HOW THE DAYS ARE SPENT.

Time does not hang heavily, for ev
cry man in the camp is provided with
enough to do to keep him employed
during good portion Of the day There
are plenty of jokers among the boys in
the tents, and they exert themselves to
amuse their more serious companions.
Guard mount is one of the interest
ing features of the days exercises 1t
is then that the orderlies are selected,
and there is always great rivalry
among the boys for the positions. The
higher title the person TO be served pos
sesses, the greater the honor. When
the detail of guards from the com
panies ID given out, some member
of each company generally announces
that he Twill try for orderly" That
is enough to excite the pride Of the Or
ganizstion and willing hands promptly
20 to work to make him look pretty"
His clothes are carefully brushed. his
shoes, belt and gun polished and every,
thing done to make the candidate as
neat looking as possible.
A big crowd of visitors was expected
in camp Sunday, as the railroads had
arranged to run excursion trains from
Philadelphia. Harrisburg and other
points. The rain interfered and left
the camp entirely deserted, save by its
occupants.

Albert Jones, yicious-looking negro,
was charged in police court, Friday
morning, with assault with intent to
murder Mary Button, and pleaded
guilty to assault. The woman refused
to testify against the prisoner although
she told frightful tale Of brutal treat
ment to the police. Judge Ball stated
that there ought to be some mode of
Furnishing witnesses of this character
who defeat the ends of justice by refus-
ins to testify on taking the stand.
Sergeant Black testified that he was
walking down Scott street near Ford,
at o'clock Thursday night, when he
heard the screams of the woman and
heard perfect shower of stones whistle
through the air. He found the woman
holding her back and yelling at the top
of her voice. She said Jones had struck
her with a missile.
A sister of the victim went on the
stand and testified that she saw Jones
throw several stones at the woman but
did not see them hit her.
The negro was fined $40 and costs
and required to furnish 5000 peace
bond. He went over.

oARLIsLE 1yD1AN rnA1xfyG
Culture of the Indian shown in Vocal
and instrumental Music.

1t Is question seriously put whether
finer Instrumental music, outside of that
of Strauss, Gilmore or Thomas, has ever
been heard than that Of the band of the
United States Indian Industrial School
within the walls of the Opera House
last night week.
The opening piece, the overture from
the "Caleph of Bagdad," was simply
magnificent. Indeed, everything essayed
by the splendid band of 30 pieces was of
the first quality.
Equally high encomium Is due the
choir OF 40 Indian voices. The harmony
was delightful.
There were trios and solos that were
encored over and over again. The
same redemands were compelled for the
Instrumentation.
Bishop Coleman presided and made q
most excellent chairman of the evening.
The young Indians, male and female,
conversant with some 80 different
tongues, were a remarkably fine class
of people. Almost all showed the dis
tinctlve Indian feature type, dark hair
and deep black eyes.
Elmer Simon, u Chippewa, made an
excellent address of welcome. He has
a fine sonorous voice aud natural
majesty Of tone suggestive of what the
style of Black Hawk must have been.
The choir gave the Gloria from
Mozart's XII mass, in excellent vocal
style. There was bass harmony that
was noticeable for its fine effect. 1.-THE
Pilot" was sung very we'll by an Indian
boy. The next number was the
Carlisle Indian School March," ain
original production by the Indian band
master, Dennison Wheelock. This re-
ceiyed most worthy encore. This was
merrily done in the popular air, "And
He Winked the Other Eye"
The Misses Julia Doris, Rosalie
Doctor and Linnie Thompson sang a
delightful duet, wake Wake Wake"
Then followed the chorus, Joy, JOY,
Freedom To-day" in bright, merry
information.
Captain Pratt, an ex-army officer who
is in charge OF the Carlisle school, next
made an address.
In speaking of his wards he said that
they write to their families at least once
a month, and frequently, after they
leave the school, return to their homes
on the different reservations. Ii they do
not, they support themselves by the
various trades which they learn. The
boys arc all taught some trade, such as
carpentering ,shoemaking, Timing, black
smlthing, &c. Marriages often occur
amongst the members of the school
when they have completed their course,
and the newly-wedded couple go as
tenants on some of the PENNSYLVANIA
or New Jersey farms. In the school
two papers are publlshed-a weekly
and monthly.
In the school are about $50 Indians,
representing 81 tribes. OF these, "a
different tribes were seen here. All
are compelled to speak English, and no
two representatives of the same tribe
are allowed to room together. They
are very initiative, and are devoted to
music after they obtain some knowledge
of it. The Indian, by nature, is not,
however, a musical person.

master-minds of the world; they are
better. Third, take the newspapers.
They give all that is most desirable of
books and magazines; they are the great
springs from which flow universal
knowledge; they are the daily chroni-
clers Of history; they are the mouth
pieces of all manner Of men; they make
and unmake governments; they are the
chosen recorders of current thought;
they arc the stimulating force in tho
various channels of moral and intel
lectual development; they are best of all.
My deduction should be clear to you.
The newspaper press stands foremost as
an influence for good along all lines of
thought and action. And let. me add,
the newspapers Of any given commu-
nifty are largely what the readers of
that particular community decide to
make them,

Money Was Drawn With the Complain
ants Approval.
Mrs. Eugene Wells, who lives in the
second story of the Lewis Building at
Seventh and Market streets, has lodged
information with State Detectives Witsil
and Money, against her husband, whom
she charges with forgery. She says
that previous to her husbands depart
ure year and half ago, he forged her
name to two checks on the National
Bank of Delaware for $500 and then
deserted her. She now seeks to make
the bank pay over the missing money.
The officials at the Bank of Delaware,
where Mrs. Wells had on deposit at one
time assert that the $500 was drawn
with her consent. The woman is unable
to read and write, and Cashier Baird
declares that every time money was
drawn from the bank Mrs. Wells made
her mark, which was duly witnessed.
Mrs. Wells, on the other hand, says the
marks" were forgeries. The officials
at the bank scout the forgery story.
Mrs. Wells is in destitute circumstances,
she asserts, and supports herself and
two small children by taking in wash
ing. When asked for her version of the
story she said that if she could only get
enough money from the bank to help
her and the children along she would be
satisfied,
