Harriet Stanton Blatch will be the speaker In the lecture course, at the Lyceum this evening, when she will tell of "The Woman Who Tolls." She Is a daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, pioneer leader of the equal suffrage movement.

Mrs. Blatch Is a very attractive and handsome woman, while her manner upon the platform Is saiu to be of the conversational nature. Though the child of a great woman lecturer, she inherits more of lier father's style than, her mother's. The former was also a flue public speaker. Mrs.

Blatch was an excellent student at Vassar, from which college she received her diploma. Two years ago when she went back to give an address upon economics, the professor of that subject was so Impressed with the way she treated it, that he requested her to take bis class for a week, during which time he resigned his pupils to her care. While living during the past twenty years in England, she has looked Into the situation of working women, visiting the factories and other places employing large numbers. This she has done from her own personal Interest, for as the wife of a successful English business man she has not handled public matters or lectured as a calling. Informed upon the Industrial conditions of her sex In English sepaking countries, she Is well re-pared Tith her knowledge of economics to handle her topic wiight- After graduating from Vassar, Miss Stanton sailed with her mother for Europe.

On the voyage there were social evenings passed, as usual to beguile the hours of a long journey, and they proved to be hours that had an important bearing upon her future. She played games with an Englishman, and must have played at "hearts," for he won hers, and they were married. That game was certainly successful, for the marriage Is a happy one that has stood the test of a score of years. Now Mr. and Mrs.

Blatch are house-keeping temporarily In Ithaca, while their daughter is taking a course In civil engineering. With all her culture and charming manners, Mrs. Blatch has a keen appreciation of the ludicrous, which Is displayed in her face. While In London she has greatly assisted members of the Liberal party. There she has been active In politics, where, strange to say, women have more part In civil authority and ft king of laws than the women of America.

COLDEST OF SEASON. Thermometer Registered Three Degrees Above Zero at 11:30 Yesterday Morning. The cold wave warning which was ordered by the Weather Bureau was fully appreciated by thos.i who noticed it and dressed accordingly. The wave was accompanied by high winds and light snow. In New York the wind blew at the rate of sixty miles an hour and at liostou thirty miles.

The snow was light and drifted in many places. The thermometer in this city registered C. degrees above zero at 11:30 yesterday morning and degrees above was noted at 8 o'clock in the evening. This was the coldest day that Rochester has this season, and combined with the wind, was one of the most disngreeal le. Albany had cbout half an inch of snow, Oswego and Buffalo one-fourth, Boston 2 1-2 and Rochester one-fourth.

As the wave progressed eastward, the temperatures gradually rose behind it and in several places in the West where previous to and during the storm the thermometer registered below zero, it was MG and 40 degrees above last niglrt. The official prediction for to-day is fair weather accompanied by a rise in GREAT ATLANTIC PACIFIC TEA CO. mm- fell i 210 MAIN STREET EAST 74 MAIN STREET WEST 294 NORTH STREET BOTH PHONES 1510 Was Paid Agent by Casualty Company in Excess of Commissions. A decision In favor of the Maryland Casualty Company against William C. Burnette, a former agent of the company, which requires him to return 1,199.55, over-paid commissions, was handed down by Justice Nash in Special Term, yesterday morning.

Burnette was engaged as the company's agent In this city to transact the business of its accident and health department. The company was to advance $125 a month for one year, but a settlement of accounts was to be had every three months. The Court held that the sum paid during the year in excess of the commissions earned should be repaid to the company. THE OLDEST DRUMMER IN NEW YORK STATE James H. Wild of This City Began His Travels Seventy Years Ago.

The oldest commercial traveler or drummer In the state, and perhaps In the country, is James II. Wild, of this city. He commenced his career in Kochester and called at the towns between this city and New York In 1S30. He makes his winter home In this city, and his summer home In Columbiaville, Columbia county. From 1S56 he was a permanent resident of this city and became acquainted with its leading citizens.

