NEW BUST OF WASHINGTON
American Bidders Lose Opportunity
to Get Relic of
Father of Country.

LONDON, Jan. 2.-(SpeciaL)-Collectors
will be interested in the recent discovery
in London of a remarkable bust of George
Washington. 1t is very doubtful II there
exists a similar work, taken at the same
time OF life. and experts consider the
find" as throwing a new light on an in
teresting period of the career of the
Father OF His Country"
Most OF the statues made OF Washington
show him at an advanced age, when fame
had crowned him with military and civic
glory, but this new work depicts him in
the formative stage OF life-a young man
Just entering on his career.
This bust was put up for sale recently
at Sotheby's auction rooms and sold for
$50. American buyers did not attend the
sale in large numbers. as they were more
interested. apparently. in the sale Of Lord
Amherst's great library. The consequence
was that an English ~dealer-Rochelle
Thomas-acquired a treasure which should
have been bought by Americans who go in
for collecting Washington relics. Mr..
Thomas considers the bust a very fine spe-
eimen OF French bronze work. the artists
name being Fournier. It seems quite prob
able that the work was done in America,
though how It came to Europe is not, at
present. known. Washington is shown in
the uniform OF a general. and the work rep
resents him at a period corresponding with
the second year of his leadership Of the
American army. The uniform is so mod
elled as to indicate active wear: while the
top button OF his single-breasted vest Is
Enthusiastically open. The expression or
the face is one of calm mastery. One OF
the curious features connected with thi.
work is that Washington is shown wearing
a pigtair'-that is. the braided wig Of the
period.

history makers have recently found thei

Nicholas Tchaykovsky Tells the Story of His Imprisonment

Nicholas ~Tchaykovsky, the Russian pa
triot, is well remembered in Omaha, where
he lectured a little over a year ago. He
was arrested and cast into prison several
months ago on charges preferred by the
Russian government, and has but recently
been released on bail of $1,000 roubles. His
case has excited the greatest interest in
both England and America, and leading
men and women of both countries have
petitioned the cars government to either
give him a trial or liberate him. His bail
was raised largely in London and New
York. The following story of his life in
prison was written for the New York In
dependent:
It is only natural that my personal
friends in America, as well as the friends
Of my country generally, are eager to hear
at least a few words from me, and 1 feel
bound to respond. 1 thoroughly understand
the state of their minds. They are like
friendly bystanders standing on the sea-
coast watching a terrible storm which has
seized a frail boat with its single-handed
rover. SO many valuable lives, so many
dear souls, have already persisted on this
fatal spot-their gaze is riveted on the
misty foam where the conflict between an
individual human spirit and the blind forces
of the clements is waging. At last the
crisis is over, the boat, as IL by magic, Is
safe. while the rover embraces his friends
on the coast, for the elements had some
~howNRlided over him and the shell-like boat
without injuring either. The miracle. how
ever, lies not in the saving. but far deeper.
The critical moment of facing the terrible
danger instead Of disabling the rover has
only strengthened him. The overfilled
heart is ready 10 overflow. But first as TO
facts.
A year and a half ago I left the British
shore for Russia, craving to learn, to see
and to hear with my own eyes and ears
the actual situation. So incredible, so per-
plexlng seemed the news which came
through the press and through arriving
eve witnesses, neither supplying any intel
ieible key to the puzzle. that the wave of
faith and Of courage was evidently retreat

