ware.
The American Manufacturer, in IN
editorial, ssys: 1T is folly for any one
to assert that We are not now making
tin plate, or that In all probability we
will not make in the very near future
much more than the minimum amount
mentioned in the tin plate clause Of the
Mckinley act" 1t then gives the
capacity of mills now at work rs 8, $50
tons, while works actually in progress
will bring the yearly make up TO s., 500
tons. So far most of the mills have de-
cided to build ON the modern Welsh
plans and improve them afterward, ~
our rolling mills are as good if not bet
ter than the Welsh. These parties will
strive to make improvements in the tin
houses Others are trying to start
de novo, and by the application Of new
principles substitute machinery for
hand labor.
Our London contemporary, Iron, after
mentioning the feeling in usually we'll
informed circles that if the Mckinley
tariff is allowed to remain in force, the
loss of the American market for British
made tin plates is only a question of
time, and counting up the capacity of
the works now in operation adds:
But the Yankees are not only going
to make their own tin plates, they are
going to show us how TIN plates should
be made. Messrs. Norton Bros, of Chi
cago, abiding to their preparations.
write as follows: You would see,' at
their establishment, a small plant Of
the apparatus used for timing by the
English method. We took pains to get
the best machinery used there. Fair
work can be done by it; but we are not
very proud of it, except as an example
to shun. When you see it in operation
you will not think it strange that we
are very confident of our ability to
devise machinery that will do the work
better, and we are already construct
ing machines to work in a more Ameri-
can fashion" In these respects our
American cousins may be riding the
high horse somewhat, but is there no
direction il which our tin plate makers
could improve? We think this question
may be worth their consideration.
Abstaining entirely from any predic-
tions as to the future of tin plate,
either in this country or in others, we
wish to ask such of our readers as are
prejudiced against the tin plate clause
in the Mckinley bill if they do not
think. with the manufacturers of two
trying to devise improved ma
chinery and processes, we are not like
~ to obtain better and cheaper tin plate
than if the manufacturers Of only one
country continued to hold the entire
trade?

sid French traders and missionaries

me Of the falsity of the tradition con-

Upon this island i'm 1925, was born of
mixed Puritan, French and Indian b ODD
William Whipplo Warren, in whose faS-
,inating "History Of the Oiibways" is
preserved the leg .udary and historical
account Of the OjIbway nation, as rclat

medicine rites and around their lodge
fires

the age OF IS years, deprived the world
of an Invaluable series Of Indian his

their most famous chieftains. But the
LABOR Of writing the first volume, to-
gether with that of being an active and
conscientious member of the Minnesota
Legislature, wrecked his already feeble
health, and cut short life Of remark,

He was = fayoritc with the old chiefs,
warriors, and medicine men OF his tribe
aud was able on this account
to obtain from them information regard

This black stein upon their proud
scutcheon was the cannibalsm which
resulted, 9T5 years ago, in their sudden
and complete evacuation Of the island
which had been their home for hun
dred and twenty-five years.
The first home of the OjibwayS was
a'ong the st. Lawrence River, but the
powerful Iroquois, or Six Nations, of
New York, made inccsSant war up
on them, and gradually drove
them along the great chain of

Claim Thirty four Acres of New York.

Several residents of Connecticut
will soon bring suit which involves
the ownership of land on Broadv ay
New York, valued at 5000, 100000. In
the days that preceded the revolution
airy war Capt. Cells ran little
freighting sloop between the towns Of
Milford and Stratford, on Long Island,
and the metropolis. Among the crew
that manned the sloop was Robert
Edwards, a resident of Strattord,
Conn. Edwards bought thirty-four
acres of land on both sides of Broad
way, covering the space that is now
occupied by Trinity Church and part
of Wall street. A lease'of this proper
ty to the British government was
recorded in the name Of Robert Ed
wards, his heirs and assigns, to cover a
period of ninety-nine years. This was
in the year 1881, and the lease expired
in 1880. Robert had written to his
brothers, Russell, Lyman and Will
lam, who lived in Stratford, informing
them of the facts of the purchase and
lease of the Broadway tract. A great
nephew of Edwards living at Stratford
has the letter Robert disappeared
and was never heard of afterward. The
Connecticut heirs were the only ones
to take an active part in the proceed
ings, beginning in 1880 Four years
ago another move was made by the
heirs of Robert Edwards. Complete
files of the ancient records were Sc
cured copies of deeds taken, and titles
searched. Leading counsel has been
retained to aid in the battle, and a
meeting of all the heirs or their repre-
sentatives will soon be held to formu
late plan of procedure.

Strangely enough, at the midnight

the deceased would be summoned to at
tend "medicine feast" at some medi-
cine mans lodge, and no matter how
scarce might be the supply of game in
the Oiibway village, there was never
lack of meat in the concoction that was
served at these feaSts
At last the more discerning of the tribe
began to suspect the nature of these
feastS and a few to absent themselves
from the post mortem rites to which the
medicine men summoned them: or ro-

downfall.
The medicine men finally became so
bold in their cannibal practices that they
would demand of parents their children

terrorized parents dared not refuse these
demands.

which is estimated at 100,0 900 crowns
($25, OO0). Some years ago he came
with his wife from the Kjoelen Noun

looking.
The funniest thing about million
aire" Joens is his hat, which, it will be
observed, makes a desperate attempt
to shape itself into the style of the
plug hat of civilization. 1t will be
seen from the sketches that there is
little difference between the dress of
the men and women in Lapland's 400.
Both sexes wear short shin-showing
dresses and heavy, coarse shoes made
largely of reindeer fur and hide.
The men wear their hair long, quite
as much so as the women, who conceal
their locks beneath bonnets of night
cap shape and simplicity. However,
the women are not altogether homely,
thong they have heavy, fat-food look
and air.
Maja, the heiress of Mr.. Joens, does
not look very imposing in her bridal
robes This is because she is simply
loaded with trinkets, etc, without any
arrangement as to fitness or harmony.
