Collins yesterday with total OF 10 safe
hits. The homers are partly on account
of the fence at that ground. more home
runs having been made there by far than
on any other grounds in the league. The

sire for an education, the prince invited
him to spend term at Oxford. And so
it came about that the young Mohawk
was enrolled at the great English uni
versity and studied under DIR. Acland,
the princes physician, who was also pro-
fessor of medicine. Graduating as a
full fedged doctor of medicine, Oron-
hyatekha returned to Canada and began
to practice. He was uniformly success
full and made both reputation and money.
The evils wrought among his people
by their unfortunate love of drink led
DR.. Oronhyatekha to become strong
advocate of total abstinence. He has
been for years recognized as one Of the
ablest men in the Independent Order Of
Good Templars, and at the last meeting
of the supreme lodge of that body in
Edinburgh, Scotland, he was chosen to
the highest Office in the gift of the or
der, that of right worthy grand telnplar.
The doctor has shown unusual zeal as a
"joiner." Secret organizations seem to
have a strong attraction for him. He is
a prominent Orangeman and Freemason.
He is himself the founder of a benefit
society, the Independent Order of For
esters, of which he is the chief officer at
a salary Of $4,000 a year.
DR.. Oronhyatekha is proud of his In
dian blood. Though his business is in
Toronto, his home is on the reserve in
Thyendenaga, near the western extremi-
ty Of Lake Ontario.
A portion of the Mohawk Nation set
tied there on their arrival in Canada in
stead of going west to the Grand river.
Oronhyatekha has beautiful home in
the midst of his own people. He mar
ried q woman of his tribe, grand
daughter of the great chief Thyendena-
ga. They have a daughter and son,
the latter a student of medicine. In
their home the Mohawk language is
used, and Oronhyatekha, though an edu-
Gated man of the world, honored among
the white people, still shows in his con-
versation enough traces of a foreign &C
cent to let all who meet him know that
English is not the language which comes
readiest to his tongue

How the Editor of The Christian Union
Does His Literary Work.
Especial Correspondence.l

Does his Literary w Orhs
Especial Correspondence.l
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.--The extreme
sensitiveness of the religious atmosphere
of this country is shown by the furore
created by the omission of small word
in the address of the Rev. DR.. Lyman
Abbott in Boston the other day. Those
familiar with his views received with
much incredulity the report that he had
declared unbelief in the divinity of Jesus
Christ. Knowing how closely he con-
forms to the orthodox view of the
Saviour, they felt that he must have
been the victim of some error. The
speedy publication of q corrected report
of his address with an omitted ''not'' in
serted was, as our readers doubtless re-
member, confirmation of their suspi-
cion.
In consequence of this unhappy ex-
perience, which is simply a repetition of
what has befallen DIR. Abbott ON several
other occasions, he is obliged to exercise
the utmost care in granting interviews
with members Of the press. He insists, as
preliminary condition, that whatever is
put into his mouth shall be submitted to
him for revision and correction. Not
long ago l had occasion to obtain his
views on certain Biblical questions. He
granted the interview with the greatest
readiness and courtesy, thus creating a
marked contrast with the brusque and
insolent manner with which some men
receive correspondents. But he asked
me to show him the manuscript or proof
of what he had said. It was with great
pleasure that complied with the re-
quest, which was the smallest possible
return that could make to his kindness.
He is an extremely busy man. and the
time that he thus gave was serious in
fraction upon his regular duties.
AS the editor of The Christian Union
and the pastor Of Plymouth church in
Brooklyn he has much to do. 1t is a
wonder that he can do it. He is not by
any means the large, strong, robust
man physically that his predecessor,
Mr.. Beecher, was. He is tall and quite
slender, and he looks as though his
health was rather fragile. Yet it is,

STILL LOYAL TO His TRIBE.

An Educated Mohawk Indian Who Has
Attained Wide Celebrity.
Of all the self made men of America
few have won their way to success
against greater difficulties than has Or
onhyatekha, of Canada Oronhyatekha
is full blooded Mohawk Indian, born to
tho rank of a chief among the band upon
the reserve near Brantford, Ont His
people We're among those who upheld the
cause of Britain during the Revolution
FRY war and who, under their great chief,
Thyendenaga, retreated from their set
Element in the valley of the river which
bore their name and settled in Canada.
Oronhyatekha had no advantages over
other Indians, except in an Unsuitable
thirst for learning and never failing
power Of hard work. He got his early
education in the training school for the
children of the reserve, which education
included an apprenticeship to the trade
OF shoemaking. His parents expected
him to work at this trade, but he ran
away from home and became pupil in
the Wesleyan academy at Wilbraham,
Mass. He subsequently studied at Ken
yon college, in Gambler, o., and at the
Toronto university.
When the Prince of Wales made the
tour of the Canadian provinces in 1850
he visited the Grand River reserve.
Oronhyatekha was selected by the coun-
Gil of chiefs to present the address to the
son of the "Great Mother" as the Mo-
hawks have always called the queen.
The prince was so struck with the bear
ing of the young man that he made in
quiries to learn how he could befriend
him. Being told of Oronhyatekha's de-
The Portland daily press., 1892-01-04

