NO MORE EXTENSIONS.
Davenport Turned Down by Interior
Department Officials.


James 5. Davenport called on
Acting secretary Ryan and Com
missioner OF Indian Affairs jones,
in Washington yesterday, and re-
qnested further eontinuance IN
the hearings before the depart
meni on the Cherokee Oil and Gas
company's leases. The request
was denied by ther officials, who
insisted that the hearing should
take place on September l1th, re-
minding Mr.. Davenport incident
ally, that the department had all
ready granted an extension Of
thirty days, which they considered
adequate for the preparation OF all
necessary papers.
II is thought in Washington
that the department will grant The
leases, despite any legal opposi-
tion that the attorneys for the
Cherokee people may develope.
Secretary Hitchcock is known to
be strongly in favor of the oil
pirates and the hearing OF the
petition of the Cherokee nation,
will simply be matter of form.

EAST ERN COMPANY
Having River Surveyed and Win
Lease Sufficient Frontage to
Establish Hydro-Electric
Plant to Supply Power to
Proposed Factories.

The giant power that tumbles to
waste over the rocks OF Grand
river is to be harnessed and con-
'trolled for the use of man.
A company OF Eastern capitalists
who at present control many OF the
most important waterways in the
south, will soon establish, if leases
can be obtained, a mammoth elec-
tsic plant that will use the wasted
power in its turbines.
For the past week corps of en-
gineers have been engaged In sur
veying the course of the river for
favorable site where the mighty
flow could be diverted into the
turbines of the plant, and the To-
cation has been selected.
+; The scope OF the company will
not be confined to the generation
and sale of electric power, but
they propose erecting several cot
ton factories at points along the
copper lines that will distribute
the power over radius OF fifty
miles.
E. 'E. Ludlow, an electrical en-
gineer Of national repute, who has
had charge of the work, left this
city for the East today.
Before leaving he admitted that
site bad been selected, and that
the question Of obtaining a lease
: was the only one to be settled be-
fore work was commenced.
He refused to divulge the loca-
tion, but stated that 1t was within
easy access OF this city.
The company, he further stated,
has practically unlimited capital,
aud that plant sufficient 10 supply
all Of the towns within a radius of
fifty miles With light aud power
would be established
At favorable points cotton fac.
tories will be built and operated
by the company IN conjunction
with those that they control IN
several Of the southern states.
He estimates that about 1900
horsepower can be developed at
low water, which with a storage
: ystem can be increased mate-
rally.
After a conference with ais su-
periors in New York, Mr.. ludlow
will return here to obtain the
necessary leases.

MODERN DEN rISTRY
xftistic and Intricate Gold FiIIings .
 Thing of the Past.

Artistic and Intricate Gold FiIIings .
 Thing of the Past.
 "The mUdern dentist need not be nearly as skilled a workman as his father was," said one of the craft yes- terday, as he merrily knitted up foot or two of nerve with his little crochet hook, entirely disregarding his patients moans. You see, there are no beau tiful and artistic gold filings put in nowadays. As soon as tooth gives an opportunity for showing skill in flll- Ing, presto! 1t is cut off and crowned or bridged with gold. A gold tooth Is considered not unbeautiful, 1t seems hut nowadays porcelain filings are preferred to metal Cnes for conspicu ous places. The porcelain comes in a powder, an impression of the cavity is taken, the filling made, baked hard, in- terted, and secured by the cement with which the cavity has first been padded. As all shades of porcelain are to be had to match the different tints of teeth, these filings are quite tnconspicuous. "SAS e'A V S AS" UCopAC DUH Wlo uoA mind showing gold mine when they open their mouths, and among these are colored people, who seem to think they gain certain amount of distinc- ton from such a display. Among the most curious requests that I have had tn regard to work was one from an ac- tress to extend a cavity she had in a front tooth so that 1t would form ], and fill it with gold. She explained that she was going to marry a man named John, and that she thought 1t would be perfectly lovely to have his initial in evidence whenever she talk ed I finally dissuaded her from this original project by pointing out that it might be embarrassing in later years, If she should chance to marry man named Thomas or Richard. She evil dently saw the good sense of my re- marks, but she relinquished her re- marlable idea reluctantly. Women generally very sensibly want to make the fact that they have had to resort to art to preserve their teeth as imper- ceptible as possible, so, as said be- fore, there's no really beautiful work done at present in the way of intricate filings, and that's a fact"-Paltimor News.

LAWRENCE, INFANT PRODIGY.

Attracted the Attention of Garsick,
 Foote, Burke and Sheridan.
 Raphael, with genius at his back, did not come to maturity so quickly, nor did Rubens, triumphant at Antwerp, hold popular applause so long; for Lawrence kept his admiring public to the last, and was something of won der both as man and boy, says the Century. His whole career was bril- liant, yet not through intrinsic force; his art was successful without heinz great; he was honored and praised down to his grave, and yet he possessed not genius. There are men who achieve popular success without genius. Lawrence was one of them. The father was a man of some birth and educa- tion. but what is called the poetic temperament" and never got on yery well in the world. He was at different times a barrister without brief, an actor without part, keeper of the White Lion inn at Devices without guests enough to make it pay. When young Lawrence was 3 years old his father made change of base and moved into the Black Bear inn. It was here that the boy was placed uron table to recite Shakespeare for tho guests. Here, also, he developed a wonderful gift Of making portraits in pastel of the passing public. guest could have q portrait painted while he waited and the speed of the artist was not less wonderful than his age. The duchess of Devonshire and Lord and Lady Kenyon were among his early sitters, and the record is preserved that Lady Kenyon's likeness was drawn in profile, because, as the child artist de- rlared, "her face was not straight" Tn short time he had attracted the attention of Garrick, Foote, Wilkes. Burke, Sheridan and Johnson, and his father began travelling with him about the neighboring country and exhibiting him as one of the wonders os the age

Where Goldfish Are Fropa gated.

About three DIiles south of St. JoS' eph, on the King Hill road, is located one of the Missouri state fish hatch cries. Its chief interest lies in the Eact that it is the only place in the state or i'll the country anywhere. where goldfish are propagated and dis tributed. Here these little aquarium beauties may be obtained for a mere

 4Atast Addition to the Scottish, ZDo.
 The latest addition to the Scottish Zoo is a vlacke vark or emgalla, direct from the l ransvaa1. It is an ungainly- looking animal. with long tusks and a portent tously ugly head. One of the chief peculiarities of this animal is the enormous projection which Hanks the face on either side just below the eyes So large are these eXcrescences, and so deeply sunk are the eyes, that the creature cannot look behind it in the usual manner of animals, and is there fore obliged to hold it's head perpen, dicularly to cast glance over it's own back. As it always holds it's tail per pendicularly when l. runs, the general sffect is exceedingly ludicrous.
