The language of the WyanGottes is
soft and rich. and Jim speaks it fluent
ly. He refers in the highest terms to
the chief of that tribe in his time, a
man of great personality, strong char
acter and good executive ability. named
Bill Walker. An execution of an In
dian by members of the tribe for muir
dering an old man is described by
"Uncle Jim" graphically and in detail.
The death warrant was read with great
impressiveness by Chief Walker after
the trial, and the prisoner was then

The description of the trial IS confirmed
by Howe's Historical Collections, and il
undoubtedly true. The women of the
Wyandottes were good housekeepers,
and Jim says "some of the girls were
mighty pretty and as good looking as
any of the white girls. They were
chaste and domestically inclined and
were married by the preacher of the
tribe, according to our own religious
services"
Jim has been married twice. He had
three children by the first marriage
one of whom was killed in the civil
war, and Jim draws a pension from the
government on account of the loss OF
this son. His last wife has been dead

prominent position on the center table,
and every Sunday he attends church.
His neighbors hold him in high esteem,

years ago he gave up tobacco, which
he had used since he was sixteen years
old.

the bureau is well deserved, for he has

was the chronological editor of the

of Economic Entomologists. He has
been an active member in many scien-

now the secretary of the Cosmos club of

popular members of that body, which

some kleptQmaniac pocketing goods for
which he or she had not paid. Miss
AleXander's exploits just before and
during the recent holiday season earned
her a wide reputation. and she is now
known from one end Of the country to
the other as the most successful female
thief-catcher in the country. Indeed,
her success was so great that the gen.
illness of her captures was brought into
question, and once the charge was
made that she exercised a hypnotic
influence over women which impelled
the latter to steal. But Miss AleXan-
der was not disturbed by these accusa-
tions. She let her captives vindicate
her by their confessions, and she went
right on catching thieves with the same
regularity and precision that marked
her first bound into public notOriety.
The success that has attended Miss AL
exander's entrance into field which has
heretofore been monOpolized by men
has induced many dry goods firms to
emulate the example of the Broadway
house by the employment of women to
look out for the safety of their goods.
The field is a wide one, and Miss Alex
ander may be said to be a pioneer in it.

THE LAST WYANDOTTE.
Sole Survivor Of a Once Numerous
Indian Tribe.
He Lives in North Fairfield, o., Where He
Is Known to Everybody as "Uncle
Jim He Tells Some Inter
esting Stories.

North Fairfield, O., claims to have as
resident the last living member of
the once powerful Wyandotte tribe of
Indians. His name is James Williams,
and he has a somewhat remarkable
history. "Uncle jim" as he is called
by his friends, in all probability is an
octogenarian, while those who have
known him the longest insist that he
has passed the four score and ten
mark. He was adopted by the tribe
when he was nine months old, during
the big war" as he was told by his
foster mother, which was probably the
war of 1872, and remained with them
until he was nineteen years old. His
looks, however, do not show his age,
and he is still able to do a days work
equaled by few of the young men of
his neighborhOod. He has good
memory and tells many interesting an
ecdotes of the time when he lived with
the Wyandottes.
This tribe numbered then. he says,
between 600 and zoo, and were civilized
and industrious. They owned and
operated their farms on the Upper San
duslIy and were thrifty. and, as a rule,
their habits were good. Next to this
tribe he classes the Delawares, who
were small in numbers and lived be-
tween Upper SandusHy and Bucyrus.
The Senecas did not have the good
qualities of the Wyandottes, and were
more savage, but were better than the
OttaWaS, who lived farther north, and
were eta rowing, shiftless disposition.
The Wyandottes, in addition TO being
good farmers, were the best of hunters,
and would wander away into western
Indiana after game, leaving in the fall,
staying all winter, and returning in
time to attend to their spring work
with their pack horses loaded down
with venison and furs of various kinds.
Beavers and offers were captured in
the rivers and deer and bear shot in the
forests, Game was plentiful, and Jim
