ANECDOTES OF WHISTLER
Late Artists Treatment of a Sit
ter Who Annoyed Him.

| 1t is told of the late James Mcneil
1 Whistler that upon a certain occasion
he appeared at a dinner party with no
tie on, says Harper's Weekly. A friend
| of his demonstrated.
"For heavens sake, Whistler, you've
forgotten your tie"'
"Not at ALL" he returned, mot at all!
Why wear tie? My white collar rises
from my white shirt, which is fastened
by gold stud. Everything simple, ex-
cellent Why put another white on top
of that? I'm much better dressed than
your
Whistler was unsparing to sitters
who annoyed HMM fact, a sitting
with him was an ordeal that it re-
quired courage to face. 1t is said that
one man annoyed him horribly by say
ing at the end of each sitting:
How about that ear. Mr.. Whistler?
Don't forget to finish that"
At the last sitting, everything being
done except this ear, Whistler said:
6 well l think l am through. Now
I'll sign it," which he did in a very
solemn, important manner, as was his
way.
but my ear, Mr.. Whistler! You
aren't going to leave it that way?"
"Oh, you can put it in after you get
home"'
Whistler's laXity in the matter of en-
gagements was notorious. No one ever
knew if he were coming or not to af-
fairs. But his point of view is explain
ed in his answer to friend of his who
Enew that he had an engagement to
dine with some swells in a distant part
of London and who felt that it was
most impolitic for Whistler to offend
them. 1t was growing late, and yet
Whistler was painting away, madly,
intently
my dear fellow" he said to him at
last, sit is frightfully late, and you
have to dine with Lady Such-a-One.
Don't you think you'd better stop?'
stop" fairly shrieked Whistler.
"Stop, when everything is going so
beautifully? Go and stuff myself with
disgusting food when 1 can paint like
this? Never! Never! Besides. they
won't do anything until l get there
they never dor And the entire speech
is most characteristic of the man.

A NEW RAIN PRODUCER.
Australia Sends Up Column of
Gas From Three Centers.

The latest Australian newspapers
contain particulars of some expert
ments which are said to have been
more or less successful of a novel
method of producing a downfall of
rain The inventor makes this state
ment:
II claim to produce rain by sending
up continuously from three centers a
column of gas made of certain chem
icaIs. The gas, if sent up for a maxi
mum of thirty-two hours, will produce
rain over Il range of ninety miles at
any altitude, with any sky and with
the wind from any quarter. l do not
need to wait until the wind is from the
usually rainy quarter. In one expert
ment made the barometric conditions
were quite unfavorable, yet 1 pro-
duced rain. The gas, you see, causes
vacuum. This vacuum is the center
Of a heat storm and is filled by dense
clouds that contain rain. These clouds
come down with the gravity of the
earth, when the rain descends.
"The rain is different from ordinary
rain found in districts in which exper-
iments have been made. 1t is trop-
1cal rain. coming from the very lofty
regions, being slight at first and then
later descending in heavy showers and
bucketfuls. Ny operations have been
conducted in an Enclosure IL feet by
feet. Though l cannot, Of course, give
away my secret, may tell you that
the chemicals have to be changed in
accordance with the conditions"

FAMOUS WOMAN SCOUT.
How Calamity Jane" Got Her
Name. One of Her Feats.

The late noted female character
Calamity Jane" who had been known
on the western frontier since 1870, was
christened Calamity Jane in 1872 by
Captain Egan, then commander Of the
army post at Goose Greek. S. D., whose
life she had saved. says the New York
World. Captain Egan was shot from
his horse by an Indian. The woman
scout killed the Indian and. picking up
the wounded officer, she placed him
across her saddle and rode off to the
fort under the fire of other Indians.
When Captain Egan, who was uncon-
scious at the time. learned the circum-
stances of his rescue, he said to his
preserver:
You are good person to have
around in time of calamity, and l
christen you Calamity Jane, the heroine
of the plains"
Buffalo Bill Colonel Cody tells the
following story of Calamity Jane:
I'm 1876 Jane, by a daring feat.
saved the lives of six passengers on a
stagecoach travelling from Deadwood,
S. D., to Wild Birch, in the Black Hills
country.
"The stage was surrounded by In
dams. and the driver, Jack McCaul.
was wounded by an arrow. Although
the other six passengers were men, not
one of them had nerve enough to take
the ribbons. Seeing the s!tua ton. Jane
mounted the drivers seat without
moments hesitation and brought the
stage safely and in good time to Wild
Birch.
"Jack McCaul afterward recovered.
and some time later, while in Dead
wood. he assassinated Wild Bill, one of
Calamity James best friends. The MUIR
der was a cold blooded one, and it was
the general opinion that lrnching was
only too mild for him. Calamity Jane
was in the lead of the lynching party,
and it was she that captured the des-
perado. She had left her rifle at home,
but with. butchers cleaver she held
him up. and very few minutes later
McCauls body was swinging from the
limb of a cottonwood tree and his
soul had passed over the great divide"

