THE CAROLINE ISLANDS.
They Have Been Christianizcd and Civil
lied NInInlN by American NIissionnrie..

They Have Been Christianized and Civil
lied Mainly by American Missionaries.
1t is II fact that the American mis-
sionarics in the Caroline islands are dis
eliminated against by the Spanish
authorities. In 1859 the American
Board Of Foreign Missions sent ont
several missionaries TO Lhristianizc the
islands of this section OF the Pacific
ocean. at that time unclaimed hy any
foreign state and but little known eN-
cept to hardy New England whaling
sailors. who have found in them
source of supplies for their ships dur
ing their long cruises in hunting whales
from Cape Horn to the Arctic ocean.
These missionaries, after many strug
giles against the hcathcnism of the
natives of the islands. at last gained
foothold and then steadily advanced,
until now the entire islands hcrcabOut
may be truly said TO be as thoroughly
Christianized mot civilized as any OF
the countries inhabited by the white
race, writes a New York Times corre-
spondcnt. The work of these mission
aries has been almost wonderful. They
have built churches and schools. have
reduced the native dialect to writing
and instructed lnc cnliufcn IN DOCKS
printed in the native tongue; induced
the natives to live in villages and re-
spcct one anothcr's rights and prop
crty; have raised the standard of
morality and established the binding
marriage ceremony, and have educated
the natives so that the rudimentary
branches are well known by the mass
Of the people, and the English language
has become almost as much used as the
native tongues.
In return for all this the love of the
natives for their missionary friends is
very great. They allow themselves to
be governed and directed by the mis-
sionarics without comment, looking up
to them as being always right and
acknowledging the authority Of mis-
siouaricS above all others.

TO OUR REaDERs.

This week the two Meeker papers are
merged into one. HENRY j. HAY has
editorial charge, and HENRY a. WILD
HACK is business manager of the con
soldation. The name of TIE MEEKER
HERALD will be continued, while the
politics of the Rio Blanco News
straight Repubican-will brighten its
pages. All parties, however, will be
treated with the same spirit of fairness
which marked the course of the former
owner and editor of THE HERALD.
The subscription price has been
placed at $50 per year. The paper
will be sent to subscribers on either
Of the lists, and those not desiring a con-
tinuance will please notify US as soon as
convenient. Patrons who have paid
for both papers will have their time
extended on the subscription list.
Hoping, through the increased influ-
ence obtained by consolidation, to do
more to advance the interests of the
White river country than we have been
able to do in the past, we ask and ex-
pect the support of every man in Rio
BIanco county.

PopuIisis' Convention.

John Watson, who, by the way, is an

following language: 'Gentlemen," said
he as he raped, Il call the meeting to

ter Tor chairman, AL II but here
someone in the ranks seconded the nom
inatIon saving Mr.. Watson that trouble,
whereupon Mr.. Watson put his own
motion and declared it carried.
The chairman made a speech saying
he once looked to the Republican party
to give us better government, and
then lie looked TO the Democratic party,
and now he looked TO the Omaha party
to save the nation.
John Watson then nominated y. II.
Adams for secretary and carried the

BOTH SEXES DRESS ALIKE.
Little in Attire to Distinguish AMMAN Men
from Women NIlrrnrs in the I.nt.

Little in Attire to Distinguish AMMAN Men
from Womcn-Mirrors in the Hat.
At AMMAN, an empire occupying the
eastern portion of the lndo-Chinesc pen
insula, with population of 10000 900,
men and women wear their hair in the
same way and dress almost alike, says
the st. Louis Globe Democrat. Like
the man, the woman wears the turban,
a long tunic, wide, loose trousers and u
bright sash, the ends falling below the
knees. The physiognomy is almost the
same, as the men are beardless and have
their hair done up like the women.
The only clew to distinguish them is
the earrings and finger rings worn by
women only. The earrings are like
double shirt studs, and among the lower
orders are of colored glass.
The wives and daughters OF mandarins
alone are allowed TO wear gold jewelry.
The rings are of spiral wire, fitting
tight and standing out to some height.
Some women of the upper class wear
also necklaces OF strings of gold or sill
yer beads.
The hat of the woman is monumental.
1t is like n large barrel cover, three
quarters of yard in diameter. Six or
seven silk cords as thick as quill are
fastened on each side, and when worn
fall down below the waist.
Where the ends are fastened to the
hat on each side is huge black or
brown silk tassel. Some of these hats
are artistically made OF carefully Sc
lected palm leaves and lined with neatly
plated flag leaves. These are expen-
sive, especially when they have chiscled
silver clasps at the tassels.
Many women fasten little round
mirror in the hat, before which they
arrange their turban when they go to
town. The hat is the article most priced
by the stylish ladies, and often costs
ten and fifteen dollars.

our larder was getting until 10 was drained,
and we were getting too far away from the
base Of supplies 20 replenish it. The game
had all been driven out Of the country
ahead Of us by the fleeing Indians, and
when we finally caught up with the red
skins and forced them 20 fight, we had al
most nothing 70 eat for several days We
captured about zoo ponies from the In

and dressed we had feast that would

We lived on this pony meat several days

over spit, like a barbecued beef. The
meat had peculiar sweet taste, not az all
