Chief Irn,eio,s Interpreter.

Chief lgnacio, the gigantic Ute In
dian, who is in the city, has been at
the Capitol quite frequently Of late,
and, like nearly all Of the western men,
has found his way 10 the room Of the
committee on private claims, where he
spends considerable time. But 10 the
members and others the man who ac-
companies Ignacio is Of far more inter
est than the chief himself This man
is the interpreter. lie is a short, thick
set, full blooded negro, with the char
acteristic negro features and as black
as the typical ace of spades. lie was
thrown with the Ute tribe some twenty
years ago and can speak Spanish, Mex
lean, English and Ute and knows each
OF the languages thoroughly. lie mar
ried the chiefs daughter and is a man
of so much natural intelligence that be
is regarded with great respect and def
erence by the chief and the five or six
thousand Indians who compose the
tribe. Despite his great power among
the Indians he is, while mingling with
the people Of the Caucasian race in
Washington, D man of notable modesty
and rcticence, although when his apin-
ion and judgment are asked, which Is
quite frequently the case, he Is ready
with a clear answer Quite a number

would you like TO get an idea OF
how the railroads are victimized In all
directions" said the general passenger
agent of one of the leading Chicago
roads. 'If you would, here is report
which is fair sample of what we re-
ceive every day"
The report referred to was that OF a
spotter who had been sent out TO make
a trip over a certain section of the sys-
tenn, and find what he could Of any
creolsedness that the employees Of the
road might be indulging in. 1T read in

MOST BEAUTIFUL OF FEET.

Those of Modern Americans Resemble the
Extremlties OF Greek statuary.
The Greek statuary, much Of il dated
centuries before Christ, seems to prove
that the Greek had feet much like
those of modern Americans,
The most beautiful of the Greek feet
are followed out well, both inside and
out. They have short heels, high in
steps, and long. straight toes, slightly
spatulate at the ends This is the type
of the most beautiful foot 1t is, on the
whole. a foot not frequently seen in its
perfection, for often one or the other
elements of beauty is wanting. The
rarest point of beauty is the following
Of the outside of the foot 1t used to
be that the shoemalsers' lasts were
made upon Greek principles, but for
several years lastmaLers have been
making a lump on the outside of the
last just above the point where the
slight hollow should be.
II any one would convince himself
that the hollow on the outside of the
foot is rare let him watch the prints
the seaside bathers leave when they
step on dry plank walk Most of such
footprints show greater or smaller
hollow on the inside of the foot, but
nearly every one shows a straight wet
mark on the outside. The sandalled
feet of the Greek goddesses in marble
are much like the feet of the modern
woman-at any rate of the modern in
FAINT before the feet have been modified
by leather shoes All Of the goddesses
have the fifth toe much smaller than
the others, and, in every instance, this
toe shows the snail-like twist so often
ascribed to modern pointed shoes
The ancient statuary, whether male
or female figures, shows often that con.
traction Of the toes at the joints usually
ascribed TO the wearing of short shoes
Even the casts of ancient statues Of
athletes show this peeuliarity. A few
mummi6ed feet are modern in form,
though they usually show the effect Of
the tight bandages wound about the
corpse.
Not only does art give small encour-
agement to the idea that pedal deformi-
ties produced by footwear have become
hereditary, but the modern infant
bears testimony TO the contrary. Per-
haps the feet OF women suffer more
than those Of men from injudicious
footwear, but infants seem TO inherit
not the peculiarities of their mothers,
hut only the structural form.-Argo-

PLAIos NOT IN STYLE.

Always to be In Fashion, but They Never
Are-Egyptian Plating.
At this juncture Of the year, the
same prophecy is always made: Dur
ing the forthcoming autumn and win
ter season plaids are to be fashionably
and generally worn"
Those who believe in the prediction
always end by being deceived. Tartans
never become generally fashionable by
any chance.
Its history: The tartan is indeed IA
genuine outcome of the primitive in
stincts of tribal pride, which dates 70
the forgotten past"
The difference Of clan tartans are no
doubt traceable TO localities, since the
women, who spun the wool from their
home fiocks, dyed IL with natural dyes
found in the fruits, vegetables and
barks of their own neighborhood,
where the yellow poppy by the sea-
shore grew plentifully, and the red
berries by the wayside, there the coll
ors OF yellow and red predominated in
plaids
Speaking of plAids, IT is imagined
that kilting-that is, the plating Of
any fabric, silk or woolen-was first
adopted by the Highlanders, but |
learn that this is far from being the
case.
Plating, a survival Of one Of the
prettiest of fashions, dates back to the
dimmest Of pasts: and thousands OF
wears ago the ERyrtians showed, as we
can see in their sculptures, as passion
ate a love for accordion" plating as
we do to this y.-Gentlewoman.

