Disrobed In the Street,

There is young colored damsel in
Washington whose soul is at present
filed with wrath because of the sum
mary action taken by society woman
to whom she had been handmaiden.
With ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain the young woman proved her
self conversant by making away with
articles of value. Among these was a
silk dress of which her mistress had been
especially fond. Though accused of the
theft, the woman stoutly denied it and
took her dismissal, vehementy protesting
her innocence. Not long afterward, as
the daughter of Ham was sailing down
the street in all the glory of the stolen
garment, she came upon her mistress
rapidly walking toward her with the
look of great purpose in her eye.
Retreat was impossible, as was q fail
ure to comply with the astonishing de.
mand that she then and there divest
herself of the gown. AS the alternative
was to be Immediately handed over to
the police, the perturbed young woman
did as she was bid with all speed posi-

projections exposed to public view while

tress walked away, bearing in triumph
the stolen property.-Kate Fields Wash

How Not 10 exterminate s-.e Indians.

HOW NOT 10 Exterminatc t..e Indians.
Let us not vigorously crowd the Indi-
ans to abandon tribal organization. If
this is done before they are ready for it,
they will surely lapse into degradation.
Let them remain in compact bodies on
reservations to help one another over the
change and do not compel them to COM
mingle and compete with the white race
in a struggle in which they must be hope
lessly doomed. Slowly by law and by
instruction teach them the value of our
property laws. Do not force citizenship
upon them, but let them sue for it. We
should hold ourselves ever ready to grant
it, but let them first discover its benefits.
If such a policy is maintained for two
generations more, the problem will be
solved-the remnant of the Indians will
be saved and absorbed in modern en-

One License Covers Many Bars.

LANSING, July 3.-An important de-
cision in n liquor case was handed down
by the Michigan supreme court Satur-
day. In the case of COPYRIGHT against
the common council of Newaygo the
court holds in brief that two or even a
greater number of bars may be con-
Quoted for the sale of liquor under
one license, provided they are in the
same building and operated by the
same person who occupies the entire
premises. In the case of a hotel the IL
cense Is held to cover every room de-
sired for the purpose. 1t is believed
that the decision will revolutionize the
retail liquor business in the state, as
heretofore upstairs and downstairs
bars in hotels and places Of like nature
have been required to be run under
separate licenses.

A CHASTITY FIND.
Fishermen Discover a Box of
Bones Near Traverse City.
1t Is Believed They Are the Remains of
the Ely Family, Who Mysteriously
Disappeared In IS7I-Were
They Murdered?
A MYSTERY.

MYSTERY,
TRAVERSE CITY, June 3O.-The north
woods are full of mysteries that will
never be explained. The finding of a
box of human bones in cedar swamp
near Traverse City by two fishermen
points to the solution of one of the
mysterious disappearances that have
become common of late years.
In 1871 farmer named Ely,
living on the shore of Long
lake, disappeared with his entire
family, between two days, leaving
everything untouched in his house. A
hired man came forward with n deed
of the house and farm that had never
been recorded and claimed everything
as his own, though he could not eX-
plain how he came to have it. Moth
ing was done at the time, and in
1876 Mr.. Ely's father came to
hunt him up, but could never find a
trace of his son or his family. Nothing
could be proved against the new owner.
but he did not seem TO enjoy life and
the old farm and house soon fell into
disrepute, and the house has stood silent
and deserted for years with empty
windows and echoing rooms. Some
time ago chest of womans
clothes was found in the thick
woods near the house. and iden-
titled as belonging to Mrs. Ely, but
no one has taken any steps to prove
anything of late years, and the box of
human bones is the first decisive thing
that has ever been unearthed. The
man who was supposed to know more
than any living person about the mys-
terry died a year or so ago, and it will
prObablv never be solved
