sumably, therefore, brave, for no other
kind of man will accept the Persian
mission. 1t il an odd fact, and yet quite
a natural one, that the ten years or so of
this mission have given us a series of
most interesting sketches of wild life and
adventure, and very entertaining book
of comedy, pathos and drama might be
compiled out of the reports of Ministers
Benjamin and Winston and the latter's
secretary, Count Wolf Won Schierbrand
When during President Cleveland's
first administration the Hon. Bayliss w.
Hanna of Indiana was offered the Per-
sian mission, be replied with somewhat
profane emphasis, they say, that it was
not fit for An Indiana man and went to
Argentina instead. To journey for many

with Persia are not more important than
with Kamchatka, and while two or three
Americans per year may call on the min

not care to talk about their past.
Samuel Greene Wheeler Benjamin.
who established the United States lega-
ton at Teheran in 1888. was remarkably
well qualified, for he was born at Argos
in Greece. His father was a missionary
in the orient-died, in fact, in CONSTANT
nople-and there was family sympathy
with the people of that region. Never
theless, Mr.. Benjamin resigned in 1885.
Colonel Frederic s. Winston in a mo
ment of recklessness, according to his
statement, accepted the honor and suf-
fered accordingly" He grew tired OF
it very soon, got away by a worse trip
from Teheran than he made in getting
to it and is now prominent and wealthy
citizen of Chicago. President Cleveland
next appointed DIR. Spencer Pratt of Al
ALBANIA, also a new man, young and
brave, and he got hard hit by one of
those concessions" for minis, railroads,
etc. which the shah issues to foreigners
when in a good humor and quietly can
cells after they leave the country and are
invoking capital at home.
To him succeeded Hon. Truxton Beale
of California, son Of the brave General
E. F. Beale, who was such favorite
with General Grant. Mr.. Beale came
home as soon as he could get leave and
was transferred to Athens.
Hon. Watson r. Sperry of Delaware
was the latest minister and is now sue
ceeded by Mr. Mcdonald. The salary
attached TO the place is $1,000 year.
Mr.. Sperry had made record as an en-
terprising and successful journalist and

Mrs. w. i. Elnranca

Theater goers of this city are looking
forward with pleasureable anticipation
to the coming engagement of Mrs. w.
j. Florence at Lighthouse theater for
one night, on Saturday evening next.
Mrs. Florence will be seen in her cele-
brated creation of Mrs. General Gilflory
in the famous comedy of 1.-THE Mighty
Dollar" and her portrayal of that char
acter will be remembered, no doubt, by
the larger portion of our theater going
public for the quantity humorous
JUNCTION with which Mrs. Florence en-
dows her speech. Possibly no Ameri-
can actress has succeeded in gaining
greater renOwn than Mrs. Florence in
the role Of Mrs. General Gilflory. Ger
tsinly none have scored so many tri-
umphs on the stage, none greater than
those that she has won in THE Mighty
Dollar and those who saw her in the
former days will no doubt be anxious
TO again lay their plaudits at her feet.
Mrs. Florence still gives that close at
tention to detail which characterized
the performances of "The Mighty Dol
lar" when it was reigning comedy
favorite, and during the production in
this city this effort will be mos eagerly
attended to. During the production of
this comedy Mrs. Florence will wear a
number of gorgeous and elaborate
gowns from the the fairy hand of the
great Felix, of Paris, which are her.

and she cooked all the food for her
household by an open fireplace and a
brick oven. Yes; and when she was
forty years of age, she was already an
old lady whose best days were over.
Her shoulders were bent and her joints
enlarged by hard work, and she wore
spectacles and cap. Her great grand
daughter, with all the modern con-
veniences for comfort, refinement and
luxury, may be as charming and at
tractive at forty-five as at twenty.
Especially is this true if she preserves
her health and beauty by the use of

from the falls. The falls are in the
beautiful park maintained by the state

old, and its age and lofty site render it
exceedingly picturesque and well worth
visit. The government steamer Gen.
eral Barnard, belonging to the United
States army engineering department, is
to be at the disposal of the entertaining
committee for excursions to Fort SMELL

mel just a year later, brigadier early in
1864 and full major general late in 1855.
He was in every battle of the Army of
the Potomac except one, wa wounded
three times, was three times promoted
for conspicuous ~gallantry and yet was
not very well known to the nation at
large at the close of the war, for brave
men, ever great generals, were then nu-
merous. The extraordinary fact in his
career is that he gained in military repu-
tation, SO far as the country at large is
concerned, much more rapidly from 1859
to 1880 than during the war.
Sept. /. 1866, he ceased to be a ma
jor general of volunteers and started
anew as a colonel in the regular army,
yet he has once more regained the higher
ranks. In 1875 he subjugated the Chey-
ennes, Kiowas and Comanches Of the
Staked Plain, in 1876 the Sioux Of Mon
tana, in 1878 the Bannocks. and in later
years the Apaches.
He was born in Westminster, Mass,
Aug. 8, 1889, received an academic edu-
cation and had just started in mercan-
tile life in Boston when the war started.
He at once began to fit himself for the
service and was soon well informed in
the duties of a soldier. He has been
blamed by defenders Of the Indian and
has had a few rather bitter personal
controversies. but the western people
swear by him.

A FAMOUS AMERICAN ARTIST.

A Milwaukee Boy who IL a Great Man In
Europe.
Very impressive and worthy of close
study is Carl Mars picture Of 1.-THE
Fl~agellants," now On exhibition in the
loan collection at the Art palace of the
Columbian exposition. It represents a
procession in Florence of the famous re-
ligious order that spread throughout
southern Europe with such amazing gen.
eralness in the thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries and is masterful in its charac-
terization of religious fanaticism. TWAS

group of women at n table and chill

blending of light and shade, the effect
of the sunlight shining through the
green foliage.
There is an interesting story connected
with Marr's first great picture. It was
