THE GOLDEN WIDOW.
i
MRS. GEORGE HEARST LEADS A
LUXURIOUS, YET USEFUL LIFE.
With the Knonnoun Wealth Heft Her by
the Famous Californian Argonaut She
Performs Heeds of Unostentatious Charity
—Her Magnificent Washington Home.
It is sometimes possible for a wo
man to own an estate of one million
and a half and still retain a treat sim
plicity of manner. It sorely is tko
case with Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, of I
Washington, wife of the late Senator 1
from California. Her home in the
capital city may be called one of the
most magnificent establishments in
the country. The same tinge of
quaintness surrounding Mrs. Hearst’s
personality, notwithstanding her style
in dress and the idea that she is a
thorough woman of the world, is found
in the decoration of her Washington
home. It is Louis XV. everywhere. !
This is one of the rooms of tho
famous suite wherein was held the
Louis XIV. ball, which has tec me
one of the historical social function?, i
All the rooms were garlanded with
American beauties, caught by lore s'
knots of broad white satin rib'ons. j
It was a scene of loveliness never since:
duplicated in Washington.
There are no daughters to enjoy all
the luxuries of the Hearst mansion, but ■
two charming young nieces make the'rj
home constantly with her. Her only |
son is W. R. Hearst, owner of the New
York Journal. During the winter
only is the Hearst mansion in > se.
During the summer the owner enjoy 3
all the beauties of her ranch, the Ha
cieeda del Pazo de Verona, situateJ
about forty miles from San Francisco.
It is said in Washington that Mrs.
Hearst does more for charity than
any other woman, and so quietly that
it Is difficult to find just where her
interests lie. Two kindergartens foi
homeless children form one of her
special fads. Then there is a home
where twenty-five boys ate cared for
pnd educated. In the summer
these children go on a farm in Vir
ginia leased by Mrs. Heaist and learn
all sorts of useful things.
MRS. niOEIIE IIKARST.
The International Corgress cl
Mothers is a field of work in which
Mrs. Hearst is greatly interested, ard
she has been one of its main suppor.-
ers since its organization, paying ad
expenses of the meeting in Wash
ington this year.
But, aside from ail her philan hro
pies, Mrs. Hearst is a most popular so
ciety woman, entertaining with 1 v
ish elegance and dressing exquisitely
A famously gorgeous gown, which is
only worn at very prominent social af
fairs, is of heavy white satin. A broad
design in butterfly and leaf pattern it
done in pearls of various sizes, the
pattern finishing in single designs a;
it reaches the waist line. The full
demitrain is edged with pearls, a
buckle of the same jewels faster.irg
the soft belt in front. Broad, fluff,
lace forms the shoulders and sleeves
■which are caught by pearl stars. . r
exquisite pin of diamonds and pe r!‘
forms the corsage clasp, with thret
rows of tear drops, perfect in size anc
coloring, for the throat. A graceful
little tiara completes this charming
costume, which might legitimately b<
the envy of all the feminine world.
Mrs. Hearst is tali and graceful ii
figure, with a sweet winsome manne
that draws friends and strangers al ki
to her. Her private car, which is fit
ted up in ldyal style, entertains man;
a congenial party, which travels hen
and there to places of interest for <
few days’ jaunt.
Hatlis of Flowers.
Nothing is more efficacious fo
strengthening the muscles of the neck
shoulders and arms than a bath o
flowers, which is taken warm and fol
lowed by a cold shower and vigorou
rubbing. Rose leaves, crushed vie
lets, hay flowers, oat straw and pin.
sprigs, all form foundations for thi
latest whim of pretty women.
These baths are all prepared in tin
same way. The flowers chosen shoOli
be put in a bag and boiling wate
poured over, the bag and wate;
boiling for ten minutes. The boilin;
water is then cooled and added to thi
prepared bath. Hay flowers are reall;
the remains of stalks, leaves blossom;
and seeds, even the hay itself. An oa
straw bath is made by boiling thi
stalks and heads of oats for half a:
hour in a kettle and then pouring thi
decoction into the bath tub.
For the pine sprig bath gather fresl
twigs, small branches and small cones
cut into bits, put in a bag and boi
half an hour. The chief effect of thi;
bath on the skin is to bring it inti
aotivity, and renovate it at once. Be
sides, its fragrance makes it delight
ful.
How Fashion* Are Horn.
The curious way in which the mos
serious catastrophes are reflected ii
the world of frivolity sets one to won
dering whether anything is really se
rious or really frivolous. The shock
ing holocaust of the charity bazaar ii
Paris is having a perceptible influenc>
on fashion there, not by making i
less thought of, but by starting anew i
vogue of black and white. Person;
who have lost no relative or intimati
friend by the accident, nevertheles
adopt this fashion; young men wear
ing black gloves and young womei
black and white f-"red gowns.
Honesty and Virtue.
There is more honesty and virtue
contaiued in a bottle of Salvation Oil,
than in any other liuiineut known.
“Mrs. A. Fiedler, 2804 l’alcthorp St.,
Philadelphia, Pa., confirms this truth:
She found Salvation Oil to he au ex
cellent remedy for rheumatism, still'
joints, bruises, etc., and thinks it
should always he kept in the house.”

