A Traitors Ending.

John Fiske tells the old story of Bene-
dict Arnold's treason in an article of fas-
cinating interest written for tbe atlantic.
What may be new to many readers is
Mr.. Fiske's statement that all the family
tradition goes to show that the last years
of Benedict Arnold in London were
years of bitter remorse and sclf-reproach.
The great name which he had so gallant
ly won and so wretchedly lost left him
no repcse by night or day. The iron
frame, which had withstood the fatigucs
of so many trying battlefelds and still
more trying marches through the wilder
ness, broke down at last under the slow
torture of lost friendships and merited
disgrace.
In the last sad days in London, in
June, 1901, the family tradition says
that Arnold's mind kept reverting to bis
old friendship with Washington. He
had always carefully preserved the Amer
ican uniform which he wore on the day
when he made his escape to the Vulturc
and now as, broken in spirit and weary
of life, he felt the last moments coming,
he called for this uniform and put it on,
and decorated himself with the epaulette.
and swordknot which Washington had
given him after the victory of Saratoga.
Let me die, said he, Gin this old uni
form in which fought my battles. May
God forgive me for ever putting on any
other"

The Surrender Of the Commune.

Next day (May %, 1917 it was gen.
orally known that the "Versaillais," as
they were called, had entered the capital.
Then opened the gloomicst page in the
history of France. On one side were
the vandals of the commune, doing their
best to burn Paris to the ground, muir
dering innocent hostages, unchaining all
the horrors of civil war; exhibiting all
the heroism, every act of ferocity and
cowardice, into which human nature when
unrestrained will rush. On the other
side we're the troops, irritated by the
struggle, humiliated by the duty that
had fallen upon them, exasperated
by so many horrors. Torrents of fratri-
cidal blood deluged- the pavement of the
great F=encf city. While the struggle
was going on, there could be seen arriv-
ing at Versailles, escorted by the soldiers,
gangs of prisoners, the savage rabble
who had plundered and spread con6agra-
ton, and who, in blind obedience to
their leaders, had committed unparalleled
acts of barbarism. They arrived on the
great Place d'Armes, under bright and
broiling sun. The persplration ran from
their faces, blackened with gunpowder
and dust. Their clothes were in tatters,
smelling of smoke and petroleum. There
were women, with features distorted by
hatred and anger; precocious children,
casting stealthy look around them; and
old men, crushed by defeat, with patches
of clotted blood on their white hair and
boards, marking them out as apostles OF
revolution. Some, who had been jolted
amidst the lumber heaped on the carts,
were taken out and put flat on the
ground. They ley, stiff and motionless,
with their eyes wide open and staring,
as if, after long fit of madness, they
had lost all consciousness of an outer
world. The captives were separated into
groups, and sent to improvised prisons,
where an attempt was made to shelter
this army of disorder. They had added
shame to defeat, who had with fire and
sword ravaged Paris.-Harper.

