AN AMBITIOUS WOMAN.
Mrs. Kicker Wants to BE United States
Minister to Colombia.

Minister to Colombia.
You would naturally expect of a wo.
man who wanted to be appointed minis
ter extraordinary and envoy plenipoten-
tiary of the United States to the United
States of Colombia some originality and
previous evidence of superior mental
qualifications. Mrs. Marilla Marks
Kicker, who aspires to the diplomatic
post in question, fills the bill. In sew
eral ways she has proved herself to be a
woman of uncommon brilliancy of mind,
and she makes her application to Presi-
dent Mckinley in all seriousness and
confidence.
Mrs. Kicker is a New Hampshire girl
and was born on the shores of Lake Win
nepesaukee. Her father was Jonathan
b. Young, cousin of Brigham Young,
the Mormon leader He owned a big
farm and gave his daughter the best of
educational advantages In 1869 she
was married and went to Dover, N. Ii. ,

NELLIE F. MEARs AT WORK IN HER STUDIO.
Worlds fair. At that time she had not
even had the benefit of training in
art. st. Gaudens, the famous sculptor,
saw her work, however, and sent for
her to work in his New York studio.
After year or so of this excellent ex-
perience Miss Mears was encouraged to
go to Paris to study.
Although her means were limited,
Miss Mears bravely sailed away with a
letter to MacMonnies in her pocket and
another enthusiastic Wisconsin girl to
bear her company. She has been work
ing hard in Paris for year, studying
drawing every forenoon in the ateliers
and in the afternoon going back to her
attic studio, where she works ON the
models which she some day hopes to see
reproduced in marble, as has been the
plaster design which first won her fame
and which now decorates the new capi-
tol building at Madison.
An American friend who hunted her
up recently in Paris writes: Miss
Mears has the walls Of her attic decorat-
ed with studies and half finished sketch
es. OF some of these she is proud, and
of others she declares that they are so
faulty that they will never be shown
anywhere else. They all looked strong
and splendid to me. When she has
piece ready to be criticised, Mr.. Mac
Monnies comes and assists her with sug-
gestions. Like many other young stu
dents here, Miss Mears has heavy
heart when she realizes that she must
soon go home. The $500 prize money
which she has husbanded so well is now
about exhausted, while her studies are
hardly begun"

FAME CAME EARLY.
But Miss Mears Works as Hard as Ever
In Her Studio.

In an obscure attic in Paris there is
working away today a young woman
from Oshkosh, Wis, who three years
ago was more talked about and written
about than perhaps any of the younger
school of artists At the age of 10 she
had achieved fame at single bound.

Annexation Of Hawaii.

Washington, June 24.-The Hawaiian
treaty of annexation was taken up by
the senate committee on foreign rela-
tions. After the document and accom-
panying papers had been read and dis
cussed they were referred to subcom-
mittee.
The subcommittee is made up Of SEN
ators Davis and Foraker (Reps.) and
Morgan (Dem).
No agreement was reached as to when
the treaty would be considered by the
senate, and that question will depend
largely upon the recommendations made
by the subcommittee. While none of
the committee would acknowledge that
the protest made by Japan against the
ratification of the treaty as it now
stands had been received, it was prob
ably read and referred to the subcom-
mittee together with the convention and
the messages Of the president and Secre-
tary Sherman.
In view Of the delicate questions
brought up by the position assumed by
Japan, motion was adopted putting
the members OF the committee under
unusual bans as TO disclosing the pro-
ceedings Of the committee.
