has just been totally wrecked on the
African coast. When thus engaged in
yachting, the archduke, who has a mas

in the habit of dropping his imperial
rank and assuming the name of Capt.
Neindorff. just as his brother, the late
Archduke John, adopted the name of

WAYS or INDIANS
Congressman Holman Talks Pleas
antly About HIS Wards.
As Chairman OF the Indian Affairs Conn
mittee OF the House lie Has Learned
Much OF the Peculiar Habits
of the Red Man

Congressman W. s. Holman leaned
back in his chair few evenings ago
and began to relate Indian stories.
They were not the blood-curdling sort
one finds in the yellow-covered series,
but plain, everyday incidents llustra-
tive of the Indians character The
present chairman brought a ripe exc
rience with him TO the head of the In
dian affairs committee. He gained Il
from several years Of careful study Of
the Indian character, writes the Wash
ingtOn correspondent Of the Indianapo-
lis News. 4 few years ego the Indiana
representative and pioneer economist
led a congressional investigating COM
Inittee through the Indian country.
They visited nearly every important
Indian post. covering them all in about
three months.
1.-The Indian doesn't yield readily to
the refining touch OF civilization" said
Dir. Holman, refectively. The white
man and his institutions are as much of
Il mystery to him to-day as when his
remote ancestors fed in open-eyed ter
Tor before the approach of Columbus
white Sails. An ILLUSTRATOR OF IlIS IS
afforded in the distrust which the In
dams have for the Indian schools. Left
to their own inclinations, not one In
dian parent in hundred would place
their children in an institution of learn
ing. Those who do seem to live in con-
slant fear that some harm will befall
their children, or perhaps 1t is the in
born savage nature which revolts at an
alienation from his primitive habits and
customs.
"A few years ago Mennonite of a
philanthropic frame of mind went
from the Dakotas into the Indian ter
ritOry and established school near
the northern boundary. A few hun
bred miles to the south of him were the
Apaches and Arapahoes. By his per-
suasive powers he soon enlisted about
three hundred pupils. When the school
opened it stood out in the open prairie,
many miles from any habitation and
great distance from the Indian villages.
But he had not been running the
school more than week before he
noted the sudden appearance at

very common form of ailment is shared
by all the members of his family, and

sailor princes, the duke OF Edinburgh,
now ruler of the duchies of Saxe-Co-
burg-Cotha, and the duke OF York, who
have suffered severely therefrom when
ever they have gone TO sea after spell
