INDIAN NOTES.

The squaw men at the court house
wigwam should have given the regis.
trar's office to one of their own tribe
not to the city's tribe.
The big-iDjun-heap chiefs around
the court house think that no one
could fill the offices except them
selves. They will see their mistake
in November.
One of the squaw men look
ed ut the new clock in the
city hall and after looking at it
for q long time said: They're playing
keno heavy over there. There's
forty cards pegged already" Tie
man was excusable, however, because
the dial OF the clock isn't much
larger than keno register.
The White Chief and Natchez each
purchased a valuable clock last night
-one of them runs too fast and the
other wont run at all.
Spotted Tail is so busy with the
news Of the big war dance at Hous-
ton that his tribe don't see much of
him now.

Chinese Never save Life.

Much has been written of the pecu-
liarities and eccentricities of the
Chinese, but it is not generally known
that people of the Celestial Empire
will not rescue one another from &C
ciden tai death.
Alta fire in San Francisco several
years ago, sin Chinese were impris-
oned in q room by three half-inch
broken away. There were two or
three ladders in the neighborhood
which could have been placed at the
windows, and the unfOrtunates easily
rescued from horrible death. There
were hundreds of their countrymen
looking on at their frantic efforts to
escape. Yet they offered no assistance
and gave no evidence OF sorrow.
A man VINO has saved many lives,
in speaking with Chinese, once
said they were very heartless, and
cited this San Francisco fire as an
example, whereupon the Celestial
exclaimed:
II tell you. You sabbee joss? Col
Almighty, alice samee. Chinaman

1t costs comparatively little to adorn a

solid silver as you resemble yourself.
Those who have not recently made pur-

that plated ware is costly enough to be
out of the ordinary reach. Nothing of
the kind. On the contrary, the reverse
is the case. You'll discover how true
this is, if you will let US quote prices for
you when you come to see our display of

stagnation in shinbniIdinr.

The stagnation in the shipbuilding
trade on the Clyde is apparently most
serious. The North British Daily Mail
estimates that there are at present be-
tween Glasgow and Greenock over 49,
600 men out of work, every one of them
willing to accept any occupation that
might offer, although skilled workmen
at their trades. This statement, how
ever, only partly shows the depression.
Out of 14S building berths on the Clyde
only forty-nine are now in use. The in
dustry employs in good times from So
600 to $4,000 men, and it follows that
there are 80, 900 or 1000 men not work
ing on the Clyde who would be en-
ployed there if all the yards were in full
operation. About one-third of this num-
Der, it is thought, have migrated to other
shipbuilding4 centers in Great Britain,
but The Mail thinks II. 200 is less than
the number of men actually idle on the
Clyde at the present time.
