The large collection of paintings,
etchings and Autographs by Whistler
which an American admirer has made
will be installed in Washington as soon
as a fireproof building for their recep-
tion can be erected. The regents Of the
Smithsonian institution have accepted
them on the conditions laid down by
their owner. One Of the conditions is
that the famous peacock room shall be
reproduced. 1t will be recalled that
Whistler was engaged to decorate
room for a wealthy Englishman, and,
without consulting the owner as to the
design, he covered the walls, the ceiling
and even the wooden blinds Of the win
dows with peacOcIs and peacock feath-
ers, painted in gorgeous purples and
browns and green's and gold. He
thought there should be a painting Of
a different. type over the mantel, 80 he
painted a figure of woman in Japa-
nese costume standing near an oriental
screen. This painting, which is one Of
the great modern masterpieces, will be
put in its proper place along with the
other decorations Of the room. They
were all removed some years ago and
brought to this country.

NosoDYs CHILDREN.
Or. Rarnardo's Work In London Ana
It's Americas Counterpart.

Dr. Barnardo's Work In London Ana
Its Americas Counterpart.
The death IN London of DR.. Thomas
John Barnardo. the "foster father OF
nobody's children" just now calls un-
usual attention to the change in the
methods Of dealing with the youthful
unfortunates Of the slums. DR.. Barnar-
do. more possibly than all other work
ers in the same cause put together, was
instrumental in stemmlng the tide OF
invepile delinquency that in the middle
Of the last century seemed seriously to
menace civilized society, and that pre-
sents the most pitiful pictures in the
whole long heartrending history OF
criminolOgy.
The work which this great and good
Englishman did in London has been ac-
complIshed in this country largely
through the agency Of societies and in
stitutions. The first American society
for the reclamation Of slum children
was organized in 1882. Now there are
IN New York alone fifty institutions
devoted to bettering in one way or an
other the condition Of the cfty's less
fortunate boys and girls. OF these the
New York Juvenile asylum, which has
grown to be one Of the foremost in
stitutions of its kind on either side Of
tbe Atlantic. started four years before
Dr. Barnardo began his life work in
the metropolis of Great Britain.
Since that period. when the chief OF
nolice in New York estimated that
there were 10000 homeless though not
necessarily criminal children roaming
the streets of the city, juvenile delin-
uuency has decreased steadily and very
rlpidly in relation to the growth Of
noDrlation in both cities. Thousands
mon thousands Of neglected young
sters have been cared for and reclaim
ed DR.. Barnardo having established
nearly thirty separate institutions,
while the New York organization in a
single group of buildings has cared for
more than 10000 boys and girls who
had no other fit guardians.
What the saving has been to the
community not alone in moral obliqui-
ty. but as well in the decrease in cost
Of penal institutions, can be under
stood in a way when one realizes that
though every one of these little waits
had wrong start in life certainly
more than 70 per cent Of them were
made into honest, successful citizens.
This is a large interest in dollars and
cents upon the private benefactions by
which such efforts as the asylums are
necessarily supported. More impor-
tant than that even is the step for
ward in humanity and brotherly love
from the day, less than a hundred
years ago, when two boys under the
age of fifteen were hanged before a
gaping crowd in London for petty
thtevery.

one Of the most interesting Of the
rulers who greeted the Prince and
Princess Of Wales on their arrival in
India was the begun of Bhopal, for it
seems at first sight a curious incongrui-
ty that a Mohammedan state should be
ruled by a woman. Bhopal is the only
state in The world where the ruler
must always be a woman, and the
present begun has done great deal
to vindicate the principle as one Of
practical advantage In former days
fhe husbands of the begums occupied
a most curiously unimportant position

INDIAN RELICS.
Every white Man of Gold see<ers'
Party Killed.

