The front is $50 feet long. The depth

The house is three stories high, the art gal

Other collections also will be placed on the

will be of bronzes. The top story, where the

Sir Charles Warren Is most extraordinary
person. if we may believe the English news
paper stories about him. He doesn't seem to
have the slightest qualification for tho posi-
tion of chief Of police, and the Office came to
him only because he was born with patrician
blood in his veins.
He has been a soldier. and fairly good
one. too-serving abroad-and therein, per-
haps, lies much of the secret of his Ill success.

men attend to the e,ecutive part-tne real

A oueen Of the Congo.

DR.. Wolf says that while he was ascending
the great Sankuru afauent of the Congo
number of the wild Bassongo- -Mino, who had
never before seen white man, suddenly
popped up out of the bushes ono day, and
aimed their arrows at the visitors as their
steamer was approaching the shore only
about a rod away. He says he has no sdoubt
that the next instant volley OF arrows
would have poured into the little crowd on
deck had not q woman in the dress OF q
native queen suddenly leaped among the
throng Of savages, struck to the ground tie
bow Of one man who was just ready to let
his missile fly, and in tone Of authority
bade the rest Of the crowd to unbend their
weapons and also their warlike front. The
brief command and cautionary gesture OF
this picturesque female had magical effect
upon her warrior subjects, who relaxed their
bows and grinned sheepishly at the pale
faces, who were nervously beginning to
finger their revolvers.-Boston Transcript.

Mr.. Lusk at first regarded the whole thing
Kas joke. But, remembering that such an
J organ had been taken from the Mitre square
victim, he took the box to the London hos

cause OF one cross
ing track. In crowded metropolitan dis
trict like Whitechapel where any given
track would be criss-crossed by tens Of thou
sands of other tracks inside Of an hour, the
task of following the murderer by the scent
would be altogether beyond the power of
even the keenest nosed dog.
And even il Sir Charles experiments had
been successful to marked degree, the re-
suits would have justified no sanguine ex-
pectations. For the experiments were made
early in the morning when few people would
be stirring, and the chance of obliteration
by subsequent trails was at the minimum,
whereas the search for the murderer would,
very likely, have to be made at busy time
of the day.
When Sir Charles lost the dogs he was try
ing them in the open country. They had
been taken to common in the suburbs and
there 'slaid on scent after scent"
Whether they showed any progress in the
noble art Of man hunting is not stated, but
when let loose on what proved to be their last
run they were "lost sight OF altogether" and
''the men in charge were frantic" Certain
carpers at Sir Charles method Of running the
police department have suggested that ''per-
haps some smart dog fancier has made grand
haul of the prize hounds"
It is quite possible that this last exploit OF
Sir Charles Warr>n will move tho London
publications that sail under comic colors to
the printing Of cartoons bearing upon the
subject. Punch has already devoted consid'
cradle attention to tho Whitechapel matter,

Joining his command the same day he re-
mained in the service until the close OF tho
war.
After the surrender young Martin returned
TO his parents home in Perry, Houston
county. Ga. where he devoted himself to
study and the reading of the standard Eng
lsh authors.
He taught for a year or two. reading law
at the same time, and at the age of 10 was
admitted to the bar. For eight years he ed
tied and published a weekly paper and prac-
ticed law. In 1SSJ he was elected, without
opposition, member of the Georgia legisla-
ture.
His inclination for newspaper work was
stronger than his taste for law, and in 1883
he removed to Savannah to become an edi-
torial writer on The Morning News of that
city. In 1886 he was offered the managing
editors chair on The Jacksonville, Fla,
the position that the opposition daily, The
News Herald, determined to secure him and
did. When the papers were merged he con-
tinued in his position.
At the outbreak of the epidemic he bravely
resolved to face the pestilence. He felt that
it would be shirking duty to go away him
self, and chose to risk his life rather than to
ioin the refugees and leave his work and the
responsibilities Of his position to others. The
heroism shines out conspicuously in the quiet
firmness of the man; in the fact that his de-
cison was not prompted by spirit OF bra
vado. He was not courting the bubble rep
utation. and from the first felt that the
chances of living through the epidemic were
against him.
So he sent his family to point OF safety
and remained at his desk night after night
He was man OF the finest traits Of char
acter, and by example as well as by written
precept made his influence felt daily through
out his state. His private correspondence
showed that from the first OF the epidemic
hc calculated that the chances were against
his living through it. On the third day after
he was stricken he had the fatal black vomit

