C. P. HUNTINGTON'S GIFT.
Donates a Celebrated Painting to a
New York Art Museum

New York, Mrch Sc. P. Hunting
ton has addressed the following letter
to the trustees of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art:
Gentlemen: 1t gives me much pleas
ure to present to the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art the portrait of Washington
painted by c. w. Peale, which is now
on exhibition at the gallery of S. P.
Avery. I beg you to accept it with
my compliments.
This painting I consider a very fine
example OF the artist, and it really
seems almost unjustifiahle for a private
citizen to keep it to himself when there
is such a multitude of good American
citizens who ought to have the oppor-
tunity of seeing freely and without ex-
pense so good a likeness of the father
of his country
In presenting it to the Museum of
Art, I feel that I have made the wisest
possible disposition of it, and whatever
pleasure the contemplation Of this pic
ture may afford to the good people of
New York and elsewhere will, am
sure, be fully equalled by my own graf
ification at being able to give it to one
of the peoples worthiest institutions"
The gift has been accepted

PLATT GETS HUFFY.
He Would Not Write His Name Un-
der That of Richard Croker.

Washington, March 4 senator-elect
Thomas c. Platt declines to play sec
ond fiddle to Dick Croker, the former
grand sachem of Tammany Hall. Platt
was at the capitol last evening and was
much besieged by pages for autographs
One lad had a large autograph album
of which he is very proud, and in which
he desires to get as many names of
great men as possible. For that reason
he has established the practice of get
ting two names on a page.
The last distinguished visitor at the
capitol who wrote in this lads book
was Richard Croker. When. therefore,
he opened his autograph album before
the New York senatOr-elect. the in
genious boy, looking up into Mr.. Platts
face, said: please write your name
there just under Mr.. Crokers.'
One or two persons were near enough
to hear Mr.. Platt's reply.
Il have the highest regard, my son, -
said the easy boss" for the gentle
man who has written his name here
upon this spotless page, but 1 must de-
cline for reasons which you might not
understand to sign my name after his. "
Then Mr.. Platt turned over two or
three pages and wrote his name in an
other place all by itself.

LONE WOLF GOES HOME.
Indian Football Player Will Teach
His Tribe the Science.

Chicago. March 5.-Delos Lone Wolf,
center rush of the Calisle Indian foot
ball team, which defeated Wisconsin at
the Coliseum last December, arrived in
Chicago yesterday on his way home to
the Cherokee reservation in North Da-
kota, where he will begin organizing
Young Mems Christian associations and
foot ball teams, having been graduated
at Carlisle.
Speaking of the Carlisle team and its
prospects for next season Lone Wolf
said it would easily lead all the eastern
teams. We have learned the things we
needed to know the last year, and will
strengthen all the weak points. We
expect to play many games, and sew
eral in the west. We shall in all prob
ability play in Chicago at least one
game, as Northwestern wants a con-
test.
Our team next fall will outclass the
one of last fall, as the men now know
the game and have the advantage of a
seasons experience, and nearly all the
old players will be on hand. 1t is quite
probable shall go back and play again

BURR $50 CALLED TRAITOR
Fair Students of Politics Laud the
Villain and Libertine.

New York, March Sat the weekly
meeting of the society for political
study yesterday afternoon, at No. IA
Madison avenue, Mrs. st. John Gaffney
started discussion. She referred to
the manner in which a former speaker
had spoken of Aaron Burr throughout
her paper. She had invariably said the
so called traitor
Il think myself that he was largely
the victim of circumstances, said Mrs.
Gaffney. 1T has occurred to me that
he was too big a man for that era.
Some one had to be sacrificed, and he
was the one.
1T was a pity the government didn't
throw the whole thing on Burr. We
are now having new light thrown on
Napoleon, Josephine, Lincoln, Wash
ington and others, and it seems to me
that the new lights are the true ones.
May we not think differently of Aaron
BURR"
Mrs. Mary Holmes Bates also put in
a plea for Burr, as did Mrs. LIE Roy
Sunderland Smith, who ended with:
why, even Judas 1scariOt has been
painted white of late, and I'd rather
think it of him"
the gay Aaron, until the Rev. Phoebe
Hanaford, president of the club, arose
and froWned them down. She admit
ted that Burr was remarkably bril-
liant man, and she was sorry that Mrs.
Lille Devereux Blake had gone away
'She would no doubt have had some
thing interesting to say of him, for
both he and Mrs Blake received their
brilliancy from their ancestor, JOna-
than Edwards" said Mrs. Hanaford.
"Of course, there are many things call
ed treason in our history that would
now be termed patriotism, but cannot
indorse Burr'S private life. 1 do not
approve of smoothing things over

The greatest danger from La Grippe
is of its resulting in pneumonia If
reasonable care is used, however, and

all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe, we have yet to
learn of a single case resulting in pneu-

Invention of an Ohio Convict Con-

Columbus, March 5.-Wm. Bridges,
the most notorious horse thief who ever
served time in the middle states, was
released from the penitentiary this
morning.
Bridges is an inventor, and during his
term of Imprisonment says that he has
invented a bicycle which he says does
the work itself The weight of the rid
er furnishes the propelling power, and
after a man is once mounted the ma
chine will go off itself. He says that
the only trouble he has yet discovered
about the machine is to stop it. 1t is a
little hard to get off when it is in full
career and the application of brakes has
no effect on his new machine.
