INDIAN BARBARlTIES.
Frightful Orgies Along the West Coast Of
British Columbia.


British Columbia,
The attention of the department of In
dian affairs has been called to the bar
barous practices of the Indians along the
west coast of northern British Columbia,
who, it appears, are still indulging in
Iannibalism, supposed to have been long
ago given up. H. J. Simpson, a trader
who has spent 20 years in the vicinity of
Fort Ruperts, has just arrived here and
states that the Indians carry on their
dances with all their old time ferocity,
the only difference being that now they
are careful to have their widest orgies
only in the depth of winter, when the in
clemency of the season has practically
put a stop to trading and hunting and
has driven all white men, including mis-
sionaries, 10 move to comfortable quar-
ters.
SO soon us they have the field to them
selves preparations are started for the
most disgr sting orgies. Simpson, who,
having married a full blooded "Klootch-
man." is what is known as a "squaw-
man." has been specially favored or
trusted by being permitted to witness
some of these rites and gives terri
BILE description of what is known to the
Indians as imam eater Dance" which
he witnessed a few months ago. In
this dance the manista, or chief char
acter, horrifies the spectators by appear
ing with mummy" or the shriveled
remains of back number native, taken
from an eminence upon which it was
exposed to dry after death, and tearing
the shrivelad flesh from the bones as he
dances about huge log fire, all the
time uttering the most frightful sounds
in the Indian vocabulary of lamentations.
Simpson also lately saw the horrible
torture of a maiden in connection with
another dance, in which, to prove herself
worthy to be the bride of brave chief
tain, she allowed great barbed hooks to
be driven through the flesh of her back
and danced almost naked, while the chief
held the reins attached to the hooks and
by series of wrenches eventually tore
the flesh apart and released them. Mis-
sionaries have taken great credit through
out the civilized world for having con-
verted these savages, and the govern
ment has been led to believe that the
dances now carried on are only imita-
tions of former barbarity, but Simpson,
who is a reliable man, asserts that they
are no mockery at all, but most revolt
ing and cruel reality.-Victoria (B. O.

Some of the Candidates Who Will Contend
For the Exalted Place In November.
The convention of the two houses of
parliament for the election of president
of the French republic has been fixed for
Nov. 2 at Versailles. Besides Carnot,
whose position is not yet declared, there
are no less than eight active candidates.
They are:
NJ. Casimir-Perier, prime minister at
the present moment and highly favored
candidate.
M. Dupuy, speaker of the chamber. If
he reaches the Elysee, Vaillant's bomb
will have helped to send him there.
M. Challemel Lacour, president of the
senate.
M. Magrin, governor of the Bank of
France.
M. Meline of apostle protection.
Admiral Gervais, the fgurehead of the
French-Russian amenities.
The austere Brisson, who would get
the Radical Socialist vote.
Waldeck Rousseau, the Benjamin of
the Gambetta ministry, who, though out
of politics, is the chief luminary of the
Paris bar.-Paris Correspondent.

Frank and Literal.

An amusing story is given in The La
dies Pictorial of little girl who had
been very naughty, so that the aunt
whom she was visiting had to punish
her.
When she came to say her prayers at
night, her little mind was still full of
wrath against her aunt, but yet the
child did not quite like to leave her
name out Of her evening devotions, so
she compromised matters by saying,
pray, God, bless father and mother"
then, after long pause, she added,
land bless Aunt Julia, too, but not
much.
1t Is perhaps natural that little chill
dren should expect their small supplica-
lions to be answered literally. We can
sympathize with the small boy over his
sums who said to his governess in a
puzzled, half indignant voice:
81 can't do my sums, can't, and
did ask God to help me, and he's made
three mistakes already"

The Indian Way of Celebrating a Verdict
of Not Guilty In Murder Trial.

The Indian Way of Celebrating Verdict
of Not Guilty In Murder Trial.
A dozen Indians wrapped in blankets
sat in silence in an Office in the Hyde
block Wednesday evening and smoked
the pipe of peace. 1t followed the YER
dict in the Sischimoo murder case in the
United States court. When it was an
nounced to the Indians in waiting that
the jury had returned verdict, the pris-
oner's sad eyed father brought forth the
famous pipe of peace and slowly filled it
with tobacco. Then while the jury was
being polled the Indians sat in silence
and awaited the result. When Colonel
Winston entered the little room few
minutes later with the prisoner, Simon
Sischimoo, the boys face was wreathed
in smiles. He grasped his old fathers
hand and spoke in the Indian tongue.
The disconsolate expression left the old
mans face; he smiled and shook his boys
hand warmly. Then, while Simon was
shaking hands with others of the circle,
the old father applied match to the
pipe. A few whiffs were taken, the
smoke being exhaled through the nose;
then it was passed around. Everything
was excitement about them, but the Cir
Gle was unmoved by emotion or interest
until each had gone through the ceremony
of peace; then they arose and rushed out
to get their certificates for fees, which
amounted to $15 for each witness.-Spo-

Mrs. Rlaekburn,s statement.

Mrs. Blackburn authorizes The Couri-
er-Journal correspondent to say that the
statement made and reported in the press
that she has rendered Madeline Pollard
any financial aid is wholly untrue. Mrs.
Blackburn says that she has given that
person no money directly or indirectly,
nor has she had anything to do with her
whatever except to appear in court and
give her testimony, as she believes it was
her duty to do. Mrs. Blackburn trusts
that her friends will believe this state
ment and disbelieve any other stories
connecting her name with the plaintiff
in the late sensational suit.-Louisville

A Fable.

Once it happened that as a sweet and
beauteous young maiden was passing
along the highway she noticed partic.
ularly deep and nasty mud puddle,
which the inhabitants of the place called
"Politics.
Thereupon the tender heart of the
maiden was moved with pity for the
passersby, whose sight and nostrils were
offended by this grievous thing.
So she spake unto herself and said:
Behold, am / not fair and pure and
beautiful? Are not my garments clean
and spotlessp Therefore will cast my.
self into this puddle and purify itP'
But when she had cast herself into
the mire and rolled in it the effect on
the puddle was not perceptible. but the

Many friends and acquaintances called
upon her, each leaving token of re-

Mrs. Anna Herbel of Cape May county,
who will be 102 years old this summer.
Mrs. Chard was born in Brandywine,
Chester county, Pa, on April 20, 1889.
Her maiden name was Hannah Milden-
berg, and she is of old Pennsylvania
Dutch parentage. Her father died when
The was about years old, and she went
to live with Quaker family, with whom
she stayed II years, when she married,
the wedding taking place in log cabin

he was 81 years old. Twelve children
were born to them, four of whom are now
living.
She has 48 grandchildren and 140 great
grandchildren, the most of whom were
present.
She gathered the family about her in
the afternoon and told many interesting
stories of occurrences that happened 80
and 80 years ago. One particularly in
teresting narrative was how she gathered
rifle balls on the battlefield of Brandy
wine when she was years old.
Her health is exceptionally good, and
her hearing and seeing faculties serve
her well. She is an ardent Christian,
and while she cannot readily read has q
chapter in the Bible read to her every
day by some member of the family, and
on pleasant Sundays she attends church.
She finds great comfort in her clay pipe,
which she smokes four times day
