Exhibition of students' work Held In
the Building--A Fine Exhibit.

A CHRONICLE reporter visited st.
Mary's Academy this afternoon to see
the exhibit of the students work for the
past year. The well-arranged building
was devoted to specimens of skill in the
different branches of knowledge. In the
two large rooms on the right of the hall
was placed the work that had been
chosen to go on exhibition as the best.
Long tables, covered with neatly-writ-
ten examination papers, told of atten-
tive, industrious scholars and hours of
study. On the walls were hung paint
ing in oil and water colors that bore evil
dence of much skill on the part of the
artist. Some delicate samples of needle
work attracted much attention from the
spectators.
One of the most interesting portion of
the exhibit was the work done by the
boys of st. Joseph's school-little lads
Ranging 8 to IL years of age. The speci-
mems were all very creditable, and
showed talent that would have done
credit to persons of maturer age. The
boys had been given subjects upon
which they were to write compositions /;
but, unlike most compositions, the SUBJ
jects were required to be illustrated.
The reporter recognized a well-drawn
likeness of Father Bronsgeest, executed
by a lad of eleven years. A picture of
Pope Plus TX was also very creditable
to the young artists. Some of the COM
positions were written on such subjects
as the new cruisers of our government,
and on each paper was drawn picture
of the particular subject about which the
paper was written.
Among the exhibits particularly no.
ticed were crayon of two dogs heads,
by Miss Katie Quaid and some drawn
fancywork by Miss Cassie Thorbourn.
The pictures in oil by Mrs. Baldwin in
cluded the Cascade in Alps, ''The
Three Sisters and several other very
pretty paintaings. Miss Downing from
Condor, Gillian county, had picture
of Castle Rock and one also of Mt
| Adams, which showed much skill and
training on the part of the young artist
Upon table were some carefully pre-
pared Herbariums by Alma Schanno
Agnes LeDuc, Cassie Thorbourn anC
Ada Smith. The flowers were arranged
! with much taste. Especially fine were
the botanical specimens. Over one hun
dred and thirty had been prepared, bu
the limited room allowed only small
number to be shown. The diteren
pieces will be taken to Montreal, Canada
for exhibition as soon as the commence
ment exercises are over.
The examination papers in all th,
different subjects which the students ar
taught, were placed on exhibition
They were wonderfully neat. One thini
that especially commended itself was tn
requiring of the different subjects to b
illustrated. In physiology one of tn
questions was upon the structure of tn
ear and on each paper was drawn pic
Ture of the ear, showing on the part o
the students perfect comprehension o

The canal at the Cascades is now full
Of water. When the river begins to fall
the fishermen may get big haul of
salmon within the gates.
The upper river is falling quite rapid

There is some talk of the Third regi-

Nothing has been definitely settled how

THE INDIAN POLICY.

Breaking Up of Tribal Relations the Ulti-
mate Solution of the Indian Problem.
WASHINGTON, May 18.-The policy of
the administration regarding the In
dams indicated in the presidents letter
to the Dawes commission is not to
hasten the contamination of citizenship
by the Indians until they are ready to
exercise properly and intelligently it's
rights. This is due to the interest
taken by the president and Secretary
Smith in the welfare of these wards of
the nation, and the fear that those
who have not yet attained sufficient
degree of civilization and intelligence
to protect tn emselves would be merci-
lessly cheated out of their possessions
by shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS white
men.
The ultimate solution of the Indian
problem, the president believes, lies in
the breaking up of the existing tribal
relations and the allotment of the In
dian lands to Individual owners, to-
gether with an assumption of citizen
ship by all the Indians. But this can
only be accomplished gradually.

RACE TROUBLES.

Another Outbreak Occurs Between the
White and CoIored Cotton Handlers at
New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, May 18.-Another out
break between white and colored cot
ton handlers on the levee occurred yes
terday at Gretna about IL o'clock. Sew
eral gangs of negro longshoremen APP
peared on the Gretna wharf prepared
to load the steamship Orion with cot
ton. For several days past there have
been indications of another clash be-
tween the races at that point, and yes
terday small crowds of white men
gathered around the ship just as the
colored workmen arrived. The latter
insisted that their foreman, Dick
Smother, should secure them protec-
ton before they would proceed to
work. He started to cross the wharf
to telephone to the agents of the yes
sci, when the whites opened fire. A
dozen or more shots were fred, and
Smothers fell with bullet in the leg.
He contrived to crawl to the ferry
house, where he crossed over to the
city and received treatment. The
other negroes on the Orion immedi-
ately sought places of hiding from the
mob, and their complete disappearance
from the scene prevented further

No Trimming Of Snakes.

One cannot train or teach snake to
do anything whatever; their brain
power is so limited that the marvel is
how they have ever managed to survive
in the great competition, especially
when one finds that they are still on
the ascending curve" Of evolution.
Most of them can be tanned to some eX-
tent by constant human companion
ship and judicious handling Some
species very much more readily than
others; when they have learned to
trust, to appreciate the fact that there
is no necessity for self-defense, then
they may be trusted, principle which
applies to most animals; and there the
scope and possibility of their education
comes to an end. After that the most
that slzillful exhibitor can do with
them is to adapt himself and his ac-
tons to their movements, which by
familiarity he can pretty nearly antic-
ipate, SO that these may appear pur-
posive and intelligent. He may affect
to listen to the serpent's counsels, or
receive its kiss on his lips if its head in
clines in an upward direction, or to
guide it to some given spot, should it
by chance glide horizontally or down
ward; just as the Indian snake-charmer
takes deceptive advantage of the natu-
raj defiant attitude of the well-nigh I'M
tamable cobra de capello. Cham bers'

LESS THAN ONE ROUND.

Peter Maher Beat the Englishman, Mar

CoNEY ISLAND, N. Y, May 21.-Last
night the Seabeach palace presented
an animated appearance. The lovers
of boxing had no reason to complain,
as the card provided was very excel
lent one. Among those present was
Champion Corbett The principal bout
was that between Peter Maher,
the Irish champion, and the repre-
sentative of England, Bob Marshall.
It was announced that Paddy Ryan
would challenge the winner. AS soon
as the men stripped and shook hands,
Marshall was seen to be extremely fat.
Maher went at him like cyclone and
rained right and left hand blows on
his head and jaw. The Briton
went to his knees four times and
then went down and rolled over
on his back. Referee Eckhardt
saved him from a knockout by stop
ping the bout in the first round at the
end of forty-fve seconds. Maher tried
to go on despite the referee, who re-
strained him from giving one more
punch to the big fellow, who had re-
gained his feet. Maher was declared
the winner and the crowd went wild

whv He Wanted the KISS.

An amusing incident occurred the
other evening at the home of one of
Brooklyn's well-known citizens. It
was at the dinner table and the family
had been waiting for some time for the
arrival of the head of the house. The
father was unusually late, and when
NE entered the dining room he made
the round of the table, kissing the up
turned faces of the little ones. Every
thing went we'll until he reached his
six-year-old son, precocious lad. The
father had kissed him and was about
to take his seat at the head of the
table when he was surprised at re-
quest from the boy for second kiss.
The parent fastened to comply, and
was stunned by the boy exelaiming:
-'Say, papa, what place did you stop in
at on the way home? like it." The
boy was commanded to be silent, but
later in the evening the husband adj
Eitted to his wife that he had met a
friend and-weu, you know how it
goes. The boy will need watching as
he grows up.-N. Y. Press
