SCIENTIST STARTS FOR HOME OF
WHITE INDIANS

fore Penetrated by White
Man.

1t is the unknown which we want to
know; it is the unexplored that en-
courages long and daring journeys.
As long as there is a corner Of the
earth where the white man has not
set his foot so long will the adven-
turous explorer seek to penetrate.
There are unknown regions around
the headwaters of the Orinoco river
in South America, and it is thither
that an American scientist, DR.. Ham
ilton Rice, of Boston, is turning his
footsteps.
| Dr. Rice. who is a Fellow Of the
Royal Geographical society of London
and also of the Societe de Geographic
of Paris, is well known in the scien-
tifc world and has had considerable
experience in South American explor-
alton. In 1901 he crossed the CONT
nent from Guayaquil to Para, going
from Quito over the Cordilleras, and,
tramping for two weeks through an
almost impenetrable region of morass-
es and swamps with a party consist
ing only of eight Indians and negro
to Archidona, small Indian village,
he descended the Napo river to the
Amazon.
Two Indian crews in turn deserted
him before he had gone far on the
great river and he had to make the
remainder of the trip to the mouth
with only the negro for company. The
route he followed was the one taken
by Pizarro and Oreallana in search
of the tabled land of Cinnamon, when
lOreallana discovered the Amazon
and Pizarro, after fearful privationS
succeeded in reaching Quito with
fewer than % men out of force that

it be transported bodily to American
soil
So concerned was the titled English
man over the matter that he recently |
made trip to Glasgow and in a pas
sionate appeal urged Scotland to pre-
serve the old bridge for the sake of its |
association with the name of the poet |
Burns. He charged that the Scots
we're open to the charge of cant, a
thing that Burns hated when they
honored and revered his memory and
could not raise $50, 900 to preserve its
most cherished associations.
All this presents an interesting and
new phase of the American terror in
Europe and the British Isles. Even
their old bridges they feel are not safe
TO them. There is touch of humor
to the American reader at least in
| the substance OF Lord ROsebery's ap-
peal as reported in the Mancheste:
Guardian.
He said he had come to Glasgow in
many different characters, but he
never before came in the character
of what the poet whom they were
| thinking of that day would have called
a jolly beggar.' He was jolly beg
| gar that day at least as jolly as he
could be under the circumstances, be-
not very congenial to him, from want
of practice. He had begged in Edin-
| burgh; he appealed to the old 'Chuckie
Reekie' as Burns called Edinburgh,
and he hoped the old 'chuckie was go
ing to lay some eggs. If she were
slothful the Cock of the West would
| be down, and would rival, and more
than rival, all her efforts 1t was no
| secret that what he was asking from
them that day was a certain sum Of
money to be got within a very limited
time, to save what was not merely the
subject of one of Burns famous
poems, but was also an object of ma
tional and antiquarian interest.
HE regarded it as absolutely neces-
sary to save the Aud Brig. Other
wise, supposing they failed to find the
money, they might have the Aud Brig
purchased by some great American
multi-millionaire, who would have all
the stones numbered and have them
again built together in his back yard
at Chicago. If they did not save the
Aud Brig-if he could embark on such
hypothesis as that-he would wish
that that should be its fate. That act,
in the New World, would be an
eternal reproach to Old Scotland. The
real feeling he had at heart in this
matter was to avert that stain from
Scotland and from the Scottish es-
cutcheon, which he thought would be
absolutely indeible. They had not
many monuments in Scotland. Their
principal stone monument was the
coronation chair in England-the
Stone OF Destiny. but after all the
Stone of Destiny was only stone. 1t
was associated. no doubt, with many
tragic and interesting traditions, but
he was not sure that in itself it was
so interesting as this Aud Brig Of |

A "RoIand For an oliver

The common phrase to give a ''Ro
land for an Oliver" owes its origin to
the romancers of the middle ages.
Roland and Oliver were real persons,
the two most famous of the ~ peers
who surrounded Charlemagne.
Their exploits were represented in
such an exaggerated and ridiculous
fashion by the old romancers that
the two names became synonyms for
eXtravagant tales Finally the ex-
preston arose of giving one a "Ro.
land for his oliver" to signify the
matching of one incredible lie with
another-Sunday Magazine

SCOTS URGED TO SAVE IT FROM

Lord Rosebery Fears That Million

Up and Transport His
torie Bridge.