cussed, no complaints or criticisms OF any
authorities, no literary productions; in
fact in order to express ones opinion on
any subjects of general interest beyond
merely personal wants one ought to learn
the special Russian art of writing between
the lines. And it must be admitted one
attains a considerable proficiency in this
art under the circumstances.
Visiting prisoners in the fortress is per-
mitted only to the nearest relations, usu-
ally through two small windows, separated
by a space of four by five feet where an
officer has to sit; only in exceptional cases
is visiting in an ordinary room allowed.
Endless limitations are prescribed for these
visits. In my own case l received permits
sion to be visited by my wife and son
about the same time as the American and
English addresses reached here. Soon after
that my wife received permission to visit
me regularly in an ordinary room. and
when she left the capital my daughter,
Mrs. L.. v. Bressey, visited me in the same
way twice a week. These visits were to me
like flashes of fresh air and light to one
buried alive. I used to live from one
visit to another and often counted the
days and even hours left till the next meet
ing. 1t was not because one feels merely
lonely. l had always plenty of imaginary
personages and thoughts of my own to
keep me company. but while staying all
the time and dealing with ones self one
begins to lose the sense OF reality and is
apt TO Identify ones own phantoms and
distractions with real things, which makes
one fee. curiously uneasy and to lose con-
fidence and interest in ones own thoughts
"a most dlsheartening sensation.
Fresh air exercises were allowed in the
Trubetzkoi Bastion daily Except one
Saturday in each fortnight devoted to go
ing to the Russian hot BATH, from fifteen
TO thirty minutes In the square OF the
Bastion, where a few trees and bushes are
growing. Such "A narrow limit of time was
explained by want of space for exercising
more than one prisoner at a time, the
whole bastion being capable OF admitting
nearly seventy inmates when the cells OF
both stories are filled. Prisoners use their
own clothes when walking in the square.
Generally speaking l could not complain
OF the regime In the fortress as applied
to myself, But l had good reason to
ascribe the comparative leniency OF the
authorities to myself much more to the
expression Of public sympathy and inter
est in my case in England, the United
States and France than to anything else.

Midwest Life

The Midwest Life will close the year
1905 with 81 $1,000 Of insurance in force,
or a net gain during the year OF $4,000
on January l. 1909. Mr.. ]. H. Mockett,
Jr., who for the past two years has been
Assistant superintendent OF Agents of The
Midwest Life. will become Superintendent
OF Agents OF that company. Mr.. c. r. Eas-
terday, who has held the title OF Maizena,
tician ever since the company started will
become the Actuary Of the company in
name as well as in fact. These are two
well earned promotions.
The man who increased his life insurance
or took out his first policy in 1903 is TO be
congratulated on his good judgment. The
year 1909, from all present indications. will
be one OF great commercial activity. and
business prosperity. In prosperity prepare

far inferior to that Of the fortress. while
rIe cubic space OF each cell in the latter
Is about ZOO cubic feet, in the Gross
1t is only about 100 cubic feet, which is
hardly sufficient for one inmate, even
without the traditional Russian par
ashka.' l. e., a pail for human refuse,
present there and polluting the air of the
cell every time 1t is opened. Consequently
the atmosphere OF the cells, especially in
winter time, which prisoners have to
breathe twenty-three hours out Of the
twenty-four is simply insufferable.
AS to my case of law l had seen no exs
aminer nor were any questions asked of
me for the first month and a half. And
then 1t appeared that the accusation made
against me consisted Of two main points:
"a Participation in a criminal conspl-
racy against the state, l. e., under article
lo2 OF the criminal code; and ~ agitation
abroad-the former accusation based on so
fantastic and Inaccurate a statement OF
facts that 1t was not difficult for me to
knock the bottom out of II. AS to the
second part of the Indictment l never
made any secret of my sympathy with the
whole liberal and revolutionary movement
In Russia, neither my readiness to supply
the public opinion of the world with re-
liable Information as to the truth and the
whole truth OF the situation in Russia.
Moreover l am ready at any time to bear
the responsibility for doing so II this is a
crime according to the present interpreta-
ton of the Russian law.
Ny present position is as follows: A
golden thread has taken the place of the
iron letters which formerly held me. A
/ golden thread OF 10000 rubles. At first it
was officially stated that on receipt OF
this sum the government was willing to
let me out or bail. The conditions OF this
temporary freedom were crouched in terms
which were apparently misunderstood both
by the lawyer ana my daughter. as they
Informed me that l would be free TO live
abroad or in Russia until recalled for my
trial.
This was, however, later proved 70 be
a false hope, as now 1t turns out that
am tied by law TO the town in which my
case is proceeding. There was even a
doubt whether I should be Above. to make
