Indian for the Senate tit WAS ONCE A (IIY WAIf Gnanah Parker Seeks a High Office. An Indian chieftain aspires to a seat in the United States senate. This is not strange, for other Indian chiefs have had the same laudable ambition, but in this particular instance the aspiration might yet be realized. The aspirant is a power among the tribes of the Indian Territory and is famed tor his achievements in the civil walks of life in the great southwest. He is strenuously working to form a con federation of the tribes of the Indian Territory in the hopes that statehood for the territory will then Ik; easily secured and his election as United States senator would be almost sure to follow. He is a man of wonderful en ergy and executive ability and success has always attended him in his under takings. Those who know him will not be surprised if he reaches the goal CHIEF QUANAH PARKER, of his ambitions—a Beat In the United States senate. Quanah Parker is the name of this remarkable Indian. He Is the head rbief of the Comanches and their all-powerful leader. He has always been the ally of the white man and by his peaceful, yet powerful, lead ership has brought his tribe from pov erty to agricultural affluence and to a well-ordered social state. He is an accomplished scholar and linguist, a trained athlete, an expert horseman and a millionaire. He is the owner of thousands of acres of well-tllled farm lands and lives in a magnificent man sion. To the great Richelieu there was no such word as "fail” and to Quanah Parker there is no such word as "Im possible.” He has banished this word from the Comanche language. When told that it seemed impossible that he should ever become a member of the United State senate, he said: "It is my wish. It will be fulfilled. The word 'impossible’ Is not in the lan guage of the Comanche." Those who know him do not doubt him, for they recall the many remarkable things that he has already done. Quanah Parker Inherits his peace ful disposition and his love of thp white man from his mother, who was a white woman. His grandfather, the great Comanche chief. Quanah, when on the war path at the head of 2,000 of his braves attacked old Fort Parker on the Texas frontier and massacred all the men, boys and women, spar ing only the young girls. These were carried away as squaws and slaves. Among the number was Cynthia Ann Parker, a beautiful 9-year-old child. The old chief was so struck with her beauty and Intelligence that he de termined that she was a white chief's child and resolved that she should still be the child of a chief. He adopted her and placed her in the care of his Rquaws He surrounded her with all the comforts and luxuries that he could provide. She became used to the ways of the Indiaus, learned to love them and was happy with them She grew to be a beautiful woman and then old Quanaii gave her In marriage to Ills son and successor, Peta .Vacona Their first child was a boy and they named him Quanah Parker, after his grandfather and his mother, and it Is he who is the subject of this article. He learned the ways of the Indians from his companions and his mother taught him many of the gentle lea sons that white children learn. He was a remarkably strong and intelli gent boy and his tribe looked upon him as giving promise of becoming as great a hero as Ills grandfather. He was passionately fond of his mother, Mud all the wild instincts of the In dian race was subserved to her will Her fate was the tragedy of his life. Hu father, Nacona, was as fierce a warrior as old Uuaitsh, and his hatred f ir the whites w is equally as gu-at While on the war path his >atup was surprised by l.ieut.

