THE FOUR CONTINENTS.
Handsome Groups of Sculpture Which
Adorn New York Custom House.

New York-The new custom house.
which is being erected on Battery
park, IN this city, is adorned with four
groups of sculpture by Daniel Chester
French, representing the continents Of
Europe, Asia, Africa and America.
The groups are carved of American
marble from the quarries of Tennes-
see. and the sculptor, who was born
in Exeter, N. H, in 1850, is more dis
tinctly American in his work than
any of our other living sculptors. He
was largely self-educated, and did not
study in Europe until after he had
made his reputation in this country
by his Minute Man." which he de-
signed for the town of Concord In
1873.
The four groups of the continents
presented are characterized equally by

laurel crown on 1t and porting over a
scroll, while at her feet is a pile OF
the crowns of the nations which are
passed.
The fourth of the groups represents
Asia, the mysterious mother of all
great religions of the world. with the
passive and inscrutable face of the far
east. In her lap Is the image OF
Buddha. the Light of Asia, and over
her right shoulder shines the radiant
cross of Christianity. Her right hand
holds the Sacred Lotus, around which
is wreathed a serpent and from her
lap falls scroll on which is pictured
the Buddhist Wheel Of Life. Her
footstool rests upon the skulls Of men.
IA suggestion from one of the legends
of Buddha, which relates that when
some one brought him a skull and re-
marked that he had found It on one
of the surrounding hills, Buddha an
swered, "All Asia is made up OF the
bones of previous incarnations." The
Asiatic tiger rounds off the group un-

holiness and effectiveness of outline,

America is represented by figure
full of activity, looking steadfastly
forward, alert and ready for action,
seated upon rock with the torch of
Liberty in her right hand and the
American eagle by her side. Behind
her, looking over the rock, stands an
Indian, sheaf of Indian corn lies
across her zap, and under her feet
is the head of Mexican feathered
serpent, the symbol of the Aztec sun
god, Quetzalcohuatl. Her cloak fall
ing from her shoulders is caught in
her left hand and held protectingly
over the figure of Progress, who,
bending low, is setting a winged wheel
in motion, and holds in his left hand
a magnet and a prism, symbolic OF

In marked contrast to the alert atti-
tude of America is the sleeping fig re
of Africa. Like the others, this fig
ure is not an chronological portrait
but has suggestion of the negro in

clining figure of the dark continent is
supported on the one side by the

RUINS OF FIRST KANSAS CAPITOL

RUINS OF FIRST KANSAS CAPITOL
understood beforehand that the legis-
lature should adjourn and meet at
Shawnee Mission, two miles from
Westport, and the plan was soon put
into execution. Every man, with the
possible exception of two, was bitterly
opposed to Reeder, and ON July 4 a
member made a speech about as fol-
lows: I'VE are about to declare the
acts of Gov. Reeder an usurpation. 1t
will be proud event for Kansas-the
expelling of the free-state delegates
from this body. Kansas is slave
territory and it should always remain
so. We have the power in our hands,
and as long as we live we will keep
and exert that power. Kansas is sa-
cred to slavery" Nothing outside of
organization was accomplished, and on
July the legislature adjourned to
meet at Shawnee Mission.
The town of Pawnee suffered an I'M
timely fate in August of the same
year. The lines of the military reser-
walton were changed and Pawnee was
included within its limits. The people
were given until October to remove
their property and those who believed
that the government was "blufhng"
and failed to move, experienced the un-
pleasant situation of having their
houses torn down over their heads.
The old capitol, however, was pre-,
served, although no one seems to know
why it die not share the fate Of the
sther buildings.
OF late years movement has been
on foot to persuade congress to cede
the old building to the state Of Kan
sas, but nothing definitely has been
accomplished. The establishment Of
the army maneuvers at Fort Riley
four years ago, brought up the agita-
ton that Kansas ought to repair the
4 old building and use II as a sort Of
. supply depot for her militia. How
ever. since congress has decided on
Fort Sill as a permanent military
rendezvous, such step would be out
Of the question. The first capitol OF
Kansas seems doomed to crumble into
Euins.

