Of uncertainty. While it is not known who

Miss Elaine Goodale, one of the Goodale
sisters, the poetesses Of the Berkshire Hills of
Massachusetts,, will, it is said, be married to
DR.. Charles A. Eastman. an almost full-blooded
Sioux, whose father was chief of o Dakota
tribe and whose mother was half Indian. DR..
Eastman took his degree from the Harvard
Medical School last summer and few years
ago got his degree from Dartmouth College
DE Is cultivated man, both physically and
intellectually, and one of the brightest Indians
who has ever come over to civilization. Miss
Goodale is scarcely out of her teens, beautiful
finely educated, intellectual, full of life and
warm lover Of nature. She left Gen. Arm
strongs school, where she had been teaching
negroes and Indians for three years, to be a
teacher at o day school among the Sioux at the
Lower Brnle agency Dakota.
Young Eastman himself is o very interesting
person. In college he was thoughtful
student and a capital man ON the campus at
foot ball as we'll.
He came east with purpose. It was very
much one with Miss Goodale's idea to anchor

persecuted tribes of Indians, as Helen Hunt
said In her book. He worked hard. patiently,
and after settling the problem to his own solu-

His name in the Dakota tongue was Tawa
Kanhdiota which being interpreted is MANY

much personal beauty that she was known in
the tribe as the ''demi-goddess." His mother
died in giving him birth.

only American who ever discountenanced

Dartmouth he expressed desire to see real

RIDER HAGGARD ARRIVES.
He VIII 90 to Mexico to Study the Ante

He VIII 90 to MEXICO to Study the Axtecs.
Mr.. H. Rider Haggard and his wife arrived in
New York on Saturday. Mr.. Haggard il on his
way to Mexico where he intends TO gather mn
terial for novel about the Aztecs. The novel;
list is tall, and has the typical English voice and
accent, but none Of the typical British stiffness.
He has prominent nose and wears blonde
mustache. His face is rather narrow and his
forehead square cut but high. He wore pair
Of gold trimmed eyeglasses attached to his vest
by gold chain. Mr.. Haggard was greatly sur
prised to find the New York climate so much
milder than the one he had left behind. Mrs.
Haggard is much shorter than her husband.
She has pleasant English face and apparently
believes with her whole heart that Mr.. Haggard
is just about right.
As soon as he had registered Mr.. Haggard
leaned against window jamb in the parlor Of
his hotel and proceeded to answer questions
with great good humor. 1t was the first time,
he said. that he had been under the fire Of the
American interviewer.
This 10 my first visit to the states," he said.
II haven't seen much of your country yet, but
was greatly struck with the elevated roads,
which were certainly q novelty, and was i'm
pressed by the beauties of your harbor. We
shall remain only few days in New York and
will then proceed to the city Of Mexico. We
shall go by land, as wish to see the country.
My object is to study the antiquities, in which
am very much interested, particularly those of
the Aztec nation.
Yes, shall probably write new story with
this for the theme, if find the material which
am looking for. I have not maturcd any
plans yet, but my idea is to treat Of men Of
civilized era, probably about the time Of the
Spanish conquest"
Have you any thoughts Of visiting our own
Indiang?"
II cannot tell about that. am to be the
guest OF a friend in Mexico, and my future
movements depend a great deal on his advice.
We hope to return home by way Of the West
Indies if we can find q steamer sailing from
Mexico that way
Mr.. Haggard said he had heard Gen. Lew
Wallace's romance 'The Fair God very highly
spoken Of but he made it point not TO road
books that might travers his territory. lest un-
consciously he should cite from them.
He laughed uproariously when questioned as
to his literary methods. Sometimes he wrote
one way, he said, and sometimes another. He
was not always able to follow the head which
he had made his pen ran away with him-nor
could he do literary work at haphazard. He
needed quiet and the night environment or else
his pen moved haltingly. When he got started
on novel or story he worked as steadily as
possible. Mr.. Haggard hopes to cover good
deal of ground and be home by the last of
April. His wife will accompany him.