in favor of a substitute. Insist on get

j HOW TO NURSE. Sij ■ |
A New Way to Give Fresh Air to a Bed-Fast
Patient.
“As all the world knows, there is
no more perfect means of ventilation
than an open fire,” writes Mrs. Bur
ton Kingsland, telling how to nurse
the sick. “It is continuous and at
tended with no danger of draught. A
more equable temperature is obtained
with wood than with coal, and the
thermometer should be frequently
consulted in a sick room. As fresh
I air is the best tonic, it is said that a
window may be opened at the top on
a sunr.y day, no matter how ill the
patient may be, if in the opening a
wooden frame covered with flannel Is
fitted. The air strained through the
woolen material is deprived of all
power to harm. An umbrella covered
with a shawl makes a good screen
when the windows are open, the pa
(tient being sheltered under it as if in
' a tent. A folding clothes-horse may
also be utilized as a screen frame. As
a person lying on his back is deprived
( of the protection of his eyelids from
the light, the blinds and curtains
should be adjusted with regard to that
| fact. A room a little shaded is more
restful to a person in illness, but if a
. patch of sunshine can be let in some
! where in the room it makes a cheery
spot for him to tuin to if so minded.
I The Italian proverb says, ‘Where the j
sun dees not enter the doctor does.’ *
A Flower Stand.
One of the prettiest stands possible
for plants is a h. mmered brass Span
ish table containing braziers for char
coal intended for heating a room. The
deep braziers are inserted in the cen
ter of each shelf, which is coreved
with hammered sheet brass held down
on the sides with ornamental nails.
The two lower braziers are filled with
earth and planted with ferns, while
the upper one serves as a saucer for a
larger brass bowl, which is filled with
a huge palm. The stand is octagonal,
and is supported at each corner by
turned logs of old oak.

