Foster Gets Home With a Black Eye
and Brings Silver News.

New York. The North German
Lloyd steamer Spree, with Secretary Eos
ter on board arrived at port. The Sec
retary had rather rough voyage. On
the l2th the sea was very rough. Mr.
Foster was seated in steamer chair on
the upper deck when the steamer lurch-
cd heavily, throwing him to the deck,
his head striking the port rail and black
cning his eye. His health has been
much improved by the trip. Secretary
Foster touched upon the silver question
which he said greatly int rested the En-.

west, who for many years dealt in Iurs
with the Calispel, Spokane, Ceur DIAL

Northwest, says that the Indians are
dying off rapidly. "Take the Ceur

have magnificent reservation aal tinc

black bear, beaver, and other kinds Of
skins without number. Then the whites
had not encroached on them, and they
were robust and healthy. 1t is mis-

must be wild or they are nothing. If
we keep on civilizing them, we shall
have no Indians. Apparently this Is

. Chicago Is not - :..yo Il monopoly OF
the celebration of Columbus's great dis
covery, announces the New York Ledger.
Every city in the Union will do some
thing to signalize the quatrocentenary
of this memorable event. New York
City has hit upon a unique way of cele-
brating it. A great food exhibition is
to be held at the Madison Square Garden
in October. The object Of the exposition
is to improve the quality and to elevate
and maintain a high standard Of purity
and wholesomeness of our food supply,
Ali the States and Territories of the
Union will be invited to participate, and
it is proposed to show the progress made
in feeding the world in the past four
hundred years. This is the first exhibi-
tion of the kind which has ever been
held. Not even England, the birth
place and home of exhibitions of all
kinds, has ever hit upon one Of this de-
scription. Probably the reason is that
England is manufacturing country, and
not, like the United States, great food
producing country. This country is, in
fact, the granary Of the world, and af-
fords material for one of the most inter-
esting exhibitions of modern times.
Only food products will be allowed on
exhibition, producers and manufacturers
only being allowed 20 exhibit. The ex-
clusion of middlemen, it is thought, will
furnish guaranty of the bona tide char
acter of every article, and that it is the
same as is offered to tho public. Every
article exhibited must bear the name
and address of pro lucers or manufacture
ers, under whose exclusive direction tn
exhibition will be held
