THE COMING INDIAN DELEGATION
What Secretary Noble Proposes to Impress
Upon Their Minds.

What Secretary Noble Proposes to Impress
Upon Their Minds.
The Secretary of the Interior intends to give
full opportunity to the Indians comprising
the delegation to come from Pine Ridge to this
city to express their views on the situation and
to state their grievances. Secretary Noble
has, however, fully decided that the Indians
shall be impressed with one fact before thew
return home, and that is the mode of life of the
Sioux Indians must be changed. He intends that
the policy that shall prevail in the future
shall be based upon the principle that
the Indian must work. He is strongly Of the
opinion that it is unjust to the Indians as well
as to the government to continue to support
the Indians in idleness. The treaty of 1877
made with the Sioux, under which the
government is now providing them with ra-
tions stipulates that. The Indians shall be sup
piled with food until such a time as they shall
become self supporting.
INDIANS MUST DO THEIR PART
Secretary Noble believes that just inference
from this treaty provision is that the Indians
must do their part toward becoming self
supporting, and that it is not lust
or fair to continue indefinitely the period
of the dependence Of these Indians upon the
government. He says that only one-third of
the entire Indian population of the country are
in any measure dependent upon the govern
ment and Of this third the larger PROPORTION
are Sioux. These Indians. the Secretary states.
are able-bodied, are intelligent and there is no
good reason why they should not become indie
pendent.
PRACTICAL EDUCATION.
He believes that the rising generation should
be given practical education, such as would fit
them to earn their living, leaving the more ad
vanced instruction for the future. The Secretary
will speak forcibly and plainly to the Indians.
and he will also in the adoption of any plan for
their future management make this the central
idea

THE WESTERN CONGRESS.

The Western Congress which met
in Denver to day Tuesday will dis
cuss wide range Of subjects, but
has announced as its purpose as fol-
lows:
To unite the people of the States
and Territories west of the Missis-
sippi river for the promotion Of
their common interests.
Among the questions to be con-
sidered will be:
Legislation affecting commerce,
transportation and finance.
Improvement of waterways, lake,
Gulf and Pacific ports.
Markets for Western products.
Promotion of manufacturing and
agricultural interests.
Irrigation and reclamation of arid
lands.
Western mineral lands and their
development.
Cause and effects of business
combination and trusts.
Reciprocity and international
trade extension.
The Indian question and opening
of Indian lands Bnd such other sub
jects as may be worthy of considera-
ton.
All of these questions are Of vital
Importance to Texas and there is no
doubt that if the convention agrees
on a policy to be pursued in regard
to these questions it will have a
marked effect upon congress.

A. Four Footed Eir,I.

There is four footed bird, the
OpisthocohuS cristatus, which has such
anomalies of structure that it is iInpos-
sibIe to class it along with any other
family. 1t is one of those survivors
which tell us of extinct groups of whose
past existence we would otherwise have
remained forever ignorant. These,
the only species of four footed birds,
inhabit the island of Marajo in the
Lower Amazons. 1t is only during in
fancy that this remarkable feature of
these birds is seen, the two fore feet ap-
pearing early in the development of
the embryo, and continuing perfectly
formed for several days after Matching,
when they are gradually shed. 1t is
also known as the hoaetzin, or evil
smelling bird, the flesh having an IN
pleasant odor, making it unpalatable
to both man and carnivorous animals,
which is probably one cause of its sur
vival -London Tit-Bits.

Miscellaneous Items.

Many consider as truth what is
merely sanctifed by age.
There is a constantly growing de-
mand that other people be good.
We never see a poor man without
wondering why he never got rich.
He is the happiest, be he kink or
peasant, who finds peace in his home.
If fathers could be sons to them
selves what good sons they would
be.
In one respect all men are like
the Lord-all believe it was Ewes

The meaner some men are, the
more angelic they want their wives
to be.
It takes a brave man to tell the
truth when a lie would save him
money.
A lie will go long ways, but the
sender usually has TO pay the
freight.
Do not imagine that every man
who says nothing approves of your
conduct.
Perhaps no greater wrong can
be done to any man than to mis-
judge him.
A woman often thinks she is re-
GREETING the lover, when she is only
regretting the love.
There isn't much charitable work
done in this world by people who
do not believe in another.
Advice is like snow: the softer it
falls the longer it dwells upon and
the deeper it sinks into the mind.
More is accomplished by doing
each days work faithfully, than by

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
MEDITERRANEAN WATER.