GENTLEMEN CoLoNIsTs.
Some Reasons why They Have Failed In
Manitoba.

Manitoba.
A correspondent of the Times"
writing from Manitoba, remarks that
the sons of gentlemen who go out TO
settle as farmers get very unsatisfac-
tory results They rely on remittances
from home instead of trusting TO their
own energy, end, in many cases, hav-
ing done badly and become embar-
rassed, end by becoming loafers at = ;
township bar
That is the general experience,
though, of course, there have been ex-
ceptions and Uruguay could tell an
even worse tale of failure than Mani
toba- There are many reasons for IL.
One Is that the young men sent out
are often those who have been little
wild at home, and a man is not cured
of incipient taste for drink or bad COM
pany by finding himself in a country
where his friends and relatives can ex-
ercise no supervision over him.
Another is, that an educated man,
finding solitude intolerable in times
when work is slack, is apt TO escape TO
the nearest town where there Is n gem
tlemen's club, and this, though ii is a
mild form Of extravaganza, wastes his
reserve fund and puts him at disad-
vantage with his neighbors who stick
20 their holdings
Then, again, ordinary farming has a
great deal of dirty work about it,
which your gentleman dislikes, and
depends for success on the capacity to
drive hard bargains, which the gentle
man is generally deficient in. The
best cure, as the Times" correspond
ent suggests, would be for every edu-
Gated man TO take out his sister with
him. Probably she would marry and
leave him in a year, bnt in that case
he would only require 10 marry the
other mans sister after q time,-West-

SENATOR MATT. 8. QUAY.

ty. The seventh member of the ju-
dietary is Henry K. Mccarthy (dem.),
of Philadelphia, the law creating the
new court providing for minority
representation.
The platform as reported was adopted 1t
demands the use of both gold and silver and
the maintenance Of a parity between
the two metals; opposes the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the arbitrary
ratio Of 16 to 1; declares continued adherence
to the protective policy and insists upon iegIS-
lation which will secure it's restoration; de-
nounces democratic legislation, and charges
the democratic party under Clevelands lead
ership with the precipitation of the industrial
and financial panic of 1898.
The final plank in the platform was
resolution introduced on the floor of
the convention by Senator Quay, and
referred to the committee on resolu-
tions. 1t is as follows:
Resolved, That we decry the growing use
Of money in politics and the corporate control
of legislatures, municipal councils political
primaries and elections, and favor the enact
ment of legislation and enforcement of laws to
correct such abuses.
I'VE earnestly insist upon form of civil
service which will prevent the enslavement OF
public officers and employees and the compell-
ing of those appointed to preserve
the peace, to contine themselves to
their duties; which will insure abso-
Lutte freedom and fairness in bestowing state
and county and municipal contracts and
will punish any form of favoritism in granting
them; which will forbid the grant of exclu-
sive franchises to deal in public necessities.
comforts, conveyance and sanitary require
ments, and will insure the recognition of abil-
ity and fidelity in the public service, keeping
service to the country ever foremost when ac
companied by ability and fitness.
I'VE demand that public office should be for
the public benefit and its term In subordinate
positions should be during good behavior No
public employer or officer should be permitted
to influence primaries or elections nor upon any
pretense to be assessed upon his salary and all
unnecessary positions and salaries should
be abolished and expenditures and taxation
reduced: there should be a uniform basis Of
valuation Of property, for public purposes;
corporations enjoying public privileges should
pay for them, and schools should be divorced
from politics and kept absolutely from politi-
cal influence and control"
On motion of Senator Quay the con-
vention adjourned sine die at 2:46 p. m.
