HELP THE INDIANS.
Missionary Work Among Them
by Christian Women.

The meeting of the Women's National
Indian Association. Northern California
Auxiliary. called last night In the First Con-
gregational Church. did not meet with very
encouraging response in the way Of attend
ance, but the enthusiasm went on according
to announcement just the same
Mrs. Nellie B. Eyster presided. She said
it was the object of the association to secure
legal and political aid for and suitable in
structors to send among the 100000 Indians
now scattered over some sixty reservations
in various parts Of the nation. What they
need most to bring them out of their low
condition Is industrial education and occupa-
ton. Under like conditions they are as capa-
BILE as the whites. "and one Of the purposes
of our association" she said, sis to share
our conditions with them Seventeen
thousand Indians are now being educated
by the Government, but without the more
enduring influences of evangelization, which
the association proposes TO make one OF the
strongest elements OF its labors, the good
work of the Governments largely misspeDt.
Mrs ID. j. Spencer, who has spent much
of her life among the Hoopa Indians of
Humboldt County. gave an interesting ac-
count of their condition. All told, there
are about 1000 in that section, including the
Mad River and klamath tribes. Many of
them are intelligent enough to realize their
for the relief they so much desire. They
have appealed in vain to the agents, and
have received only ill-treatment in return.
They say to the ladies. "Y OIL are no worse
off than we are; you have no vote, no office,
no AK to grind. You can hear us; we can
talk to you. What we want is the white
mans law, the white mans school and the
white mans rights.
Mrs. Spencer's experience among them
convinces her that they are in earnest, and
would be better people If given chance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burgess. who had lived
long among the Indians in Nebraska and
Indian Territory, he as agent and she as
teacher. testified to the aptitude of the In
dams and their anxiety as race to become
civilized. Ali they want is n chance. In
dustrial education with eivlizing influences
would make them valuable citizens and re-
lieve the Government largely of the expense
of caring for them.

The trial of the Mcdonald case was re-
sumed by Judge Coffey yesterday. Mrs.
Ransome stated that Captain Mcdonald
died in 1889. and that she had been with
him frequently during the illness which pre-
coded his death, but at the time she was
confined to her bed by broken ankle. She
finally went In a coupe to see him, and
found him quite angry because she had not
visited him before. He asked to see the
boy, and she promised TO send him.
The witness declared that Mcdonald
shortly before his death told her that he
had provided for her. and seemed annoyed
when she spoke about it. She identified
photographs which he had given her and
her son, and declared that she was unable
to attend the funeral on account of her
broken ankle. The boy had gone to work
in the rolling-mills few weeks previous
TO this event. Since that time he has worked
on the steamer Alameda and in the mills.
Mrs. Ransome, or Claude Lee. said that
she married her first husband in 1875, and
married RansOme four years later. The
latter was theatrical man, from whom,
with Captain McDonalds assistance, she
obtained divorce in 1885,
