GEN. BELL ENJOYED THfP MH
"If I should have my selection of
departments I would surely come to
this one for I love the West, the
frontier, and after going through Al
aska, the call of the wild Is again on
me." said Maj. Gen. Franklin Bell,
chief of staff of the United States
army, last night at the Washington
hotel. Gen. Bell was accompanied on
his tour of Alaska by Mrs. Bell, and
through interior Alaska also by Mrs.
VYancis J. Heney.
"It was my firs' trip to Alaska,"
said the general last evening "and
I regret to say so .for 1 was impress
ed with all its resources, scenery,
minerals, agriculture and timber. Real
ly. 1 think that the scenery is one
resource that will not be worked, out,
that will grow in value each year,
that will pour money into the terri I
tory at an ever Increasing rate each
year.
"While the agricultural possibilities
cannot be denied, especially when a
visit Is made to the producing dis
tricts, highways, both rail and wagon,
arc needed to connect with and ttplolt
the placer fields and thereby nuke a
market for the farmers, who, thriving
on a home demand, will materially
assist In building up the country for
themselves and others by affording
moans for developing other resources.
"I found the army branch of the
government doing good service in
Alaska. It Is through our set-rice that
the roads are being ballt The tele
graph and wireless systems are giv
ing the people excellent moans of com
munication. Then, again our boys
have been of aid in succoring the
distressed on the trails, in breaking
trails and otherwise co-openatlag with
the settlers. ? Seattle ? P. I.
OLD POWOERHOBBS.
They Were Once Important Im
plements of Warfare.
TREASURED AS HEIRLOOMS.
Handed Down From Father to Son and
From Friend to Friend ? Engraved
and Ornamented. They Were Used as
Gift* Instead of Jeweled Swords.
Modern Inventions have robbed war
fare of much of its romance and the
soldier of much of his old time plctur
esqueness. Although the po'wderhorn
as an implement of war disappeared
long before ihe uiagezlne gun of today
was dreamed of. it wasn't so very long
ago, as a matter of fact, that men
were carrying powderhorns. Some of
the soldiers in the Mexican war, for^
example. used them.
The powderhorns carried by the
fighters in the early days of this coun
try were often of comparatively sim
ple workmanship, but they were cher
ished and handed down from father
to son and from friend to frleud.
Strange to say. though cherished In
this manner, collectors have had a
very hard time In locating any great
number of the powderhorns used in
this country, and this in spite of the
large numbers used in the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries.
In the French and Indian war the
Rngllsh and Americans carried 10.000
! powderhorns. It has been estimated.
to say nothing or the nnninrr carried
by those on the French side. In the
[ Revolution there were, according to
[ the best estimates, about 10,000 pow
derhorns In use In the American
army without counting those on the
Hrltlsh side. The European troops had
long discarded them, of course, but
their colonial allies naturally were
equipped with them.
?V few years ago Isaac J. Greenwood
presented to the New York Historical
society a collection of water color pic
tures of powderhorns he had found
?ttll In existence.
| Although the search was prosecuted
with great diligence, the number of pow
derhorns aetually located and sketched
was not much more than 400. showing
how quickly the horns have been dis
appearing.
Powderhorns are supposed to have
come Into use almost simultaneously
with the Invention of gunpowder. A
way had tp be found to carry the pow
der and keep it dry, and men quickly
found that there wasn't anything bet
! ter or eheai>er in mediaeval times for
this purpose than the horns of an ani
mal.
They were In general use In the six
teenth century and were brought to
this country by the first settlers. The
I oldest horn whose picture appears In
the collection was found near Schenec
tady, N. Y? and bears the date of 16SS.
It was generally the horns of their
own cattle that the farmer fighters of
| America used. The lass of a horn In
nowise Impaired the usefulness of the
I animal, and bulls frequently were
called upon to make the sacrifice. Such
horns were easily obtained and
wouldn't rust and could be carried In
j the rain and through streams without
j the powder In them getting wet.
They were always worn under the
? left arm by a strap that went over the
j right shoulder, the curve in the horn
' conforming to the shape of the body
snd serving to keep It out of the way
of the wearer. There was a stopple in
the small end. and without being un
*lung the powder could be poured into
the right hand and thence Into the gun.
! Boiled, scraped and cleaned and col
' ored with an orange or yellow dye.
which was the way most of the pow
i derhorns were prepared, they lent
themselves more readily to ornamenta
tion by the owner than did any other
part of his equipment, and It Is thto
fact which has made them particularly
, interesting as historical relics. Admir
ing friends in the days when powder
horns were in general use instead of
presenting a hero with an engraved
sword gave him a finely decorated
powderboro.
Sometimes the horns were made to
; order and the engraving done by pro
fessionals. Many of these horns were
i beautifully colored, the most, popular
?bade being a sort or orange tint.
Porbaits the most remarkable exam
ples of tbe engraving are'^o be seen
on the geographical' horn* <?rboM pic
tures appear In tbe Greaawood colec
tlon. These geographical horns took
the plncc of pocket map# Mr the early
pioneer*. They were the work ftf pro
fessional engravers In places like New
York and Boston.
Some of the horns In the collection
contain practically complete maps of
'the old trails and waterways. One of
tbe best of these bears tbe date of
1707 and shows New York with Its
harbor (Hied -with shlps-and New York
?state as far as Lake Champlata tad
Ontario. Tbe Hudson valley, with* its
settlements, appears on moat of the
ceographlcal boms discovered. One
horn shows the country between Elli
nbethtown and Pittsburg, each little
settlement being carefully noted.
The horns thus filled a double pur
pose. supplying the traveler wHt a
map and carrying his. powder for htm.
One of the best specimens In tbe col
lection shows Havana, as weli as the
trail from Albany to Oswego. It Is
t)dleved to have been owned by a sol
dier In the English army which cap
tured the Cuban city and who later
| served In the colonies. ? Washington

