About live feet four inches tall and 115 pounds in weight, i-he Is as strong us a man and lias not an ounce of superfluous fiesh. She can play at tennis as long as her opponent, whether male or female, for she has a remarkable fund of energy- She belongs to a (.'alifornia fam ily and has three sisters Ethel. Violet and Florence, naming them in the or der of their ages. Ethel was for some years ihe California champion and had to yield to her younger sister Violet. Violet was at' last defeated by Flor ence, and her honors were wrested from her by May, who proved thc greatest player of all. Miss Sutton won the national championship from Miss Moore at Philadelphia last, summer by t) 1. 0 "J, and this siimmer took the world's championship away from the women of England. MISS MAY SUTTON. t ' : si. -v , - & --4 JCSTll E IIHI W ER. Justice Iavid J. Brewer of the United States supreme court, who thinks It would be a good plan to sell the Philippine Islands to Japan, is a firm opponent of anything resembling a colonial policy, so far as the Ameri can republic is concerned. He says this government was founded as a pro test against a colonial system and urgues that it is inconsistent for the Americans to establish colonies of their own when they owe their liberties to a successful ef fort to throw off a foreign yoke. If the Ph i 1 i p pi n es could be diposcd of to Japan, he be lieves It would be the simplest way out of a perplexing situation. Justice Brewer is possessed of no lit tle courage "ill presence of mind. He is net a mm of ivlghty physique, but he knows how to handle a gun. Si.Mie years ag.. when :e was on a tour through the Bo. l.y mountains, ae-cuiniianii-d by l.-'dles. the p.irty became separated. One of the n.en in the party scared i;; a bii: black bear, which was oiUfi.-d suMielcnlly to make it very savage. Bruin started toward where Jest ice Brewer and two ladies were, and he was traveling like n bear that meant ln.siness. The Wom en were much alarmed, but Justice Brewer kept perfectly cool. He hur ried the ladies behind same trees for refuge and himself went out boldly to meet the bear. Proppim on one knee as the bear came within a few fe.--t of Mm. he took 1 liberate aim and fired. The bear fell dead in his tracks. Ii-tri-t Attorney Johi ('. Bell of Philadelphia has recently Ix-en leading the strenuous life.

He :ti! ge. that Mr. Bell did not afford hini suriieient eo ojera tlon in ihe pursuit of corruptionits and was advised by his special council, Elihu Boot, now s-eeretary of state, to give Bell opport unity to do the work desired and then if the district at torney did not respond with adequate vigor to go ahead without him. Atxuif this time Mr. Bell met with a serious accident. He In the elevator of an otlice building w hen the car took a sudden drop from tie seventh thrf.r to the bottom of the shaft.

John Hyde, who recently resigned as statistician of the United States de partment of agriculture, has male a life study of statistical and economic questions. He was lrn at Staly bridge, Lancashire, England, in 14S and etlucated at Stamford academy, Ashton-undor-Lyne, and Owens col lege, now Victoria university, Manches ter. He began business life in an Eng lish country bank and devoted time that remained after the performance of his routing duties to study and writ ing on statistical subjects. He extend ed his investigations Into t'amida ami the United States, and this led him to re move to America. In his investigations he visited every part of the Domin ion of 'auada and every state and ter ritory of th" Union. I-'or six years lie was ditor of the National Geograph ic Magazine, and he is a member of numerous learned societies. He was appointed statisti cian of the agricultural department in 1s".iT. In speaking of his resignation Mr. Hyde said in a letter to the secre tary of agri.-ultir.e, Mr. Wilson: "My administration of the oihce I have the honor to hold has been con stantly under fire from one side of tho market or the other. Five times it has been investigated, and on every occa sion I have been vindicated. In Janu ary. 10O.T., I was awarded .-VJ.rioo dam ages in a libel suit against a prominent linn of cotton brokers by a jury of their own friends and fellow citizens. These results have been very- gratify ing to me, but I have the highest med ical authority for the statement that the continued fight upon me lias al ready considerably shortened my life. If any of my friends think that I ought not to retire under tiro I would have them remember that there is never R time when I am not under fire." JOHN I1YI)E. IIKAII AI'MII-AI. C, r. (.oonnicit. Roar Admiral Casper F. Goodrich, who Is investigating the boiler explo slon oil the gunboat Bcnningion. which Ciist so many lives, commands ihe Pa cific squadron of Uncle Sam's navy. A native of Pennsylvania, he entered the Naval academy from Connecticut In ls01. He was wonderfully proficient In his studies and left the academy in 1 SG t at the head of his class.. By lSii!) he had reached the grade of lieutenant commander, and in ISM he was made commander. He was promoted to thecap taincy in lS'.KS. In he accompa nied Sir Garnet Wolsoley on bis Su dan campaign as naval aid and was In ihe famous en gagement at Tel-el- Kebir. He has made a specialty of torpedo and fortification work and in that connection has served on impor tant boards. When the war with Spain began he was first assigned lo the com mand of the auxiliary cruiser St. Louis and later was transferred to the com mand of the cruiser Newark. In lsstj Richard Suydam Palmer, a yachtsman who had served ,as ensign on the St. Louis under Coodrich, her captain, died as a result of the hard ships oi the war and left Goodrich $10, ihio 'as :in expression of regard for his character and as an affectionate recog nition of the many acts of kindness for which I will be always grateful.'' Frank Rockefeller, brother of the founder of the Standard Oil company, has not so much money as his much discussed relative, but is said to be the possessor of many millions. He has been brought into the public eve by Miss Ida Tarliell's article in Mef'lure's Magazine describing the transaction by which John 1). Rockefeller obtained the Standard Oil stock of Frank's part ner in a mining venture, a man rained 'orrigin. According to Miss Tarbell, Frank did not like his brother's busl ns methods In this transaction and protested against tlrem. Mr. Rockefeller is the possessor of largo cattle ranches In Kansas and Tex as, lie and his family sjK-nd much time on the Kansas ranch, which con tains over H.m acres and ! located In Kiowa comity. It is five miles from tbe Santa Pe railway station to Ihe spacious mansion In the center of the estate, and visitors sometimes find the owner of many millions currying some of hia fine cattle or doing other chores about the ranch. Though Mr. Rockefeller has traveled the world over and lias money to gratify every wish, he declares that he never enjoys himself half so much as when he Is leading a simple, homely life on his big farm. "Ever since I can remem ber." he once said, "I have wished for a ranch where I ndfbt raise blooded cattle. As Iocs as I can remember I have loen a lover of i;U animal nature. At ten I commenced t breed guinea plg-i. I once took a prize at a county falr with a fine lighting rooster.