The Indians Of Northwest Canada

DR.. Boas, in the British Association
report on the Northwestern tribes of the
Dominion of Canada, describes the In.
dians of the Pacific coast as being able.
bodied and muscular, with the uppe,
limbs, owing to the Strengthening of the
arms and chest by the constant use of the
paddle, generally better developed than
the lower ones. They have keen sight,
but in old age frequently become blear-
eyed. Their mental capacity is high, as
is proved by the state of their culture.
Whiteness of skin and slenderness of
limbs are considered among the principal
beauties of men and women, and long,
black hair of women. In some of the
tales red hair is described as a peculiar
beauty of women. Red paint on the
face, tight fitting bracelets and anklets
of copper, nose and ear ornaments OF
varlegated haliotis shells, and hair strewed
with eagledown, add to the natural
charms. The fact that in honor of the
arrival of friends the house is swept and
strewed with sand, and that the people
bathe at such occasions, shows that clean
illness is appreciated. The current ex.
preston is, that the house is so cleaned
that no bad smell remains to offend the
guest. For the same reason the Indian
takes repeated baths before praying, "that
he may be of agreeable smell to the
deity" The Indian is grave and self.
composed in all his actions; and playing
is considered undignifed and even bad.
In the Tsimshian language the term foi
play means to talk to no purpose; and
doing anything to no purpose is con.
temptible to the Indian. He is rash in
anger, hut does not easily lose control
pover his actions. He sits down or lies
down sullenly for days without partak-
ing of food, and when he rises his first
thought is, not to take revenge, but to
show that he is superior to his adversary.
Great pride and vanity combined with
the most susceptible jealousy, character
izc all actions of the Indian. He watches
that he may receive his proper share of
honor at festivals; he can not endure to
be lidiculed for even the slightest mis-
take; he carefully guards all his actions,
and locks for due honor to be paid to
him by friends, strangers, and subordi.
mates. To be strong and able to sustain
the pangs of hunger are evidently con-
sidered worthy of praise by the Indians;
but foremost of all is wealth. 1t is con-
sidcred the duty of every man to have
pity upon the poor and hungry. Women
arc honored for their chastity and for be-
ing true to their husbands; children, for
taking care of their parents; men, for
skill and daring in hunting and for
bravery in war.

Field spent restless night at Police

but was allowed to rest on lounge

1920 a. m. he was taken In
custody to the Court House In the Park.
He seemed sick but appeared game

Field spoke to none of his companions,
but sat with one hand in the breast OF his
overcoat looking stoldly out of the win
dow on the other side of the car.
When the party reached the Court
House Field was taken into the District
Attorneys Office. Several friends were
waiting there for him, but only one or
two were allowed to see him, including
his partner and his lawyer.
The corridors of the Court House
were crowded with people who had come
TO get glimpse Of the un-
fortunate man, and he could
scarcely wedge his way through throngs
that blockaded the District Attorneys
Office door. Many well known Wall
street people. who were business ac-
quaintances of Field in his days of pros
perity, were among the sight-seers.

JUDGE KNAPP IN COURT.
No Charge to the Grand Jury
Hallinger's Case.

Judge Knapp appeared pale and weak
when he entered the Court House today
to call the list of cases. This should
have been done last Tuesday, but owing
to the illness of Judge Knapp the
formality was postponed week.
The number of lawyers present
was smaller than on any other similar
occasion for a number of years. The
number of causes to be tried is small,
there being but thirtv-seven Supreme
Court cases on the printed calendar,
ninety-one cases in the Circuit Court and
thirty-seven appeal cases. Many of these,
however, are oases held over from the
last term of court.
The Grand Jury, having been sworn In
by Judge LiDpincoft a week ago, was
absent from court, for Judge Knapp had
no particular charge to make to 1t.
1t had been expected by some persons
that the question of the resentepce of
Hallinger would come before the Court
today. but it did not. No reason was as-
signed for this, but it is possible that the

FRANCE TO HELP RUSSIA.

Diplomatic Relations with Bulgaria Sus-
pended for Slight Cause.
PARIS. Dec. Is, 1S9i.-It is reported that
diploin tic relations with Bulgaria have
been suspended between France and
Bulgaria as result of the refusal of the
Bulgarian Government to accede to the
demand made by France that a
French journalist. NJ Chadonina,
who was recently expelled from
Bulgaria, should be allowed to
return, aud that an apology should be
offered to France for the alleged unjust
treatment of one Of her citizens.
This diplomatic quarrel. in view of the
relations existing between France and
Russia, the sentiments of Russia toward
Bulgaria, and the dislike the Russian
Government is said to entertain for NJ
Stambuloff. is the one great subject for
discussion today.
France, 1t is evident, has been trying
to play into the hand of Russia In the
great Balkan game, and the
next move on the board is looked for

cred strange that this incident should
have occurred almost Immediately after

still causing SO much uneasiness In the
