RELIEVED BY DEATH.
Premier Gresham's Suilerings Ended
In Loved Ones Presence.
A Long Life Devoted to the
Nations Welfare.
His Career on the Battlefield, on the Bench
and at Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 2S. = Secretary OF
State Gresham died at l:lS o'clock this
morning.
For two hours preceding dissolution
there had been no indication either Of u
pulse or a heart beat. He lay during that
time with his head resting on the arms OF
his daughter, Mrs. Andrews, while his de-
voted wife sat by his side, his hands
clasped in hers; his face SO turned that his
last conscious gaze should rest upon her.
And so the minutes dragged slowly on
until the end came. He was conscious TO
the last. He suffered greatly during the
preceding 4S hours, after the pneumonia
symptoms were complicated with his dis
ease, and was only temporarily relieved by
frequent hypodermic injections. But as
the end approached, his suffering disap-
peared, and he passed away as quietly us
u child sinking to slumber.
Mrs. Gresham's long pent-up grief could
not be longer restrained when she real
lied the secretary was dead. She leaned
over his body, calling him affectionately
by name, and was with difficulty removed
from his side.
Secretary Gresham S sickness began May
I, when he was attacked with acute pleur-
isy. The effusion filled tho pleural cav
ity, but his condition yielded to treatment
until Saturday, when he suffered relapse,
accompanied by acute pneumonia. HIS
condition since that time has been ex-
tremely critical. His heart action became
enfeebled requiring the constant admins
tration Of the most powerful heart stimu

JAPAN WILL HELP SILVER.
Senator Teller Sees Only Hope in the Chi
neSe Indemnity.

Washington March Ex-senator Teller
does not regard very seriously the posi-
BILE effect of Japan's demanding a large
war indemnity from China, and is of the
opinion that instead of injuring the cause
of silver il Will aid it
II have no fear" he said today. that
in that event Japan will go to a gold basis.
The people there have too long been ac-
cuStomed to the use of silver. and the
country is too prosperous and progress
sive with matters as they are for them
to desire a change. Naturally, however.
and notwithstanding the popularity of
silver for local purposes, japan will ask
that its indemnity be paid in gold because
of its greater purchasing power in Europe
and America, with which continents
japan has large dealings. and also because
war debt. Still if Japan should conclude
TO go TO gold basis that fact would only
increase the scramble for gold and would
be another circumstance to show the in
adequacy of the gold supply. Leaving
out of consideration what japan may de-
eide to do with reference TO monetary
basis the demand upon China for say
500 oG0, go in gold would neceSsitate a
great Scurrying about for the metal
China does not collect to exceed $1,000, 600

her bonds and raise the gold in America
and Europe. In that event 1uNy TWO
thirds of the amount would be taken

Chicago, Ill, March 19-The Streeter-
Fairbank fight, the mast sensational

Captain Streeter some years ago was

POISONED BIRDS ON HATS.
How the FeRthered Creatures Are Treat
ed For Millinery characterization.

Some iaiies are a little squeamish
about wearing on their hats birds that
nave been poisoned, said the manager OF
a Broadway millinery establishment.
''The sparr1ws, field larss and blackb birds
that you see on ladies' hats have been
killed by pc son.
The p2iaon is sprinkled among the
grain and ether feed thrown to them, as
you would feed tame bird This is easier
than trapping, am told by those who fol-
low the business, and besides when the
bird is trapped it heats its wings against
its prison, and some of the feathers are
destroyed. Some ladies are so sympathe5-
ic that they will not wear the bird, TAX
ing only its wings. There are Others so
sympathetic that they will wear neither,
buying only the imitation. 10; it is not
because of oheapneSS, for ini alton birds,

others because we must color and tint
them to make them look natural. No; We
do not color the feathers OF the real birds.
Nature is a more perfect painter than art.
''When the bird is killed, it is Mt once

birds is their laturalnesS of color and tint
If you attempt to improve, you destroy,
and l cannot see how a woman Of fashion
Will prefer the imitation when the genuine

as the bird is already dead. Yes; believe

THE Willy HERON.
Wonderful Tricks That Serve to Protect
the Bird From Its Enemies

