Afraid of Being kidnapped.

Although George NJ. Storrs was yestcr-
day allowed his liberty by Justice Mont
gcmery under the hobcas corpus writ he is
still apprehensive that his wife will cause
him more trouble. What he fears most
is being kidnapped, taken to New York
state and placed in an asylum. Last
week commission in lunacy was APP
pointed to investigate his sanity and In
the meantime his wife was made the Gus
todian of both himself and his property.
Mr.. Storrs to-day appealed to Inspector
vent his being forcibly taken from the
District. The Inspector said that he could
give him no such paper, but he would see
that he received proper protection.

TO SETTLE THE INDIAN DIFFICULTY.


The Numerous Suggestions That Are
Made to the Department.
As is usual when great national ques-
ton is pending, the Indian bureaus have
been delugod with communications from
volatile cranks in all portions of the coun-
try. These embryo statesmen, who seem
unable TO find their niche in the direction
of the affairs of the country, have been
giving the Government the benefit of
their thought, and have suggested numer-
Gus plans by which they hope to settle the
vexcd Indian question.
A letter from man who signs himself
as "The Country's Iiberator" proposes
that the Indians can be exterminated by
simply placing slow-acting poison in their
ratiOns. The Indian trouble could be
quickly adjusted by these means, so he
thinks. Unfortunately, the Government
is unable to see the striking possibilities
for its settlement in this plan.
Another bloodthirsty crank has an idea
that electricity could be effectually used
as q destroying agent An elaborate plan
sets forth that the Sioux could be sur
rounded by Gordon Of wires attached to
strong dynamos. These wires would be
movable, and could be slowly drawn in
until the Indians were completely sur
rounded. OF course, the destruction of
the whole tribe could be carried out very
c1ectually.
out of the mass of letters some loom
up more prominently than the others be-
cause of their originality of conception or
extravagant ideas. A young man who is
just now school teacher in small vii
lage down South offered to assume charge
of the Indian trouble and effectually quell
the redskins in three months--so effect
mally, in fact that they will rebel no
longer.
A concensus of the ideas of these
cranks, show an alarming opposition to
the Indians even having their being. All
propose determination in the most forcible
terms. The religious crank, however, is
quite numerous, and he generally wishes
the Government to commission him to
convert them. His success, in his own
mind, is assured.
Very strangely, all these plans have
hecn quietly laid aside, and consequently
their practicability will probably never
enter into the heads of the chiefs.

New Year Words to Girls.

You are sitting quite quietly watch
ing the old year as it fades away and
the new one as it comes in. You think
of all the Joys and the sorrows that
have come to you during 1890, and Of
your hopes and ambitions for 1891;
You believe just as you did year ago
that you will make a great resolve that
the year shall be better and your life
nobler and more unselfish than it was
last year Now don't do this Don't
make the big resolve. Think. hope
and pray what you want to. but in its
place, make lot of little resolves that
each one of which will in time tend to
make you reach the goal you desire to.
Resolve to think little less about
yourself and little more Of the COM
forts Of others.
Resolve to be less quick of speech
and more certain in action than YOU
have been.
Resolve not to let the wicked little
demon of envy enter your heart and
make you bitter and fault-finding.
Resolve to consider those of your
own household; the inclination on the
part of too many of us is to reserve our
virtues and our graces for those out
sile. and this is all wrong.
Ny dear girls. you had better blush
unseen, as good daughters and good
sisters, than gain all the fame imagin-
able as bright takers and greaG beau
ties without any homely talent. | like
that word Lomely-I use it perhaps in
different sense from the Que you give
it. 1t means belonging to the home,
and as the home is the place where love
and charity should abide, so the talents
that belong to it are best worth pos
sessing. God bless every one Of you
and give you some day home of your
own. 1t may come in the new year.
1t may be in the years that are far off,
but if 1t never comes just remember
that the talent of making home may
be yours, and even though you can
only exercise it in single room you
must not bury it and count it of no
value.-RUTH AsHMoRE, in The La
