may reside with her while at college.

brate the wedding this fall. This, it is
stated, has never been the intention. The
wedding will not take place until young
Mr.. Rust has completed his studies at
Harvard, which he begins this year.

KILLED BY AN EAGLE.
An Indian ChlId Falls q Victim to
the khuTp Efird

SAULT STE. MARE, Mich, Sept. T.
John Cowadge, a Chippewa Indian liv-
ing On the sAore of Echo Lake, started
out yesterday to guide Il party that
was gong CT into Canada. His Oily
child, gil! Daby, was on tbs outside
OF the hut near the door, his wife
being on the opposite side of the little
dwelling. When the Indian father
and the party had proceeded half a
mile o. so they Saw an enormous bald
eagle clrcllng over the edge of Echo
lake near the hut. Thee was no
thought of danger to the child, but
they turned back to get a shot at the
bird.
While on their way back the eagle
made sudden swOop to the earth
The indian quickened mis- pace and
reached the cabin in advance of the
white men. When thew arrived at the
lake they saw dead eagle of unusual
size and formidable appearance lying
upen the ground. Near it was the
indian babe, torn and bleeding, and
also dying.
The scream and rush of the great
bird upon the child brought the Indian
mother upon the scene. Her babe was
already several feet in the air, held by
the ugly talOns of the eagle. The
child was evidently too heavy for the
bird and was dropped to the earth.
The fall eau ed its death. The eagle
made another plunge for it's victim, but
was fought off by the mother, who
succeeded in driving it away. AS the
bird arose in the air it was shot by the
father, who had arrived too late to
save the child.

ment, and used abusive personal epithets
toward her. Furthermore, size alleged,
he had exercised a tyrannical, overbearin 2
disposition IN the government of the
family. The plaintiff further set forth
that the reverend defendant had acted in
such a manner that on February 6, 1891,
the plaintiff was obliged to and did flee to
the home OF her eldest son for safey.
Mrs. Hoffman, set up the further charge
that Mr.. Hoffman, did not provide suffi

eloquent pea. He stated in the course Of
his long talk that he loved his wife de-
votedly; that were she cut into two-inch

not think the divine sincere. The judge

Her Departure.

LONDON, Sept. Mrs. Besant, who
| recently became a convert to theoso-
ply, and is regarded by many as the
spiritual if not the official successor Of
the late Nine. Blavatslly, made her
farewell speech today before the Sec
ular Society, of which, before her con-
version to occultism, she was n shining
light. The meeting was
crowded one and the scene
was affecting as Mrs Besant
described her former associations, the
method of her conversion and bade
them adieu. She declared that secu-
larlsm was no longer able to satisfy
her intellectual and spiritual nature
In theosophy she found all that she
craved. her attention had first been
drawn toward the new, doctrine when
some newspapers asked her to re-
view Nine Blavatskys book, ''The Sc
cret Doctrine" She became interested
in the book and was thus led TO con-
suit the author. That event was the
happlest occurrence of her life. It
opened a new world of truth. Mrs
Besant went on to defend Nine. Bla-
vatsky against the charges of being q
fraud. This accusation" she re.
marked bitterly, lis as true as was the
charge leveled against me some

she went on, "but | hold theosophy to

There were tears in the eyes of the
speaker as she hastily concluded her
remarks and left the platform. Amid
the cheers Of the audience she passed
out of the hall and was driven off.
The society at once adopted resolu-
tions eulogizing Mrs. Besants charac-
ter and past servi es and expressing re-
greet at her resignation from the mem

Indian Murders in Wisconsin May BE
Avenged by Hanging

DEPERE, Wis, Sept. Sit is reported
by Indian residents on the Oneida reser-
vation that on August 20, Daniel Mon
toxew, an Indian was murdered 1t is stat
ed that his pigs had previously broken in
to a neighbor's cornfeld, and that on
that evening, upon hearing the report of
gun in the direction of the cornield, he
left his house to investigate He never
returned, and his dead body, bearing
marks of ill-treatment, was found in the
bush the following afternoon by children
who were out berrying. In due course
he was buried, but the facts being noised
abroad it was determined to disintcr the
body and have an examination. This
was appointed for Saturday, but the result
is not yet known here.
Suspicion appears to rest on the neigh
Dor with whom he is said to have been on
unfriendly terms in consequence OF the
depredations of his pigs.
Although the Oneidas now own their

their own tribal laws, in accordance with
