THE. INDIANS ON PUGET SOUND.

AO ACA1u8 S00DOu OV0F, InOy GATH.
or In Cities in Large Numbers.
At the end of the hop-pickipg season
the Chinook Indians engaged in the
fields gather in the principal towns to
lay in their stock of clothes and provi-
sions. Their long, high-prowed canoes
may be seen darling about the wharves
filed with the result of their expendi-
lures. Quantities of red. blue and vel
low blankets, forming the most gor.
geous array of color, are spread about,
and, with their gay costumes, the ef-
feet is weirdly picturesque.
Formerly, before the Indians were SO
largely superseded by white pickers,
the fleets, which were always presided
over by scion of the royal line, and
numbered from twenty to thirty canoes
and from fifty to one hundred pickers,
were sight to behold. Then what a
confusion and chatter of voices ensued
when at last the canoes, loaded to the
waters edge with siwashes, klootch-
mans, dogs, papooses, utensils and pro-
visions, padded away! Many of the
Indians came from far away Alaska,
consuming months in transit. In fact,
it took them the greater part of the
year to come down for the annual hop
picking, which lasted trifle over three
weeks.
Angeline, the daughter of Chief Sc
attic, is familiar character about the
streets of Seattle. She is said to be
ninety years old, and certainly looks
every day of it. She is short, dumpy.
blear-eyed; her face is a network of
deeply-furrowed lines, and altogether
she looks like a revivjfied mummy. But
she carries her head high on her
shoulders, walks with-a firm step, and
helps herself without let or hindrance
to anything in the way of fruit or con-
fectionery that happens to lie in her
path. For many years it was said
of her that on certain occasion she
saved the whites from massacre, but
the story is now generally -discredited,
Old Seattle, chief of the Suquampsh and
allied tribes, was always friendly to the
white men, and his memory is much

Once upon time man got mad

The next week he sold his corn al
four cents below the market price.
Then his property was sold for taxes

WHITE FOR FREE COINAGE.

Stephen White, the newly elected
Senator from California is sound on
the currency question. In his
speech of acceptance he said:
"That there should be no more
law than is essential to liberty and
security; that the Government should
be honestly and economically car
RED on without the use. of over COM
pick machinery; that the Judiciary
shall administer exact justice, and
that the Republic shall have within
it no Office or officer not within the
easy approach of the poor and weak,
the great and strong, are precepts
which viii not be denied Nor do |
think that many will be found to
dispute that an honest currency, Of
fering no advantage to bankers,
bondholders, spectators or monop~
olists not also offJrded to the laborer
The producer and to our numt rous
and ill-treated agriculturlsts, is not
only desirable, but essential. l
have often expressed myself in
favor of gold and silver, and | trust
that a condition of things will soon
be brought about thas viii lead the
people OF this country and those Sc
lectel to its National Legislature to
recognize that contracted currency
is not in the interest Of the tillera of
the soil, of those who reallyneed pro-
lection, but is after all mere means
of further enriching the possesscrs of
those enormous fortunes which today
constitute the greatest menace.

no DISCREPANCY.

The Reno Journal seems to be able
to take the premium for being more
largely misinformed on State Capt.
tol Enatters than any paper in Nsv-
ada.
1t claims that there is a discrep-
sncy between the Governors figures
on the State debt and the Controllers
report of it. The Journal figures the
discrepancy at S22,72o65.
On page 5 of the Controllers re-
port the State debt is placed at S218. :
292 80, january 1st. 1893.
On page . of the Governors mes
sage, he figures the State debt jan
urary 1st. 1898, at S218, 282.39.
There don't seem to be much of
discrepancy in these figures.
The Journal man got the debt of
1891 and 1892 mixed and hence made
the error, just as 1t did recently in
the cost of running ths State Prison
and Insane Asylum.

Cause OF Buffers Death.

1t is stated that autospy on the
body of Genaral Butler, showed that
the cause of death was the bursting
of small blood vessel in the brain,
caused by violent fit of coughing.
All the organs were in excellent con
ditlon, and but for this accidental
cause he would have probably lived
several years. His brain weighed
four ounces more than that of Dan
lei Webster, ore Of TIE largest on
record.

SHORT SNAPPERS.

The Jockey club meeting will be
a success.
City Collector Rische is getting
ready to do big business in selling
land.
West End makes a good showing
in the taX-list, but gets but little in
return.
The candidates in the Third
ward are being loaded down with
prom ises.
L. Wolfson is doing a rushing
business with the hOusekeepers
this week.
The tax cost is the same on a $50
lot as it is upon the delinquent who
owes $4,000 in taxes.
The aIdermanic candidates in
the third ward should not throw
"mud" at each other.
J. f. Hooper, secretary Of the
Jockey club, is expected home
from Dallas tonight.
The council has plenty of work
on it's hands. Some good resolu-
tiOns and messages are due.
Thsdelay in calling an election
for alderman is causing unfavor-
able comment in the Third ward.

A glance over the delinquent

A DEADLY REVOLVER
ENDS THE CAREER OF EU-
GENE P. HOPKINS.
He Was up at Business Hours in
an Apparently Cheerful Manner
and Found Dead Two Hours
Later-No Cause Assigned.

Eugene p. Hopkins left home
this morning in an apparent hap
py frame of mind. On arriving at
the store of the HOOper-Mayer
company, wholesale liquor dealers,
at No. 203 Alamo plaza, where he
was employed as bOOk-keepcr,
he showed no signs Of dependency.
About 9 O'Clock Hopkins went
into a little store room in the
northwest corner of the building,
which is also used as the bedroom
of one of the employees, and there
committed deed, over which be
had probably mediated for sever
al days past. He shot himself
through the forehead and in an
instant his lifeless body lay on the
floor, covered with blood. The
pistol used was a 3S-calibre, six
shooter, and was loaded for six
shots, one of which was discharged.
In the store, at the time of the
shooting, were Frank StabenOw, a
porter; w. ]. Weber, clerk in the
office; j. II. Erkner, collector for
the San Antonio Jockey club;
Henry Menger, shipping clerk for
the firm, and one or two others.
None of them heard the shot and
knew nothing of the occurrence ur-
til Frank Stabenow, who was nail
ing boxes at the time, went into
the room and saw the PROSTATE
body on the floor. He Immediate
ly raised the alarm and the news
of the occurrence was soon spread
over the city.
A reporter for the LIGHT hastily
repaired to the scene for particu-
lars as soon as the information was
received. Arriving at the place, a
large crowd was in front of the
building trying to gain entrance.
A squad of police was soon on hand
and the throng was kept back, ex-
cepting those directly interested,
and reporters.
Justice +. Gritf Jones was sum-
mOned and responded Immediate
ly. He viewed the body and rem
dered the verdict that death was
caused by bullet ball from a
pistol in the hand of. f. p. Hop
kins, with suicidal intent.
Deceased has been in the EMPLOY
of that firm for the past three
years, and was always known to
be honest in all his dealings and
business transactions. The cause
of his rash act is unknown, as he
left no papers nor letters, and his
books apparently, are in good con-
ditiOn. He resided at No. 400
Avenue c, from which place the
funeral will probably take place
tomorrow.
Hopkins leaves wife and three
little children. He is about thirty
six years Of age, and has a number
Ofrelatives residing in Austin, his
former home.
The members of the firm and
the employees were in a state of ex,
element when the reporter called
around, and refused to give more
particulars Of the occurrence. The
wife was notified of her husbands
sad death.
