The originator OF this plan is Mrs. Aaron
Moreley Wilcox. Mrs. Wilcox has been
permanently connected with the kinder
garten school movement in this country.
and is a lady OF broad ideas and large
culture She has interested herself in the
movement known as the Celtic Revival
in its relation TO church history, and her
plan for museum devoted to ancient Gel
tic art, together with a library of the al
most unknown national literature. of Ire
land, is meeting with the enthusiastic APP
probation and support of Celtic scholars
throughout the country. The object Of the
museum will be to promote in the United
States the results OF the movement which
has been styled in Europe by some savants
The Celtic Revival" and by others The
Gaelic Renaissance" which, originating in
Europe during the latter part of this CEN
fury, has already produced marvellous de-
velopments.
The Celtic language is now studied in
the various universities on the Continent
of Europe, as well as in some OF those in
Ireland and England, but the Catholic Uni
versity, at Washington, is the only insti-
tuition of learning in the United States
which has an endowed chair and able pro-
fessors in this branch OF research. Hence
it is that the proposed movement, which
is thoroughly non-sectarian, seeks TO es-
tablish itself in connection with the uni
versity, which already possesses several
reproductions of ancient Irish manuscripts.
The only collection OF Celtic antiquities
OF any note in the country is in the posses
sion of the Smithsonian Institution. This.
however, relates only to the stone age,
and comprises hatchets, arrow heads,
hammers. stone rings, etc. These have all
been presented by private individuals. the
Smithsonian Institution never having Itself
conducted any special investigations in
Irish antiquities.
The plan formulated by Mrs. Wilcox for
the awakening of popular interest in the
subject of Celtic library and museum rs by
the establishment of an organization called
the Celtic Memorial Society, of which all
persons desiring TO promote the study OF
the art and literature of ancient Ireland
NAV become members. Many Irish soeie-
ties in this city and throughout the entire
country have signified their intention OF
Joining the newly-formed organization.

THE future plans OF the society" said
Mrs. Wilcox to a Times reporter, "incluG,
the sending of person 10 Europe whose
learning and discrimination will fiji him
for selecting the most valuable and char
acieristic manuscripts and objects of art,
and 10 have these photographed or repro
dnced for the museum. This person would
also be appointed to act as foreign secTe-
tary of the Celtic Memorial Society and
have not the slightest doubt from assur-
ances ] have received, that the interest in
the British Isles and on the Continent of
E.rope where the Celtic movement has
been steadily growing for the last decade,
would speedily make the society thorough
ly cosmopolitan in its scope. II is, of
course in ireland, England. and the con-
tirental countries of Europe that the
original matter is to be found, but the OBJ
ject Of the society viii be to arrange and
classify the whole as ii exists in the vari-
GUS individual collections. and thus OBJ
tain through reproductions for the muse
UNI. what will be the first complete object

Celtic art and literature"
Mrs. W:l;ux desires the establishment OF
the Catholic University. not only because
institution, but because the central posi-
ton OF the university would render the
proposed advantages easily available TO
scholars throughout the country.
Dr. Richard Henebray, professor OF
Gaelic at the Catholic University. says:

A ROMANCE OF SLAVERY.

Widows Rights.
CFrom the Philadelphia Times.

tfIou lut lHAAdHtiNIiid Ahhto-(
When the cause of Jane Redmond VS..
Frances Redmond and her children shall
come up for adjudication in the civil
courts of ST. Louis there will be unfolded
a queer story. 1t is rich in recollection Of
slavery days in the South and the essen
tial elements of romance.
Jane Redmond is a negress. one OF
those quaint Southern mammies TO PIC
ture whom has been the vain and tantaliz-
ing effort OF playwright and novelist alike.
Frances Redmond is likewise a negress,
but of the modern kind, which is not In
vested with that charm which slavery and
its customs threw about the black chat
tells OF that time. The one is sixty years
old the other ten years her junior.
Jane Redmond asserts that she is the
widow OF John Henry Redmond Frances
Redmond says she is John Henry Red
mond's widow and produces as proof a
marriage certificate and four children,
the youngest of them nearly grown. Jane
Redmond produces like proof. save that
she has only two children.
There is no record of divorce, and the
bone of contention is property fronting
fsS feet on Macklind Avenue and 800 feet
on Northrop Avenue, in the western part
of the city. 1t is worth perhaps $4,000.
Frances Redmond is possessed of it by
virtue of a will. written with lead pencil,
by John Henry Redmond.
John Henry Redmond was slave. His
master was Col A. II. Miller, one of the
wealthiest planters in Rankin county.
N ISIS. so was Jane, his wife. one of Colonel
Miller's chattels. and they were married
by a minister OF the Gospel, after having
sued for and obtained Colonel Miller's
consent.
Toward the close of the war Colonel Mil

money to a friend for safe keeping Red
mond delivered the money but insfead of
returning he made his way to the Federal
lines. finally reaching st. Louis, where he
settled.
Late in the sixties he wooed and won
Frances. the woman who now calls herself
Frances Redmond. Several years ago
Hezekiah Redmond came to ST Louis from
Mississippi. He was a son OF Jane Red-
mond. and he had often heard his mother
tell him that his father was John Henry