In his grief he took a solemn oath that he would be come a power for good among fis people and teach them the ways of peace as his mother had wlshod hlsn to do. Because of his undying faith in his mother’s teachings he believes I that there is nothing impossible for him to accomplish In ills mission of peace. He believes that she watches over him, guides him and aids him. Me believes that he can aid his people through the halls of legislation at Washington and for this reason he Is firm in his belief that he will live to occupy a seat in the I'nlted States sen ate. With his ability, his great re sources of wealth and influence and his almost fanatical desire to fulfill his mother’s wishes as he understands them, it is not safe to predict his fail ure. WONDERFUL ENDURANCE. Archibald Fork**' Uruat t>at lu thu Turko-Nertlan War. Vs an instance of the remarkable Avers of endurance possessed by Ar nibald Forbes, the famous war corre yondent who died in London recently, the following story is told: The brief war between Turkey and Servla ended with the battle of Djunla, in the au tumn of 1S7G. Forbes was the only correspondent on the spot, and there Servla lay at the mercy of the Turks. At a In the afternoon, when Forbes rode away from the blazing huts of Deligrad, more than HO miles lay be tween him and his destination, the telegraph office at Semlin, In Hungary. He had an order for post horses along the road, and galloped hard for Parat Chln, the nearest post station. When he got there the postmaster had a horse blit no vehicle. All night long he rode that weary journey, changing horses every tifteen mites and forcing the beasts along at the best of their speed. Soon after noon of the follow ing day, sore from head to foot, Forbes was clattering over the stones of the Belgrade main street. The field tele graph wires had conveyed but a curt, fragmentary intimation of disaster; and all Belgrade, feverish for further news, rushed out to meet the corre spondent. But he had ridden hard all night, not to gossip in Belgrade, but to get to the Betnlin telegraph wir“. and he never drew rein till he reach ed the fprry. At Semlin he tok one long drink of beer, and then sat down to the task of writing, hour after hour, against time, the great tidings he carried. After he had written his story and put it on the wires he lay down in his clothing and slept twenty hours without so much as turning. He had meant to start back for Deligrad on the evening of the day of bis ar rival at Belgrade, but fatigue caused him to lose twenty-four hours. It seemed to him when he recovered from chagrin at this delay that perhaps, after all, he was. entitled to a good long sleep. He had witnessed a bat tle that lasted six hours, ridden HO miles and written the Daily News a telegraphic message four columns long —ail in the space of thirty hours. A PAINTER AT 96. Thomas Sidney Cooper, member of the Royal academy, is probably the oldest of living painters, and certainly the most aged of painters who are still at work with the brush. Mr. Cooper, although ltd years old, is an exhibitor in the academy of the present season in London. His paintings represent ing the seasons are among the most interesting pictures of the London ex hibit this year. Sixty-six years ago Mr Cooper hung up his first work of art on the academic walls. It was a painting of farm life and created no little sensation, being the germ of the great school of cattle painters who have since delighted the world with their work. It was the great Verbock Lovcu of Brussels that discovered THOMAS S rooPKft I young Cooper's “feeling for rattle I amt enrotiragci trtl i fat hi* go ti Starlit BISHOP HAHTZELL AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN SOUTH AFRICA. Horn In IlllnoU and KilamlH Hr re, Hr W>nt to th« Dark i ontlnrnt Well I'repared for HU Work -His InHuenip UrMU One of the most energetic of the bishops of the Methodist church Is Joseph C. Jlartiell, whose Jurisdiction Ijes In Africa. Siuce his election to the episcopate In May. 1896, Bishop Hart zell has visited all parts of the conti nent of Africa, traveling nearly 50,000 miles on railroads, steamships, by hammock, on bullocks, by horse and on foot. Hp has not only investigated the work of the missions over which he has ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, but be lias carefully studied all the great political and social questions that have BISHOP JOSEPH C. HARTZELL. to do with the future of the dark con- j llnent. No statesman of England or Europe, or even of Africa itself, Is better In formed in regard to Africa than Is he, for he has read all the standard books by accepted authorities, has consulted \ with governors, explorers, merchants, miners and all other classes of men, from the highest to tiie lowest, who make up the controlling population and by personal observation has I learned much that could not otherwise j have been known. In the future of Africa, Bishop Hart sell will in all probability be an Im portant factor. On that continent, as in other parts of the world, the Chris tian missionaries, among whom have been Robert Moffatt, David Living stone, Alexander Maekay, Bishop Han nington and others wpI! known, have - exerted a powerful civilizing and edu eating influence and they will continue to do so in the future upon the 150,- | 000,000 of savage natives. But they will also influence very largely the white millions who will before many years populate the southern portion of the continent, and divide it Into great republics, free from European oppres sion. Bishop Hartzeli was a distinguished man before he became bishop for Afri ca, for which he was prepared by his previous life-w’ork. He was born near Moline,.III., flfty-six years ago. In voting manhood Bishop Hartzeli entered (larrett Diblha! Institute at Evanston, 111., as a student, to prepare for the ministry.

One day the report spread through Evanston that a vessel had been wrecked off South Evanston and that many lives were In peril. Young Hartzell. with many others, went to the scene. There he found that noth ing was being done to rescue those In peril and no one seemed to be able to do anything, for the waves were too tempestuous for a boat to ride them. Harta»ll saw that only one thing was to be done. Ho partly stripped, tied a rope around his waist, plunged Into the waves and by heroic efforts saved four lives. His heroism was appropri ately recognized when In a mass meet ing of citizens he received a memento which he prizes to this day as one of his most precious possessions. Two years ago one of the men whom he saved Introduced himself to the bishop in Chicago. They had not met since the day of the wreck. Soon after graduating,’ Mr. Hartzell succeeded Dr. John P. Newman (later bishop). In 1870, as pastor of the M. E. church in New Orleans. Early in his work In New Orleans Mr. Hartzell started at his own expense the South western Christian Advocate. This pa per was h power In reconstruction days and a great educator to the negroes Just emerging front slavery. After some years the paper was turned over to the church and is now published by the Methodist Book Concern. Mr. Hartzell'* interest in tho educa tion of the negro soon attracted at tention and he was elected a member of the New Orleans School board. Through the city schools and the schools of the Freedmen’s Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he was appointed assistant to the distinguished Dr, R. S. Rust, Mr. Hartzell helped to shape the educa tional policy of the city and the state. In 1888 Dr. Hartzell was elected to succeed Dr. Rust as secretary, the con trolling official, of the Freedmen's Aid society, a society which controls forty seven colleges and other schools. To this position he was re-elected in 189.’ j and 1898. An Idyllic Iticiik fact. Richard Whiteing, who is still rath er the London celebrity of the mo ment, does not exactly write Immortal verse, but people are still talking of his novel, “No. 5 John Street,” and wondering what his next book will be like. He is a personality that would not' lose a particle of Its charm even if one did know what his favorite rec reations are, which he has never been weak enough to disclose. At the pres ent moment recreation has a delicious significance for him, for, having at last severed a connection of many years with the Daily News, he is real izing what it means to be a bondsman no longer. “1 go to bed at 12 and -ise with the lark," he was heard to say to a friend the other day with a twinkle. "The London lark?” Inquired the friend, rather unkindly. "I don't know," an swered the great, man, chuckling, "but it is the lark that gets down to a 10 o'clock breakfast.”—Philadelphia Post.

