MEAN MOTIVES IMPUTED.
The President's ldea ON the Appointment
of Indian Commissions.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-lSpecial. AL
though President Harrison will not appoint
any Of the men on the various Indian COM
missions from the state where the work il
to be done, he will probably make appoint
ments recommended BY the representatives
Of these states to do the work in other
states than their own. It is quite likely
that one or two Washington men will be se-
lected to places on the Montana commits
sions, and some Montana men may be &C.
lected to 90 to the Puyallup and Colville
reservations in Warrington. The most
difficult of all these missions is the Puyallup
reservation at Tacoma, where the lands are
very valuable and where there are some fine
points of Indian law to be settled, such as
the rights of Indians who have lands in
severalty and the power they have to transfer
or to make contracts to transfer their lands.
There was general scramble yesterday
among the men who are interested in these
appoin tments and the president was be-
sieged with senators and representatives
from western states, who wanted to secure
these last few plums of the season for their
constituents. Senator Allen Gays that the
presidents policy that no man shall be ap-
pointed upon a commission which shall
deal with the Indians in the state he repre-
sents. will be rigidly carried ont, though
the senator protested that following such a
policy to its logical sequence would mean
that when there was anything in whicn the
whole country was involved it woulG
necessitats sending to foreign countries fol
commissioners. The impression the presi-
dent seems to have is that the people of the
various states where Indians are located
would have no other purpose except to rob
them.

The Wife of Today.

From Troy Times.
A shrewd hint to wives is conveyed
in the observation of philosopher
that "when q woman doesn't care
whether her husband habitually sees
her In curl papers or not she must
feel very sure of his love-" This re-
mark opens up the whole ques-
tion OF personal appearance. 1t
lie unQuestiOnably cause of
much domestic unhsppiness when
wives neglect to appear as charming
~ bright In dress as they did before
marriage But the time when the
American woman collapsed immedi-
ately after marriage into an indiffer-
ent household drudge, I'm ungainly
wrappers, half-clad feet and unkempt
hair has long passed. The wife of to-
day is a student of the art of personal
decoration. She knows what shades
and colors and textures match her
complexion. she knows what robes
and styles of dress best outline the graz
ces of her figure. She has learned
the art OF preserving beauty, and even
when, as is unfortunately the case in
too frequent instances, failing health
removes much of the girlish freshness
of her appearance, she can, without
resorting to any questionable aids,
remain go attractive that the loss in
com rlexIon is atoned for by the gain
in matronly AVAILABILITY and loveable
ness. The woman Who is discOur-
agingly disregardless OF her attire is
now largely an anachronism.

POPE LEO XIII.
In His --latest Encylical He Urges
Catholics TO Greater Zeal in
AnnnSfinss.,x-

In HIS Latest EncyncaI He Urges
Catholics TO Greater Zeal in
Fighting Agnosticism.
NEW YORK, November 4.-The
pope's latest encyclical is of universal
interest. It is written in italian by
the pope himself, and is ad dressed to
the bishops of Italy. Its contents
have only just been made known to
the public.
The holy father refers to the many
attacks which have been made on the
church of late years, and draws spe-
cial attention to the homage which
has been paid to the agnostic, Gior-
doni Bruno.
1T would be folly for us to close
our eyes tothe gravity of the situa-
tion," he continued. "Our apostolic
duty bids US protest against the
many onslaughts that are being
made in Italy on religion, which the
bishops should do their hest to do
away with. and as the principal
weapon of our enemies is the press,
Catholics should call to their aid the
religious press and use it as a weapon
against the base press of our enc
mies.n
The Pope then explains that it is
not only a love of religion, but also
love of their country, which should
impel Catholics to take part in this
holy warfare. This spreading dan
ger Of Socialism, he says, owing to
the strength OF it's organ izstion, can
only be successfully opposed by
strong union of all the conservative
elements OF society. and true religion
in the best rampant against the fury
OF lawless mobs. Enmity toward the
with the greatest dangers for
Italy. The result will be lack
OF harmony between the italian
officers and true Italian Catholics.
From this discOrd will ensue pro-
longed religious war which is bound
to prove nurtful to the public veal.
Moreover, this conflict will not only
deprive Italy of the prestige which
she has acquired through her rela-
tons with the pOntificate, but it will
ALLEVIATE from her the Catholics of the
entire world. Nay, il may at any
time give her enemies q pretext to
take up arms.
"HOw different would be the con-
dition of affairs if the church was
allowed full liberty and the unhamp-
cred enjoyment of her rights. Rec
onciled to the pope and faithful to her
ancient religion, Italy would then be
truly great, and nothing would hinder
her from pursuing glorious career to
the end.
"The oft-repeated statement that
the Catholics and the sovereign pom
tiff are the enemies of Italy,is gra.
tuitous insult and a base calumny
On the contrary, the Catholics are the
best friends of Italy,"
The pope concludes by saying that
two governments are impossible at
Rome, and thatRome ought to be given
back to the pope If the world wished
the holy see to exercise as heretofore
Its influence for good. ....

A Rope-WalkIng Spook.

From the New York Sun.
On Sunday evening, few minutes
before Z O'Clock, three men were
standing in front Of Volsard's grocery
store at st. Catharine, Ont, In con-
versation. Suddenly one of them ex.
claimed: "That man will fall and
be killedw He directed the atten-
ton OF his companions to q house
just across the street, where, out
lined against the sky, was plainly
seen the figure of q man walking
along the edge of the roof from the
chimney to the edge Of the cave
trough.
The figure appeared to be about
eight feet in height, and balanced
above his head he held long pole,
such as is used by tight-rope walkers.
The trio looked breathlessly at the
spectacle, expecting every moment
to see the man fall to the
ground. Turning slowly around the
figure assembled the rcof again, walk
ing on the extreme edge, poised for q
moment on the point of the roof, then
appeared to diminish in size, finally
disappearing altogether. The three
men were almost terror-stricken, and
rushed across the street into the yard.
expecting to find that the man had
fallen, but no trace of man or pole
could be found.
The men who saw the weird sight
are respectable, reputable people, and
they agree i'm their recital of the story
with the single exception that one of
them says the man was in his shirt
sleeves and had dark vest and trou-
-sers, while the others say that he had
q full suit of dark clothes on. The
heavy pole was distinctly seen by all
three, held by the figure. A sharp
watch has been kept on the spot since,
but the spook has not reappeared.