A Tost for Chocolate.
A test of good chocolate is that it
does not thicken in the cooking as the
inferior sorts do becauseof adulteration
with flour. A formula for chocolate
to be served at any function, and
which may be made several hours be
forehand, is given by a cooking teach
er. Wet one pound cocoa powder in
a little cold milk and stir into two
quarts of milk brought to the boiling
point. Let it boil ten minutes, then
add three tablespoonfuls of sugar and
one pint of cream. Stir well v.h le
boiling. Turn into a double boiler and
keep water in the lower boiler at al
most a boiling point for half an hour.
Beat eggs light, add, and remove at
once from the fire. When cool add
three teaspoonfuls of vanilla extract.
Serve by putting about a dessert
spoonful into each cup, filling up wth
boiling water. The finest flavor is ex
tracted from cocoa by cooking it thor
oughly.
Hygienic Value of Onions.
The wonderful faculty which onions
possess of absorbing dise-.se germs
ought to be written in letters of gold
before the eyes of every householder,
says a French cook, who confesses a
liking—vulgar as it is considered—for
both onions and garlic. Merely hang
ing in a net, onions will purify an
apartment. Especially in cases of
small-pox and diphtheria they have
ereat. power. A dish cf raw or.icns
sliced and set in the sick room will
draw away the disease. As their odor
gives out they should be replaced by
fresh ones. For its great medicinal
and useful properties the onion mer
its more particular study.
Vnlunble to Women.
Especially valuable to women is Browns’
Iron Hitlers. Backache vanishes, headache
disappears, strength takes the place of
weakness, and the glow of health readily
conies to the pallid cheek when this won
derful remedy is taken. For sickly children
or overworked men it lias no equal. No home
1 lioitlil be without tin's famous remedy.

BIGGEST PASSE XGER ENGINE !
It Is Twice as Strong as the Fa
mous “90©.”
I
The Strongest Locomotive Elver Con-
Ntrncted-Foold PnM Thirty-Three
rnllinann Sixty Allies nn Ho nr—
To Resin Running This Fall.
The three biggest and strongest, pas
senger locomotives in the whole world
will be placed in service this fall by the
Southern railway. Some idea of their '
strength may be gathered from the fact. *
that each is fully twice as strong as the
celebrated “999,” which belongs to the
New York Central railway and hauls
the Empire state express, nearly three
times as strong as the engine which
hauls the Flying Scotchman from Lon
don to Edinburgh, and more than three
times as strong as the engine which
brings the mails from London to Holy
head. To put the matter in another way,
one of these engines could haul as much
as ten ordinary elevated railway en
gines. or four of the average passenger
locomotives used in this coutnry.
Coupled with their extraordinary '
strength these engines have a remark-
j "" ~
THE BIGGEST AND STRONGEST LOCOMOTIVE EVER CONSTRUCTED. IT
ISI FULLY TWICE AS POWERFUL AS THE CELEBRATED "9U9. “ IT WILL
BE PUT IN SERVICE THIS FALL.
able capacity for high speed. One of
them could pull at the rate of 60 miles
an hour on a piece of level straight
track no less than 33 Pullman cars
weighing 40 tons each. Such a train
would be more than two-fifths of a mile
long.
The six-coupled driving wheels of
these engines are each six feet in diam
eter, and the working steam pressure is
200 pounds to the square inch. The cyl
inders are of the ordinary simple type,
each 21 inches in diameter with a piston
stroke of 28 inches. This gives a trac
tive force, or draw-bar pull, of 27,460
pounds, sufficient to haul a train load
of 4,279 tons, equal to about 85 of the
largest loaded freight cars, at slow
speed on a level track. No locomotives
now running have so large combined
cylinder area and steam pressure as
these new Goliaths.
You may make the moving parts of a
locomotive as powerful as you please,
but unless there is a fire box and a boiler
big enough to match the running gear
your engine will soon be short of steam,
with a probable slow-dowm between sta
tions. This catastrophe is not likely to
happen to one of these engines—as long
as the coal holds out—for the fire box
is ten feet long and 3% feet wide, with a
total heating surface of 194 square feet,
while the boiler is five feet two inches in
diameter, with tubes which give a heal
ing surface of no less than 2,293 square
feet. Soft coal, of which about eight
tons will be put on the tender at start
ing, will be the fuel.
An engine may also have great power
and yet be unable to utilize it, owing to
insufficient weight on the driving
wheels. The 'total weight of one of
these locomotives will be 75 tons, of
which 58 tons will rest on the six driv
ing wheels, the remaining 17 tons being
carried by the four-wheel truck in
front. Reckoning the bite or grip on the
rail at one-fourth the weight on the
drivers we get an adhesion of 14% tons,
or 29,000 pounds, which is 1,540 pounds
more than the tractive force of the en
gine, thus leavinga good margin for wet
weather and slippery rails. The weight
of 19 1-3 tons on each pair of drivers is
also unparalleled in the history of rail
roads. To carry this weight with safety
and without heating, the journals of
each axel are 8% inches in diameter by
11 inches in length. Fancy locomotive
journals two feet and 1% inches in cir
cumference!
The tenders attached to these en
gines will be worthy of them. Each will
carry 4,500 gallons of water, and when
loaded to its full capacity will weigh
41*4 tons. This will bring up the total
weight of engine and tender to 117%
tons.
The object of having such powerful
engines is not so much to make speed
on the level as to maintain it on the
grades. The maximum grades, of which
there are several from two to four miles
long, vary from 70 to 82 feet to the mile
(roughly speaking from 1% to 1 % per
cent.) and the curves on these from
three to six degrees.

