finally in the appointment of Mr.. May

Since that time Mr.. Maynard has
devoted himself TO the work Of MAX
ing the mechanical section one of
the most thorough and instructive ex-
hibits in the museum. The manner
in which he has arranged the speci-
mems stands %uneuua'e1 Tor purposes
of study, and has been extensively
copied in other museums. Starting
in n n of this section, one be-
holds a cas- bearing a legend inform

This was the ak of the cave men of
France. Then follows another flint ak.
on which the chipping is finer and
more artistic; then another, ground
and polished, the ak of Neolithic mar
in England.
The next stage is a beautifully pol

by the men of the stone age, and was
found in Norway. Passing from the
stone age, one notes the dawn of the
bronze age, when human beings first
learned the art of melting and casting
metals. The first are rude axe ham,
mered out of native copper by the
Lake Superior aborigines; then fol-
low the bronze axes of the ancient
Celts and Goths.
Passing then from the bronze into
the iron age, one notes the first iron
axes of the Greeks and Phoenicians;
then the battle ak Of the Crusaders,
the old English yeoman's ak, down

Every implement and machine,
guns, saws, lanterns, looms, watches,

so that the visitor to the National
Museum has only to stand before the
gun or knife case in Mr.. Maynard's
section to witness the tangible evil
dences of the progress of humanity,
step by step, from barbarism to" the
highest and most advanced stage of
twentieth century civilization.
MI. Maynard is a member of the
American Institute of Electrical En-
gineers, the London Institute of Elec-

upon the subject of %telegraphy and

SENATOR MoRGAN's cANDoR.

Senator Morgan may be accused of
dreaming when he seriously advocates
such a scheme az transporting the
American negro to the Philippines
and %colonizing him there, but when it
comes to the matter of defining with
exactitude and truth the position of
his party on the trust question he
must be accepted as speaking OF some
thing he knows and with the force and
power Of. an authority: A few days
ago he was interviewed by the Wash
ington Post and spoke without re-
serve, while at the same time display
ing an honesty and sincerity that was
astonishing as it was refreshing.
Ardent and consistent democrat
that he is and has always been, Sena-
tor Morgan could not descend to the
level of some of his fellow members
that only the republican leaders are
friendly to the gigantic industrial and
commercial combinations that have
been formed within recent times to
annoy and brighten the people.
Here is what he said in this regard:
81 cannot see that there is any great
democratic and republican parties on
the question of trusts. Whichever
party is out of power cries against
the octopus. Whichever party is in
power hugs the octopus to it's breast.
Political afiliation seems to be no
shield against the glitter of great
wealth has attained in the United
States is calculated to fill one with
awe. The pce.sident and Congress a:r
pigmies beside ii 1t is feared by the
leaders of both political parties. The
pot has no ground upon which to crit
icise the kettles blackness. Demo-
Gratis and republicans alike Oh the
stump rave and shout and profess Gag
ernes to engage in mortal combat
with the giant. They come to con
gress to assume executive Office, and
their limbs are paralyzed and their
tongues silenced."
A little further on he says that he
does not consider tariff legislation a
trust remedy. In answer to the ques-
ton whether he thought the trust
would be the issue in the next presi-
Dental campaign he said:
Undoubtedly there will be much
discussion of the trusts in 1904, but
both parties in their national plat
forms will go on record as opposed to
them. l do not see how it a be a
real issue. Each party will accuse
the other of insincerity in it's anti
trust plank and each will try to out
crow the other, but l doubt if the
question will afford an issue that will
seriously count in determining results"
In conclusion he gave it as his opin-
ion that the paramount issue will be
the tariff, a contention for and against
a protective tariff.
In another part of his interview Sen
ator Morgan is quoted as saying that
a solution of the question is bound to
come, but he does not say that his
party will be the one to solve the
problem, even if he does not admit
that it will be the republican party
that will afford the relief now demand
ed. 1t is his belief that a political rev
olution will precede the solution he
says is coming and that both of the ex-

Louisiana, Mo-. Dec. ia consignment
of Alaskan curios for the Worlds Fair
at st. Louis passed through Louisiana last
night on two fiat cars.
Among the exhibits there were three
large poles about sixty feet in length and
three or four feet in diameter at their
bases. All were handsomely and curious
ly carved with heads of men, women. dis
torted faces. animals, snakes and other
figures of various kinds. One of the largest
poles was shell abeL six inches in
thickness. 1t was made ON at one time
a very large tree and evidently very old.
A heavy coating OF moss covered large
part Of II, and already evidences of decay
were noticed.
The poles have Travelled a great distance
without mishap. They are known as
totem poles. The natives of Alaska, like
various tribes of American Indians, be-
lieve that there is mysterious and
wonderful power in totems. In fact, they
consider them much as other heather do
their idols.
The totem pole in front of a natives
residence is supposed to keep any sickness
or evil spirits away. Much time is spent
in their decoration.

siOner Wands Tells of Trav-

Ernest H. Wands, he Worlds Fair
Commissioner. whose arrival from South
America, after an absence Of two years,
was announced in yesterdays Republic,
received Il letter yesterday which had fol-
lowed him from Caracas, Venezuela. The
letter is from +. H Plumacher. United
States Consul at Maracaibo. Venezuela.
and is dated November cS In part. Mr..
Plumacher says:
.'On the sd of this month there came
10 Maracaiho a young Mexican with the
name of Guillermo koppel who has
travelled on foot from Buenos Ayres, in
the Argentine Republic. to Maracaibo. and
intends to walk to the St. Louis EXPOSE
tion.
The young man is &c years old. deaf
and dumb but is pretty well educated.
His object is to go ON foot through South,
Central and North America to st. Louis,
hoping that the Board of Directors of
the Fair will AXE an interest in his fu-
ture and enable him to enter Z school to
finish his educati tion.
Young Koppel does not accept any
money during his long voyage on foot, but
lives on the hospitality of the persons he
meets on his march. He carries about
twenty-five kilos of baggage on his Shoul-
interest In him, and. finding that he alb
sclutely needed few days rest, l have
taken him to my house. and also to have
time to see which is the best way to guide
him.
SEE HIM SAFELY THROUGH.
Il could send him through the Indian
Territory to Rio de Hacha. in Colombia.
My influences and friendship with the
leading Indian chiefs would be enough
guarantee to see him get through in safe
ty, but as / do not know how the future
state Of peace will be i'm that part of Co
iumbia, / have concluded to send him up
to Caracas TO consult with you.
''1t seems he has to go to Caracas. and
should be there at the end of this month.
To send him on foot via Altagracia. to
Coro. and then overland, to continue his
will only make him lose time and
strength.
j shall. therefore send him by steamer
to La Guayra and from there he can
walk to Caracas and ] am sure that you
and friend Russell will give to HIM the
best advice as to how he can reach in
safety St Louis through Central America.
Young Mr.. koppel has from the authors
ties of all the places by which he has
passed the proofs that he has been
there.
He comes now from Bogota, via Medel-
lin to Maracaibo. ] know that terrible

fram the Argentine Republic on foot and

Mexico. on February 10. 1900. for the Ar
gentine Republic. and worked his way
up to Maracaibo from Buenos AyreS
II hope he will arrive in time and IN
safety TO the opening of the Exposition.

his king to the notice Of the di.
