PRODIGY TIRES OF KISSES.
Doy Violinist Dons Man's Garb , and ,
Horrors ! . Has His Hair Cut.
There Is ono Infant prodigy the loss
n the world , now that Mlscha Elamn ,
he boy violinist , has grown tired of
lelng an Infant and sick of being , as
uch , fondled and kissed by the wo-
ion admit ers of his playing , says a
xmdon dispatch. Ho determined In
nd It , so yesterday ho appeared on
he platform of Queen's hull with
loso-cropped hair , and , discarding
lie knickerbockers and sailor Jacket
f Infancy , ho was arrayed Instead In
eng black dress trousorH , white waist-
oat , smoking jacket and a man's or-
Inary turndown collar. Mlscha , In
act , faced his audience no longer as
wonder child , but as an artist and
man.
"It was simply absurd , " ho told a
eporter , "for me to go on wearing
tnlckerhockcrs and a sailor suit. It
vas simply posing. I hate posing. I
m a good enough artist to stand upon
iy merits without the aid of white
louses and black stockings. I want
ecognltion and appreciation because
am an artist , not because I am a
ittlo boy. I have always hated the
dca of being an infant prodigy.
"I just had my hair cut au short as
osslblo. Lout ? hlllr does not help to
* ot ail , It does not help me to play
lie violin. People seem to have ox
raordinary ideas. They think I al-
vays want to be eating sweets. I hate
weets. Again , the ladies want to kiss
no. That makes me furious. When
Jlrst came over to England a gentle-
nan used to guide mo around to all

dss me , but I pointed to the gentle-
nan and said 'lie kisses , ' and then I

HOW EARTH WAS FORMED.
Professor Chamberlain , of the Chicago
University , Expounds Theory.
In an address at the opening ses
sion of the annual meeting of the Con-
ral Association of Science and Math
ematics Teachers yesterday , Prof.
Thomas Crowder Chamberlain , of the
Jnlversity of Chicago , outlined his re
cently announced "accretion theory"
of the earth's origin , which , if accept
ed by scientists , Will overthrow the
so-called "nebular hypothesis" and do
away with most of the ideas common-
y held as to the origin of the earth
and the other planets.
According to the "nebular hypoth
esis , " or Leplaco theory , which has
> een held for over a century , the earth
and the other planets originally were
nasses of molten matter thrown off
from the sun by Its whirling motion
ind gradually cooled to their present
condition. This theory rroi. unam-
lerlaln attacks on the assumption that
ho sun never had a whirling velocity
sufficient to throw off such bodies.
Prof. Chamberlain's theory Is that
1 disturbance was caused In our sun
iy the near approach of , or collision
vlth , some other sun , which drew off
rejections of nebulous matter from
ur sun and gave them a rotary motion
> y its own attraction as it passed.
Those particles of matter then grad-
nlly gathered together to form the
ilancts.
The internal heat of the earth , says
Prof. Chamberlain , developed by com
pression as the body grew. The the
ory that the moon once had an atmos
phere , he assorts , must also bo given
up.
up.Tho meeting of the association Is at
tended by 500 teachers of science and
mathematics from the central states.
Actor's Voice Stilled.
The speech of an actor whp for
twenty-eight years has brought tears
and laughter to playgoers everywhere
In the country , was stilled forever by
a surgeon's knife yesterday , when the
tongue of Frederic L. Power , stage di
rector at the Bush Temple theater was
removed at St. Joseph's hospital , says
a Chicago dispatch. Mr. Power wll
never be able to articulate again , the
surgeon's declare , though the patient
himself hopes against hope that he
will regain the power of speech to
some extent. The stricken man's las
v.ord before the operation wore expressions
pressions of cheer to his mother. A
cancerous growth called for the ro
moval.
THE REWARD OF $200.
Minnesota Papers Say it Will Go to

Minneapolis and St. Paul papers announce

mer Steam , the horsethlef caught her
and taken yesterday back to Crooks
ton , Minn. The Polk county sherlft