An ocean-exploring expedition of
of the Vienna Academy of Sciences
has found that the water of the cen
trail basin of the Mediterranean is
warmer, denser, and richer in dis
solved salts, than that of the western
basin. In efforts to determine the
penetration of light into the sea, a
white disk was visible only as far
down as 43 metres, but Photographic
plates were affected at a depth of
500 metres. In going downward,
the quantity of'dissolved oxygen at
first increased, then decreased, be-
coming the same at a depth of 5000
metres as at the surface. No free
carbonic acid was found. The pro-
portion of heterogeneous substances in
solution varied in inverse proper
ton to the depth; that of ammonia
varied but slightly, being greatest at
the lowest depths.
The laughing plant of Arabia
produces black bean like small doses
of which when dried and powdered,
intoxicate like laughing gas. The

with no recollection of his wild an
tics.
DR.. Dowd, of New York, has found
that each cubic inch of soil contains
from $4,000 to 2,25O,OOO minute or

Chloride of ethyl has been found
by French dentists to be very use
full as a local anaesthetic. 1t can be
employed without apparatus, being
put up in Theoretically sealed bottles
drawn out out to a point at one end.
On breaking off the end of this
capillary tube, the heat of the hand
causes the chloride to be expelled in
a fine jet, which quickly vaporizes
and freezes the substance on which
it is directed.

Something About Swords.

Major Pettibone, of Cincinnati, says
that, notwithstanding the profound
peace which this country enjoys, that
city alone turns out on an average TO-
900 regular army swords every year. All
swords made in Us country are dull ex-
cept at the point, harbarous nations only
making sharp edged swords. The idea of
refined and beautiful warfare is to kill
without mutilation, and a blow from a
sharp sword might make horrible
wound without causing death. The
finest swords turned out in Cincinnati
were a complete outfit for the late
King Kalakaua and his retinue.
Swords range in price from IS to $500.

BRENHAM'S LOSS.

A recent issue of the Fort Worth
Gazette has the following notice of
Mrs. England who for some time
was a soiourner in this city and
made many friends during their stay.
Travelling Auditor England of the
Santa Fe, has decided to made Fort
Worth his home, and with his wife
is now snugly settled as a full
fedged citizen of this city. Mrs.
England is very charming lady,
thorough musician, and will be a
great acquisition to Fort Worth's
society circles. She has taken the
position of soprano in st. Andrews
Episcopal church choir, and will
sing in solo for the first time next
Sunday. Her clear, bell.like voice,
exquistely modulated and evincing
careful training was heard for the
first time yesterday and gave promise
of the treat in store for the music
loving people of that congregation
in the future. Many friends extend
the right hand of fellowship to Mr..
and Mrs. England and trust they
may long continue residents of the
magic city"

EARLY ENGLISH DOCTORS.
They Had to Attend Three Dissections
at Which Body Was Opened.

