According TO the last census statistics, the

The Indian lands at Salamanca are, in the

THE SENECA INDIANS.

They are Civilized, Industrious, and Moral.
Harriet Maxwell Converse, who is Chief of
the Senecas, and whose Indian name is va
ie-wa-go, writes TO the New York Sun:
:" The feast is sight for an epicure. In
the center of the hall are placed four large
caldr0ns filled with choice Indian delieacies.
One of these contains cooked dog meat, for
which the latest dogs on the reservation
have been sacrificed. The fourth kettle is
filled with curious mixture of vegetables
favored with single taste Of the dog meat. !"
As friend, sister, and chief of the Iroquois
Indians, | must enter protest against this
record. The Seneca Indians have never eaten
dog meat, nor has it been used by them in
any manner save in the celebration of their
New Year festival In the old times" as
the type of a faithful friend, a white dog was
mercifully put to death, and religiously
burned Us a sacrifice to the great Spirit. This
national eucharistic symbol has existed
among all peoples, as in the religious offer
ings of the OK, goat, lamb, etc. The Iroquois
Indians have never sacrificed human life in
any of their religious observances.

the case of Command Nicoll Ludlow by taking
the ground that the officer is not entitled to ad-
vancement The result of this action would be
to retain the Commander Mt the top OF the
grade while those below would pass over hlm.
The whole trouble Was caused by nnsubstan-
tiaied charges made years ago by Ludlow
against Lieutenant Commander Sperry, which
nearly cost the latter his privilege of advance

tion this Summer Spcrry retalinted upon him.
Commander Ludlow will, by the promotion of

blood, and can be cured BY eliminating
these impurities. That most dreadful Of
all diseases, consumption, is a disease Of
the blood. The disease shows in the lungs
because of some inherited or acquired weak
ness there If the blood were always pure
and without germs, the disease would never
develop and in time weakness itself would
be overcome. Germs and impurities in the
blood float along through the body until
they find weak spot for Judgement They
stick there and develop and people call the
disease by the name of the organ afflicted.
AS a matter of fact, the disease is always q
disease of the blood, and If the blood be
purified, the disease will be cured. That Is
a perfectly natural, rational conclusion, en-
dorsed- both by common sense and the
highest medical authority. II is IN accord
ance with these facts that DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery works. The
first thing it does is to put the whole diges-
tive system into perfect order. 1t stirnu-
fates the appetite, excites the copious secre-
ton of the digestive fluids and promotes
assimilation. 1t searches out disease germs
wherever they may be, kills them and forces
them out of the system. The Golden

unvarying success for over 90 years.