Nature seems to have provided some
animals with wonderful mimetic adapta
lions 10 protect them from their enemies
Mr.. Hudson cites an exaiS lie of this. He
had fred al South American heron which
was stealing through some rushcs. but on
coming 10 he place could see nothing OF
the bird. Iiewas on the point Of turning
away when a strange sight met his eyes.
This is how be describes the scene:
There stood my heron on reed no more
than eight inches from my knees and on .
level with them The body was erect, ard
the point OF the tail touched the reed
grasped by his feet. The long, tapering
neck was held stiff. straight and vertical,
and the head and beas, instead of being
carried obliquely, We're also pointing up
From his feet TO the tip of his beak there
was not perceptible curve or inequality,
but whole was the fgure-the exact eoun-
terpart-of a straight, tapering rush, the
loose plumage being arranged TO I'LL all
inequalities. The wings, pressed into the
hollow sides, made it impossible 20 see
where the body ended and the neck began,
OF TO distinguish head from neck, or beak
FROM head. This was n front view, and
the entire under surface of the bird was
thus displayed, all of uniform dull yell
fow. Not a movement did the bird make.
placed my hand on the point of his beah
and forced the head down till it touched
the back. When withdrew my hand, up
flew the head, like steel spring, TO its
first position. l repeated the experiment
several times, with the same result, the
very eyes Of the bird appearing all the
time perfectly immo7abie.
But how CHANGED it that while walking
round the bird through the rushes had
not seen mis- striped back and broad colored
sides? Thinking thus, stepped round to
get side view, when all l could see was
the rushlike front of the bird. His mo-
tons on the perch as he turned slowly or
quickly round, still keeping the edge Of
the bladelike body before NE, correspondent
so exactly with my own that I almost
doubted il l had moved at all After
watching the bird thus for some time

perched him on my hand, when he few

Screens In China.

Screens are to be seen everywhere in the
Dragon Empire. They are carved of teak
wood and handsomely painted with vari-
Gus figures and devices. In some parts OF
China hedsteads similar to our own are
used. They are curiOusly carved, with
drawers underneath and shelves for hold
ing toilet necessities, all OF which arc hid

Round as Giotto's q.

Giotto was a famous painter. sculptor
and architect of the latter part Of the thir-
tenth century lie Was a son Of poor
shepherd, but the attention Of the great
master, Cimabue, having been attracted 70
the boy by drawing the lad had made
on fragment of slate, the young artists
fame spread rapidly throughout southern
Europe. In those Gays it was customary
for the popes to send for the noted men of
their realm, more for the purpose OF graft
flying their desires TO see such celebrities
than anything else. Giotto was no eSoep-
ton to the rule. No sooner had the young
Tuscan become famous than Pope BoDi
face VIII invited him 70 Florence When
young GiJtto arrived at the gates OF the
pope's private grounds, according TO :he
account, the guard halted him and in
4uired concerning his mission.
The artist made the matter plain, but
the guard was not satisfied with the ex-
PLANTATION, frequently interrupting Giotto's
explanatory remarks with, Il know he
must be a much larger and distinguished
looking person than yourself" and; "Giot-
To is a famous painter BY your walk
would take you to be a shepherd" Final
ly, upon demanding evidence of the art
lists skill, the latter stopped and traced q
perfect . in the dust of the path with his
finger. Any one who has ever attempted
the feat of drawing perfect circle of
hand" well knows how difficult IL Is.
1t is needless To add that the artist was
forthwith ushered into the presence OF the
supreme pOntiif, and that since that time
"Rounder than Giotto's O" has been q
favorite byperbole To indicate impossible
perfection. st. Louis Republic.
