Lucky No. 7 arrived at Eiser's. A lonitg Woman wha Manages and Kdlts a Newspaper.

The new woman is still branohing out. She had taokled about every de partment on a newspaper outside of the business office and the meohanical departments, and now she has absorbed the whole outfit at one swoop,

The woman to make this daring move is of oonrse a western girl. She is Miss Nellie Madeline Davis, daughter of Oolonel O. O. Davis, proprietor and founder of the Leadville CJhroniole, whioh is one of the most influential evening newspapers in Colorado. Colo nel Davis was reoently ill as a result of living for mauy years in the high altitude of the famous mining oamp, and his physician ordered a prolonged absence at sea level. There was no one to whom he oared to intrust the man

MISS NBLLIE DAVIS.

agement of his paper during a long absence, and he began to despair of his ability to follow the doctor's prescription, when the daughter suggested that she take the position of editor, manager and publisher.

It was a bold suggestion, and it won because of its boldness. A brief trial oonvinced Colonel Davis that the young woman was capable, and with an easy mind and a clear conscience he started on his travels.

Miss Davis is not a girl of the M'liss" type, if she does run a newspaper in a mining oamp. On the contrary, she looks very like the conventional sooiety young woman and confesses to a great fondness for social diversions—just like any other well balanced, healthy, good looking and bright girl of 22. What is probably most to her credit is the fact that she protests vehemently against being oalled a "new woman." She prefers to be considered just what she is—a womanly woman.

She is at her'desk almost continuously from 7:80 in the morning until 6 in the evening, and after supper she returns to see how things are going and to open the mail. Of her complex duties she prefers editorial work. She is a prolific writer, and a good one. ^She attends to all the business correspondence, edits the telegraphic neWs, reads proofs and is learning to operate a linotype maohine.—Chicago Tribune.

Outfits'7 The pretty debutante, the object of the admiration of all eyes at her first season's functions, occasionally elicits more than a passing thought of the beauty find brilliance of her appearance. To the fond mamma, with a daughter or so of her own ooming on, she is a matter of soqae speculation as to the post of her production. It Is a matter of stern fact that the debutante's first season is usuairather an §xpenstVS affair, find tlio ms Spent ra tjie bud, even by those who not in the least ostentatious in their splay of wealth, are frequently beyond belief,

Sere was a case in point, the fact given by the mother of the debutante, who, though not a Vanderbilt or a Gould, gave her daughter a very far send off and started her in the sooiaj whirl with as mttoh eclat as any well minded ordinary gi*l could expect

The arrangement of a complete outfit at the very beginning is a matter of paramount importance. It saves trouble with modistes in busy times and gives opportunity for the Section of modes and materials the very latest.

A CONVENT EftlsON.'

OunildmUon With WMah Woes** Hi' PrUoneiw Are Treated In Austria. In Austria a woman, no matter what she may do, is never regarded or treated quite as a criminal. She may rob, burn, kill—set every law at defiance, in fact, and break all the commandments in turn—without a fear of ever being oalled upon to face a gallows. She is not even sent to an ordinary prison to do penanoe for her sins. The hardest fate that can befall her indeed is to be compelled to take up her abode for a time in a convent. There the treatment meted out to her is not so much justice seasoned with mercy ns mercy seasoned, and JafoSefao well, with justice. Even in official ports she is an "erring sister "-^ougj^ has, it is true, strayed from the narro path, but quite involuntarily.,

The convent to which V?ennfriserfdg its erring sisters is at Netidorf, only A few miles away from the city. There any woman who is convicted of either orime or misdemeanor is at once transported. The judge before whom she is tried decides of course how long she shall remain. He may, too, if he deems it right, give orders that while there she shall pass a day in solitary confinement from tiino, to time and on these occasions bo less plentifully supplied with food.tlmu usual.

