which certainly converts the ordinary pho
tograph into an artistic triumph. ] have
not any doubt that the plates from which
these photographs were made alone must
have cost thousands Of pounds.
one special reason why the photos will
be more appreciated in England perhaps
than even in America is because the North
American Indian is more of a novelty to
US. These pictures and the descriptive mat
ter in Mr.. Curtis graphic language give
us an insight into Indian life which no other
book has done. OF course, the books will
not be on view so that they can be handled
by everybody who comes to the library,
but they can always be examined in the
special room provided for them by anyone
manifesting an interest in this class of re-
search"
Although the Morgan gift has been on
view only a day or two in London, quite a
number of distinguished savants have called
to inspect it. The librarian has deputized
two assistant clerks to show the books to
inquirers, and the array of photographs
in the long passage leading to the library
has already attracted considerable atten-
ton. All kinds of Indians from papooses to
full-grown braves are shown and every
phase of Indian life is pictured In a way
that only Morgan's millions could have
made possible.

MAN PROUD OF BEING HANGED
Bandit Gets Married Only Few
Hours Before His EXecu-
ton.

WARSAW, Oct. 31.-(Special .)-Ladislas
Gluszkowski, a young Polish bandit, tried
and sentenced to death in LODI, the chief
manufacturing town In Poland, surprised
the governor of the prison on the day be-
fore that fixed for the execution, a few
days ago, by asking that he might get mar
ried and have a photograph taken Of the
wedding party. After some hesitation both
requests were granted, a photographer was
sent for and a priest was asked to come
and perform the marriage ceremony. The
reason the bandit gave for wishing to
marry was that he had a son whom he was
DESTROYS of legalizing. The mother, a girl
of IS, seemed to think it better to be mar
RED to a man hanged for murder than not
married at all, and so the wedding took
place in the prison yard that day before
the execution.
Quite a large party was present. AnX-
ious to have an original mise-en-scene
G-luszkowski invited the jailor, stipulating
that he should pose for the photo with
his keys well i'm view. The altar, where
the marriage was solemnized, consisted Of
a table upon which the cross was placed
One prisoner, anxious to be photographed
at all costs, is looking out of the window.
After the group was taken, vodka and
sausages were handed round and the party
began to dance. The cheerful hook they all
wear proves that they were in the mood
for it. The murderer's child, in it's grand
mothers arms to the brides right. re-
manned with the guests till the soldiers told
them to go at midnight.
A couple of hours later G-luszkowski
walked laughingly up to the gallows-and
paid the penalty of his crimes. He refused
to see a priest and said that he did not re-
greet the murders he had committed. He
gave directions that all the money he had
should be given to his wife and child; but
hat all who took part in his wedding
should rave a copy of the Photograph be-
cause they were not likely to have another
such in a hurry.
The recipients were proud to get it and
several openly declared that they looked
upon Gluszkowski as a hero. "And what
if he did rob people" exclaimed one, 'aIl
of them We're richer than he and, if he
happened TO have TO kill a few, It was
their own faults; they ought to have given
up their money at once" These are the
Ideas that prevail amongst many of the So
called working classes i'm LODI. Having
been daily witnesses OF murder. plumber
and other crimes for the last four years,
they have grown callous to scenes OF vlo-
lence. The prison authorities affirm that
those they execute are quite Indifferent 70

reason why, though an average of fourteen

and murder are as rife as ever. Capital

different people OF from $4,000 to $4,000
within a week. The money goes as quickly
as it comes-in drinking and g~ambling-and
then the young ruffans set about for more.
They are so well armed and desperate that
they never wait till night comes to raid a
shop or a counting house. 1t is all done in
broad daylight and within earshot OF bar
racks and police stations, for, as Glusz-
kowski himself told a reporter, why
should we wait to work in the dark when
everybody else works by day? The night
is meant to drink and sleep-not TO work"
In general, the working classes in Poland
have changed their ideas since the last
revolution.

MORGAN AND THE GUILDHALL
American Financier Gives One of
COstIicst Books to
Library.

