people had everything they wanted
anyway. If they hadn't. why didn't
they get it somehow? She was tall,
with cloan length of limb, low
sweep of bust, long lines to her back
and quiet dignity Of carriage. Her
features had that aristocraticalIy
piuched look which is the envy of the
composite" American girl, and her
small. we'll shaped head was set like a

sANC-FRolD OF A BRITISH GENERAL.
He Was Probably Much Cooler Than the
goo Persons He Ordered Hanged.

A correspondent, writing of the late
Lord Strathnairn, SAYS he was the
most indolent, lackadaisical, languid
person who ever dawdled along Picca-
dilly. When he was devastating CEN
tral India, winning the splendid vic
tories that immortalized his name, he
was so lazy that he could not be got to
dictate the dispatches recording his
own triumphs. says the Sheffield eng
land) Tclcgrayb. Months elapsed be-
fore these documents could be eXtrac'-
ed from him, and then they were brief
and meagcr to the last degree.
One day, when Sir Hugh Rose, he
was entertaining a gallant company to
dinner during the crisis Of the mutiny.
With the utmost sang-froid he was de-
lighting those near him with one of
his best anecdotes. In the middle of
it his orderly entered and, after salut-
inc. exclaimed: we have captured
200 rebels, sir"
To him the general turned and, with
that elegant courtesy of manner on
which he prided himself, serenely re-
piled: Thank you, sergeant"
But the man still remained. Again
what are we to do with them. sir?"
oh" replied Sir Hugh with a soft
smile, "hang them, of course" and he
resumed his anecdote.
In little while Sir Hugh was again
interrupted in the middle of another
story by the sergeant. who came in
and said: please, sir, we've hung the
lot. sir"
The general turned, bowed slightly,
and in the sweetest manner lisped:
Thanks, sergeant, very many thanks, /"
and then went on with his anecdote as
if nothing had happened.
This story came to the ears of the
queen and she was so angry that it
nearly cost Sir Hugh his peerage.

BISSELL'S DEFINITION
or What Does Not Constitute Offensive
Partisanship.

or What Does Not Constitute Offensive
Partisanship.
WASHINGTON Special to the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette.
Postmaster General Bissell was called upon
today by the Kentucky delegation in Congress
and asked to define what would constitute
offensive craftsmanship" when used in connec-
ton with removals from Office.
''Why," he replied, with q laugh, 81 cannot
undertake to make specific rule covering that
question. Give me an instance Of what you
would consider as offensive partisanship."
''Well," spoke up one of the delegation,
''there is in my district q postmaster who cam
paigned for Harrison and made speeches all
over the district. He spoke from the same
platform with me in joint debate. Now, is not
that good case of offensive partisanship?"
''Was he fair in debate?" queried the Post
master General in return.
"Yes, SIR"
''Then it was not offensive partisanship," re-
piled Mr.. Bissell. providing the postmaster
did not neglect the duties Of his office. This
Is q country Of free thought and free speech,
and would not remove any man simply be-
cause he discussed the political questions Of the
day in . free and fair manner"
Continuing Mr.. Bissel gave the delegation
some points which he would regard as offen-
sive psrtisansbip in postmasters. First, one
who would turn his Office into political head
quarters; second, one who would manipulate
the mails in the interest of his party; third one
who would collect and solicit funds for the use
OF his party, and. fourth. one who would use
the position to coerce patrons Of the Office into
voting as he wished
Mr.. Bissell sisted that no doubt there were
other points. But he would take up each case
brought to him and decide it upon its merits.
And he advised the delegation not to support
charges Of this character unless their proof was
absolute.

deed Nh. Jas Mooney. the field agent Of the
chronological bureau. and others have also lent
their aid in the preparation Of the display in
the way Of materials, suggestions and practical
hints: The work Of preparing the display is in
an advanced stage and will soon be completed.
Then the figures will all be sent out to Chicago
and properly grouped as part Of the govern
ment exhibit.
In collections Of this sort before this the
figures have usually been made entirely Of
plaster, and then there was more than Q little
danger Of their being broken in shipment. The
figures that have been made this time are much
lighter. good deal stronger and not nearly SO
likely to be injured.
At the conclusion of the show out in Chicago
1t is probable that this most interesting and
valuable collection will be brought back to
Washington and set up permanently in the
National Museum. With the disappearance of
the Indians, the Esquimaux. the old-time
hunters and trappers Of the Daniel Boone type,
and the cowboys Of the west, this collection
will continue TO grow in interest and real value.
for the groups are really startling in their real
ism and their fidelity to the people and scenes
depicted.

