school.
We are very sorry to know that

49 YEARS IX THE TREASURY.
Miss Emma R. Graves, Eighty-one
Years Old.
Eighty-one years old and rounding
out 50 years as a government employe
in the treasury department is
the record of Miss Emma R. Graves.
Forty-nine years of this service,
which was up April 12 last, was spent
in the redemption division of the
treasury, and despite the fact that
Miss Graves pleaded to be left in
that division for one more year so
as to celebrate her golden anniversary
in one division she was transferred
to the register's office. She
ctiii nppnnipc thp nosition of an expert
counter, counting notes which have
been turned into the government and
which are cut in half before being
destroyed.
Miss Graves was among the first
woman employes of the government,
a number having been placed in service
in 1864 by Frank E. Spinner,
then treasurer of the United States.
When she was called upon in her
work room by a reporter she was
very much opposed to being interviewed.
"Can't you use what I tell you
without using my name? I don't like
to be interviewed," she said.
After much persuasion Miss Graves
finally consented to have her name
used, and, believing he had gained
a point, the reporter then asked for
her photograph. Up flew Miss
Graves's hands.
"Goodness!" she smilingly exclaimed.
"I couldn't think of having
my picture printed. Besides, I b*ve
not had one taken for the last ^0
years."
"I came from Bloomville, N. Y.,
53 years ago, on a visit to relatives,"
said Miss Graves. "It was right at
the beginning of the War Between
the Sections. And I tell you I sawsome
exciting times right here in the
city of Washington. The people
were always w-atching for an invasion
of the city by the Confederate
forces.
"I was persuaded to stay here by
my relatives and take a position in
the treasury department. At that
time the north wing had not been
built. The state, war and navy departments
were located in a small
brick building in the northeast corner
of the ground on which the treasury
is now located.
"7n what i? now the old cash room
in the treasury a large stock of arms
were kept These were for the use
of the clerks in the treasury in case
of an invasion. However, the war
was over when I assumed my position
in the treasury department.
"You know Secretary Chase of the
treasury department was very much
opposed to woman employes in the
government service. Francis E. Spinner,
then treasurer of the United
States, after much persuasion on his
part, finally secured the permission of
Secretary Chase to give the women a
trial as government clerks. It had
practically become a necessity for
the government to employ women.
All of the men and boys had gone to
war, and the work had to be done, so
the only course open seemed to be to
give the women a chance. Mr. Spinner
told Secretary Chase, that if, after
a trial, the women proved satisfactory,
he would employ more. Then,
of course, there wasn't much gold and
silver, and they had to have more of
the fractional currency, and they
used to have to cut the money by
"L ~ ? J H/T ? Cr\irv nAr oIpa rvAl'nt'?i^ Allf
JLJLaUU. IY1JL opiilUUi a low pv/iuvvu vuv
that women were more skillful with
scissors than men, and this was another
argument why they should be
given a chance. The redemption division
was established at that time,
on account of the paper money.
"Finally, after a year's trial, Treasurer
Spinner went to Secretary Chase
and told him how satisfactory the
work of the women had been, and
said that he hadn't lost a cent, and
that was more than he could say for
the men.
"We never forgot Treasurer Spinner.
After his death we felt that we
owed the appointment of women to
him, so the women contributed to a
fund, and a monument costing $10,000
was bought. It is now located in
Myers park, Herkimer, N. Y. We
made several attempts to get permission
to place the monument on the
front steps of the treasury, but the
officials refused, on the ground that
it would furnish a precedent.
"The appointment of women to the
government service at that time, in
my opinion, opened may fields for
them, declared Miss Graves. "Before
that time they had never
thought of leaving home, and all they
did was to get ready to marry."
Miss Graves is yet active, despite
her SI years. When the reporter
called upon her she was counting the
half notes and placing them in pack
ages. She gets about just as quickly j
as manv of the younger clerks in the !
i
department. She is the elder of three j
sisters, the only members of her family
now living. The other two sisters,
Mrs. Elizabeth G. Menet of Kansas
City and Mass Alemia B. Graves
of Bloomville, N. Y., are living in
MASKED MEN ROB FAST TRAIN.
