MR.. TADEAIA'S STUDIO.
Of all rooms in the house, this is of
course the one most stamped with the
individuality of the artist, as he re-

himself speaks of his house as a series
of backgrounds to his pictures, and it
is naturally in his studio especially that
he has provided himself with suitable
surroundings. The room has more than
one entrance, but only one small door
is visible; the others are merely panels

TADEMA'S EARLY STRUGGLES.
Laurens Alma Tadema was born at
Dronryp, In Holland, on January 8,
1886. His father died when he was
barely 4 years old, and his childhood
was one of many deprivations, and but
simple pleasure. His mother, to whom
he was deeply attached, was woman
of strong character, and when she was
left with a family of small children,
only the two youngest of whom were
her own. and very limited income on
which to educate and support them,
she bore herself with energy and cour-

Postal Authorities i'll Give 1t Trial in
 Thirty States Next November.
 Washington, Nov. S-First Assistant Postmaster General Frank H. Jones in his report for the year ending June 30. 1896 states that there has during that time been a saving of $3.27s,ss5 and also shows an improvement in the service of delivering the volume of mail mat. ter. The number of presidential offices is 3,561, the salaries being $6,203. 300, and the total gross receipts from these offices were $65,282.364.
 MT. Jones recommends that S17, ,000,- 900 be appropriated to compensate postmasters for the next fiscal year. He asks only $11, 100000 for clerk hire, a considerable decrease in proportion to the increase of clerks to be employ ed. He recommends that $75.O00 be ap- propriated for the rental and purchase of cancelling machines. He thinks s15,- 900 sufficient amount to cover adver- Using expenses, regarding unclaimed letters, and advocates the adoption of the bulletin board system in this mat ter. He recommends that ten inspec- tors be assigned to look after the work in the salary and allowance branch of the service.
 Free delivery service has been estab- lished in several cities during the year and there are now but sixty three en- titled to it, but on account of the ex- pense the remainder could not be ben- efitted Experimental free delivery in towns and villages has shown a reduc- tion in gross receipts. By November 1 next rural free delivery will be tested in about thirty states There was reduction in the number of disrnissals of letter carriers, which evidences the high standard of discipline.
 MT. Jones recommends penalty for the unlawful use of a frank of mem Der of congress, and suggests $500 fine in each case. He says the law was dis- regarded during the campaign just closed. He asks legislation to do away with private postofflce boxes.

OFFICER SEEK FRS AT CANTON.
Already They Are Fostering Presidents
 Elect Mckinley.

A
 Canton, O., Nov. 8.-Major Mckinley is rapidly recovering from the effects of the mental strain and arduous labors of the campaign and this evening ex- pressed himself as being fully rested. He is in excellent health and spirits. The president-elect spent a very quiet day. He took short walk in the morning, attended church as usual and in the afternoon went for a drive. Tho balance of the day Major McKinley passed in his library. Among thosa who called were Charles G. Dawes, member of the executive committee of the national republican committee, and Congressman Wilson of Brooklyn, N. Y.
 The determination of Major Mckinley to remain in Canton until the middle of this week on account of the feeble condition of his wife may keep the storm cloud of political interest central over Canton for some days longer. The character of the visitors has changei since his election. During the cam paign when the railways made low rates hundreds and thousands of peo- pie from the lowly walks of life came to Canton. Now the visitors are large ly of the political, office holding or of- fice-seeking classes. Some of the call- CTS at the Mckinley residence are old friends.

HARVARD wlL1 FILE NO PROTEST
Chairman of Athletic Committee Has Nc Fault tn Find With Princetnn PIayars

Chairman of Athletic Committee Has No
 Fault to Find With Princeton Players.
 Cambridge, Mass, Nov. S.-Prof. J. H. Beale, chairman of the Harvard athletic committee, yesterday made the following official communication in re- gard to Harvard's attitude towards certain members of the Princeton elev- en:
 will you allow me to correct certain statements that have been made as to Harvard's objection to some of the Princeton football team. There has been no dispute between Harvard and Princeton on any question of fact, nor has Harvard at any time taken posi- tion which could by any possibility have caused a rupture of the athletic relations existing between the two uni- versailles, or a refusal by either to play the football game arranged for to-day.
 "A question was at one time raised as to MT. Gailey's eligibility to play on the Princeton team. Upon investiga- ton however, it appeared he Is per- fectly eligible. He has only played two years at Lafayette and one at Prince ton, before the present year Harvard has absolutely no objection to urge to the eligibility of any of the men who played in the game to-day"

BRYAN's PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.
Will Preside at Convention of the Trans
 Mississippi Congress-.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov S.-William J. Bryan, as president of the Trans Mississippi congress, is interesting himself in that enterprise, and has re- ceived number of calls from Omaha gentlemen and others, who urged him to call a meeting of the congress at as early date as practicable, The eX- position is to be held in Omaha. The Iowa and Louisiana legislatures have made appropriations to defray prelim- mary expenses for arranging a state exhibit, and legislatures of other west ern states will be asked to set aside funds for state exhibits.
 These matters were discussed with MT. Bryan and he promised to do what he could to further the interests of the exposition. The visiting delegation wants the ans-Mississippi congress to meet December 15. It is understood the annual meeting will be held not later than that date. The Nebraska legislature will be asked to make an appropriation of from $10O,000 to $200 900 in behalf of the exposition.
 MT. Bryan will remain at his home in Lincoln for an indefinite period.