T lias been sjii.l lli.it ihe men who I ilie.l on Ihe I i : . i 1 1 u r oil lit Sail ou the Itt'uniugton 11 liegj recently when her boilers exploded died as truly in the service of their country as if tlnv had met death when shells were bursting In air during a tight with aa enemy. As a matter of fact, in recent years disasters in lime of i cace have been more fatal to oilicers and enlisted men In the navy than battles in tone of war. Admiral lewey won the great battle of Manila Bay without u single in a li in his whole fleet being killed, and Admiral t'ervera's lleet was destroyed at Sauting) with a loss of but one man on tin American side. The total losses of the American navy during the whole Spanish war were but six teen killed and sixty-eight wounded. The record of fatalities from disas ters of one hind or another during tho past decade has been iiuiili more ap palling. The most distressing of thesf calamities, of course, was the destruc tion of the battleship Maine in tho harbor of Havana on the night of Feb. 13. lv. ts. it caused th. death of 2..7 American sailors and hastened the out break of the war with Spain. The board of Inquiry rendered a decision that the blowing up of the Maine was due to contact with an exterior mine, but whether the :Tair was accidental or Intentional was never clearly shown. In number of casualties the Ben nington disaster ranks next to that of the Maine. No other accident has oc curred w ithin the decade approaching either of these catastrophes in loss ef life. But there have been quite a num ber resulting in a small list of dead and injured. On Teh. BM2. a gun burst on board the Kearsarge when It was in West Indian waters, killing five men. This vessel is a namesake ;'i; ? . : - . :. .. i-t ' : j '' ;f rf. J f .'.r.. . jf coMMANDnt i,t"cii:.N varxn. of tho gallant ship that made a record during tin civil war. It was launched at Newport News in iv.is and soon got into trouble with the Newport authori ties by the accidental discharge of a shell from a gun in the lighting top. It went hurtling over the peaceful summer resul t city, clipped off the top of a big tree and ended its career by taking a section of stone out of the Newport city hall. Fortunately no body was hit by the stray shot. Two serious accidents have befallen the Miisachusetts. Jan. Id. 1!hi;. when the sliip vois off Culebra island, the discharge of a percussion priini while the gun breech was still open caused the death of six men. I ec. l.". I'.ioi when the same warship was at League Island navy yard, a gasket blew off a boiler and tilled the tire room with feteam, killing three men. The accident to the Missouri In April of last year was one of the worst In the list. 'Hie vessel was off Pensaeola when o"i pounds of powder in the after lurru ignited. Five olllcers who were in tin? turret and twenty-four en listed men were killed. Flooding of other magazine rooms near the after turret prevented further explosions, one of the officers killed in this acci dent was Lieutenant John P. V. Grid ley, son of Captain fharh-s V. Gridley, who c :nmaiided the Oiympia in the haul, ef Manila Bay. The battleship Iowa has met with two accidents, off lYiisacola In April. i:m.'!. a gun burst, killing thr-e and in juring five.
