ARKANSAS CITY, Ark., Sept. 16.—At 12 o'clock the bars that have so long inclosed 6,000,000 acres of public land were let down, and over 100,00) men and women joinel in the mad rush for land. Men who had the fastest horses rode like the wind from the border, only to find other men with sorry looking animals ahead of them. Fast teams carrying anxious home seekers were driven at breakneck speed, only to find men on the land, who had gone in afoot. Every precaution had been taken to keep out the “sooner” element, and yet that same element, profiting by former experi- ences, had captured the land. All night the rumble of teams could be heard as they moved out to the strip. At the depots the men stood in line at the ticket office wait- ing the slow movement of ticket sellers, who could not sell over 2,000 tickets an hour. The great jam, however, was at Or- lando, where there gathered 20,000 Perry citizens, all anxious for the time to come when they could start on their ten-mile race. At the meridian hour the start was made. For an hour before the borders of the strip were black with men, horses and teams. 7 From the elevation at Orlando the line could be seen for a distance of eight miles east and ten miles west. In each direction the line was crowded until there appeared but a black ribbon outlined on the gray surface about them. Half a dozen times some one would shout the hour of noon and fifty to a hundred horsemen would draw out of the line only to be driven back by the cavalry men who were patrolling the strip in front of the impatient throng. The Hoar of Noon. At last a puff of smoke was seen out on the plains to the north and soon a dull re- port of a cannon was heard. A dozen carbines along the line were fired in response to the signal and the line was broken. Darting.out at breakneck spegd, the racers soon dotted the plains in every direction. Following them came light vehicles driven with a madness that disregarded every ob- struction, the drivers yelling and urging thetr horses with whip as well as voice. ‘Then followed heavier wagons erveloped in clouds of dust, the noise made by their wheels resembling long-continued rolls of thunder. Behind these came anxious foot- men carrying blankets, water and stakes, regardless of the heat and dust. Before them was the unknown, behind them were all the discomforts of that hell upon earth, Orlando. The trains were loaded rapidly. At first there was an attempt to examine the registration certificates, but this was soon given up, as the rushing thousands pushed those ahead of them, the trainmen giving all their time to collecting the tick- ets. The first train of twelve cars pulled across the line at noon, crowded as trains never were before. Platforms and roofs of cars were black with human life, as were the insides. Following this train, with an interval of only two or three minutes, went another and another, until the last, consist- ing of flat cars and coal cars, all crowded, had pulled across the line, followed by at least 3,000 disappointed panting men, who were determined not to be deprived of their rights. ‘The run to Perry was made in three-quar- ters of an hour. Before the train stopped men began climbing out of the windows and jumping from the platforms. All night there was a hurrying to and fro, and but. few of the 150,000 boomers upon the border of the promised land closed their eyes in sleep. With prairie fires rag- ing in front of them and with mind and body strained by the pent up excitement of the coming struggle there was no room for sleep, no inclination to rest. Over 15,00 people wanted to go in on the first train which had a capacity for less than 2,00, and all were anxious to get the place to get aboard. At 11 o'clock the first first train, which had a capacity for less came right behind it. There were at least half a dozen trains, but everybody wanted to ride on the first one, and as far forward in that as possible. A Terrible Rash for the Cars. With a wild shout the crowd rushed for- ward. The soldiers on the ground were swept from their feet and for a moment it seemed as though the mob would capture the train for men and women were around and over the engine and tender, upon and | under the platforms and even’ upon the roofs of the coaches. The blue-coated guardians soon recovered, however, and with fixed bayonets cleared the train and compelied everybody to show his or her certificate before entering. But on every side people fought and struggled to get near the cars. ed COLLIDED IN A TUNNEL. A Passenger Train Ri Into a De- railed Express Train. LONDON, Sept. i6.—An accident occurred today on the Great Western railway in a tunnel near Bath, twelve miles southeast of Bristol. An express train from Bristol to London was derailed. A passenger train for Bristol entered the tunnel just as the accident occurred, and dashed into the de- railed coaches. A number of persons were injured. Those most seriously Injured were sent to the hospital at Bath. Railway hands were engaged for several hours in clearing the tracks for trafic. At 7 o'clock this evening the line was again open.

