it is a case which will appeal to all. Not
case of charity, for Miss Clary abhors
that, but a clear instance of mans hu-
manity to man." Miss Clary has for years
devoted her best efforts to the upbuild-
ing of the cause of music in the great
west Her efforts and her enterprise brought
to this city the celebrated maestro Max
Maretzek. That the time was not ripe for
such a venture was not the fault of this
ll-starred impresario, but due to the con-

Is peculiarly fitting to Miss Clary, she

pain, the annoyance and the inconvenience
of this life. She was always at the beck

her troubles nobly and bravely, and with
the same heroic persistence that has char
acterized her professional work. Miss

FRANK JAMES TRIAL.
"REMINISCENCES OF CASE
WHEN TRIED FOR LIFE.
Lively Scenes In Court - Dramatic
Episode In Mansion When Bandit
Pulled His Pistols and Surrendered
Tho Governor Was Sea red A

The recent trial of Jesse James for
completely in the train robbery at
Leeds, Mo-, last fall, has recalled to
many citizens interesting reminis-
cences of the trial of his uncle,
Frank James, now a resident of Kan
sas City, and who was tried for the
killing of man in what was known as
the Blue Cut train robbery in the early
'70's.
At that time Frank James was an
outlaw with his brother, and, justly,
or unjustly, was quite as noted as
Jesse for his desperate deeds. He
had, moreover, an interesting PERSONAL
ity, being described in the newspapers
! tainments. And with all this he was a
handsome man of splendid physique,
| refined in manner and as gentle as a
woman when his passions were not
aroused.
| The James boys and their followers,
1t will be remembered. were denied, at
the close of the war, the privilege &C
corded the regular confederate sol
diers Of surrendering and returning to
their homes and usual vocations. They
were, therefore, forced to keep In Sc
clusion, or submit to arrest and trial
for deeds charged to them at q time
when the minds of those in authority
were not in the best condition to ad-
minister justice.
Though thus outlawed, Frank Jane:
early sought his friends to obtain as
surance of fair and impartial trla

of waiting, during which old scars hat

would be accorded him. He according

Maj. John N. Edwards and othe
friends to surrender to Gov. Crittendel

bright morning in 1888 Maj. Edwards

CASTS OF EsoUIMAUx.

A New York Sculptor Secures Two OF
Them.
Two little brown statues, bare-iegged
and bare-armed, alive only In the black
eyes that mutely questioned those
about, sat in the sculptor's studio at
the Museum OF Natural History the
other morning, says the New York
World. They we're Zaksriner and Art
marhoke, the Eskimo twins, ready for
the ordeal of being "cast." Caspar
Meyer, the sculptor, and his assistant,
first mixed the plaster in great bowl.
Like ice cream" whispered the In
terested Zaksriner, spreading her
hands and arms on the molding-board.
Over them streamed the thick mixture,
smoothed and patted into place by the
trowel. While the plaster hardened not
a muscle moved. A touch told the
sculptor that the moment had come.
Then the knife was applied to the
edges. and half the cast was removed,
revealing the straight little arm and
curious small hand to its owner once
again. She gave sigh of relief and
smiled up at Miner Bruce, her adopted
father. I'm coming out again." she
said triumphantly. A cast of her legs
was then taken. Artmarhoke, watch
ing the operation, exchanged gleeful
criticisms with her sister in their ma
tive tongue. On an excursion round
the studio as rest they ran upon the
bust of Meul, the last of the Peary Es-
kimo importations, and now a men,
Der of the family of Superintendent
Wallace Of the museum. "Ah!" cried
Artmarhoke, putting a caressing hand
upon the cheek, look, it is my broth
er!" The casting Of the head was a
more delicate task. The hair was
bound back tightly with a cloth to
escape the plaster. The face was then
carefully rubbed with olive oil and the
paste applied less generously than to
the arms and legs. Even the ears were
covered. The entire cast came of
fiawless. Zaksriner's establishment al
the complete reproduction Of hel
lineaments was not the least pleas
ing part of the picture. She gazed in
to the cast and softly repeated, "My
eyes. my nose-all mine!" The twin!
are regarded as splendid specimens
and are being made the subject o
much artistic as we'll as scientific
study.

DIFFICULT TASK IMPOSED

Rev. Frank P. Parkin, upon whom
will fall the burden of the correspon-

100000 which the Methodists are to
secure during the next three years, is
pastor of the First Methodist church In
Germantown, Pa. He has accepted the
position of corresponding secretary OF
the movement, subject to the confirma-
ton Of the Philadelphia conference.
This twentieth century commission"
was appointed by the bishops at the
meeting at Providence, r. l., In No
vember, and consists of six bishops and
about twenty representative ministers
and laymen. The battle cry, 1.-TWO
million souls for Christ and $4,000, 900
for the advancement of His kingdom
has been sounded, and throughout the
next three years, 1899, 1900 and 1901,
the great work is to go on. The vast
sum is to be collected In addition to
the regular benevolences Of the church.
One-half, or $1o,O00,00o. is to be de-
voted to the universities, theological
seminaries, colleges and other schools,
and the other half for hospitals, or

charitable institutions and to the pay
ment Of church debts. Bishop Andrews

A Scrapbook Of Fashion.

A bright woman has been making for
many years collection that is far
from completed, that is absolutely
unique and that has great intrinsic
value, says the Philadelphia Times. In
the early days of the late war she be-
gan a scrapbook Of nothing but fashion
plates. This has been added to from
time to time until the one volume has
grown to several. 1t is a wonderfully
interesting sight, the passing in review
OF all the absurd fancies that have
,fourished in these thirty odd years.
There the Grecian bend, the chignon,
the waterfall, the pullback, the crino-
line, the tiny bonnets and the pokes
the large bustIes and the large sleeves
Only extremes of style and oddities are
used or the collection would swell be-
yond all proportion. As it is, it is tbs
source of much mirth whenever she
brings it out as company trap"

Church Doctrince.

been devoting a great deal of time
lately to instructing his Juvenile par

WASHINGTON Post. The sacraments OF
the church formed the subject Of a
recent discourse before one class. The
good father explained their number
and their meaning, and the inward
state Of grace of which they are the
outward and visible signs.
And now" said he, after he had
gone over it all very thoroughly, what

sacrament of baptism?"
Then he waited, expecting somebody
to give the answer about the pouring
of the water on the head of the person
to be baptized. Nobody spoke. The
priest repeated his question.

sign of the sacrament OF baptism?" h
asked.
