Death of John II. NOyes, Founder Of the
Oneida Community.
Probably not one person in twenty who
reads that John Humphrey Noyes is dead
viii know who or what John Humphrey
Noyes was. Yet every reader Of newspapers
has heard Of the Oneida so-called free love
community, in Madison county, N. Y
Well, the man whose death at Niagara
Falls, Ont, the newspapers have noted, was
the founder of this community. A singular
history was his, and there have not been
many persons whose real doctrines were more
misunderstood
Noyes was man of fascinating manners
and fine literary culture and taste. He was
born in Brattleboro, Vt, in 1911. From
boy he was a dreamer, person OF deeply
devout and meditative nature. n Hep
worth Dixon, the English writer, visited the
Oneida community some years ago, and
wrote his impressions of it and of its leader.
Noyes he describes as a ''tal, pale man, with
sandy hair and beard, gray, dreamy eyes,
good mouth, white temples, and noble fore
head" There was something lon-like in his
face and shaggy head. He resenlbled Carlyle

noted Gen jeff Thompson. He became ad-

The present library has had wonderful
history 1T was founded by congress in 1902,
and 5000 books were selected in London for
it. John Randolph was one of its strongest
supporters. When the British soldiers looted
the Capitol building in 1914 they used the
books from the library to kindle the fire
which destroyed the building About this
time Thomas jefferson had got into financial
straits, which compelled him to sell his very
valuable library of 5000 volumes. Congress
purchased them. These books, wrung by
poverty from poor old Jeffers on, were the
nucleus of the new library.
The library was Then i'll the room now occu-

WASHINGTON, April 20.-This nation is at

long attempts ut legislation in the matter in
the light OF the evident needs on the subject

TIE NEW CHINESE MINISTER.

His excellency, Chang Yen Woon, is the
new Chinese minister to the United States.
He is said to be tall and handsome. The last
part of the statement seems rather startling.
Mr.. Woon is picturesque-looking sitting
there in his quilted petticoats and queer little
cap, like the pictures on Chinese tea box,
but one would not at first call him handsome.
However, he might grow on one, in time,
becoming, like Katisha in ''The Iikado, an
