REBUKE FROM The PRESIDENT.
Senator TilIman's Invitation to
Prince Henry Dinner Withdrawn.
The south CaroIfnan saysthe Pres
1denf's Action Is Indeeent-A Gil
max to the Contempt Proceed
inEs in the Senate.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The president
Monday withdrew his invitation ex-
tended to Senator TiIlman, of South
Carolina, to attend the dinner given
Monday night IN honor of Prince
Henry of Prussia at the white house.
This action on the part Of the presi-
dent was made necessary from the
fact that owing to occurrences on the
floor of the senate last Saturday the
senator from South Carolina was de-
clared in contempt Of the senate.
The invitation was extended orr
ginaIly to Mr.. TiIlmaD owing to
the fact that he is the ranking minor
ity member Of the naval affairs com
mittee.
Commenting upon the letter Mr..
Tillman said: "The president, of
course, has the right to invite any
one he chooses to dine with him Off
cially or otherwise and also has the
right to withdraw such invitation AS
I am not conscious of having done
anything personal or official which
gives the president the right to in
suit, am surprised at his action.
The invitation to the dinner came to
me unsought and Unexpectedly and
so far as the withdrawal is concerned
it is a matter OF absolute Indifference
to me. 1t is the motive behind it
which seeks to put me in the cOndi-
ton of unworthiness to meet the
president and his guests before final
action by the senate. Prince Hen
~, the presidents guest, comes from
a country where custom makes it
obligatory upon any man who regards
himself a gentleman to promptly re-
sent an insult and the method is
by challenge to a duel. That was
once the custom but now it is ObsO-
1ete in the United States and we have
been forced as a people here to cling
to the old AnglO-SaxOD rule of con-
sidering the lie direct as the first blow
and no man could hold up his head in
decent society should he, being near
enough to answer the lie with blow
not to give. The president has no
right to judge me guilty Of conduct
unbecOming a gentlemen unless he
bellies all his antecedents which led
one to believe that he would have
done just as I did under the circum-
stances. As to which of US is the
gentleman in this matter, IN view of
the unsOught invitation to dinner at
the white house and its indecent
withdrawal am willing to abide by
the Judgment of all brave and self
respecting men"

THE VENDETTA
THAT DID NOT DIE

little house on the ramParts Of BOni-
faciO- The village, built on the jut-
ting-Out side Of a mountain, actually
in places overhung the sea. It looked
across a narrow sandbar upon the
lower coast of Sardinia. At its feet,
on the other side, the sea had cut
out a place in the cliff, which looked
like a gigantic corridor, and served
as the port. The water reached al
most to the houses Of the town, car
rying upon it the little Italian and
Sandman fishing boats, and every

looked like birds nests stuck into

Ientlessly the wind harries the sea,
and wears against the naked faces
Of the rock, wherein few blades Of
grass could cling. Pale foam hecks
scattered upon the thousands Of
rock edges which pierce into the sea,
looking like rags of white linen,
floating and palPitating upon the
surface Of the water.
The Widow Savorini's house, placed
upon the extreme edge of the pas
sageway, opened its three windows
upon this savage and desOlate no

She lived there alone with her son
Antoine, and their dog SemiIlant, a
big, emaciated, ragged-haired sheP-
herd dog. She was the young mans
hunting dog.
One night, after a quarrel, Antoine
was murdered by Nicolas RavOIlati

escaped to Sardinia.

RED CLOUD Is DYING
Was Consp cuols on the Frontier
for Two Generations.
Famous sioux Chief. Now Preparing
for the Journey TO Manitou-Has
Long Been Friendly TO the
Nhite Race.

Red Cloud. the famous Indian chief
who was second in command Of the
aboriqines III sitting Bull at the bat
tie Of the Little Big Horn, when Gen.
Custer and all his men were massa-
cred, is lying a the point Of death, at
Piue Ridge, $. d. His condition is re-
garded as hopeless and probably ere
many days he will have gone to the
happy hunting grounds of his fathers.
For many years past Red Cloud mas
been mentioned among the good In
dams" of the nation. Since the peace
that followed the final defeat Of his
tribe he has been the white mans
friend and has received many atten-
lions from the officials at Washing
ton, which city he twice visited in. the
interests of those over whom he once
ruled with an iron hand. Next to
Tecumseh he has filed the largest
place in American history Of any In
dian and, in many respects, he was
that gallant warriors superior. His
compatriot, Sitting Bull, was more
notorious, but his standing among the
Sioux themselves was far below that
of the truly great man who now lies
at the verge of the grave. Osceola,
Black Hawk, Geronimo, Joseph and
others have been prominent in frontier
annals in modern times. Red Cloud
represents the best type, Geronimo the
worst.
Maqbe-Luta, Crimson Cloud, was
born in 1922. OF his youth we know
but little. He probably roamed over
the country, capturing game, playing
war and initiating in pantomime the
feats of his fathers. We hear of him
as young man of IS or 20 in various
engagements against the Crows, Paw
nees and other enemies of the Sioux,
