road whose total capitalization is con-
siderably less than it's actual cost of
construction and it's intrinsic value. Mr..
Blackstone is a native of Connecticut.
He was born at Beauford March 28,
He spent his youth on a farm and laid
the foundation of his education by at
tending the district school in the In
terVals when farm work did not claim
him. Later he was sent to one OF the
best known Connecticut academies,
which he attended until his health
broke down and he was compelled to
seek occupation which would give him
outdoor exercise. He Joined an engt-
neering corps engaged in surveying and
locating the New York & New Haven
road. He began as a rodman, but In
due time graduated as a thoroughly
trained, skilled and practical civil en-
gineer. He was appointed assistant en-
gineer of the Stocxbridge & E1ttsfeld
road and was afterward connected in
the same capacity with the Vermont
Valley road. In. 1851 he came west and
took charge of the construction Of
section of the Illinois Central. His head
quarters were at LaSalle and the resi-
dents of that place elected him mayor,
which is the only political office he
ever held. In 1856 he was appointed
chief engineer of the Joliet & Chicago
road, out of which the Chicago & AL
ton has actually grown. He was elect
ed president in 1861, and three years
later, when the road became part of
the Alton system, he was chosen presi-
dent of the new company. At that time
the road had only $50 miles of tracks.
It's present mileage is over 1000 miles.
Mr.. Blackstone has always been alert
to adopt new improvements. 1t was an
Alton coach which was transformed in
to the first Pullman sleeper and 1t was
on the Alton the first dining-cars were
run. Jeffersonian simplicity is
marked characteristic of Mr.. Black
stone. He is easier of access than any
other railroad president in the country.
He is large-hearted and generous to
fault and recently established a public
library to the memory of his father in
his native town.

Their reservation, comprising 800 acres,
coded to the tribe by the ancient colon
ial assembly of Virginia, is an oddly
formed neck of land almost entirely sur
rounded by one of the serpentine curves
of the Pamunkey river, not far from its
debouchment into York river. The place
is connected with the mainland by
narrow strip of sand the isolation and
protection afforded by this peculiar sit
uation have no doubt saved these In
dams from determination. About one
third of the reservation is good farm
ing land and the remainder consists of
woods and low swamps, well stocked
with deer, raccoon, otter, muSkrats,
mink, redbirds, wild geese, ducks and
turkeys.
There are now 80 Pamunkey Indians

proper and 35 more residing on another

average longevity is somewhat lower
than that OF their white and colored
neighbors.

Few men have taken a more active
part in the development and progress
of the great southwest than Hon. Robert
T. Van Horn of Missouri, who is a con-
testant for the seat of John c. Tarsney
in the coming congress. He was born
in Pennsylvania, of revolutionary stock,
in 1924. He became a printer while still
boy, and in 1855 became a resident
of Kansas City and founded the Journal
newspaper which, under his long editor
ship has been one of the leading COM
mercial and political papers of the west.
He was elected mayor of Kansas City
in 1861 on the Union ticket and soon
after organized the first troops for the
union army raised in western Missouri
He was major and lieutenant colonel
of the Twenty-fifth Missouri Infantry
and made an excellent record at Lex
ington, Shiloh, COrinth, and participant
ed in many important movements in
the south and southwest. His services
were so greatly needed at home to direct
the destinies of the wavering state,
however, that he was elected to the
senate of the state while still in the
field, and in 1864 he was elected to con-

Dangerous Women.

A writer for the st. Louis Globe
Democrat gives warning against three
women, and these are the one who does
not love children, the one who does
not love flowers and she who openly
declares she does not like other wom-
en-. There is something wanting in
such, and in all probability it's place
is supplied by some unlovely trait.
AS Shakespeare says OF him who has
no soul for music, such q woman is fit
for treason, strategy and spoils, and
Il woman intent on those is ten thous-
and times worse than any man could
be, for standing higher, she can fall
lower. Man may smile and jest lit
tie over the tenderness lavished on O
baby, but after all the prattle every
womanly woman involuntarily breaks
into at the sight of the wee creatures,
is very sweet to masculine ears. 1t
was the first language they ever knew,
and in spite OF the jest and smile, the
sweetest on wife's or sweetheart's lips.
They may laugh, too, at the littlegar-
den tools, which seem like playthings
to their strength, but in their hearts
they associate, and rightly, purity OF
character and life with the pursuit.
And as for the woman who does not
care for her own sex and boldly avows
it, she is coquette pure and simple,
and one of the worst and lowest type,
too, as a general thing.