FAMOUS m ARTIST

who was born In Berne tn 1T00 afld
j died In I/ondon In Wf*\ and who. dur
ing tbo a for my time of the Kvaoch rev
olutlon, modeled tn wax some of the
heads that fell by the guillotine.
Marie Gresholtx waa the daughter of
nn a Id-de-camp of General Wurmser
In the Seven Years' war. She wai
l>orn after the death of her father.
Her mother was the slater of Dr.
John Chrlatopher Curtlus of Berne.
Thla Dr. Curtlus had made many
anatomical and other models tn was
ami had attracted the attention Of the
Prince de Coat! This nobler* an urged
Curtlus to come to Paris and establlab
himself as a modeler In wax.
The Curtlus sttMMo became the ren
dezvous of the fashionable world, and
In connection with this be had a muse
um of curiosities. Among his patrons
were Voltaire, Jean Jacques, Rous
Beau. Mosmer, M Ira beau. Diderot, Ben
jamin Kraukllu, Paul June* and many
other notable persons.
In hts visits to hla stater at Bern*
Dr. Curtlus had taught ManWce. Karl*,

wax. She showed such ability In thla
that her uncle orgW her mother to
make a home with him In Pari* and to
allow him to adopt Marie as his daugh
ter.
Marie began earnest study with Dr.
Curtlus, and she was ao skillful In
the modeling of wax flowers that thts
art became a crate. Even the royal
personages In the palace took It up.
and Marie spent some time giving les
sons to Mme. Kliaabeth, The young sis
ter of Louip XVI.
When the revolution broke out Dr.
Curtlus took the side of tbr people and
sent for Marie to come from the pal
ace. It was rather singular that two
of his wajt models should have played
a foremost part tn the opening scenes
of that awful period. In hts collec
tion of models waa a bust of the min
ister, Necker, father of Mme. de Stael.
and one of l'hltippe, duke of Or
leans. Two days before the storming
of the Bastille a ?oob took these two
buret- from his museum In the Palais
Royal, draped them In black crape to
ehow their sympathy and started to

been called to model the beads of
many who fell by the guillotine. She
was obliged to take them Just after the
fall of the fatal knife. She did this
awful work with the bends of poor
Marie Antoinette and of the Princess
Lamballe. the queen's friend. When