LONDON. oct. 3L-(Special.)-J. Pierpont
Morgan is much in evidence at the London
Guildhall just now. All down one side OF
the entrance leading to the great and his
toric library is lined with enormou photo
graphs labeled, Presented by Mr.. ]. Pier
pont Morgan At first glance an Ameri-
can wonders whether the Guildhall itself
has been presented to Mr.. Morgan, but on
close examination it appears that these
great photographs are taken from Mr.. Nor
gan's latest excursion into bookland, The
North American Indian" by +. S. Curtis.
II sounds like a contradiction i'm terms to
speak OF Mr.. Curtis book as being by
Mr.. Morgan, but the financier paid for the
research in getting up these great books
and afterwards paid for the special paper
and binding and very special Photographic
foliOs which accompany the books. With
out his aid it would have been impossible
for this extraordinary work to be produced
at all.
The writer had a chat with the Guildhan
librarian, e.. NJ. Barrajo, who seems, so to
speak, tickled to death that Mr., Morgan
should have paid this attention to the Guild
hall library.
I'VE cannot too fully appreciate Mr.. Nor
gan's generosity, % he said, I'm giving these
DOCKS 10 the Gullunall. IleN are so beauti-
fully done that they are. with perhaps the
single exception Of the volumes OF his
miniature collection, among the finest speci-
mems of the printers art i'm the world. The
number OF sets to be issued is limited
TO 500 and we have No. Z. 1 do not believe
that even the British museum has a set.
The Guildhall has always been especially
favored by Mr.. Morgan. anyway" continued
the librarian, FOR he presented us with his
catalogue Of miniatures-fQur extremely
handsome books. the costliest I'm the world
of the kind, l believe; also his catalogue Of
paintings In three volumes, and the cata-
logue of his early-printed books in three
volumes.
The present books will be twenty IN
number and they will be a complete record
of the North American Indian. The fact
that the photographs come in separate port
folios-that is, the larger pictures-is quite
an advantage from our point OF view, as
II enables us to add 10 our art collection.
We have decided to display fourteen Of
these pictures at a time until the full num-
Der has been exhibited. The photographers

EARLY HOME OF FRANKLIN
village of EctOn Full Of Interest for
Americana who Visit Old
COuntry.

LONDON, Oct. 31.-(Special.)-Few spots
in England have more American interest
than the little village of Ecton, in North
amptonshire, and particularly the church
yard in that quaint towE. 1t was here
that the forebearers OF Benjamin Franklin
were gathered to their fathers" and in
the little churchyard one may see today
many monument with the name of Frank
lin upon them. The father and mother Of
Franklin were born in the village and
when Franklin visited the place years
Afterwards he was able to Identify the
blacksmith's forge so well known TO his
parents. 1t was In this little village that
the Franklins lived their frugal lives and
here 1t was that the future signcr of the
Declaration OF Independence acquired the
habits of thrift which, perhaps, as much
as anything else. helped to frame his future
greatness. Throughout Ecton. I'm all sorts
of odd hooks and corners. ore comes upon
this name which contributed so largely to
the making of American history.
Indeed. the whole district is interesting
to Americans. for not far from Ecton is
the home OF the family of George WASH
ington, known as Sulgrave Manor. Ecton
and Sulgrave Manor are visited nowadays
by hosts of the descendants of the man
who is said to have said that he could not
tell a lie. Aside from the American inter-
est of Ecton, this village itself has been
immortalized by Hogarth, the great painter
il was he who painted the sign of the
Worlds End inn in this place. Nobody
knows today exactly what Hogarth's idea
OF the end OF the world could have been,
as a souvenir hunter many years ago added
this interesting sign to his collection and
ever since that time the Worlds End
inn has been without a sign.
Another curious relic of the village is the
ancient Stocks in which offenders OF
the day were set doubtless for the edifi-
cation of the younger generation Of those
times. Perhaps the stocks were the only
advertising medium in England before the
advent OF the modern newspaper.
Canon Arthur w. Jephson. who was a
member of the famous Mosely commission,
which toured 200 miles q America to

ward with the living OF the beautiful
church at Ecton. He is a great believer
in the American system and his report on
the commission strongly advocated the
adoption OF American methods. Canon
Jephson, who has many friends all over
the United States. hopes 20 rebuild his
church with American money. He points
out that this church n referred TO in

Franklin appears frequently on the register
As Americans seem TO have a hobby fol

those associated with their own country
