JOHN TYLER.

Mrs. +. Newell Jackson, related TO
President Tyler has presented to Presi-
dent Taft the original silhouette portrait
of President Tyler. made by the artist
Aususte Edouart. in Washington, in 1871.
1t will be placed in the White House col
lection of presidential portraits.
Mrs. Jackson has always been inter-
ested in silhouettes. the old black profile
portraits of the eighteenth century.
Six years ago she picked up a rare
treatise on the art. written by Augusta
Edouart. Frenchman. who toured in
Great Britain and the United States, and
cut the picture in black paper of every
king. queen, prince. princess. president
and senator in any town he visited.
Saved From Shipwreck.
When. in 1856, the artist took his pas
sage home from the United States in the
Oneida. he had with him an enormous
collection of silhouette portraits of ia
nous American citizens, their wives and
children. The Oneida was wrecked off
the coast of Guernsey, the artist was
nearly drowned, and all his priceless col
lection went to the bottom of the sea, eX-
cept one trunk, which contained the orig
inal portraits of the French royal family
taken at Holyrood, and some thousands
of AmericanS-from Presidents Tyler. Har-
rison, John Quincy Adams and such men
senators, doctors, ministers and big-wigs
of the rnid-nineteenth century in the first
cities and pleasure resorts of the United
States. Mrs Jackson in her research
work for her book has run across this
collection, and it was she who identified
it, because she knew from old books that
the collection existed, but never thought
to find it.
She has examined many thousand of
specimens of the work by the early sill
houettists, when men and women painted
the old shadow pictures on glass and
ration of her History of Silhouettes,"
which will shortly be published.
Made by Royal Cutters.
No written record yet exists of the
many silhouette portraits of kings and
queens, to say nothing of the pictures
made by royal cutters, such as Princess
Elizabeth, daughter of George Ill. whose
work Mrs Jackson had handled, and
many of which are shown in her book.
Many people do not know of fine
brooches. rings. lockets and old lace fril
pins. with silhouette portraits. mounted
in gold and pearl and diamond Mrs
Jackson possesses round dozen of them
Old china. with silhouette portraits, too
is rare. and Queen Mary is among those
who collected it, while Lady Sackville OF
Knole and many other ladies in English
society have also made such collection
their hobby and have fine examples.

ANOTHER MEXICAN REVOLUTION
State Of oaxaea Refuses to Recognize
the Central Government and to
All Purposes Has Seeded.

Mexico City-The state Of Oaxaca
on Saturday formally declared that
it does not recognize the central
government. This action was taken
by the legislature and ratified by
Governor Benito Juarez. Jr., as re-
suit of the refusal of President Ma
dero to permit the federal troops to
assist the governor in suppressing To-
cal insurrectionists.
Crowds are said to have marched
through the streets of the town yell
ing Death to Madero and the cen.
trail government and declaring the
people of Oaxaca would fight to the
last to maintain the sovereignty of
the state.
To all intents and purposes Oaxaca
has seeded and placed herself in q
state of rebellion. The federal gov
eminent, however, has not yet decid.
ed to regard it as such.
In official circles it is considered
probable that Madero will send a
commission to treat with Governor
Juarez before attempting military
