How little it takes to build up Was..- iacton sensation may be judI d from some people seeing. or pretending to see. lu dinner given to Joe Jefferson. the actor. by Secretary Lamont. a few even
 rga ago. q move ment tor a nOn-partisan financial hlll Tn congress The only req son for such belief was the attend lnce at tke dinner of a number of prominent rt- publlcans and d. mocrAts. including Secre- t.ry Carlisle. Attorney Geueral Olney. Chairman Wilson, Senator Hill and Repr. sentative Everett AmonR the democrats, and e1-Speaker Reed. Senators Morrill,, Sherman and Hawley among the republi- cans. It seems pity to destroy such an interesting story. but it 'an be stated upon the very best authority that the guests at this dinner were, ss usual Tn such cases, invited because they were known to be personal friends of the guest of honor, Mir Jefferson, and not with any idea of making the dinner a factor in the congressional situation.

CITIZENS OF FoRDNAM TO HONOR
 THE POETS MEMORY.

The Quaint Cottage In Upper New York
 Where Poe Wrote Many of His Best Po-
 ems and Tales Still Stands and Is Visited
 by Hundr reds Daily.
 Hustling, bustling New Tor k does not allow sentiment to stalid in the way of its march of progress, but ttlus far one of the most interesting lite rary land marks in the city, Poes cotta Ge at Ford ham, has escaped the hand of the con tractor and builder. With Poe ''the fever called living, as ho termed life, has been conquered for 45 years, but the little cottage he occupied during his most active time of literary productions still stands, looking much as it did when, protected by its humble walls, he penned many of the poems and tales that have given him such great postbumous fame.
 Tho representative Citi Sens of Ford ham now propose to erect statue of the poet or a monument to his memory. The idea originated in the brain of Mir. Charles r. Smith, and tho FordhaIn club is raising the money to carry it into execution. When completed, the monu- ment or the statue will be erected in Bronx park or upon the grounds where Poe's cottage stands.
 Poo was already famous as the author of "The Raven" and several prose tales of q high order of merit before he made the little cottage in Fordham his home in 1646. The country about it was then

Just Now the American Legation at PekIng

 A position in the diplomatic service of the United States at $l2,0O a year is regarded as ''soft snap" by many people Some of the diplomatic stations in foreign countries may come under this head, but there is at least one SIP, = 900 position that is far from being a "snap" just at present. This is the post of the Hon. Charles Denby, envoy ex- traordinary and minister plenirotentiary to China. Owing to Chinese hatred of foreigners, the mission at Peking is nev- CT particularly agreeable. but at present, when a Japanese army is threatening the Chinese capital, the mission is posi- lively perilous.
 The Chinese government is notorious ly incapable of controlling the mobs that occasionally vent their hatred upon the foreigners in her large cities, but de- spite this fact she objects to the pres ence of an armed guard at the various legations, Not long ago Minister Den

MkS- NAT COLLINS d m 0 novel. When q mere slip of a girl not yet in her teens, she and her father reached Denver, which then consisted of two loc cabins and tent. Later, while on her way east to attend school, the wagon train was captured by Indians. The men who were not killed during the defense of the train were afterward tortured to death, and despite her tender years Mrs. Collins was compelled to run the gant- let. She dashed between the two long lines of Indians, and the savages struck at her with clubs and tomahawks as she went by. She escaped the dreadful or deal alive, but tomahawk struck her in the neck, inflicting a wound the scar of which she will bear to her grave.
 One of the chiefs took a fancy to her and gave her to his little daughter as playmate. The same day she saw the h. dians burn a Mexican captive at the stake. After a captivity of about eight months she was rescued by party of white men and restored to her father.
 She and her brother then joined Q wagon train as cook and teamster, re- spectively, and made a dozen trips across the plains from the Rocky noun tains to the Missouri river. She was the only woman in the train, and the men were rough fellows, but her brother proved an able protector. She saved con- siderable money, married, and with her husband entered the cattle business in Montana before the territory achieved statehood.
 She is now q rich woman, and thou sands of cattle bear the Collins brand There is hardly a phase uf rough life on the frontier that she is not familiar with. In tho early days in Montana the only law was the law of Judge Lynch, and Mrs. Collins has seen many rough characters swung into eternity by the ready hands of the vigilantes Sine has also tried her hand at mining and has taken part in seven rushes to new dig gings. Despite her manlike life, she is still very much of a woman, and many a sick cowboy has been nursed back to health by Aunty Collins.
