The institution of a r~eplevin suit to recov-
err possession Of a set Of the original bird
paintings by Audubon, the celebrated orni-
biologist, illustrates the complications Of
real life. The pictures were found in a pawn
shop, and their value is placed at $500.
If they are originals they must have a
fancy value. They were the result Of al
most a lifetime of assiduous work by Audu-
bon, and their publication made him famous
in Europe and America. His work entitled
1.-THE Birds of America" was published in
numbers each containing five plates, drawn
and colored by hand. The whole book con-
sisted Of four folio volumes of plates. and
it was sold by subscription at $1,000 per
copy. The entire cost of the work ex-
ceeded 800, 900, the first volume being issued
in London in 1880 and the last in 1899. The
letter-press to accompany the plates was
subsequently published in five volumes.
The plates are now exceedingly rare, most
of the few remaining copies being found
in public or college libraries, which OBJ
tanned them many years ago. Audubon
, lived several years in Louisville, and after
| wards at Hendersonville. KY, and his bird
hunting excursions often led him through
| the hills of southern Indiana. His colored
| plates of birds have never been surpassed.

on African missions at ST. Paul's Methodist
Episcopal Church. Eighty-sixth street and West

what South Carolina was In the Civil War the
South African Republic Is In the British-boer
War, for which he held there never was any
valid excuse. In part Bishop Hartzel said
'No country in the world can furnish better
proof than Africa that Gods kingdom is COM
ing. that God is marching on. That country
to-day is practically owned by England. the
great civilizer and friend Of missions. by Ger
many and by France Other nations are more

other nations are in control, and they are dwell

Governments OF those nations are In sympathy
with every missionary EFFORT and they Will give
every possible assistance 90 missionary wor kers.
And this IL their attitude. because they know
that where Christianity goes there goes civiz-

Gold Democrats Of Indiana Want Dewey on

ters 10 well-known members Of that organiza-
ton throughout the State. asking the advisa-
biity OF calling a State conference. have re-
ceived more than two hundred replies and the
conference will be held In few days Interest
has been added 10 the proposed gathering by
reason OF the fact that II may start boom for
Admiral Dewey for the Presidency by appoint
ing committee TO wait upon him and solicit his
acceptance OF nomination al the hands OF the
national gold Democratic organization
The local managers say tina, there are many
Republicans who do not want 10 vote for
Mckinley and many Democrats who do not
want TO vote for Bryan and they believe
Admiral Dewey would be satisfactory 10 both
of these elements and would poll n large vote
in the East and West They argue that the
Admiral has not been party man but il a
patriot, and while he has not given offence 10
any by reason Of his politics, he has won the
admiration of all patriotic citizens on ao,ount
of his services to his country, and that he
would draw both from Republicans and Demo-
Gratis and if the election should be thrown into
the House. would stand a chance Of winning.
The gold Democrats say that they do not
want n distinctiyely gold standard national
ticket. because they do not want TO make a
campaign on an issue that has ceased 10 exist,
but they will not vote for Bryan or for McKin-
ley and Dewey is the logical candidate both Of
dscontented Democrats and Republicans.
