Lecture by Miss oIof Krarer.

very unique and pleasant entertainment
was held at City Hall last evening, the
third In the Y. M. c. A. Star course. consist
ing of lecture by Miss Olof Krarer, an
Esquimau lady, on Greenland and the dwarf
like people Of the frozen north. There was
fair sized, curious audience to welcome her
as she appeared on.the platform and was in
troduced by Mr.. George F. French of the en-
tertainment committee. Miss Krarer is but
forty inches in height, and but little higher
than the backs of the ash chairs on the plat
form. Her face is dark, but not swarthy,
with very pleasing expression, her hair is
Of a light golden color, her eyes are large
but quiet, her hands are chubby. arms short,
and curved, caused by being obliged to keep
them folded In childhood.
Miss Krarer was born In Greenland, living
there until about fifteen years of age, when
with few others, she crossed over on the
ice to Iceland, remaining there some time
to be educated, for at home she had no
schools to go to, then coming to British
North America and finally to the United
States. After arriving here she was kept In
a room containing quantities of Ice until ac-
climated. Her lecture consisted of the story
OF her own life and the manners and Gus
toms of the Esquimaux, interspersed with
pleasing illusions to the customs of the peo-
pie of this country.
At the close of the lecture Miss Krarer re-
tired and clad herself In the native Esqui-
maux costume, and was greeted with APP
plause as she entered, after which she an
swered such questions as were put to her in
manner to cause much laughter and ap-

THE GENEALOGICAL sopiErY.
An Interesting Paper on Southern
Indians" Read by Mrs. n. c. Put

SHOfs
The Genealogical Society met In the libra
ry of the Historical Society. at the Baxter
Building, last evening to listen to paper by
Mrs. Harriet Chase Pulsifer Of Auburn, on
Southern Indians" Mrs. Pulsifer was in
troduced by Hon. Marquis F. King, the So
ciety's president. Mrs. Pulsifer commenced
her remarks by exhibiting some blankets,
coaks and rugs woven by the Mojave In
dams. She explained the method of their
manufacture and coloring, and then passed
on to the subject matter of her lecture. She
said that New England people formed their
ideas Of Indians from what they know of the
wandering tribes that inhabited this part Of
the country, and that the Indian of the
South, who lived in permanent village, was
very different sort Of person. By means
of drawings and samples of pottery, stone
aud bead work. she described their manners
and customs, their processes Of manufacture
ing, games, pastimes and ceremonies in q
manner highly entertaining and instructive
to the audience. In speaking OF the descent
OF royal power she gave an account of the
Indian law of kinship. Suppose" she said,
that am an Indian woman. having son.
l have two brothers and two sisters, and my
husband has the same relatives. / am my
sons mother, and my sisters and my hus-
bands sisters are also. My brothers and
my husbands brothers are his fathers as
much as my husband is. Aunts and uncles
are unknown. In the case of the death of
chief the descent is In the female line and
because mans sister is nearer blood re-
lation than his wife, his sisters son, not his
own, inherits the title" Mrs. Pulsifer's
lecture showed careful and comprehensive
study of a matter not often brought to the
attention Of our people, and was greatly en-
joyed by the audience.

customs service of the treasury department.
He was appointed deputy United States
marshal by Marshal Harmon at the COM

what Mr.. Harmon called good and sufficient
reasons. johnson has always felt sore over
his dismissal, however, and yesterday at the
United States Hotel the soreness came to
the surface. johnson, 1t is said, attempted
to shake hands with Mr.. Harmon but was
repulsed. Upon this Johnson's temper was
aroused and he threatened Mr.. Harmon.
Believing his life endangered Mr.. Harmon
turned and selling johnson by the throat
pushed him away. After Mr.. Harmon let
him 60 johnson continued to breathe out
treatenings and slaughter and made mo-
tion to draw something from his hip pocket.
Bystanders came between the two and re-
volver was taken from johnson. Mr.. Har-
mon called In Officer w. r. Frank and had
johnson arrested. He was taken to the sta
ton and kept for a short time Marshal
Harmon appeared and the trouble was made
up, johnson being released.

Halma is not a baby
game, it calls for as much
science and thought as
chess or checkers, and polk
er itself is not more entic-
ing. 1t combines all the
best features Of these two
games with a sufficient ele-
ment of chance to make it
alluring.
Children find constant
pleasure in it and the clev-
crest men and women tax
every resource of daring,
skill and caution to win.
1t is a remarkable game,
