HER PINK AND WHITE PARTY.
Little Miss Sutherland Entertains Large
Number of Friends

Number or Friends.
A pink and white birthday party was
given yesterday afternoon by Mr.. and
Mrs. j. II. Sutherland at their home,
61S Washington avenue, for their
daughter, Mabel May Sutherland. 1t
was the fourth anniversary of her birth
and the event was celebrated by about
twenty masters and misses between
and 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Moth
ing was lacking in the exquisite taste
of the floral and table decorations and
other details necessary to carry out the
pink and white idea.
Mrs. Sutherland was assisted in re-
ceiving and entertaining the little ones
by Miss KEEPER of Washington avenue,
and Mrs. Charles Guidott. The house
was arranged with autumn leaves,
palms, evergreens and pink and white
chrysanthemums. Two large refresh
ment tables located in the reception
room and parlor contained birthday
cakes with pink and white frosting,
and candles, individual bouquets, paper
napkins and plates colored pink and
white. The four candles lighting the
birthday cake and the many dainty re-
freshments included as far as posi-
BILE the baby color idea. Even the lit
tie hostess was attired in a frock Of
these colors.
The guests included Miss Mabel's kin
dergarten and other friends as follows:
Helen Gates, Colonel and Sidney Yer
noy, Marguerite and Samuel Barker,
Nanny Frazer, Helen Miller, Carrie
Koch, Mildred Rice, Katharine and
Carl Schadt. Kate Davis, Laura and
Arthur Schimpff. Marion Gross,

THOMPSON IN NEW YORK.
His Bondsman, ]. G. Reese, Very Anxious
for His Return.

An echo to the suspended publication
of the Scranton Evening Free Lance
appears in the flight of Benjamin f.
Thompson and the anxiety Of his
bondsman, ]. G. Reese, who will lose
$500 If Thompson is not captured.
Thompson was arrested Saturday
evening on a warrant issued by Alder
man Wright on complaint of Walters
G. Co., who did the printing for the
Free Lance publishers. The firm
charged Thompson, its manager, with
obtaining money under false pretenses
and appropriating to his own use funds
due the Free Lance which were ordered
paid to Walters & Co. Alderman Wright
at Thompson's request continued Satur-
day nights hearing until yesterday
morning after accepting bail for
Thompsons appearance furnished by
Mr.. Reese In the sum of $500.
Thompson did not materlaize at the
appointed hour yesterday, and later in
the day 1t was learned by telegraph
that he is in New York. The prosecu-
tors refused to release Mr., Reese from
his bond save on the condition that he
would make good his friends pecula-
tions. AS it would cost more to do this
than to bear the expense of re-arresting
Thompson in New York, the bondsman
chose the latter method, and hopes to
have Thompson under arrest at an
early hour this morning.

The SURFACE IS sinking
Cave-in That Began in an Old Plane
in the Won StOrch Mine.
HOUSES THAT WERE INJURED
The Ground Is Still Settling Somewhat but
1t Is Believed That the Greatest
Damage Has Already
Been Done.

A settling of the earth in the neigh
borhood of the Highworks and the
Brisbin breaker at Providence is Great
ing much uneasiness among the resi-
dents of that portion of the city.
Early Sunday morning the roof of
what is known as the "old No. 2 plane
of the Won Storch mines" began to fall
and the result of the fall soon became
noticeable on the surface.
There are three veins in the Won
Storch mine, the Diamond Fourteen
foot and the Clark, which lie in the
order named beneath the surface.
1t is supposed that the fall started in
the Fourteen foot, or middle vein.
The plane leads from it and has been
abandoned for a number of years and
the timbering becoming decayed was
no longer able to sustain the weight of
the rock above and succumbed.
The fall quickly spread to plane No.
3 and to the Brisbin and Cayuga work.
ings, which are connected with the Won
Storch.
Protecting Cayuga Workings.
Men employed in the Cayuga mine
heard the rumbling and knew that a
fall was in progress and at once began
to put up props and throw collars
across the points where they feared
the cave would invade that mine.
This prompt action saved the Cayuga
from any great injury, but there was
sufficient caving in both the Cayuga
and Brisbin to throw number of men
out of employment yesterday.
The greatest disturbance to the sur
face is noticeable near the Back road,
but about Stanton and Fulton streets
and vicinage there is also direct evil
dence of the havoc that was being
wrought in the bowels of the earth.
The properties of Patrick and John
Mulhern and Edward Corrigan, on
Ruane street, and Mrs. Mary Martin.
on Back road, have been damaged by
the settling of the earth. The build
ings have sunk and cracked, while
doors and windows refuse to open or
close.
Water pipes have burst and the wells
in the affected districts are dry. The
water has all leaked out of a reservoir
on the West mountain.
Although the ground is still settling
somewhat, it is thought that the great
est damage has been done.

