and she thought of taking q cab to 70

was only '..step of way" Soon the
fast accumulating bundles in her arms
prevented her lifting her skirts, and the
fur binding on its edge dragged it down
on the Shiny pavements. Higher and

saw the passers by beginning to glance
sadly at that besmirched gown, as if in

apply to the peonage system, and in 1857, two
years after the close of the war, a special
law was passed to fit the crime. But the
law is evaded and the peonage system ex-
lists, but of course not so generally as for
merly. They are paid monthly by their
masters, a portion of which wages is in
aguardiente, a villainous compound, and
after few days rioting, feasting and
drinking they are again in debt to their
employer, who manages to keep them so.
Should they wish to leave their new en-
ployer must pay their indebtedness Each
Indian village has its own laws and gov
erns its subjects, and the cacique, or chief,
of the village always compelled them to
do their masters bidding; but lately, espe-
cially since the establishment of the gov
ernment schools, the poor Indians are rap
idly learning that they are no longer
slaves, and the caciques are fast losing
their power. This practice is not confined
to Mexican ranchers, but Indians enslave
those of their own tribe and are harder
taskmasters, if possible, than are the Mexi-
cans. The missionaries seem to have over
looked this fertile field of labor.

not always more harmonious name. They
select the most distinguished names they
can hear of, and often name themselves for
cities. Several are named Grover Cleve-
land and Benjamin Harrison, the names of
these "great fathers" being very popular
with them. To these names are added the
name of their tribe-for instance, Grover
Cleveland Majore, Benjamin Harrison
Pima, Mathew Quay Apache, John w.
Noble Isleta, and one young man calls
himself Chicago Apache.
The girls and women select more fastidi-
Gus names-those of pretty rivers, ancient
cities, empires, etc.-such as Nile Laguna,
Egypt Isleta and Mediterranean Vaneon
Mojave. Attached to the school is garden
of several acres, where the pupils put in
their extra time cultivating supplies for
the school. They also do shoe and boot
making, harness making, sewing, etc. The
women do the scrubbing, cleaning and
keeping the houses in order, and a detach-
ment of men and boys do the cooking.
A corps of cadets have the supervision
of the grounds and attend to the corporal
punishment of the pupils When pupil
runs away the cadets pursue him and cap
ture him. They hold a court martial and
fix the punishment-usually ten or twenty
lashes The government superintendent,
Mr.. Crueger, suggests a birch switch, but
the cadets prefer the cowhide, and they
inflict the punishment in the presence of
the entire school. The culprit stands stolid.
ly and takes his whipping without muir
mur. 1t would be considered womanish to
cry.
The superintendent cannot prescribe the
punishment nor increase it, but he can
diminish or remit it. This is done as
matter Of policy, so that the superin-
tendent can exercise mercy and gain the
good will Of his pupils, whereas, if he
were given the power of punishment, the
hatred of race would ripen into a rebellion.
The boys wear uniform, and the girls
wear the ordinary female dress. When
visited by their parents from the surround

trast in costume-the father in his Indian
costume greeting his son in an American

INLAND SHIPBUILDING.
The Lesson of Disastrous Season on the
Great Lakes.
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence.l
CLEVELAND, Dec 12.-The season of 1892
will long be memorable on the great lakes
for it's terrible disasters. Never in the his
tory of lake shipping have SO many lives
been lost and so much property destroyed
in single summer. In the first week of
November the insurance companies suf-
fered losses aggregating 100000, and the
total for the season will wipe out all profits
for the companies, while not less than sew
enty-fye lives have been lost, of which for
ty-four were in two great disasters.
These two-the laundering of the Western
Reserve on Lake Superior in September and
of the w. H. Gicher on Lake Michigan in
October-are perhaps the most sensational
wrecks that ever occurred on the lakes.
Both vessels were steel steamers, built on
the same model, and neither was over three
years old. Both were built by the Cleve-
land Shipbuilding company and were du-
plicates Of the Pontiac. They were 800 feet
long and Al feet BEAM and ranked with
the first steamers on these fresh water
seas. Yet both these fine vessels went down
in storms that were weathered by many
wooden steamers and much older craft.
1t was a terrible shock to lake vessel
owners and shipbuilders. Every one felt
such perfect confidence in the steel steamer
that the disasters seemed impossible. Nat
urally discussion followed and the con-
clusion is likely to be drawn in meeting
of insurance representatives soon to dc
eide upon proper method of strengthen
ing some of the steel steamers. 1t is now
generally admitted by vessel men that the
record breaking fever has been carried toe
far, and that the desire to have boats that
carried unusually heavy cargoes upon q

WESTERN WARBLERS
TWO SINGERS WHO ARE IN TOUCH
WITH NATURE.

