learn with pain Of a confession made by .

He owned that he and man holding q Ike

which was intended to advertise 10 each thas

He insisted that this mark was placed upon

Lieut.. Powhatan II. Clarke, 10th q. s. Cav,
who lost his life on Friday, July 81, while
swimming in the Little Big Horn River, near
the spot where the gallant Custer and most of
his command were massacred, was native OF

pointed to the Military Academy in 1880,
graduating In 1884 we'll to the head of his
class. He was commissioned Second Lieuten-
ant, 10th Cav. on June 15 1884, and was as
signed to duty on the frontier. He remained
there until 1886, when he became distinguished
by the presentation to him of a medal of honor
for gallautry in action against the hostile
Apache Indians in Mexico. The deed performed
by the Lieutenant was rushing forward to the
rescue of O soldier who lay disabled and ex-
posed to the enemy's fire. and carried him, in
the face of the enemy. to place of safety.
Lieut.. Clarke was shortly afterward assigned
as Military Attache in Berlin. where he entered
served for year. This was the first time an
Army. He returned in 1891, and was promoted
First Lieutenant of the 9th Cav, from which
he was transferred back TO the 10th Cav. in
February, 1892. He was married about year
ago. His wife survives him.
To Buy Oak View.
It has been decided by the W.R.C. of Illinois
to buy the farm of George z. Trowbridge, in
Wilmington, Will County, for the sum of S., 000
the property to be used as q Soldiers Home.
The deed will be given in the latter part of
August. The farm is known as Oak View.
There being 215 organizations of Corps in the
State, it is thought that each one can contribute
enough to support the Home.

GERMAN vEsTIBULED TRAINS.

Comfort Secured ifor North German
Lloyd Steamship Co.'S. Passengers.
The luxurious vestibuled express
trains with which we are familiar in
this country are gradually obtaining
a footing in the German railway sys-
TENS. The Prussian railway manage
ment has constructed special train of
vestibuled saloon carriages, fret and
second class, to transport the passengers
from and for the New York express
steamers of the North German LLOYD
steamship company between the city of
Bremen and the port of Bremen, Brem-
erhaven, distance of about 30 miles.
This new vestibuled saloon train for
passengers of the North German Lloyd
consists of five saloon carriages OF the
first class and five saloon carriages OF
the second class, each built after the
American plan, with eight axles,
and provided with vestibule connec-
tions between the carriages in the same
manner as our vestibuled limited trains.
These carriages have been furnished
in the most luxurious manner. Every
carriage contains a saloon finished in
the finest woods, with silk hsngings and
upholstery, and number of staterooms
for small parties with toilet arrange
ments, etc.
The progressive spirit of the German
railway management is also shown in
the additional train facilities created be-
tween Bremen-the terminus OF the
North German Lloyd Steamship COM
pany-and the German interior. A new
express train has been placed in service
between Bremin and Berlin, by which
the number of daily express trains be-
tween these cities is increased to five.
This new express train leaves Bremen
at A 80 p. M, 30 that the passengers of
the North German Lloyd Steamship
company-who generally arrive in the
morning - can make connections for
Berlin, where they arrive at :55 p. m.
The time between Bremen and Berlin
is, therefore reduced to five hours and
twenty-five minutes. Close connections
are made at Berlin for Dresden, Leipsic,
Vienna, and for Southern Germany,
In the direction from Berlin to
Bremen, q new train will leave Berlin at
ll:55 p. M, arriving in Bremen at O
q. M.
These additional trains will be boon
to the travelling public, and will remedy
the complaint 30 frequently expressed
as to the railway connections from
Bremen. 1t is gratifying to learn that
the spirit of American railroad enter
prise has affected railway management
in Europe, and especially that German
railway officials should thus provide for
American tourist travel arriving iu
German ports by the steamers OF the
Forth German Lloyd Steamship COM

THE INDIANS.
What Is Being Done by the Government
at Perris.

What Is Being Done by the Government
at Perris.
@. J. Davis, teacher of industrial arts
at the government Indian school, three
miles north of Perris, in this county, is
in the city, says the San Diego Union.
He states that there are at present 102
Indian children at the school, ranging
in age from five to eighteen years, and
remarkable aptitude is shown by all of
them in the work mapped out for them
to perform. M. III. Savage is superin-
tendent, and there are besides him about
eight teachers, although no other branch
than agriculture has as yet been insti-
tuted at the school. In time, however,
all the industrial and mechanical arts
will be taught.
The land for the institution, compris.
ing so acres, was all donated by prop
erty owners in the vicinity, and fine
buildings, consisting of boys dormi-
tory and school room and girls dormi-
tory and dining room, have been COM
pleted at cost of $4,000. The fret
installment of scholars was received
last February from the mission schools
of the state, to which it occupies rela-
lively the same position as does a
high school to the ordinary grammar
grades.
Since the scholars were received all
the land has been put under cultivation,
all but seven acres being devoted to
cereals. The farm is under an excellent
system OF irrigation, partly by pressure
and partly by gravity.
The school, which has a capacity of
125 scholars, is one of eight similar in
situations in Southern California, all
operated by the government and con-
nected in no way with any reservation.
The appropriation for the Perris school
has this year been $22, 800, which sum is
intended to be sufficient to feed, clothe
and house all the Indian children who
may during the year become pupils.
The object of Mr., Davis visit to San
Diego at this time was partly to inspect
the Indian school at the old mission,
which has, since it's establishment. be-
come very prosperous under the man
agement OF Father Ubach. Perfet har-
mony exists between this institution and
the Perris school, although the former
is under Roman Catholic domination
and the latter, as are all government
schools, is non-sectarian.