made of a fine brown fur, cut in the we'll
known military shape of the time. This
coats and cloaks for the men were not of
so fine a quality. but. were, nevertheless,
of a good. substantial make, and were, fur
thermore. supplied with waterproof shoul-
der covering.
Both officers and men alike wore very
strong oyeralls of cowhide. and 1t IS on
record that one city firm alone secured
contract to supply $4,000 suits Of this ma

ficers. noted furrier made no fewer than
80 900 pairs of large fur gloves to complete
a single order.
Those regiments which did not wear
bearskins as did the Guards. were sup
piled with sealskin headdress. an exact
COPY of that worn by Arctic explorers.
This cap was pronounced TO be both
warm and easy to wear. and was boon to
many poor fellows who otherwise must
have suffered terribly from frostbite.
Whatever NAV have been the mistakes
of that war, there was no stingineEs on
the soldiers with warm clothing. as is evil
denced by the fact that one consignment
of stores included 100000 pairs of gloves,
200. 000 pairs of lambs wool stockings,
some 50. 600 flannel gowns for the hospitals.
and 60 900 greatcoats for wear over the
others.

ALIEN INDIANS IN MONTANA.
Redskins Who Crossed the Border
After the RieI Rebellion.
(From Forest and Stream. }

(trOm Forest and Strcam.)
At the collapse of the so-called Riel
rebellion, a large number of half-breeds
who had presumably been concerned in it,
fed across the border from the North
west territories and settled in Montana
At the same time a number OF Cree In
dams made similar migration. All these
people have since resided in Montana
although on one or two occasions United
States troops, at the request of the Indian
Bureau have gathered up the Indians
taken them TO the boundary line, and
thrust them across into Canada. But as
soon as the troops moved away the In
dams returned to the places along the
Missouri and Milk Rivers, where they
have been accustomed to live.
Many of the Cree half-breeds settled in
the Judith Basin. where some of them
have done well as farmers and stock
raisers. Others, however, spend their
whole time hunting and trapping, de-
stroying game. fur. and fish at all sea-
sons, without regard TO the law of the
land, of which they are presumably igno-
rant. II will be remembered that two or
three years since these half-breeds got in
among a little bunch of buffalo. which
still ranged in the neighborhood of the
Dry Fork of the Missouri and killed
about sixteen OF them. which was per-
haps more than half of the herd. We be-
lieye that no steps were taken at the time
TO punish them for this. though there was
talk of sending out troops TO capture
them.
During last autumn these half breeds
have been hunting as usual. and as usual
in violation OF the law, and since their
methods are so well aknown IL would GER
tainly seem worth the while OF the au-
thorities of Montana to- take steps to put
a ahn fpyt .i.-
lions would do this It must be under
stood that these half-breeds have no hunt
ing rights in Montana or anywhere else
beyond those possessed by the ordinary
white citizens of the State. Their case
is not like that of certain tribes of Ctes
in Colorado, or certain Bannocks and
Snakes in Idaho and Wyoming, to which
the United States long ago guaranteed for
ever the right to hunt on the unoccupied
trary. these half-breeds are immigrants.
real outlanders. and should be held TO a
strict accountability 10 the law.
This law provides that every person who
wiIfulIv hunts. chases. or runs with dogs
anv buffalo, moose, elk, deer, antelope,
Rocky Mountain goat or mountain sheep,
shall be punishable. Now, all through the
autumn of 1899 the Canadian half breeds
have been hunting in the Missouri River
Valley below the mourn vi hIoW Green,
running white tailed deer with dogs and

: Frances Rockefeller Is Killed
on a Railway Train.
He WILL BE GUILL0TINEO
Unless Proven Insane--FirSt
American to So Suffer.
HE WILL BE GUILLOTINEO

New York, Jan. 1S-A dispatch to the
World from Paris says: Paul Jaujou, the
famous brewer, was killed in a irst-class
railway carriage by William Martins, an
American boy scarcely 20 years old. In
the compartment occupied by Martins
were a young Englishman and NJ. and
Nine Jaujou. The express had just
passed Tonnerre, when Martins became
violent and accused the Englishman Of
wanting to chlorophorm and rob him. He
soon worked himself into frenzy and
drew revolver. NJ. Jaujou tried TO dis
arm Martins and the latter shot him
through the brain NJ Joujau fell back
dead in the arms of his wife. The alarm
bel brought the trainmen, but Martins
held them at bay for a time with his
pistol. Finally. however, the engineer
sprang upon him and secured the weapon.
Martins was then bound hand and foot
and placed in a baggage ,car. The muir
derer and the body Of his victim were
taken in charge by the police. The trag-
ely causes intense feeling all over France
as NJ Jaujou, who owns the largest
French brewery at Mines, was as promi-
nent here as Rockefeller is in America.
He was very wealthy and a great philan-
thTOpist Martins is believed to be in
sane. He seems to have lots of money.

case. First Secretary Vignaux says:
