PRINCESS WINNEMUCCA.
The Only Indian Woman on the Pacific
Coast who Was Conspicuous.

The Only Indian woman ON the racine
Coast who Was Conspicuous.
Princess Sarah Winnemucca, daugh-
ter Of old Chief Winnemucca OF the
Piute tribe, died in Montana recently
while on visit to her sister. She was
a remarkable woman and had been
conspicuous in the dealings with the
Indians of the Pacific coast for twenty
five years, always trying to lead them
into the ways of civilization, having
been educated by Catholic sisters. In
the early days of Oregon and Idaho the
Piute tribe, which included the Ban
nacks, Sheep Eaters. Weisers, Malheurs,
and all the Snake River Indians, COM
mitted many depredations, but under
her influence the old chief, as far as his
jurisdiction extended, forced the tribes
to be at peace.
The proprietor of the Walla Walla
Statesman tells this story of his meet
ing with the princess in the Malheur
country in the spring of 1878:
"She was then on her way to the
Malheur reservation in the vain en-
deavor to prevent the reservation In
dams from going on the warpath with
Buffalo Horn. One night one of the
horses of her team got away, and to
help her out we loaned a young fellow
who was along with her one of our
horses to hunt the lost one. Charles
Robinson, of this city, and boy was
along with us at the time, and for the
help we rendered her we always gave
her credit for saving our little company
from being killed. The Indians had
already donned their war paint, and we
were in the midst of them. The very
day we arrived on the reservation every
thing was looking dark. Sarah was all
the time in consultation with Chief
Eagan and sent for us. Going to her
wickiup she introduced us to Eagan,
and intimated that we had better get,
and stand not upon the order OF getting.
AS we only had one gun among our
crowd the advice was taken. After this
Sarah Joined Towards outfit and fol
lowed him throughout the Bannack
campaign as a guide and possible In
terpreter in case of desire to sur
render on the part of the hostiles
When the war ended she was in great
demand by the interior department au-
thorities, and did good work in having
the remnants of her tribe removed to
various other reservations where they
could do no mischief. She was the only
Indian woman on this coast who ever
took prominent part in settling the
Indian question, and as such her mem
DRY should be respected. IN. Y. Sun.

But for the soul still hlgher aQapta-
ton; fountain in which it may wash;
a ladder by which it may climb; song
of endless triumph that it may sing; a
crown of unfading light that it may
wear. Christ came to save-came with
cross on his back; came with spikes
in his feet; came when no one else
would come, to do work which no one
else would do. See how suited to mans
condition is what God has done for him!
Man is a sinner; here is pardon. He
has lost Gods image; Christ retraces it
He is helpless; Almighty grace is prof
Tered. He is lost wanderer; Jesus
brings him home. He is blind; and at one
touch of Him who cured Bartimens,
eternal glories stream into his soul.
Jesus, sing Thy grace Cure of worst
disease! Hammer to smite off heaviest
chain! Light for the thickest darkness!
Grace divine! Devils scott at it, men
reject it, but Heaven celebrates it!
wish you good cheer for the national
health. Pestilence, that in other years
has come to drive out its thousand
hearses to Greenwood and Laurel Hill

GUS thing to be we'll How strange that
we should keep our health when one
breath from a marsh, or the sting of an
insect, or the slipping of foot or the
falling of tree branch might fatally
assault our life! Regularly the lungs
work, and their motion seems to be a
spirit within us painting after its immor'
tally. Our sight fails not though the
air is so full of objects which by one
touch could break out the souls win

THE FArHER OF THE FAIR.

Less attention has been paid in this
country to the death of NJ. Alph aud, the
father of the French Fair of 1899, to
whose mastery skill in organization so
much of the success Of the fair was due.
NJ. Applaud was not temporary factor
called forth by the exigencies of the
fair, but permanent official in charge
of the vast public works of Paris. He
was the worthy successor of Baron
Haussmann. His zeal was indefatiga-
BILE in improving the city, in organizing
shows, in laying out spots which in
beauty would add attraction TO the most
attractive of cities. He lived just long
enough to turn the exposition buildings
and grounds into beautiful pleasure
resort they are now one of the most at
tractive spots of the city.
In person NJ Applaud was man of
medium height and stout build, with
kind, fatherly face and pleasant eye
and voice. The writer interviewed
NJ. Applaud, after the close of the Paris
show, on the prospects OF the coming
one at Chicago, and found the Director
submit as gracefully TO the pumping
process as an American. He advised
that the Chicago people should open
their fair on Sundays, should put their
buildings not SO far apart as to make
walking fatigue and should pay special
attention TO the beautifying of the
grounds and providing pleasant loung-
ing places for visitors--in all which re-
spects his advice is to be followed.
II will be NJ. Alphaud's chief claim 20
immortality that he organized the most
successful fair on record. Perhaps the

IRON AND STEEL.

II looks increasingly probable that
within the coming year there will be
considerable activity in iron and steel
ship building in this country, since one
of the chief drawbacks has always been
the high cost of ship plates, the price of
which has, until recently, ranged at ~
to AZ cents per pound. When sheared to
shape, contracts can now be placed for
this commodity at ct cents per pound,
and as the material is figured at about
one-half the cost of a ship. this reduction
in the price of plate iron and steel must
enable American ship builders to pro-
duce vessel at about % per cent. less
than heretofore. The finer qualities of
pig iron can now be bought at from $15
to $l7 per ton of 2,240 pounds.
If these prices are long maintained,
the iron industries of the United States
must soon grow to gigantic proportions,
not only in the bulk and machinery of
the ships themselves, but in everything
in which iron and steel enter as a chief
article of cost.
