terrible tale of starvation and destitu-
tion among the Indians come from the
Peace River country. 1t comes in the form
OF petition to the Minister OF the Interior
for Canada and is signed by the Anglican
Bishop for that diocese. six clergymen and
mission aries. and several Justices OF the
Peace. 1t Is an official document passed by
the synod OF Athabasca Diocese. 1t sets
out that owing to the great mortality OF
beavers and other small game the Indians
both last winter and summer have been in
perpetual state OF starvation. Both the
food supply OF the Indians and their power
OF procuring clothing have been affected.
They are now In complete state OF desti-
tuition and unable to provide themselves
with clothing. ammunition. etc.. for the
winter. The petition says. among other
things: The scarcity has greatly decreased
the number OF their dogs (so necessary TO
the Indian for travelling and hunting). thus
seriously increasing the difficulty OF obtain
ing a livelihood. In the Mackenzie River
district there were several cases Of death
by starvation. and one or more OF canni-
balism. During last winter. among the Fort
Chippewa Indians. between twenty and
thirty starved to death. and the death of
others was accelerated by want of
food. A party OF about twenty Beaver
Indians had to be conveyed from Grand
Prairie, near Dunvegan. Peace River.

tainly have been starved to death but for

sionaries at those places--furnished often
at great personal inconvenience. Owing to
all these facts, scores of families. having
lost their heads by starvation. are now per-
fectly helpless. and must starve TO death or
eat one another unless help comes. People

MORMON EXHORTERS' VICTIMS.
Women and Young Girls Who Will Be
Sent Back to Europe.
New York dspatch1


A sad scene has just been enacted at
Castle Garden. Two gross. coarse. sensu-
ous-featured men. in greasy broadcloth
coats, paced up and down before the inclos-
ure of the landing bureau. casting anxious
glances at a group of twenty persons inside
until they were ordered to leave the Gar
den. They were w. G. Phelps and Henry
Walsh. Elders of the Mormon Church. and
the people huddling inside the inclosure
were part of a small army OF con-
verts whom they brought from England:
Most OF them will probably be returned
to their native land. One Swiss family
of seven people were bound for Idaho.
The father declared that he had been a
Mormon for twenty three years. The whole
family will be sent back. Hermenia Van
Lieben. from Holland, had three small chill
dren. and Maria Dextra, IA years old. had
left parents and friends in Holland to come
and join the Mormons. She Is unusually,
alarmingly precocious, and argued In be-
half OF Mormonism and even polygamy
with display OF knowledge startling In one
so young. These deluded people. who were
almost without money, will probably be re-
turned. But the saddest cases are
those of five little girls and three
boys who had come to America al
lured by these stories of the Mormon
exhorters. The children will probable
be sent on to San Francisco. whore they
have friends. A man named Howard. who
brought the children over. will be sent back

LYNCHING IN STEELYILLE, MO.
Lewis Davis, Who Murdered His Friend
and Neighbor, Hanged by Masked Men.

Lewis Davis, who was under indictment
for the murder of his friend and neighbor.
David Mills. was taken from Jail at Steel
Vile. Mo-. and lynched. The tragedy was
Of a sensational character. Davis. who had
been in st. Louis for safo-keeping for six
months. was returned to Steelville for trial.
His case was to have been called the morn
ing following his arrival. Three hours be-
fore daylight forty masked men rode into
the town. and, after placing pickets
on all the streets. leading TO the
jail, proceeded to attack the structure.
Tools were secured from n blacksmith
shop. and the do o5rs were soon battered
down. While the attack was in progress a
Deputy Sheriff and one guard were captured.
Davis fought like demon. He Knocked
down four OF the lynchers with a piece Of
ed-post. He was finally overpowered and
with rope around his neck was led out OF
town and lynched over the grave Of Pat
Wallace. who was lynched for the murder Of
the Logan family in 1886. Davis did not con-
fess The crime for which Davis was
lynched was committed January 2. Davis
and Miller started to town to pay their taxes.
Miller's body was found with a bullet in the
head and his pockets rifed. The bullet fitted
Davis pistol. IL was a peculiar rife bore.
and the circumstantial evidence was strong
against him.

