The frontiersman had a certain coarseness, but he was strong, prac- tical, adaptive and powerful, with individualism, buoyancy (from free- dom), optimism and largeness of de- | sign, and was a composite of various races or nationalities.

The lecture of Miss Keith was, by common consent, considered one of the cleverest and most scholarly addresses heard during the club year, but then, the clubs have a way of expecting things from Miss Keith. ko The address of Miss Alma Paterson at the A. C. A. of California, reviewing the work done for the preservation of the historic landmarks of the State, was very interesting, especially in its regume of the work done along those lines by the California Historic Lamd- marks League. The appeal for funds to push the work forward was the means of bring- ing several members into the league— dues 31 a year. - Under the auspices of the Jewish Women’s Council, Dr. Voorsanger gave a short sketch of the life of Morris Op- penheim, one of the greatest painters of the nineteenth century. Oppenheim preserved the history of the family life of the Ghetto in twenty paintings. He was also a Jewish historian, who used the pencil instead of the pen. Dr. Voorsanger explained the mean- ing of the allegorical pictures. During the intermission between the first and second set of pictures, some choice se- Wetions were rendered by a quartet of ladies. *57 The Philomath Club, Mrs. Julius Kahn president, will hold its regular session to-day at its eclubrooms, 1433 Bush street, when an interesting pro- gramme will be presented.

TACOMA, March —A Dawson dispatch says that one of the most im- portant expeditions ever undertaken | by the Northwest mounted police is that now en route to Dawson from | Herschel Island in the Arctic Ocean, near the mouth of the Mackenzie River. The distance to be traveled is 2000 miles, making it the longest trip ever undertaken through an absolute wilderness in the dead of Arctic win- ter. The purpose is to determine whether it is practicable to open a winter route from the mouth of the Mackenzie River to Dawson. Ar- rangements for the expedition were | perfected last summer. A picked squad | of men were to attempt it, using dog | teams. They were to leave Herschel | Island early in January, crossing the Rocky Mountains by one of the several known passes. Mackenzie River In- dians arrivlnf at Dawson some time ago brought information that the ex- pedition was soon to start. As the winter has been unusually cold some fears are entertained for the safety of the party. ————— THIRTEEN NEGROES HAVE BEEN KILLED IN A WEEK People of St. Charles, Ark., Believe That Quiet Will Now Be Restored. DEWITT, Ark., March 27.—S8till two more negroes have been killed in the clash between white and blacks at St. Charles. This brings the total of dead negroes up to thirteen, all of them being killed within the past week. The last two negroes killed were the Griffin brothers, Henry and ‘Walker, who were the cause of the trouble. The negroes were reported to have escaped, but it is known that they are dead. In the St. Charles neighborhood the negroes largely outnumber the whites and trouble has been brewing for a long time and it is said the negroes for the past two years have been get- ting insolent and belligerent. It is now believed that the leaders of the un- ruly element have been killed and that further trouble will be averted. —_—— AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT HAS FATAL RESULTS In Turning Curve in Central Park, New York, Young Woman Is Thrown Out and Killed.

Partridge and Miss Carrie Roberts. Twelve tables for the games were set out ia the large drawing room, pencils and ribbon-favored scoring lists being pro- vided for each guest. The~party - in- cluded Mrs. Goodall, whose well known social gifts made the task of success- ful entertaining a very easy one for her young kinswomen. Others present were Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Storrer, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Evans, Lieutenant and Mrs. Levin Jones, Mrs. Thomas Kirk- patrick, Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Harring- ton, Captain and Mrs. F. M.

