Young, Descendant of Ethan Allen, Points Out Many Ways For Women to Earn a Living In the Open Air—Lauds Country Lass. “I do not see why it should follow because oue happens to be a girl col lege graduate that she should cling forever to the cities and hold only to the vocations and avocations which are considered as peculiarly belonging to her sex. Therefore I cannot see why so much ado is made about me—a very ordinary girl—simply because I love nature so passionately that I wish to be always in touch with her and be cause 1 am going to act for the coming season at least as a guide through the magnificent wilds of northern New' York.” The foregoing is a statement “made a few days ago for publication” by Miss Ella Marlon^jpung, formerly of Philadelphia and !r direct descendant of Ethau Allen of Revolutionary fame, who for the past three years has been a nomadic resident of half a dozen vil lages in the Adirondacks and along the shores of the St. Lawrence, says a special dispatch from Lake-of-the- Woods, N. Y., to the New York Times. Miss Young Is at present occupying a little rustic cottage belonging to her brother-in-law, Dr. John A. Miller of Atlanta, and situated upon G*een is land, in the Lake-of-the-Woods. An announcement appearing recent ly In a Lake-of-the-Woods paper stated that Miss Young would act In the ca pacity of guide during the coming sea son, and the girls of a score of villages whispered and wondered. They were sure it must be a “Joke,” for many of them knew Miss Young and were aware of her accomplishments. How ever, that there might be a grain of truth in the report was suspected by a number of them, for she had already won a name as a champion of out of doors living and as the foremost hunt er of her sex in the Lake-of-the-Woods section of the Empire State. Many large sized “don’ts” came hi her mall. “Of course I take none of the letters too seriously,” she said to the corre spondent who went over to Green is land. “No doubt many of my girl friends are very much in earnest, but I must own that tile more dolefully ad visory die missives are die greater is my enjoyment of them. Rut I wonder if die girls think I am thus easily dis suaded from carrying out an Idea I have had In mind for years? I was always fond of the ‘great outside of houses’ and at Rryn Mawr took delight In all athletics, but only now have I reached the ideal. “No,” said Miss Young pleasantly, an swering the newspaper man’s request for more about herself and her fami ly, “I don’t think it is necessary to make a biography of this ’story,’ do you? You see, it is a long hark back to Ethan Allen and Fort Ticouderoga, and while we are all proud of the old hero, there is no good reason why he should be exploited in my behalf. Per haps, though, the love for the lakes and woods and mountains with which my blood is tilled was generated in the veins of the Revolutionary patriot, whose authority for most things was ‘tin* great Jehovah and the Continental congress.’ ‘‘The whole world of honest endeavor is oisen to women, and there is no good reason why they should not take ad vantage of it. D > not understand me as being in favor of my sex going into coal mines, machine shops or nerve racking factories. Rut they may be come more generally small fanners, dairy proprietors, fruit raisers and poultry keepers, to say nothing of be coming carriers of mail in the rural freeclelivery system, railroad and tele graph agents, guides, etc. “I really pity those of my sex who think that they must lie employed In stores or offices to maintain u certain standard of respectability. They de lude themselves into thinking that to be u ‘country girl’ is to be a little out of date and not quite refined. Rut do they ever stop to think that health, happiness and beauty are more fre quently found among the tall pines than among the ‘skyscrapers?* “It is said that I urn the first girl guide. But you may be sure that there will be others, for I myself will gladly help any girl who wishes to take up the work. “Many girls and women come to the Adirondacks and the Ht. Lawrence ev ery season without male escort. They spend much of their time about the hotel verandas and really see but little Of woods life, though a majority of them are anxious to do so.

