WASHINGTON. June "A bright warm sun

GREENsBURG, June 2.-The Commits
sioners and Poor Directors of indians, Cam
bria and Westmoreland counties vii meet

county. and the same will be purchased by
the three counties, and one Or two long
graves will be made and the unfortunate
dead will be buried there. Poor Board At
torney Spiegel, of this county, states that
no expense will be saved in this regard.
Immediate action will have to be taken, as
the dead are rapidly decomposing.

Some Of the Advantages Of Village
Life Around Pittsburg.
ONE NOTABLE INTERVIEW.

''one who has lived in any of the suburban
villages just out Of Pittsburg, would hardly
exchange his home at this season of the
year for one in the city proper" said Mr..
Adams. He was speaking Of his home at
Mansfield, just eight miles out on the PAN
handle, and one Of the pleasantest of
suburban neighborhoods. His family have
resided there for IA years and over, his
father being proprietor of the Mansfield
Hotel.
1t was during this conversation with Mr..
Adams that he made the following state
ment:
SIT had been trouble" he said, "that I
tried in every way to get rid of without any
success. 1t kept slowly, gradually getting
worse all the time Sometimes I would
think was a little better, but after awhile
I would drop back into still worse con-
dition.
''In the morning would feel tired and
worn out 1t seemed as if my sleep had not
at all rested me. I would feel more tired
when I would get up in the morning than
when I would go to bed at night.

about this star is that its light is variable.
After shining like a reliable star of the sec
ond magnitude for 2 days and IA hours, be
begins to grow fainter, until, at the end
of 81 hours, he is of only the
fourth magnitude. He then grows brighter
and at the end of another 81 hours is again
of the second magnitude. The period OF
variation is about 2 days, 20 hours, 40 min
utes, and so, when the time of any mini
mum, as the darkening is called, is known,
following minima may easily be calculated.
Two minima are here given: March 2, $40
P. NJ; March 8, $50 P. NJ.
TROUBLE AHEAD.
It will be advisable to identify the star
from the directions given at about $50 in
the eevening, and then watch for it at the
proper hour in its changed position due to
the earth's rotation.
Astronomers are not agreed as to what
causes this remarkable periodic diminution
of the stars light, but the general opinion
is that large dark body is revolving
around the star at frightful speed, and
partially eciipses the star at every revolu-
tion. The period seems to be shortening
gradually, and If this is so the satellite is
approaching the primary, and will ulti-
mately strike it. The force of such col
lision would be sufficient to make the united
bodies shine out with wonderful brilliancy.
There are many variable stars in the heavens,
but their variations are not SO great or so
frequent as those of Algol. The Arabians
seemed to be aware of this winking property
of the star, since they gave it the name AL
gol, or the Demon. E. V. L.

Some OF the Queer Things Seen and Sold In
the Bazaars of the East.
A letter from Darjeeling, India, to the
Glasgow Mail, describes the market place
, of that town as follows: The noise of the
bazaar at noon can be heard for mile.
The old proverb; ''It takes two to make a
bargain" has no honor here; it never takes
less than 20. and all feel bound to shout,
push, struggle, and gesticulate. The crowd
numbers many thousands, and these jolly
hill men appear to be the most good-natured
people in the world, ,rivalling in that respect
even the Japanese. Every man carries a
knife that would disembowel an elephant,
but no one quarrels. Every woman is
loaded with silver and gold jewelry, but no
one is ever robbed.
Here along sunny wall are 20 or 80 bar
bers busily engaged in cutting and trim
ming the unkempt locks of the men.
mostly Thibetan traders who have trampled
across the mountains, the hair lying in
heaps in front of them, horribly suggestive
of gregarines and other small game. Round
the corner we come upon lot of Bhootea
women, with great crooks full of snow
white curds, the favorIte dainty of the place,
which they serve out to their customers in
square vessels ingeniouslY twisted out Of
plantain leaves. Near them are some Lep-
cha lads playing shuttlecock with the soles
of their feet, which they turn upward in
the nimblest fashion. Then we come upon
some stalls for tea which is boiled up with
molasses, gruesome compound; and now
we come upon an open market, jostled as we
go by huge giant, Buddhist Lama, who,
followed by an acolyte as dirty as himself,
bellows aloud for aims.
All over the market are. traders, squatted
on the ground in front of their wares, the
most heterogeneous assortment of goods i'm
aginable-goats, pigs, poultry, tea, tobacco,
beads from Venice, grain of all sorts, sweet
meats, cards. the bloodiest meat ever saw,
killed at the back as required, and brought
in dripping, piles of cotton aud wool goods,
yaks' tails, brass Buddhas, ,ironmongery, pot
terry, old bottles, timed meats, tape, cotton,
needles, wooden spoons, oil, umbrellas, and
feeding bottles, all blend in one great laby-
rinth Of yelling confusion.

SACHEM'S HEAD.
The Original skull Believed to Have Been
Found.


Found.
New Haven Palladium.l
Much interest has been shown among the
residents of Madison and Guilford in the
recent finding by Emory Morse of Walling-
ford of skeleton buried in the bank on his
property near East river and named on the
Coast Survey maps as the Highlands.
Mr.. Morse has recently, been at work
building sea wall on the property, and in
leyeling the ground back from the wall cut
away portion of the bank and found the skel-
eton. The backbone, ribs and small bones
crumbled into dust on being exposed to the
air, but the larger bones and skull remained
intact, and show that the mortal to whom
the bones originally belonged was fully 7
feet tall. The high cheek bones indicate
that the man was an Indian. The skeleton
had probably rested in the old bank for at
least,200 years.
In the fight which gave the names to
Bloody Cove and Sachem's Head, all the
Indians perished, the last being the great
Sachem, who once made his escape, but was
shot in the water. The body of the Sachem
was recovered and the head cut of, and for
several days was kept in crotch Of tree on
the rocks above. Since then the place has
been known as Sachem's Head. The body
and head were, according to tradition, after
ward buried in sand bank on the shore,
about three miles from the scene of his
death. As the spot where the skeleton was
recently found is just three miles from
Sachem's Head, and otherwise agrees with
the old legend. there are many who believe
that the old bones are without doubt,
those of the famous old Indian sachem.
The skull and other bones are now in Mr..
Morse's possession at his home in Walling-
ford.

A NEED OF THE SOUTH.
MAMMAL Training Schools Would Prove q
Blessing in That Section.

MAMMAL Training Schools Would Prove q
Blessing in That Section.
A professional gentleman Of this city who
has spent great deal of time in the South
ern States believes that industrial schools
would accomplish wonders in that section.
Said he to a DISPATCH reporter.
"There is no part OF the country where
such schools are more needed OF where they
would be likely to prove more beneficial.
There is not so much need Of people who
know how TO read and write as Of those who
know how to work intelligently. The me-
grces and the poor whites are compelled to
seek meniaI employment because they uE-
derstand nothing else. If all who 20 to
school there were taught the use of ordinary
mechanical implements, as we'll as the
lessons Of the text books, IL would be Of the
greatest advantage to. them. The negroes,
especially, are quicker to learn trade than
o science, and that is the sort of education
that will be most useful.
"The South needs more and better schools,
of course, but every school established
would accomplish vastly more of good if il
had an industrial training department.

''It is the Indifferent man that will defeat

sides in the issue. When approached they
claim it is to their best interests to assume
a neutral position. They have no desire to

looking out fer number one first.
"Then there is class of barroom loafers
who expect to work us between now and
election time tor free drinks. They threaten
us and say. Duff up, or we will vote against

fellows would vote against US anyhow. If
