Remarkable Find at Houquet Station o
Allegheny JUver.
A remarkable curiosity waa un
eathed by workmen at the approach
of the Ninth street bridge on the op
posite side of the Allegheny river, near
Bouquet station, says the Pittsburg
Leader. It is the bust of an Indian
chleftian made of burned red clay and
about three-fourths life size. When
first discovered by James Sell, an
Italian workman, he thought It waa
a petrified human body, sj natural are
the features portrayed. It waa found
under about fifteen feet of earth on
the side of the hill wh re the dirt U
being taken out to liil out the ap
proach of the bridge uuuimenL The
formation of the earth . nd slate un
der which it had laid sh- wed that at
one time there had bet u a s ide of the
earth and stone from te -teep hill
side. That this had b?r i many years
ago, however, is evident-tl by a large
elm tree fully two am! :i half feet in
diameter standing near by. The im
age may have rested on a grave or
been buried at the top of the hill,
which is the highest alcng the river,
or It may have been in:erred where It
waa discovered. In appearance it
seems as If a mold from a death mask
ao perfect are the outlines. The ears,
eyes and mouth are perfect, but the
nose was fractured by the workman's
mattock in excavating. Besides the
bust the remnants of a portion of the
two arms and hands were found, but
these were carried off by two Spring
dale boys. There was no trace of the
body. What the clay image was used
for Is only a conjecture. It may have
been an idol for religious worship or
it may have decorated a grave. The
material of which it is made is hard
and flinty, being a mixture of red clay
and burnt stone. Over the head, par
tially broken off. Is a sort of shield or
helmet. The bottom of the bust is nat
and solid and there are no marks or
indications of its origin.

by a unanimous vote of the company's

have refused to ratify the contract. It
is considered a move of the S. Paul to

with the publishers that the book be
printed in a cheap as well as an ex
pensive edition.
When asked if "In His Steps" was
founded upon facts Mr. Sheldon said:
"The story when written was purely
imaginary. I knew of no such places
or characters in existence. It was not
founded upon facts, but it wae written
with a desire that the imaginery
might b3Come real. Since the story
was written I have heard of several
characters who are very nearly like
these in the book."
Iu 1891 Mr. Sheldon adopted a new
plan of Sunday evening sarvice in his
church at Topeka. Instead of preach
ing a sermon he read a chapter from
his first story entitled "Richard
Bruce." The "new way" pleased the
people and tho audience room was
crowded every Sunday evening, and
since then he has written eleven stor
ies which have been read in the same
manner.
Had he never written but one story
and that one "In His Steps" he
wouid have won a place in American
literature. It has be3n translated into
French, German, Russian, Italian,
American, Swedish, Norwegian,
Spanish and dialects of Western Af
rica. It is said from the editions in Amer
ica, which sell as low as fifteen cents a
copy, Mr. Sheldon receives $o00 per
month.
Mr. Sheldon j. voids notoriety and is
by nature a retiring man and it is said
be will not talK for publication. A
story is told that a writer for an east
ern religious paper once telegraphed
him, -I am coming to Topeka to stay
a wetk to treat fully of your methods
aod motives in writing and the work
of your church in detail. The article
will be syndicated and printed in
nerly every paper in the country."
Mr. Sheldon replied at onco, in
words of no uncertain sound: "You
need not comr. I will not talk to you
I have some rights which j'ou are
bouad to respect "
A friend once told Mr. Sheldon that
many people who toad his books would
liko to know more about the author;
the it newer was characteristic of the
man: "What is mere idle curiosity.
I do not wish io be talked about or to
have my church work talked about.
Tho message I havo for these people
among whom I live I give in my ser
mons. The message I have for the
world at large I give in my books. I
havo nothing more to siy."
That he has the interest of the work
ing classes at heart thete can be no
doubt. He has studied the different
class of wage earners by working at
their side, at oie time as a mechanic's
helper in the r.airoad shops, and then
out upon the road with the trainmen.
He is an earnest advocate of muni
cipal ownership of public utilities and
has studied the subject at home and
abro. d Ho believes that water, heat
and light plants together with street
car lines should be operated by cities.
The work of this good man is most
noticeable among the poor negroes in
Topekr. Especially in "Tennessee
town" tho negro quarter in that city.
The yards once littered and unsightly
have been transformed into gardens
and flower beds. Prizes were offered
for the best kept houses, neatest yards,
most thrifty families and the change
has been wonderful. A free reading
room and kindergarten were estab

story "The Redemption of Freedom"
is the sto-y of tho work among the
uegroes.
Mr. Sheldon believes that the time
will come when a christian newspaper
managed on a christian basis which
the critics call one of Sheldon's
"dreams" will be a reality.

More Magnificent Tban Niagara,
A correspondent writing in The
Spectator says the Gersoppa fails, on
the Sharavattl river, in South Kanara,
India, are larger and more magnificent
than Niagara. He says: "The river
is 230 yards wide; the clear fall is 830
feet. The Gersoppa falls in the rainy
ceason are incomparably finer than
Niagara in every respect. The roar of
the falling waters Is simply terrific;
the whole earth shakes, and the thun
der is so great that it completely
drowns the human voice. When I vis
ited Niagara and told my American
friends about Gersoppa they replied
with polite Incredulity, 'We never
heard of Gersoppa.' I replied, 'Make
your minds easy; the people at Ger
soppa have never heard of Niagara.
If Niagara could see Gersoppa she
would wrap her head u a mikt."
