1t is not necessary for person to have
the ability of Holmes to enable him to
absolutely know that the foregoing quota
ton is very important truth We think
that many at least. ii not all, who write
considerably, have often realized out of
their own personal experience that what
Mr.. Holmes has said is entirely correct.
Verify, I'VE are fearfully aud wonderfully
made"
1t is often true that writer's thoughts
are sprung upon him and that the great
charm of writing consists in its surprises.
but whenever this is true a person must
be, Is Mr.. Holmes has said, in the recep-
tive attitude of mind. He must be at his
best, not distracted by cares, not harassed
by annoyances or perplexed by Interrupt
tons. He must be master of all his facul-
ties, able to fully concentrate his mind up
on his work and to 20 on undisturbed TO
the end.
A writer cannot always compass this
and the editor of a local newspaper but
seldom; for in the preparation OF his artl-
cles he Is again and again interrupted by
callers or the demands Of business, or the
thousand and one duties to which daily he
is obliged to give his attention We will
venture to say that no class of writers
work under such difficulties as do the edl-
tors of local newspapers.
Thoughts interrupted in their flow can
not always be gathered up again; ideas
turned aside by extraueous demands are
not infrequently lost forever Inspiration,
we think, comes to all but it will not abide
with us unless it can be monarch Of all it
surveys"
The only wonder is that local editors do
a well a they do and that when their pa
pers are issued from the press they are
as free from errors as they are found to
be-

EIGHTEEN DAYS WITHOUT FOOD.
Eight Pelew Islanders Picked Up In q
Canoe 200 Miles From Land.

The American ship Joseph 8. Spinney ar
rived at Hiogo, Japan, January 8, with six
Pelew Islanders, whom she had picked up in
an open canoe over 200 miles from land. No.
vember Is seven men and their old king set out
to pay visit to a chief on another island Of the
Pelew group. Their craft was a dugout, 30
feet long, with only Is inches beam.
Before they could make their port Of destina-
ton gale sprang up and they were blown out
to sea. They were without food or water. In
this fearful condition they remained for eight
cen days. December II the old king, faint
with hunger and mad with thirst, decided that
that the others might live. Preparations for
the sacrifice were nearly completed when the
sails OF the Spinney appeared on the horizon
and the boy was saved.
The men when rescued presented fearful
sight. The king was wasted that the chief
mate carried him up the ships gangway under
his arm. Before reaching Hiogo the king and
one other man died.
The six survivors are somewhat larger than
hair and spreading nOstrils. They are tatooed
from head to foot in gay colors. Their chief
consolation is smoking. Each has hole pierced
in his ears, in wich he sticks his pipe when not
in use.
Capt Curling of the spinney says the king
each morning saluted him by rubbing his nose
on the back of his hand. The men were for
mally presented to Consul Smithers as the
American king. and honored him with much
rubbing Of noses.
The problem is how to return them to their
own country, where vessels rarely touch. Be-
sides, they cannot tell the name of the island
on which they lived.

INDIAN NAMES.
Two Interesting Papers Before the
AnthrOpological Society.

At the meeting of the anthropological society
last night at the Cosmos club DR.. Washington
Matthews discussed the legends concern
ing the Navajo geutes. He said that
the legends were of three kinds, purely
mythical, partially trustworthy and of real
historic value. There are ffty-one names
OF gentes known, but of this number
only thirty-eight have been corroborated and
1t is not likely that there were as many gentes
as Names as it has been found that some Of
the gentes have several names apiece Most
Of the names arose from names Of places the
clans inhabited, as 'the people Of the place of
water with salty TASTE" "or people Of the place
OF willows" These names, when given in one
long Navajo, word are about as unwieldly as any
the philolOgst ever has to deal with. Members
OF every Naval gems are now scattered all over
the Naval territory, but they all retain to a
certain extent the gems feeling. The Navajoes
are an exogamus people, that is to say they
marry outside of their own clans, and with them
the child belongs to the gems of the mother.
THE APACHE NAMES.
Capt John G. Bourke followed with an &C.
count of the gems names among the Apaches.
He said that the close relationship of the
Apaches and Navajoes was too well known to
demand discussion. OF the gems names of the
two races there are q large number that are
analogous, and this parrellelism Is very helpful
as well as interesting to the student Of Indian
life and history. He told how when he was with
Gen. Crook in pursuit of Geronimo and his
band he was able to learn much Of the Indian
gems history by interviewing captive Indians
The soldiers insisted upon every captive giving
his gems name and relationship, giving them
the impression that this facilitated the distinc-
ton Of nation. All Apache names are topo-
graphical and never take their origin in names
OF animals or plants. Polygamy is the rule
among them. Men always marry women
from another tribe, as this not only gives them
| a greater number of women in their clan and
thus greater number of beasts OF burden, for
an Indian woman is nothing more, but it also
furnishes them with band OF spies familiar
with the country of other clans, = knowledge
that may become valuable in case Of war; When
a,Navajo comes among the Apaches to sell his
blankets he is generally cared for by the clan
that is related to his own unless he happens to
his relatives,

