Red Men Pay Tribute.

At o'clock delegation of the Improved
Order of Red Men, in charge of the Great
Incohonee, George E. Green Of Binghamton,
n. Y, and Charles II. Pitchman OF Mar
blehead, Mass, arrived at Mount Vernon to
pay the tribute OF 900 Red Men to the
memory of Washington. He was one of the
founders of the Sons of Liberty" to which
the Red Men trace back their origin through
varying names. The chiefs to officiate at
the tomb were selected by Great lncohonee
Green who appointed as master Of ceremon-
les Urban H. Hester Of Ohio, past grand
sachem.
After Chief Hester had read the call for
the observance of the day and the great
prophet, Robert T. Daniels, had invoked the
great spirit, Acting Great Incohonee Lach-
man pronounced the oraton upon Washing

thought and diction and quite worthy of it's

He was followed by the Great Chief Of
Records Charles H. Conley, with beauti-
full message to the Red Men Of the world.

a handsome silk flag on standard to which
were attached four ribbons of the colors Of
the order-green orange, blue and scarlet

while strong with his own generation, he
is stronger even in the Judgment of the
generations which have followed. After a
lapse of a century he is better appreciated,
more perfectly understood, more thoroughly
venerated and loved than when he lived. He
remains an ever increasing influence for
good in every part and sphere of action OF
the republic. He is recognized as not only
the most far-sighted statesman OF his
generation, but as having had almost
prophetic vision He built, not alone for
his own time, but for the great future, and
pointed the rightful solution Of many of the
problems which were to arise in the years
to come.
THE nation needs at this moment the
help of his wise example. In dealing with
our vast responsibilities We turn to him.
We invoke the counsel of his life and

The work OF establishing an effective
police control over diverse races and
subject populations is not confined to
India alone, says William Cunningham
in the Atlantic. 1t is coming to the
front in every part of the globe. The
problem of governing diverse races on

OF the future; and it is one which Eng

rible difficulties and many mistakes.

not shrink from trying to face it in
other parts Of the globe. This is the
meaning Of English imperialism; we

to mankind; there must be strong
civil authority established to keep the
peace and punish the wrong-doer.

men are ready to undertake this police

jealousy it breeds, but we will not
shirk the responsibility when it comes

street. 1t required the widespread
tendency toward trade combinations
which has been the fruit of the revival
Of business to develop the peculiar tall
ents for organization which Mr.. Dill
possesses.
Within the last twelve months this
young man, who came into Wall street
as struggling young lawyer, scarcely
more than ten years ago, has organized
trade combinations whose aggregate
capital is little less than $60O,000000
James Brooks Dill was born forty-fiye
years ago at Spencerport. in northern
New York. His father moved to Chi
cago soon after, and thence went with
the northern army. He lost his life in
the war and the later youth of the son
was spent in New Haven. He gradu-
ated from Yale in 1876 and began the
study of law in the Office of E. Copes
Mitchell, in Philadelphia. About a
year later Mr.. Dill entered the senior
law class of the New York university.
He was graduated among the honor
men of 1878 He made his first success
in the litigation over the failure of the
commercial agency of McKillop,
Sprague & Co., in which the question
of the liability of the directors for COR
porate debts was raised. Mr.. Dill was
counsel to one of the directors and won
the case for his client, while the other
directors were defeated. The victory
gave Mr.. Dill standing, if not promi-
hence, as a corporation lawyer, and he
Immediately devoted himself almost
exclusively to that circle of law. He
met with his greatest successes in the
New Jersey courts and came to be rec
ognized as the leading authority on
corporation law in that state. His
book on Jersey corporation law known
as Dill on New Jersey Corporations"
is standard work that is used in all
law offices. 1t was because of this
comprehensive knowledge of New Jer-
sey law, which is particularly benefi-
Gent in its treatment of trusts, that
led the promoters of nearly all the big
industrial corporations to seek Mr..
Dill's counsel. Among the combina-
tons in which Mr.. Dill's- personal hold
ings are large are the American Tin
plate company, the American Steam
ship company and the American Steel
and Wire company. Mr.. Dill is also
director in the North American Trust
company. He is married and lives in
East Orange, N. j.

How do you do it,? one of them was
asked.
What have l got my thighs and

Unlike the peasant women of other
parts, the Lithuanians wear skirts
reaching nearly to the ground, which
shows that their clothes are primarily
adopted for riding; the uniform of the
amazon regiment follows the national
dress common in old Prussia in all re-
spects. The regiment has been divided
into five squadrons, recognizable by
first squadron is light blue, for the
second violet, for the third green, for
the fourth red, and for the fifth yellow.
These frocks are accordion pleated and
wide, to allow them to fall in graceful
folds from the horses back.
Ordinarily the skirt is half hidden
by a white apron in front and back
but this part of the costume has been
discarded. With the colored skirt the
mounted volunteers wear black vel
vet jupe, laced in front like the "Mie-
der" of the Swiss maiden. And like
hers, it is cut decollette, exhibiting a
snowy-white shirt bosom, and has big
leg-of-mutton sleeves fastened at the
wrist. There are pretty epaulettes
embroidered in many colors, and the
sleeves, too, exhibit elaborate embroid-
cry. For regimental purposes the COM
pany or squadron number will be
placed on the shoulder straps. Around
their waists the girls usually wear a
girdle, called "josta," which is in
scribed with pious notices in their own
language. The emperor has promised