He sold calico prints which brought about 25 cents a yard in those days. It Is Interesting to hear the old gentleman, now in his ninetieth year, tell of the experiences of his early days and uis acquaintance with George Dawson, Thurlow Wood and other men who were conspicuous In political scenes and business life. It was In the days of the old stags coach and canal packet and the old Eagle Tavern kept by Major Van Henssalear. The Rochester House was then also a leading hostelry and there a select coterie of leading citizens oiten gathered for a game of whist. Mr.

Wild Is the only one of those grand old pioneers who Is left to tell of Rochester In those days. He Is still lively and his many years rest lightly on him. He delights still in a game of whist and tells a story with zest. One of his stories Is of the old and famous Eider Knapp, who frequently held forth at the old Brick Church. The preacher's fervor frequently led him to say things which were not exactly tactful.

In one of his addresses he stated that many leading citizens (naming them) were gambling every evening in the Kochester House. The statement created Quite a sensation. Playing cards was gambling, and nothing else, In the estimation and belief of the elder. Smarting under the lash of the remarks of citizens, and disliking to be heralded aa gamblers, the maligned persons procured a warrant for the arrest of Elder Knapp. At the windup of his revival season the Elder took a stage for the East, but when he reached l'ittsford.

Deputy Sheriff Joseph Putnam served the warrant and brought the Elder back to Kochester with him. Then there were many conferences. The Eider did not relish a law suit for slander. He was told he could go free If he made a public retraction. He made the retraction from the Brick Church pulpit, stating that he had been misinformed and that he had been convinced that playing cards was not gambling per se.

A book of Mr. Wlld'a reminiscences of early Kochester, or what was then Kochestervllle, would make Interesting reading. He has seen many wonderful changes in the city since DISPENSED OBLIGATION. Catholics May ParlaKe of Meat on New Year's Day. Bishop McQuaid yesterday sent to the priests of the diocese of Kochester a copy of a letter received this week from Archbishop Falconio, apostolic delegate to the United States, announcing that Pope Plus X.

has dispensed all Catholics from the obligation to abstain from the use of meat on New Year's Day, which this year falla on next Friday. The priests will read this letter at to-day's masses. Under the regulations of the Catholic Church the use of flesh meat Is forbidden to members of that church on all Fridays except when Christmas falls on that day. Meat Is forbidden on all other Fridays Including when New Year's falls on that day. Devout Catholics expected to make their New Year's dinner In 1904 of flsh, eggs or some other substitutes for meat, but Pius dispensation Will enable them to en-Joy the usual New Year's turkey.

MM U)1 tmmrmmm ij milium luiijwji mi A JAR TO HIS CONFIDENCE Use "Found Ad" Jottfi That Conscience is Frequently Wanting in People WhoVich Up Lost Money Even on Christmas EVe. The thing called 'educated conscience' seems to be scarce in this bailiwick," was the remark of a casual contributor to the Want" columns of the Democrat and Chronicle, as he stood at the counter in the counting room last evening, having perused something like a baker's dozen of answers he had received to a "Found" advertisement. The advertiser's tone was sufficiently pessimistic to warrant a reporter in asking for an explanation of his apparent loss of confidence in his fellow-beings.

"It's just this way," said the man with the bundle of letters. "On Christmas eve I was unfortunate enough to find a sum of money, with no accessories which would positively indicate the proper ownership. It was not a sufficient amount to really warrant my renting a compartment in a security company's vault in which to store it until an owner could be found, yet it was large enough for its loss to prove inconvenient, and probably distressing, to the loser, especially on Christmas eve." "Did you advertise it?" inquired the reporter. "Yes, and that is what is bothering me. I placed a "want ad" in the Democrat and Chronicle on Christmas morning, and I've got a dozen answers, none of which, obviously, fit the case.