am told, very good, as it enables him to
get through vast amount of work dur
ing the year. He does not, however,
spend much time in the Offices of The
Christian Union, although they are un-
usually attractive, and would go far to-
ward reconciling one with the hard lot
of journalism. He gives, believe, only
two days week-Monday and Friday
Ito Office work, the chief burden of
the management of The Christian Union
devolving upon AIr. Hamilton w. Mabie,
his able and accomplished assistant.
The editorial rooms in Astor place are
perhaps the finestin the city, with the
exception Of those of The Century and
possibly those of The North American
Review. They are in the first place ad-
mirably lighted, feature that is too
often ignored + in the construction of
Offices. The public reception room is
handsomely furnished, comfortable
chairs standing here and there and beau
tiful pictures adorning the tinted walls.
just off this room is the Office Of DR..
Abbott. If it is not large there is plenty
of room in it for literary work. Instead
of a table DR.. Abbott has handsome
oak roller-top desk. Here, seated in a
most comfortable library chair, he may
be found on the days he is in the Office
writing an energetic paragraph or ar
ticle for The Christian Union or receiving
some contributor with manuscript, or
discussing with some writer question
of social reform or phase Of religious
thought.
The most of DIR. Abbott's work is done
in his large and handsome library in his
Willow street residence in Brooklyn.
He chooses this place, suppose, so as
to be free from the constant interruption
to which he would be subjected in his
Office at The Christian Union. He sets
apart for himself certain hours that are
not to be invaded except under extraor-
binary circumstances. 1t is in no other
way that he can get the time that he
must have to prepare his sermons and
to reflect upon the policy that he must
pursue in regard to the great church in
trusted to his care. Far different as he
is from Mr.. Beecher, there has been no
falling off in the regular membership
and the parish work of Plymouth church.
Indeed in some respects the work of the
church is larger and of different char
acter from what it used to be. DR.. Abbott
is greatly interested in charitable and
social reform work, which has taken q
much wider range than was thought to
be possible or proper in the days of Mr..
Beecher. FRANKLIN SMITH.

Mr.. Springer proposes to adopt the
free raw material racket, and, instead of
bringing in general tariff bill, to put
through the Honse several bills remov-
ing the duty from articles of general
consumption like wool. Undoubtedly
this will be a much easier performance
than to unite the Democrats on gener-
al tariff measure, and it will have less
tendency to betray the wide difference of
opinion in regard to the tariff which still
exists in the Democraticparty.

The crime eff which DR.. Graves has
been convicted was peculiarly deliber-
ate and cold blooded one. The sole mo-
tiee of it was money. Graves in some
way had gained complete mastery over
Mrs. Barnaby and had induced her to make
will in which she left him large sum
of money. But while Mrs. Barnaby lived
the will protited him nothing and so he
concocted a cold blooded scheme to put
her out of the way by dosing her with
whiskey poisoned with arsenic. His
scheme succeeded, but his nerve deserted
him and large part of the evidence on
which he was convicted was really fur
nished by himself. That it was very
strong is clearly indicated by the prompt
ness with which the jury returned their
verdict, the tendency of juries in such
cases being invariably to give the
prisoner the advantage of any doubt and
to find verdict of gnilty only when the
evidence is overwhelmingly against him.
There is very room for doubling that the
verdict is right. Of course his counsel
will not rest their efforts in his behalf
with tho verdict of the jury. Every sort
Of technicality which ingenuity can sug-
gcst will be resorted to to save his neck
and it is possible that they may succeed.

The registration imbroglio in Water
ville, like the Dutchman's wife, seems to
get no better pretty fast Mayor Jones
still continues TO refuse to appoint Re-
publican mcmber of the board, and the
chairman of the board still refuses to
call the board together. If this dead
lock continues until the day of the mu-
nicipal election there will be no legal
voting lists and consequently there can
be no legal election. Then serious
question will arise rs to the status of the
present city government; whether it can
hold over or not, out of which will come
much bad blood, which may seriously re-
tard the progress of the city and throw
everything into confusion and anarchy.
Whether the Mayor can justify himself
by the strict letter of the law in refusing
to appoint another Republican member
of board we do not know. Possibly he
can, though we are inclined to think the
weight OF argument is against him on
that point. But clearly he has not COM
piled with the spirit of the law until he has
appointed Republican who will serve.
For any Dad results from his refusal
to appoint he will be clearly RESPONSE
bic, and it may be that the responsibility
will be so serious as to make him some
time in the future very tired.

That Is All Which Is Required at This Time

We hear a great deal, just now, about
Spring medicines. 1t is known that people
feel run down after the labors and siege Of
winter, and it is assumed they need Spring
medicine. This is not true. Spring medi-
cines are not needed; nature will throw of
the rheums in the blood which have accu-

erful, and which has been proved to abund-

whiskey, if of the right kind, is the proper
thing to use, but unfortunately, there are
few good whiskies in the market and only
one which is absolutely pure, and possesses
medicinal qualities. That whiskey is Duff