(85

In (bo great majority of cases, however, no instructions of. this kind are given. The women are simply handed over to the keeping of the superior of the convent, to be dealt with as she thinks best. She houses them, feeds them, olothes them and provides them with instruction and occupation, and the government gives her for what she does

kreutzers a day for each prisoner un der her care. So long as these women are in the convent the full responsibility for their safe keeping and general well being rests on the superior, and in return she is allowed practically a free hand in her management of them. There are, it is true, certain regulations in force with regard to the amount of work they may be required to do and the punishments that may be inflicted on them, but these are not of a nature to interfere seriously with her freedom of action. She is, in fact, virtually an ^utocrat within her own domain, and there are not half a dozen women in Europe today who have so much power for the weal or woe of their fellows as she has.—Cornhill Magazine.

The Daughter.

The suporior wisdom of the feminine mind is shown in the fact that the mother never rebels against her daughter's guidance. She is the first to discover the young woman's wisdom and she enjoys the security and sense of rest Which come from feeling that she has some one to depend upon, some one to think and plan for her. She regards it as providential that as the husband of heir youth grpws careless, as his judgment becomes untrustworthy as to details, as he grows inolined to shirk the little questions which arise in the conduct of the household, the daughter quite naturally takes up the neglected duties and assumes the management of the affairs. Of course it is often difficult for the mother to live up to the course the daughter marks out. She sometimes finds herself deficient in the strength or wisdom the daughter expects from her. But this is not real trouble, for under it all is the comforting sense of being guided by a strong will, the sense of being free from responsibility for the social and domestio welfare of the family is filling the young woman's soul with satisfaction, flattering her with the consciousness of her great usefulness, making her realize her. importance in the world.—Kansas City Star.

''The Jumping Manikin.

Take an ordinary tumbler and pour water into it until it? is three-quarters full. Then carefully wipe, $lje edge of the glass, so that it rnaj Je perfeotly dry before you begin your littlS ment. Place upon the top of the glassT as if you intended to protect the con

tents from dust, a playing card made of good, firm paper, with the printed figure turned down toward the water. The card must be latge enough to extend just over the edge of the glass all aronnd.

Let the card remain on the glass for half an hour or so, and you will then see that the moist vapor rising from the liquid has caustd the card to swell or arch in the center. Then take the card carefully by one of its corners and replace it on the glass, with the arched side reversed.

Having cut out of paper the figure of a little man, and inserted it in a slit in the top of a vial cork, place the cork carefully upon the center of the card and wait Presently the moist vapor will make the card swell in the opposite direction, and, with a little clap, up will fly your manikin and your cork into the air.—Philadelphia Time®.

A fashion note of significance is the return in smart London and Parisian circles to the wear with evening dress of long loose wristed black suede gloves. This fashion was always becoming to the hand and decidedly beneficial to the purse. ,- Js

Thirty fMn as a Telegraph Operator. In the several branches of the telegraph service throughout the country there are a few operators who, by an unusual degree of expertness in the receiving and sending of messages, have won special distinction among their coworkers, but even in that limited coterie there are few indeed who have a record that can equal that of the subject of this sketch a record of which Mrs. Merryfield is not only justly proud herself, but which the Western Union company is pleased to hold up as an example of what may be accomplished by intelligent and persistent application to duty.

Mrs. Merryfield first entered the telegraph service in a small offioe at Blairstown, la., in 1805, for the old Illinois and Mississippi Telegraph company. In 1868 she went to Chicago as an operator, and later as ohief of the ladies' department. In 1872 and 1878 she was an operator

for the Atlantic and Pacific and Union Pacifio at Omaha, under Mr. Dickey. From 1874 to 1876 she was in San Francisco and Los Angeles for the Western Union, and between 1878 and 1882 served in Colorado for the Western Union and Denver and Rio Qrande Railway company.

In 1883 she went to Cheyenne and has remained there up to the present time, occupying the position of night wire chief. In that office there are eight duplex and two quad sets, besides the Wheatstone repeaters, half set, Morse repeaters, etc., all of which Mrs. Merryfield has in charge, giving the utmost satisfaction. During the recent Indian troubles in Wyoming her expert work called forth remarks of surprise from newspaper operators in Chicago and New York by her good sending. The Western Union management speak of Mrs. Merryfield in the highest terms and express the hope that her 80 years' service may be supplemented by many years yet of usefulness both to herself, to the company she serves so acceptably and to the public.—Buffalo Express.