They Had to Attend Three Dissections
at Which Body Was Opened.
The earliest record of a school of
physics at Cambridge university is in
1921, but the first definite provision for
anatomical teaching was made by John
Caius somewhat later in the same cent
ury. He was followed by ". Hardy in
the Sixteenth and by brilliant galaxy
of a.natomists in the Seventeenth cent
ury, of whom one instructed Newton
and another tried his hand at writing
plays.
From the time of Caius we were in
timately connected with the corpora
ton of surgeons in London, who sent
US scholar receiving f40 year for his
main enance and &3 a year to provide
himself with books. In order to qualify
as a practitioner in those days it was
necessary to have attended three disco
tons, at which body was opened and
the physicians present discoursed at
random concerning the interior.
The first separate professorship of an
atony was founded at Cambridge in
the year 1907, but the immediate effect
of the endowment appears to have
been a cessation of all interest in the
subject. 1t was the time of the Resur-
rectionists, however, and we read of
the watchmen being allowed to search
in Emmanuel for missing body. This
was Illegal, be it remarked, and really
an act Of coercion, as may be seen from
the following tale. a giant once died
in Dublin, thereby exciting the desires
of an anatomical professor and his stu
dents, to whom he said:
Gentlemen, understand that your
feelings are excited toward the seizure
of this body, against which must GER
tainly counsel you But in case your
zeal should overcome your discretion, 1
will tell you the exact case of the law,
which is that you may take the
body, but that for the removal of the
least rag or shred of covering there
on you may be hanged Therefore, if
you should remove the body, be careful
that it is utterly unclothed." Needless
to say that professor was given the OPP
portunity of experimenting upon that
giant.
A more melancholy anecdote is asso-
ciated with the memory of our Pro
fessor Collignon, who once invited two
friends to the dissection of a body, in
which one of them recognized the feat
ures of an acquaintance. 1t was the
body of Lawrence Sterne, whose final
return to his university formed tragic
ending to the sentimental journey of
his life.
Professor Haviland made the first
collection of anatomical specimens,
while the first museum was founded by
his successor, Professor Clark, who
raised it to be the first in the world.
We have entered upon a goodly her
itage, and in the stimulating presence of
of Sir George Paget and Sir George
Humphrey may we not learn to pene-
trate yet farther into those regions of
knowledge where the unknown still far
exceeds the Notwithstanding.

On the occasion of the. proprietors
visit to the State Firemen's Associa-
ton at Houston, the Texas World,
of which Uncle Daniel AcGary is
the editor, contained the following
"reminiscences of the early history of
the BANNER and the pleasant associa-
ton of the editor and proprietor
during its early struggle when the
county Jail was used for an editorial
room and the copy handed out
through the diamonds of the bars:
''Mr. John G. Rankin, chief of the
Brennan fire department, is attend
ing the State Firemen's association
and his presence is very suggestive
to the writer. Twenty-six years ago
Mr.. Rankin and the humble indivi-
dual who now edits The Texas
World-the best weekly, by the
way, in the Western Hemisphere
pooled their means, aggregating
$3.50 borrowed money, and started
the BRENNAN BANNER, Rankin bust
ness manager and McGary editor,
and they succeeded in making it soin-
teresting that it soon got its editor
in the Brennan jail with yankee
military guard at the door, where he
Indignantly rejected the bareback
picked pork offered him by his
iailors and received an ovation from
citizens and had every day feast
of luxuries he has never enjoyed
since. Mr.. Rankin subsequently
retired from the paper, but twenty
years ago became sole proprietor
and has held that relationship to it
ever since.
That the BANNER was started on
a capital of $3.50 borrowed money
is literally true, for its proprietors
were but recently from four years
service in the Confederate army,
and if they got money they had to
borrow it. When cotton was 80
cents pound in gold at the gin,
and the price of everything was
inflated, the sort of a newspaper
equipment that could be got for
$3.50 may be imagined; but nobody
but Captain Faulker can describe it,
It was paper of rather diminutiye
proportions at first, and its revenues
were proportionally small. But it
is larger now. Instead of being
issued only once week it makes
its bow to the public every morn
ing now, and its columns are alive
with well written editorials, fresh,
news, good locals and paying ad
vertisements. And, furthermore
the little $3.50 equipment, like good
seed in good ground has grown
and spread into an equipment, pat
ronage, good will and good name that
could not be bought for less then
$4,000 or $4,000. The friendship
begun between its original pro-
prietors more than a quarter of a
century ago has continued ever
since, and with the exception of Mr.,
Rankin himself no man is prouder
of the prosperity of the Brennan
BANNER than the editor of The Texas
World"