The "Diamond Special" on Illinois
Central Held Up.
Springfield, 111., June 18.?Two
masked men, who, early to-day, robbed
the express car on the "Diamond
Special," the Illinois Central's fast
train between St. Louis and Chicago,
were sought in this city to-day. After
being interrupted in their work by
police, the bandits forced the engineer
to run past the blue coats and
when they finally forced open the
safe with dynamite they ran the engine
into Springfield and escaped.
The safe, according to the local express
agent, contained not more than
$oUU. in tneir anempi 10 gei uis
sum the robbers threatened the engine
crew with death, overpowered
the express messenger, fired promiscuously
at passengers, disarmed one
detective and exchanged shots with
another. No one was hurt.
The "hold-up" took place ten miles
out of Springfield. A danger signal
brought the train to a stop and the
enginemen were covered by revolvers.;
After firing a fusillade of revolver
shots along the sides of the coaches
to intimidate the passengers, they
compelled the engineer to uncouple
the express car from the train and to
proceed two miles down the track.
Five charges of dynamite were fired
in an ineffectual attempt to open the
safe. Soon after the train was stopped
Conductor McWilliams ran to a
farm house, a mile away, where he
notified the dispatcher in. this city.
A switch engine carried police officers
to the scene and a score more hurried
there in automobiles.
The first detachment of police arrived
while the bandits were attempting
to blow the safe.
TO MAKE EDISTO NAVIGABLE.
Congressman Lever Working for
Orangeburg-Charleston Route.
Washington, June 20.?Represen
tative Lever has arranged to appear
before the board of engineers for
rivers and harbors on July 15 to
argue an appeal from the unfavorable
report of Major Howell on the
Edisto River project. Mr. Lever will J
be re-enforced by a strong delegation
from Orangeburg and neighboring:
towns on the Edisto River.
"The unfavorable report of Major
Howell," says Mr. Lever, "is a dis- j
tinct surprise to me and a keen disappointment,
and while I would not
put my lay opinion against the expert
opinion of Major Howell, I am
still satisfied of the feasibility of
making the Edisto river navigable
for light draft boats at a very reasonable
cost, and that the accomplishment
of such an end would be
of an immense advantage to Orangeburg
and Charleston and intermediate
points along the river."
"I believe I can show from the
report of Major Howell itself that
we have a good proposition which
should receive the support of the
Government and, although disappointed
in failing to win- the initial
fight, I am not discouraged and shall
continue the effort for this river until
there is not another leg for me to
stand upon."
Women's Rights.
A right to tread so softly
Beside the couch of pain;
To smooth with gentle fingers
The tangled locks again;
To watch beside the dying
In wee, small hours of night,
And breathe a consecrating prayer
When the spirit takes its flight.
A right to cheer the weary
On the battlefields of life;'
To give the word of sympathy
Amid the toil and strife;
To lift the burden gently
From sore and tired hearts,
And never weary of the task
Till gloomy care departs.
A right to be a woman
, In truest woman's work?
Tf Ufa oVirmlH Ka a hsrrl rma
XX 1HV CiiVUiU ^ WAAX,,
No duties ever shirk;
A. rigtit to show to others
How strong a woman grows,
When skies are dark and lowering,
And life bears not a rose.
A right to love one truly
And be loved back again;
A right to share his fortunes
Through sunlight and through
rain;
A right to be protected
From life's most cruel blights
By manly love and courage?
Sure these are woman's rights!

IMPERATOR GREATEST SHIP. ]
Nearly Fifth of Mile Long. Speed of
22 Knots, Luxurious Craft.
The S. S. Imperator opens a new
chapter in marine history. The great
liner is not only the largest ship in
the world, but establishes new stand- 1
ards by the completeness of her me- s
chanical equipment, her safety deviccs
and the variety and luxury of her
cabins. The Imperator is the latest s
addition to the fleet of the HamburgAmerican
line, measures 919 feet in ]
length, or almost one-fifth of a mile,
98 feet in width or that of the great 1
boulevard, and has a tonnage of 50,- 2
000. Her powerful quadruple turbine j
engines drive her at an average speed i
of 22 1-2 knots, crossing the Atlantic
in six days. She is manned by a ^
crew of 1,1 SO. ]
C
No hotel on either side of the At- i
lantic offers its guests so great a t
choice of dining rooms, ball rooms, ?
