A Talk With Bishop Whippls.

New York Special: Bishop H. B. Whip
pie OF Minnesota, passed through this city
recently on hie way to Chicago to attend
the Episcopal convention. To reporter
he said, after stating some facts already
familiar TO Northwestern readers: The
1900 Indians on the White Earth reserva-
ton are all civiised. processing Christian
faith. There are two missions, one Roman
Catholic and the other Episcopal The
Indians are about equally divided between
the two. This year they raised 10000
bushels Of wheat, 10000 bushels OF oats
and other crops in proportion. They have
altogether /, 200 head ofcattle. White Earth
reservation comprises thirty-six townships.
and is beyond question the most beautiful
district in Minnesota. The Indians living
there are anxious that their fellows should
come among them, believing that the re-
suit would be as beneficial as it has proved
to them. The Chippewas in Northern Min
nesota are depraved lot-all but the Red
Lake Indians. They are very superior
tribe, and will be allowed to retain their
old reservation. I believe now that the
first successful step has been taken; that a
policy has commenced for which the friends
OF the Indian have long labored, providing
for them individual rights OF property, the
protection of laws, and means OF civiliza-
tion.

The biennial report on the schools OF
Vermont, presented to the legislature
at it's late meeting shows that the edu-
cational system Of the State is retro
grading rather than improving. In
1880 the number OF children enrolled
in school at some time during the year
was rs, 952, while ia 1855 it has sunk
to 70, 667. As the last census showed
SO, 1853 persons of school age, it fol-
lows that only 70 per cent. az the chill
dren now enter a public school,
against more than ~ per cent. six
years ago. The superintendent, how
ever, states that the average attend.
ance is only IS per cent. Of those en-
rolled. It is presumed, though it is
not stated in the report, that the
small average attendance is on ac-
count Of the increased number OF
scholars in parochial and private
schools.

Gently distributed in San Francisco
among school children. They are to
be carefully nursed, and next month
to be set where they can develop into
valuable timber. It is the intention
to make tree-culture success in this
great Pacific State, and to this end
the distribution just mentioned is to
be annual. Kept up for q few genera
tions, it is more than probable that
the California waste places will become
fertile, and that deserts will become
meadows.

that the establishment of the eight

which will not inhict injury on either

the establishment OF the system can

October, 8, 1871, fifteen years ago,
Chicago was wrapped in flames. It's
banks, it's hotels, its business houses,
its churches and thousands of it's
homes were swept away by fire. The
losses in property amounted to $780,
100000, and bankruptcy and de-
struction swallowed up many of its
most interesting trades and industries.
To-day there is scarcely q visible
trace of the great confagation, and
the city is now rebuilt, safer, stronger
and more magnificent, than any one
could have dreamed Of previous to the
awful disaster.

The Railroad Gazette, which is one
of the most thoroughly practical
journals in the country, discusses the
decrease in our food exports, and
shows that notwithstanding the great
number of new farms grain produc-

age the production has been about the
same for the past six years, but the
consumption has increased faster
than the production OF food.

In sensible sermon to his people
Rev. Alexander Crummell, rector of
St. Luke's, Atlanta, Ca, recently
called attention to the fact that twen-
ty years ago not more than 10000
colored people in the South could
read, while now there are cover a
million" colored children attending
school. He insisted on common
sense in common schooling and urg-
ed his congregation not to aspire to
fancy culture until they were sure
they had trade or other means of
self-support- This advice is good for
other localities than Atlanta and 9th
er races than the African.

Destruction Of Sabine Pass in Texa,


The following account of the destruction
from Galveston:
The waters began to invade the town
from the gulf, and the lake together and
rose with great rapidity. The citizens OF the
doomed town did not realize the danger I'M
iltoo late to escape. People who were stu
ated SO they could do SO betook them
selves to houses and resorts adjudged to be
safest. The water kept rising, and between
3 and o'clock the smaller houses began
toyield to the resistless force OF the waves,
and not only moved from their
foundations, but turned on their
sides and tops. Later the large
houses began to give way, and death
by drowning seemed certain for every citi-
smaller houses persons who had rem aimed
in them were drowned, and when resi-
dences and business places began to
crumble the fatality began to double.
The following is an incomplete list OF the
drowned:
Miss Mahata Chambers; Jim Vonsey and
family OF six; Mrs. Otto Brown and two
children; Homer King, wife and child;
Mrs. Junker and son; Mrs. Pomeroy
and family OF five; Mrs. Stewart, daugh-
ter and son; q man named Wilson; Mrs.
Arthur McReynolds; Mrs. Mcdonald.
daughter and grandson; Frank Mulligan
and family; Columbus Martee and family;
and about twenty-five colored people
above list comprises over fifty victims oil
the storm, among them some leading fam.
lilies OF the place. There are others, and
many of them, doubtless, drowned with
out anyone now living knowing anything
about it.

