Roenigk, another commissioner, and his
wife started for Chicago Bishop Phelan
was also one of the passengers, and he will
take part in the exercises. To-day several
special trains from this State, Boston, New
York and Washington will pass through
Pittsburg. Governor Pattison and his staff,
the brigadier generals and their staffs, and
Major General Snowden will occupy one of
the specials
The trend of travel just now is toward
Chicago. Great crowds are going to the
Windy City to attend the dedication of the
Worlds Fair buildings. New Workers may
poke good deal of fun at the pork packers
in the Western metropolis, but they are
certainly taking lots of interest in the Ma
tional Exposition at present All the trains
from the East are crowded.
Last evening an extra train carrying the
United States Marine Band, of Washing
ton, rolled into the Union depot under the
command of Major Huntington. They
were bound for Chicago to participate in
the parade.
The Marines Were Hungry.
The boys alghted from the train with
alacrity and lined up on the platform in
squads to march to the dining room. There
were ZIG people in the party, $50 in the
battalion, 16 officers and the balance were
in the band. When they got into the din
ing room it was jammed Mr.. Lee, the
restaurant keeper, had made ar
was plenty to eat for all. In the marine
geant in the Eighteenth Regiment A
number of his friends were at the depot to
receive him, and Major Huntington gave
him permission to leave the battalion and
meet the boys
On second special train were 305 In
dians from the Carlisle school. They
were in charge of Captain Pratt. Just
AZ tribes were represented. Some of them
were bright looking fellows while others
appeared to be stolid and stupid. Captain
Pratt was asleep, but one of his teachers
furnished information about them.
'Our boys" said he, care well drilled
and you never heard of an Indian that
didn't know how to handle rifle, but in
the parade we will try to show the people
that the redskins are capable of doing
something that is useful
A Novel Feature for the Parade.
'Instead of carrying guns, the boys will
bear the mechanical tools they are taught
to use, and will exhibit some Of the articles
they have made. We think this will
be q novel feature. On our ban
ner is written, From bafbarism to
civilization Some of the redskins
are capable of considerable training NY
experience has been that they can reach q
certain standard, and beyond that they can't
be forced. We do the best we can with
them, but it remains for future generations
to show the high degrees of culture au In
dian can reach. Educating the reds is q
slow process, and it will require years of
hard work. The Sioux tribes pre-
dominate in the school. think the
Cheyennes are the smartest and display the
greatest aptitude for learning"
