The wreck Near PuyalIup.

The wreck on the Northern Pacific railroad
near Puyallup on Tuesday evening involved the
destruction of five or six car loads OF freight,
which means quite loss to the company. The
cause of it was that west bound freight No. 81
overlooked the fact that east-bound freight No. "a
had not yet passed and the two trains met head
on. The trainmen jumped in time to save them
selves and no person was hurt The track was
blocked for several hours.

he passed to the happy-hunting-

passed his last days at an Indian vii
lage called Soboba which is situated
iu the northern part of San Diego

one OF the most picturesque and in

tribes of the extreme West. He was
unique, in that be was noted for his
industry, honesty and sobriety. In
his younger days Victoriana was a
very s'big 1njun, " as was also his ia
ther before him. The latter was one
of the makers of Indian laws now ex-
listing among the redskins, and his
word was always final in the settle

withstanding his loss ofsight, how
ever, he Travelled about on trusty
horse, having gone to town on horse
back on the very day Of his death.
He was a true stole, with the indo-
mitable courage and indiffersQce to
hardship SO characteristic OF the
American Indian. Victoriana was
supposed to have reached the re-

RUSSIAN GIRLS,
Nearly All of Them Marry Young
Without Long EnPapements.

Nearly All of Them Marry Young
Without Long Engagements.
The daughter is a great pet in Rus
sian families, perhaps because there
are generally more sons than daugh-
tiers. Take the younger members OF
the imperial family as an example,
and we find twenty two grand dukes
and only seven grand duchesses; and
this may be stated to be about the
average proportion in most families
The necessity for men in the rural dis
trlcts as assistants in the agricultural
labors OF their fathers, has given rise
to a saying: "One son is no son; two
sons are half son; but three are a
whole son. ..
Notwithstanding the pride and sat
isfaction with which the birth of a
boy is hailed, the little girl is the darl-
ing; the object of the tenderest affec-
ton and care OF parents and broth
ers, not to speak OF other adoring rel
atives. Much is not expected of her
in the way of assistance in the family,
she is INDUCED as far as their means
and circumstances will permit, and
she takes it quietly and as her due,
but it is rarely that she does not vol
unfairly and tacitly contribute her
share in helping her mother. Her oc-
equations are much about the same
as those Of all European girls, but
parish work in Russia existeth not for
her. She cannot have classes at
Sunday schools, as religions is taught
by priests or deacons.
It would be thought quite extra
ordinary and improper were young
unmarried girl to visit thesick or poor
in towns, but in villages it is some
times done under the direction OF mann
ma or grandmamma. She is undoubt-
edly. fond Of pleasures, likes to- be we'll

Music is not the Russian girls forte.

tukas, though they thoroughly under

ceptions, but it is seldom you find a.
girl able to play o. quadrille or polka
off-hand.
Girls marry very young in Russia,
and there are very few Of those most
estimable individuals called oldmaids.
There are no colonies for the Russians
to run away too, and satisfies show
that the birth of boys much: exceed
those of the girls.
Long engagements are not approved
OF, they seldom last longer than a few
months, during which time the iancee
is the mistress of the house. Her girl
friends assemble to help sew the dowry,
the sewing afternoon generally ending
in a dance after tea, when the bride
groom drops in with a few bachelor
friends. Another wedding is, thus
often arranged, and so on, little by
little, till, like the fifty one cards in
the game of "old maid" they pair off,
and one, generally of the sterner sex,

BERLIN, June 20.--A great religious func-
ton will open at Treves on August %, when
the rarely-seen "holy coat" will be exhibited
in the Cathedral of st. Peter and St Helen
there TO the Catholic faithful during six weeks.
The holy coat is relic which has been pre-
served with the greatest reverence in the
Treves Cathedral for many years, and is es-
teemed as its greatest treasure. 1t is alleged
to be the seamless coat worn by Our Saviour
1t is said to have been discovered by the En-
press Helena during her memorable visit to
Palestine in the fourth century.
After numerous vicissitudes the coat was
deposited in the Cathedral of st. Peter and
st. Helen, and since the year 1896 has at ex-
ceedingly long intervals, been exhibited to the
faithful. Miraculous curative properties are
ascribed to the relic. The exhibition of the
holy coat in 1874 is memorable for the reaction
which 1t produced, leading to the secession of
the Ronge and German Catholics from the
Church of Rome. The exhibitions have al
ways been attended by almost countless
throngs, and an enormous influx of pilgrims
is expected in August. The Rhine railways

BERLIN, June 20.-Mr. William Hayden Ed
wards, the American Consul General, who, in
the beginning Of his career, encountered much
opposition on account of his strict adherence
to the rules of the State and Treasury Depart
ments, has received well-merited compliment
by a decision of the German Minister OF Com
merce, which has just been published in the
reports of the Berlin Board of Trade.
The Berlin merchants had appealed to the Min
lister protesting against Mr.. Edwards action
as being unfair to German trade. The Minister
replied that after careful investigation he
found that the United States Consul
General had simply done his duty, and that
there was no reason for complaint. The reply
of the Minister is couched in terms highly
complimentary to Mr.. Edwards.
