QUEER COMBINATION
Single Taxers Start Boom for (
 B1oated Capitalist
Tom l.. Johnson, CIeveIand's New Mayor, a Possible President of the United States-Advocates
 SOciaIistic Ideas.

A presidential boom for Tom John son, mayor of Cleveland, has been launched in Indianapolis, Ind. .s The Single Tax club of that city has indorsed him for the highest place on the democratic ticket. Johnson has been elected mayor of and Cleveland is a republican strong hold. He has his eye on the gov ernor's chair at Columbus. If he sue. ceeds in carrying a republican state and can count on the support of In- diana for president, far-seeing poli- ticians say he is more than presi- dential possibility.
 Tom Johnson has long been a pie turesque character. As street rail- way magnate, congressman. single taxer, socialist, politician, philoso- pher and good fellow he has been one of the nations unique geniuses for many years
 He was elected on platform with tendency toward socialism, and by his election becomes the most prom inent exponent of reform and social istic ideas in the country
 Johnson is robber baron and does not deny it. He is rich beyond the | dreams of avarice, and he has made his money out of special privileges granted by the people. Some $s,ooO,- 900 he is reputed to have made by charging high street car fares.
 But he never concealed the fact that he was making millions out of the grants of the people. He frankly admitted it and denounced as wrong the system under which he was be- coming rich. He has now disposed of all his street car holdings and invest ed his fortune in bonds. He will have nothing to do the rest of his life but clip coupons, but he has decided to devote his energies and ability to helping the people.

BLACK EYE ARTISTS.
They Do a Thriving Business in
 Our Large Cities.
Oiscolored Optics Repaired While the Customer Waits Strange Profession That Calls for Much
 Skill and Discretion.

"The men who fail in literature and art become critics" said the late Lord Beaconsfeld in one of his splentic moods There is truth in the saying, especially where literary men are concerned; but men who fail in art can sometime find a more lucrative profession than that of criticising the works of their former brethren of the brush, says a Philadelphia paper.
 There are at least two men in Phila- delphia-both of whom at one time hoped to gain recognition as artists who earn very fair living by restor- ing black eyes and bruised faces to their natural color. Both men have studios and do more or less cheap pot boiling for the picture dealers, but their principal source of income is de rived from professional boxers and from men who have been beaten in some chance barroom scrap.
 Their clients or patients are sorry ] looking lot when they assemble in the early morning to have their bruised and battered faces restored to some thing like a natural appearance. The fast young man who has heard the chimes of midnight is there awaiting his turn along with tough from waterside ward.
 An ordinary black eye, such as the fast young man carries away with him from his latest barroom scrap, is easily managed, but the bruised and battered face of an earnest "profes- sionar' after a well-contested set-to requires very delicate manipulation, The artist who restores black eyes to their natural color sets his palette very much as portrait painter would do when expecting a sitter. But there is a wide difference between the hu- man skin and prepared canvas, and strong drying oil is usually mixed | with the colors intended to restore a
 black eye or recover a bruised cheek.

similar wagons if Webster is success full in defying the crusaders.
 In the rear end of the boiler-iron joint there is a huge door, with fas- tenings inside. It cannot be opened from the outside except with a key. Inside there are seats for dozen persons, with cushions on them, and across the center there is a small bar. Behind the bar there is room for two or three kegs of beer and good sup. ply of whisky.
 x Webster will have the sag on painted to resemble weatherboard covering and there will be a surprise in store ! for the first crusader to strike it with a hatchet. It is not his intention to entertain many of his customers in side the boiler-iron joint, but to serve the most of them through the port holes on the sides and at the ends.
 In the front end of the boiler-iron room and behind the bar there is a trap door in the floor, which Webster says will be used to open into an under ground passage when he locates the joint in Florence. He owns a lot there on which he intends to locate the joint. The underground passage has already been constructed and leads to a stable on his premises.

nearly dry they are lightly powdered with dry color. This deadens the gloss of the drying oil and gives natural, f1esh-ike appearance to the restored face. Indeed, it would be impossible for anyone who was not in the secret to detect the imposture, so cleverly is the work done.
 One dollar is the fee charged for re- storing black eye, and, as the work rarely occupies more than half an hour, the payment certainly compares very favorably with that received by a suc- cessful artist whose pictures find 8 place on the walls of the Academy or at the Art clubs exhibitions.
 In the case of badly battered face several sittings may be required before the patient is again able to face his friends and society at large, and then the artist in black eyes reaps a golden harvest. A very popular "Kid," who was knocked out at sparring exhibi- tion in New York, went to Philadel- phia for the express purpose of hay ing his face restored to something like a natural appearance, which was a compliment to the art and artists of the Quaker city that seems to have passed unnoticed.
 For the complete restoration of this gentleman slugger the fortunate ar tist received the unusual fee of $25. But the Kid" was desperately in love with pretty chorus girl at the time and thought nothing of the expense.
 'It's a curious trade, sure enough" said the most successful of the two Philadelphia restorers of black eyes, ''but I have learned to like the work, irrespective of the money return it makes me. It enables one to study hu- man nature, for one thing, and it is full of curious surprises for another.

