The Iroquois Women.

A gentleman, recently returned from q
visit to the Indians of the Onondaga rescr-
walton in this state, said the other day: -
was surprised to find the women of the
nation held in such high esteem. My pre-
conceived notion of the Indian squaw was
that she is the drudge and slave of her
lazy, semibarbarous master and that she
is in no way honored by the males of her
race This is the case, l am told, with
most tribes of the American red men, but
1t was never so with the nations of the
Iroquois confederacy. In fact, the women
were held in so high regard by the Iro-
quois that they were spoken of as a people
ruled by women.
"This popularity is evidenced in their
life today 1t is true that there isn't much
work done by any of the Indians, but the
men do ost,of what is done, the squaw
only being called on to attend to her
household duties. The superiority of the
squaw to the buck is shown in the fact
that the children, according to the custom
of the 1roquois, belong to the family or
nation of their mother. If Seneca In
dian marries an Onondaga squaw and
they have children, the latter are Onon-
dagas, and should the father be of the
family of the Wolf and the mother of the
Snipc clan the children are Snipes 1t Is
as if John Smith married Mary Jones
and child of the marriage was named
John Jones. Another indication of the
superiority of the squaw is shown in the
Indian manner of speaking of a man and
woman. In English they habitually re-
fer to her and him as doing something,
being somewhere or saying something

THE HOUSEHOLD.
SUNSET.

The children gather at the fence
Thc gate swings outward to the westl,
And watch the purple hills from whence
The father comes with food and rest.
Their heightened shadows fall behind.
Their faces glow the while they wait
To bid him welcome when they find
That fathers coming to the gate.
We turn away, when sunset fills
Our valleys with glory sweet,
And on the green immortal hills
We catch the sound Of coming feet.
Our heightened shadows fall before,
Our faces darken as we wait.
All, foolish children, who dcplore
The Fathers comi~ at the gate.

The force of soldiers comprises 300,

from Spring Valley and towns west,
will probably number 1000. The lead

A Large Amount OF Land Under Water.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 2s.-The hot
temperature of the past few days has
melted the snow and glutted all streams
flowing into Puget sound. Skagit river
is higher than for IA years and is still
rising. At Mount Vernon business is
suspended. The whole lower part Of
the town is flooded. Fifteen square
miles of the farming land around Mount
Vernon will be under water before
night and crops will be inundated.
Skagit delta, more than 10 square miles,
it under water, and so is Olympia
marsh. Hamilton, Avon and Sterling
are inundated, and it is said three miles
of the Great Northern tracks are washed
out. Practically all the farming land
in Skagit county is under water. The
mills and the electric light plant at
Mount Vernon are shut down. The
Snohomish, Skykomish and Stillaguma

The Green, White and Puyallup rivers

PROSPECTS DULL.
~Unfavorable Conditions Prevail in Bust

Unfavorable Conditions Prevail in Bust.
ness Circles Throughout the Country.
New YORK, May 2S.-Bradstreet's
Trade Review says:
The unfavorable conditions prevail
ing in commercial and industrial cir
cles throughout the country, together
with the prospect for no material i'm
provement during the summer, marks
the present season as probably the dull
est relatively for 20 years. At no time
since the panic and business depression
manifested themselves last year have
reports as to the volume Of sales of
merchandise, the manufacture Of staple
goods and the indisposition Of mer-
chants generally to buy except for abb
solutely immediate wants been so pro-
nounced and so general throughout the
country as during the past few weeks.
Superficial examinations of business
conditions leading to unwarranted
Ortimistic Conclusions
as to the nearby future Of trade have
not been wanting; but, as a matter Of
fact, based on comprehensive and care
full examination, the next few months
promise a continued if not an intensity
ing of existing conditions of extreme
dizziness and depression.
Quite unfavorable advices come from
Pittsburg, where there are numerous
shutdowns, involving large numbers Of
men. The total number Of industrial
employees idle as q result OF coal scare
lty is placed at 80, 600, and the total
number idle on account Of the strike,
which now appears likely to fail, is
100000. In other industrial lines Is, 900
men are reported idle as a result of
strikes. An encouraging industrial
feature is the probable settlement Of
next seasons iron and steel wage scale
without q strike.
Prices Of Staples Unsteady.
The price movement as to staples
continues to see-saw, cotton, wheat,
corn and oats all reacting slightly from
former. depressions, while wool, sugar.
lard, coffee and livestock all show de-
clines. The stress of financial panic
and trade commissions in the latter por-
ton Of 1898 pushed many Of the weaker
concerns to the wall, SO that by Feb. /
the average number failing weekly in
tfe United States had gotten down to
normal proportions. This week the to-
tai is 237, against 1875 last week, as com
pared with 247 in the week a year ago,
when the total began to expand, under
special conditions, and as compared
with III in the week in 1892.

the power through the courts to compel
the attendance and testimony of wit
nesses and the production of papers

by the commission are Judicial in their
nature. The decision is Of Importance,
