Draper Asked Charier Extellsin Croke When It Came to Argument. Stoughton Ez Randolph Railway the Subject. Committee Seemed Oprosed to iVoman's Petitiom A wife advocated her husbands cause before the committee on street railways at the state house yesterday morning. In advocating the cause elle woman appeared more than once on the point of collapse, and finally retired from the chamber. She was Mrs Edward P.

Draper, wife of the treasurer of the Stoughton Randolph street railway. The matter before the committee was a petition signed by Mr Draper for an extension of the time within which the road was to be competed. He sought on extension till Aug 1, 1901. When the matter was called up Mrs Draper arose and stated to the committee that her hueband was seriously ill 'end in the care of his physician. She would explain the bill to the committee, however.

Mrs Draper's state of excitement incidental to her presentation of the case before it legislative committee was heightened by the arpearanee of Harvey H. Pratt of Abington, who told the committee that lie was present to oppose the petition fcr extenflon. He represented himsc If and one stockholder. Mrs Draper briefly told the committee that her husband was very sick, that the work on the road had been delayed, but would be constructed by Aug 1. Mr Pratt explained his position to the committee by stating that the affairs of the company had been mismanaged by Mr Draper.

Mrs Draper found herself frequently In altercation with counsel for the opposition. She conducted her side of the case in a fairly able manner till her 'feelings began to show themselves. There was a break in the proceedings, and it was urged by Mrs Draper that she must have her counsel present. The committee agreed to wait till Mrs Draper could communicate with her counsel and get him on the scene. This meant, as It proved, a wait of half an hour.

Mrs Draper finally returned to the chamber with her counsel, A. J. Selfridge. Mr Selfridge consulted with Mr Pratt for a few minutes. Tne latter addressed the committee and stated that Mr Selfridge wanted the hearing continued.

Since his brother counsel asked this continuance and since the selectmen of Randolph were not present, he, Mr Pratt, would not object to the coutinuance. Mrs Draper kept her eyes riveted on her counsel. The committee had an inning at conference. A postponement was eust what the committee did not want. Mr Selfridle told the committee that he had no knowledge of the hearing or the bill accompanying the petition for extension of time.

"I do not think that Mr Pratt is really serious in hie opposition to this petiteore" he added. "He has impressed the committee differently," said Senator Gardner of the committee quietly. Mr Solfridge Urged postponement again. The eorreeittee finally took an open vote. and eecided to proceed at once.

Mrs Draper settled back, but was plainly disturbed. Her counsel said he did not know just how much of the ground she had covered before he arrived. "Mrs Draper has explained very thor- oughly the objects of the proposed legislation," the chairman informed him. With this information, Mr Selfridge proceeded to explain the present status of the Stoughton Randolph. Mr Pratt reiterated his opposition, and charged Mr Draper with not acting correctly In relation to the company's affairs.

Mrs Draper was finally unable to stand the Situation any and re- tired to the corridor. She had a seat placed close to the railing outside. and with face remained there. loaning her head against her muff till the hearing inside was ended. A petition for the extension of time is an ordinary matter on Beacon hill, but It is rarely urged attendant circumstance such as these witneseed yesterday.

Yesterday was our real day of presidential election. There was a large attendance.

5-et no such eager throng was present as when Rutherford B. Hayes was "counted in" in 1877. Perhaps the popular sentiment in favor of a change In our methods of electing a President Is really stronger, however, than was manifested ni out centennial. year when welinight every one was free to acknowledge that in our election machinery "reform was necessary." The dignitaries of the senate and the house of representatives, assembling in joint session, went through rather perfunctorily for the most part the Work of dealing with the official certilizates setting forth the results of the voting in the various states. It was given to Mr Grosvenor of Ohio to arouse the only laugh of the oecaEdon.

over his peculiar way of announcing the vote of Colorado. Senator Frye of Maine presided over the joint gathering, and made formal declaration that William McKinley had been elected President for four years and Theodore Roosevelt of Nev York vice president for a similar term of years by a vote of 292 to 155. All went on reasonably well, but the desirability of a change from the outgrown and outworn method of the fathers must have been obvious to most spectators at the capitol as it is to the great majority of "the plain people." SPAIN ALL "STIRRED Up." The Spanish masses are behaving in anything but a holiday spirit in the days of sApposed rejoicings over the Marriage of the princess of Asturias to a Bourbon. Unfriendly demonstrations and rioting mark the times and so savage are the efforts of the police to repress the ebullitions of popular feeling that evt the veteran leader. Sagasta, has strong protest against them.

