AN UNExPLORED ISLAND.
Its Queer Population of Indians, Proba-
bly, of Mexican Origin.

James Millar, who has, long re-
sided on Prince of Wales island, and
who, by reason of his being the first
white settler and now controlling
the largest interest, is referred to as
the monarch of that island, is in San
Francisco. Mr.. Millar is located at
Hunters bay, where he has been for
four years engaged in the business
of catching and sailing salmon, says
the San Francisco Chronicle.
The strange island of Prince of
Wales, on which Mr.. Millar has
elected to make his home, lies at the
mouth of Dixon's entrance, and only
about three miles from the northern
line of British Columbia The island
is about 200 miles long and from ten
to thirty or forty wide. 1t is singu-
lar in its makeup, having a fringe
of lowland all around. Toward the
center are ridges of noun tains, some
of them reaching lofty heights and
covered with perpetual snow There
is magnificent tim Der in great guam
titles 1t consists of spruce, fir, hem
lock, splendid yellow cedar and
very superior red cedar.
The island has never been sur
veyed nor explored," said Mr.. Mil
lar, land some day it must prove,
think, most inviting field for ex-
ploration. The Indians, of whom
there are probably some 5000, are
scattered around the island shores
in little villages, usually of about
100 inhabitants each. They consist
of many different tribes. Most of
those | came in contact with are
Hydahs. There are between 800 and
400 of them at Hunters bay, and
they are quite industrious as fisher
men and salters of the salmon. The
Hydah Indians came up from the
Queen Charlotte islands many years
ago and made conquest, driving the
native tribe out. The former are
very superior Indians. They are in
telligent, and pick up anything very
! quickly. 1 think they originally
came from Mexico, as they much re-
| semble the Mexican race. Some of
them, have noticed, have as fine
i faces as any white man, and as full
and fine boards.
"Though Prince of Wales island
has many resources. l do not think
it will be of any use for agriculture.
When | left, on December II, there
was some snow at Hunters bay, but
still it was not cold. My nearest
white saeighhors~ are @.at-the Preshy-
terian missionary station of Howkan,
twenty-five miles away. At my place
there are no white persons, except
my wife and children, and they are
away for the winter
Mr.. Millar is of middle age and has
a pronounced Scotch accent. He is
of type of the hardy pioneer only to
be met st such faraway outposts

In a BackwOOds Court.

In Mississippi there used to be
county where it was almost impos
sible to hold court on account of the
lawless backwoods element. Judge
Clarke once went there to hold court
The first day he had a bucket of watel
poured over him from a chimney
hole in the roof. and several pistol
shots were fired in the courtroom
The next day, as he opened court. he
laid two large pistols on his desk
and at the first signal of disturbance
levelled the pistol at the man anG
conducted him to jail. After that
there was no more distur bance, anc
the better element of the community
were anxious that he should return
the next term; but he declined with
a sentence that has passed into po
litical proverb IN Mississippi: Il re-
gard my coming into this country as
an adventure; I regard my leaving
as an escape. .''-Argonaut.

How Men Are Compelled to Remain
Criminals.

How Men Are Compelled to Remain
Criminals.
If horse falls on the street, men
raise him up. If a man STUN bles on
life's pathway, men are too apt to
| spurn him and let him die. Those
who have done wrong and repented
often complain that the world is cold
| and merciless 1t may not seem 50
| to those Of us who have received the
golden mintage of life, who have not
been under the worlds ban and is
pleasures; but bitter experience is
more able to testify of these things
than we are. Speaking to a crimi-
nal who had served sentence in one
of our state prisons, Iasked him how
he did.
Il was guilty. [ bore the penalty
of my CRIME; but," he said, ''men
avoid me. If I sinned, l suffered.
But men are not satisfied to. restore
me to their confidence"
"A jail bird:" The title is the
mans doom all too often. He may
have given years of repentance for
the mad impulse of a moment, but
an outcast once an outcast forever
in his life.
It is difficult to make prison pun
ishment reformatory, but if difficult,
it is not impossible. And charity
has no better, no more needed work
than to give man returning to so
ciety from felon's cell every chance.
Many criminals are made so be-
cause we partly demand they shall be
criminals, says the New York Ledger.
We say: You are dog, a pariah, in
whom have no confidence, for whom
we have no respect. Actions. say
this. And when a man has no repu-
tation left to live and act for, he is
apt to slide down. We deprive him
of a handspring of his morality
1t is well to be wise in treating
the man who is down, but oh, don't
~he~eTer prudent! There is charity
which hesirates to relieve until the
opportunity is lost.
Il stand here for the third time to
be sentenced because no man has
given me a chance since I first fell. ;
So said an apparently hardened
criminal to the judge of a state su.
preme court.
That man and every other like
him, must have a chance Give it tc
him, to use if he will do so. to abuse
if still unreformed; but have it he
must, ere our duty to God and mar
is complete. And when nearing the
goal Of life's journey, we look back
upon the way our feet have trodden
our greatest satisfaction will hover
around the place and time where an6
when we helped the man who was
| down.
