THOMAS RICHARD RoDDY.

OF the tribe. So long as Black Hawk
remained alive they could not do this,
but when death claimed the old war
rior they at once chose Roddy to sue
ceed him. For several months past
Roddy has been living in Chicago.
where he has been prosecuting certain
Indian claims His residence is some
where in Wisconsin. Long before
reaching manhood Roddy embarked in
traffic with the Indians. His father be-
fore him had been an Indian trader
and he grew up amid the perils of the
frontier. fearing nothing in human
guise and wholly Indifferent to dan
ger. Indeed. he frequently spent weeks
and months in the Indian settlements,
acquiring skill in the exercises of the
bow and forming many warm personal
attachments
When he grew older Roddy, or Chief
White Buffalo. as he is to be known in
the future, found further field for
his abilities in providing Indian bands
for spectacular purposes. He was one
of the first men to contract for sup
ply OF braves to take part in Buffalo
positions and carnivals, and is even
planning to take few hundred to the
Paris exposition next year. He want
ed to bring some to Chicago for the
fall festival. but his proposal was not
favorably received. If the Winnebago
Indians had any of the old spirit, the
new chief might find his hands full
of trouble before long. One of the
braves, Green Cloud, who is now in
seclusion in Nebraska, claims to hold
the real right of succession to the
chieftainship. He is bad Indian Mrs.
Roddy says he drinks whisky Tribal
war might possibly result, but Roddy
is now on his way to Nebraska, where
he hopes to convert Green Cloud to his
support Green Cloud is credited with
having killed old Black Hawks only
son three years ago. The United
States government pays s2S.00O year
to the support of the Winnebago In
dians. Roddy has been their business
ager. some time, and as chief will
havt greater authority. When he
is invested with his rank at a medi-
cine pow-wow before long he will be-
come the possessor OF the many valu-
able wampum belts which the Winnie
bagos won and which pass from chief
to chief. His private collection of wam-
pun belts now is said by his wife to
be bigger and more valuable than any
in the United States.

BRYAN IS SICK.
Severe Attack, Affecting Throat and
Lungs.

Lungs.
Chicago, Oct. "a special to the
Chronicle from Webster, Iowa, says:
William Jennings Bryan is Il danger
ously sick man tonight Friends who
have spent Sunday with him at the
farm of Fred +. White. Democratic
candidate for governor of Iowa, three
miles from Webster, are afraid that
Mr.. Bryan may have to temporarily
abandon his campaign work. not only
in Iowa, but in Kentucky and Ohio.
When Mr.. Bryan awoke this morning
he complained about his throat and
lungs, but said that he had suffered
from n similar ailment once before
and that it had yielded to treatment.
Great crowds of farmers from all
over Keokuk county called at the
White farm to see Mr.. Bryan during
the morning and afternoon. and al
though he tried hard to remain out
doors, his physical weakness mastered
his courage and he had to retire several
times to his room. A local physician
who was called in tonight to treat the
invalid recommended a long term of
absolute rest and quiet.
| 1t is understood tonight that steps
will be taken by Interested friends to
cancel Mr.. Bryan's engagements,
which include two or three speeches
daily and a tour covering the width
of Iowa ending at Sioux City Satur-
day.

ktuL Dle8 Ab0Wn.
New York, Oct. 7.-Bor,as again to-
day played battledore and shuttlecock
with the great single stickers. and the
third attempt to sail the race of the
Columbia Shamrock series for the in
ternatlonal trophy ended in failure.
The race was declared off fifteen min
utes before the time limit expired. with
the yachts still five miles from the fin-
ish. But the vast throngs who went
down to the sea to witness the battle
royal were in Q measure compensated
by seeing magnificent light weather
duel. In the end the disappointment
of the patriots was sharpened perhaps
by the fact that when the race was
abandoned the Columbia was in the
lead and improving her position, and
had it been finished to-day the Ameri-
can champion might have had one race
to her credit.
The Shamrock is n wonder In light
weather. That is settled beyond a
doubt by the three days of drifting.
She has surprised her own people and
has given the other people a great
shock. She handles speedily and has
men on board who know how to do
the handling.
The feeling of the American yachts
men that the challenger was entering
the races unprcpared and untried has
disappeared. They have seen her fit
for the struggle, and they know that
she is ready to do her best.