The Color Sense in House Fur- nishings. A Room in Blue Jeans and An- other in the French Style. + . SOME. NEW FABRICS. From the Upholsterer. NE OF THE MOST serious stumbling blocks in the way of artistic household furnishing is the faul- ty development of the color sense. In some Persons, indeed, this sense seems to be wholly lacking. ‘This deficiency results in the wretchedly in- harmonious grouping of colors found in s0 many houses — one might almost say in the majority of them. Again there are persons who, in their home furnishing, buy one thing after an- other, each pretty enough in itself, to be placed in the same room without giving any thought to thelr general effect when..10 placed. If these persons have any appte- clation of color or harmony their house furnishing will be a sore disappointment to them, and if there be anything in the the- at the nerves are affect a their health will suffer. ee sae The modern theory of color is that the eye has in it a certain cluster of nerves, all of which respond to the action of the waves of the light that impinge upon it; some uf these nerves respond more strongly to the long waves, and we then see red; the waves of medium’ length enable us to see green: some of the short ones awaken a sensation of violet, and so on. Every object reflects more or less light to the eye, at the same time absorbing some of its waves, which gives us the sense of color accordingly as the waves may be long or short. If waves of all lengths be reflected to the eye, the sensation of white will be produced: if only | of certain lengths, certain colors will only be perceived. The theory is that every cne 1s endowed with the true color sense, and that if this sense is not stifled by improper education we will involuntarily distinguish between pleasant and unpleasant colors Often it is not possible to choose oni household decorations—they are the accu- mulations of years, representing every color and combination of colors, and have hecn forced upon the housewife by circumstances.” ‘Then it is that a serious problett presents | {tselt. How to Affect, harmony tm the Ais lant elements without slaughter!y; household god: asnanessae ap: There’s Much in Arrangement. The solution of the problen necessitates @ knowledge of the science of color, which very few persons possess, or a cultivated taste, which is almost as rare. Unless one be the happy possessor of either knowl- edge of color or taste it would be the better plan to get advice of some more gifted friend or to employ professional assistance. By this means the incongruity of color may be disposed of, without sacrificing the aouse- hold idols. "A different arrangement of the same things will often work a wondrous improvement. ‘There is hardly a color that may not be toned down and made to har- monize with some other—an accomplis ment that may seem at first out of question. The young housekeeper, with all her “things” to buy, will not be beset by this difficulty, and if. she will exercise proper care in her first selections, and choose snb- sequent furnishings with reference to those she already has, it will be long years before she shall find’ herself in a serious dilemma. If not quite sure of herself and unwilling to ask advice it will be best to confine herself to one color for eacM room, of which there may be as many shades as possible, or as few. A combination of two or more colors requires greater care, although one may safely venture with two colors, provided they be not both strong, or with any bright colore with gold. It is impossible to even hint at the color schemes that may be ef- fectually used in household furnishings— their name 1s legion. To come back to the beginning: Since the color sense in civilized man is so entirely the result of education and association, is it not worth while to develop it In the right direction to the end that ourselves, our children and our friends may be refined ard our dwelling places be a joy forever? About Pictures, Pictures must suit the size of the room, the purpose for which it is used, ani the furnishing. Cheap pictures are not of ne- cessity to be despised. In many instances these reproductions of art gems are worthy to be placed, but to see a lot of coarse chromos, framed in gilded composition, hung upon paper of sprawling gold figures, destroys all semblance of good taste. In a country cottage that is appropriate which would be inadmissible to a city drawing room. In the latter place such decorations should be excellent works of art. The walls should not be crowded, two or three handsome pictures are worth any number of mediocre examples. Of these, one at least should be large or important enough to show by itself upon an extended wall space, while smailer ones may be grouped. If the wall is treated decorative- ly; that is, if hung with tapestry or showy paper, then pictures should be relegated to another apartment. ‘The background will serve to make them, gverything or nothing. When one. has ale. tures too choice to be hung on a detracting wall, first drape a space with some. rich dark material, making sure to have the drapery extend sufficiently far to give the relief needed. The color and quality of the drapery must of course, be determined by the predominant color of the room. In a library or large hall, or a dining room, etchings and engravings are very suitable. It is an exploded fancy that deco- rates the latter merely with dead xame, fruit and flowers. Hang in their stead en will be more worthy. In framing pictures avoid gorgeousness. It is a mistake to draw attention from the figure or landscape to that which Incioses it, and above all things to be rejected are those coarse, rough, stamped frames, gilt or silvered, that are displayed in cheap bar- gain stores. Too much gold,in picture frames is disastrous. To squander that bril- lant metal is decidedly inartistic. Nature bestows it in small quantities, and we should emulate her reserve. Metal frames of fine workmanship can be used, but they should neither be massive nor overwrought. Prints especially should not be inserted in gilded frames; they should have mats