TO MISS

know n lovely maiden
Who with Scranton hearts is laden,
But she takes 'em and she breaks 'sm
In such a gentle way,
That not a sigh complaining
OF the 1--we she's ever draining
Is muttered or is uttered
BY the hearts that own her sway.
That such a cruel feature
This fair and lovely creature
Should possess,
Is almost past conceiving-
Not to say believing
I confess;
But she wears 'em and she tears EN-,
And she never once repairs 'em,
Hearts, which, without her trying,
For her are ever signing,
And, for aught I know, are dying
In distress.
There's Walter, Peter, James
Oh! so many other names!-
Whose hearts are all in flames
But in vain,
That to tell 'em or to spell 'em
Would render me insane.
But Oh! how they adore her,
Fall on their knees before her,
To bescech and to implore her
All ID vain. v

BEHRING SEA PLAN.
A Commission will Pass Upon the
Claims Of Canadian
SealerS

Washington, D. c., JAN 25.-Secretary
Olney was called on today by Sir Julian
Pauncefote. the British ambassador,
who submitted the final acceptance of
the British government of the plan of a
Behring sea commission to pass upon
the claims of Canadian sealers seized
prior to the Paris award 1t remains
only for the President to submit the plan
to Congress. and as the legislative
branch has refused to pay a lump sum
for the seizures. it is considered certain
that the commission arrangements will
be approved.
1t is quite likely that the President,
III submitting the plan to Congress,
might suggest once more the deSlra billty
of lump payment as the most eXpedi-
tlous means of settlement, for the COM
mission of arbitration, if agreed to, will
bind the United States to any award,
which may far exceed the lump sum
proposed.
The commission is to be composed of
one American commissioner one British
commissioner and an umpire to be chos-
Ell by the two. The personnel of the
commission has not been suggested as
yet, but there is a belief that the presi-
dent of Switzerland will be asked to act
as umpire or someone designated by the
Swiss president if the sessions of the
commission designate the presence of the
umpire in this country
In view of the pending request of the
Venezuela commission to the British gov
ernment, Sir .Julians call at the state
department on the Behring sea matter
led to some comment as to Great Brit
aims probable answer to the letter of
Justice Brewer transmitted through Sec
rotary Olney. but it is understood that
the ambassador had no information to
impart on the subject and that the Brit
ish foreign office has not given any init
nation as yet regarding it's purpose.
There is reason to believe, however,
that there will be no action on the Brew
er letter for a month or more, as the
request will go through the usual slow
Venezuela is expected to be delayed IN
til about February Il, as the mail trans
mission of the request and answer will
take until then

AMERICANS ON PAROLE.
Hammond is the Only One Still in
Jail at JohanneS-
burg.

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 2l.--The
state department today gave out the fol-
lowing statements:
Manion. consular agent a; Johannesburg.
cables Secretary clney that AL American
mond, whose case differs from that of 9th
ers in that Hammond signed Il constitutions
al invitation for Jameson to come TO J0nan-
neSburg in case of extreme peril. jameson
marched towards Johannesburg, hcweyer.
before trouble arose. When this was dis
issued 4 proclamation calling on people to
refrain from hoStilittes.
Instead of incitin% 4 rebellion. Hammond
in the beginnn" raised the Transvaal flag
and all in the movement SWore allegiance.
Clement and ether Americans took arms
from many and sent the men home. Not Il
shot was fired 10y the Johannesburg party;
there was no disturbance nor n single act
of hostility: arms were chiefly surrendered
and every effort was made to maintain the
cases against the American prisoners arrest
ed will be tried in court and the govern
ment has not yet indicated the time of
prosecution. He adds that the TranSvaal
government has acted magnanimously.
In view of the foregoing it is believed
here that neither Hammond nor any
other Americans are in serious peril.
The state department has cabled Manion
to use the most active and vigorous
measures for the relief of the Americans
and to that end to make the TranSyaal
government direct representations on be-
half of the United States, which in this
case acts independently. of course IN its
own interest and in behalf of its own
citizens and not rs the sympathiZer or
ally of any other power.

Filippo Nell. A year later he entered
as a student the Royal Academy of Ber-
lin. Then followed comparative with
drawal from art for year, during which
the embryo-painter was receiving his
general education at FrankfOrt-on- Main.
The winter of 1856 was spent in Flor
ence, and it was here that the father
at last yielded to the sons desire to en-
brace painting as profession.
Some of the drawings by the young
student were submitted to the celebrated
American sculptor, Hiram Powers, and
the father of the artist promised that his
decision should depend upon the results
of this interview with the great sculptor.
AS Powers regarded the drawings as eN-
cellent. young Leighton was permitted
from that time forward to devote his ell
tire time to painting, and during part of
the time, from 1916 to 1913, he studied
in the Academy of Frankfort-oE-the-
Main. Later he went to Brussels, where
he painted his first finished picture, rep
resenting the story of Gina bue finding
Giotto drawing in the fields
The following year he spent in Paris,
copying in the Louvre and attending the
life school, returning thence to Frank
fort where he became a pupil of b.
Steinle of Vienna. professor of historical
paining at the academy of that city,
and follower of Overlook. During
this period, which continued to 1858,
Leighton painted a large picture of The
| Death of Brunelesco," and then he
spent several winters in Rome in dill
gent study and painting. The exhibition
of the young artists work at the Royal
academy, in 1865, was great surprise
to the London public, coming, as it did,
from an artist then unknown in Eng
land.
The Queen at once purchased the
painting of "Cimabue'' after the exhi-
; hiton and it was again placed on exhi-
! biton at the Manchester Art treasures
and the International exhibitions. Sub
contributing to the Academy exhibition
picture entitled ''The Triumph of Mu-
sic" Later he contributed the following
paintings to the Academy: 1.-The Fisher
man and the Siren" Romeo and Juliet
(act iv., scene W." in 1853; ''Pavonia,"
Sunny Hours and La Mamma" in
1859; "Capri--Sunrise," in 1860; >'.Paola
ohne Worte'' and Capri ganos," in
1861. and a long list of fine studies since.
In 1864 Mr. Leighton was elected an
associate of the Royal academy, and an
academician in 1869. He was chosen
president of the Royal academy, sue
cessor to the late Sir Francis Grant in
| 1878. and q few days later he received
the honor of knighthood. He was nomi-
/ mated the same year an officer of the
. Legion of Honor He accepted the pres
idency of an English commission which
was formed in 1888 for the Internato
exhibition of the graphic arts in Vienna.
At the Paris exhibition of 1878 Sir Fred
erick Leighton was nominated president
of the international jury of painting. and
in 1888 he was elected a member of the
society of painters in water colors. In
the distribution of honors upon last New
Years day, Queen Victoria raised Sir
, Frederick to the ueerare
