MEDICINE MEN FOR INDIANS.

The Government Physicians and Surgeons
Stationed ut the Agencies.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-A feature Of the
reservation system that deserves more at
tention than il has received Ii the medical
treatment which the government furnishes
to the Indians, except those Of the civilized
tribes.
Commissioner Morgan urges that the
number of physicians now employed for
this purpose is inadequate, and this
seems to lie the case at some
agencies. Tie Navajos have popu-
lation Of 1900 on territory of 1900
square miles. and only ono physician. The
Crows have 200 people, on an area hithe.-
10 OF 1900 square miles. and they also have
but one. A single physician looks ont for
Pine Ridge agency with its h5O0 Indians,
another il stationed at Standing kocl, With
its 1000. and a third at Kosebud, with It's
900. In these and other cases there may
be actually less work than the numbers in
dictate. since many Of the Indians hold to
their traditional simples and TO the in-
cantations and grotesqus prescriptions
of their own medicine men. Still,
the commissioner concludes that "thou-

are utterly unable to have medical care

One notable fact is that while there are
eiehty-two government physicians in the

are appointed without examination,

Empress Frederick Leaves Paris
Ahead OF Time to Avoid q
Demonstration.
Great Precaution Taken to Prevent
tho Rabble From Giving
Offense.
Stormy Scene Between Victoria and Wales
st tPoTtsmouth-Empre press Frederick
Arrives In England.

PARIS, Feb. 27.--Empsess Frederick. Of
Germany. left Paris this morning. No un-
pleasant incident marked her departure.
The gravity Of the situation, however, can
be judged from the fact that, acting under
advice from high quarters, the empresa
changed her route for fear Of being insult
ed. It was publicly announced yesterday
evening, and again this morning,
that Empress Frederick intended To
leave for Calais at 1870 a. m., but
she left two hours earlier and was
driven rapidly to the Gard du Nord, where
she entered the train for Boulogne. The
empress, however, did not embark for Eng
land at that port. but proceeded from there
to Calais, where the royal yacht was await
ing her. In spite Of the precautions several
hundred people gathered about Gard du
Nord. The crowd was civil and quiet, tn
majority of the men taking off their hats as
the empress passed. There were no insult
ing cries of any description. The empress
appeared perfectly calm and entered tho
car secured for her special use She cor
daily bid sdieu to the representatives of
the German embassy, who accompanied her
to the station.
At the reception yesterday evening Ger
vex, the painter, was presented to the en-
press on behalf of a portion of the French
artists. He expressed the regret they felt
at not being able to send their works Of art
to the Berlin exposition, but they could not
place themselves at variance with their COL
leagues. The empress in reply said she ap-
preciated the justice of the French artists
motives and accepted them in friendly
spirit, though she regretted that the artists
OF France should not be represented ut
Berlin.
Empress Frederick and her party arrived
at Gard du Nord in three landaus. The DO
lice officials had taken every precaution to
protect the empress. body of 500 police
men being at the depot. The empress was
accompanied by the whole STAFF OF the Ger
man embassy. Count Won Munster and a
number Of police accompanied the empress
to Boulogne and from thence to Calais.

His Sign Manual,

Mr., S., the theatrical manager, though
in other respects a thorough business man,
could neither read nor write, but kept a
private secretary, who had strict iniunc-
tons not to betray the secret. Neverthe-
less, this deficiency did not remain con
cealed from the members of his troop, and
the manager consequently often found
himself in serious fix. One day he was
dining Mt a hotel, when gold watch WAS
raifled for. Each Of the guests staked two
thalers, wrote his name on Il scrap OF
paper and threw it into "A hat.
Our manager was dreadfully perpleXed
when his turn came TO sign his name.
However, in order not 80 expose himself
ne pretended TO write, rolled up the blank
piece of paper Sud threw it into the hat
along with the rect. As chance would have
it, this very paper WAS drawn. General
establishment when it was found to be
blank. But b, the low comedian, who
was present, asked to have it shown 20
him, and when he had examined it care
fully he gravely exclaimed: That is our
managers handwriting. | should know it
among a thousand. "-Thuringer Zeitung