French Studying German.

1t is said that the study of German
is increasing in France, while the study
OF English is on the decline. In the
Ecole des Sciences Politiques. in Paris,
where diplomats are trained. many
more study German than English.
Many young Frenchmen are now being
sent to Germany and Austria instead
OF England to get acquainted with the
language of the victors of 1870. In a
Paris lycee 143 students study German
to "a English. In another school the
proportion of German to English is
800 to 1888. In the Marseilles gymna-
sum two-thirds study German, one
third English. 1t is believed that this
French interest in German will have a
powerful influence in the commerce
and politics of the world in the next
generation.

FIGHT ON A STEAMER.
Passengers Have "a Row on Board an Ex-
cursion BOat

cursion Boat.
? New York. Oct. 9.-The Philadelphia
excursion steamboat Georgiana, which
went out TO the cup race Saturday re-
turned to this city with the American
flag hosited with the Union down.
AS she passed the Battery the cap
tain sung out to The police tug that n
mutiny had occurred on board and
| that four or five persons had been
killed and to come immediately. The
police captain at once called a num-
bcr of policemen together and started
off with the tug after the Georgiana
which was making for Pier 6, North
river.
Chief of Police Devery, as soon as he
learned of the trouble on the Georgi,
ana, sent several platoons of police to
the North river pier. where she doclled.
AS soon as the captain of the Georgi-
ana was assured of police protection
the steamboat made up to Pier 4
North river, and began to make fast
there.
The Georgiana dawdled along to n
point off Concy Island and then slowed
up and it was quite evident to all the
passengers that they were on a
gambling boat instead of on pleasure
steamer, whose objective point was the
yacht race.
The passengers then waited on the
captain and demanded that the vessel
should proceed TO the race course or
that their money be returned. This
appeal proved unavailng and n riot
eDsued. During the melee several were
badly beaten.

DEWEY'S ONLY SON.

Admiral Dewey's only son bears the
name of George Goodwin Dewey. He
is in the employ of large dry goods
commission house of New York city
and is said to be quite successful as a
business man. When in Cincinnati
dry goods house the other day he was
Hobsonized by an unblushing female
clerk. At the time his father won the
victory at Manila bay the young man
was in New York city. His associates
proposed to fete him and make much
ado because he was the son OF his
father. Then the Dewey spirit came
to the front, for young George rose
up and said that any honors of that
sort should go to his father and not
to him. He declared that he was only
a quiet American citizen; that his
father had done no more than his

duty. and that If celebrations were to
be in order they should be for the vic
tory itself and not for the members OF
the Dewey family. Mr.. Dewey has de-
clined to be interviewed or made ia
nous by the newspapers. He has never
discussed his father except to say that
he did at Manila what the family
knew he would do. The son graduated
from Princeton in 1896. and immedi-
ately engaged in mercantile business.
He did not care for the sea. which was
pleasing to his father.

A MILLIONAIRE
Whose Entire Wealth Was Invested In
the Paper on His Walls

whose Entire wealth WAS Invested In
the Paper His Walls
While in johannesburg / saw
sample OF what was probably the most
valuable wallpaper ever used in a
house, says traveller recently re-
turned from South Africa. 1T was a
share certificate in one OF the richest
gold mines of the Eand. In the early
days an Englishman who worked in
one OF the first mines opened took
his pay partly In cash, but chiefly In
scrip of shares OF the company. For
many years the mine yielded little.
and the company was unable to pay
dividends. After time the English
man got discouraged with working the
pick for these nicely engraved but un-
marketable pieces Of paper, and left
the place for another part OF the coun-
try, where he continued to work hard
for living. barely making both ends
meet. The miners wife used the
share certificates. with some odds and
ends OF prints from papers sent to
them. in papering the walls OF their
cabin. and they remained there as a
grim reminder OF the hollowness of
mans expectations. Things got
worse, and the miner and his wife
were near starvation. when one day
a broker newly arrived from England
hunted up the cabin and made an
offer for the wallpaper. The price he
mentioned was so large as to excite
the miners curiosity. and on investi-
cation he found that he was a large
shareholder in one OF the most profit
able gold mines in the world. He kept
his shares, and today he is one of the
biggest mining kings. But even he
probably has had no wallpaper since
that time that represented as much
wealth as did the covering of the walls
of his little cabin"
