ANOTHER TIME FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME,
WHILE WE ARE IN THE PICTURE BUsI-; !.
We will continue making our fine
Cabinet Photographs as low as S1.5O

a high Polish finish superior in quail

all those wishing the Aristo picture
will still make them at the same

The extensive patronage and the
many testimonials of the appreeia-

age to go on with these low prices,
and we propose making Mifllintown
headquarters for the finest Photo

the very latest designs giving our
trade the benefit of that which would
cost $50 i'll the city, for $3.50 in
Mifllintown. We can make pictures
for S1.00 per dozen such as are made
by all travelling photographer, but
we prefer giving our patrons q much
better picture for very little more

their liberal patronage we solicit a
continuance OF The same.

EDUCATIN6 INDIANS.
Advantages Of the Training school for
Children Pointed Out.

ID. NJ. Browning, commissioner OF Indian
affairs takes an optimistic view OF the ed
ucational question as il concerns the wards
of the nation. Today he told a reporter for
The Star that the government training. day
and boarding schools. and the contract.
public and mission schools were fiourishing.
He thinks, though, that the best results are
flowing from the training schools OF
these there are twenty, scattered through
about fifteen states and territories. They
have an enrolment OF over 1900 Indian chill
dren. These schools are somewhat expen-
sive, because OF the necessary appliances for
giving the children adequate instruction in
the several trades. They are so widely
scattered to be readily accessible to near
ly all tribes. and it is not thought that IL
will be necessary to establish new schools
OF this kind 1t is only a question OF a little
time when the capacity OF these schools will
have TO be increased. Commissioner Brown
ing thinks that the purpose for which they
were instituted should be more strictly ad-
hered to than formerly. He believes that
their attendance should be limited to pupils
who have passed through the reservation
schools. They should be treated as ad-
vanced schools. The correctness OF this
position was recognized by the authorities
at Carlisle, when the order was given out:
THAT no more Indian children shall enter
and be educated at this school who have
not attended some other school for a period
of at least three years" 1t is quite proba-
BILE, thinks the commissioner. that transfers
have been made from reservation to nom
reservation schools without due care. This
is a promotion which should be based
merit This system will elevate the class
of pupils at training schools and have a
favorable reflex influence on the reservation
schools. 1t requires thorough and SYSTEM
attic training to render the pupil morally
strong enough to resist tribal custom when
he returns TO his native heath. Then the
rule which prevents the taking away OF
children from the reservation 20 the nom
reservation school, with the full consent OF
the parents has also operated benehcially TO
the service. This order. however, does not
prevent the Withholding of rations. clothing
and other annuities from Indian parents or
guardians who refuse to keep their children
of proper school age in some school rea-
sonable part of each year. The department
has not had to apply this rule Commission
er Browning believes that the Indian child
should first be taught to read, write and
speak English and 10 work and live in a
civilized way. The outside employment sys-
TEN, inaugurated at Carlisle and followed by
Phoenix and other training schools, has also
helped along the cause.

NAVAL COMMANDER At HONOLULU.
Admiral Twins Brother Was LflfuO-
kalani's Minister to Japan.


From the New York SUM-
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Admiral John
Irwin is a brother of Robert Irwin,
Hawaiian minister and immigration COM
missioner in Japan. appointed by Liliuo-
kalani originally. and continued by the
provisional government in the same place.
He Is also a brother of the late Richard
Irwin of Addition, Division and Silence
fame.
Robert Irwin, the admirars brother, has
made fortune and is in the receipt of a
princely income yet from sending japanese
coolies to the islands.
This may account for the belief that "Ad-
miral Irwin will be more in harmony with
Mr.. Willis, the new minister to Hawaii
than his predecessor, in carrying out the
policy of the administration in regard to
those islands,"
Admiral Irwin is believed to be an officer
of excellent character and standing, but
there is nothing in his family history 10
indicate that he is likely to voluntarily
Go anything which will interfere with the
lucrative business of his brother, the
minister.
1; is sufficient to add that the annexa-
ton OF the Hawaiian Islands to the United
States would knock the business of import
ing coolies or contract laborers into the
islands after they became dependencies of
the United States, higher than the Beecher-
Triton scandal knocked the Life of
Christ"
1t is very probable that Mr.. Claus Spreck-
els. who is a large employer of coolie labor
knows both Commissioner Irwin and the
admiral, and for their common interest has
not been a. 'deadhead" in the enterprise
In which they are now engaged. under the
patronage and protection of the admins
tration.
The foregoing facts taken in connec-
ton with the announcement. made several
months ago. that Mr.. Paramount Blount had
oeen sent TO the Hawaiian Islands with in
structlons TO sit on annexation" suffi-
GENTLY accounts for the secrecy with which
the administration has surrounded all its
actions in connection with this important
matter.

FIRST LADIES' DAY
OF the c. A. c. Was a Success. in Every
Way.

VI the u n. Y. was q success In Every
Way.
The first ladies' day of the season at the
Columbia Athletic Club yesterday afternoon
was a most striking success. The club
house was handsomely decorated and filled
with fair guests, who found the cozy cor
ners and comfortable divans delightful
places to while away an afternoon. Fer
their amusement an athletic exhibition was
given in the big gymnasium, and afterward
a bowling match was played by teams from
the bachelor members of the club and the
married men.
The first number on the athletic program
by feats on the horizontal bar by Sewell,
little Master Frank Walters did his aero
battle performance with Prof. Crossley. j.

high kicking. After work on the spring
board and German horse by Sewell Howard

Ball and Prof. Crossley, Messrs. S. E. OAR
by and E. NJ. Harmon gave an Interesting
exhibition with broadswords.
Royce Hough gave an exhibition in high
jumping and cleared the bar at feet 6.
The last act was on the double trapeze
by Eddie Sewell and Nudge Ross.
The game of tenpins was won by the

his own merits is defeated.
The English interests have shown no ap-
preciable increase since the set back that
the annexation cause received last spring
owing to the non-action of the Senate here.
As matter of fact, II is now said, without
contradiction, the present English colony
in Hawaii Is widely divided on the subject
There are some who take an extreme view
on patriotic grounds and oppose annexa-
ton. But there are others who recognize
the value of a closer business relation be-
tween the two countries and are radically
in favor Of a political union with the United
States.