The American millionaire has come
to be known in Europe as the con-
noisseur of everything which is old
and rare, and his money has not only
bought many a priceless art treasure
but entire castles as well which his
energy has torn down. shipped across
the ocean and reared again on Amer
lean soil. This has led the European
to realize that nothing is sacred to the
European that an American with push
and gold may covet.
The latest object Of concern to the
Britisher is the AUD Brig Of Ayr
which Lord Rosebery is urging the
Scotch to purchase and hold lest 1t

of the Andean chain, following the
famous march of Simon Bolivar
From Bogota," said DR.. Rice, "a
shall work by mules, if possible, as far
as / can get toward the headwaters
of the Vaupes river. If l cannot get
all the way with mules, l shall try
transportation by Indians.
Beyond the existence of this river,
all other information is vague The
Indians on either bank are supposed
to be hostile, but the ethnology is
absolutely unknown. The country will
be mapped and various observations
taken.
The idea is to work down the river
and eventually reach the Rio Negro,
down which a descent will be made
to the Rio Casiquiare, which is nat
ural channel linking the waters of the
Orinoco with those OF the Amazon.
Thence l hope to follow the upper
Orinoco to its headwaters which rise
somewhere in the Sierra Parma
mountains, in the northwestern part of
Brazil. This is the region of the
White Indians, so-called, the Guahir-
ibos and the Curaranas.
From the time of the Spanish ex-
plorers and missionaries there has
been supposed to exist in that coun-
try a great lake. which Indians com
ing from the region describe as a
sweet water sea- Some geographers
deny the existence of this, but Pedro
and Alexandra Ducharne, two brothers
famous as soldiers. travellers and ex-
plorers of Venezuela, firmly believe in
its existence, owing to what they have
been told by Indians and traders.
Perhaps this lake has some connection
with the rivers of the Amazon sys-
tenn, as well as those of the Orinoco.
Anyhow, one of the objects will be to
determine its existence and precisely
where the Orinoco derives its source,
"A descent will be made, If possible,
from the headwaters of The Orinoco
down one of the ahluents Of the Rio
Negro into the Amazon.
Il hope eventually to reach the
mouth of the Amazon, otherwise |
shall make for the mouth OF the ORR

or more shall have very small
party with me, consisting of two
negroes and as few Indians as can

JOHN MITCHELL SELF-MADE.

John Mitchell, president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
was born in Braidwood, ILL.,, Febru-
ary 4, 1869. He is essentially self
made man. He was left an orphan at
an early age, his mother having died
when he was years old, and his
father being accidentally killed when
he was years. At l3 the boy was
compelled to enter the mines at
BraidwooI and work for his living.
He stayed there three years and
tier went to Colorado. He worked
i'm the mines of Colorado until 1883,
when he returned to his native state.
But he did not remain long, in
short time returning to the west, this
time to New Mexico. In 1891 he re-
turned to Illinois, which state he has
made his home ever since. He studied
law by night, read on economic ques-
tons. and gathered information on
questions of organization by connec-
ton with organized labor from l6
years of age.
He was ecretary-treasurer OF a
sub district of the United Mine Work
ers of America in 1895, and rose
steadily to the position of president
which he attained in 1899, and mas
held since that year. Since 1898 Mr.
itchell has been one of the vice pres
dents of the American Federation OF
Labor,

TOWARD PURE DEMOCRACY.

