Democrats Expect Gains in Next House
 of Representatives.


 Washington Special to The Baltimore
 Sun.
 The Democratic and Republican cam paign committees are utterly at sea as to the result of the Congressional contest this year. The Republicans, because they have now large major ity to go on. are confident that they will retain control of the Houes. though by a greatly reduced majority. The Democrats claim they are going to capture the Houes. because reports from all quarters indicate untagonsm to the tariff stand-pat policy.
 The campaign appears to be lan- guishing. partly because of lack of funds and partly because at tention has been distracted from the :&,iai issues which promised to inf1u-

STATUE OF SAC4JAWEA.
Story of the Indian Maiden Who Piioe'

Moman'S Work.

Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, Of Oregon
City, Ore, wrote book on a very OLD
subject. but she treated it in another
way. This book, THE Conquest" was
the history of the Lewis and Clark ex-
petition, with which every school
child is familiar, but she brought out
a most refreshing incident showing
the invaluable services rendered tne
expedition by one woman.
A number of women of Portland,
Ore. banded together under the name
of the Woman's Club, felt in duty
bound to honor the memory OF that
one woman. Sacajawea. Mrs. Dye was
elected president of a Sacajawea
Statue Association. With woman's wit
they found various methods to acquire
the necessary $1,000 to erect the
statue. Even with all the money pro-
cured the association found Itself ID
uuandary until Mrs. Henry waldo
Coe through the generosity OF her
husband. came to the rescue with tne
copper for the casting. And this lat
! ter gift was by no means lnconslder.

And after all it was but fitting that

a fine flourish, the darkey took from the

toss of her head, covered it with her

that vast and rich country drained by
the Columbia River.
Sacaiawea, when but thirteen years
old. was stolen from her people-the
Shoshones-and became slave to the
Dakotas. They treated her well, how
ever. and at the age of eighteen they
sold her to French fur-trader, Char
boneau, who made her his wife, prom
ising that he would, in time, take her
to her own people. Shortly after this
the Lewis and Clark expedition, with
its motley band. came along, making
their winter quarters in that section
which is now the southern part OF the
Dakotas. The expedition needed a
guide, and Charboneau learning OF
this, told his wife that by guiding the
party she would have a chance to find
her own people. She offered her serv-
ices to the pioneers, which were &C.
cepted; Charboneau was hired as
cook.
During the winter, while the party
was making preparations for moving
forward next spring, Sacajawea gave
birth to boy baby; yet, not to be de-
lterred in her hope OF again being
united to her people, and with her
baby on her back, she led the party
over the rugged mountains to the head
waters of the Columbia.
Before reaching the end of the jour-
new the explorers came across the
tribe from which the Western heroine
had been stolen. Her own people en-
deavored to persuade her to remain
with them. Sacajawea had given her
word to guide the men to the Pacific
ocean and she was not to be swerved
from keeping her promise. This is
the story which Mrs. Dye has set forth
in "The Conquest" All through the
book is full OF little incidents OF the
bravery of the woman guide, how she
saved the band from humiliation at
the hands of an unfriendly Indian
tribe, the leader of whom was her
brother. Mrs. Dye brings out into the
light the story of Lewis and Clark
themselves, in which they give SAGA
jawea the credit for having saved their
lives and having made possible the
success Of their expedition.
And SO this country now gives recog-
milton to her services through the
agency of woman. A statue has been
erected to a woman through the aid
Of woman: Miss Alice Cooper, of Den

her woman friends procured the funds

tributed the necessary metal

RESPLENDENT DIPLOMATS.
Grand Display of Jewels at Presi'

Representatives

President Roosevelt's reception to the
dinlomatic corps, Thursday evening,
January 4th, was one of the most
brilliant functions the White House
has ever presented.
The foreign diplomats and their sec,
retaries and attaches, in ralnboW-hueu
attire, their breasts bedecked with
gold. silver, enameled and jeweued
grand crosses; their gold hilted SWORDS,
sashes, belts and gay colored ehap-

of chivalry's romantic age.
Courteous, yet dignifed. these repre-
entatives of knighthood's gallan-
ry and gentleness charmed the vast
assemblage with their speech and
manners.
French. by long usage, is their official
and social language. But many diplo-

the others of continental Europe.
The White House echoed the speech
of nearly all civilized nations. The