winter gardens, and palm rooms, 3
grill rooms, smoking rooms, gymnas- \
iums, roof gardens, public baths and 3
luxurious lounges, says a New York *
special. The leading decorators of *
Europe have been entrusted with the
decorations of the Imperator's cabins, ~
c
and each is a masterpiece in its individual
style. f
The great size of the Imperator has ;
made it possible to give her some of 4
the most spacious rooms ever enjoyed s
on shipboard. The main lounge, which s
may be converted into a ball room, is (
hung with Gobelin tapestries and a
equipped with a practical stage for
theatrical performances. An unusual 1
amount of space has been set aside q
for an elaborate winter garden with a c
wealth of tropical vegetation. There c
is a running track, an elaborate Ro- r
man bath and swimming pool, and a
variety of Russian, mineral and elec- p
trie baths with skilled attendants, a f
florist, candy and book shop, a public
stenographer, a photographic dark
rnnm plpr?trir? ^alpvatnrc and PVprV T
conceivable appointment to assure r
luxury and variety throughout the q
Atlantic crossing. t
The grand dining saloon seats over e
600 persons and occupies two decks, i
extending the full width of the ship, a
In the Ritz-Carlton restaurant a dis- t
tinctive cuisine may be enjoyed, while i
still further variety is afforded by the p
(grill room, the winter garden and v
'veranda cafe, which is comparable to a
a roof garden. Among the original a
features of the Imperator are the t
smaller dining saloons, available for r
private dinner parties and the break- i
fast rooms of the private suites. r
The familiar Sea phrase "ship- e
shape" has a special significance as t
applied to the eight kitchens of the c
Imperator. To economize the space, *
which is so valuable on shipboard, the t
kitchens are equipped with the new- =
est time and labor-saving devices
which are operated by electricity.
There are ingenious electrical plate
washers, knife-cleaning machines,
silver polishing machines, electric egg
cookers, water filters, etc., Connected
with the kitchens are enormous
storerooms and cold storage rooms
besides innumerable pantries, bars,
taps and mess rooms. A series of
electric elevators carry the foods
quickly from the kitchens to the saloon
decks.
The kitchen personnel is directed
by two chief chefs, one presiding
over first cabin kitchens, the second
for the Ritz-Carlton restaurant, assisted
by a staff of 116 assistant cooks
and kitchen functionaries. The staff
includes five pastry cooks, five butchers
and a special sauce chef. There
is a head washer assisted by 21 silver
and glass cleaners. An additional
staff of 62 stewards assist in the preparation
of the meals and as many
more in the subsequent work. The
total serving personnel of the Imperator
comprises more than 500 persons.
The cold storage rooms for meats,
fowl, vegetables, butter, milk, eggs
and canned goods, the wine cellars
and beer cellars, are among the larg
est of their kind in the world. The
Imperator takes on board for a seven- =
day voyage between New York and
Hamburg some 48,500 pounds of
fresh meats, 48,000 eggs and 121,000
pounds of potatoes. The larder,
besides, contains 27,500 pounds of
fresh vegetables and 6,000 tins of
canned vegetables. There are, besides,
10,500 pounds of fowl and
game and 9,000 pounds of fish and
shell fish, 800 pounds of mushrooms
and 4,000 cans of preserved fruits.
The ship also carries 12,500 quarts
( of milk and crpam, 400 pounds of tea,
500 pounds of chocolate and cocoa,
and 7,000 pounds of coffee.
For the average traveler perhaps
the most attractive feature of the
Imperator is the stateroom. These
rooms are unusually large and livable,
and free from any suggestion
of crowding. The convention builtin
berths have been replaced by brass
bedsteads of attractive design. Each
room is supplied with a marble washstand
with hot and cold running
water, and the conveniences of passengers
has been anticipated in the
placing of mirrors, dressing tables