Fvery writer evidently states the character of the loss fairly and there are no 'strikers. but all describe property other than I advertised. The owner of the 'wad' has not as yet communicated with me." It was suggested to the advertiser that he seemed to have done bis duty in the matter, but that he had not explained his pessimistic view of the public conscience. "That's the odd thing about the business," he said. "I have been watching the advertisements of money found and lost, since I made my find.

There has been just one "lost ad" come to my notice, and not a single case of advertising monoy found, besides my own. Now, here are a dozen people who lost money on Christmas eve, running from $1 into the twenties. Practically all of that money must have been picked up by somebody, yet, so far as I can find by close search, not a blessed, or otherwise, one of these people has had the grace to attempt to find the owner by the only recognized method. Must we be forced to the conclusion that these pocketbooks and their contents, which ate so elaborately described by the owners, have bn quietly appropriated by the finders? You can form no other conclusion. "The law is pretty clear in these matters.

It has been held by the courts, times Innumerable, that a finder Is not under obligations to take property he has found Into his custody, but haviug done so he must use due diligence, by properly advertising, to restore the property to Its owner; otherwise he is legally guilty of an offense to which the law gives the unpleasant name 'of larceny. Hence, when I find all of these losses, some fourteen in number, with but one advertisement by finders, and that my own, I am forced to the view that educated conscience Is a bit scarce. "I am very much afraid that some youngster fared badly on Christinas, on account of the loss of the money I found. I shall again advertise, and I expect to find the owner, but that will not console somebody for the loss of Christmas cheer. You see it la a matter of eentiment, not coil-science with me.

"But what shall we think of a dozen people In Uochester, who, on Christmas eve, find as many wallets, with sums small enough to indicate the slender means of the losers, but still large enough to make some deprivation certain? One lad writes me that he lost a wallet with $4. all he had, and 'my board bill is due Saturday he says. Then he offered $1 for the return of the remaining $3. Some of these letters are simply pitiful; for you know It was the eve of the Natal Day, when Teace on Earth, Good Will to is wont to be proclaimed. "Possibly a nickel or two of that lad's found its way to the collection plate on Christmas morning.

Of course, we all know that a good many people refrain from advertising money found, when they can safely retain it, but who would think that thirteen purses could be lost and the finders quietly pocket the contents?" "Perhaps pickpockets got a share of the money reported lost?" suggested the reporter. "I doubt the nature of these letters," replied the advertiser, "but I trust you are right. For I have more respect for a straight-out pickpocket than I have for a man or woman who would find a pocket-book on Christmas eve, and not make an effort to find the owner." Then the disgruntled advertiser proceeded to Invest another 13 cents In the effort to dispose of his "find." In the new equipment is a large double stereopticon, for dissolving views. This instrument has been obtained with special reference to its use in connection with the course of art lectures. Fifteen lectures, on as many consecutive Saturdays, will be given by Dr.

Denio, beginning on January 0th. Ten of the lectures will be on French art, and five on American art. During the past year. Miss Denio has lectured very acceptably. The new stereopticon will enable the more satisfactory exhibition of the many examples of art with which Dr.

Denio illustrates her interesting lectures. Among other minor but desirable improvements at Anderson Hall, ordered by the trustees, is a re-arrangement of storm houses. The interior storm soase has been removed and a new one placed outside the main entrance. This enables the placing of glass above the doors, giving light to the main lobby, which heretofore, -in winter, has been especially gloomy ad uninviting. Under the direction of Dr.

Pollard, the gymnasium has been put in excellent shape, although no extensive changes were found to be necessary. The necessity for a new physical laboratory building becomes more apparent with the arrival of the new apparatus before referred to. The rooms to be occupied by Professor Lawrence, and bis new assistant, Mr. Minchen, will necessarily be somewhat crowded, especially as the number of students in this department has materially increased during the past year or two. IiYterest Through the indefatigable efforts of psident Thomas 15.