Automatic Voting Machine.
A. E. Collins, city engineer of Nor
wich, England, has patented a novel
voting machine. A row of boxes, each
bearing the name of a candidate, is
supported on a frame. The voter
thrusts the ballot, which is of card
board, into a slot in one of the boxes,
without marking or folding. After a
few seconds it falls into a glass box
into which all the boxes discharge.
The official on the other side is unable
to tell by which route it entered or
how the man voted. Within the slot
in each ballot box, type and an inked
roller print a number on the back of
each ballot. Thus a party's vote is
counted as it is east. The situation be
comes more complicated when a large
number of offices are to be filled.

GOING TO SOUTH AMERICA.
Italians Will Soon Outnumber the
Spaniards There.
lx This the Race of the Future?—Re
verses In Africa More Than Made
Good on This Continent—finali
ties That Insure Success.
[Copyright. 1897.1
“Greater Britain” is in North Ameri
ca. South America is in away to be
come Greater Italy.
We have seen in the United States
something of Italian immigration. For
a lime the tide set strongly iu this di
rection. Then it turned, partly because
of the wide comment made upon the
Mafla troublesin New Orleans.but more
because of the reports of hard times
here which went home to Italy. In 1893
only 37,851 people—accord Ing to Italian
figures—came here, while something
like 150,000 went to South America.
The best of the immigrants went
south and are still going in ti.at direc
tion. Of the Sicilians, Calabrians,
Abruzzians and Campanians whom we
get, only about 20 per cent, can so much
as sign their marriage contracts. Of
the Tuscans Piedmontese. Emilians,
I Genoese, Lombards and Venetians whc
go to South America in. droves five times
as numerous, probably 65 percent, can
sign theiit names.
The better people go sout'h for sev
eral reasons. The cost of passage is
much greater, thus turning in our di
rection adventurers with little means.
Thrifty people go toSouth America and
take their families with them, instead
of coming here and making frequent
visits home. Some of the South Ameri
can states give immigrants free land
and even temporary aid in building
■houses and 1 securing cattle and tools.
The Italians are splendid farmers at
home. If they get free land in a new
country where taxes are light they
thrive accordingly.
There is another reason for the Ital
ian preference for South America.
Immigrants meet there on fairly even
terms the Spanish races, whose lan
guage and ways .me more like their
own. They harmonize at once. They
do not get on so well with the Portu
guese element in Brazil, but it is
thought that the troubles there are
nearly over. The Italian and Brazilian
governments are patching up their
causes of quarrel, and it is likely that
the former power will soon be able to
guard the interests of emigrants as
carefully in Brazil as in Argentina—
as carefully as Commendatore Rossi's
bureau guards over them at Ellis
island.
Because the Italians have gone to
Argentina so freely Buenos Ayres is
now the metropolis of South America,
and Rio is a back number.
Buenos Ayres has 1,000,000 inhab
itants, of whom 500,000, it is estimated,
are Italian. Throughout Argentina
they are increasing in numbers and
effecting the gradual, bloodless change
of the finest part of the southern con
tinent to an Italo-American strong
hold.
For one thing, pure Spanish blood is
not so plenty in the nations to the
southward as might be supposed. The
language is spoken, but in the popu
lation negro and Indian races are a
very strong element, and the mestijos,
or half-breeds, perhaps strongest of all.
The Spaniards are a proud and master
ful race, but not recently a very prolific
one, and there is not much Spanish
emigration to keep up their proportion
in the south.
That is another reason why half
America may become Italianized.
The Italians leave home in such num
bers, with the tacit approval of their
government, because they are so prolific
that there isn't room for them all at
home, and the government understands
it. They are the same sturdy fellows
that overran the world once, and in the
Middle Ages showed such marvelous
