Francis L.athrop,s Light OF the world" In
81. bartholomew Church.

Francis Lathrop's Light OF the world" IN
st. Bartho1omew's Church.
There was a private view Yesterday at 81.
Bartholomew's Church Of Francis Lathrop's
mural painting. THE Light OF the World" on
which he has been enRagedfor two years. The
painting will not be visible at the church ser
vices to-day. but will be dedicated at services
on All Saints Day. Tuesday. The picture Is a
memorial given to the church by the wife and
children and the brother OF the late George
Kemp. The subject is the text Mark. kill. 10.
"a: 1.-THE Son Of Maj coming in the clouds
with great power and glory. And then He shall
send His angels and shall gather together His
elect"
The composition is very beautiful. It Is. as
nearly as possible, all light. The central mass
Is one great effulGence in which the figure OF
Christ seems not to emerge. but rather to form
itself OF the light rays, whose co~nverRence is
such that the white drapery OF the figure APP
pears to formulate and take its substance from
them-a bursting suns rays 80 fall as with
the tall. central figure OF Christ and some OF
those of angels at tho sides to suggest a cross.
There Is beneath the feet Of Christ and falling

are in attitudes OF alteration and expectancy.
Some. with downcast eyes. rather feel than see

The attitude of Christ is one. OF welcome and
benediction, and the poise Of His arms be-
tokens. protection to those He seems to be
gathering to Him. Two angels marshal the
hosts OF the elect with palms. and two other
angels. Faith and Hope. are ready to crown. In
Christ. their complement. Charity and Love.
Angels with harp and Tyre appear holding the
crown. and above all q company Of the celes-
coming of the saints and the elect to their own.
Below the glowing radiance Of the central mass
kneel two angels painted In shadow. giving re-
lief to the intense light. which Is the governing
idea OF the composition.
Seventy-eiRht figures are comprised in the
composition. a greater number than are in any
similar work In New York. John Lafarge's In
the Church of the Ascension and Blackfield's
ceiling at the Astoria are perhaps tho best
known Il not the only pretentious mural paint
ings in the city comparable in size, with this
one. but In neither are so many heads and tlg-
ures. The surface area OF the canvas Is nearly
800 square feet. The canvas Is cementeda and
rolled onto the wall. In the massive frame In
gold arabesque the subject text is set in Gothic
letters.

The Kings county Grand Jury has presented
two indictments against the Brooklyn Heights
Railroad Company for alleged violation Of the
Labor law by requiring" and permitting"
an employee to work for more than ten con-
secutive hours in a day. The indictments are
based on the testimony of William Morey. q
motorman on the road. who alleges that he was
continuously at work from 1898 P. N. on Oct. II
until 2:45 A. NJ. on the GLOWING morning.
under section 3S4-H of chapter 416o of the Laws
of 1897, The Knights Of Labor have been
pushing the prosecution. 1t has always been
commended by the opponents of the law that It
Is unconstitutional. inasmuch as it deprives a
citizen Of the. privilege. Of working as many
hours as he pleased. This point will probably
now he raised by the company. The penalty
provided for the offence is a fine OF not less
than $500. nor more than $1,000.

guarding a mountain pass a few miles
from Bradyville. Tenn. A portion of the
valley leading to the pass was densely
wooded and swampy. The marshy ground
abOunded in bullfrogs of huge proper
lions. and the trees afforded myriads OF
owls of immense size a roostng place.
Among the soldiers was STRIPPING from
near Stanford by the name of Spreeler.
1t was a gloomy. wild and windy night
that Spreeler was called upon to do guard
duty. Along about 1 O'Clock, when the
sky was of a leaden hue and the wind
signed fitfully through the trees, an owl on
a nearby limb hooted:

The Coast Survey Vessels Gedney and
Patterson to Go to Alaska.

The urgent deficiency bill, which recently
passed Congress, having contained an ap-
preparation of 100000 for the survey of
the Yukon river and the vicinity Of its
mouth, the Gedney and the Patterson have
been detailed to perform this service The
Gedney is now being fitted out at Oakland,
Cal. She will be commanded by Lieut. J.
NJ. Helm, U. 8. N. who is one of the most
capable officers attached to the coast and
geodetic survey, and who has been selected
for this difficult work on account of his ex-
perience and well-known reputation.
The Patterson will be commanded by
Lieutenant Commander Charles T. Forse
[. S. N. who relieves Lieutenant Com
ma-nder E. K. Moore. L. s. NJ who has
been in command of the Patterson for the
past three years. Owing to the many
shoals and total lack of aids to navigation
on the Alaskan coast and to absence of
definite knowledge of the Yukon, the cruise
of the Gedney and the Patterson in the
vicinity of the Yukon delta and into the
river will be extremely arduous The main
work will be to find a better channel
through the delta into the river.

HOW THE INDIANS DIED,
Story of the Burning of the Seminole,
In Oklahoma.

Story of the Burning OF the SeminoIcs
In Oklahoma.
The Attorney General has sent to the
Senate letter written by Assistant United
States Attorney McMechan giving the re-
suits Of his investigation into the recent
burning of two Seminole Indians in Okla
homa by mob. He says that the senti-
ment in the ne!ghborhood of the crime is
all with the mob, and he was informed
that 1t would not be well for him or any
other person to go into that locality IL it
was known that the object was to locate
the conspirators. Mr.. McMechans letter
tells In the main old story but he gives
some new details. McGisy was he saws
the first of the Indians to move a muscle
after the torch was applied, and he did not
move until the flesh was beginning to drop
from his limbs and the fire was beginning to
touch his ears. He then gave a loud whoop
and bent over far as the chain would
allow him, and sucking IN the leaping
flames, sank down and expired without
showing any more signs of pain. Not so
with Palmer Sampson; he did not move I'M
til after McGisy had inhaled the flames.
Then he commenced to kick with both feet
throwing burning pieces Of wood twenty
nVe or fifty feet away. 1t was with diff
Guilty that they succeeded in getting him
burned
Mr.. McMechan says that a BAPTIST min
lister named Hiram Holt prayed for the two
Indians before their execution and that as
he knelt in prayer he held a rifle in his
hand.

Seized a Sleeping Deer.

Carl Sharrow Of Baraboo had an exciting
experience yesterday afternoon. While
passing through the woods on the BLUM
near the city he espied deer lying by
the wayside. and supposing the animal was
dead. he proceeded to lift 1t just to see how
heavy it was. This awoke the creature
from its sleep and the big buck sprang to
his feet in great excitement. Sharrow
chung to the horns of the beast and was
dragged along for forty rods or more and
came out much the worse for his exper-
ience. He Is now nursing some painful
bruises where he came In contact with the
bucks big horns and surrounding objects.
The deer escaped.
