RINEHART's INDIAN PICTURES.

In the summer of 1898 the Govern
ment Indian Bureau invited all tribes
of Indians in this country to send dele
gates to an Indian Congress, and they
gathered from far and near with their
ponies and tepees and gaudiest trap
pings in the Exposition Grounds at
Omaha. Never before had there been
and never again will there be such a
gathering. There were about five hun
dred of them, some partlyycivilized, but
the greater portion picturesque in
original savagery. Strange as it may
seem at this late day many of the In
dams declared that before coming to
Omaha they had no idea what multi
tudes of white men there were or how
hopeless it was to try to stand against
them. This was probably the last time
that so complete and spectacular
view of the North American Indian
will be possible and those who had the
privilege of witnessing it are to be
counted fortunate. At the time of the
Indian Congress a prominent pho
tographer obtained permission to take
the photographs of the most noted
chiefs present and succeeded N obtain
ing collection which never will be
equaled. Mr.. Rinehart, the photograph
er, copyrighted all these pictures and
placed in few art stores some hand
colored proofs which, Notwithstanding
their high price, sold at once, and these
Indian pictures have become the fad of
the year. The Chicago Great Western
Railway has succeeded at large expense
in obtaining from Mr. Rinehart the
privilege of reproducing the best four
of these pictures. Chiefs wolf Robe"
'Louison," Hollow Horn Bear" and
Hattie Tom" and have incorporated
them in an art calendar for 1900, which
is pronounced the most artistic produc-
ton yet attempted. The heads are
6xS inches, one on sheet, wonderfully
reproduced in all their original colors,
and when framed make most striking
and effective pictures, particularly
suited for holiday gifts. Owing to the
expense but very small edition has
been issued. They will be sent, how
ever. while the supply lasts to any per-
son sending rs cents in stamps or silver
to cover the royalty charges and the
expense of packing and mailing to F.

The Baltimore and Ohio South
Western Rail Road placed in service
several months ago five large ten
wheel compound passenger engines for
use on fast trains between Cincinnati
and st. Louis. The performance of
these engines has been eminently sat
isfactory and up to the highest expec-
tation. The same line has also in SER
vice so consolidation compound freight
engines which provide ample power
for the entire line in addition to what
was already in use. The compound
engines were an experiment but hard
service has proved that they are en-
tirely successful and show saving of
Is per cent in fuel as compared with
simple engines of the same type. Ex-
haustive tests We're made with both
the simple and compound locomotives
before the order for the entire lot was
placed with the result vastly in favor
Of the compound locomotives.

THE ONLY HARBoR ON BAKER ISLAND.

wrecked on the reef, the ship must
stand to sea, sometimes compelled to
beat about for days before an anchor
age is possible.
Baker island was discovered by
Capt. Henry Foster, Of the bark ia
maica, in 1857 1t was reported from
time to time by various other marin
ers. but was not accurately charted
until Commander Meade visited it, in
1872.
The island is a veritable death trap
of the sea, as its wreck-strewn reef
attests. Not only are shores strewn
with wreckage, but nearly a dozen
skeletons of ships still exist in the
clutches of the reef.
Such are our other possessions in the
South Sea.

Gen. Lee and III. rrnItful Hen.

1t was Gen. Lees custom to leave
his tent door open in the morning for
a sprightly hen that had gone into the
egg business promptly and thus had
saved her head. When she stepped
in, Gen. Lee would put aside his work
and walk post defferentially upon the
outside until her cackle announced the
mysteries of egg laying at an end.
She roasted and rode in his wagon,
was an eyewitness of the battles Of
Charlottesville and Gettysburg, and
was finally sacrificed upon the altar Of
hospitality at Orange Court House, in
1S64.-November Ladies' Home Jour
nal.

The orlme aealns. Freedom. l.

Not since the infamous partition
of Poland has a more outrageous
crime against human freedom been
perpetrated than is now proposed
by liberty loving England. The
Boer Republic would be essentially
and inherently an independent
power even IT the claim to suzer-
ainty which Great Britain aban-
doned in 1884 were still undis-
puted. Its people fled into the
wilderness as the Puritans fled to
New England to secure freedom.
Like them they faced the dangers
oil famine and Of hostile savages,
Like them they finally conquered
peace and security. All that they
ask now is the right 10 live.
Kruger has yielded everything ex-
cept the life Of the republic.
There is no justification for war.
No possible claim that Great
Britain can have against the Beers
can warrant the destruction oi the
tree government they have estab-
lished. And war can mean
nothing else but this. If Great
| Britain did not intend this it would
not think Of war.
The monarchies oi Europe nat.
urally view with unconcern the
obliteration OF a republic. and the
Beers have not a friend to helI
them. From this country they
have a right to look for sympathy
and moral support. They shoulc
not look in vain. The press shoulC
be outspoken in declaring that
this contemplated crime is perpe
trated Great Britain will forfeit
as she surely will--that good teel
ing which was so greatly developed
by her friendly attitude during GU
war to free Cuba.
