mitted under the old dispensation.
For four years Williams was religious
free lance He knew the languages of all
the tribes living near the great lakes and
these he visited, studying their habits and
traditions, living as they did and preach
ing and teaching as the occasion offered.
"He made many friends among the Indi-
ans, hut we failed to find one convert whose
salvation can be traced to Mr.. Williams, e"
wrote one who was evidently not an ad-
mirer.
If at oil, it was during these four years
that Williams prepared his post facto
diaries and perfected that audacious scheme
of imposition that was destined to make
him temporarily the most talked of living
man, and which divided the red men as
well as the whites
In 1850 Eleazar Williams settled at St
Regis, near Montreal, where he found a
welcome among the Indians, who had
known him in his youth. Here, it is said
he wrote for the papers, and from this place
he set afloat the story that the son of Louis
XVI, the dauphin, was alive and in Amer
lea 1t was this newspaper report that
started DR.. Hanson on his inquiries and
led him in 1858 to publish the article,
Have We Bourbon Among Us?"
Dr. Hanson was not satisfied with the
rumors, stories and letters pro and con that
poured in on him after this startling paper
appeared in Putnams. SIN the interest of
justice and historic truth, " the good man
made visit to st. Regis, where he was
courteously received by Williams. After
that the interest was intensified and, as
has been said, became worldwide.
Williams was quiet, cultured dark,
handsome, and to the eye all that the dau-
phin might have been had he survived.

"A Succ essfuI Woman Artist.

Miss Cecilia Beaux has passed beyond
the limits of mere popularity and has
become famous. No less than six Of heI
pictures are to be seen at the Champ dc
Mars salon in Paris, and the critical
French people are loud in their praise
of her work.
Miss Beaux is young woman, well
bred, dignified and of pleasing person
atty. Her coloring is fair and her feat
ures strong, particularly her broad, firm
mouth. Her hand is characteristic of the
woman. 1t is not small, but is white,
well formed and strong.
Her studio is in the top Of tall
building on Chestnut street, Philadel-
phia. 1t consists of two tiny rooms that
have been thrown into one. 1t is lighted
by wide skylight and two small win
dows that look out ON the street. 1t is
an attractive room and veritable work
shop There are a few casts about, a
fine old piece of tapestry on the wall,
an old carved chest, one or two bits of
drapery and the necessary paraphernalia
of the artists work. There are no use
less knickknacks, no "odds and ends.

and that 1t was understood that two

child to the tribe.
Physicians of undoubted standing WIS.,
tied Williams and made affidavits that he
had no Indian blood In his veins. Artists
visited him and made pictures-said to be
likenesses-that bore convincing resem-
blance to the reputed father, Louis XVI.
Proof was forthcoming that for many
years money had been sent to the Indians
from France to pay for the care of THE
Lost Prince"
The opponents Of what they called "the
great impostor, although somewhat dis
heartened by the accommodating evidence in
favor Of Williams, still kept at work
John Jay, who had recently been minis
ter to Austria, and who died in 1894 in
New York, wrote to the Prince de Join
Vile asking for the facts The prince re-
piled that he had never seen or heard of
the man Williams till news of 1.-THE Ameri-
can impostor" reached him through the
papers He proved the absurdity of the
claim, and Mr.. Jay gave the letter to the
world.
This letter was a staggering blow to the
adherents of 1.-THE lost prince" Other
proofs came in quick succession The fol-
lowers began to fall away in Masses till
finally he who had gone up as rocket and
dazzled the world for q brief hour came
down like the proverbial stick.
Williams sank into obscurity. He died
poor Aug. 2S, 1858, among the red sur
vivors of his mothers family, and is buried
at st. Regis He was man of undoubted
ability, and the student is compelled to

due to the delusion of an unhinged mind

Coroner Kate Horner.

CDR. Kate G. Horner, Coroner, is the
legend on plain board nailed to the
front Of neat two story frame house
in the little town Of Fender, Thurston
county, Neb., on the border Of the Oma-
ha reservation. Miss Horner was put up
for the place by the Democrats last fall,
and is the first woman coroner ever
elected. She is 23 years of age. A COR
respondent who visited her Office and
had expected to meet an elderly and
plain woman Of masculine mold twas
visibly ratified as this handsome, viva
cious young woman eyed him with
pair of calm, blue, magnetic eyes. >"
Miss Horner, while clerk in Des
Moines drug store, studied medicine
and took diploma at Sioux City col
lege She continues the practice Of
medicine in her new home, frequently
answers calls on the Indian reservation,
and does more than half of the medical
practice in Thurston county. The cow
boys call her an angel and would lay
down their lives for her. Whenever she
goes out on a mission, some gallant but
bashful cowboy follows at distance to
see that no harm overtakes the pretty
young doctor. Chicago Times Herald.