People have called him inconsistent for denouncing now the things which were responsible for the fortune he has made. But the people of Cleve- land have not deemed his incon- sistency of importance. They say that he is no hypocrite and never was, but is a man who can be depend ed upon to do as he promises.
 Johnson's ancestors were among the pioneers of Kentucky He is the son of the late Col. Albert w. John son, who was wealthy planter in Arkansas before the war. His father threw his fortunes on the side of the south when the war came and sent his wife and three sons to Milleville, Ga.
 Tom was but ten years old, but at once began to help his mother. He became a newsboy and, as the people were hungry for news, he made money. When the war closed and his father did not have enough money to take his family back to his planta- tion in Arkansas, Tom came to his rescue with his savings of $ss.
 The boy left home at the age of IA, as there was nothing on the planta- tion to attract him. He became an office boy in an iron foundry at Louisville at two dollars week. Soon he was getting seven dollars. Then he got into the street railway business. At IT he was superintend- ent of street railway in Louisville.
 Three years later he, with his uncle and man named Shepherd, bought the Indianapolis street railway. They paid $so,ooo for it, and they sold it for more than $1,OO0,O0O. Johnson took his share of the money and went to Cleveland in search of a new street car investment.
 He bought a mule line on the West side of the city which never made a cent. He took advantage of for gotten law which permitted him to use the tracks of another company. He introduced improvements, organ ized stock company and became a millionaire. He went to congress and

 A project is now on foot, backed by a number of prominent engineers of Mexico, for the erection in wood and plaster of an exact replica of this arch of independence, either at the entrance of the Paseo or at the glorieta next to that of Circumference. Though provisional, this arch will by no means be insubstantial. It will be solid enough to permit the installa- tion os an elevator, to enable those who desire to ascend it's turrets and contemplate the view from those eminences.

ing in the shadow of the gallows upon which he was to be hanged for murdering white man, he ironical- ly asked the hangman for list of the palcfaces who had been convict ed and hanged for the killing of the Modocs. It was some satisfaction, doubtless, to this Modoc warrior to hear that not long before Ben Wright had been lured from his cab in and killed at the doorstep by the son of one of the victims of his treachery. ..
 Now, says the Chicago Record Herald, there are only 50 of the Mo docs left. The wonder grows in view of their persecution that they muster even a half hundred strong. Once the government asked the Mo- docs to leave their ancestral heme and take residence on the Klamath reservation. Through the influence of Superintendent A. B. Meacham they were induced to move. No sooner were the Modocs settled on the new land than the Klamath In- dians began to molest them. They were moved to another part of the reservation. There the Klamaths at- tackled again and the local agent re- fused to issue food. The Modocs were starving, and without notice, between suns, they took up the march back to the fertile Lost river country. There Meacham sought them out again. He was authorized, he thought, as a last resort, to give them permission to stay where they were. The Indians accepted this permission gladly and promised peace with undoubted sincerity. Within month the government or dered their forcible removal Sol- diers surprised them and killed five of the band. The Modocs retaliated later and then took to the lava beds. where the First cavalry was sent to dislodge them. Through eastern efforts peace commission was ap- pointed. Its members were Gen. Canby, A. B. Meacham and a clergy man named Thomas. These men were lured to conference with Jack and several of his warriors. The white men were killed. For months the Indians fought the whites from the stronghold of the lava beds. Finally they were overcome, and Capt. Jack, Schonchin and Black Jim were hanged. As lesson ts the

It is a pitiful tale of a vanishing race that comes from the pen of the artist Burbank, who had been paying a visit to the remnant of the Modoc tribe in the Indian territory. There are left only 50 of this once numer- ous and warlike people. Princess Mary, a sister of the Modoc chief, Capt. Jack, who was hanged 30 years ago for a bit of treachery to the whites, told the story to the artist of her tribe's woes.

The Modocs came unarmed. They squatted in great group in front of the supposed trader. Suddenly the hillside was aflame. The rifles of more than hundred concealed men opened on the defenseless Modocs. They broke and fled, but left scores of dead and wounded behind.

 Naib-es-SuItaneh, who was the first Kajar valiahd to be named governor general of the great northwesterM province iof Azerbaijan, of which Ta- brig is the chief town.

He enjoyed. with his two V younger brothers, the ad- vantage of European tuition, of which his enlightened father saw the impor- tance. The prince has acquired very fair knowledge of French, and is in every way an example of the modern progressive spirit of the last decade in Persia. His highness is anxious to visit Europe, and it is thought likely that the shah may not be adverse to under- taking journey this year.
 The valiahd takes after his father in many ways. He has the same kindly and courteous manner which endears him to all who have the privilege of coming into contact with him. At the same time he seems to have inherited from his grandfather, Nasr-ed-Deen Shah, the frmness of character and strong constitution which distin- guished the shah who was so well known in Europe. He has at the same time inherited from both his ancestors that passion for sport and outdoor ex- ercise which has for generations been the lament of the weakly and indolent courtiers who, at all times and in all weathers, have been obliged, at al moments notice, to accompany their royal masters on fatiguing shooting expeditions in the rocky mountains which surround the capital.

That was the year in which the county was being settled, and the people were in the habit of ass embling on one another's farms and holding a 'log-rolling'' cutting all the timber, rolling it into huge piles and burning 1.-the object being to clear the land.