of thick toned paper,surrounded by flat frames of oak or cherry. An to Frames, A small, fine picture,on a mat of rich vel- vet, may show within a narrow gilt mold- ing, the whole being inclosed in a glazed box of dark wood. Much protection from dust is thus procured, and the softening ef- fects of the glass is another reason for its use. On a light wall a black framed pic- ture is a blot, all the more so if the picture be light. Neither should a light frame surround a dark picture on a dark wall, rather should a medium tone be used, in order to harmon- ize with background’ and picture. Flat frames are suitable for water colors. Smal! prinis or water colors may be grouped side by side, the same narrow frame inclosing each and surrounding all. “In this manner many fine pictures of noted persons, that are found in most of our first-class maga- zines, may be preserved, as well as small, fine landscapes. By all means reserve the photographs of friends for the privacy of one’s own room, for however beautiful they may seem to the possessor, they are as pic- tures seldom decorative. In an ordinary dwelling the hanging of a fine picture in a good light is a difficult matter. A northern exposure is best, but dwellings are too nar- row to allow of a focus sufficiently distant, and pictures have to be placed in rooms looking east, west, or south. We must com- promise, esgaying the effect of each when suspended from this side and that, and finally fixing it where the light is. best adapted to bring out the beauties of the pictures. It should be observed, where at all possible, that the high lights of the pic- ture and the light from the windows fall fn the same direction. Picture wires are necessary, yetought not to be attached in such a manner as to tip the frame top too far from the wall. telegram from Sheriff Ross of Columbus stating that he was wanted there on a charge of forging papers in a real estate transaction. The amount Involved Is $1.00, Sheriff Ross will reach here tomorrow morning with the necessary papers. For artistic effect, suspend pictures on a level with the eyes of a person of average height. A Room tn Denim. While blue jeans may not be appropriate for the drawing room sofa nor the spa- }in_a corner framed in cherry. cious lap of an old chippendale armchair, for the library, the dining room and the bed room it makes a good cushion silk; is easily soiled, cretonne is too heavy and muslin is too thin. Denim has none of these drawbacks. ‘The fabric gomes in red as well as blue this season, and both colors are of a good tone. As it is lighter on the wrong side, but still @ pleasing color, many of the cushions are made up with the wrong side of the goods for the bottom half, but the cushions are much handsomer with both sjdes alike and both ornamented. The decorative pattern chosen is generally outlined in narrow white linen braids or cotton cords. Very hand- some screens are mounted with denims; the two outer panels of blue, red forming the central one, while arabesques of white cord run over all three. Denim makes good portieres, for it shakes off the dust and can be easily washed; in the portiere a broad design is used, a sat- isfactory one being a Greek border done with an inch wide Hercules braid in white, and the lower edges finished off with white ball fringe. Fven chairs are beginning to be up- holstered with denim, the dark red espe- cially giving a fine tone to cherry. A din- ing room has been done in denims, and the carrying out of all color effects was pleas- ing when taken in conjunction with the cozy, “liveable” look which it is now the style as far as possible to give to all rooms. ‘The wall paper was of a broad, bold pat- tern in white and blue, the mantels were of cherry, the frieze of blue enameled wood. the chandeliers and cornice poles a dull silver and the pictures simple etchings and engravings in narrow white frames and wide white margins. At each doorway hung a portiere of blue denim, with a Greek border in broad, white braid; over the plain white shades were draped lambrequins of the blue without ornament. All the cherry chairs were up- holstered in the darker side of the blue, the table cover was in the same shade, with the Greek border in white; the divan had cushions of both red and blue, across one corner, was artistically swung a hammock, in which great cushions of the same rested, while a three paneled screen in red and blue with the Greek pattern in white stood In one window stood a round Japanese jardiniere in blue and white porcelain, and here and there on the wall was fastened an old Dutch tile with its wonderful har- mony of blue shades. Drawing Room Decorations. Many are the schemes for decorating our reception rooms. A recent drawing room richly colored has the walls hung with a deep crimson wall paper, thé background of which has the effect of watered silk, upon which the figures appear to be raised as though of velvet. In reality they are not even of flock, but are merely printed in per- fectly flat color, the same tone as the back- ground, yet they seem to stand out from it because of the apparent difference in tex- ture. The design is rather rococo in charac- ter, long curved acanthus leaves in the form of graceful scrolls being intertwined with roses, The ceiling paper, which is a plain watered silk effect in pale greenish blue, 1s brought down over the deep cove cornice as @ canopy, until it reaches the broad gold picture molding, enriched with the egg and dart pattern. The curtains of heavy sili, both at doors and windows, are a dull, greenish blue color; the carpet is oriental in pattern and of a rich, deep red. ‘The chandeliers and hardware are of an elaborate rococo design, _fin- ished in gold ormulu. What woodwork shows 1s of oak, stained a dull bluish green, the molding being very sparingly enlivened with burnished gold. The mahogany furni- ture is upholstered in figured silk and velvet damasse of the same shade as the curtains. This might, perhaps, make a heavy and gloomy room, did it not serve as a setting for a number of superb pictures rich in all the luminous atmosphere of the French