Mich., United States Junior engineer in charge of the Portage lake waterways, has been ndvi»<*d by the United States lighthouse board that Walter Byers, engineer of construction, will arrive in Houghton on May 1"> to make prepara tions for the construction of the Rock of Ages light, for which an appropria tion was made at the last session of congress, says the Detroit Free Press. The light is to be located on the Rock of Ages, the projecting portion of a dangerous roof about three miles west of Isle Royaie. This rock has been a menace to Lake Superior navigation ever since the first craft sailed the wa ter. It has been somewhat out of the beaten path of ships, but it lias always been argued that were it guarded by a light it would serve to mark a con venient course on the run from Duluth to Houghton or Whitefish. The gov ernment has finally decided to erect the light. It will require the entire summer to complete the work, as the rock is in the open lake, exposed to every wind that blows, and it will lie possible 1»> work only in calm weather. Mr. Byers has asked Engineer Banks to secure for him a company of skilled mechan ics for the work, so that his*arrange- ments in Houghton may not occupy much time. The lighthouse when erect ed will be one of the finest on the great lakes. It Is said that the lamp Itself will cost $15,010, exclusive of the building. The lamp is of French make. A HE KIO!

Jacob Kiis, speaking to the hoys of the Do Witt Clinton High school In New York the other day, gave correct ed versions of the “Roosevelt maxims” of which he spoke In Philadelphia re cently, says the New York Sun. It seems that there are but three of them and that they are as follows: First.—Be ready. Be prepared for everything that may occur. Second.—Eveiy boy is entitled to all the good and honest fun he can get. Third.—Apply your judgment to a question and, having done so, go ahead. Mr. Kiis told the boys many stories of the president’s life and habits and said that Mr. Roosevelt’s motto was: “It Is better to be faithful than fa mous.” Peach Tree Worth a Fortune.

OLD PEOPLE Investors In Foreign Lands Claim It Is One of the Most Important In Many Years—Regarded as Evidence of Our Increasing International Influence. A prominent banker and capitalist of Paris, one of the group interested in the exploitation of the French African colonies, stated to the Brussels corre spondent of the New Y'ork Sun that the entrance of Thomas F. Ryan and his associates into the field of African de velopment was regarded as oue of the most Important movements in many years. “Although there is some of the usual talk about the ‘Yankee invasion,’ ” he said, “there are sonic solid reasons why European Investors in foreign countries are glad of this movement. For one thing, we regard it as evidence of cou- fideuce in the commercial and financial stability of our colonies. Then, too, it affords us the opportunity to demon strate to the Americans the need of reliable and responsible government in the undeveloped parts of the world where European or American capital may bo invested. “For example, when Americans have substantial investments in any of our African colonies they can better appre ciate our desire for responsible and conservative government in South America, where some of us have very large interests. We know that the Americans have no political intentions in Africa, so that their commercial in terests in that continent will stand re lated to the European powers exactly as our commercial interests across the Atlantic are related to American pow ers; hence we feel that the Ryan move ment toward Africa gives us somewhat of a guarantee of a substantial nature for fair play all around.” An English capitalist interested in Africa when told the views of the Paris financier practically agreed with him. “We have found Americans very useful to us in South Africa.” he said, “especially such men as John Hays Hammond and Gardiner Williams. The Americans have a vast territorial ex panse for studying economic geological questions not possessed by any Euro pean power at home, and so they are especially competent to help discover the resources of Africa. It Ls likely that American investments in the Kon go will lead to conservatism of govern ment and Improvement in many ways. Some Englishmen have professed to see in this movement only a clever ruse of King Leopold to checkmate I)osslble British hostility, but It is absurd to suppose that the American government will allow itself to become entangled in African affairs because of the interests of a few capitalists. As a matter of fact there is much British capital interested in the richest mineral i*ortlon of the Kongo, and our interests will probably be identical with those of the Americans as far as our relations to the Kongo government are concerned.” It is e'xi»eeted in Brussels that the American expeditions will reach the interior of 2 fries about the first of June. The expedition in charge of Mr. Veruer will begin development work immediately, a steamer having been obtained for its use. and a new town is to be laid off somewhere near Stan ley Pool. The members of this expedi tion are Messrs. Poj>e and Andrews, Americans, and Bertrand and De.Tahr, Belgians, besides others to follow soon. The geological and miueralogical sur vey under S. H. Bull, late of the Unit ed States geological survey, has secur ed as expeditionary chief R. Dorsey Mobuu, formerly of the United States navy and for several years an officer in the Kongo government. The latter expedition will be occupied at first in general reeouii' issance work to prepare for actual exploitation later.