powers.
It is not 30 years since Italy became
a nation, and already it feels con
strained in its narrow limits. It is a
virile stock, like the English. The pop
ulation, no longer kept under by starva
tion, pestilence, misgovernment, little
wars and the vendetta, multiplies fast.
Early marriages and a high regard for
marital virtue cause rapid increase in
population, as they did in Ireland before
the famine. The peasants have large
families. They are grandfathers and
grandmothers at 40. And wherever
they go, they retain these qualities.
Where an unprolific and a prolific
people dwell side by side there can be
but one result.
The Mediterranean was "a French
lake” in Napoleon's day. French firms
still own superior transportation lines,
because France has abundant capital;
but the men who man the ships are
usually Italians, the Genoese traffic is
growing rapidly and Italian residents I
are numerous in all the regions on the
Mediterranean shore.
French colonies are an absurdity. A I
rich race which has ceased to multiply
has plenty of room at home if the soil '
be fertile and the climate good. And
there is no fairer land than France.
Italian emigration la an insistent
necessity urged by overpopulation
The government understands this. Its
disastrous attempts to conquer prov
inces in Africa have been due to a de
sire to retain control of the people who I
must leave home.
The Erythrean colonies have turned |
out ns ill as the American emigrants j
have done well. This Is not the first
case to prove that free emigration is a
better specific than forced colonization
Italian emigrants go to South Aroer |
ica, get land for nothing and prosper: |
Italian soldiers and colonists try to take
land in Africa from the rightful owners
and make a botch of the job.
But the. Italians cannot all stay at
home. With better times they will sure
; ly turn their faces in greater numbers
toward the United States. And they
will keep on peopling South America.
At present there is apparently m
civilized race multiplying in numbei
quite so fast as the swarthy subjects o'
King Humbert and their kin over seas
The French race, closest competitor
of the Italian, has not nearly doublet:
in a century, and is now about sta
tionary.
Are the Italians the coming race?
TRADING IN WAR SPOILS.
llow Clever Ynnkcca Profit by tlie
Wreck of Cnlmn Industry.
[Copyright, 1897.]
Other nations’ extremity is usually
Uncle Sam's opportunity. With his
customary cuteness and foresight he
has availed himself of the distracted
state of Cuba to make.money in a rather
odd way. When the war in Cuba had
been raging for some time and the in
dustries of the unhappy island were at
a standstill it occurred to the astute
manager of the Nassau smelting works
that there was money to be made by
purchasing the wrecked machinery that
lay rusting in the fields and factories
of Cuba while the engineers and plant
ers to whom the plants belonged were
fighting for freedom against the Span
ish soldiers. The idea was acted upon
at once. Six months ago there left for
Cuba an expedition which consisted of
.75 men, whose only weapon was an
unlimited credit upon which to draw
for the purpose of buying up the en
tire machinery of the island at the
cheapest prices for cash.
The Spanish authorities at first looked
upon the expedition with suspicion, and
at one time it seemed as though the en
tire contincent of peaceful traders
would be arrested and thrown into
Morro castle as filibusterers in disguise.
They succeeded, however, in demon
strating their peaceful intentions, and
forthwith proceeded to scatter over the
island, looking for the owners of the
engines, boilers, plows, tobacco rais
ing plants, and sugar plantation imple
ments that the Cubans had left to the
care of anyone who happened to take
a fancy to them. The work of buying
up these abandoned relics of Cuban in
dustry proved easier than was antici
pated. Where owners could be found
they were only too willing to sell the
machinery for any sum that the pur
chasers offered. Where no owneroould
be discovered, for the reason that Span
ish bullets had left the property owner
less, the Spanish officials were only too
glad to proclaim themselves the right
