"A Cowboys Grip which comes

To Settle Suit Against Him fol
Breach of Contract.

Newark, N. j., April 10.-Thomas A
Edison has settled for s450000 the suit
for breach of contract brought against
him by the New York Phonograph
company. In addition his counsel has
signed an agreement to settle approx
mately 700 suits brought by the New
York company against dealers in that
state. The amount involved in the set
tIement of these and the principal suit,
IS approximately million dollars.
The settlement was reached after an
aH-nlght conference in this city, pre-
lminary to which there were negotia-
tons of several weeks duration dur
ing which the wires were kept busy
between Orange, N. j.. and Mr.. Edi-
sons winter home in Florida
The suit was for the territorial rights
for the sale of Edison monographs and
photographic supplies in New York
state. 1t was begun in 1901. A similar
suit for territorial rights to the New
England states is now pending in the
courts. An injunction was recently
granted in the New York courts so re-
straining Mr.. Edison and his associates

New York, April 10.-As means

Science church has leased the grand
ballroom of the Hotel Plaza for Sun
days for a year. The room has seat
ing capacity of eight hundred and the
first service will be held tomorrow
afternoon. Part of the hotel orchestra
will provide music to accompany the
hymns. This move by the Christian
Scientists is the forerunner of a plan
to build a church in the neighbour
hood. although there are already six
Christian Science churches in the city.
Mrs Eddy's sanction to the hotel in
novation was obtained before the con-
tract was signed. The consideration
for the use of the ballroom was not
announced.

Salem, as that vessels crew is firm in
the belief that they have the best

argued that case for the government

Mr.. Kellogg argued that the twenty

State Superintendent Fairchild,
while rummaging his desk one day
this week found a letter that a YER
mont lady had written to an eastern
school journal in which the story of
the origin of the head on the penny
is told and verified. That part of the
letter which bears directly on the SUBJ
ject is as follows:
when Sarah was a child of ten
or twelve years of age a delegation of
Washington. They came to see the
sights and pay their respects to the
great chief of the nation. After hav-
ing spent considerable time in the
capital, the Indians were taken to
Philadelphia. Here they were shown
the mint.
"Sarah's father was a fine engrav-
err and he had official connection with
this great money factory. He was a
kindly benevolent man as well and he
invited this delegation Of red men to
some sort of an entertainment at his
home One of the chiefs had his at
tention attracted to the little miss and
he was so pleased with her figure and
maidenly bearing that in mood of
sportiveness he took off his headdress
and put it on her head.
'She was not frightened; but lend
ing herself to the enjoyment of the
joke she stood for moment and let
the company look at her. Some one
present who had both an eye for beau
ty and artistic skill. was so struck by
the appearance that little Sarah Long
acre made in her Indian finery that
he sketched her on the spot. The
sketch was engraved by her father"
"Just at that time the penny in its
present form was about to be issued,
but the figure with which its face was
to be ornamented had not been chos-
en- This engraved sketch of Sarah in
her Indian headdress went into COM
petition for the honor. 1t was accept
ed in preference to all others, and
imprint of it was transferred to the
neat little penny which Uncle Sam for
so many years has sent out and is
sending out into the world.

HEAD UPON THE PENNY.
State Superintendent Fairchild Un-
earths Its History.

Ask the next person you meet what
is the head of a United States one
cent piece and see what answer you
get. Nine people out of ten will tell
you that it is an Indian head. They
base their opinion on the feather head
dress and the fact that the profile
slightly resembles the ideal features
of young Indian. But this is not so.
The head on the pennies is that of a
gracious young American woman

who for many years was held in adj
miration both for her beauty and her
goodness, and who died something
like a year ago.