Recognition of the principle of pure
democracy is continually coming to
the surface, sometimes in the most
unexpected places and under the
mcst unfavorable conditions. The
latest illustration of this is seen in
Senator Davey's resolution to bring
about the election of speaker Of the
house and president of the senate by
popular vote. The fact that the
measure was killed by the house does
not indicate any general tendency to-
ward reaction or conservatism on the
part OF anybody at all except the
house members, and because they
were not chosen on that or any core
lated issue, their refusal to endorse
the plan has no significance at all.
The Salem Daily Statesman briefly
but pertinently refers to the subject
as follows:
THE house killed the joint resolu-
ton offered by Speaker Davey look
ing to the election of a speaker and
a president OF the senate from the
state at large. That is all right, but
the idea is not dead, gentlemen. II
will come up again and the more
people look into the matter the more
popular 1t will become"

PURITY OF THE STAGE.

The Rocky Mountain News says OF
tho need of a higher moral tone on
the American stage:
Last fall play was drawing crowd
ed houses at one Of our theaters. lts
heroine was a young harridan, sup
posed to be IN actress at a cheap
French theater. Its hero was q
young English nobleman, who, leaV-
ing a wife of six months standing In
Paris. falls crazily in love with the
painted termagant in the title role.
There is nothing natural about the
play, nothing inspiring. nothing In
which normal beings outside of thea
ter hours will admit having an in
terest In. The h4ro was an ass, the
hero a vixen, the whole play SO full
Of crass suggestiveress and raw In
decency that the writer left before the
end of the second act, feeling as II he
needed an antlscptic bath and fumi-
cation. .,
Yet there sat sober men Of so, with
their wives and daughters; there sal
clean run young men and women

JEWISH OPPOSITION TO ZIoNIsNi

All was not harmony in the recent
Zionist congress at Basic, Switzerland.
Naturally Il majority of the 764 dele
gates, more than half of whom came
from Russia, favored the project of
Jewish state in Palestine, to which
might be gathered the Hebrews of
the world. But in opposition to this
re mantic and dramatic ideal, more
than one strong voice was raised
questioning the practicability and
even the possibility of the un-
dertakng 1t is conceded that Zion
ism .s beautiful dream, but whether
it can or should be built into reality
is disputed among Jewish leaders in
almost every country; and it may well
| be questioned whether this or any
| later age will ever see a king in Ju-
| dah or a state established with Jeru-
salem it's capital.
Especially significant on this sub
| ject was the protest uttered at the
Eas!c congress by George w. Ochs,
proprietor of the Philadelphia Ledger.
As an American Hebrew, Mr.. Ochs
smoke for men of his race who have
found golden opportunity awaiting
them in this country and who value
American citizenship above anything
that Jewish nationality in arid Pales-
tine could offer. He declared Zion
ism an obstacle to the Americaniza-
tion Of Hebrews living here, and en-
pbasized the desirability of their be-
ing merged into the mass of Ameri-
can population and maintaining 10y

Paying his compliments to Hionism
as playing into the hands of Jew
baiters, Mr.. Ochs said:

NEXT.

The late Ex-Governor Robinson
used to tell a story in which he ac-
knowledged that the only witness who
ever made him throw up his hands
and leave the court room was a green
Irishman.
Mr.. Robinson, at the time, was
counsel for one of the big railroads
A section hand had been killed by
an express train and his widow was
suing for damages. The railroad had
a good case, but Mr.. Robinson made
the mistake of trying to turn the
main witness inside out.
The witness, in his quaint way, had
given a graphic description of the ia
tality, occasionally shedding tears and
calling on the saints. Among other
things, he swore positively the loco
motive whistle was not sounded until
after the whole train had passed over
his departed friend. Then Mr.. Rob-
inson thought he had him.
"See here, Mr.. McGinnis," said Mr..
Robinson, ''you admit that the whis-
tie blew"
Eyes, sor, it blew, sor."
"Now If that whistle sounded in
time to give Michael warning. the
fact would be in favor cf the COM
pany, wouldn't it,"
Eyes, sor, and Mike would be tes-
tifying here this day." The jury gig
gled.
Never mind that. You were Mikes
friend and you would like to help hi:
widow, but just tell me now wha'
earthly purpose there could he fol
the engineer to blow that whistle
after Mike had been struck"

Mr. Robinson retired, and tn
widow got all she asked for.-Bos