More Trimming For New Skirts.

The new skirts for outdoor wear, says
a fashion authority, appear more gener-
ally with some kind of trimming, yet
for the most part in straight or sloping
lines in the length. If the edge is to be
ornamented. this is done by putting a
broad band of velvet in darker color
all round. Sometimes such bands are
fastened down at pretty long distances
with large buttons and sloped ends, to
mitigate the admired tabs so largely
used for trimmings. On evening dresses
the decoration covers the front Of the
skirt and takes the shape Of tablier,
panel and robipg of plated lace or
tulle, silk of another color, sequin en-
broidery, and. SO forth.

fore reaching our destination so as to pre-
vent suspicion as to our movements. The
man that sent the call for help met us and
said he had located out in the country a
bunch of men that had been acting strange
ly. We waited till dark and sent TO the
livery stable after horses. Then we rode off
toward the place where the strangers We're
eve lay near the house until daylight and
captured one of the desperadoes who was
acting as sentinel. He did not wish to go
with us to the house, as he said there was
to be a hell of fight. So we tied him to
a tree and advanced The outlaws did not
know we were near until we raped on the
door and asked them to come out and see
how pretty the weather was. Their reply
to this polite invitation was several shots
through the door. We then opened fire.
and those within replied Finally ball
from one of our guns struck the magazine
of a winchester in the hands of one of the
outlaws, and piece of the broken maya
zine cut deep cash in the outlaws chin.
They all then retreated up stairs and kept
up the firing. We broke in the door and
fired into the room above through the cell
ing when the outlaws decided 1t was time
to ring down the curtain and surrender.
They came down stairs with their empty
hands in front of them, and we gave each
of them a pair of bracelets. 1t was four
out of Bill Cooks gang of six, and we had
six men on our side. Among those cap
tured was Skeeter Cooks right bower. 1
keep as memento of the affair Skeeter's
leather coat, pair of huge spurs taken
from the dead body of one of the outlaws
and Cooks belt of cartridges found in the
house, though Cook himself was absent
and thus escaped capture"

hat may be a costly affair.
Ouanah, the Comanche chief, whose
braves the rangers put to flight In 1870,
now lives In northern Texas. He recently
described the battle to young ranger.
1.-THE rangers, said Quanah, rode out
on the prairie tied their horses to the sad
die horns by their brides and opened fire
on us. MY men fell fast. We fired and
tried to kill horses. Then the rangers lay
behind their dead horses and killed us like
grass We tried to rush them. Twice we
tried and failed After much time they did
not fire so fast We thought powder and
bullets all gone. Then, as we were going
to charge again, they all stood up. They
took off their hats and yelled We were
much "locoed" (deceived). At last we
charged, but you rangers don't fight like
palefaces, but like devils We killed 81,
but you killed us like grass.
There were SO rangers against 200 Co
manches in this fight.
One Of the latest notable exploits Of the
rangers was the capture of the Bill Cook
gang of cutthroats operating in Texas and
Indian Territory c. b. Fullerton, one of
the rangers who took part in the capture,
describes 1t thus:

For the veranda.

A well equipped summer veranda
must be furnished not only with ham,
mocks and cushions galore as well as
comfortable rustic chairs, but it must
have japanese porch curtain and some
of the artistically colored hanging of
japanese vases. Vines that flourish in
these throughout the warm months will
be invaluable in the winter library to
lend touch of growing foliage which
is now deemed indispensable in the
modish room.

A denial of the story led to to recovery to 107$l, but near the close the price dropped back to 1o7, The early weakness in the general list soon gave way to strength, but the advance failed to stimulate trading.
 The most favorable development of the day was the engagement of over three millions of gold in London for shipment to New York. The arrivals were also heavy, aggregating $1,652,500. A brisk demand prevailed for the metal and local bullion dealers raised their | commissions slightly.
