An evening spent IN singing and IN Dis
cussing a COLLATION..
Instead of the usual business meeting last
night the Piasterers' Union held its annual
social reunion, and the reason for this jolli-
featlon was the great prosperity of the
union during the last year. The hope was
expressed that the coming twelve months
would result in the same continued pros
perity.
Instead of the usual dry detail of routine
matters the evening was spent in singing
and in the discussion OF collation. which
had been prepared. Peter Roberts delivered
an address on the work accomplished by the
union during the year. The Horse
shoe Glee Club. which was in at
tendance, furnished string music, and
songs were sung by r. Downing, H.
Langshaw. r. Crabb. with quartet by
MessrS. Derning, Roberts, Langshaw aud
Baily.
One of the features of the evening was
the singing of "Pollywog in the POOP by
Messrs. simpson, Duff, Corcoran and Keck,
and Brother Richardson for fifteen minutes
kept his audience in roars OF laughter by his
stump speech on "Woman's Rights" All
the members had most enjoyable time, the
utmost goodwill and cheer prevailing dur
ing the meeting.

The Demands of the Chronicles Typos

There was some promise yesterday of the
Typographical Union ordering strike of
printers on the Chronicle, but at the eleventh
hour the managers of that journal decided to
agree to the unions terms. The trouble
arose over disagreement about the meas
uring OF certain printed matter, there hav-
ing been an attempt on the part of the pa
per to pay local news rates for the compost
ton of advertising notices in certain edi-
ton. Under the rules of the union the
notices mentioned should have been paid
for as agate and not "miniOn." After a
conference with the committee of the union
the managers agreed to accede to the pro-
posed terms, but said that an appeal in the
case would be made to the International

II has been urged that the Indian will not
allow himself to be treated according to modern
methods and that there is, therefore, no neces-
sity for any increase in the Indian medical
force. Such argument will not stand. The
Pine Ridge physician is DR.. G. A. Eastman, q
full-blood Santee Sioux, and he tells me there
is no trouble in treating the Indian after the
objects and methods Of the treatment have
been explained. Indians know nothing of the
character Of civilized medicine, and il Is not
strange that they should be . little sus-
picious; explanation is necessary. Very
naturally they receive the necessary explana-
tons with greater readiness when the informa-
ton comes directly rom a practitioner who il
of their own race. and in q little while I'M
bounded confidence takes the place of dis
trust. The wounded prisoners who we're in
the hospital here objected very strenuously
to being treated by army surgeons,
alleging as reason that it was
soldiers that had been the cause of their
wounds, and they therefore never wanted to
see uniform again Refusals to submit to
amputation were due rather to ignorance than
to superstition. No Indian Ia ever known to
have voluntarily suffered amputation and any

done by this evangelical agency. More than
1000 Indians on the Pine Ridge reservation
have been baptized and confirmed and there are
over ], 100 Indian and haif-breed COMMITMENTS
within Bishop Hare's jurisdiction. The principal
missionary on the Ogallala reservation is the
Rev. Charles Cook, a highly educated Indian
and an earnest worker. At present he is in
Washington with the Pine Ridge delegation of
warriors and farmers. He came here a little
more than five years ago and il everywhere re-
spected. In addition to the church at the
agency there are a number Of mission stations
scattered all over the reservation. Two are at
Medicine Root, fifty miles from the agency. an
other is at Corn creek. sixty-five miles from
the parent church. The most attractive of
them is at Porcupine Tail; it was erected by
