INDIAN EDUCATION.
Assistant Commissioner Armstrong
Gives Ont Some Ideas.

NtteS ouL SOEAe kNeaS.
WASHINGTON. May 16 General
Frank Armstrong, assistant commits
sioner Of Indian affairs, was an Indian
interprettr for many years, and in that
copacity learned by practiccl experience
much of the Indian character, and the
methods employed in his civilization.
He has strong views on the subject, and
they are not in accord with his preds-
cessors in Office. He believes, first of
all, in making the Indians self support
ing, and able to make living for
themselves. independent of the white
men and the government. He talked
entertainingly and with frankness on
this subject. In answer to questions he
said:
The Only Way
to educate an Indian is to teach him to
| make an honest living-to earn his own
| support. There is not now enough at
tention paid to the industrial part of
| his education. Some people. earnest
| and sincere. but without practical
ideas, think that all you have to do is
| to put pair of shoes on an Indian
| feet in place of moccasins, teach him to
| say by rete which is the longest river in
the world and to sing hymn, and you
have him civilized. An Indian, like a
| white man. wants to know where he
comes in; what he is going to get ont of
| Ii. Let him see that by working he
can get money and buy things as the
| white man does. and he will soon

/ Educate Them at Home.
In regard to sending children away
from home to school General Arm.
strong said:
| Educating the Indian in industrial
pursuits on the reservation is a good
thing for the old Indians as well as the
young Indians. 1t shows the old ones
that it Is good thing aud helps to lift
them up. You take an Indian child
from the reservation and send him
away for several years, and when he
comes back he thinks he is better than
the other Indians. He is quite differ.
ent from what he was when he went
away and he knows it. and sc
do the others. The result is that he il
unhappy, and he either lives apar'
from the others and does nothing tx
help them along, or else he sinks bacl
into his old life, and is worse thar
before. IL he were on the reservation
and were taught how to do somethin.
that would make him better off, no
only he, but the older Indians would
see it. When they saw him accom-
plish something that was good the,
would say, We want to see that Ii
this way both would be better eff, ant
after he was through with his educa
tion the Indian would take care of him
| self and this great problem would b.
settled. As said, the Indian wants t,
know where he comes in. He wants t.
get some bodily good out of 1T, just a
the white man does"

PIGEONS
GET HALF NAPOLEON OUT OF
BED VERY EARLY.
Nearly One Hundred Birds In Race
Across the Continent.

At five o'clock. Saturday, Express Agent
Sam Powell, ''pulled the lever" on two large
baskets and nearly one hundred carrier pig
cons arse in the air and started of toward
the east in race for their homes in New
York and vicinity.
As soon as the coverings were removed the
birds in a body started eastward flying Just
above the house tops. When about twenty
rods distant, five detached themselves from
the main body and few south to the court
house-to see what time it was before start
ing, no doubt-when they wheeled about and
joined the others. They all travelled in zig
gag course, seemingly dodging buildings.
notwithstanding they had attained an alti-
tude of nearly one hundred feet. In less
than minute they were all out Of sight.
The pigeons are property of the Empire
City Flying Club of New York and are val
ued at from $1,000 to $1,000, several Of them
being held at $500, apiece. They belong to
some 20 different lofts.
As means Of sport they are rapidly
climbing to the front. One thing is certain:
There can be no buying of jockeys nor
any other crookeduess. As each bird ar
rives at its ioftits time is recorded, and as a
means of Identification each one wears
small bands of tin or brass around the leg
bearing number in the loft and number Of
loft. ltis, then, impossible for them to get
lost or for any confusion whatever to take
place.
The next point to which the birds will be
taken is Chicago.

| Two days prior not few Of these gentle

fully thirty were in attendance. They were
all, strictly speaking, representative men of
the higher walksof business, and let it be
said that never before did more gentle

or any other place for business.
A number of them had bid on other works
engineered by Mr.. Strohm, in fact Mr.: s
has never had small letting. Before
opening the bids he made few remarks re-
garding the fairness that had attended the
letting of previous contracts of which he
was the experimenting engineer. What he
said was evidently true, juggling from the
hearty and prolonged applause from every
contractor present.
The greater part of the day was consumed
in opening the bids, which was a big task,
there being some fifty in all and each one
quite lengthy.
