July.

An Astonished Indian Commissioner
Paint and Feathers at Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 18th Indian Com
missioner Price had a. surprise this morning.
Three runaway Indians from Chippewa, Wis
consin. accompanied by an interpreter all in
paint and feathers, marched into his Office un-
announced, and squatted unceremoniously for
pow-wow. The four arrived last night and
went to the Fremont House, announcing that
they had come to see The Great Father"
They registered as Ben New Mexico, inter
prefer; Charles Coulter. Mack Koon and
Scarbare Wrist. Commissioner Price was
astonished when they appeared before
him. The interpreter stated that they repre-
sented 175 families, who had sent them to
Washington in hopes of securing new reseT-
vation. This particular tribe is especially well
provided for, and have more land in their pres
ent reservation than they have actual use for.
The Commissioner thus addressed his visit
ors "You can get no lands here, and
think you had better go back and work your
corn and potatoes. There is more for In
dians to do besides hunting and fishing.
They should raise products from the soil and
learn to work, as [ have done many times,
with their hands and arms, and become re-
spectacle citizens. The buffalo are all gone,
and your own sense should teach you that it
is time tosthrow off these feathers and rings
and devote your time to earning living in
some other way. This running over the
country won't do. You are well provided
IL,
ington, and you must go back and SO inform
your people," Ben New Mexico enlightened
his companions as to the reception accorded
and the emphatic language of the Commits
sioner. The only response was an occasional
"Ugh !" and dissatisfied shake of the head.
They were at once sent back to their hotel,
with O repeated admonition to go home at
oace.

gathered While they were wondering and
speculating upon the sickening sight, Ger

come across the deceased, who gave him the
name of Hugo Van Malapert, and who said
he was shipping clerk for firm at 176 East
Adams street. Malapert proposed that they
take walk up to the tower, which they did.
As they were coming down, and had made
about third of the distance, Malapert said

and went back while his companion
waited. He was gone so long that Gangelin

Finding no signs of him, he quickly ran
down, and found that Malapert had jumped
from the top of the tower-l90 feet--to the
ground, and lay dead on the grass at the foot
of the tower. The suicide caused little stir
at first, but il was soon learned that Mala-
pert was connected with one of the oldest and
noblest families of Germany that his family
name was Neuville that his father is Cham.

brother is now compagnon du voyage with
one of the Emperor's sons on the steamer
Primrose Edeiburg, which is making trip
around the world, and is now on the Pacific;
