LONDON, Oct. l4.-In q side street Of
the city of Birmingham Monday morn
ing was found the body of man who
had evidently been murdered. His
skull was fractured and there were
other marks on the body to bear out
the theory of foul play. From papers
found in the mans clothing it was
learned that his name was Thomas
Crapp, and the first supposition was
that he was an American from Chi
cago. This has since been proved TO
be incorrect, and it is now known that
he was not an American. The man
had evidently been murdered for the
purpose of robbery.

San Francisco Bulletin: Great Brit
ain is neither buyer or seller OF ma
tional real estate. She grabs every
thing within reach and holds it as long
as she can. 1t is not likely that she
would listen to any proposition for the
sale of British Columbia to the United
States. 1t would be against her prin-
ciples. She would also, probably con-
slider it against her interest, although
she might be wrong about that. 1t
would, no doubt, be money in her
pocket to sell what we are likely to get
some time or other without price.
No doubt, sooner or later British Col
umb will become state OF the Amer
lean Union. She is more affiliated with
us than with the Dominion by geo.
graphical, social and business condi.
tions. She has a substantial identity
of interests with our Pacific coast. An
nexation would be good thing for US
all. 1t would unite our long coast line
and close the gate Of the Straits OF Fuca
against Chinese immigration at $50 a
head. Probably very considerable
senti nent in favor OF annexation would
be found on canvassing the province.
But the function OF making the fret
move to that end rests with the people
OF British Columbia. They are neither
cattle nor coolies to be bought and sold
by two great powers. Great Britain
would not cast off her subjects without
their consent, and we would not receive
them except as willing citizens Of the
republic. Some day they will make up
their minds that they would be better
off with US AMI will demand the right
to consult their own wishes and inter.
ests, which Great Britain will hardly
refuse. Then they will be welcome to

But the most peculiar thing about

But the most peculiar thing about
these women is the fashion in which
they wear their hair. 1t is arranged
ON both sides of the head, like the
horns of mountain sheep, in two
enormous whorls. This is accomplished
by winding the hair around some plia-
BILE switches Of willow and has most
curious effect. Considerable care is
taken in the preparation Of this part
of the toilet, and it is in strange con-
tradistinction to the customs OF the
Apaches, Utes and Navajo Indians,
whose hair hangs in unkempt, loose
masses.
After marriage the Wolpai maidens
cease to wear their hair in whorls 1t
is then parted in the middle and tied
in a kind of queue, after the same
style as the men. The girls of this
tribe choose their own husbands. In
the household where everything is
clean as new pin, the wife reigns SUI
preme, and daughters inherit the
mothers property.
The pottery, ornamental basket
work and woven material of this tribe
are of peculiar excellence, and would
no doubt fetch high figures in competi-
ton with many of the commercial
products of our stores. But in the mat
ter of buying and selling the same GUS
tom that is observed by the Zunis
holds here-viz., no purchase can be
made indoors unless by the wife's con-
sent.

THE WOLPAI INDIANS.
characteristics Of a Queer Tribe
Of Arizona Aborigines.
They Live In State of Civilization Not
Much Inferior to That Possessed by
white Races-PeculIar Habits
of the Women.

In the Indian village or "city" OF
Wolpai in northwestern Arizona there
exists and has existed for centuries a
condition of civilization which is Meth
er socially nor morally much inferior to
that possessed by the American people
of to-day, with whom the members of
this tribe have had but little communi-
cation. 1t is particularly among the
Wolpai women that the degree of civil
OF course, writes w. +. Roberts in the
New York Sunday Advertiser, they
have strange customs, which are ut
terly at variance with the Christian
mode of living, but believe that the
following brief account of the life of a
Wolpai woman will not only be inter-
esting, but it will prove that, uncivil-
lied as they and all the North Ameri-
can Indians are supposed to be, the
women of this tribe are not measure
bly, far behind our American house
wives in industry, domestic tact and
ability or in morals.
When the child is born she is prayed
over, after the custom of the tribe, and
then strangely supcrstitious cere-
mony is gone through-viz., the baby
is rubbed with wood ashes ''in order
that her bones may not become loose"
Until she is ten years old she lives a
life of perfect childhood, romping,
climbing, playing with innumerable
toys and doing everything that civil
lied child would like to do, but dare
not. AS a result the little Wolpai
maiden of ten years old is well knit and
Dust, and has set upa natural foun-
Iation of health with which to begin
her life of usefulness.
At this age she dresses like her
elder sisters and is at once led into the
secrets of the kitchen and instructed
in the manufacture of baskets, pottery
and other useful wares, and before she
is fifteen she is skilled in carding and
dyeing wool and in weaving blankets,
petticoats and other garments. DR..
