DIultnomn.il Stood Firm. He has Just spoken for peace, and the Indian chiefs had listened to him with grim awe, as he foretold mysteri ous, terrible calamity for the Willam ettes and, by the magic sweetness of his tones, had turned their superstitious na tures away from the fierce and passionate lust for war. Multnomah alone remained firm. Implacable, resistless of will, scorn ful of fear, clothed In the all-compelling majesty of his Indomitable personality; standing stolidly Immovable as a statue, he reminds them. In burning words, of the ancient tradition that the Wlllamettcs will retain their supremacy as long as the bridge of rock made by the Great Spirit continues to span the Columbia. While this remains and It shows no signs of crumbling they have nothing to 1 fear. It Is this moment of Multnomah's speech that Mr. Rollins has chosen for his picture. The war-chief carried his point, as the story goes. But after he had wreaked his bloody vengeance upon the rebels, and by hi3 sagacity and powerful, des potic will, had crushed the uprising, a strange thing happened: The Propnet's warning of a mysterious, threatening doom that hung over the Wlllamettcs was fulfilled. There was a terrible shak ing of the earth, accompanied by thun der and lightnings and bellying outpour ings of smoke and flame from 'Mount Hood. The bridge of rock that spanned the Columbia, where now are the- Cas cades, fell, and with it disappeared for ever the mighty dominion of the Wlllam ettcs. The -proud tribe quickly degener ated, and the blood of the ancient race now flows, mixed and debased, in the veins of abject and squalid descendants. The splendid richness of color that the completed painting will offer the spec tator will be one of Its chief attractions-. Mr. Rollins had. of late, shown a deposi tion to break away from the soft, low lights of misty, translucent grays and browns, for which he has always evinced such fondnc-fs, and devote himeel' to stud ies in colors. This, in several Instances, he has done, with remarkable success. And certainly he hois a tempting opportu nity In the present picture. The circle of haughty, swarthy chiefs, each garbed In a brilliantly stained blanket, or the richest In robes of fur, with bristling headdresses of feathers of the yellow-hammer, make a notable group. Circlets of gold clasp the bare arms of Multnomah, and about his neck he wears a collar of grizzly bear claws. His One License. Behind him Is an Indian tepee, outlined against the brilliant sunset glow of an evening sky. Only In this one point does Mr. Rollins allow himself any licence, for the Indians always held their councils in the daytime; but to avail himself of the beauty of the sunset tints, he has ex tended the time to early evening. Shad ing Into purple In the background are the gnarled and ancient cottonwoods, so well known to every frequenter of Sauvie's Island, and In the foreground le an ex panse of meadow land, showing the soft and tender hues of Oregon's spring time. Bancroft's h'story. which Is peculiarly rich In minor descriptive details, has fur nished Mr. Rolllre with much of the his torical material for his painting. The collection of relics belonging to the Ore gon Historical Association has also been of great cervlce. In his private research es, he has received valuable a'd from Captain Edward Chambreau. now of Vortland, formerly a French scout who wao with General Howard, and lived with the Indians 50 years; also from Silas D. Smith, of Warrenton. who Is well versed In Indian lore, his mother having been the daughter cf a famous chief of the Clatsops. Bobalway. who was so inti mately connected with the beg'nnings of Oregon history. Myriad of Suni. There is a quite evident conspiracy on the part of the telescope and camera to belittle this infinitesimal speck of cos mic dust on which we live, and they are succeeding, says the New York Herald. It was bad enough to knock the earth out of his position as the center of the uni verse, but now he is being relegated to a position that, astronomically, seems wor thy of very little attention.

