FROM an article in that admirable publiea-
tion, the American Journal of the Medical
Sciences, we gather some gloomy facts rela-
tive to the aborigines of the Sandwich Is.
lands. The population of this group, which
in 1885 was 130.313, has decreased to $685.
in 1878. In the former number there were
very few persons of foreign birth or origin
+ In 1878 this class numbered 10,47T. 1t fol-
lows that the aborigines, who amounted to
about 10000 half a century ago wtre in
1878 reduced to 47,50S. There is every indi-
cation that in short time they will become
extinct. One of the agencies which are ex-
terminating them is leprosy, with which
about one in every twenty is affected. Only
one-half of these are under Government
control and kept apart; the remainder con-
tribute to spread the disease. 1t is believed
to have been introduced from China about
forty years ago. There is a considerable an
nual immigration into the islands, consist
ing mainly of Chinese, Portuguese, Norwe-
gians and Italians.
THE island on which Columbus landed on
the memorable 11th of September, 1892, was
called G1anahani by the aborigines, and re-
named San Salvador by its discoverer. 1t
was undoubtedly one of The Bahamas, but
which is not certain. Heretofore claims
have been put forward for Grand Turk, Mar
iguana, Cat Island, and WatIing's Island
That Cat Island was the place was the con-
clusion of Washington Irving and Alexander
Humboldt. Captain Becher and some other
eminent recent investigators think it was
Watling's Island. Ia the last volume issued
by the United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey, the SUBJECTS exhaustively examined
In a memoir by Captain G. V. Fox, who in
clines to the opinion that the island known
as SANTANA or Atwood Cay, is the spot. Part
of the difficulty in settling the question arises
from the fact that Columbus kept false log
on his voyage in order that his sailors might
not know how far they were from home
OHIO politics are beginning to warm up
again. A Governor is to be elected this
paign will come on next spring, there is a
good deal of skirmishing for position.
There are men enough in both parties who
want the place, but not every one who ap-
plies for it is available" Ohio is a big
State, its politicians are grouped in numer-
Gus sectional and personal cliques, and, be-
sides the Presidency, Senatorship is de-
pendent, to some extent, on the issue next
autumn. Hence the early appearance of
plots, counterplots and roorbacks is not re-
markable Some State issues are probably
involved in the canvass, but nobody has yet
discovered what they are.

Cut Rates in Marriage Fees,
From the Chicago Herald

1t was funny group that stood before
Harry Donovan's window yesterday after
noon waiting for a marriage license. 1t
was composed of six Indians, three men
and three omen, all apparently OF the
poorest class. but yet all evidently having
a little money The women had shawls
over their heads, ard if any one had in
his soul any romantic notions about the
dark eyed daughters of sunny Italy the
appearance of these three would have
dispelled them. Only one of the party
could speak good English, and he was a
young lad, apparently about 10 years.
Are you going to get married?" asked
he reporter.

"Why how was that?'
"Weh, don't know. came here, and
then they sent me somewhere else, and

Probate Court to get guardian"

TO the bridegroom.
After a short consultation, the license
having been obtained, the party marched
off to private office, where the ceremony
was performed in double quick time, and
the bridegroom handed over SIS to the
Bishop, who, however, took a mean
advantage of him. for he insisted on giving
the change to the bride. The party,
however, went away well pleased, and
doubtless very soon were enjoying theil
maccaroni and red wine, congratulatine
themselves that they had saved So and q

The Dubuque Times says the Josie left
for St. Paul Thursday morning, While
lying at the levee difficulty occurred,
from which, as we gather the facts, were
about as follows: A number of the crew
who had been working ON the Libbie
Conger for 1926 per month, appeared in the
cabin of the Josie, to which steamer the
crew had been transferred and demanded
an increase of wages to $45. This demand
Captain Corbett refused to accede. to,
when one of the crew seized hold of the
captain roughly and began to shove him
about. The noise occasioned by the scuffle
was heard by the mate, Larry Brennan,
who, seizing club rushed up stairs to
render assistance to the captain. Arriv-
ing on the scenehe struck the first roust-
about he encountered who was engaged
in the melee, telling him to the deck, in
fiicting scalp wound, from which he
shortly recovered and went to work The
mate was arrested and was fined for as
sault and battery 80 by Justice Quigley.
He was subsequently rearrested by the
United States authorities and placed under
81 600 bonds for trial under the United
States law for deadly assault. The bonds
were furnished and the arrested man re-
leased The injured mans name is Allen,
and to make sure Of his appearance at the
trial he was put in Jail together with the
witnesses.

A FAITHLESS EMPLOYEE.
He Sells His Employers Mules and then
Skips.

Albert Anderson is the name of a man
that was in the employ of A. G. Shatfer,
manager of the tin store next door to Al
derman Henry's store on Second avenue.
He was engaged to peddle tin ware
through the country He started out on
a trip some time ago, aud did not again
put in an appearance, which caused MIR.
Schaffer much uneasiness, and he started
out in search of the man. Anderson, who
had determined to turn rascal, meanwhile
disposed of the mules to DIR. Cook, of
Calamus, for $65. He left the harness and
wagon at Wheatland. Alvin Hellsnom,
who is also peddling for Mr.. Schaffer,
accidentally discovered the mules in a
pasture, and notified the city marshal of
Calamus, who took them in charge.
Alderman Henry received a telegram
for Mr. Schafer today, Gated from Cedar
Rapids in which he stated that he had
yet received no clew of his property.
Mr.. Henry had barely received the tele-
gram, when Hellstrom, the man who dis
covered the mules in the pasture, arrived
in town and impaired the information as
given above. Alderman Henry therefore
telegraphed Mr.. Schafer the welcome
news at Cedar Rapids, who will probably
go direct to Calamus and secure his
property. No clue can befound in regard
to the whereabouts of the man Anderson

A Horse Thief.

Fred Bohenson, young man who has
been in the employ of the ice firm of

off and discharged on Thursday The
cause of his discharge was his continually

Hanson visited his barn to see if Bohenson
was sleeping there, and was surprised
when he found the door open and one of
his horses missing. About midnight Mr..
Hanson found policeman, to whom he
gave notice of the stealing, and
the adjoining towns were mo-
titled by telephone of ~the fact
and to be on the watch for the horse a
description of BoheIsen was telephoned
also. Marshal Kittleson, and Isaac Han
son, at once set out in pursuit. At the

horse had been captured at that place.
The dispatch did not say whether the man
was captured or not Bohenson is the