One Is Captain Jack Crawford, the Poet
Scout, and tho other Is Joaquin Miller,
of Whom All Lovers of Literature Have
Heard.
The far west is still the land of ro-
nance to many million Americans, but
1t is no longer the wild west. Railroads
traverse it in many directions, and its
fertile valleys are turned into farms,
while mining towns and stock ranches
thickly dot all its wilder regions. The
day of the trapper and Santa Fe trader
passed long ago. The day of the scout
and Indian fighter is almost gone. After
the era of action comes the era of verse,
and two eminent men have distinguished
themselves in both lines-Joaquin Mil
Ter and Captain Jack Crawford, the
"poet scout.
The former is now referred to as quite
an old man, in complete retirement, al
most hermit at his home in the foot
hills of California, yet he was born in
1S41. Captain Crawford is considered
quite young man, yet he is nearly as
old as Miller-old enough indeed to be
veteran of the war for the Union. Cap

light draft has led to the construction Of
vessels that are too light in the upper hull
to stand the strain to which heavy lake
freighters are subjected. Both the West
ern Reserve and Gilcher were exception
ally heavy carriers for their size. This
simply meant that the vessel itself was
lighter by several hundred tons than some
other steel boats of the same dimensions.
The lake vessel is a peculiar type. 1t
must carry heavy cargoes on light draft
and must have an unusually strong bottom
to stand the rough usage it is apt TO get in
the ore and coal traffic. Arrangements
must also be made for rapid loading and
unloading, and for that purpose the deck is
cutout to remarkable extent, and from six
to nine large matches are put in. The result
has been disproportionate Strengthening
of the bottom or lower hull and weaken
ing of the top or upper hull. This prepares
the way for serious, perhaps fatal, strains
The strains come from the unequal loading
and unloading. Not infrequently the
cargo is taken out Of the bow before a
pound in the stern is lifted or the load is
removed from the middle and the bow and
stern left untouched
Many a stanch wooden boat on the lakes
would have broken in two under the treat
ment that some steel vessels have received
in the last two years. The loading is not
infrequently conducted in similar man
ner. Speed is the first consideration. As
many as 1900 tons of ore have been dumped
into boat in forty-fve minutes, and such
wonderful record cannot be made with
out the vessel receiving terrific shock.
The bolts in the plates are apt to be loos-
ened by the spring of the ship, and then
when the shock and pounding of a heavy
sea are encountered the bolt heads fly off
and leak develops. In the case of the
Western Reserve the seams opened in the
middle of the upper hull, and the great
vessel plunged down cut of sight in few
minutes
Already progress is being made toward
strengthening some steel steamers now in
commission and increasing the weight of
those building. The deck between the

The children seem rather confused at the
meeting-ashamed of the uncivilized COS
tune Of their parents-but their affection
has not waned. They only show their con-
fusion after the joys of meeting has some
what subsided. However, the parents are
satisfied that their children should remain,
wear the American dress and be taught to
worship the American Great Spirit. Very
few pupils become dissatisfied. But when
they do and their parents consent they are
permitted to leave.
The superintendent states that as rule
the boys are brighter than the girls
and learn much quicker, though the per-
ceptive qualities of both are rather dull,
and it takes great deal of explanation,
illustration and object teaching to make
them grasp the simplest ideas. OF course
the younger children progress more rapidly
than those aged twenty or twenty-five
years.
A Sunday school is also connected with
the government school. Few of the pupils
are 80 far advanced as to read the Bible,
but they are given oral instruction. The
Lords PraSer, the Ten Commandments
and the story .f the creation is repeated to
them, which t]iey commit to memory, or,
rather, the substantial meaning In re-
peating these to their teachers they give
what might be styled 'garbled extracts"
and express great surprise at the manu-
facture of woman from the rib of a man.
Great stress is laid upon the command
nents against lying and stealing, and the
teachers impress upon them that those
who steal and lie are thrown into this
everlasting lake of hellfre." 1t certainly
has its Immediate effect of terrorizing
them, but how long it will last Is as un-
certain perhaps as among their paleface
brethren.
A large new school building has just
been completed by the government at a
cost of about $780, 200. The school is having
a good effect In civilizing If not in Chris
tianizing these Indians. The Young idea
Is taught that slavery or peonage is v rong,
sinful and against the will of the father at
Washington, and these children in turn
impart this newly gained intelligence to
their parents, who are held in bondage as
strong as were negroes before the late civil
war.
