THE INDIAN SOLDIERS.

A year ago the War Department
conceived the idea of enlisting Indians
in the military service. Recruiting
officers were sent to Indian reserva-
tions to explain to the noble red man
the advantages to him OF becoming a
soldier and serving Uncle Sam in the
capacity of lighters. Several compa-
niss we're organized, mostly cavalry,
as the Indians manifested a decided
preference for that branch of the ser
vice. One of those Indian companies
is stationed at Fort Whipple, Arizona.
An army paymaster visited the bar
Racks at that place a few days ago and
paid the troops stationed there. 1t
was the first time the Indians had
money since they entered the army
and they proceeded at once to expend
it in purchasing fire water. This their
uniforms, which are the regulation
army style, enabled them to do. A

opportunity to get drunk they will
avail themselves Of it and that when
under the influence of liquor they are
more dangerous to white troops than

Fair Play.

A number of our eastern Repu bill
can exchanges are urging the U. S.
Senate to unseat Calvin s. Brice,
Democratic Senator elect from Ohio
to succeed "Coal Oil" Payne, on the
ground that he IS resident Of the
State of New York. If the Senate
unseat Brice for that reason it should
next turn its attention to Jones and

LARGEST FARM IN THE WORLD
"A Million and n HrIf Acres in One Tract

A Million and n HrIf Acres in One Tract
Down in LouIsianL.
In the extreme southwest corner of
Louisiana there is farm measuring
one hundred miles north and south, and
twenty-five miles cast and west. The
million and half acres of which it is
made up were purchased about seven
years ago from the state of Louisiana
and from the United States government
by syndicate of northern capitalists,
by whom it is now farmcd.
This immense tract is divided into
convenient pasture stations or ranches,
the fencing alone having cost fifty thou
sand dollars.
All the cultivating, ditching, etc, is
done by steam power, tract Of about
half mile wide being taken, and an
engine placed on each side. The en-
gines are portable, and work a cable
attached to four ploughs, the area
ploughed in this way, with the labor of
only three men, being thirty acres.
There is not single draught horse
on the estate. Horses are, however.
used for the hertlsmen who look after
the sixteen thousand head of cattle
upon the estate, which is travcrsed for
thirty-six miles by the Southern Pacific
railway. The company has three stcaru-
boats upon the three hundred miles Uf
navigablc waters which traverse their
estate, and also possesses a shipyard, q
bank and rice mills.
The largest farm in England is just
about l,G00th of the size of the United
States farm above described and in

operations in Europe are carried on

PIERCED BY An ARROW.

Curious Story of the Breast Bone of q
Brant That Was Shot III Alaska
A very surprising curiosity has been
placed in the National museum. 1t is
the breast bone of 4 wild brant trans
fixed by an arrow. The bird, which
weighed about fifteen pounds, was shot
in the Kankakee marshes, Indiana,
with gun and subsequently eaten,
but the part of its anatomy mentioned
was preserved.
Once upon n time-it must have been
some years before, SO a Washington
Star reporter was told-this particular
brant was summering in Alaska, where
others of it's species gather every year
for the purpose of mating. An In ian
shot at the bird with an arrow wli.E
had for its point piece of q dcer'S rih
seven inches long. His aim was So
true that the weapon went clear
through the "keer' of the fowls breast
bone and stuck there, the shaft falling
to the ground. 1t is in this way that
the natives of those parts make their
arrows, in order that the shafts may
not be lost. The latter fall when the
game is struck and are picked up again
Though transfxed in this fashion the
brant was too sturdy a bird to yield it's
life SO readily, no vital organs having
been touched, and it calmly flew away,
doubtless to the disgust of the hunter
After awhile the wound healed and the
fowl managed to get along very COM
forJably with the deer's rib through it's
breast Years afterward it was slain with
more sure leaden shot in Indiana, and
now its breast bone has been deposited
at the National museum of this city. Its
tragic history is known thus in detail
because the arrowhead itself told it all.
Each Indian tribe in Alaska makes it's
weapons after pattern peculiar to it.
self, and Prof. Mason has thus been
enabled to determine that the brant
was struck with the arrow on the
Yukon river and nowhere else. Further
more, he knows positively at what part
Of the Yukon the thing occurred, and he
can even locate the spot within two or
three miles. 1t is an affair quito unique
that bird should be thus impalcd and
yet carry the instrument of death so
long and in such n manner. Besides,
the story has additional interest in the
bearing it has upon the study of this
birds migration.
Inc arrow mead IS stuck through the
keel of the breast bone precisely at
right angles with the latter, projecting
on either side about an equal distance.
To protect the birds flesh against its
irritation bony material has been de-
posted around the weapon for half an
inch each way. The piece of dcer's rib
was Strengthened by the maker of the
arrow with sort of wrench in the
process of manufacture, after which it
was shaved down and polished to fine
point. Near the butt end of it is q sin
gle barb, for the instrument is of the
character known as ranking weapon
-that is to say, after entering the flesh
of the victim it works its way into the
vitals, eventually causing death. An
Indian thinks nothing of following a
deer thus wounded for many days in the
expectation of securing the prey finally

Senator RaPshST on Ballot Reform.

We gladly publish the following clip
ping from the Harrisburg Daily
Last night the democrats of the
Senate and House of Representatives
met in joint caucus to decide upon a
course of political action to be pursued
In regard to Ballot Reform and the call
ing of q Constitutional Convention.
Strange to say the democrats, when
they first met, were by no means united
upon these two great questions. Many
speeches and criticisms we're made pro
aud CON. At late hour Senator Rapsher
Of Mauch Chunk obtained the hoor
and In . ringing speech reviewed the
arguments at length which had been
made during the evening, and pointed
Out in detail the duty of the democratic
party on those all-important questions,
II It ever again hoped to be crowned
With victory in Pennsylvania. He said,
that II the democratic party did not
come out square and flat-footed in favor
Of . Constitutional Convention, at the
earliest possible day, las that was the
only way to get real, genuine ballot
reform, that at the next election the
democratic party would find itself hope
lessly in the "soup". He also said that
II was supreme nonsense for members
Of this caucus to say that the demo-
cratic party was not committed to it,
because the last State Convention did
not adopt in its platform specific plank
for q Constitutional Convention. The
Senator said, that technically such was
the fact, but fellow democrats, do not
commit a political crime against your
party by assuming that the people are
In humor to be trihed with and that
they will search for, and be satisfied
18th Rna oyuu NachpfooIftiac Tho fo 81
IL, that our candidates for the several
State offices expressly promised it,
during the late campaign, wherever
they went all over this broad Common
wealth,--in every city, borough ana
hamlet that they visited. But this Is
not all, Governor Pattison in his In
augural Address repeated what he had
20 often said during the campaign
that the only way to get real, genuine
ballot reform was through Constitu-
6onal Convention. The masses of the
people responded Amen ;-he is a Cover
nor that means to keep his promises.
The people accepted the pledges of the
leaders Of the party and as the result
shows, trusted them. That is enough
for me to compel me to trust the people
and as long as we believe in our present
system and form of Government, no
Muo NllAAou Can COnblnboutly nchlldle
bo trust the will of the people. This is
mere outline Of the speech which was
the leading feature Of the evening and
ended the debate. A resolution pledg-
ing the democrats of both branches of
the Legislature TO stand firm for a
Constitutional Convention and gen
uine ballot reform was unanimously
adopted after the Senator'S brilliant
speech. Senator Rapsher was heartily
and the members Of the house for his
foroible and Well-timed remarks.
