Mrs. Margaret E. Armour has given $40,000 to the Kansas City Woman's Christian association to establish a home for worthy old people. 

Miss Fay Leonard of Idaho, who has been in the census bureau at Washington three years, has been promoted to the plant and seed department. 

Miss Helen Gould has sent Dr. Tolman to Europe, with a photographer, to study social conditions and report features that America might do well to adopt. 

Mrs. Rose Fanning, one of the best known women in St. Louis and who was principal of the Pestalozzi school since 1874, is dead. One of her early pupils was Sol Smith Russell, the actor, now deceased. 

Mrs. Maria Bartholomew, promoter and leading spirit of the Old Colored Veterans' World's Fair association, organized to promote the interests of the exposition among negroes, is the direct descendant of King Hennilok, a South African monarch. 

Mrs. Margaret Nave, Kind Edward's oldest subject, has lately died at her home in Guernsey. For 110 years she preserved her health, strength and even her eyesight. She was an old friend of Queen Victoria and was known throughout the United Kingdom. 

Mrs. Charles King of Corpus Christi, Tex., owns more land than any other woman in the world. Her husband, one of the famous cattle barons, left her 1,300,000 acres in Nueces, Hidalgo, Starr and Cameron counties, and there are now about 65,000 cattle on her ranges. This vast estate must be kept intact until her oldest grandchild comes of age.