The result of the play was declared ictions that beset him | tion, which she attended as Corona’s {about 11:30, the awards going as fol- lows: First ladies’ prize, an embroid- ered table center edged with exquisite | lace, to Miss Murphy; second prize, a | painted placaue, Mrs. Storrer; booby | prize, lace handkerchief, Mrs. Van der | Naillen; first gentlemen’s prize, a framed oil painting, Mr. Pierce; second prize, stein, Dr. Piper, and the booby | prize, a_tobacco jar, Mr. Masterson. | An adjournment was then taken to | the dining room, where the young hos- | tesses had served an oyster and punch | supper, at which Mrs. Goodall presided. | The guest cards were in- the shape of | Baster eggs, pictured with violets, | which, with quantities of fruit bios- soms, formed the main decoratlons of | the les. Various kinds of Easter | sweetmeats were served at the supper, | which was made specially interesting 1by a round of witty stories, one of the | funniest being a stammering recital | by Mr. Van der Naillen. The evening saw a display of several pretty gowns, noticeably those worn by Mrs. Kirk- | patrick, Miss Aimee Moore, Mrs. Evans | and Mrs. Harrington. 0PES 10 FIND WIFE 1§ WEST | New Arrival at Palace Regis- ters as Count and Says He Desires Matrimony —_— “Count Maurice de Navarre, Sofia, Bulgaria,” is the way he registered | himseif on the Palace Hotel register vesterday. In English, distinctively Western, he asked for a room and bath antl ten minutes later the new arrival's slender form, partly concealed by a long, drab-colored Prince Albert coat, was a conspicuous object in the hotel court. “Yes, I hail from Bulgaria,” said the Count, with a drawl peculiar to some portions of Arkansas. “My ancestors |fled to Bulgaria from France during the revolution. So bitter was the | hatred of my forefathers for the latter country that they decreed that their children should never speak a word of French and we have never violated this rule. Upon my grandfather was con- | ferred the title of Count in his adopted country, and by right of inheritance I now use it.” The Count explained that he had been educated in England and Canada and had spent a great deal of his time in New York, a fact to which he attrib- utes his American ways, so marked that they are noticeable. Last year, while sojourning in Montreal, he sald he met George Rowe of Norris & Rowe's circus and aceepted an invita- tion to accompany Rowe this year around the Western circuit. “Of course, I'm not part of the cir- cus,” remarked the Count, “but I have found this way of traveling the best means ¢f studying human nature, for you get nearer the people—and you might add in your article, if you think it would be of any interest, that I am looking for a wife. 1 haven't come over here like a penniless nobleman, looking for a rich woman, and I don’t want a woman of means, for I have a comfortable fortune. What I want is a good American wife, and I want to say right here that during my two weeks' stay in California I have seen more pretty women than I have set eyes on in all the European countries through which I have traveled. It is here that you find the flower of wom- ankind.” Then the conversation drifted into the political affzirs of Bulgaria, of which the Count confessed a great ig- norance, which, he quickly explained, was due to the fact that e had not been in Bulgaria for five years. He had been unjustly accused of political intriguing and banished, he said, but, he added, this decree had just been set aside by Prince Ferdinand and he was free to return. Count Maurice de Na- varre, however, says that he is serious- ly thinking of renouncing Bulgaria and his titles and becoming an American citizen, and as he announced this de- termination he pulled his feet down from the table. in his room, where they had been reposing during the interview, rose from his chair te his full height, about 5 feet 6 inches, made a stiff bow and remai that he would be pleased to see his visitor again should the lat- ter desire further information regard- ing his family or personal history. e e Picks Up Unconscious Man.

PAUL, March 27.—The first trans- contin®ntal train to get through the snow blockade in North Dakota reached St. Paul over the Great Northern road at 10 o'clock to-day. Another train came in during the afternoon, and two more are expected to reach the city some time to-night. The officials report that the line is again open and traffie has been resumed, though there is still some delay. Passengers on the delayed train state that they were well cared for, and be- yond the inconvenience of being tied up there was no suffering. Officials of the Northern lines state that this has been one of the flercest battles with snowdrifts they have ever experienced, and that even the immense rotary plows which were sent against the drifts, pushed by three heavy en- gines, were almost powerless to cope with the huge mountains of ice and snow, and that in many instances blasting had to be resorted to. ———— .