not he smirched by political envy or malice
itself. In answering the charge that Mr..
Fuller was not we'll known, he said that the
new Chief Justice was exceedingly well
known i'm Chicago. and Cook County con-
tanned more than twice the population OF
Vermont. This subtle reference to Senator
Edmund's opposition was received with re-
peated cheers and clapping OF hands. The
speaker thought Mr. Fuller would be an
honor to the bench of the United States Su-
preme Court. and the banquet was COM

cheers for Mr.. Fuller. The cheers were
given with G. combination roar Of jury argu-
ment.
Mr.. Fuller's voice was soft and tremulous
when he arose. His eyes were in sympathy
with his voice. Mr.. Fuller ran briefly over
his experience with the early Chicago bar
When he mentioned the names of Lincoln
and Drummond the lawyers arose and
cheered until their throats were scorched
Many other names. as those OF Judge Cation
and Leonard SWEET, were also loudly ap-
plauded. He expressed his keen apprecia-
tion OF the honor conferred on him, which
he took as a recognition Of Chicago and the
great West rather than personal compli-
ment. When he took his seat the audience

very brief. for Judge Moran was on the pro-
gramme to help him wrestle with the same
subject.
Judge Moran's address dealt chiefly with
the lower courts and their duties. He
thought the people OF Illinois had peculir
cause TO be proud of their judiciary. In all
the seventy years Of its judicial system no
Judge had been impeached nor within fifty
years had there been q judicial scandal. In
this time great corporate relations had been
adjusted. and though many judges had been
elected in political contests the integrity OF
the judiciary had never been questioned.

I'VE have no disposition to defend Nor

titled to be treated with justice and hu-

they are subject to be influenced by the
amelorated other peoples. churches, and
crecds. We also believe they have got
common sense. and by the exercise OF this
valuable attribute they have found out that

great mass OF the Mormon people are deter

they will accomplish the work in spite OF

HIS HONOR.

they were joined In their manifestation by
the foremost citizens OF Chicago. Repub-
licans and Democrats all united in their
tribute TO man whom the city delighted
to honor. When the doors OF the Palmer

and the strains OF music were from Olym-

Jupiter's seat or even place In the row Of
American gods who sat behind the long
table at the head of the dining room. But
Mr.. Fuller is the greatest god in American
politics. He is greater than any politician
and beyond their reach. He Is higher than
the rulers and their laws, for he establishes
them or sets them aside. He Is the Chief
Justice OF the highest tribunal this side OF
heaven. and the banquet was in his honor.
Half hidden behind the stands and baskets
OF flowers that stood in the center of the
tables were rows of glasses. thin as paper
and translucent as fancy. From the chan

came with scarce notice.
This last banquet was history-at least an
embellishment OF IL. Early last March Chief
Justice Waite died. Mr.. Fuller was ap-
pointed to the vacant place the 1st OF the
following May, and was confirmed late In
July. Justice Fuller II the first Illinois man
to receive this distinguished honor and the
second man from the State to wear a judicial
robe. The only court In America that wears
gown is the Supreme Court OF the United
States.
AT one Of the tables sat man with faded
red mustache and hair to match. He was
simply John M. Hamilton. Five years ago he
was Governor OF Illinois and came from the
capital to attend the banquet. At the tables
sat judges Of the local courss and from the
Federal and state bench In this and adjoin-
ing states. The city and county legal de-
partments were represented. and the bar
sent its leading practitioners. The business
community, the commercial circles, were
present in large delegation. Nearly four
hundred persons sat at the tables. The

On Judge Drummond's right sat the guest
of the evening. the Chief Justice Of the
United States Supreme Court, the Hon.
Melville w. Fuller. His hair was no whittier.
his face no ruddier than those OF Mel"
Fuller. as his associates called him a few
months ago. He laughed and chatted with
the venerable Judge with the white fringe
and high collar under his chin. or said some
pleasant thing TO the handsome and dis
Misunderstanding Judge OF the Federal
Court. Walter .. Gresham, on his right.
Judge Gresham was in frequent conversa-
tion with Gen. Crock. United States army,
the InGian fighter who so narrowly escaped
Geronimo.
Next the General was Judge Bradwell
and Judge Cation. the white haired old pio-
neer with his old-fashioned frilled shirt.
Beside him was Judge Trumbull. once an
honored Republican leader and prominent
candidate for the Presidency, an ex-United
States Senator. and n man full OF honorable
years. Judge Jenkins sat next. and beside
him Joseph Medll. Judge Gregory was at
the extreme right. To the left OF the Pres-
