TRIBUTE TO PHILANTHROpIST
Park to Memory of Baron and Baroness De Hirsch,

Plans were made public the other day for monument in Central park as memorial of Baron and Baroness De Hirsch, who together have given S100,OO0,00 to the poor of the world much of it to the poor of New York city. Everything has been arranged with the park commissioners, and dener Rose day or two ago went over the plans with commission from the De Hirsch association, and work will be begun at once.
 The site will be near the Seventy second street entrance on the Fifth avenue side of the park. Sculptor Bis sell, who designed the Stuyvesant statue in Bowling Green and the stat ue of President Arthur in Madison square, furnished the design accepted.
 A female figure, heroic in size, and cast in bronze, is represented as hold ing tablet in her arms, on which ap pear the features of Baron De Hirsch and his wife in bas renef. In front of the woman's figure, representing Philanthropy, is one of child, rep resenting Posterity, placing a bunch of palms before the larger figure.
 A pedestal of highly-polished pink granite will support the figures. The memorials cost $500 which will be raised wholly by voluntary subscrip- tions. Much of it has already been paid in.

MAILS MONEY IN NOVEL WAY.
P. Pierce Wraps . Bin Around . Stamped Card and It Goes
 Through.

P. Pierce of 6407 Rhodes avenue, Chi cago, has unbounded confidence in the safety of Uncle Sans postal service. To prove it he wrapped a dollar bill around card, affixed two-cent stamp and bit of white paper bearing the address, and started it on its way to J. A. Wayland, a newspaper publisher of Girard, Kan. When the novel packet went through the Hyde Park postal station it attracted the attention of Su- perintendent Crumpacker, who delayed it's transmission until he could get from Postmaster Gordon a ruling on the question of sending money through the mails in that manner.
 A search of the postal regulations and a conference of the powers at the post office brought forth the decision that it was legal, though irregular and somewhat unsafe way to send money by mail, and the authorities allowed it to go on its way.

HOUSE Is EXPANDING
Apportionment Bill Just Passed
 Gives Membership of 386.
Act Will Not Go Into Effect Until After the Third Day of March, 19O3- Table Showing New Ap-
 pOrtiOnment.

Under the terms of the apportion- ment bill, just passed by the house, the membership of 3S6 goes into eff feet after the third day of March, 1903. The congress elected last No yember goes into office theoretically on March next, and expires by linn itation with the conclusion of the third day of March, 1903. That, which is the Fifty-seventh congress, of course, has membership of 357. The congress to be chosen under the new apportionment of 3S6 will be elected in November, 1902. and although the term of office will begin on March 4, 1903. the meeting will be held the first Monday in December following, It is believed the senate will undoubt. edly pass the apportionment bill pro viding for 3S6 members of the house inasmuch as that number prevents any loss of representation by any sin. gle state, and thus there is scarcely any chance for combination against it.
 The system of apportionment is un' doubtedly fair, whatever may be thought of the wisdom of increasing the membership of the house. The number of 3S6 is arrived at by taking the ratio of one representative to 194,1S2. This gives 360 representatives on an even division. but it leaves fouI states with no representative at al and % having remainders which are more than one-half of the ratio.
 These are added so as to make the total membership 3s6. This is not the system recommended by the cen sus office and used by Mir. Hopkins It is what is known as the compound ratio. which recognizes all majority fractions and which entirely elim mates all the curious paradoxes seer in the census office method.
 The official membership of the house by states under the new appor. tionment is as follows:

TO MARRY PUEBLO INDIAN.
Denver Woman Has Been WoOed and Won by an Agency Red
 Man.

Miss Cora Arnold, 27 years old, a pretty white woman who lives with her parents, MT. and Mrs. George Wilder, at No. 1415 Melton street, Dem yer, Col, is engaged to Albino Chavala. full-blOoded Pueblo Indian, 31 years old, who lives on the Santa Clara agency in New Mexico. The wedding, according to the present plans, will take place in Denver.
 The Indian, who is a magnificent specimen, came to Denver early in the fall with a band of his tribesmen to perform at the city park. He was a friend of Charles Christy, a former government scout. and after his fel- lows had gone home went to Christy's house to visit. There he met Miss Arnold. He was an ardent wooer, and soon had captured the woman's heart. Their engagement became known when the Indian left for his agency to prepare home for his bride.

WEDS AND LOSES PRIZE.
University of Chicago student Pre- fers . Wife to the Possession
 of schOla rship.

President Harper, of the University of Chicago, and the heads of the grad uate divinity school believe that mar ried life interferes with intellectua. pursuits. and prefer to have the alvin ity students woo the cloistered muse rather than maidens, so when Johr William Bailey, the possessor of scholarship amounting to $125 year was married to Miss Celestina Wood, of Franklin. Ind, during the holidays the faculty revived an old rule anc withdrew Bailey's scholarship. The rule provides that any student in the divinity school having scholarship shall forfeit it if he marries at any time during his course. It was schol arship or bride with Bailey, and ht chose the latter. "I'm not bit sorry for it, either" he declared. "The gain more than exceeds the loss"
 Both bride and groom are graduates of Franklin college. Indiana, and it was there that Bailey began his courtship, which resulted in what he calls be. ginning the century right" The wed. ding took place at Franklin and the couple are living at G124 Ingleside av.
