James D. Phetdh-DEAR SIR: Please accept my
thanks for your favor OF the 24th and the Kind
consideration you have given me forthe posi-
ton l am compelled 10 take in this matter, and
II shall hand the entire correspondence over to
the Goethe-Scniller Association In order 10
inform all those interested in this matter
have had all the correspondence published in
the California Demokrat. i agree with you as
regards TO the definition OF replica ) ii repro
duction OF a work OF art Especially p&lnting)
by the same. artist who createq The original. -:
AS the work OF a sculpture is actually fin
ished by the modelling, and as the proposed
monument Will be cast from the original
modes, which is preserved in Dresden, con
sldered myself entitled TO use The word Re
plica, but ain perfectly willing to use another
word with the same meaning.
The committee will be surely grateful to the
San Francisco Art Association II their good in
tentions are directed against such aJroeious
original art works as Cogswell's statue or Lot
ta's fountain, and the continual repainting OF
the latter.
Nevertheless, l believe tn at our controversy
will have the effect OF lessening The enthusi.
asm Tor even undertaking the purpose OF
which was only to Deautlfy the park and honor
the immortal poets
L sincerely hope that our monument will not
share similar fate as the Grant monument
which was proposed many years ago with so
much energy and which was planned 10 cost
100000.
considerable sum was subscribed. but only
$500 was raised, and for which proportion
ateiy modest monument was made for our
honored hero, and which was also made in Eu-
rope.
will endeavor to avoid a repetition of this
case but will not be held responsible should
the good will fail for further aid, l remain,
CHARLES BUNDsCHU.
The Art Association will stick to its be-
lief that California talent should be used
il making the work which is to remain IN
California park, even if It is necessary to
reduce the size OF the work. The habit of
sending abroad for things artistic is not
meeting with much approval among the
artists of San Francisco, and they have de-
cided TO make the first grand fight against
it in the matter of the Goethe-Schiller
monument.

view this proposition may appear quite ac-
Ceptable, but am convinced that the aitera-

Chief JOSEPH.
One of the Ncbicst Figures and Greatest
Warriors In Indian History.

One of the Ncbicst Figures and Greatest
Warriors In Indian History.
One of the noblest figures in Indian
history and one Of the greatest warriors
is tho Nez Perez Chief Joseph In this
same year, 1877, he had resisted at
tempts to put him and his band on the
Lapwai reservation III western Idaho
and had sought to carry all his people
hundreds Of miles TO Canada. He out
ran the force that General Howard had
on his trail, escaped from Big Hole,
where General Gibbon fought him, and
again from General Sturgis, Who en-
gagged him in the Yellowstone valley.
Sturgis had been sent out by Miles. and
when the latter, on the evening of Sept.
~. heard what had occurred, he started
the same night with all the available
force of the Tongue river cantonment
to head off Chief Joseph before he
should reach the border.
Hard marching brought the command,
on the last day of the month, to 10
sep:I's village in the Bear Paw noun
tains. The heroic attack was resisted
with valor rs heroic, and in short
time Captain Hale, Lieutenant Biddle
and % soldiers were killed and Off
GERS and 3S soldiers wounded, among
them being Lieutenant Baird of tho
generals staff. One gallant charge by
Captain Carter, with a small body If
Fifth infantry, had cost over third of
his command. Promptly varying his
plans, therefore, and adapting them to
the situation, the general moved up his
artillery, and disposed the troops SO as
to hold the Indians under siege, with
escape impossible.
On the sixth day Chief Joseph adj
vanced to surrender. 1t was scene for
a painter, typical Scene in American
history, when this noble looking war
riOr, facing General Miles, q worthy
counterpart in mien and bearing, hand
ed his rifle to his white conqueror, and
with impressive dignity pointed to the
sun i'll the heavens, saying, From
where the sun now stands, fight no
more"
General Miles, i'll announcing the
victory, used the terse, significant
phrase, Eve have had our usual sue
cess" His full report described his
brave adversaries as "the boldest men
and best marksmen Of any Indians
have ever encountered" and Chief Jo-
seph as "a man of more sagacity ana
intelligence than any Indian 1 have
ever met. ''-tieorge Z. Pond in Nc

parcel had been given him by John c.
Colt. who paid him for taking it to the
vessel. In the meantime the disappear
ance of Samuel Adams, who was u well
known, respectable man, had been report
cd To the police and was being discussed
by the papers. Colt WAS at once arrested
and. to the surprise of every one, confessed
to the crime. In explanation he said that
he cwe,l Adams some money, but not so
much rs WIS claimed. He paid him all he
could afford on the day of the murder, but
Adams, not satisfied, became violent and
assaulted him. In self defense, as Colt
claimed, hc struck the man over the head
with IL billet of wood. intending only to
disable him. hut found, TO his horror, that
he had killed him.
Overcome with srcad and thinking only
of his own safety. Colt at once hit upon
the plan Of cutting up the body. placing it
in Il boz and disposing of it as has been
before described.
Colts trial lasted for ten days, and al
though he was ably defended the jury
brought i'm Il verdict of murder in the first
degree. Before this crime Colt, who was
about 80 years of age. was engaged to be
married toa accomplished young. woman
named Caroline Henshaw. From first to
last this woman devotion was unshaken
On the dag set for the execution Miss
Henshaw, accompanied by Colts brother
and John Howard Payne, famous as the
author of "Home. Sweet Home" went to
the Tombs and was there married to the
condemned man. the Rev. Mr.. Anthem
performing the ceremony.

the sheriff went back to the cell to bring
Colt out for execution.
The sheriff found John G.. Colt lying on
his cot. HIS hands coInposct!!y crossed on
his breast and knife buried in his heart
Who gave the prisoner the knife is a
question that has never been settled
There are people still living who believe
that Colts friends set fire to the prison,
and tina: during the excitement Colt was
permitted To escape and IA body substitut-
I'd by his friends, conveying the impress
sion Of "a suicide.

TO the American today. This celebrated
