Charlottesville and Gettysburg. At
the latter battle he commanded a bat
terry of artillery that rendered most eff
fective service against the legions of
Lee. He almost paid for his bravery
with his life at Gettysburg, being Sc
verely wounded, bullet passing

Ing the surrender of Lee, Col. Sobieski

In Minnesota; and then, according to
the Chicago Chronicle, he was elected

The protecting bosom OF the United
States shelters no More picturesque
character than Col. John Sobieski, q
Polish exile. who for Sc years has made
his home in this country and for 20
years or more In this city. His life
history reads like romance and he is
In many respects one OF the most re-
markable men in public life to-day. He
was born In Warsaw, Poland, Septem-
Der 10, 1912, and was the only son OF
Count John Sobieski, who lost his life
In the revolution OF Poland In 1876.
One OF his ancestors was John Sobieski.
who reigned from 1910 to 1896 as king
OF Poland under the title Of John Ill.
He was one OF Poland's greatest war
riors. Two Counts Sobieski, the father
and grandfather of Col. Sobieski, met
their deaths at the hands of Russian
headsmen because of their devotion to
their native land. Col. Sobieski's IA
Their, who was the owner OF 1000 serfs
and also OF rich mineral lands, was the
leader OF the rebellion Of 1848 against
Russian rule The revolution was un-
successful and Count Sobieski was i'm
prisoned and finally met his death Cd
the block, and his devoted wife and the
boy were forthwith banished from Po-
land. They went to Austria, but the
feeling In that monarchy was hostile to
Polish patriots, and from there the pair
proceeded to free Switzerland, where
they were warmly received by the col
ony of Polish exiles who had preceded
them. Afterwards Mrs. Sobieski and
her son went to Italy and later to Eng
land, from which country, in 1855, a
midshipman struggled young Sobieski
on board ship and brought him to free
America.
On arrival In the United States the

China. it is not surprising, though it is
noteworthy, that their movements
have not differed very greatly. In
June, 1894, Gen. Oshima, and in the
following September Marshal Yama-
gaia, landed at Chemulpo, and
marched on Seoul, just as Gen. Kuro-
ki's troops did in February last The
Chinese were then in great strength in
Korea, and were defeated near Asan
south of Seoul, on July 20; but the
whole course OF the operations was 20
drive them west of the Yalu. They
made great stand at Pingyang, where
they were defeated in sanguinary ac-
ton by Gen. Nodzu on September 10,
but after that they retreated to the
very same positions on the right bank
Of the Yalu from which the Russians,
snuer Gen. Sassulitch, were driven
with such great loss on May l.

WILL WE'D AN INDIAN
BROOKLYN HEIREsS TO BE THE
WIFE OF A PUEBLO.
Father Says She Must Lose Fortune
If She Chooses Red Man--Thinks
They Knew Each Other in
Another Life.
Denver (col.) Special.

DeHYer kIol.) special.
Miss Cora Marie Arnold not SO very
long ago was noted among the pretty and
refined girls Of Brooklyn. She certainly
left many eligible suitors behind when
she forsook New York mansion for a
Denver home. Now she has startled her
friends by proclaiming that she will re-
nounce her title to her fathers wealth in
order to wed an Indian chief, Albino
Chavarria.
Chief Chavarria Is full bred Indian.
Miss Arnold is a direct descendant of
Roger Williams Her father says his
daughter must choose between his for
tune and her Indian.
Miss Arnold has made her choice. She
will shortly leave her home in Denver
and start life anew in little adobe house
among the Indians of Santa Clara. The
date OF the wedding has not yet been an
nounced, but indications point to June.
1t was several years ago when the
Pueblo Indians of Santa Clara appeared
in Denver giving exhibitions OF horse
manship that Miss Arnold met her soul
mate" She says that she thrilled" the
instant Chief Cnavarria vaulted into po-
sition on his horses back, and these
lines from Lonefellow came to her:
AS unto the bow the cord is. so unto man Is
woman.
Though she bends him. she obeys him;
Though she Ieades him, yet she follows:
Useless each without the other.
So absorbed was she In watching every
movement of the chief she failed to note
how the horses were closing In around
her. Around and around raced the steeds
and their riders and Chavarria became
lost to view among the flying hoofs, tiut-
tering ribbons and swinging blankets.
AS Miss Arnold turned to rejoin her
friends she felt herself lifted from the
ground. On dashed the Indian, whose
horse in another instant would have
flung her to the earth.
1t was Chief Chavarria, and 1t was on
the camping ground amid the wild ex-
element of horse race that the first
chapter of Miss Arnold's story opened.
From here on Miss Arnold takes up hel
romance and gives 1t to the public.

large extent the japanese plans and

illustration Of this, being repetition
Of those which crowned their arms

then the enemy approached from the

Died In Denver.

Mrs. Lizzie Ross, relict of the late
James Ross of this city, died in Den
yer, on Tuesday Of last week and her
remains, accompanied by her son
Otto, arrived here last Friday for in
terment, which took place Saturday
afternoon. The cause of her death
was paralysis. Mrs. Ross was well
known by most Of our citizens. Here
she lived in girlhood, her maiden
name being Lizzie Prentis, and here
she was married and reared the three
children who survive her-James, at
present located at Dodgeville, Otto
located at Minneapolis, and Miss
Kate, whose health caused her and
her mother to move to Denver.
Deceased was but 81 years old
when the grim destroyer crossed her
pathway. She was woman of kind
and cheerful disposition. and many
are the friends with saddened hearts
because Of her sudden and untimely
termination.

conclusions:
That the organization would be

benefit to the young men OF our city ;
That they were in favor of organic
| ing an association in case the nects-
sary funds can be raised to install
and maintain the same, the amount
necessary to be provided by the first

ally thereafter from $1,000 to 81 800.
About two-thirds of the annual ex-
penses they thought could be raised
from the proceeds of annual dues,
the balance should be provided for
by annual subscriptions.
