Inventor of the Shirtwaist.

To Mrs. Robert Osborn, of New York, belongs the credit of being the inventor of the now popular shirt waist. A member of the fashionable set at Newport, Mrs. Osborn was an enthusiastic tennis player, and in structed man shirtmaker of New York to build her a waist after her design to allow free play to the mus cles while in active exercise. That first waist was made of pale blue percale, and Mrs. Osborn had the good fortune to originate a style which has stood the test of time During the recent financial crash her husband lost his fortune, and Mrs. Osborn has started to build a conr petence by. designing gowns. Her dramatic breakfasts and musical teas have won for themselves a place in New York's "4oo," and they are said to be among the most successful functions ever held in that city.

cese of Prague)
 girls of the Austrian nobility It was a love match par excellence. The young student was heart and soul de voted to his pretty dancee. Then robbed him of his bride just before. the wedding. Nothing that his parents. CT his fl szssls elssissal ise for saa could heal the wound. Then the young ma n. who had been reared an aJgnostic, one day passed the Prague cathedral, whence came the sweet melodies of the organ and the choir. Involun- tarily his footsteps led him into the sanctuary. The music ceased and a venerable preacher began to deliver a sermon on the text: "Come to me, all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and will give you rest" It seemed as if Heaven itself opened his soul, and then and there he became con- verted and determined to devote his life to the church. Society and the world were given up and all his ener- gies were concentrated to the task of bringing to his fellow men that peace and consolation which he him. self had found.
 Father Skebensky was to be met henceforth wherever misery and sor- row dwelt. Thousands of poor were aided through his in trum len tality. His own fortune was given away in very few years. Drunkards and roues re- formed under his instructions. The prisons, the hospitals, the abodes of crime, all felt the benefcence of his gentle ministrations. No wonder, then, that after his appointment by the vatican to the cardinalate, distinc- tion he, of all men, least expected, he received such brilliant ovation in Prague. The streets were packed with multitudes of devout admirers, many of whom he knew by name and whose secret sins he had healed. He was re- ceived at the station by the burgo- master, De Seele, and municipal dep utation and driven in the city gala coach, drawn by six horses and es- corted by a detachment of cavalry, to the archiepiscopal residence on the Headschin. Here was gathered the nobility of the land, headed by Prince Auersperg, who delivered hearty con- gratulatory address. Among those present were Prince Alfred Windisch- graetz, Count Franz Thur, Prince Carl Schwarzenberg and Count Erwein Nos tiz. The festivities in celebration of the cardinals appointment lasted tWf days.

old Peoples Homes Not Needed in Uncle Sam's Northern Possessions Venerable Men and Women
 Choked to Death.

That there are in the United States men who kill their own fathers is the report brought back from Cape Nome by Mrs. John H. McKeever from the frozen north.
 Mrs. McKeever, an ethnologist of repute, is the wife of the contractor who built up the new army post, Fort Davis, in the Klondike. To a New York World reporter Mrs. McKeever said: ''There have been many di- visions made of the natives of Alaska, but I like to think of them as three races-Eskimo, Indian and Laplander.
 '"The Eskimos are small people, dark complexioned-the name Eski- mo means 'fsh-eaters' or fesh-eat- ers.' Their food is principally fish. When they cannot secure fresh fish they subsist on dried ones and upon seal and walrus. In summer they live in huts and tents, but the winters drive them into snow houses and holes dug in the ground.
 'sThese natives are friendly with strangers. They never learn to count above five. Anything more than that number is simply a great quantity. They are very superstitious. They be- ieve in witches and wizards, but the practice of witchery is kept secret, as the government officials forbid it.
 ''The Indians, or Innuits, are larg- CT than the Eskimo, dress more like our Indians, but conform to the ex- treme cold climate. They like to have their pictures taken. They all live an indolent life and work only when necessity drives them. They will pick up decayed fish and eat it

KILLED BLACK HAWK
Some Strange Claims Made by an Old Army Scout.
Robert w. Patten Says He Saved Ere. mont from Starving to Death Life Full of Adventure,
 War and Romance.