Fortunattly for Spanish peaee. however. are few indications of any serious revival of the Carlist spirit whiai has been FO unpleasantly in evidence in years past. The young King Alfonso, if guided by Ow advice and council of his royal mother. may yet sail over smooth waterbut it mast be admitted that the storm over Caserta and revived bourbonism is fraught with some peril to the young monarch and his favorites at Madrid.

Another tore point with the ad- I ministration is that what it chLoses to call the "Cuban politicians" have been haring full sway in the mak- i leg of the new congtitution. The party supposed to be favorable to the American view of thingsthe office holders and hangere-on under administration patronagehas been very little in evidence of late, Po that the new constitution Is liable to contain certain provisions when it is completed that will call for a vigorous protest on the part of 'Air McKinley and his supporters. Congress seems to be quite lukewarm about taking the responsibility of managing Cuban affairs Nvithout being asked so to do by the Cubans, and now appears to be willing to adjourn, as the easiest way out. Of course, eternal Interference Is the price of empire, and th3 President sees a "hot box" developing. Those who used to hear the republican orators declaring that we took the poor Cubans under our wing as a matter of charity and magnanimity are now informed that one-half of the costs of the war, at least, must be Phouldered by Cuba, and that it will never do for her to set up a nation that does not recognize the fact by a treaty tacked or.

to her constitution. Poor Cuba! More Spain rellequished her sovereignty she fastened a debt of some upon her, which she is really expected by some to pay. 'When the treaty of Paris was being negotiated that debt ought to have been provided for. It was not, however, and Cuba may start with a burden that will crush her. As soon as she is declared an independent sovereignty the Spanish and French bondholders will "go for her." How can she stand such a strain on her revenues! Senator Frye says we ought to get a clause into the 117 Cuban squarely repudiating that robbers tribute, but here the Teller resolution again admonishes us to mind our ewn And -mind our own teasiness" we must, unless the Cuban constitution makers of their own initiative insert into the instrument an article recogr.lz,ng the grave obligations of the people to the United States and providing for the adjustment of the expenses incurred in the late war, so that that debt is satisfied the aamyoeuanntedInt athbeevtwe'reyenbuS5O, siert young woman met with a severe tit.

While oil business. in Boston she fell on an ice-covered sidewalk and broke her kneepan. She was confined to her bed several weeks. and then for three or four years made her designs and superintended her large and constantly growing business while seated in a wheel chair. It was considered quite a privilege to work for Miss Howland, for she paid liberally and the work was light and pleasant.

while only such girls as were known to her were allowed to join their circle. She always was fond of the society of young girls, so much so that she took care of four bright young misses whose parents had met with business reverses and brought them ulgp'as members of her household, and the remained with her urtil they married. A remarkable -feature of the valentine business at that time was that Miss Howland hail no competitor except the foreign Importations. She monopolized the business in the totted States. One large company in New York, whose order almost doubled each year until it amounted to made her a liberal tifftt to control her goods.

She considered that her place as at her aged father's sile, that she could administer to his wants and care for him better than strangers. hut in doing so she must give up her business.

It did not take her long to decide between the two. Among those employed by her was Mr George C. Whitney, and when she decided to discontinue the business he bought her out. Probably the oldest valentine in this country Is in the collection of Mr Frank House Baer of Cleveland, 0, and- was addressed in 1790 to Miss Sarah Brett. Its counterpart.

directed in the same hand to another woman, is in the British museum. This valentine takes the form of an ordinary sheet of paper about a foot square and folded ingeniously for th9 eust into squares of four inches. It was sealed with a heart drawn Very crudely in red ink, and around this four sides, in ink now faded to a pale oink. one can read these lines: When you hear this barte brbolti. 'Twill break as you these lines unfold, The power of envy cannot preteud To say I have fals VerSekt pent'.

When the young woman had regained her breath after reading these lines she broke the seal and found more verses. one couplet to each of the four outer squares of the paper.

The first reads: My dearest dear and blest devine. I have pictured bete your Mille and mine. Then followed two hearts about an Inch apart. And cupid with his fatal dart lias deeply wounded my poor bade. Here were two small arrows piercing one solitary heart.

