ALL FOR HoNoR.-A correspondent of the Balti-
more Patriot gives the following account Of the origin
oft afray between Elliott and Kendall.
"The quarrel began in this way they invited Elliott
to go with them and roll ten pins. He declined, be-
cause, he said, he had been there once and the Alley
was taken away from him before he had finished roll
ing Kendall then told him loosely that if he had not
been coward he would not have let any body take
the alley from him. Elliott thereupon called Kendall
liar! Upon this they were about to fight when Bal
ley interposed and prevented their doing so. Some
angry words passed after this which caused Bailey to
strike Elliott The parties then separated, and met a
again in about an hour afterwards when the fatal af
fray occurred"
Buffalo, August 2l.-Among the interesting scenes
at the gathering upon the Reservation yesterday none
seemed more affecting than the respect paid by Indi-
ans, from Distance to the graves of their kindred
which they had left behind them, but whose memories
they cherish with great care and socitude.
While wandering through the buyng- ground, which
is but short way from the place where the council was
held my attention was attracted by an Indian woman,
who was weeping over the grave at the head of which
she Stood It was learned from herhusband, who re-
manned short distance apart that other child. Many
years had passed since the separation had taken place.
No stone marked where her treasure was laid but the
Indian mother well remembered the spot.
No one could doubt the sincerity Of her grief she
Stunned all observation, and appeared DESTROYS of pay
ing it may be, this last tribute of affection, in silence
and alone.
Sad indeed, must be the departure of these sons of
the Forest from the graves oheir children fearing too
as they do that but short time will eapse before they
will be desecrated and destroyed.
And while we indulge the hope that the removal
VIII be beneficial to them nation cannot refrain
from sympathizing with them in the many heart-rend-
ing and melancholy separations which must be caused
by it.-PHOt.

mercan Board for the financial year which terminated
July 81 from all sources were 1855 II2 The expend-
lures during the same PERIOD together with the debt
of the previous year, were S237,8l7. The balance on
hand therefore, at the commencement Ofthe new year,
was 1906 The excess of the receipts of the past
year over those of the preceding year, Is owing to the
unusually large amount of the egacies. The income
from this source in 1913 amounted to $lG,446; while
in 1844--5 it has been S32437.
