Japan, in science, education, knowl-

they have never made friends with

therefore religion, which is sorrows

also the impulse which would make
them original as we'll as energetic. -

A True Incident of Life In Creole Mining

Creole Camp, Colo, is at present
perfect whirlpool of excitement.
Rich mines are being discovered every

THE COUPON CRAZE.

Here is little story for which every
reader may furnish his own moral: Ina
New England city bright young woman
who earns her own living had saved S7j
dollars with which to go to the World
Fair. A few weeks ago a sensational
Boston newspaper started Contest for
free trips to the fair. The young wom-
ans friends thought they would sur.
prise her with one of those free trips
They began buying the newspaper cou,
pons and sending them in to be credited
to her. Some indiscreet friend let hel
know what was going on. As her friends
were spending SO much money for hel
benefit, she felt bound in honor to assist
In the end hel $75 went into the pool
and in the total over $400 were spent
But this sum was not quite enough. The
free trip went to somebody who had 20.
500 coupons against her 10000. She gets
nothing for the S400 spent in her behalf,
and she will not go to the fair. Hundreds
more tried and failed. The newspaper
pocketed thousands of dollars for which
it made no return. But did the news.

Gen. Hiram Berdan, the well known
inventor of the Berdan rife, died sud
denly in Washington last week Friday.
Gen. Berdan was man who enjoyed
high social as well as official distinction.
He was colonel of the first United States
sharpshooters on November Both, 1861,
and was brevetted Brigadier General of
volunteers for gallant and meritorious
service in the battle of Charlottesville,
and Major General of volunteers for
bravery al the battle of Gettysburg.
Gen. Berdan was for several years in
Russia and because of his services to
that government was awarded a consid-
cradle sum of money. He entered into
contracts with Russia for furnishing the
Cars army with large supplies of the
celebrated rifle bearing his name. A
daughter of General Berdan was married
to Marion Crawford, the well known
writer, and his sister was the first wife
Of ex-Vice President Morton. General
Berdan's death was due to apoplexy. A
number of Vermont veterans were en-
rolled in the Berdan sharpshooters, one
whom we recall-being the late Chas.
E. Graves of Bennington.

SHE MARRIED ACHEROKEE CHIEF.

A few weeks silce we noted the death
of Mrs. Delight S. Boudinot in Troy, N.
Y, and promised to find further particu-
lars. The authority we relied on to fur
nish the infoI nation failed us and so the
romantic story remains untold IN our
columns. In an exchange we find fur
ther remarks upon the death of this re-
markable woman. The name recalls
some events which were of great interest
a little over 80 years ago. Mrs. Boudinot
was born in Pawlet IN the year 1900, and
was consequently SO years of age at the
time of her death. Her maiden name
was Delight Sargent, sister of ex-Lieut-
Gov. Sargent of this state, and she went
as missionary teacher to the Cherokees
i'll 1927, residing at Brainerd and also at
Red Clay in Georgia. When the Chero-
KEGS moved in to the Indian Territory
she married Elias Boudinot chief of the
Cherokee tribe, who had been educated
at the Cornwall school in Connecticut.
Boudinot was noble man, who had as
sisted Rev. Mr.. Worcester greatly in
translation work, and is spoken of as
having been fine specimen physically
and intellectually of the Indian race. Yet
the marriage of Miss Sargent to Col.
Boudinot created great excitement In
1888 the Cherokoes were wrenched from
their Georgia home, and removed into
the Arkansas country, not far from one
fourth of the whole population of 10000
dying on the sad journey. One of the
worst results of the transference was the
alienation and party strife created by the
selling of their lands in Georgia. Mr..
Boudinot was one of the signers of the
treaty making this sale and for this act
he, with others was assassinated on the
22nd of June, 1889. After her husbands S
death Mrs. Boudinot returned to Man
chester. VT, with her children, the Uni
ted States government maFing a grant to
her for these children. She taught for a
time young ladies' school, and did mis-
sionary work in Troy for about 20 years.
Mrs. Boudinot's life was as eventful as
it was long.

THE REHRING SEA rR1RrNAL.

Hon. E. J. Phelps produced decided
sensation in PARIS Wednesday by his
comments upon the honesty of Great
Britain in the premises. The telegraphic
report says: In the Behring sea arbitra-
ton court Mr.. Phelps continued his ar
gument for the rejection of the supple
mentary report of the Behring sea com
mission.
''If l had been guiding the policy of
the United States" said Mr.. Phelps,
when Great Britain presented the cOun-
ter-case at the last minute, would then
and there have refused to proceed with
the arbitration. Great Britains conduct
was not only unjust, but deeply humil-
iating for the United States"
Sir Richard Webster interposed the
remark that Great Britain had an
nonnced in her counter-case the predic-
ton at future date of the Behring sea
commissions report.
Mr.. Phelps said he had not been aware
of this. The whole report he said, was
untrustworthy, for although preliminary
investigation had been made conjointly
by the British and American commits
sioneTs, the reports had been drawn sep
arately and the British report, therefore,
had been neither answered nor COM
mented upon by the United States. The
British report contained, moreover, a
large amount of hearsay arguments, con-
lectures and other matters unsuitable as
evidence before the court.
Sir Charles Russell said he had not ex-
pected such a discussion Of the legal
character of the evidence as that intro
duced by Mr.. Phelps. He felt unpre.
pared for this extraordinary heat on the
part of the opposing lawyers. He WAS
prised that Great Britain should be
charged with injustice in her conduct of
the proceedings preliminary to the meet
ing of the court. There was no inten-
tion on the part of Great Britain to use
the report of the Behring sea commits
sion as bearing upon the question Of
right before the court. The lawyers for
the United States had attempted
throughout the sittings Of the tribunal
to force this matter upon the commits.

SHANE ON CHICAGO

The election of Carter Harrison as
Mayor fully accords with Chicago's repu-
tation as the wickedest city in America,
and is anything but a striking tribute to
the benefcence of popular government.
Respectable papers and men of all par
ties agreed that Carter Harrison was the
candidate of the slums-of the worst ele-
ments that disfgure the population of a
great city. Unless the various authori-
ties are altogether amiss, the assassins,
thugs, thieves, dive-keepers, gamblers
and criminal classes generally were prac-
tically unanimous for Harrison.
The leading Democratic papers of Chi
cago, to their courage and good name be
it said, unsparingly denounced him as
the representative of all that is vile and
villainous in municipal administration.
But his victory is overwhelming.
And this is the worlds fair year, when
every impulse of honor and decency
should prompt Chicago to put its best
foot forward.

Ex-Secretary Thomas F. Bayard enjoys
the distinction of being the first Ambas-
sador the United States government has
ever dispatched to any foreign power.
Mr.. Bayard, who is 65 years old, is the
fourth of his family name who have
been United States Senators, his grand
father being a member of the senate as
early as 1903. In the winter of 1869 he
was elected to the United States senate
to succeed his father. In the senate, by
reason of years as well as ability, he was
one of the most prominent men of his
party. He belongs to family, old and
aristocratic, who are regarded as exclu-
sive by the mass of the Democratic
party and consequently is not so popu-
lar with the Democracy of the West and
some sections of the North as he is in the
South, with whose traditions he is of
course in sympathy. Mr.. Bayard is a
gentleman of moderate fortune.