dispatch contained the following state.
ment:
One OF the late rulings, and one in direct
conflict with that of any predecessor since
the enactment of the homestead law s that
married women, who after taking their
claims marry, forfeit all rights, and
the land reverts to the govern
| ment. Within a radius OF thirty miles OF
| this place it is stated that to-day there are
| ninety-three claims taken by women, and
that out OF that number over eighty are
now living on and improving their land.
Many thousand acres are being thus i'm.
proved, and the residents thereon do not
propose to submit to Sparks decree.
The commissioner said:
Yes, l did make such ruling have
no doubt, although I do not re.
member it now. OF course il an
unmarried woman takes up q homestead
and then marries and brings her husband
to live with her on the claim, have no
doubt she could prove up in good faith
and secure her homestead; but when a

under the law. complete her holding. God
Almighty and the law say her home is
where her husband is, and it is not logical
to say she has a home or residence on
her entry as contemplated by law. The

lied when he wrote it, and he knew he

belonging to honest settlers. don't think
they intend to be dishonest, but are led
into it by sharpers and land attorneys,
who tell them it is easy enough to get a
claim. They take up piece Of land, put
up an 8x6 shack, with board roof and
shingle at each end, to carry out the law;
go out there and stay Saturday and Sum
day and come back to their schools Mon
day, and call that residence. That is
the sort OF thing am trying to break up
to save this land for the man who has a
; family and will become an actual settler
and farmer.

DISCOVERED At LAST.
Arrest In Chicago Of .tBohby'' Adsns, the IA.
Who Plundered the Minneapolis Postofnce.

VINO k1U000I00 INC M100c8p0U0 tO3COmC9e
A Chicago Dispatch Of the 18th says:
The Minneapolis postofice robbery has
at last been thoroughly cleared up. The
prime mover, principal character, planner
and executor of the robbery is in the tolls,
having been arrested by Detective Marks
and Granger on West Washington street.
His name is Bobby Adams. Although
q young man, he is known all over the
United States and England as one OF the
most adroit burglars and safe blowers with
whom the officials had to dealin ten years.
Adams is as well known in New York as
Chicago. He it was who first conceived the
plot to rob the Minneapolis postofice. Be
fore doing this, however, he is said to have
come to Chicago and arranged with T. J..
Finnucane to handle and negotiate the
stamps after the robbery. David Shanna-
han, in the South town assessors Office,
and a Mr.. Noyes were also said to be inn
plicated in the scheme. At any rate. after
the discovery OF the steal and the recovery
OF the stamps they were arrested. but subse-
quently released on their own recognizance.
Finnucane is still in jail. These three men
have been SO assiduously pumped by the
officers that a "squeaW was made and
Bobby Adams was the person incrim-
mated. He will be turned over to the

Six years ago Adams, at that time nine
teen years of age, was shot and danger.
ously wounded while committing a burglary
at Allegheny City. He escaped for time,
but was afterwards caught and given four
years in the Pennsylvania penitentiary.
After getting out he did some clever work
in New York city and came to Chi
cago, where he lived luxuriously for five
months. He then turned several
tricks" here, and was arrested. The
case was a hard one to prove, and he got
off light. He then went East and to Eng
land, returning comfortably fixed as to
wealth. His fast life. however, soon squan-
dered his stealings, and again he took to
the field. Nothing was then heard OF him
until the $14, 900 stamp robbery in Mime
apolis, and now that his ''pal" has
"peached" on him, he will probably own
up to the whole affair. He is said by the
detectives to have the finest set OF bur-
glars tools ever manufactured. Adams
was taken before Commissioner Hoyne
and held in So, 900 bail.