The value of chewing tobacco as a help to ruminative habits that lead to good statesmanship is one of the things that Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton university, touched ujam in his lecture recently in the Horace Mann auditorium at Columbia university, in New York, on “The Senate of the United States.” Dr. Wilson pointed out the fact that a western senator, as a rule, is more valuable than an eastern ttfau because he comes from the part of the country that is productive of thought. In the east, according to Dr. Wilson, men have no opinions because they do not have time to think. “If you live in a place,” said Dr. Wilson, “where you can sit around the stove in a country store and spit to bacco juice into a sawdust box you are much more likely to have opinions than if you live in New Y'ork. Whatever you may think of the habit of chewing tobacco, I want to suggest tint chew ing sometimes leads to rumini ive hab its. If a man stops long ei )ugh be tween sentences it shows h - is more likely to have opinions ‘aat have weight than if he does not. There is something in a sawdust Ik>: . “People who have their h ads buried in a morning paper in the i >rnlug and in an evening paper in th • afternoon have no ideas except those which the newspapers give them. This is the kind of people that are found in the east, where people think about nothing else except what they see in newspa pers and their business. In the west this is not true. The western senator has time to chew between sentences and consequently is more likely to think of those things which are valua ble to the nation.” FIND OF GIGANTIC BONES. Remains of Prehistoric Animate Un earthed In Pennsylvania. Perfectly preserved bones of gigan tic prehistoric animals which roamed the Allegheny mountains were recent ly discovered by a blast in the quarries of the American Lime and Stone com pany along the Pennsylvania railroad Just east of Hollidaysburg, says ait Al toona special dispatch to the New Y’ork Times. The Carnegie institute at Pitts burg has been notified. The fossils, which are evidently of different animals or a family of one species, were found thirty-five feet un der the surface of a limestone forma tion, and Superintendent J. King Hen ry of the quarries lias preserved the fossils unearthed and will do no fur ther work in the quarries until scien tists have had an opportunity to make a further search. A thigh lone of one of the animals is ten and a half Inches in diameter, while many teeth five and six inches long have ’ cen found. The teeth are ribl>ed, each rib having a chisel edge, ivory coated and somewhat worn from mastication. One \ertebra is eight Inches in diameter, while another is four inches. YOUNG MEN FOR CONGRESS. Aged Senator Pettua Says Youthful Statesmen Are Best. Edmund \V. I’ettus of Alabama, the oldest man in the United States senate, thinks that only young men should be sent to congress. In a few months Mr. Pettus will be eighty-six years old. While he doesn't assent to the doctrine that an old man Is worth nothing any where, he says that he feels convinced that the senate or the house of repre sentatives is not the place for a man who Is In the declining years of his life. “I don't think we ougnt to have boys In our legislative bodies,” be said to a' New York Evening Post writer, “but It Isn't a good business policy to send to congress men who are over fifty-five or sixty years of age. I was seventy-six when I entered upon my duties as United States senator. I was too old then, and I haven’t grown any younger In the ten years I’ve been here. But I’m here, and I guess I'll stay. My notion is that men from forty to fifty years old—the average man is In the prime of his mental vigor at that age —ought to be elected as senators, and then kept here as long as they are able to do the required work.” The aged Alabamian served as a lieutenant in the Mexican war and as a brigadier general in the civil war and takes great interest In all matters relating to the military department of the government. He has not missed a meeting since the committee on milt- tary affairs began its investigation of the “shooting up” of Brownsville. He astonished his colleagues by coming to the committee recently with a patent ear trumi>et device, which he placed on his head in order that he might not miss anything said by the wit nesses. This apparatus gave him the appearance of a diver ready to proceed to the lx)ttoin of the sea. One of the colored soldiers was so awed by the apparatus of the venerable senator that he could scarcely raise his voice above a whisper until the chairman of the committee bad explained the pur pose of the headgear.