Whales in Chesapeake Bay.

Capt Hall of the oyster schooner Joseph
Allen had thrilling experience with whales in
Chesapeake bay Sunday evening. The schooner
was loaded with oysters from Pocomoke and en-
route to Norfolk. When of VOLTS Trap q
whale was noticed spouting far of to the west
ward, and as monsters Of this species are rarely
seen in the bay all glasses aboard were leveled
where the huge fish was navigating.
All OF sudden and while those on board
were intently gazing at the first whale there
was splashing Of the waters about thirty feet
ahead Of the schooner and on the starboard,
and another whale was seen to throw his tail
out OF the water. Those on board were con-
siderably alarmed at seeing q whale within
such short range, but their alarm was greatly
increased when his whaleship commenced
spoutng great streams high in the air. The
vessel was hove to and as many as fifteen diff
ferent whales were counted. At one time there
were two on both the starboard and port sides
OF the frail craft, and the fierce way in which
they lashed the waters caused her to rock con.
siderably. The mate Of the vessel wanted to
shoot one Of the largest of the whales, but
those on board stoutly objected, fearing disas-
trous results if he were only wounded.

ALIEN HEIRS IN THE DISTRICT.
The Supreme Court Decides an Interest
ing Point in Will Case.

An interesting legal point WAS settled by the
decision rendered by the Supreme Court Mon
day in the case of the estate of the late 7. Law
were two children Of Mrs. Geofroy, a sister Of
the deceased. These children were aliens, born
under the French flag, and there
was doubt whether they could legally
inherit property in the District
Of Columbia. To determine their legal
status, and the proper method OF settling the
estate, a friendly suit was instituted The Dis
trict Supreme Court decided that the children
could not be treated as heirs, but the Supreme
Court Of the United States has reversed this
decision. The case depended upon the inter-
probation to be given to the words Estates Of
the Union" in the treaty made with France in
1888 The question was whether this phrase
included the District OF Columbia
The Supreme Court holds that the phrase
though loosely drawn, does include the Dis
trict By the terms Of the treaty the United
States covenanted that French citizens should
have the right to hold real estate and inherit
property in states where the laws did not pro-
hibit aliens from holding real estate, and prom
ment to secure the repeal Of those alien land
laws as respects France in states where q pro-
hibition did exist
1t is a well-recognized principle. the court
saws, that treaties are to be construed with ref
erence to the purpose sought to be secured,
and it holds that the United States would be
put In very inconsistent position il it were
decided that 1t had covenanted to do Its best in
behalf OF French citizens in states wherein it
did not have absolute power and yet did not
agree to do anything in the District Of Colum-
bla, where Its power is unlimited.

VIII be Examined as to His Sanity.

VIM. ]. Patch, the young man who has been
arrested several times for annoying the officials
at the Central National bank. was arrested again
this morning and taken to the Police Court.
Before being arrested he was put out of the
bank by Policeman Clements. He returned
and was arrested. Cashier Ruff appeared at
court as a Witness Mr.. Dumont suggested
that something was wrong with the young
mans mind. He thought it a case for exami-
nation.
In answer to the courts inquiries Mr. Ruff
said he thought the defendant had halucna-
ton. He explained that Mr.. Patch appears at
the bank almost every day and steps the direc-
tors as they come to the bank. The case was
continued in order to have Patch examined as
to his mental condition.
