When monsieur" turns you are face
to face with u striking figure. Rosa
Bonheur is below the average height OF
her Sex, but even in her old age she Is
broadly and strongly built and carries
her head with Il freedom that used to DO
defiance but is now simple dignity
Her features one calls harsh and then
withdraws tho word; they arc small,
regular, even delicate since the roses of
health have gone out of her checks, but
every line shows decision and forcc of
character. Her hair was grizzlcd five
years ago but now it is beautifully
white and softens her expressions; she
still wears it cut and parted like a

has brilliant hazel eyes which smile

had boyish loneliness; at sixty-nine,
if her face in rcpose is almost stern, it
becomes when she speaks clear, gcntle
and benign. AT times it shines with
the light of intelligence behind it; it is
glorious, illumincd.
She has been all her life q most indie
fatigablo worker, rising before daylight
and painting until shutdown. In the
late afternoon of her life she is relax
ing this regime. When the sun is bright
and her canvas tempts her there is a
dark-eyed little French girl who sits at
her feet and reads aloud, rising now and
then to touch Il chord on tho piano. She
listens and paints, and the brush goes
best when the book or the music
reaches pleasing passage. When
the voice or music fails this
dainty French maiden brings long
gray ovcrcoat and together they go out
under tho sky, sometimes walking and
sometimes driving two handsome bay
horses, which are Mile. Bonheur's pets,
and which return her affection with
wonderful intelligence. Whatever the
direction of walk or drive, it always be-

The Silk Stocking League Fails
in It's Aspirations Officers
Elected.
Sam Nichols fifth weekly caucus met
at the Clifton last evening and actually
elected officers for the Union League of
st. Paul.
SeY president, as was planned, because
that sturdy old Scotehman failed to re-
nit, as per request of the financial end
of the concern. ''Gov. Ramsey isn't as
soft a mark as some people imag-
ined," remarked one of the mem
bels at the close of the meet
ing last evening. "The plan
was to make him president just for the
sake of giving the thing tone and rak-
lug in a few of his surplus shekels."
When the steering" committee
learned that Gov. Ramsey didn't want
the office, Oil Inspector Nichols fixed
up the following nice little slate:n
President, Walter H. Sanborn; first wee
president, Samuel H. Nichols; second vice
president, w. w. Erwin; secretary, William
; Bole; treasurer, George W. Lamb; execu-
tive committee. +. G. Ingersoll w. j.
Freanev, E; N. Kuby and r. E. Moves.
Stanford Newell was let out when the
offices were ''divvied" because he so far
forget himself as to go to the Newman
ket instead of the caucus. However,
as six of the nine officers elected reside
in the Seventh ward, it's quite likely
that Capt. Burger, Col. Kiefer, Capt.
Harris and their friends will
think that that modest body
of Republicans residing On the
hilI' have quite their share of the
Offices. "a number of new members
were elected" remarked Grand Ex-
aminer Nichols, ''but as there seemed to
be suspicion that Fred DriScoll, Bill
Lindeke, Tom Cochran, Col. Merriam
and William Bickel didn't have the
amount of their initiation fee along their
election was put off until next week."

The state treasury was $4,000 richer

Western-having during the day paid
their taxes on their gross earnings for
the year 1899. A forcble illustration of
the rapid growth and development of
the Vermillion range was given in the
report nf the Duluth & Iron Range, this
being the only company reporting yes
terday which showed an increase in
gross earnings over 1888. A year ago
this road paid about $4,000; yesterday

"Amorita," one of the brightest little
lyrical gems on the stage, was given at
the Newmarket last evening by Jules
Grau's Comic Opera company. Some
of the airs are very catchy and melodi-
Gus, and sure to hold an audience.
Harry Brown as Castrucci created con-
siderable amusement by his funny
speeches. Miss Marie Greenwood sang
the part of Amorita very cleverly, and
received merited. applause. w. P.
GuiberSOn, as Fra BombaSda, sang very
well, and was quite the bold and AFRO
CANT dictator. The chorus was hardly
as strong as it should have been, but
there were several good voices in it.
and strength was all it lacked. Harry
Browns topical song was good. although
if there had been more sung and less
story telling required the audience
would undoubtedly have appreciated
it much more.
This evening the ''Brigands" will be
the bill. Harry Brown will sing his
celebrated topical song, "a Matter of
Taste" and Miss Greenwood Will bring
out ''Arditi'S Waltz Song" and ''SuWa-
nee River"

To Protect Plate Glass in Building.

Chicago journal.
Passing along Dearborn street yester-
day saw crowd watching closely the
placing in position of some enormous
panes of glass in handsome new build
ing. The glass was the best French
plate, and the Workmen handled it as
carefully as If it were worth something
more than weeks wages. The task of
putting it in place was no sooner COM
pleted than one of the Workmen grabbed
pot of whiting and with big brush
daubed a lot of meaningless marks on
it. | thought it about as silly a
thing as man could do, and with
the usual reportorial curiosity asked
the foreman why he allowed it. The
answer was crusber. "Why," said he,
1--WE have to mark them that way. or
they'd be smashed in no time" NV
look of amazement doubtless prompted
him to further explanation. for he said !:
You see, the worken lumber around q
new building get in the custom of shov-
ing lumber, etc., though the open sash
before the glass is put in. They would
continue to do it even after the glass is
i'll if we didn't do something to attract
their attention. That's the reason you
always see new windows daubed with
glaring white marks. Even if careless
workman does start to shove a stick of
timber through costly plate glass he
will stop short when his eye catches the
danger sign. That white mark is just
signal which says, Look out; you'll
break HE it you are not CAREFUL"