To attempt to mention the thousand

specially thank the physician who
ave his services , the societies who
ontrlbuted and each Individual who

iltteo worked hard and the coimmtn-

WICKED NEW YORK RUINS RICH
Steel Trust Heads Too Susceptible to
_ Temptations Corey , for Example.
'New York city contains too many
emptatlons for bright young men who
attain the position of president of the
United States Steel corporation , be-
love several high officials of the cor
loratlon , says a Pittsburg dispatch
Per this reason a movement Is on
foot to have the headquarters broughl
iack to Pittsburg. The reason that
will be given Is that the general officers
cors and the president would keep In
closer touch with affairs at the plants
the most Important of which are ii
and around this city. The flnancia
department will remain In New York
to be near the financiers who contro
its destiny.
According to relatives and friends
of the Corey family In Pittsburg , Mr
and Mrs. Charles M. Schwab might as
well devote their time to something
else than trying to effect a reconcllla
tlon between William Ellis Corey and
his wife. It is declared hero by thos
who know that no matter what dec !
slon might bo reached by Mr. Core >
his wife would positively refuse to en
tertaln any suggestions which wouh
tend to bring the couple togethe
again. Had the attempt been mad
prior to the publication of all the fact
in the case , there is but little doub
that Mrs. Corey would have been enl
too glad to overlook whatever shor
coinings her husband may have. Now
it Is claimed , It Is too late.
The prospects of the selection o
William B. Schiller , president of th
National Tube company , to succcet
Corey are growing brighter every day
Plttsburfj steel men have practical !
settled upon him as the coming hoa
of the great concern. Ho has the bacl
Ing of many of ( ho moot proinliienl
tien In ( he corporation , and he In con
Idered the best man available for tin
dace.
Few people , even In PlltshiirK , know
uiieli of Mr. Hohlllor. Ho In quiet , un
inhuming and approachable , though
me of the moiit lovable men when
tnown. Only -If. yearn of age. Mr.
Schiller remained a bachelor until four

RED MAN AS AN INDIAN.
ommlssloncr Lctipp Snyn Solution of
Problem Is In Schooling of Youth ,
Francis 10. Leupp , commlsHlouor of
ndlan affairs , drain In no uncertain
lanner with the no-called "Indian
ni'Htlnn" In hin annual report , says a
VaKhlngton dispatch. Ho raps the
leorlsls over the KnucKlcs In great
tylo , and tells how , In his judgment ,
IP Indians should be treated by the
bites.
"The commonest mistake made by
ils white well-wlshera In dealing with
i(3 ( Indian Is the assumption that he
s simply a white man with a red
kin , " Is the way Mr. Leupp opens up
ils subject. ' "The next commonest Is
lie assumption that because he Is a
on-C'aucaslan ho Is to be classed In-
Iscrlmlnately witli other non-C'auca-
lans , like the negro , for Instance ,
'he truth is that the Indian has as
Istlncl an individuality IIH any type
f man who ever lived , and he will
ever be judged right until wo learn
o measure him by his own standards ,
s wo wlilles would wish to ho mea-
ured If some more powoiful racoweie
o usurp dominion over us. "
With the situation presented of hnv-
ng the Indians in subjection , and liav-
ng been pauperized and made indo
ent by perpetual supplies from the
reasury , Mr. Leupp says It is a won
or they have not been wholly ruined ,
lut though not ruined , he says , they
ave suffered serious deterioration ,
nd the chief piohlom now before us
s to prevent Its going any further. To
lint end ho says we must reckon with
evoral facts.
First , nothing can be done with the
ndlan who has passed middle life. He
s likely to remain an Indian of the
) ld school to the last. With the younger
or adults we may hope to do some
thing here and there , where we find
ono who is not too conservative ; but
> iir main hope lies with the youthful
generation , who are still measurcably
dastlc.
"The task we must set ourselves Is
o win over the Indian children by
sympathetic Interest and unobtrusive
guidance , " the commissioner says. "It
s a great mistake to start the little
ones on the path to civilization by
snapping all the tics of affection he-
ween them and their parents , and
caching them to despise the aged
and non-progressive members of their
'amllles. The sensible as well as the
iiiinane plan Is to nourish their love
> f father and mother and home
Again , In dealing with thcso boys aw
girls it Is of the utmost Importance not
mly that we start them right , but that
our efforts be directed to educating
rather than merely instructing them
The foundation of everything must be
, he development of character. Learn
ng Is a secondary consideration.
"Of the 30,000 or 40.000 Indian chll
( iron of school ago in the United States
probably at least three-fourths wll
settle down In that part of the wen
which wo still style the frontier.
