TWO VICIOUS INDIANS.
They Attack an Old Man and Break
His Arm.

Charlie, Victoria Indian, was taken to the
health Office yesterday afternoon about $50
O'Clock with broken arm. Charlie is an old
man and cannot speak word OF English. One
of his companions acted as interpreter and gave
an account OF the affair TO DR.. Sparkling.
He said the old man was on the tide flats
digging clans when two strange Indians APP
preached and tried TO take the clans from
Charles basket This did not suit the old man.
He tried to protect his property. One of the
Indians picked up long club and hit Charlie
on the left arm. Then the assailants
took the clans and went away, and
left their owner 10 make his way
back to Ballast island, where his friends live
The pain from the injury was intense, causing
the poor clam digger to cry like a child when he
appeared at the health office. DIR. Spaulding ex-
amined the arm and found that the blow had
broken both the ulna and radius. The fractures
were reduced and the party returned to their
tents ON the island. The men who committed
the assault escaped.

thing is superficial in the extreme. There may be
a good deal of difficulty in certain mat

LIVING CHEAP HERE.
So Says . Nova Scotfan Whs Has
Traveled Widely.

Mr. D. !. Power, business man of Halifax.
who Is making pleasure tour OF the racine
coast, is stopping at the Occidental hotel he
has seen good deal of the world, having visited
South Africa, Australia, the islands OF the Pa
cihc and south America. In speaking OF his
travels he said last night: "You will find when
you have made the rounds that the United
States is q pretty good place to live In Men
have an easier time and get better pay than
elsewhere. In Australia business Is sometimes
booming. and high prices are paid for labor and
other things well: but Aus tralia is not on the
6rmest sort of basis, and there are severe
period of depression. Once in the Barbados l
worked for IS month and my board, but the
superintendent of the plantation himself earned
only SO. South Africa, they say, is rapidly de-
veloping Just at present. beautiful country,
rich, and with perfect climate.
sin Canada you will find that . dollar goes
about as far as it does anywhere. The people
spend little in pleasures or vices. reporter,
for example, gets very low pay. l suppose the
best ones in all Nova Scotia do not earn more
than 500 or $500 a year.
"Halifax itself is a very old and stable city,
which makes slow but sure progress. The peo-
pie are largely interested in the cod and mack
erel fisheries of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland,
which supply the markets of America and a
large part of Europe with those fish. The fish
exports of Nova Scotia alone amount to 49, 900
ayear.
"People talk as if this part Of the United
States were expensive to live in. do not think
so. The necessities of life are lower than in the
East, though the luxuries are higher. There
should be little or no actual suffering here.
Cold is one of the great causes of discomfort in
other parts OF the country, but here the
weather is SO mild that there cam
not be much intense suffering. Then, too,
an abundance of waste wood can be had for the
mere picking up. Were the poor of New York
able to find within half an hours walk all the
wood they would need for warming their shan
ties, the benevolent societies there would find
much OF their occupation gone.
"Flour, the great staff OF life, is fully as cheap
here as in the East; while meats cost less, and
salmon and other varieties of fish are so abund-
ant that they cost very little. No! if men
wouldn't waste their money in drink and other
vices. the earning of good livelihood ought to
be easy"

rRUruFULNEss OF SCRIPTURES.
Rev. DR.. Green, of Princeton, Discusses
the Oueation in a Sermon.


PRINCETON, N. j., Oct Prev. DR.. Green,
senior professor of theology in the seminary
and moderator OF the last general assembly, who
is, perhaps, the most profound Biblical student
opposed to a revision of the Confession of Faith,
preached yesterday before the college students,
and in the course of his sermon, after reviewing
his well-known argument for verbal inspiration
OF the scriptures, said:
The question is as to the general trustworthi-
ness OF the Bible. Can we accept the Old Testa-
ment at all If 1t is full of false statements in
historical facts which are not incidental but
essentialf Are the stories of the miracles the
emanations OF the heated Oriental brain, and
were the prophets the directors of the people
II human history contained in the Bible is
untrue, can we accept as true the statements for
which II is the only authority concerning God7
This is the point which we are fighting, not as
TO mere verbal inaccuracy, but as TO broad truth
fulness and trustworthiness of the Bible against
destructive criticism which throws wide open
the gate which would lead US down into self
seeking rationalism.

OF the Indians and at their request Troop of