defend 1t, will have cost, one way and
another, $435,0O0 or more. That is
staggering amount to contemplate, but
when everything is cleared up at the
end of the season it may be $45O,0OO.
In addition to this sum, there must
be considered that in placing in COM
mission the Constitution her running
expenses reached from $50, 900 to $70,-
900. while the Columbia has cost Mr.. j.
Pierpont Morgan $4,000 or possibly
S55, 1000. These figures will therefore
show that the defense of the cup this
year will approach the very respectable
amount of 1915, 900 or 100000.
The building and rigging of the Re
lance cost a fortune. The yachts con-
struction required the best OF work
men, while all the standing and run
ming rigging was expressly made, and
her canvas occupied the attention of a
large body of sail makers for months.
The Reliance has possibly a hundred
different sails, and $4,000 or so will
represent the cost of a suit. In this
particular the Constitution and the Co.
lumbia have not been so expensive
The tenders Park City and Satellite
are said to have been purchased by
Mr.. E. d. Morgan and Mr.. August Bel
mont respectively, but they are valu-
able assets and need not be seriously
considered in this financial summary.
The tender Sunbeam is chartered and
there can be no return from her, but
Sir Thomas tender CruiZer will be
valuable after the match.
With a crew of about fifty-five on the
Reliance and crew on the tender Sun
beam there are many men to be looked
after daily. The yachts sailors are
paid big wages $50 month or more
and there is a scale Of prize money ar
ranged by Mr. Iselin so liberal that
Reliance man, if he is saving, will end
the season with a tidy amount to his
credit.
Racing crews cost prodigiously to
feed, as they are men in the best Of
health. while their work naturally
gives them excellent appetites. There

on the Sunbeam looking after the wei
fare of Mr.. Iselin and his associates
and the officers and crew of the Reli-
ance and their own ship as are found
in a good sized city hotel.
All changes in the yachts fittings, all
alterations or repairs to rigging and
spars, are paid for extra. while the
docking bills are very large. The
$450,00O or more that the Reliance will
cost must not be included in any way
with the New York Yacht clubs eX-
penditures in arranging for the races.
The nine men who own the defender
will bear the burden Of that vessels
expenses, but the syndicate does not
meet the personal bills of Mr.. Iselin,
the managing owner.
1t may cost the club $25, 600 or more
to see that the match is properly sailed
and the challenging vessel receives all
that is due her. while the amount in
cidentally expended by the public that
it may witness the races need not now
be thought Of.

FIND DEAD BODY
IN BETHEL HULK
Death of Man Found Thought
to Have Been Caused
by Drowning.

The body of an unidentified man was
found in the old bulk of the Bethel
boat yesterday morning by a crowd of
boys and men who were at work on the
shell breaking it apart for kindling
wood. Late Tuesday afternoon the
hulk broke from it's mornings at the
foot of Jackson street, and when the
body was discovered the wrecked hulk
had drifted into a pool near the state
fish hatchery.
Coroner A. w. Miller was notified
and at once ordered the body removed
to the mOTgue. Up to a late hour last
night the remains had not been identi-
fed. although II. c. Peters, who lives
near Fort Smelling, called at the
morgue and was Of the opinion that
the body was that Of Irish John" a
laborer, who had been missing for sew
eral months. Peters was not positive
of his identification, nor could he tell
the sir name Of the man missing from
the fort.
An autopsy held yesterday by DR..
Finnell shows that death resulted from
drowning. The mans lungs were filed
with water. There were no bruises
about his body that would indicate he
met with foul play.
The man was about fifty-five years
of age, was five feet four inches high
and weighed 10 pounds. He wore a
full beard and side whiskers, which
We're streaked with gray. Nothing was
found about the mans clothing which
would lead to his Identification.
1t is thought that the body foated
into the hulk after it broke from its
mornings.

QUASHES WRIT OF
HABEAS CORPUS
DR.. Richeson's Effort to Gain
Custody of Daughter Block
ed by Technically.

Judge Lewis yesterday morning
quashed the writ of habeas corpus
sued out by DR.. w. G. Richeson for
the purpose of securing possession Of
his little daughter, who was i'm the
custody Of the Childs mother in Min
neapolis.
DR.. and Mrs. Richeson have been
living apart for some time, the child
being with the mother, who had taken
up her residence in Minneapolis, where
she was living with her sister DR..
Richeson secured the writ Of habeas
corpus in Ramsey county and, ac-
companied by deputy sheriff, went
TO Minneapolis Monday and brought
back the child with Mrs Richeson.
When the matter came up before
Judge Lewis yesterday Mrs. Richeson's
attorney moved to have the writ
quashed on the ground that it was Sc
cured In Ramsey county and served in
Hennepin. According to statutes quot
ed by the attorney a writ must be Sc
cured in the same county in which it
is served, providing there is a person
in that county competent to issue a
writ.
Judge Lewis held that the point was
well taken and granted the motion to
quash the writ, leaving the child in the
possession of the mother

years played about the court room.

and father.
The fight for the custody of the child
will probably be carried into the Hem
nepln county courts, providing Mrs.
Rlcneson continues to make her home
in that city.