RETURNS FROM KENTUCKY.
Latest Returns Assure the Success of tn,
 Republican Ticket


 Louisville, Nov Sup to 10 o'clock tonight the Courier-Journal had no new figures on the result of the election in Kentucky, and it's estimate of Me- Kinleys plurality stands at 4s9, with six counties to be heard from officially. Whether or not the discrepancy be- tween the votes for different electors on the same ticket has resulted in the choice of one Bryan elector and twelve Mckinley electors cannot be known positively until the state canvassing board foots up the vote for each elec- tor.
 The democratic leaders still claim the state. The republican state committee will close up shop tomorrow. Chair man Roberts issued his final bulletin to-day as follows:
 Practically complete returns give Mckinley 444 plurality in Kentucky, unofficial advices indicating that the four missing counties will increase rather than decrease these figures. The republicans elect four members of congress and a judge of the highest court of the state, and have secured a majority of two in the general assem- biy on joint ballot which insures the election of a republican successor to Senator Blackburn"

s1LVER FIGHT TO BE CONTINUED.
A Permanent Headquarters to be Estab-
 Iished at Washington


 Washington, Nov. S.-The silver lead CTS have decided to maintain headquar- ters here and use it is the agency through which their literature is to be spread broadcast over the land. Gen eral A. J. Warner, president of the Bi- metallic union, has issued an address to the Silver league ard Bimetallic union in winch in part, he says:
 Silver has lost in this election, but the battle for the overthrow of the gold standard has not ended. The victory for gold is a victory of trusts and syn dicated wealth, brought about by cor ruption and coercion, and not a victory of the people or for the people, and it cannot last. There must be an end also to the constant appreciation of money. The battle for the restoration of silver must go on without abate- ment.
 ''The noble fight made by our intrep- i'd leader in the campaign just ended endears him to all who believe in the righteousness of our cause and under his leadership we believe victory will be won in 19O0.''

S.-The city has only thirty days supply of water in the come, pond and river water will have to be used with the low water, which has already caused many cases of ma larial and typhoid fever.

DRUNKEN CAPTAINS CRIME
IT COST HIM HIS LITE AND THE
 LIVES OF SIX OF THE CREW.

Schooner Waulxesha Foundercd in Lake
 Michigan-One of Her Crew Reaches the
 Shore Completely Exhausted On an Im-
 provised Raft-Tells of Tale of Criminal
 CuIpability on the Part of the Captain.
 Muskegon, Mich. Nov. 8.-Schooner Waukesha was wrecked off this port early this morning and six lives were lost. But one man, of a crew of seven, commanded by a drunken captain, reached shore Two bodies have been recovered.
 At 1:30 this morning the beach patrol man on the south shore of the harbor reported werckage coming ashore. In the wreckage was found the name plate of the schooner Waukesha, commanded by Captain Duncan Corbett loaded with salt and bound from Ludington to South Chicago.
 At break of day the lookout at the life station here spied the wreck of a vessel lying half 6 mile off the harbor. Captain Wood went out with his crew and found a sailor clinging to an inn provised raft The man was able to wave to the life savers as they came up and more dead than alive was taken to the station.
 Tonight he was able to talk He said his name was Frank Delach, that they left Ludington on Friday and im- mediately the captain began drinking. The captain and mate and a, sailor named Fred were soon deeply intoxi- cated. The boat pealed badly all the way
 When they. came in sight of Mus kegon the master did not know where he was and anchored one and one-half miles out, against the protests of De- 1ache, who wanted him to either enter the harbor or go ashore, saying they could not live where they were.
 The drunken captain, however, would not listen to Delache and declined to allow any signals to be given to bring help, locking up the torches. Shortly afterwards the boat began breaking up and the men sought safety in the rig ging. One by one the masts fell, killing the negro cook. The other six clung to the wreckage and were washed away one by one, Delache's mate being the last. A tremendous wave swept him away just as day broke.
 The Waukesha carried 600 tons of salt. She registered BIO tons. Her owner was F. H. Head of Chicago.

sP4N14EDs oUrn4en AMERICANS.
A U. s. Citizen Badly Wounded and wo-
 men Insulted.

men Insulted
 Key West, Fla, Nov. S.-Passengers from Havana bring intelligence of another outrage committed on an American citizen. The victim has filed protest before Vice Consul Springer, and the case has been sent to Washing ton.
 It appears that near the town of San Jose de Las Laias a Spanish force pa- trolling the country surprised three rebels who fled. In order to discover the hiding place of the fugitives the Spanish force was divided into squads and they were sent in different direc- tions One of these parties went to an erick L. Craycraft, native of Indiana, and only two years in Cuba, was man ager. They entered the residence, de- stroyed the furniture and ransacked the premises. The women present were insulted in an outrageous manner.
 Craycraft protested that he was an American. This incensed the officer in command, who drew sword and com menced slashing at Craycraft. The lat ter managed to avert death, but was wounded in the back, receiving a fear full gash that carried away part of the flesh. His forearm was also cut to the bone The other officer interfered and saved his life Craycraft was forced to gve up $160 in his possession. In the meantime Craycraft heard great out cries outside and went later and found that seventeen 'pacifiicos" had been killed There was not one insurgent amongst them All this was reported last week as a great Spanish victory.
 Letters received from Puerto Principe give further details of the capture of the capture of the town of Guaimaro by Calixto Garcia. The whole garrison, 160 men, surrendered and are still pris- oners, although Garcia sent word to Castellanos that he would deliver them to him. Garcia is also attending to the officers and soldiers wounds It is rumored Weyler has issued secret orders to military commanders in sugar districts prohibiting grinding except on Spanish property. Orders have been is sued to seize foreigners residing on sugar states, to kill cattle and destroy implements and to stimulate a fight in order to scare the farmers and the laborerS.
 Passengers from Havana also report that numerous insurgents from the command of General Gomez have en- tered the province of Matanzas during the past few days and have caused General Weyler to dispatch six thou sand of his troops, stationed in Pinar del Rio district into Matanzas. Con- siderable excitement exists in Havana and also in Matanzas, the people fear ing an attack on the latter place.
