Maine Indians.

Names two Indian tribes, the Pc
nobscots and the Passamauuaddvs,
wear the dress of the whites and for
the most part have adopted their ways
Of living. But the nomadic spirit is
still strong within them. and the sum
mer finds parties camped at the vari-
GUS Maine watering places making
and selling beaded purses and woven
grass and basket work trinkets, while
the squaws turn many a silver piece
by telling fortunes. In some wood
lot, where the ash tree that supplies
them with working material is plenti-
full, they sometimes build their camps
of logs and saplings, rooted with bark
or shingles and we'll climbed with
moss. There is a feeling among own
ers of forest lands in Maine that the
Indians, as first proprietors, have a
claim to reside in the wilderness
wherever they choose, and, as they
are peaceable and do little damage to
valuable forest growth, permission to
occupy a piece of woodland is seldom
refused them.

leading roles with Charles Thorne at the
Variety theater in New Orleans. Early in
the Centennial year, in Louisville, Norton
met our Mary Anderson, then a fair young
girl who aspired for stage fame, took her
under his guidance and, as everybody
knows, led her to fame. Mr.. Norton IS now
the proprietor Of the Grand Opera House in
burg, and one Of the stockholders in the
American Extravaganza Company.
One afternoon early in June he hobbled
into his New York Office on Broadway and
encountered his business manager, George
McManus, who had also been a rheumatic
sufferer TOR two years. Norton was sur

cane. "sWho cured you?" he asked. Toured

TOPEKA. Kan, August 22.-Ths date
for the sale of the Santa Fe railroad will
be fixed next week in Topeka. Judge H.
9. Caldwell will come to Topeka for the
purpose of making the decree for this sale.
When the schedule Of the indebtedness
of the company has been made. it will be
known what is the lowest figure at which
the road may be sold- The whole pro.
ceeding is simply matter OF form, and
the sale will be nothing more, for there
will be 40 other bidders but the reorgan.
ization committee. 1t is certain that the
sale will not be made before No-embsr
1st. The sale must be advertised for
thirty days. and then there must be an
interval ofsthirty days before the sale.
Receiver Aldace Walker of the Santa Fe
has returned from: :his trip to Albuquerque
to contest the separate receivershlp suits
of the Atlantic and Pacific. Said he:
Probably within "a fortnight decree
for the sale of the Santa Fe will be asked.
There Is no apparent reason why the de-
cree should not be granted, and the sale
will probably be ordered within sixty or
ninety days. A new company will be
organized to take the road and operate it.
The directors have not been elected, but
that can be done at any time. Under the
plan of reorf anizaiSlon, the securities on
which interes. must be paid have been
scaled down about l50 per cent. This will
put the road in an extremely strong posi-
tion financially. There IS every reason
to believe that the earnings will be large
enough to satisfy all interests. There
has been no definite talk that l know of
regarding the election OF officers. That
is matter for the directors. The physi.
cal condition of the road is better than it
ever was in it's history.
The Atlantic and Pacific suit was dc
cided in favor of the Santa Fe. OF course
it can bring another action for the ap-
pointment Of separate receivers. but 1t is
probable it will not. Each road will find
greater proht in maintaining the present
friendly relations. Especially is this 50
in view of the present certainty of goosd!
il the earning OF the road for the.,nexs
year is the largest IN its history. With
iron and stone bridges taking the places
of wooden ones and new rails wherever
needed, the road is in shape to be oper.
ated more economically than everj be.

The ChInaman had been acting queerly
all the afternoon. He had exhibited q
pistol and threatened to shoot one of the
young ladies in the house. There being
no men about the place, Mr.. Erskine,
whose farm adioins that Of the Kings,
was sent for to try and pacify Lung
Yuen. and upon arriving at the King
place he was ediately attacked by the
enfaged Chinese, who fired five shots al
him at close range. But one shot took
effect, producing bad wound in the
left arm. Erskine turned to fee, but was
seized by his would-be murderer and in
the presence of numb Der OF ladies was
thrown to the ground and beaten terribly
about the head with the pistol. The ex
tent of his injuries is not known.
