ONLY A DISPATCH BOAT
I Why the Cruiser Bancroft Was
Sent to Constantinople.
SHE WILL NOT AOT AS GUARDSHIP
All Sensational Stories Regarding the Baby
of the American Navy Are Set at Rest
by Washington Oiticials —The State De
partment Made No Demand on the Turk
ish G over n men t.
Washington, Oct. 10. The little
cruiser Bancroft, which the Turkish
government made haste to shut out of
the Dardanelles, was sent to the Medi
terranean merely to act as a dispatch
boat for the United States squadron in
those waters.
It is stated upon authority that she
was not started with the intention that
she should serve as a guardship for the
American legation at Constantinople.
She will not enter the Bosphorus, nor
will this government even make a re
quest that she be permitted to pass
through the strait of Dardanelles.
The sole purpose of ordering the baby
warship to the Levant was that she
might be a means of communication be
tween the vessels of Admiral Selfridge’s
fleet, whieh are nearly always separated
from 500 to 1,000 miles.
When asked concerning the reported
intervention of Russia to influence the
sultan to refuse the Bancroft admit
tance to the Bosphorus, Assistant Stere-
♦ tary Rockbill said the state department
had made no request of that character
which could be refused, that the vessel
was not destined for Constantinople,
but simply ordered to join
ranean fleet and make itself of practical
utility to the vessels oh that station.
The business of the legation will be con
ducted, as heretofore, without the pres
ence of a guardship.
This authoritative statement seems to
settle the object of the Baueroft’s long
yogage and set at rest all the sensa
tional stories that have from time to
time been printed as to the determina
tion of this government to have a vessel
* in the Bosphorus for the protection of
the legation and to remove the minister
himself in the event of an emergency.
A RICH MAN’S QUEER STORY.
Charles Montgomery Sara He W»« Kid
naped and Threatened With Meath,
San Francisco, Oct. 10 —Such a story
as millionaire James Campbell told and
. proved against Oliver Winthrop, is now
told by Charles Montgomery, proprietor
of the Brooklyn, who is a man of means,
position and high reputation. This kid.
naper, however, planned more wisely
than Winthrop, executed more skilfully,
reaued a substantial reward for his
erime and has gone scot free.
For more than a' year Montgomery
has held peace ami kept his pledge of
secrecy, and no one but his wife and his
lawyer has known that ho was the vic
tim of an astonishing piece of villainy
and that he paid a large sum of money
--said to be $11)9,000—to his captor as
me price or uperty ana personal secu
rity.
The Chronicle publishes a sensational
story to the effect, that a year ago last
July Montgomery had been lured at
midday into a vacant house in the most
populous part of the city and had been
held a prisoner and threatened with
torture and death, and that he finally
agreed to pay his jailer the sum he de
manded within a specified time after he
was released, had sworn not to betray
the robber and has paid the money as
he promised.
In an interview upon the subject,
Montgomery said that his reason for
not having given publicity to the ca=e
at an earlier date was that his jailer
had threatened to kill him if he made
the matter public.

THE PUEBLO WOMEN.
Pretty and Picturesque as Girls and State
ly as Young Mothers.
‘‘The Pueblo Indian women are often
very pretty as girls, and some of them
make stately young mothers, ” writes
Hamlin Garland it Ladies' Home Jour
nal. “They work g?uerally in groups of
three or four, cocking, whitewashing,
weaving or painting pottery. They seem
to have a good deal to chatter abont,
and their smiling faces are very agree
able. They have most excellent w bite
teeth. Their ceremonial dress is very !
picturesque, especially the costume of
the Aconia and Isletagiris. All burdens
are carried by the women of Aconia,
leleta and Laguna upon the head, and
they have, in consequence, a maguifi- ,
cent carriage even late in life. The ok',
women or waipi, on rae contrary, are
bent and do-wn looking. They carry
their burdens on their backs slung in a
blanket. The girls of Isleta wear a light
I cloth over their heads, Spanish fashion,
I and manage it with fine grace and co
quetry.
“The everyday dress of the Hopi
women consists of a sort of kilt, which
is wrapped around the hips and fastened
with a belt, a modification of the blan
ket or wolf skin. Above this a sort of
sleeveless chemise partly' covers the
bosom. Their hair is carefully tended,
but is worn in an ungraceful mode by
some of the women. The women of
Hano cut the hair in front square across
about to the line of the lips, while the
back hair is gathered into a sort of
billet. The front hair hangs down over
the faces, often concealing one eye. The
unmarried women in Walpi wear their
hair in a strange way. They coil it into
two . big disks just above their ears,
‘the intent being to symbolize their
youth and promise by imitating' the
squash flower; the matrons correspond
ingly dress their hair to symbolize the
ripened squash. ’ Some of the maidens
are wonderfully Japanese in appear

A CURIOUS OLD LADY.
Parsimonious In Her Own A flairs, Y’et Lav
ish With Others.
When Henri Rochefort planned the
erection of a workman’s glass works at
Carmaux to help the glass workers, ho
received an anonymous gift of 100,000
francs. The donor was Mme. Dim bourg,
who has since died at Boulogne, aged
72. She was a curious old lady, wildly
generous, yet careful to miserliness,
sending her gift to the glass works
anonymously and then complaining
when her name was omitted from the
stone bearing a list of subscribers. She
lived in an unpretentious house, fur
nished in the plainest fashion, boarded
up every scrap of paper and bit of rag
she found, yet helped all whose want
came to her ears. She sent 1,000 francs
here, 3,000 there, while her own serv
ants could scarcely get enough to eat,
and their wages were extremely small.
The money for the glass works was sent
in a small linen bag. comparatively
worthless, which no one thought Os re
turning to her.
She sent a servant to claim it, how
ever, and was greatly annoyed that it
had not been sent back. She was very
fond of cats, but even ths food of her
pets was measured out with a niggardly
hand, and the youngest kitten had its
milk in the cover of a pomade pot that
it might not drink too much. During
her last illness she scolded the nurse for
rinsing a glass with filtered water.
“Filtered water wears out the
You must be more economical. ” Yet

own concerns, lavished benefits on the
poor wherever she found them and
made princely gifts out of a life annuity