tied down with strong Irvine, and hammered
down until it had assumed the proper proper
tons. The man who was doing the work one
could hardly call him a sculptor, was Mr.. c. +.
W. Bergman. who is connected with the
museum and who has made many OF the adj
mirable figures that are seen in the collection
there.
The methods pursued in making the Zuni
woman already mentioned gives a very good
idea of the way they are all made. The groups
are designed from photographs or drawings
made among the Indians and the grouping is
done by Mr.. W. H. Holmes. the rtis., who is
connected with the bureau of etnnology. When
Mr.. Bergman has his designs all ready and
knows just what attitude he wants his figures
to take he begins by making a rude skeleton
out of pine wood with abundance of nails,
hinges and glue. Then he adds packing about
this until he has his figure built out to the size
and shape that he desires. The excelsior is all
held in place By Irvine wrapped around it, so
that when the figure is in this stage of
partial completion it looks not unlike
a statue that has been all bundled up for trans
portation. True. it lacks a head. feet and
hands, but this part of it is not Dir. Bergmanns
work. Outside of the figure is placed LAYER
of paper that has been prepared in such a way
that it becomes hard. Outside of this. again. is
wrapped q skin made of burlap that is sewed
down smooth and makes frst-rate sort Of skin.

II the feet and hands are to DE covered with
moccasins, or in any way hidden from view,
they are built out in the same manner as the
rest of the body, but If they are to be exposed
they must be made in some more natural way.
They are then made Of plaster, and this comes
under the sphere OF the sculptor OF modeler
While the figures are being built out In this
manner Mr.. Theodore Mills the sculptor. has
been busy modelling the head and extremities.
They are made Of plaster, with Gfelike and
natural expressions. and are painted SO as to
have an even more human appearance. Mr.. A.
Zeno SCHNEIDER puts on the facial expression
and the flesh tints and then the head is sent of
to the wigmaker, who puts on the necessary
hirsute decorations. 1t Genes back for a few
more finishing touches and is ready to be
mounted on the body, which in the meantime
has been dressed in the costume it is to wear to

the proper attitude, SO that when it is COM
pleted it can be mounted on the stuffed horse
the taxidermist has prepared for it to ride and
the work is done, provided it is simply a
mounted figure.
One Of the most striking figures in the collec-
ton Is that OF an Indian warrior in full war

NEW YORK, March 17.-Says . writer in the
World:
There is no body Of men, taken as a class, who
devote greater attention to matters Of public in
terest than the preachers of New York city. no
matter Of what denomination. Brought into con-
tact with almost every phase of life and witnessing
scenes Of varied character, there are few matters
Of importance which escape their attention. So
constant and firing are their labors that very few
are the preachers who do not suffer from overwork
nervous troubles and other ailments that arise
from too much brain work, care and anxiety. The
newspapers have recently had much to say about
this overworking Of our city ministers, which has
caused the retirement Of several prominent clergy
men. With a view to discovering the truth of
these statements a reporter called on some well
known pastors and interviewed them concerning
the matter.
Bishop Alexander Walters Of the A. NJ. E. Church
said: 81 am a sufferer from dyspepsia, and have
been 30 for years. The doctors tell me that in my

work to a great extent. because If a man is not

OF Paine's celery compound and was surprised at
its effects. 1t is, without doubt the best medicine
ever used. and is capable of curing even SO severe
a case as mine. 1t has my unqualified indcrse-
ment."
Rev. A. Z. Sanford. pastor Of the Thir.y-ntth
Street NJ. E. Church. was out when the reporter
called at his residence, s4s West ped street, but
Mrs Sanford made the following statement in her
husbands behalf: "During the past year MI. San

Capt. Henry Ho well Lewis died yesterday at
his home, 1850 st. Paul street. Baltimore
Capt. Lewis was great grand nepne of George
Washington. He was born in King George
county, Va, in 1890. When eight years old he
was, through the influence 0: Henry CLAY,

navy and made his first cruise on the Con-
stellation. now the practice ship at Annapolis.
At the breaking out of the war he was on
ordnance duty under Admiral Dah,gren at
Washington. Resigning. he rendered his serv-
ices to the confederacy and participated in sew
eral engagements. At the close of the war he

years he has been an invalid.
In 1S45 Capt. Lewis was attacked with yellow
fever and witnessed the death at his side of two
OF his shipmates He attributed his later mala-
dies to this attack. Capt. Lewis features were
said to resemble those Of Washington as Judged
by popular pictures. Capt Lewis had q sword

Mr.. Frank Gushing, who is famous for his

served as the artists inspiration. In one series
he did not wear much in the way OF clothing,