urged by the people of both Missouri
and Kansas as secretary of the interior
under President Hayes, on account of
his familiarity with western affairs. He
was again elected to congress in 1878,
and as a candidate in 1894 he overcame
a majority of more than 5000. which
his opponent had received at the
previous election and claims the seat
on the ground of frauds at the polls
which have been admitted by the OPP
position to an extent that leaves little
doubt as to the outcome. AS a politi-
clan Col. Van Horn has been accorded
great skill and sagacity, and for more
than twenty-five years he has been an
influential member of the national or
state committees of his party.

~ the first families" of the Old Domin-
Ion, being ineal descendants of the true
aboriginies. So blue and exclusive, in
1act, is the Pamunkey blood. so unmixed

'nat the tribe is dying out and expert
enclng the urgent need of a matrimo-
MAI alliance with some outside stock

eHects Of continued inter-marriage be-
tween members of the tribe have be-
come apparent to them, but inasmuch
they scorn a union with their white
as well as their negro neighbors, they
are In dilemma as to what steps they
should take to restore the blood Of their
trlpe and save themselves from ex-
llnctlon. 1t Is case like that of the
primitive Romans and Sabines, but
mus far no Sabine women have been
iured among them and captured.
Under these circumstances the head
men of the Pamunkey tribe have
opened negotiations with the eastern
band of Cherokee Indians in the ada
cent states of North Carolina, Tennes-
see, Georgia and Alabama to procure
brides for their unmarried sons and
husbands for their unmarried daugh-
tiers. The male Pamunkeys understand
the eastern Cherokee women to be ex-
|ceptionally pretty, modest and sensible,
and the female Pamunkeys regard the
eastern Cherokee braves as handsome,
| loyal and industrious, calculated to
| make model husbands. Correspondence
was begun about year ago with the

The Wonderful Bernhard,

1t was Sara Bernhard who design
ed the La Tosca and sent hundreds of
dressmakers to the madhouse trying
to make bodice without gussets or
seams. 1t was Sara who brought out
the mosquetaire glove, the Louis XIV.
coat, and the hats OF the artist. 1t
was Sara who ordered sable round the
bottom OF a white silk ball dress,
white angora down the front of q
breakfast robe, and black Astrachan
sleeves in her sealskin jacket. 1t was
Sara who brought out the feather
boa. Sara revived the Elizabethan
ruff, the Medici collar and the passe-
menterie insertions to cover up her
long neck and fiat chest. Sara it was
who built up the sleeve heads and
made every fat woman in the land
who copied her look as though she had
an apartment house on each shoulder.
Sara revived the miniature craze and
the fad for barbsric ornaments, and
now she has given all creation the

The young male Pamunkeys are par

"The prevailing style among women
OF dressing the neck low" said an
artist recently, emphasizes the fact
my profession has long accepted, that
% woman with head well supported
by graceful neck and rising from
even, sloping shoulders, is not COM
mon. Looking about in company
OF young women whose faces, per-
haps, are delicate and pretty, often
beautiful, and whose figures seem,
when facing them rounded and ele-
CANT, and then get behind them and
see how few show an attractive poise
from that point. Even if she have
good back and shoulders, which is
almost rare to an exception, she
carries her head so far forward of her
chest as to develop an angle at the
nape of her neck where nature certain
ly never intended to put one. Most
women, however have prominent
shoulder blades, one shoulder point
rising higher than the other, or, worse
still, a trick of carrying the right side
OF the figure a tritle in advance OF the
left which gives them from side or
back view decidedly crooked APP
pearance. This, too, in spite OF the
modern hue aud cry about gymnastics
and physical culture. 1t is going to
take a generation of careful training
to do away with these bad habits,
and when see the young school girls
going about the streets by dozens with
heads still bent and shoulders round