EARLY AMERICAN PLAYS. First Drnmntic Performance In A'ew "World. Was In Mexico. The latest publication of the Dunlap So ciety, which is the 10th of the new series, says the New York Dramatic Mirror, is a compilation of the titles of plays by American authors, published and per formed In America between the years 1714 and 1830. The volume Is entitled "Early American Plays." The compilation was made by Oscar Wegelln, and Is edited by John Malcne, who has written a moat comprehensive Introduction to the work. "Indeed, this Introduction is so broad in scope, so scholor.y, and withal so Interest ing," says the Mirror, "that It would seem worthy of separate publication as a brief "history of the drama and an estimate of the drama's Importance In the world's development." According to Mr. Malone, the earliest dramatic performances In the New World were given at Tlaxcala, Mexico. In 1533, under the direction of Fray Toriblo de Bcmevonte. The French In Louisiana also presented plays long before the estab lishment of the Eng.lsh drama in Ameri ca. Later in has essay the author says: "The only theater In the United States which has preserved the dignity and the traditions of a well-organized stock com pany of skilled and able actors is a mod est little German house In New York City, where a few people of taste in the metrop olis have come to learn, with shame for their time and language, that the best performances on the American stage are given In German." The English-speaking stage in America was Inaugurated on September 5. 1872, with the performance of "The Merchant of Venice," at WQiamsburg, Va. Prior to this time, several plays had been written by American authors, but they were In tended rather for the library than the stage. With the beginning of the theater In the colonies, fresh Interest In playwrit ing was awakened and native authors sought to make practical dramas for the use of the few pioneer companies of play ers. In view of the small chances for pro duction and the Inartistic spirit of the time, the number of plays written In the half century covered by Mr. Wegelln's list is remarkable. Many of them were never acted, and scarcely any of them are of value save as dramatic curios'ties at the present time. The list is, however, most Interesting to the student of the drama, and in publishing it the Dunlap Society has paid a graceful tribute to the vanguard of American playwrights whose names and works are now almost forgot ten. FROM "SAWDUST TOWNS." Manj- CIrcns Acrobats Hull From the Lnmber Districts. Where do all the acrobats and tumbler? come from? Where do they learn their trade? There Is no school, as such, for the training of men who imperil their limbs for a living. An old acrobat solved these questions when he told the New York Herald where he had learned to leap and turn springs in the air and fall on the back of his neck without Injuring himself. Accord ing to him, most of the circus acro bats, and not a few of the rough and tumble comedians of the stage, who have graduated from the ring, were reared and learned the rudiments of their busi ness in the lumber towns of the North west. In the "business" these are known as "sawdust towns." on account of the saw mills, which are their chief Industry.

From out of them all there generally rise two or three boys who get the knack of the acrobatic feats, and these work In constant rivalry, each try ing to excel the other. One day along comes a circus, and the best boy tumbler applies for a job and shows what he can do. Perhaps he Is given a chance as a "top mounter," or the top man In a pyramid act, because he Is light and active. When he gets older, heavier and stronger, he may become an "understander," or one of the men who helps to hold a mountain of men on his shoulders. And thus he gets into the show business. If he works hard and studies he may become a good acrobat in time. But he got his start on a sawdust pile. TALLEST AMERICAN ACTRESS. Favorite Model of Scnlptor for God desses of Liberty. The tallest woman on the American stage, according to the Saturday Evening Post, Is Miss Mary Tull, who, besides her decided histrionic talent, has won world wide fame as the favorite model of some of the foremost American sculptors for their recent Goddesses of Liberty. Miss Tull's height, which Is considerably over six feet, naturally limits her field of en deavor on the stage, but In her especial line of parts. It is not exaggerating to say that she stands head and shoulders above her rivals. On a Western tour some time ago a programme printer misspelled her name, calling her "Miss Mary Tall." The man agement at first declined to pay the print ing bill, but after the programme man. who was also the manager of the local theater, had visited the show and seen the actress, he refused to deduct a cent, claiming that If Tall was not her name. It ought to be. Last Fall, In New York. Miss Tull was photographed as the Goddess of Liberty, in a Broadway studio, and In answer to a telephone call she hastily left the gal lery and went into the adjoining building, neglecting, meanwhile, to remove her classic draperies. As she stepped on the street a small crowd gathered to view the unusual sight. She was only In evidence a fraction of a minute, and then she re turned. A man asked a boy what the ex citement was. He replied: "They've moved the Bartholdi staruo from the bay and are making a picture of It In the gallery." His View of It. She I think It's a shame that so many of our society women are going on the stage. He Oh. I don't know! A woman Isn't to blame for trying to get up In the world. Chicago News.