ful possessors of the property and allow
the agents of the smelting works to
carry off the rusting machinery at their
own price.
As fast as it could be bought up the
machinery was shipped to New York,
chiefly as old metal, and to-day in the
shops and yards of the smelting works
can be seen the remnants of what was
once, in the piping times of peace, the
plant with which the industries of Cuba
brought wealth to the coffers of the
planters and manufacturers. It is a
curious-looking sight to see the wreck
of Cuban industries in the yards of a
New York smelting firm. There is iron
in every stage of demoralization and
rustiness; fly wheels broken and bent;
plows that look as though the shells
of the Spaniards or the. dynamite guns
of the Cubans had got up a flirtation
with them; boilers through whose bat
tered sides daylight peeps inquisitively;
engines that once buzzed and hummed
in prosperous factories, but which are
now lit only for the metal pots; piston
rods without connecting wheels and
wheels without connecting rods; farm
implements that have fairly lost their
identity, and nameless remnants of en
gines in the last stages of collapse. If
there is any vesige left in Cuba of its
former industries, it is certainly not the
lault of the 75 men who are engaged in
buying up as old metal the machinery
of the war-torn island.
“We have no competitors in the busi
ness of buying up Cuban machinery,’ 1
said the manager after he had exhibit
ed the melancholy-looking collection.
“Our men have scoured the island and
have sent on ship loads of the stuff.
Most of it is fit only to be melted down
and used again as crude metal, but some
of the copper machinery, of which the
Cubans possessed a good deal, we. have
been able to furbish up and sell in its
original shape at second-hand prices.
Our men will pursue their search until
the last pound of Cuban machinery ha.-
found its way into our yards. When
the war is ended, if it ever does end.
the Cubans will have to begin all over
again and buy entirely new plants
throughout the length and breadth of
the laud before the wheels of industry
will be able to hum once more. Then
Uucle Sam will score again, for the new
machinery will probably be bought
from us. It will be a grim joke if the
Cubans, when the white winged dove
of peace returns once more, should
purchase machinery made from the
very material that our men are now en
gaged in collecting. But nil’s fair in
love and war, and this is certainly
war.”
THE DREADED CONSUMPTION.

AND ALL LUNG TROUBLES.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan
thropic or carry more joy to the afflidled,
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. C., of
183 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an ab
! solute cure for consumption and all pul
monary complaints, and to make itsgreat
merits known, he will send, free, three
j bottles of medicine, to any reader of The
I Midland Journal who is suffering from
j chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this “new scientific course of
medicine” has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty—a duty which he owes to humanity
—to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more so is tile perfect confidence of j
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption j
to be a 1 urable disease beyond any doub'.
There will be no mistake in sending—
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in his
American and European laboratories tes
! timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.

sons why you should be a reader of The Pinr,.vni.i‘iiiA

respondents of The Press are stationed at every county seat and important

No other Philadelphia paper equals The Press in its
special departments—the woman’s page; the literary page;
the market page; the pages devoted to clinrch news, school
news, society news, G. A. It. news, sporting news, etc.
The Press is an advocate of the principles of the
Republican party, but it prints the news of all political
events more fully than any other paper; hence The Press

opinions are, if you wish to be well informed. In a word,
The Philadelphia Press prints all the news all the time.
