ENGLISH ARTISTS NOT SAILORS.
For Them Tennis Is the Chief Recrea.
tion-LittIe Golf.

The number of English artists who
take to the sea as a pastime may prob
ably be numbered on the fingers of
one hand, and these for the most part
pursue maritime art as profession.
1t comes, therefore, as surprise to
hear of French artist, and especially
one with tastes apparently SO Partisan
as NJ. Paul Hellu, having from his
youth upward INDUCED a pastime
for sailing, and now in the hey
day of success flying the British flag
above an English built yacht, with
southampton as his headquarters.
II Is given to few artists to be able
to afford the expense Of vessel OF
considerable size, but M. Helleu just
now is basking in the sunshine of
prosperity and worldwide renown.
The story goes that he recently made
$4,000 francs from two etchingS that
only cost him two afternoons work.
In company with NJ. Sem he will prob
ably cross to Trouville and other
French watering places at the close
Of the Cowes and Ryer weeks.
British artists as rule affect lawn
tennis as a recreation in preference
to any other game. At this they at
tain level of excellence which they
as body appear unable to reach at
cricket, golf or football. Mr.. Abey,
R. A., for some years captained a
team of artists, and has even had a
cricket week at his country home,
but both these popular functions have,
We understand, been abandoned this
year. Tennis can, of course, be more
easily practiced, especially by those
artists so fortunate as to possess
large gardens, and Mr. Shannon, A. Il
A., even aspires to enter the lists OF
the premier tournament abroad, name
", Homburg, where he probably al
this moment is playing a lively game
on the courts wherein for many years
q very prominent figure was his Ole
neighbOr Van Prinsep.

those fiimsy. clinging sheath gown
which has attracted so much atten.
ton in the larger cities caused Juror
in Muncie-st this afternoon, and sub
sequently the arrest Of Miss Isabella
Turner, pretty young actress.
The garment had been shown in a
window display and the particulars
Of Miss Turner's trip had been given
considerable notoriety. The street In
which Miss Turner was to walk for
three blocks was packed and jammed
II was equal to circus crowd In a
country village; women jostling with
men and boys to get glimpse OF the
famous directoire. Several ministers
appealed to the police to prevent the
parade, but the superintendent said
he could not interfere.
However, Joe McCloskey, who was
recently fined for gaming. filed an af.
fidavit against the actress and the war
rant was served after the afternoon
performance at the Majestic theater,
where she is working with the EN-
pire Stock company.
McCloskey Is Disguised with the
city administration and says he has
as much right to play cards in pri-
vate room as a woman has to make a
show Of herself in public. The actress
was irate when she learned OF the ac-
ton and has retained lawyers.
Miss Turner will ask for jury trial,

convict a woman of indecency, for

INDIAN BATTLES REVIVED.

Some Historic Indian Conflicts.

Chief among the features in pro-
gram OF historic correctness and un-
common interest which will be fur
nished by Buffalo Bits Wild West
will be a reproduction OF The Battle
Of Summit Springs. The original con-
flict took place on July IL, 1869, near
the border line between Nebraska and
Colorado. Gen. f. A. Carr commanded
a detachment of U. S. Cavalry against
renegade band OF Sioux, Cheyenne
and Arapahoe Indians, known as Dog
Soldiers" Col. VIM. f. Cody ("Buf-
falo BillO was the chief OF scouts
with the government expedition and
1t was due to his trailing that the cav
airy came up with the Indians and
surprised them while In camp at Sum-
NIT Springs. In the battle which en-
sued Buffalo Bill shot and killed Tall
Bull, the leader OF the Dog Soldiers"
The victory which the government
forces gained over the Indians had
much to do with deciding the issue
against the red men In their hopeless
struggle against government control.
The battle at Summit Springs will be
faithfully depicted with Buffalo Bits
Wild West, Col. Cody enacting his orig
inal role. Gen. Carr. Gen. Hayes and
others I'm command with the u. 8.

death OF Tall Bull will be a realistic

SULTAN SEEKS PACT.
WITH THE KAISER
LETTERS EXCHANGED BETWEEN
RULERS SEEM TO INDICATE
SECRET ALLIANCE SOON.

CONSTANTINOPLE. July 30.-It Is
authoritatively affirmed here that
Kaiser Wilhelm and Sultan Abdul
Hamid are exchanging letters. No one
knows what the contents OF these 'pri'
yate" correspondence are, but IL IL
said that in September the German
emperor will pay visit to the Turk
ish ruler; and then secret alliance
will be formed.
The visit OF King Edward to the
car caused much uneasiness at the
Sublime Porte. The policy OF the sui
tan has been based upon the strained
relations long existing between Eng
land and Russia. Turkey could. there
fore, safely delay the reforms prom
Used for years Now the sultan sees
that the only way to strengthen his
policy is TO surrender 10 Germany,
which, no doubt, is the only power
today that can influence Turkey. Ever
since he dismissed Bismarck. William
III. has endeavored to make Germany
the greatest influential factor In Turk
ish affairs. which policy he has pur-
sued with praiseworthy constancy.
Certainly thus the kaiser has gained
a commanding influence. Other pow.
ers have vast Mohammedan SUBJECTS
Germany has none. In India, Afghan
istan, Caucasus, Morocco and Egypt -
in fine, wherever followers OF the
Prophet are TO be found--there the
Khalif WELD authority and the kaiser
can put forth influence.
Since Sultan Hamid assembled the
throne such crisis as We are witness
ing here today has never been known.
II is true there has always been some
trouble In the Ottoman empire. but
the feud was racial. Now the Turks
themselves are dissatisfied with their
ruler
Since last January, when an alliance
was formed between various Turkish
subjects 10 overthrow Hamid and es-
tablish a constitutional government in
Constantinople, a new movement has
started and has found its adherents
in the army and in the higher circle OF
officials. The Alliance of Ottoman
Subjects has circulated literature
among the soldiers all over the en-
.pire. the consequence OF which is
mutiny and instruction among the
soldiers in European Turkey and in
Anatolia.

Names Of Flowers.

1t is interesting to know how GER
tain flowers get their names. Many
were named after individuals. For
instance: Fuchsias were so called
because they were discovered by
Leonard Fuchs. Dahlias were named
for Andre Dahl. who brought them
from Peru. The camelia was SO call
ed for missionary named Kamel.
who brought some magnificent speci-
mems OF the flower to France from
Japan. He called ii the rose Of Jap
an, but his friends changed II to ca
melia. Magnolias were named in
honor of Prof. Magnol de Montpelier
who first brought the beautiful tree
TO France from America and Asia. Be-
cause they trembled with the wind is
the meaning of anemones. The Latin
word to wash Is lavare, and lavender
received It's name because the Ro-
mans put the flowers into water when
they washed, to perfume their hands.