GRACEFUL TRIBUTE TO WHEELER

Boston veterans to genuine enthusi-
asm.
The sword, because of its beautiful
design and exquisite workmanship, is
attracting much attention. The blade
is made of the finest Damascus steel,
embellished with gold etching. The
scabbard is of silver, and has some
ornaments of solid gold, including a
spread eagle and draped flag. The
handle of the sword is surmounted by
an eagle and bears a wreath of oak
leaves, the latter being symbolic of
the rank of major-general. The figure
of a mounted cavalryman is on the
guard and at the end of the same is
a knights head. The reverse side of
the scabbard bears the following in
scription: Major General Joseph
Wheeler, y. S. ", from Post 113, G.

Memorial Day, 1899"
Miss Annie Wheeler, daughter of
Gen. Wheeler, will go to Manila as a
volunteer nurse under the patronage
of the most prominent women philan-
thropists of the country, and will also
have the support of womens patriotic
organizations. Individual members
and state chapters of the Daughters
of the American Revolution are pre-
pairing to gather supplies for American
soldiers in Philippine hospitals to be
distributed under Miss Wheeler's di-
rection. Miss Wheeler is making prep
arations for her voyage to Manila. Dur
ing her stay at the capital beautiful
jewel casket was presented to her in
the name of the women of Montgom-
cry, Ala, in testimony of their love and
admiration and in recognition of the
services rendered by her to Alabama
soldiers during the war with Spain.
The gift was purchased with money
contributed through committee OF
which Mrs. F. H. Gilmore was chair
man. 1t was originally intended that
the presentation should take place in
Montgomery, but this plan was aban-
doned on account of Miss Wheeler's
pressing engagements in the north.

What They Really Said.

Deeds of valor and self-sacrifice in
face of the enemy are not always ac-
companied by rhetorical fireworks.
During the Zulu war, after an engage
ment in which the British troops were
defeated by Cetewayo's black warriors,
and were compelled to fly for their
lives, an English cavalryman, whose
scraggy little pony limped from an
assesai slash, detached himself from
the retreat and galloped back upon the
charging zulus. A glance over his
shoulder had shown him a dismounted
comrade, stumbling painfully along,
trying to jam some cartridges into his
clogged revolver. When the troopers
pony trotted up the Zulus were almost
upon the two soldiers. Fortunately,
however, they had discarded their
spears, and were mishandling captured
carbines. Now, in melodrama, or in
a realistic novel, the language of these
two gallant officers, one to the other,
would have been noble, lofty and in
spring. This is what they really said:
Get out Of this, Bill, we bloomin ijlt
the black beggars will skewer We"
gasped the wounded man. "You climb
up on this 'orse or I'll punch yer 'ead
off" was the reply of the other "And
it is delightful" says a writer in Col
lier's Weekly, to be able to say that
he did climb up, and they both escaped
from the black beggars, and that the
trooper got the Victoria cross"

EXTRAORDINARY

Surgical Triumph in Tendon Grating
and Bone Setting.
Two notable surgical operations
the first successful ones of their kind
in New York hospital-were per-
formed at the Hospital for Cripples at
Forty-Second street and Lexington
avenue. BY one Virginia girl, IA
years old, who has been paralyzed for
eleven years, will regain the use Of her
limbs through tendon grating. In the
other patients thigh bone, dislocated
at birth, was taken from its original
socket and placed fully two inches to
one side in socket or acetabullum
made for the purpose. DR.. Royal Whit
man, chief of clinic at the hospital,
operated. Matte Mayhem, the para
lytic, lost the use of both feet from
infantile paralysis in her third year.
DR. Whitman first ascertained what
tendons were degenerate and then
made an incision in the thigh and en-
grated small parts of healthy tendons
where the degenerate parts had been
cut away. When the operation was
finished the feet were placed in plaster
casts. The doctors say the child will
have the full use of her limbs in two
months. The operation is of French
origin, and yet even in France sur
geons have not yet attempted to per-
form the operation on any but very
young children. The other operation
was what is called the Lorenz opera
ton, from DR.. LorenZ, Frenchman.
Rosa Denizetti, years old, OF Italian
parentage, was the patient. An incl
sion was made in her hip and the ball
and socket joint laid bare. The thigh
bone was removed from its socket and
another socket was cut in the pelvis
bone two inches from the one which
had caused the dislocation. Then the
thigh bone was placed in the new
socket, the incision was sewed up and
the hip placed in a plaster cast. In
two months the patient will be able to
walk.-New York World.

thinks that an empty stomach is the

water, wet towel applied to the tenn
