Passing of a Grand Character Cornelia E Scovel of Walnut Street
Cornelia E Scovel a Philadelphia resident of 4041 Walnut died last Wednesday. She was a gifted speaker and a pioneer for women demanding matrons at police stations, a reform granted by Mayor William B Smith. She married William G Moorhead, later James Matlack Scovel, cherished ally of Frances Willard and a leader in the Women's Christian Temperance Union. A Presbyterian and devoted Christian, she championed liberation and humanitarian causes, while her marriages tied her to notable eras and figures including the Moorhead brothers of Pittsburgh and Secretary Edwin M Stanton praised Scovel’s partner as a patriot. Her death marks a loss to the poor, the oppressed, and the cause of reform.

Incredible Nickel Cane Carried by Senator Jones
A Nevada millionaire senator keeps a walking cane that holds 100 nickels. The tale began when Jones, then a San Francisco bank president, couldn't pay fare on a streetcar and longed for a stick with coin storage.
