FRENCH'S "WASHINGTON."
One of Two Heroic American Statues
to Stand lii Public Places
in Paris.

Daniel c. French. the sculptor, is the
the artist. printed with reproductions
of number of Mr.. i'renchs works, and
other illustrations, in Century.
"One of the sculptol's latest works
is the equestrian statue of Gen. Wash
ington for Paris, which VIII be placed
in the Place dIena, a very fine site
near the Trocadero. This will be the
only public monument in Paris exc
cuted by an American artist except
the Lafayette statue by Mr.. Paul Way
land Bartlett, which is to be unveiled
in the Place du Carrousel on the Fourth
of July. 1900, under the auspices of the
French and the United States govern
ments. Mr.. French has had as his col
iaborator in this work Mr.. Edward c.
Potter. 1t was Mr.. Potter who mod
elCd the horses and two of the figures
of the Quadriga at the world fair, and
the stced for the Grant monument in
Paramount park, and the charger for
the Washington statue are also his.
Mr. French and Mr.. Potter worked to-
gether on the design and execution of
the Washington, and it is, as whole,
a joint production.
'NWashington. in Mr.. French's statue,
is represented as taking command of
the army at Cambridge, dedicating his
sword to the service of his country,
and appealing to Heaven for the JUS
ticc of the cause. With the head thrown
slightly backward, the figure holds
with the left hand and arm the military
hat and the bride reins. and, the other
arm being extended perpendicularly,
the right hand holds the sword exactly
upright. The pose is heroic and
dramatic. The spirit of the motive is
admirably expressed in the action of
the figure, and the head is noble and
commanding in aspect. The horse.
with arched neck, and showing SPLEEN
did lines of construction and action is
imposing. and holds its proper place
in the work. which is. as whole, su-
perlatively excellent in style. The
pedestal was designed by Mr.. Charles
F. Mckim. The total height from the
ground to the head of the figure is about
30 feet"

Dearth of Towels.

One drawback to lodging house life
in England, if one makes long stays, is
the curious scarcity of towels and nap
kins, which, moreover, are seldom re-
newed. This is no doubt partly owing
to the prevailing English custom of
putting out" the family wash. At a
private house where we were visiting
our hosts were much astonished to hear
that at home in America our washing
was done in the house, and our hostess
said that she felt very triumphant be-
cause she had prevailed upon her cook
to wash the dish towels Even at the
small and well-kept boarding house
where we staid in London the bed
linen was only changed once a fort
night. OF course, in regard to house,
keeping, the conditions in town were
different from those in the country,
and we heard as much complaint about
Improbable servants as we ever heard
in our own benighted land

The Telemeter.

Considerable Importance is attached
to the distance-measuring field glass
invented by Mr.. Zeiss, of Jena. 1t is
simplya an extension of the natural pow
er of the eyes to estimate the distance
of nearby objects. This power depends
upon the fact that the space between
the eyes serves like a base line in sur
veying, the lines of sight converging
upon selected object from the ends of
the base. In the telemeter the effective.
distance between the eyes is increased
by means of prisms, and double images
of the objects looked at are formed.
The distance between the images varies
with the remoteness of the objects, and
a scale shows what the real distance is.
Up to about two miles the results are
said to be fairly accurate.-Iouth's

REAL WHITE TRASH.
Such IL the Squs w-Man Who Ma
an Indian Woman for
Her Land.

There is real social problem which
has long been source of apprehen-
sion to the Indians, and which, among
the other tribes. as well as among
the Cherokees. has undoubtedly had
much to do with the pressure upon
the United States to declare terri
torial form of government This. says
Ainslee's Magazine, is the intermar-
riage of white men into the tribes for
no other purpose than to share in the
lands and funds of the nations. The
lands of the Indians are rich not only
for agricultural production, but also
in oil and coal and the greed of the
white men Tor the enterprise of the
industrial pioneer. if the milder cpl
tibet be preferred) has found it i'm
possible to abstain from exploiting
such possibilities. AS the land has
been the property of the Indians, and
as the Indian has no power to trans
fer title. the only alternative for the
eXploiters has been to marry into the
tribes and acquire community prop
erty rights. Before the tribal rolls
were finished these marriages were
far more common than they are now.
Then each man, as soon as he became
the husband of an Indian woman, be-
came a member of the tribe. and
shared equally with his wife and
every other citizen of the nation.
To prevent these marriages, Of
which there have been thousands,
some of the tribes adopted laws fix
ing the marriage license fees beyond
Il reach of the adventurers and seal
avgags who We're ready to marry
souaws TO become sharers in the lands
TIE Cherokee council fixed the mar
law was in force only one alien white
man took out a marriage license
The Chickasaws undertook to pass a
law fixing the fee at 81 GOO. where one
or the other was an alien, but the bill
failed of passage in the council. The
enrolment of the tribal members
served to check the demand for In
dian wives, and marriages of full
blood squaws to white men are not of
frequent occurrence now The Keto-
wah society eXerted its influence
against these marriages. and drove
many bride hunters out of the terri
tory. The Indians themselves real
lied that the white men who came to
marry their women were not of a
class to uplift the tribe. The squaw-
man or white husband of full-blood
woman is held in no regard either by
tie full bloods themselves or by the
better element of the Cherokees.