tiger hunting, therefore, he locks first
OF all to his own safety. Having
learned that tiger rarely looks up
ward, he seeks a position at some dis
lance from the ground, as, for in-
stance, the howdah of an elephant, or
a machan, or leaf-covered box, perched
in tree.
The tiger usually keeps it's eyes
On the ground because 1t finds its
prey there and its enemies also. The
natural inhabitants of the trees, the
birds and the monkeys, it holds in con-
tempt. But on the ground, besides
the sweet-feshed man, lives the water
buffalo its most formidable foe. In
combat the buffalo most times kills
the tiger.
The peculiar sagacity of the ele-
plant is of great assistance to the
man who hunts tigers from the how
dab. At the approach of the big cat
the pachyderm trumpets an alarm, and
If properly trained, it will snatch it's
master with its trunk, should he be on
the ground, and lift him into the how
dab on it's back. 1t then seeks the
shadow of some tree and stands per-
fectly still, as If knowing that in this
way it will steady the hunters aim.
When enc shoots from the machan,
or tree ambush, he usually picks a
place where the beast is wont to re-
treat when alarmed. With a compan-
ion he hides himself in his nest. In
his hand he holds a magazine rife
loaded and cooked, while In his belt
he carries a half dozen pistols for in
slant use should the gun fail him.
Then he sends out score OF more of
natives as beaters to drive the beast
toward him. Encircling the region,
the heaters begin to rap on the trees
and to shout, and these noises, because
of their strangeness brighten the ami
NAL.

KANSAS CAPITOL
HISTORIC BUILDING NEAR Fopr
RILEY FALLING INTO RUNE
Was Meeting Place Of Gov. Reeder,s
Territorial Legislature-Town Of
Pawnee Turned Into Mill
tary Reservation.

Kansas City.-Two miles east NJ
Eort riley on the north bank OF the
Kansas river, is an Gid stone buildins
whose crumbling walls echoed to tbf
hrst meeting of the Kansas territorial
legislature. The Union Pacific rail
way passes within a few feet of tbe
old structure and the Overland lin.
ited' glides by at the rate of so miles
sn hour. The residents of the com.
munity tell with great pride that the
building was the first capitol of
Kansas"
In 1854 Kansas was organized as .
territory, and in June of the same year
Gov. Reeder arrived to assume the
duties of his Office. Fort Riley had
been established in 1852 and Reeder
conceived the idea that the territorial
capitol should be located in the vi.
c1nity of thte federal post
. whether he thought such location
would be benefited by its proximity to
the military post is not known, but at
any rate the prc>slavery men did not
take kindly to the idea of travelling
loo miles to Pawnee, as the new CITY
was named. Besides, the town was a
free-state settlement and the distance
from Missouri rather discouraged any
assistance from that state in time of
trouble.
Pawnee had been founded by party
OF Pennsylvanians. At that time the
Kaw was supposed to be navigable as
far as Fort Riley, and the settlers
were not impressed by the unfavorable
location of their city. Gov. Reeder
was, no doubt, personally interested in
the location of the territorial capital
at Pawnee, since he was member of
the Pawnee Town association and
owned several acres of land in the vi
cinity. Gen. Lyon, the hero of Will
son creek, was then a captain at Fort
Riley and had also invAted in the
Pawnee association.
Probably II substantial buildings
had been erected at the time of the
meeting of the legislature The bluffs
OF the river valley furnished excellent
building stone, and the lumber had
been hauled from Kansas City by
way of the Santa Fe and Mormon
trails to Fort Riley. Practically all of
~the legislators came from the eastern
section of the territory, and two or
three days were consumed in making
the trip.
July 2 the legislature met in the
stone capitol-tfe senate on the second
