Special Correspondence Of The Star
ALEXANDRIA, Va. June 6, 1905.
The call issued by Chairman J. Taylor
Ellyson Of the state democratic committee
for meeting OF that body June 10 in Rich
mond to arrange for the state primary at
which a United States senator and state
officers will be nominated has been received
with much interest In this city on account
OF the growing intensity Of the contests be-
tween the forces of Gov. Montague and
Senator Martin for the senatorship and
Representative Swanson and Lieut.. Gov.
Willard for the nomination for governor.
Several details of considerable impoI lance
to the rival candidates will be settled at
the meeting OF the committee. which will
b held In Murphys Hotel at o'clock the
evening of the 18th. Among other things
the state body Will prescribe the duties of
the men who are to have charge Of the
primary and will fix the date for the voting
and the date for the closing OF the entries.
What time the Committee win select for
the primary is, of course, undecided as
yet. but 1t Is predicted that a day In the
first two weeks of August will be fixed.
This, 1t Is said, would give ample time for
the winding up Of the campaign in the
democratic party, and sufficient time there
after for the campaign against the repub-
lcans.

The Gridiron Clubs Tribute.

A special meeting of the Gridiron Club

suitable action upon the funeral arrange
ments of Gen. H. v. Boynton. There was
a large attendance of the club. both the

1t was decided that the club should at

assemble at the New York Avenue Presby-
terrain Church at 1O:45 tomorrow. Many
members of the club will also accompany
the remains to Arlington. Suitable resolu-
tons in respect to the death of General
Boynton were drafted.
At the meeting of the club today Mr..
Robert ]. Wynne. consul general to Lon
don, who was very closely associated with
General Boynton for a number of years.
spoke feelingly about the late friend and
associate of all the members Of the Grid
iron Club.
General Boynton was closer to US than
father or brother" said Mr. Wynne He
was our friend. counselor, guide and model.
An acquaintance Of over twenty-five years
In the closest and most intimate relations
enables me to speak with knowledge re-
garding this mans virtues. He had abso-
luteiy nothing Of evil in him. He was as
incapable of an impure thought word or
action as one of the Amounted of heaven
His sole object in life seemed to be to do
good. In whatever form this mission was
presented General Boynton awaited himself
or the opportunity to render service
promptly and efficiently
He helped the poor and aided the
worthy. Rank or station made no DIFF
ference to him in recognizing merit. Woe
betide the dishonest or the immoral man
who came within reach Of the generals
pen. As newspaper writer he never
ceased to battle against corruption, as he
never ceased to praise decency and hon
esty in public life. And how kind he was
to the younger men in our profession!
This prince of journalists and gentlemen
would go to any length for his friends.
He spared himself not at all in labor, but
he would tighten the burdens of his as
sociates. That poiiteness. that considera-
ton for Others so happily practiced by
members OF the Gridiron Club owes its
beginning to Boynton's precepts as one
of our founders.
When the years roll by let us hope that
the force Of his example will not grow
less. could tell OF General Boynton's

INDIAN BASKET MAKING.
HO1o Demand Has LO1oered the
Quality of Supply.

1t is becoming more and more difficult Ii Is
said, to secure finely. woven Indian baskets. and
consequently to form collections of the basketry
of the aboriginal American. Fewer of the fine
baskets being made, and the number OF
those who desire to make collections is increas-
ing. 1t is estimated that baskets valued at
$5,O0O,OOO have been taken from California and
Arizona within the last two years. Not all of
these, however, were of the kind sought by the
most exacting collectors. So heavy has been
the demand that the Southwest has been WELL
nigh denuded of the finer baskets. Most OF the
baskets now obtainable made hurriedly and
to fulfil the demands made by collectors. The
Indians do not spend the same amount Of time
upon them when they made baskets to be
handed down herloOms. In some cases 1t is
not possible for them to find the durable grasses
which they snce used fer civilization has extin-
guished them.
Some of the earlier baskets were the product
of months Of labor Many of these cannot be
bought for less than $25, and as high as $1,000
has been paid fer specimens. The kind of bas-
ket that be bought for 81 80 or 81 is not the
kind which the experienced collector will ac-
cept, He wants a basket which illustrates the
artictic taste and the skill of tribe not pot
boiler"
At one time basket making art carried
by all the tribes of Pacific Coast Indians from
Alaska to Mexico AT present the tribes of Ari-
zona make most of the baskets The Moki, or
Hop and the Apaches make many baskets and
plaques. The Pimas and MaricOpas formerly
made fine baskets and some OF the former do
to-day. The Pmas learned the art from the
Marcopas when the latter sought shelter among
| them from the slaughter of the Yumas. about
one hundred years ago. The Maricopas have
allowed their basket weaving to cease, while the
Pmas are again taking it up.

THE sLUM CHILD IN THE COUNTRY.

At luncheon given by Mrs Alice Barber
Stephens, the illustrator, at her new home at
Moylan the talk turned for while to the vari-
Gus charitable societies that give slum children
outings in the country in the summer.
Remarkable instances were narrated Of slum
chiIdren's ignorance of country life-their idea
that milk was an extract of the milkweed. that
eggs came from the eggplant, that mush was a
product of the mushroom, and so on.
'"Those instances" said Mrs. stephens, ARE
old and well known. But let me tell you or a
new one that happened last summer
"a little East Side boy was on his first coun-
try excursion. He lay on the grass in peach
orchard making a chain of daisies and butter
cups. Across the blue sky a line of birds darted,
and his hostess. a young woman, said;
Look up. Look Up, Tommy. See the pretty
birds flying through the air.
Tommy looked up quickly. and then he said
in a compassionate tone:
Poor little fellers! They amt got no cages
have they?'"