school. ————+0ee THEIR SEA GIRT UTOPIA. Strange Circumstances That Led to the Making of a South Sea Community From the San Francisco Examiner. Henry A. Bell is a citizen of the smallest civilized government on earth and halls from the most diminutive capital city in} existence. He is from Albert Island, a small speck of land that rises out of the southern seas in the vicinity of the Mar- quesas group. The traveler who bears this distinction is at the Ahlborn House, prepar- atory to taking his departure for Notting- ham, England, where he was born and whence he departed twenty years ago to follow the fortunes and ghare the exile of a friend who was acused and found guilty of a crime that he never committed. Bell, who 1s a strong, swarthy looking Englishman, about forty-eight years of age, willingly told of the little island where he makes his home. “Albert Island,” he said, “is only about five miles by three in size, and although I have lived on it for over twenty years its attractions have just as strong a hold on me as they had at first. It is a typical isle of Oceanica, and of its beauties one never tires. There is a population of just ninety- six souls, and the government is paternal in form’ and administered by Richard Wright. “How we came to settle there and exile ourselves from the civilized world is‘a story that tells of the wrongs which are ofttimes inflicted upon the innocent by circumstan- tial evidence. In 18i1 the manager of a Nottingham ‘lace company discovered a shortage of £1,000 in the cash. It appeared that the money had been boldiy taken from the vaults on the night before pay day. As Mr. Wright was the cashier, and had: all the keys to the vault in which the money was kept, suspicion at once fastened itself on him. ‘He was accused of the crime, but protested that he was not gullty. The cir- cumstances were all strongly against him, however, and he was arrested, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to seven years’ im- prisonment at hard labor. “Even his own relatives believed him guilty. His mother died broken-hearted be- cause of the disgrace, and his wife cruelly abandoned him to his fate and refused to hear from him again. Eighteen months after his term of imprisonment began some workmen while repairing the vaults in the age company’s office found the missing 2,000. The amount was in notes, which in ‘some inexplicable manner had got wedged between the metal sheetings of the vault. Of course Wright's innocence was shown at once, and in justice to those who were 80 active to secure his conviction it must be said that they left no stone unturned to Secure his pardon and proclaim his inno- cence. He was promptly pardoned, but the pardon came too late. He was a’ changed man. Though glad that his innocence was established, he was conscious that an in- jury had been wrought that could not be repaired. “By the death of his mother he had come into a fortune on which he could have lived the remainder of his days in comparative luxury, without dotng a stroke of labor. He settled the greater portion of this upon his wife, but refused to have any further relations with her. He left England for Australia a broken-hearted man. From a@ trader he learned of the existence of Albert Island, 2nd resolved to there establish his home. He sent for a few families who were tenants of his mother’s estates, and with them he repaired to the sea girt refuge. Every family is provided with a comfortable cottage, and almost everything required for domestic use ts produced on the island. The trading vessels supply all that is nec outside of this, and, bestdes, they leave hind handsome sums of coin every year in exchange for the surplus products of the place. Of course every cne has an oc- easional desire to see the outside world, and all are at Mberty to go and come as they please. But they rarely take advantage of this liberty, and those who go abroad al- ways hasten back. “We call the little settlement around Mr. Wright's comfortable residence Alberte. Mr. Wright settles all disputes, and we lead a very Arcadian life. Although we are so far away from the center of civilization, we are not lacking in all of the good things of this advanced age. Our homes are sup- plied with planos, fine furniture, books and periodicals, and we are living very cozily. “I am on my way to Scotlend, and as soon as my business there has been dispatched, I shall hurry home to the little South Sea Island.” see, Not Esijoyed, However.

From the Chicago Tribune. He was footsore and weary and wasted by the infirmities of age. His thin white hair floated over bis shoulders, and the ex- pression of his faded blue eyes indicated a diseased state of mind. Between great bites of crackers and cheese he told the story of his long search: “We lved in Boston. Nellie and I ana the baby. We were poor, but I worked hard, and for a long time we were happy. After the baby came Nellie grew discon- tented and tired of poverty, she said, and asked how ever we were go! our little girl and make a $10 a. week. You see Nellie looked so far ahead. a year old I went home from my work as usual, but Nellie was not there. She had taken the baby and gone without leaving @ word of farewell. “That was twenty years ago. The 10th day of June, 1873, Nellie went away with the baby, and I've been hunting for them ever since. “Once I saw her in New York. She was well dressed and accompanied by a fash- fonable-looking gentleman. I ran up and spoke to her—but I must have changed so she did not know me, for she screamed and nearly fainted, and her companion struck me over the head with his cane. I was stunned and blinded for a few minutes. When I recovered a crowd had gathered around me. A policeman asked what the trouble was. I told him all about it, ana when I said she was my wife everybody lauched and called me crazy. “But I did not give up looking for her and I never will. I must be going now, sir, for it’s getting late.” “Where are you going next?” “To St. Louis. Good-bye, sir.” And he wiped his mouth on his coat sleeve and trudged away down street. = soe es Overheard at the Art Building. From Life.
