of the Cabinet and the Wives of theiJudges of the Sn- urcznc Court. Should she be rich and t generous entertainer, she may even take precedence of them socially to all .ntcnts and purposes, though not ofll- :ially, of course. Her weekly recep- ;iens during the season are eagerly taught, and in her parlors may be found all the distinguished men of the Administration a scattering of foreign (Embassadors and ‘Ministers with their wives and the secretaries and at- taches of legations. She is invited to State dinners at the President’s house, and indeed no door may be closed up- 31} her. Somdtimes the woman who finds her- ._.-.f in this exalted social position is used to a quiet, domestic and unevent- [ul life in some small Western town, and is frightened as well as dazzled by this brilliant company that surrounds her. Usually under such circum- stances, with all a woman’s clever adaptability, she soon learns to take her honors as a matter of course and becomes a thorough society woman, but occasionally one is found who is‘ so frightened by the gay prospect that she shrinks hastily back into her shell and hides herself away in obscurity so that people of the smart set almost forget her existence except when they meet her at long intervals at White House dinners. The invitations from the President, by the .way, are very like those that emanate from royalty abroad. They are politely worded commands, and no one dares disobey them. Most people do not want to, however; on the contrary such honors are eagerly sought. f Most women, even if naturally in-‘ ciiued to shrink from social gayeties, would make an effort to overcome the feeling when their husbands are elect- cd to the Senate, if only for motives of political expediency, for it is a veil—known fact that States take great pride in being represented at Wash- ington in a manner that “does them credit.” The farmer loves to read of the 'gayeties of his favorite Senator and to discuss them with his friend over the counter of the store later in the day. In fact, there is no surer way for a man to secure a national reputation than by giving a. series of dinners and balls in Washington. In order to be a perfect success so- cially as a. Senator’s wife a woman must be decidedly healthy and strong, for the life is rather an exacting one. A Senator’s wife must be well in- formed upon the topics of the day at home and abroad. She must know what bills are being discussed in both houses and what their prospects of success may be.—New York Jour- ial. CONDITIONS OF LIFE IN HAYTl. A Street Quarrel May Cause :1 Panic Among the People. When a fire breaks out in the town stand under arms, and few except the firemen and the people near the place of confiagration venture out in the street, the reason being that most revolutionary movements are started in this manner. While fire draws the attention to some remote part of Port au Prince, the “conspirators,” as they are always called, attempt tostorm the arsenal and the prison, liberating and arming their inmates. Many a dam gerous criminal owes his liberty to an incident of this nature. Another peculiar feature of the con- stant excitement is the so-called couru —derived from courier, the French word for run—when everybody in the streets starts to run. The writer re- members well one that happened in Port au Prince, the capital, about five years ago, when the situation was comparatively quiet. Two young men who quarrelled about a woman met near the market-place, drew their re- volvers and fired at each other. This caused a panic in the market-halls; everybodycommenced to run, in order to get home. Nobody knew what had happened; nobody knew what was go- ing to happen; those who had not heard the shots, seeing the others take to their heels, also ran for the shelter of their homes. The stores closed; strong detachments of troops patrolled the streets, headed by the chief-of—po- lice, the commanders of the port, the town, and the “Arrondissement”; and finally the President himself, being in doubt as to the outcome of the affair, almost all the stores close, the troops' in any part of‘nhe Country.

A Town That Takes the Prize. Marlboro, Hartford County, Conn, has a population of 582, but only 79 persons voted at the last election. It has no doctor, no lawyer, no clergy— man who resides there, and its school- children number only 81. It has silk isiwuld mills, where the operatives are, pre- sumably, largely unmarried women, which accounts for the disproportion of population to voters. It has two post-- ofiices and sends two members to the Legislature, as many as‘ Bridgeport. and it is reached by stage daily from East Hampton. It voted for no license by a majority of five on a total vote of fifty-five. In some respects it takes the prize for its peculiarities—New York Tribune. 9 left the palace and rode through the streets at the head of about two hun- dred and fifty cavalry, with their car- bines on the thigh and their fingers on the trigger, who were followed by a battalion of infantry. Only one man of the party besides the officers was without a rifle: he carried on his head a. soapbox full of cartridges. All this had been caused by a few shots 'cx- changed between two men! They were promptly arrested, but the ma- jority of people did not know until the next morning why they “ran.” ’1: is indeed quite natural that they l i l a l i look for shelter at 5' ch 3 time; for justice (and sometimes in- justice), always summarily dispensed, particularly high-handed at the time of :\ couru.
