STATUE OF SACAJAWEA.
Story of the Indian Maiden Who Pilot
ed Lewis and CIark-Result Of
Moman's Work.

Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, Of Oregon
City, Ore, wrote a 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
most refreshing incident showing
the invaluable services rendered the
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 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 in
a quandary until Mrs. Henry Waldo
Coe, through the generosity of her
husband, came to the rescue with the
copper for the casting. And this lat,
ter gift was by no means inconsider.
able, for it means nearly ten tons OF
pure copper, not to speak Of the ex-
penses for smelling and shipping the
ore across the continent.
And after all it was but fitting that,
this statue should be erected, for had 1t
not been for Sacajawea. the Lewis and
Clark expedition would never have
lived to bring under the American flag

Paris Statue Of Franklin.

The two hundredth anniversary Of
the birth Of BENJAMIN Franklin on the
18th OF January has brought to light
the regard with which that philosopher
and statesman is esteemed, not only by
Americans, but by foreigners as well.
The memory Of Franklin, as first min
lister Of the United States to France, is
much revered in the capital of that
country, and it is quite fitting that the
first statue to him in foreign cline
should be unveiled in Paris.
AS early as May % last Mr.. John H.
Harjes, at present the resident men,
Der in Paris of the firm Of Morgan, Har.
jes & Co., formulated an offer to Paris
officials of a bronze statue of Franklin.
While it was originally intended that

RESPLENDENT DIPLOMATS.
Grand Display of Jewels at Presi-
dents Reception to Foreign
Representative

President Roosevelt's reception to the
diplomatic 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 rainbow-hued
attire, their breasts bedecked with
gold, silver, enameled and jewelled
grand crosses; their gold hilted swords,
sashes, belts and gay colored chap
eau, were respondent living pictures
Of chivalry's romantic age.
Courteous, yet dignified, 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-
mats speak all the Latin tongues and
the others Of continental Europe.
The White House echoed the speech
Of nearly all civilized nations. The
corps unfailing apprecia-
ton Of the ladies, their clever bon
Charlevoix county herald., 1906-01-13

mots, brilliant repartee and strong,
often amusing accent, appeal to the
fair sex and make their society much
sought.
Social intrigue was exhausted in the
efforts to secure Invitations to this
never-to-be-forgotten reception.
Ambitious mothers with eligible
daughters were especially eager to
have their fair ones adorn the galaxy
Of beautiful women and gallant men.
The beauty and brilliancy Of the dip
lomats' gold and jewelled grand crosses
Is. best seen at this reception. Here
are given illustrations of some of the
decora tons which delighted the eyes
Of President Roosevelt's guests.
The Order of ST. Stanislaus.
The newly appointed Russian AM
bassador, Baron Rosen, was decorated
with the famous Polish Order Of st.
Stanislaus, founded in 1765 in honor Of
Poland's patron saint by Stanislaus
Augustus Peniatowski. In 1916 EN-
peror Alexander confirmed the order,
and Tsar Nicholas, in 1881, united it
with the Russian orders. Russian
priests are excluded from the order
1t is one Of the few to which q pension
is attached, which does not detract
from its popularity.
The order decorates Russa's most
distinguished soldiers and statesmen,

Conferred Upon Admiral Walker.

This order was instituted by that
country's Congress in 1926, and is the
only South American chivalric order.
1t was conferred on Rear Admiral
John G Walker, late Of the Panama
Canal Commission. Venezuela's crest
and a vignette Of the great Liberia tor
ornaments the centre with the motto
"Libertad."
Honduras, only order is "Santa
Rosa" created by her Congress- in
1865 to commemorate the regeneration
of Honduras
"The Order Of Glory" founded by
Achmed Bey, of Tunis, in 1887, is be-
slowed by France for distinguished
valor and patriotism. 1t adorned sew
eral of the attaches. A beautiful relic
Of Spanish judicial distinction is seen
in the two raised shields on the cross
representing the scales Of Justice and
Spain's coat of arms, surmounted. by
her crown. 1t is worn by that coun-
try's great jurists, one of whom was
present at the diploma tic reception.
The orders of Europe, Asia, Africa
and South America date from the
earliest days of knighthood to the
present time. They are beautifully
hand wrought in solid gold, silver,
jewels and enamels.
The coats of arms, sovereign crests
and notices of the respective countries
are inscribed upon the crosses. The
decorations, made chiefly in paris.
Vienna and Berlin, are rarely seen in
this country except at the reception OF
the President and on occasions when
the diplomatic. corps are officially
present at state functions. The aver.
age diameter Of the grand crosses seen
in this article is three to four inches
and their weight from two to four
ounces. The regal splendor Of the dip
lomats, taken as whole, adorned with
these brilliant decorations on uniforms
Of gold and silver braid and buttons
was beyond words, paling into insig-
pificance the modest attire of our own
democratic official "full dress" attire.

come from the citizens of Philadelphia,
this plan made little progress end 1t
was soon abandoned, so that the statue
is the bounty of this firm.
The statue is a replica of the one
now standing in front of the Philadel-
phia post-office, the only difference be-
ing in the size of the pedestal support
ing the figure. Although there was
but a short time in which to construct
the bronze figure, there was no delay
in casting and forwarding the figure to
Paris in time for the dedication On the
anniversary.
The original Franklin statue In
Philadelphia was a gift to the city by
Justus G. Strawbridge, at cost of
$4,000.
