She generally takes two 90 these
girls at once, from the Carlisle Indus
trial School, and keeps them fr )m one to
three years. They are taught every
household duty and are very well cult
waited and educated. Two of them have
already become teachers and the Indian
agents and persons in charge of the
schools say that no more capable teachers
can be found.
One of the girls returned to her own
people, the Winnebagos, and is teaching
them. Miss Edge has had thirteen girls,
and has trained them for various po-
sitions. Several are married and have
children, SO that they can put to prac-
tical use the lessons taught by Miss Edge.
The speaker also described the general
character and capability Of the Indians.
She said, among other things, that the
Indians are very fond of agriculture and
like to have agricultural fairs. The
members Of the society were very enthu
siastic and gratified over the address.
Miss Rowland and Miss Zane We're ap-
pointed an auditing and collecting com
mittee to assist the treasurer. An appro
priation of 25 per cent. of all collections
was ordered to be paid to the National
Association. The secretary reported
having received from the Indian Bureau

tion Of the Indians. 1t is very volumi-
nous, but interesting work and extracts
from it win be prepared and printed
Three new members joined the society
yesterday and FIVE paid their fees,
amounting to $5
1t was decided to hold the next meet
ing at Mrs. Darlington's home. No. 500

the members of the club.
P. F. Shields and Alfred Davidson
opened the program by sparring three
rounds, of two minutes duration each, in
very lively manner The next set-to,
between Horace Mcdaniel and William
Parker, showed some very scientific
points. Following the sparring was a
wrestling bout between Homer g. Sim
mons and Samuel Jones of the w Al G. !,
won by the latter after a hotly contested
bout in five minutes and twenty five
seconds.
Chesterman Of the A. @. S. NJ. and

gold medal This bout was won by the
former in one minute and forty-fve
seconds. There was a set-to between
Frank Boulden and 7. NJ Howard. both
Of the w. A. @. The audience was SO en-
thusiasic that they spared an extra
round

- mum VI Aut W. a Oss bub owing TO
some mistake Mr. Pyfer was not notified
in time and did not arrive. In Mr.. Pyfer's
place Walter Campbell spared with

rounds in lively manner. The wrest-
ling bout between j. Knox Hysolop A.
G. S. n, and w. P. Spoerl, of the w. A.
G., was won by the latter minute and
40 seconds.
The wrestling bout between ]. B.
Reilly Of the A. G. S. N. and champion
amateur bantum weight of the United
States, and ]. Y. Cooper, was declared
off as Mr. Cooper weighed 30 pounds
over the required 1l5 pounds, and Mr.
Reilly thought that a handicap Of 6
pounds was too much for him. and he
would not wrestle. The sparring between
Campbell and Ruth wound up the enter
tainment for the evening. This, the last
exhibition, was the finest of the season,
and shows that the clubs efforts to place
boxing and wrestling on respectable
basis, have met with hearty support.
