How an Artist Made His Fortune.

a cousin, an artist, living in New
York City. He has genius, but no
tact. He stubbed along, almost
always hard up, because he was
scheming on some big plan. He was
full OF hopes that always hoped he
would realize. One day, less than a
year ago, he came to me in New
York and said: "I'm in for for
tune, and want you to go in with
me-" l didn't go. l hadn't enough
faith in it. His scheme was the max
ing of these photographs in
side jewelry. He had invented a
process for doing it, and wanted $500
to patent it and start his business. l
didn't take much interest in it, and he
went along without me. He has
made SIC, 900 up till now. His biggest
hit was on Mrs. Cleveland's photo
graphs. He can put her handsome
face into a lady's brooch, into a LADY,
earring, into a finger ring, into cuff
buttons, or into the center of beauti-
full plaque or piece Of pottery. He
did big thing on General Grants

Emperor Frederick had a consulta-
ton, and decided that the bronchitis
was limited, and that no pneumonia
was present. Mackenzie fears pneu-
monla will set in in consequence of his

the attack of bronchitis alone does not
explain. The doctors have been sum-
moned to join in another consultation,

ton remained the same. The fever

The Senate resumed the considera
ton of the bill for the admission OF
the State of So,th Dakota and for the
organization OF the territory of North
Dakota. Spooner addressed the Sen
ate in favor of the bill. He argued
that the question of the division OF
the territory had been submitted to
the whole people and had been de-
cided in favor of the division by
majority of 5000. AS to the suggestion
made by Butler that 10000 voters
OF Dakota had been SO Indifferent to
the question that they had stayed from
the polls, and that, therefore, the vote
was not a fair expression of the popu-
lar will, he drew a distinction be-
tween cases of voters in the Northern
States who stayed away from the polls
by indifference, and in the Southern
States who were kept away
BY INTIMIDATION.
AS to the claim made by Butler that
there was no danger to be apprehend-
ed from the imperial States, he ques-
toned it, and asserted that the great
empire State of Texas did menace, by
its monstrous territory, the interests
of other sections of the country. The
preponderance in political influences
of the empire State OF Texas was
not due to the wealth, loyalty
or intelligence of her people. 1t was
due to two things: her solid Demo
cracy and her territory. No more
such empire States were wanted in
the Union. He did not believe that
South Dakota wanted to be admitted
by this Congress, but he thought he
might safely prophesy that before
long there would be elected Congress
that would recognize her rights and
gladly welcome her. The bill went
over till to-morr. W, and after the
executive session the Senate ad-
journed.
