Them Extremely Gloomy
Special to The Herald.
RYE, N. Y, July 23.-Warner M. Van
Norden, banker of New York, has pur-
chased the historical Jay mansion, on
the Boston post road near this town.
The mansion was occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. d. Percy Morgan until they separ-
ated about a year ago.
The testimony offered by Mrs. Nor
gan In her suit for decree of separa-
ton showed that the old mansion was
one of the main causes of their dis
agreement. Mrs. Morgan wanted to live
in the mansion, because 1t was once the
home Of John Jay, signer of the
Declaration of independence.
Every season she entertained numer-
Gus charitable societies there, showing
them among other things the grave of
John Jay, which is in private ceme-
terry Just back of the house.
Mr.. Morgan cared nothing about the
historical associations. He said the
neighborhood was entirely too gloomy
for him, and he wanted Mrs. Morgan to
reside in New Jersey When she refused
absolutely, he kidnapped the children,
which was one of the acts of cruelty al
legged in Mrs. Morgan's complaint.

MONESSBN, Pa, July 23.-For q
long time Mrs. Jules Ashland has been
alarmed because her 3-year-old daugh-

any one could understand. she feared
that the child had some throat trouble.
The little one jabbered all the time but
it was all unintelligible.
Mrs. Ashland is an invalid and had
never been much in the baby's COM
pany. Her husband is travelling man
and away from home most of the time.
Little Marie has spent all Of her three
years under the care Of Finnish nurse.
SO alarmed did the mother become
over the matter that last week she
called in throat specialist to examine
Marie It happened that the specialist
understood the Finnish language aud
the first thing that he heard on enter
ing the house was little Marie deliver
ing a TRADE against her mother because
she would not talk to her.
The doctor diagnosed the case In an
instant. The nurse always had talked
to the baby in Finnish and that was the
tongue little Marie had learned. There
was no one about her to teach her
English, the mother having been verv
i'll when she started to talk. Finnish
was the only thing she knew.
The nurse is looking for new place,
while Marie is learning to say papa

TO APPEAsE LAND HUNGER.
Choice Reservation of the Crow In
dians to Be opened Soon.

People are still land hungry. NotwitI-
standing the fact that, according to
Commissioner of the General Land Of
fee ". A. Richards, there are approx
mately 473,000 900 acres of vacant unap-
propriated land, excluding Alaska, pres
sure is constantly brought to bear upon
congress for the opening Of lands hith-
erto set aside for the Indians. One IN
dian reservation after another is being
thrown open to public settlement, the
aboriginal occupants being given farms
in severalty if they desire to live the
lives of white men, or being compelled
to take circumscribed quarters if they
wish to live the tribal or blanket life.
Last year the greatest reservation op-
ening was that of the Rosebud, in
South Dakota
This summer two more reservations
viii be thrown open to a certainty-the
Grow, in southern Montana, and the
Uintah, in eastern Utah. 10 these will
probably be added the Wind River or
Soshone reservation, in Wyoming All
these reserva tions offer vast opportuni-
ties to the white man. The Uintah and
Wind River reservations are rich in
minerals, but to the genuine homeseek-
er-the man who wishes to carve his
fortune with no other instrument than
the plow-the Grow reservation will
make the most effective appeal.
The Crow reservation is just over
the northern boundary of wyoming,
in Montana. Tt is one of the greatest
reservations in the country and has
long been coveted by the white man.
The Brush-Alliance branch of the
Burlington railroad, connecting with
the Northern Pacific, extends entirely
through the reservation. There is a
southwark branch of the Burlington,
at TOluca, extending to Cody, from
where one can make a delightful jour
ney through the reservations new
"side door route to Yellowstone park.
Travellers who journey through the
reservation by rail are astounded at
the fertility of the scene that meets
their eyes. Under the magic touch of
irrigation, rich farms dot the land
scape of bare, brown hills. But for
the tepees that raise their smoke
I Drowned tops on either side of the
track and the Indians who are seen
riding or driving along the roads, one
might imagine he was pursuing his
way through a peaceful and prosper
Gus western agricultural community.
Most of the farms are leased by white
men, as the Indian owners are not
vet sufficiently skilled in the white
mans methods to be a success as
| agriculturists. But these farms in
/ the valley of the Big Horn show that
/ the Crow reservation can be made to
/ blossom as the rose when once it is
dominated by the white mans touch.
For more than a year the govern

( the northern half of the Crow reser-

RoDe on injected District.

The sanitary policemen under the
direction of City Physician Hogeboom
have roped off the west side of Kan
sas avenue south of Seventeenth
street, the heart of the district where
smallpox has been so prevalent. The
order was given as a precautionary
measure to insure that passersby
would not become infected. The
houses are very close to the sidewalk
and because of the warm weather
windows and doors are left open, thus
allowing a free circulation Of infected
air. There are at the present time
about twenty cases of smallpox in the
city. The most virulent forms of the
disease are at I'LL Kansas avenue,
1892 Central avenue and 1716 Van
Buren,. At the present time the pest
h ouse is crowded to its fullest capacity
with four patients. With the excep-
ton of one all of these are light forms.
