consecutive years. Were it not for
this remnant of trained labor, which
is fast disappearing, the agricultural
interests of the South would seri-
ously suffer. As it is, many of the
crops which were formerly very pro-
fitable are now discarded, as extra
labor cannot be obtained when
needed.
The young men under 35 years
of age show marked contrast to the
slave born population. These sell
dom work on the farm except by the
day, stop when they choose and are
independent, overbearing, lazy and
do not regard promises or contracts.
In the spring they generally seek
railroads, mines, brick-yards or
public works. and labor under
overseers, but when they return
home to winter they generally spend
their time in idleness. This is the
element that creates the uneasiness
felt in regard to the race problem,

OVER 150 YEARS OLD.
Wonderful Longevity of a California Indian,
Who Vas a Grandfather i'm NO.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-For several
years there has been domiciled at the Mon
terey County Hospital an Indian known by
the name of ''Old Gabriel" AS to the exact
day, month oryear of his birth, proof is alb
sent. but of the fact that he has passed the
wonderful age of 100 years there is guam
tity of proof. Gabriel was born in Tulare
county, but during childhood removed to
the town of Monterey. Father Junipero
Sierra arrived in Monterey in ITO, and it is
we'll authenticated that at that time Gabriel
was grandfather. The youngest age at
which an Indian married was fifteen years.
III Gabriel followed the custom and mar
ried at that age ne would necessarily have
been at least thirty-twO or thirty-three
years old to have been grandfather at the
time of Father Junipero's landing there.
Father JunlperO taught Gabriel the art of
cutting and laying stone, and at the time
OF the bnilding of the first chapel. in the
years 1s11 and 1II2. Gabriel assisted in the
construction of the walls. He became so
expert at his trade that he managed and
assisted iii che construction of the San An
tonic mission in 1881. He was then married
TO his second wife. Gabriel still speaks
proudly of the skill he acquired as o stone
cutter. Father Sorrentini. the priest, and
Bishop Amat reached Monterey some time
In the year 1S45. The former says that old
Gabriel was then living with his sixth
wife. and he was by many years the senior
of all the old inhabitants. He was then
known by the same name. and Was said to
be at that time over 10 years of aye. A
widely-know old lady, by the name of Cas-
tro. who died five years ago, at the age of
ninety-iive. in testifying 10 old GabriePs
age, said that when n child she saw old
Gabriel aud that at that time he had child
rem several years older than she then was.
Gabriel remained at Old Capitol until q
few years ago, whom he removed to Salinas
valley, where he has been sojourning ever
since. Up 10 two or three years ago he
was familiar figure ON the streets of Sa-
linas City. but now he il rarely seen, as his
trips from the hospital to the town are be-
coming less frequent. He has always been
fond OF striking c0lors, and for years wore
q coat made of cloth. representing all the
colors of the rainbow

THREATS TO THE QUEEN.
If She Goes to Wales She Runs a Risk Z
Being Kissed.

If She Goes to Wales She Runs a Risk of
Being Kissed.
London Special.
Queen Victoria, by the way,'is going down
to Wales in few days, and up to week
ago it seemed that the usual loyal greet
ings would be extended to her. Now, how
ever. there is some doubt as to that. Wales
is tho hOt-bed of the establishment
movement. The war for the recovery of
tithes has always been more bitter there
than in any other part of the kingdom.
The rancour attending the discussion of the
tithe question in the House of Commons
seems to have infiamed the minds of the
fiery Welshmen, for one of the prominent
bards of the people, certain Tom Gee, of
Denbigh, tells the Queen pretty plainly IN
little paper he publishes. called the Ban
ner, that she. as the head of the Estab-
lished Church, is the cause of all their
woes, including the tithe trouble; that she
is the one stumbling block in the way of
redress and that if she escapes being Missed
out of Wales she may think herself lucky.
This was bombshell. The authorities
have been up in arms ever SINCE and talk
very largely about prosecuting the bard
but, unfortunately for the Queen, there are
too many Welshmen of the bard's way of
thinking, and legal proceedings might lead
to riot; therefore the notion arrived at is
to ignore Tom Gee. The trouble is that Mr.
Gee and his followers may not ignore the
Queen altogether.