you will need all of 1t for the advance

SOME time. Through the Chinook we learned
that the boys name was Klakit; that he was
the son of the Flathead chief, and that he had
zone mother and no end of brothers and
sisters.
At this point a little circular tin-backed
looking-glass won Klakit to US at once; he
suspended the article about his neck, and
looked as if he thought himself no end of q
dandy.
When about a mile further on we came
within sight of the wigwams-and very pretty
they looked under the trees, with the ponies
grazing about. Klakit ran ahead to apprise
the people of the coming of the white men,
and no doubt to excite the mingled admira-
ton and envy of his companions by showing
the looldng-glass.
The chief, a tall man, greeted US kindly,
and other men and swarms of wondering
women and naked, big-eyed children 1ocked
about US. had seen many Indians before,
but never people with long, fiat heads like
these. had not read about this people at
the time SO that supposed the shape of the
head was natural, but soon discovered my
mistake.
All about me I saw many little ones with
their heads being fattened. AS soon as a
child is born it is fastened to a stiff board
cradle or crib, at the top of which there is a
hinged piece of board that presses down on
the head. This pressure is kept up till the
bones of the skull are set and the head is per-
manently distorted.
Psychologists would say that this barbar-
Gus process that makes the head twice as
broad as it would be naturally must affect
the mind, yet the Flathead Indians are among
the brightest and gentlest, as well as the
bravest in the mountains.
We were given wigwam to ourselves, and
by reason of his having brought US in Kla-
kit was made our host. That night he
cooked the trout for u.s. broiling them in the
most delicious way, and this, with dried
meat, wild berries and a sort of bread made
of acorns afforded a meal that a king would
have reveled in if he had been blessed with
the appetite of myself and Doc.
In honor of our arrival the Indians gave US
what they called ga fish dance" that night,
and in this women and children took part. I
may add that some of the women carried
their babies strapped to their backs, while
others left the little ones hanging like strange
fruit from the branches of trees, where they
were rocked to sleep by the wind. The NOV
ing, swinging swimming figures about the
fire, with their rafting gourds for music and
high pitched voices, I shall never forget.

daintily to her mammals carriage looking like
a beautiful miniature woman. Long golden
curls hung down from under a broad
brimmed black straw hat, trimmed elabor-
ately with black plumes and faring satin
bows. On her tiny body was a long Greenaway
coat of black satin, surmounted by tiny
cape, edged with heavy cream colored lace
fully twelve inches in width. grey kid gloves
were on her little hands and patent leather
shoes on her dainty little feet. AS she smil-
ingly thanked me for uncatching the lace of
her coat from the latch of the door I could
not help wishing the dear little lady was all
my own.
Chidren's shoes differ but little from those
of previous seasons. They come for dress in
cloth tops and patent leather vamps, light
and dark tan leather, and low shoes, both
light and dark. A grey cloth top with patent
leather vamp is very pretty. Low ties will
be worn more this summer than formerly,
and the red and brown shoes to match cos

folks.

We stayed a week with the Flatheads,
watching the women sewing buckskin clothes
with sinews for threads, the men gambling
by pitching sort of dice, and the boys prac-
ticing with their arrows or netting trout in
the streams.
When we left the Flatheads supplied us with
enough provisions to last us to Vancouver,
and our host, Klakit, accompanied by score
or more youths with equally fat heads, but
not equally bright faces, saw us safely to the
trail that led down to the homes of the white

blue smoke pillars that marked the site Of
the Indian camp.
We had gone about two miles and were
crossing beautiful clear mountain stream
when to our surprise little copper-colored
figure started up from the bushes. 1t was
that of an Indian lad Of - or IA. 1t was
summer time, and the only clothing he wore
was a strip of fringed buckskin about his
waist and a chaplet of gay feathers, inter-
mingled with wild flowers, about his head.
Over his left shoulder hung a puma skin
culver, from which protruded a bow and the
feathered ends IF a number of arrows. In
his left hand he carried a snare, loop of
horse hair fastened to the end of pole, and
in his right hand string of the most mag
nificent trout that ever gladdened the sight
of an angler.
The boy, if surprised, did not show it in
his face or manner, but stood looking at US
with pleased light in his black eyes. But
what surprised me most was the shape of his
head. From above the eyes it ran away to
point at the back, giving him the appearance
of having on 4 small bonnet covered with long
black hair.