Few careers have been more ad- venturous than that of Robert w.. Patten, pathfinder and army scout, who recently settled at Seattle, Wash, to end his days.
 On the streets of Seattle Patten has become familiar as "the man with the umbrella hat," on account of the peculiar headgear he affects. The rigors of a constant outdoor life made it necessary for him to prevent sun strokes in summer and frozen ears in winter by protecting his head with a broad-brimmed hat, provided with flaps for winter wear.
 Scout Patten says he rescued John c. Fremont, the frontier pioneer, when Fremont lost his way in the Rocky mountains. That he was in the Black Hawk war with Kit Car son and ended the chiefs existence with his own hand 70 years ago.
 His age he gives as 90. Notwith- standing this handicap, he wrote to President Mckinley when the Spanish American war became imminent and offered his services as a scout. He was then ST years old. He says he was United States chief of scouts in the civil war, and resigned at the close of the conflict in favor of Buff falo Bill.
 Patten's own story of his life is to the effect that he was born February 24, 1911, in New York state, and ran away from home when nine years old, because of friction with his step mother. With the assistance of his grandmother he made his way to where Chicago now stands.
 For some time he lived with French trader, but was later adopted by Big John, chief of the Winnebago Indians.
 Later, when he was about 16 years old, he accompanied the tribe to the northern part of Wisconsin.
 Here bloody war was waged be- tween the Winnebagos and the Chip peWas, and Patten bears a scar on his head which he claims was received from 1nnaIiasyk in one of their affrays.

Cardinal Prince Archbishop Baron Von Skebensky is the name of the youngest cardinal recently appointed by the pope. If all that is said about this young prelate-he is about 40 years old-be true, then he fully de- serves the honors bestowed on him by his holiness and the titles of nobility he bears, though the latter are his by birthright.

In 1884 he accepted thea position of second vice president and general manager of the Union Pacific. From 1887 until 1895 he was president and receiver of the Toledo, St. Louis &s Kansas City. In 1895 the Vanderbilts selected him for president of the Nickel Plate road, and two years later he was elected president of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern rail way.

to a garrison of soldiers, he was made a second lieutenant in the regular army a few years later, being de- tached as a scout.
 When he was 20 years old he was ordered to report to Kit Carson, at the place where Sioux Falls, S. D., now stands, and with him proceeded westward to the Rockies. On the way they met trader known as "Old California Joe," and the trio hunted and traded for many long years.
 They fought in the Black Hawk war, in the early thirties. Patten as stated, claims to have killed Black Hawk, and exhibits a scar on his wrist as the last wound ever inflicted by the chief.
 A decade of wandering followed Once Patten was bound to the stake with several others by the Sioux In- dians, and would have been burned to death but for the timely arrival of help. The side of his face still bears the mark of flames.
 The three men returned finally to the Rockies again, and trapped in the winter months. Once they were caught in 8 snowstorm on a hill. Pat ten remained on top and the other two proceeded down to the valley While he was gazing in an opposite direction from that taken by his com panions he saw a column moving slowly through the storm. He was unable to determine whether it con- sisted of men or buffalo, and, as he tells the story, he called Kit Carson back.
 "Kit came up the hill," he says stand showed him the column. He had pair of field glasses with him and was able to make out that it was d column of men,"

in preference to going out in boat for live ones.
 Consumption is the prevailing dis ease, perhaps because of the unclean manner of living, breathing foul air for nine months of the year and eat ing unc1ean food. Another cause of this fatal disease is perhaps that these people nearly always keep their mouths open.
 ''The Laplanders are more civilized than either of the other two peoples. They dress III a gaudy manner, and are fond of bright colors, red and blue being their favorites. They dress in woven garments and use furs only in winter. They also. are very superstitious and fear the camera more than the rifle. The Laplander is an expert with rife.
 "All the natives are fond of whisky and tobacco and would give away their last poss ession for a small DOT tion of either.
 "A peculiar custom practiced by the natives is that when person be- comes old, crippled or diseased, his n0dItSG Icld ClfO lS uOSiSudGCo Oo hiAI him. This is done publicly and with great ceremony. The condemned is either shot through the heart or a thong is placed around the neck and the executioner places stick through this and twists the stick un- til the person is choked to death.
 Everyone seems to take great pleasure in this hideous ceremony. Even the person who is to die shows no signs of fear or melancholy, but stoically approaches the place of his execution Then great feast and jubilee follow.
 ''The natives will never want for fuel, as the ground is covered with an almost inexhaustib1e supply of wood. From 10 to 20 feet below the surface this deposit may be found and also skeletons of mastodons, showing that the climate was once warmer.
 Another peculiar custom is their system of disposing of the dead. They build an open sepulcher of logs and place the remains of their friends in it. They wrap the corpse fin blanket or fur robe and place all his belongings near him. There he is left exposed to decay or to be de- voured by wild animals"