Knotty Problem Growing Out Of a Violation
of the Alien Contract Labor Law.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Secretary VIM
dom, before leaving for his vacation, to-
day, had up for consideration the papers in
relation to the. employers of the imported
glass-b blowers, who are alleged to have been
brought over here under contract, in viola
ton of the con tract labor law. According
to the report of the district attorney at
Pittsburg. it is clearly proven that there
was an implied contract between the men
and their employers, but the Secretary
finds the problem a very knotty one. and
up to the present time has not been able to
find proper solution. The law requires
that such alien laborers shall be sent back
at the expense of the steamship company
which brought them oyer. within year
from the time OF landing, but it seems that
there is some difficulty involved in the
sibility of raising the funds 10 return them
law officers of the department be-
lieve that habeas corpus proceedings would
be instituted Immediately should any ef-
fort be made to return the glass-blowers,
and that such proceedings would result in
interminable delay and very likely the ul-
innate release of the men. The secretary,
before proceeding further, will try 10 se-
cure further evidence, fixing beyond ques-
tion the violation of the law upon the firm
employing the aliens, and this is where one
of the greatest difficulties Will como in.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. 19.-At the time
Postmaster Hyde and his chief inspector
were telling the reporters, last night. that
the mail-pouch was stolen here, cut and
rifed, it was safe and whole in the st.
Louis postoffice. The pouch was picked up
few squares from the depot here, where
1T had accidentally fallen frem the open
car door just before the fast mail. west
bound, Saturday night, stopped at the de-
pot. 1t was given to the depot mail agent
very soon after the train went on west, and
was sent to st. Louis on yesterdays day
mail train. The Associated Press agent
here telegraphed the facts at s o'clock last
evening. but for some reason the dispatch
was not distributed from Indianapolis.
Had it been, all this excitement would have
been avoided.
A Chicago dispatch saws: Postmaster Sex
ton and Inspector Stuart received word this
morning regarding the alleged theft of
registered mail at Tcrre Haute from Van
dalia mail car. 1t was reported that the
pouch. which was d through one, from
Albany to st. LoMs, and contained about
$1,000. was cut open and rifed. and that
the remains were found in the Terre Haute
railroad yards. This, the postmaster says,
has been reported incorrectly. The pouch
fell out of the car, but was found intact
some time afterward by switchman and
returned to the postal authorities.

BELIEVE MARRIAGE A CURSE.
An Imported Society That Would Do Away with
the Unequal Mating Of Men and Women.

ST. PAUL. Aug. lotto Van Hildren, q
young man Of thirty-five, arrived here last
week and registered at leading hotel. He
announced himself as the supreme knight
of the Order of the Golden Star, from Ber-
lin, Germany. Wednesday he mailed his
card to number of prominent citizens,
with small circular, inviting scrutiny
and study of the methods, principles and
operations of the Order of the Golden Star.
He said to q reporter into whose hands one
of his circulars fell: "The first principle
of the order is the abOlishment of the pres
ent system of marriage, which l and my
brother members believe to be one of the
greatest curses resting on society. By that
do not mean that we intend to inaugurate
a loose and vicious system of love. but
rather to propagate and perpetuate the
doctrine of natural selection and the
affinity of soul to soul. We hold
in our order, after one has become a
member of it, that he or she cannot marry
outside that order, and that their selection
must be some member within its circle.
This selection is to be based upon the phys
ical and mental fitness of each other and q
mutual agreement and understanding. after
probationary period of six months, that
they will live as husband and wife as long
as harmony continues. We do not permit
divorce where lack of harmony is discOv-
cred. We inquire closely into the cause of
the trouble, and if there is no reasonable
or rational probability of the two remain
ing together, and there is every reason why
they should separate, then the bond that
has united them is amicably dissolved.
They remain members of the order, but
each goes his or her own way. and if there
be children they are cared for by system
which we have which raises. educates and
starts them in the world with trade or
profession, infinitely more hOnOred than
the children of divorced couples of modern
society.
1--WE do all that We can to promote bodily
and mental purity. All that we read, all
that we write all that we attempt to act
aims from the beginning at bringing about
n natural and not an immoral state of So
ciety. Our work is to destroy the false
and artificial. In attacking the marriage
system of to-day, our protest is against the
unequal mating of men and women. their
irrevocable union or their enforcement
without inquiry or study of the fault. We
substitute for it no code of church or law,
but the binding force of social union by
which no step is taken without thought,
inquiry and careful preparation"
DIR. Won Hildren says the order contains
1000 members located in Germany, Eng
land. Japan, New York and Chicago and
that a branch will be instituted in st. Paul
