The revolving year has once more brought a
holiday that has secure hold on the American
people though its observance is not marked by
any well-defped rules. Possibly in time the
day may take a more settled character, but
whether ii does or not 1t Is safe to assume that
washington's Birthday will be honored SO long
a. the country endures. IL is fitting on this day
to refresh our knowledge of Washington's life
and services, for we cannot do so without an in
creased attachment to our national institu-
lions. And, happily, we can ut the same time

personal character. 1t was his character tow

Capt. Parkhurst put Mrs Rix and her chill

pocket handkerchief for bride. BY that
time the Indians had come up,and, unable

the party on horseback. hoping to save
himself with them. but his dog ran be-
tween his legs and threw him down, and
he then da she'd off into the woods at the
side Just as they were upon him, but he
managed to escape and hide in the dense
underground.
Poor Mrs. Parkhurst left alone with her
CRYING children stood almost stupid with
fright, until the Indians came then as
they came rushing in upon her, she be-
gan to scream and they took her eldest
boy and ordered her to leave the house;
and with five of her children she ran into
the woods back of the house and stayed
there safely until they were gone. The
Indians ran after the party on horseback
and took the son of Mrs. Rix, boy about
IA. lust at the heels of his mothers horse.
She saw it done but could not stop: but
what must the mother have felt-obliged
to save the three children she had with
her and yet seeing this dear boy who was
faint from long running fall into the
hands of the savages. His shrieks rang
in the air as his mother urged on the
horse she rode, and at every moment she
expected to fall off or to have one of her
children fall, which would be certain
death, either from the fall or from the
Indians. They pursued the women about
mile further when they reached the
house of a Mr.. Benedict There the In
dams stopped to tell Mr.. Benedict to come
to hem from the other side of the stream
called Broad Brook. but he ran and hid
himself under log and while he lay
there two of them stepped on
the log and he heard them say
that they would kill him if they found
him. But they didn't find him and went
to work to plumber his house. They went
about forty rods further down the river,
took man named Avery. and then re-
turned on their course. While the Indians
were plundering the house OF General
Stevens father-in-law, a son, Phineas, who
had gone to warn the people on the east
side of the river, as he turned to ford the
stream back again, saw the Indians at his
home. He turned but they saw him and

Yet he mounted a horse, and holding the

he got well and lived a great many years
after. His was one OF the wonderful

General " Booth, our latest distin-
guished visitor, is the sutocratic head
of great organization, and as such is
a man of Importance. At the recent
international Congress of the Salvation
Army, held id London, the following
figures were reported: The Army had
1852 army corps, and 1902 officers;
had held 5000 weekly, and l, 466, 400
daily services during the year, and
printed its newspaper in 10 languages.
General Booth originated it, con-
tinues to be its leader, and it will rest
upon him to appoint his successor.
The Salvation Army was founded
twenty lone years ago, by William Booth,
who was then living in the east of
London. He was assisted in its organi-
zation by his wife, who is his associate
in command" The movement grew
out of the conviction that the work of
the Protestant denominations as ordi-
narily conducted does not reach the
very poor and depraved, among whom
Mr. Booth and his wife had been work
ing for years. 1t was a strange depart
ure for a man who had begun life as q
member of the Church of England.
In his youth he joined the Wesleyan
Methodists, after experiencing CONVEX
sion. He was soon on the list of local
preachers belonging to that church. Mr..
Booth read theology with diligence and
was received into the ministry of the
Methodist New Connexion, body Of
Christians which originally split off from
parent Wesleyanism. In 1861 he re-
signed his ministerial position to engage
in missionary work among the degraded
poor of London. He is an able and
energetic man.
His mode of aggressive Christian
activity is by maintaining military dis
tinctions of rank, accompanied by the
insignia and uniform of soldiers life,
among his followers. All innocent
methods Of attracting the attention of
those who need religious instruction
are held to be advisable by General "
Booth and his Army. The motto
BLOOD and FireW is that on the
official seal of the organization.

Our Indian War.
GERONIMO,
THE HOSTILE APACHE CHIEFTAIN WHOM
OUR SOLDIERS FAIL To CAPTURE.

A force OF United States soldiers has
been operating against Geronimo, the
celebrated Chiricahua Apache chief; ain,
since May, 1885. With odds as to num-
bers aud material terribly against him,
the Indian has more than managed to
hold his own against his powerful ere
mics. A few months ago negotiations
were opered between him and General
Crook, and the hope was INDUCED that
the troublesome Apache would surrender
himself ard his little and to the United
States officers, but he dexterously made
off, and according to latest accounts is
In Mexico. probably two hundred miles
distant from any American troops.
There Is report that General Miles,
who succeeded General Crook in com
mand Of the Arizona Department OF the
Military Division of the Pacific, has sent
friendly Apaches with a message to Ge-
ronimo, proposing his surrender on con-
ditions favorable to him. There is not
much military glory in chasing Indians,
and putting an end 10 a wearisome cam
paigh in the way stated probably would
be a wise course.
Geronimo is said TO be a Mexican by
birth, but he Is manifestly an Indian in
blood. He Is INSCRIPTIONS and cruel.
Three years o he surrendered to the
United States troops after campaign
IN tho Sierra Madre, when the late
gallant Captain Crawford, at the head of
a force consisting Of one hundred and
fifty Apache scouts. defeated h m.
He is now suffering from a wo nded
arm, and the body Of forty Indians of
whom he is at the head are anxious to
return to their own country. Such is
he report, which certainly presents feat
ures favorable to the expectation that
the campaign against Geronimo is draw
ing to close. The women In his party
are armed with rifles, and are sal to be
as competent warriors as the men; but
as he forty persons under his leadership
include children, q conflict between them
and the United States cavalry could
hardly result in an Indian vict ry, and
continued retreat must be dull j b.
Should Geronimo again come under the
hand OF American power, 1t is to be oped
that he will be prevented the opportun-
ity to escal o from it and commit such
bio dy atrocities as are associatei with
his name,