Dunn, of the Chamber of Commerce, several prominent men have been engaged to re-ffoni. to toasts at the annual banquet of tie association, in Colonial Hall, on the vening of January 7th. Besides General Daniel E. Sickles, to whom special reference has already been jiade. Charles It.

Flint, sometimes called the "Father of Trusts," will respond to the toast: "United States Commercial World Power." Although still comparatively a yoang man, Mr. Flint has been in the fore front of business affairs for many tears. He was educated in the public ichools of Brooklyn and at a private school at Topsham, and was grad-sated from the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. llis first connection with business was 19 a dock clerk, and in 1SG9 he entered the employ of W. It.

Grace, later becoming a partner in the firm of William 11. Grace Co. In 1SSO he became interested in the United States Electric Lighting Company and was made its president, tad in 1SS3 he engaged in the shipping business, joining the firm of Flint Company. In the spring of 1S9S, both before and daring the war with Spain, Mr. Flint rendered valuable services to the United States government, in the purchase of vessels and munitions of war.

Through his agents all over tie world he kept in touch with negotiatioL3 which had been commenced by the agents of the Spanish government, and through the information thus obtained he blocked in several instances the attempt of the Spaniards to purchase foreign war vessels and supplies. It was Mr. Flint who gave the United States government the first information of the sailing of the Spanish fleet from Cape Verde, and also, twelve hours later, the direction in which the fleet was steaming. Mr. Flint also advised the government of the sailing of colliers to the rendezvous with the Spanish fleet off the coast of Venezuela.

He also arranged the purchase from Brazil of the cruiser Xicthe-roy, which was reehristened the Buffalo, and cftenvards made record time between. New York and Manila in the conveyance of ttoops and supplies. Secretary of the Navy Long, in recognition of Mr. 1- lint work, wrote him as follows: In this connection, also, will you let me reftr to the services which, just before the war bean and afterwards during Its progress, you so kindly gave to the department, without compensation or reimbursement, in inference to other negotiations In connection with its efforts to procure ships and armament broad. In view of your large experi-tuce and extended business facilities the department very highly appreciates your patriotic action and your generous co-operation, and takes this opportunity to formally tender to you Its hearty thanks.

During the past year Mr. Flint has de-Toted himself chiefly to the consolidation of industrials, and the birth of thirty-nine consolidations, with a capitalization of over SiSOO.OOO.OOO, bear witness to his success and industry iu this line and has him to become widely known as the "Father of Trusts." He has also had some experience in street railroads, having been chairman of the Reorganization Committee which consolidated the street car lines of Syracuse, New York. He also organized the Manaos Railway Company, which built a trolley line in the City of Manaos, Brazil, one thousand miles up the Ama zon, and which has since been sold to that government. He has also installed there an electric lighting system, water works, and the Hastings Pavement Company, which he controls, has paved the streets with the asphalt block pavement. Mr.

Flint retains his good health by temperate living and by spending one day of each week in the open air with a gun or rod. He has shot in the Rocky Mountains, in Canada, and iu South America, and no keener sportsman exists, lie is fond of yachting and was the owner of the sloop yacht Gracie, which was a noted prize winner in her day. He was also one of the syndicate bich built the Vigilant, which successfully defended America's cup against the Valkyrie. At present he is the owner of tie Arrow, the engines of which were built in contemplation if the needs of our fovemment for torpedo boats during the war with Spain. The Arrow is the fastest craft afloat, having steamed at the rate of forty-five miles an hour, and is so built that she can be transformed into a torpedo boat in about a week.

Another speaker who has promised President Dunn to be present and respond to a toast is Hon. O. P. Austin, chief of the Bureau of Statistics, of the Department of Commerce, at Washington. Hon.

William R. Merriam, ex-governor I Minnesota, will speak to the toast Men of the Century." NeirocKer-ConKIin. A pretty wedding took place at tho tome of David J. Couklin, No. 75 Curiin street, last Tuesday, when his daughter, Jessie Louise, was united in marriage to George Xeirocker, of Gates.