Every White Man OF NoA~
Party Killed.
An old rusty gun barrel and collec-
ton of arrowheads recently presented
20 Oliver c. Hinkle by Charles Gibson
The well known Indian writer and phil
usoDher of Eufaula, are said to be the
relics Of a fierce battle many years ago
between a party Of gold seekers and
WyandOtte Indians on the banks Of the
Canadian river near Eufaula, l. T., in
which all the white men were killed.
some time between the years 1900
and 1854 a party of ifty-four Mexican
and Spanish adventurers, accompanied
nv a guide, left New Orleans in search
OF gold. They had heard that the coun-
Try about the Canadian river was rich
IN precious metal. It was then name
sess wilderness inhabited only by row
ing bands Of savage Indians, 1t being
several years before the five civilized
tribes went to the Indian Territory.
After long journey, overcoming
many difficulties and losing one OF their
comrades by sickness, the party sue
.ceeded in establishing a camp in the
bl!g northwest Of the present site OF
Eufaula.
The gold seekers Kept a close watch
for Indians, but one morning just be-
fore dawn they were surprised by a
band of Shawnees. The battle RACED
for several hours. A number of the
white men were slightly wounded.
They finally succeeded, however, in de-
feating the Indians, who retreated,
leaving many dead and wounded on
the field. After the fight the adven-
turers held a council and decided to
give up their search for yellow treas
ure and return to their homes in the
southland.
This decision reached, the members
OF the party at once set about to con-
struct a huge raft upon which the en-
tire party might float downstream.
When the raft was completed they all
stepped upon it and showed 1t out into
the current Of the river.
They had hardly reached the center
when they were greeted with a series
OF blood curdling war whoops, and, look
ing to either bank, they saw redskins
emerging from behind every tree and
clump of bushes. The timber seemed
TO be alive with savages. The first
shower of arrows killed several of the
white men, who met the attack by US
ing their crude firearms. Owing to
their crowded position on the raft the
gold seekers were at great disadvan-
fage, as they were unable to get under
cover.
Soon the raft drifted to one Of the
banks. where the Indians swarmed
down upon the white men, soon exter-
minating the party.
During the last few months numer-
GUS evidences or this battle have been
found, many skulls and human bones
having been plOwed up by farmers.
A number of antiquated firearms and
cutlasses have also been unearthed at
the place, the gun now in the posses
sion Of Mr.. Rinkle being one Of them.
It is believed that the bed Of the Ca
madam river once flowed through the
Dlace where these relics were found
and that the river has since changed
its course, leaving the silent but elo-
.0uent reminders of the fate of the un-
fortunate gold hunters.-Kansas City
journal.

There appears to be some misunder-
standing regarding the time stock can
run at large. The 1905 codes, section
1888. says that stock may run at large
between the 1st of December and April
1st. 1t had been generally understood
that the open season was from Nov. I
to April I. but the new law certainly
says Dec. to Apr. L.

each light, while the foot lights were
covered with tissue paper pumpkins,
representing faces. The program was
a huge paper pumpkin. engraved with
the order of dances. The ball was
largely attended, probably one hundred

music was furnished by the Davis

seekers gave quite an impetus to it's growth. The town was incorporated in April, 1850. and the first common council elected proceeded with diligence to plunder the city treasury. The same year the state was admitted te the Union, and when the steamer Ore. gon brought the news-t there was nc telegraphic communication in those days business was entirely suspended and the entire population rushed to the wharfs to welcome the harbinger The town had about 10000 inhabitants at that time, and when the people were informed that the signal flags of the Oregon indicated that California was a sovereign state of the United States of America "a universal shout arose from 10000 voices on the wharfs, in the streets, upon the hills, housetops and the world of shipping in the bay"
 Tn it's early history the city suffered from several disastrous fires. Between December, 1S49, and June, 1851, six confiagrations played havoc with the growing young town. Better buildings were planned and several fire compa- nies were organized. These were steps in the right direction. It was also dis covered that the fires were started by criminals who profted by the confu- sion.
 This fact and the ineficiency and corruption of the city government led a large number of citizens to organ ize the famous vigilance committee which ruled the place in 1851. Quite number of crooks were lynched by the committee, others were driven out,