Episcopal church, conducted the funeral SER

For the benefit of these the newspaper men OF
Savannah, Ca, have undertaken to raise a
memorial fund. Every newspaper worker in
the United States is requested to contribute
something to this fund, and the city editor or
some man en- every paper is asked to take
charge of the subscriptions in his office. AL

LONDON'S DISGRACE.
SIR CHARLES WARREN AND HIS PACK
OF HOUNDS.
After He Tried Them BY Letting Them
Loose on His Own Trail He Turned Them
Out to Follow Other Trails, and They
Got Away-A Horrible Letter.

London had begun to forget all about the
horrible Whitechapel murders, when one
morning not long ago the great metropolis
was shaken from the innermost recesses Of
the city to the elegant suburbs that have
been lately built for the occupation of the
wealthy and cultivated by the announcement
that Sir Charles Warren's dogs were loose.
Sir Charles had for some time been train
ing these dogs, with view 10 havinp them
track and tree the human fend who has been
operating in Whitechapel, whenever that
shrewd ghoul should kill another victim.
All the world remembers how much Sir
Charles banked upon his bloodhounds and
how he made himself the laughing stock Of
everybody by letting them chase his august
person one very early morning not long ago.
One would imagine that his experience on
that occasion would have shaken his faith in
the wisdom Of the scheme, for, SO the ac-
count runs, they only succeeded in making
even fair showing one time in three.
The fact Is, as almost any one conversant

"LONG JOHN" WENTWORTH
A CHARACTER IN THE EARLY HIS
TORY OF CHICAGO.

A Nstivo Of New Hampshire's Rockbound
Hills He Drifted to Illinois When but
Young Man and Became q Potent Factor
In a New Civilization.
Everybody has read of him. It was an of
week when the papers failed to print some
good story about, or amusing recollection OF,
"Long John" Wentworth.
John Wentworth was one Of the most
noted pioneers of Illinois. He was born in
the quiet little town of Sandwich, N. H., on
March 5, 1915, and was a descendant on both
sides from the earliest settlers OF New Eng
land. His paternal grandfather was John
Wentworth, Jr., member Of the Continental
--.e-ees from New Hampshire, whose name
II signed to the original q. - ~ e.d~~
alton. Col. Amos Cogweu, distinguished
officer of the revolutionary war, was his
maternal grandfather.
John Wentworth, after having been grad
uated from Dartmouth college, began to feel
great yearning to see the boundless west.
The desire finally grew into decision. On
Monday, Oct. 3, 1886, he left the paternal
roof tree with the general idea OF going so1ne-
where, and 500 in his trousers pocket. He
was strapping youth of six feet six inches,
though he did not then weigh 800 pounds as
he did during his later years. Upon his
journey he Travelled by post coach to Con-
cord, N H.; thence across the Green Noun
tains to Troy, N. Y; thence to Schenectady;
thence, for the first time, on the cars to
Utica, N. Y; thence, for the first time, on
the canal to Tonawanda, N. T.; thence by
stage to Niagara Falls; thence on steamboat,
for the first time, to Buffalo; thence on
another steamboat to Detroit. arriving there
Oct. 13 He didn't think he was far enough
west then, so he sent his trunk on sailing
vessel to Chicago, took stage for Michigan
City, Ind, and on the ensuing day set out on
foot for Chicago. Several old residents after
ward remembered seeing Wentworth en- route
to Chicago, tall, dusty, gritty and independ-
ent as he strobe toward the goal where he
was to win fame and fortune.
He arrived in Chicago on Oct. 25. It was