A ROMANTIC HISTORY
Life of Frances Slocum, the "Lost
Child of Wyoming"
Monument to Mark Her Grave In
Wabash County, Indiana
Memorial to Faith
full Woman.

A very interesting monument is soon
to be dedicated on the high knoll over
looking the valley of the Mississineva
river. in Wabash county. Indiana. The
monument will mark the burial place
of a woman of singular and romantic
history, known as Frances Slocum
among the white people and as White
Rose among the lndians-who was
stolen from Quaker parents in the
Wyoming valley of Pennsylvania in
IT'S, and brought up among the In
dams in the West. Her parents were
Jonathan and Mary Slocum of Con-
necticut, who had moved TO Wilkes
barre, Pennsylvania, when that was a
small frontier settlement. there, when
Frances was young girl, their DWELL
ing was attacked by Delaware Indians.
Two or three members of the family
were killed, and little Frances was car
ried away. first to Ohio, and later to
Indiana and Michigan. Soon after her
capture her father was killed by the
Indians, but her mother, aided by
Frances brothers and other white men,
made a persistent search for Frances,
who became known in those parts as
the "lost child of Wyoming.' She was
not found.
For, meantime, the Indians had car
ried her far away, over mountains and
through forests. They treated her
kindly, giving her blankets to sleep
upon at night in beds of leaves. At
length, too, they gave her horse to
ride and dressed her in garments OF
buckskin decorated with bright beads.
All this pleased her; she dried her tears
and became happy in her new life.
She was taught to fear and hate the
white man, and whenever she saw one
she ran away. None of the white men
who visited her tribe suspected, there
fore, that they had a white child among
them. She learned to shoot well with
the bow and arrow. When the Della
wares had war with the whites, she
was run off into the north with the
other women and children. She did
not lament this.
When she was 16 years old she was
married to a Delaware chief, Little
Turtle. He treated her cruelty, and
she left him, and afterward was mar
ried to the Usage chief Chepokenah, or
Deaf Man. He was good to her, and
she remained with him through long
life.
She remembered the wars of che In
dams against Gen. Wayne and Gen.
Harrison, and in both her sympathies
were with the Indians. After the last
4,,ar her husband and his people settled
on the Mississineva, at a,place called
Deaf Mans Village.
To this place in 1s35-tifty-seven
years after Frances had been carried
away from the Wyoming valley-there
came one night trader named George
Ewing; belated on the road, he sought
"a nights lodging. The old chief took

busted herself about the room, and as
the trader waited for his supper he
watched her. He noticed that she
looked like a white woman. Once she
raised her arms for something; her
loose sleeves fell away, revealing arms
that were suspiciously white.
The trader could speak the Indian
tongue. and as she made no response
when he addressed her in English, he
questioned her in that language. She
admitted that she was white woman
and had been stolen in her girlhood.
She remembered her name and the
names of her father and mother, as
well as that of the place from which
she had been taken.
Ewing much interested, wrote to the
post master of Wilkesbarre, asking if
there were any people of the name OF
Slocum still living in that vicinity. 1t

into the hands of Frances surviving

and they were instantly satisfied that
she was indeed their long-lost sister.
They implored her to go home with
them. but she refused.
II am DID," she said, land have lived
al my life with these people. They are

happy with him."
She even refused to go with them as
far as the neighboring town of Peru,
apparently suspecting trap. They
went away sorrowful. Not long after
ward her husband died. Her relatives
came again, once more imploring her
to go home with them to Pennsylvania.
But now she declared that she could
not leave her bones elsewhere than by
the side of her husbands. She lived
there until 1S47, when she died.
Her story is often told in Indiana,
and the monument to her memory will
be not only a reminder of a romantic
history, but the memorial of a people
who had won her love as well as her
loyalty.

ENGLAND'S MISTAKE.

NJ. Paul Leroy-Beaulieu, one of the
most eminent French economists, en-
presses himself in these terms in
speaking of the relative influences Of
Russia and England in China:
Each successive day, every rail laid
in Manchuria increases the Russian
il auence. and the sort of fascination
which the car exercises at Peking
His power henceforth is without ri

"England must be stricken with a
veritable dementia to attach to her
foot the South African chain, at an
hour so serious for her future in the
extreme east. How much more her
Asiatic interests must be important to
her than the possession of the sterile
plateaus, which smuggle ephemeral
gold mines, and where she loses at
this moment. besides thousands of
men and millions of money, a precious
opportunity which she will never re-
cover. Her people recognize this at
the same time that they delude them
selves with the vain hope of restoring
it. It is too late, and the place is
taken.
"The scandalous war which she is
prosecuting in South Africa is going

Fire Alarm That Gives Particulars.
A fire alarm recently invented is
combination of the graphophone and
telephone. In the use of the talking
alarm one of the graphophone machines
is placed on each floor of building
and connected with the telephone fire
alarm system. For each machine rec
ord is prepared. For instance the
graphophone on the second floor of
building would contain the record:
"There is a fire on the second floor
etc This record is then adjusted SC
that these words are repeated into the
telephone by the expanding Of Their

way the origin of a fire is located fmme-
