has Just been pouring out tale of woe
TO me about going out in the country
with a new safety, how the Long Island
baggage master made her take 1t across
the ferry herself, pay express rates on
it as baggage, and assume all risks.
WHY doesn't some one invent patent,
portable crate for safeticS? Something
to open and shut, possibly to fold up;
how when she left the train the roads
were heavy and she couldn't mount;
how she led the wheel away III
the blazing sun and heard some
bows with wheels of their own
on the station platform making irreVer
ent remarks. such as ''2:05 record" and
1.-THE wind blew through her spokeS."
How she finally got out Of their sight,
and had almost succeeded III throwing
herself into the saddle when four
seated wagon came rumbllng out or
croSs-road with lot of laZy-looklng
people letting poor, old horse JOY them
alone; how there were no men at the
house where she stayed; how the wom-
Ell all tried to help her mount; how one
held the hind wheel. and one blocked
the front. and third grabbed the han
dies: how they all let go and asked
why she didn't ride. low a man
did arrive the very last day of
her stay; how she got him
to help her mount. and run few miles
after her, in case she had to get off.
How she was sorry he got out of breath,
and told him so, and that he need not
do it again, as she had firmly resolved
to go back to town and acquire, with
belt and strap, the art of mounting:
How he said he was glad to know it, and
that it he had wife he'd want her to
ride a safety, by all means, but that
some other fellow would have to teach
her how.
But where is the woman who has sur
mounted all these primary difficulties
who will not declare that to be able to
ride is worth five times the trouble of
learning? The craze will extend West
and South, down into the Spanish
American countries, and the senorltas
will have to leave off their silk shawls,
and become little less dreamy before
long.

Five Hundred of the Natives Taken to Mexico
and Placed in Slavery.

Special 70 the Indianapolis Journal.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 2-PrIvate letters
received here by the Panama steamer give
particulars of the safe arrival at San
Bonita, Mexico. of the tramp steamer
Montserrat. with five hundred "black-
birds" from the Gilbert islands who
are under three years contracts to
work on coffee plantations in Mex
leo. The letter says the natives
endured the long voyage well and that
twice many could have been carried
without danger of overcrowding Cap
tain Blackburn and several San Francis
coans chartered the Montserrat and started
her under the Nicaraguan flag to the Gill
bert islands They had contract with
San Bonita coffee plantations to get as
many islanders as possible at s.
monthly, the contract to run three
years aud the natives to be re-
turned free to their homes. The
Mexican coffee plantations have proved
lucrative but the labor supply is scanty.
Two years ago the first cargo of three
hundred islanders was sent from the Gill
Dert islands to Mexico. They did well and
the word which they sent homo led to four
hundred others embarking on the brig
Tahiti, which was cRpsiZed Oft MaZatlan
last year and cyery soul on board lost
This put a damper on the traffic
and though the Montserrat expected to get
one thousand natives, she secured only five
hundred. On this cargo the company will
clear $4,000. The traffic IN these contract
laborers has many of the worst features of
slavery. and Captain Davis. who recently
placed the Gilbert islands under British
protectorate, has expressed his intention of
stopping 1t if possible.

they will give HIM no cause to doubt their
fidelity or devotion to him."
The meeting of the Indiana Republican

was great enthusiasm shown. and a quiet

assessments were supposed TO be issued at
the rate of one per month, though there
was no law to limit them to that. Pente
was looked upon as one of the safest of
this class of orders. No payments of ma
tured certificates will be due until next
September. 1t has made fifty-one assess
