GIRLHOOD IN BYGONE DATS.

Most People.

'It is related of the girlhood of Queen Elizabeth,"
she fays, "that when her brother. Prince Edward.
»••-.• out to exercise in the open air, she took up
her lute or viol, or solaced herself with needle
work. Girls were not expected to take exercise
la the sixteenth century. Royal girls, as well as
other*, were occuplped In acquiring mere accom
pllshaients. The young Princess Elisabeth was a
cliEJiesl student and fond of literature, but her
tastes were regarded as unusual for a girl, and it
Is certain that the was vain of her superior at
te!mnent«. Slary Queen of Scots rebelled at having
ton little exercise, and played golf in the fields of
Seton, srsd her tastes were considered unseemly
BBd ■sn<sigTiifted.
•"Charming Dorothy ■-borne, in her letters to Sir
Vlllisin Temple, gives a sketch of her life at Chick
sarios, her father's country house, which serves
to show the du'.ners and lack of occupation a girl
was eubjected to in the seventeenth century. 'You

IN NEED OF CHEER.
A particularly sad case has been reported to the
T. 8. S. by a branch president, where the need of
sunshine is urgent and Immediate. The mother Is
a widow, and Is able to earn only a trifle compared
with her needs, because her invalid daughter re
quires so much attention. There are days when
the food has been barely enough to keep them from
starvation. Some Bunshine members have s»nt
groceries an<l clothing, but the rent for this month
must be paid, and the emergency fund of the
T. S. S. is entirely exhausted, because of the fre
3uent demands made upon it for temporary help
urlng the past weeks. The worthiness as well as
tne great need of these unfortunate people is
vouched for by one of the prominent members of
the. T. S. S., who has investigated the case.
WANTS.
Mra Ali-e Morris, at the State Hospital. Middle
town. Conn . will be. glad to receive odd skeins of
wools that she can utilize for Sunshine gifts, to
"pass on" among the inmates of the hospital, also
books and magazines. Mrs. Morris adds:
ThrouKh the column of the T. S. S. I wish to
thank those- who so kindly remembered rr"» at
Easter time. I needed the cheer in those lonely
shut-in days, and blessed are those who <\r> not
forget the suffering ones.

The case will be tried almost solely by depositions.

Mr?. Park Jives In Lucerne. Switzerland. They were
married in Brooklyn, where they formerly lived, and
have a son about eleven years old. They were both
residents of South Africa beginning in ISM. but
Park, alleging that he had never given up his
American citizenship, brought his suit here on the
ground that he was married here, Mrs. Park re
plied with a suit in South Africa, also for absolute
divorce. The South African courts awarded her

LAWYER'S WIDOW SUED.
Attorney's Stenographer Demands
-$460, Alleged Loan.
Dorothy Kleimeyer. who was for several years
a stenographer in th* office of Colonel Thomas
C. Campbell, who practised law here many years
after leaving Ohio, where h« had been a criminal
lawyer, is the plaintiff in an notion against Mrs.
Emma J. Campbell, the widow and executrix of
Colonel Campbell, to recover 1469 from his estate.
She says she advancer! 8*» to Colon*! Campbell,
and asks the other 150 for services, rendered to the
widow. The suit was tried before Justice Amend
and a Jury in the Supreme Court yesterday.
Mls« Kleimeyer took the testimony given in the
trial in shorthand. She testified that she had
been Colonel Campbell's managing clerk, as weji as
his stenographer. She said she had advanced him
altogether over 12,000, and bad a claim against
real estate left by him in Kentucky and Ohio for

Republican leaders there.
Mrs. Kleimeyer said she obtained $3,000 insur
ance at her husband's death. It was out of this,
she said, her daughter advanced the $2,000 to
Colonel Campbell.
Mrs. Campbell testified that her husband owed
the plaintiff nothing so far us she knew. She said
Miss Kleimeyer had bean the cause of much
trouble bet Been her and her husband. Colonel
Campbell, she said, died on January 6, 1804, from

yacht, and that she could not come with us. "

DR. PORTER TO INSPECT.
Will Decide Whether Middletown
Fishermen May Use Reservoirs.
Middletcwn. X V.. May 10 (Special) — Eu
gene H. Porter, State Commissioner of Health, will
be in Middletown Friday and Saturday. May 11
and 12, on a rpecial mission which is arousing un
usual interest.
Middletown has been agitated for the last three
years by discussion whether or not fishing and
boating should be permitted in the three reser
voirs which supply the city with water. The lakes
were acquired by the city years ago. at a cost of
ajsout $700,000. and furnish water unsurpassed for
purity anywhere in the state.
Fishint? ha? hitherto been prohibited by rules
and regulations 'cjincted by the State Commissioner
of Health. But Middletown fishermen want the
privilege ef fishing there., and are making an
earnest effort to obtain the privilege. Commis
sioner Porter will inspect the lakes en Friday and
give a public hearing on Saturday.
Daniel Lewis. ex-State Commissioner, waa ap
pealed to in the same way a little more than a
year ago, and after inspection and hearing, de
clined to sanction the fishing and boating request.
There is widespread interest in knowing the view
Dr. Porter will take of the ease.

taxes, while no one even knew that the city
owned the land. In Freeport. Mr. Brown said,
where the Water Department has some land. It
is assessed by the village at fI.OOO an acre, while

Paris Underwear '
Every Piece Hand-made
At the Prices You Would Pay for, Domestic Goods
This May Sale of Paris Lingerie has been a pronounced success. Nat
urally, women universally love these dainty garments, and they have imme
diately appreciated the opportunity to secure them at these unusually low
prices. Instead of being an extravagance, ii n abundantly proven that French
hand-made underwear is the most economical that can be bought. The ma
terials, though sheer and dainty, are of most serviceable sorts, in good qual
ities. All the seams are sewed by hand, the laces are sewed by hand, the em
broidering is done by hand, which moans that the garments' will launder and
wear far better than domestic sorts at the ante prices. There is wonderfully
broad variety to select from.

SAN FKANCISCO SAFES INTACT.
Majority Stood Fire Test — Cigar in Furnace
Heat TJntart
Losses of private papers and valuables to the
business houses and citizens of San Francisco
will, according to recent advices from the au
thorities of the stricken city, prove much less
severe than has previously been expected. Word,
was received to-day from Colonel J- G. Giesting.
Cltjr Custodian of Vaults in San Francisco, that
the vaults and safes which he has thus far been
able to examine have stood the test of fir* and
fall remarkably well.
"The bank vaultE in this city, with one or two
exceptions, have come out admirably." he de
clared in a letter to C. U. Carpenter, president of
the Horring-Hall-Marvln Safe Company. "Every
day merchants and householders are coming to
me and reporting that they are finding books,
papers and valuables intact within the walls of
their safes. Only yesterday a man showed m« a
cigar, perfectly preserved even to the wrapper,
taken from his safe, which h*d plunged down
five stories in the fire. It Is an exception when
contents of safes are discovered in hopeless ruin,
and in such cases we find the fault to have been
improper construction."
The recent report that 00 per cent of the safes
in the city have been destroyed is vjuestloned by
Mr. Carpenter, who. in addition to official ad
vices, has been conducting a searching private
investigation.

were sharply outlined against the dark green
foliage, of the Palisades. Little white steam
launches darted in and out from the ships to the
landings at (Hith. 70th and 81st streets.
At the head of the line the gunboat Dolphin