And has betwixt us tixt a cross, Which makes me to lament my loss. The two hearts are punctured again, this time being separated by the letter which stood for the cross. And never will my poor harte have ease Till our hart are Joined as these. The poet did not stop here only but to rest to portray his feelings by drawing two hearts interwoven. By unfolding the document once more Miss Brett was happily surprised to find the following dreadful threat done in rhyme: If you refuse with me to wed.

'Twill bring destruction to my head. Pale death at last shall stand my friend Anti bring my sorrow to an end. In the middle of this sheet was a gilt heart and about it was, written this final offer: If you'll he mine I will be thyne. And so (loud Morrow, Valentine. Inventor of Fancy Valentines.

This form of valentine was the only kind used until about 1825, when a more v. i 1 elaborate affair was introduced in England. But they found little favor in this country, especially in puritanical New England, where parents characterized them as immodest and improper. It may surprise many to learn that the originator of fancy valentines in this country was a young woman fresh from college and who today, in spite of her advanced age, enjoys the vigor and health of a woman many years younger. A Globe representative had the pleasure of meeting Miss Esther Howland.

the pioneer maker of valentines. at her pretty home in Quincy, and of listening. to her story of how she was induced to establish an industry that has since become almost world-wide in its scope and influence. Miss Howland's father kept one of the largest book stores and binderies In orcester. and was regarded as a very enterprising man.

His three sons assisted him in the business, and Miss Esther attended Holyoke college. her parents intending her to prepare herself for teaching. Soon after graduating in about 1813 her father added to his stock a few imported valentines, the first which ever had been seen in Worcester. The bright young girl thought that it would be no great task to make even prettier ones than the European love missives and told her folks so. They en couraged her in the idea, and although she was greatly handicapped by the scarcity et material with which to work, she demonstrated to her own es well as her parents' satisfaction that she was capable of fashioning some artistic vaientities.

Lithography was in its Infancy, and small colored pictures were valued more highly than they are at present. She bought an assortment of these and a number of fancy envelopes which were embellished wah a more or less elaborate scroll work in each corner, and which were regarded as the proper stationery at that time. In making the first valentines Miss Howland cut the designs from the envelopes and pasted them on an ordinary sheet of papet. This answered for lace work. She then added several colored pictures from her assortment, scalloped the edges of the sheet.

and one of her brothers. who was an accomplished penman, inscribed various verses significant of love. Small Start of a Big Industry. Taking two or three dozen of these home-made valentines as samples. another brother went to Boston and New York to see if he could get orders for the next season's trade.

In two or three weeks he had orders for several thousand dollars worth of them, to fill which taxed even her remarkable resourcefulness. The father went to New York and ordered from a Mr Howland. a lithographer, a quantity of small colored pictures, and then sent to England to a manufacturer of embossed paper for a supply of that material, as none was made in this country. A little room was fitted up in their cozy, home, and four or five girls employed. The next year Miss Howland looked about for novelties, and was able to provide her brothers with a larger assortment of samples when he started on his canvass.

Many of these valentines were quite elaborate and costly. and among them were the first valentines of which satin and silk formed a part. That year the orders were more than doubted. and so was the working force in the factory. A more commodious room was utilized, in which a large table was built.

and around this table toe bright young employes. mostly young girls. friends of the family, would gather and copy the designs made by Miss flow land. hi time quantities of enameled colored pictures and other novelties were imperted from Germany, but as these had to he cut Out with scissors the enterprising manufacturer had a set of eles made and used for that She then conceived the idea of embossing the little lithographic ornaments. She wrote to the firm in Germany.

telling them of her plan and that she would have the cutting and embossing dies mace and sent to them. But that house knew a gaol thing when they a it. They declined MissHowlane's offer, but had dies of their own made in Germany at smaller cost. A few months later embossed and cut pictures were on the market. but the enty advantage the originator of the ilea received was in being able to buy tise-n in the more convenient form.

May baskets were also made by this enterprising young woman, and were innte popular in their day. The first very elaborate May basket she made. one that retailed for lie, was bought by a young man and hung on the front door of his fiancee's residence. But when that thrifty miss received it she almost broke the young spendthrift's heart by telling him that a roan who was fool enough to pay 11,) for a May basket would not suit her for a husband, ani straightway dismissed him. MiS4 1-lowland laughingly remarked after relatirer this incioent that she never again made so expensive a Slay basket.