John (}. Brady, who Is new in the east in the interest of the development of the vast territory of Alaska, of which lie is governor, is a self-made man i:i the best American sense. At a dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria the oth er evening he referred t<» the time when he was a waif and an outcast in ihe slums of New' York. Many of the governor's friends are familiar with the romance of his life. Others who heard his brief reference to his youth ful hardships were curious to learn more. Oov. Brady never hesitates to tell the story. "Kspecially,” he says, "as it may be an Incentive to other boys who are as poor and friendless as I wag once.” The man who is now the governor of 570,000 square miles of territory was born in squalor in the lower end of Roosevelt street, New York City. Ilis father was a drunken longshoreman. His mother died when he was a child. At 8 years of age "Johnny” had turned his hand to most of the devices by which the New York gamin seeks to keep body and soul to gether. He had sold newspapers, shined shoes, run errands, carried satchels to the steamboat docks and haunted the Hast river water front in the hope of picking up an odd job now and then. Sometimes he found a lodging in the Newsboys' homo. As often as not he slept curled up in a box or in some dark corner of Chatham sijuare. One night a big policeman roused him from ills bed in a packing case, and Johnny confessed that he was hungry and that he hadn’t any home to speak of. His worthless fath er had married again, aud Johnny found little favor with tho stepmother. So they sent him with a boatload of other waifs to Randall's island. On the island Johnny made friends rapid ly. Among others with whom ho found a fast boyhood friendship was a home less lad named Uurke. In the summer of 1839 the Children's Aid society ar ranged to ship a cargo of boys to the west, where homes had been secured for them on farms. Brady and Burke were among those selected to go, and a happier pair of youngsters never took the famous advice of Horace Greeley. There were twenty-seven boys in the party, but no member of the philan thropic Children's Aid society would then have been bold enough to predict that there were two future governors among the tousled-headed urchins rid ing in the one car. But so it was. Brady Is now governor of Alaska. Burke is a former governor of North Dakota. When the carload reached Indiana, Johnny Brady was consigned to the home of John Green, a leading lawyer of the town of Tipton, who had asked for the "ugliest, raggedest and most friendless boy in the lot." Johnny then became “Jack." To the kindness and good influences of this Christian home Gov. Brady attributes his later success. Mr. Green stimulated his am SENATOR PENROSE Senator Boies Penrose, who is am bitious to wedge his ponderous bulk into the vice-presidential chair, does not add to the majesty of his mien when he addresses the senate.

So "Jack" was never Idle. All the time he was at school he was earning what he could to help pay his way. Mr. Green had destined "Jack” for the law, but about this time the boy decided that his mis sion was (he ministry. He had his way about it, and went to Yale, deter mined to work his course through col lege. During his years In Yale he helped to make both ends meet by chopping wood, making fires, ringing the chapel bell and doing any other manual labor that offered a recom pense. Later he earned something as a tutor. Because of the true demo cratic spirit that prevails in moat American colleges, Brady, though poor. GOV. JOHN G. BRADY, was popular. After graduation, true to his purpose to be a preacher, he worked bis way through the Union Theological seminary, depending al most entirely on his own resources. In those days, while in New York, he never missed an opportunity to talk encouraging to boys whose lot was as forlorn as his had been. It was through the Influence of Dr. Sheldon Jackson that Mr. Brady went to Alaska as a missionary. He was a pioneer In the task of civilizing the Indians, and in the section where he labored as a teacher and a preacher nineteen years ago the governor is still frequently re ferred to as Itev. John Brady. As business developed in the territory Brady became a trader and opened a store In Sitka. Here he prospered so well that he became the manager of the Sitka Trading company, and soon acquired a one-third Interest in the concern. He proved to bo a shrewd business man, but he never relin quished his active Interest in mission ary work. When three years ago President McKinley was looking for the right man for governor of the ter ritory, the honor fell to the versatile John Green Brady almost by a process of natural selection. His excellency now ha3 a happy home and a wife and live children to share it. as many friends as possible. As a re sult he dictates countless letters daily to be sent to the heads of various de partments, asking positions for his frletnds. COULDN’T WORK GIG NUMBER. Irate I’arljr'.

Several commercial travelers were gathered about the desk of a down town hotel when the clerk called their attention to the behavior of a stout party wearing a straw hat and who ap peared to be vexed at something that had transpired in the telephone booth.
