THE LITTLE WIVES OF INDIA.
Treatment That the American New
Woman Would Not Stand.


From the Boston Home Journal.
On the day of her marriage the East
Indian girl is placed in palanquin, shut
up tight and carried to her husbands
house. Hitherto she has been the spoiled
pet of her MOTHER now she has to be the
little slave of her. mother-in-law, upon
whom she is to wait, whose commands
she is implicitly to obey, and who teaches
her what she is to do to please her hus-
band-what dishes he likes best, and how
to cook them.
If the mother-in-Iaw is kind, she will
let the girl go home occasionally to visit
her mother OF her husband she sees lit
tie or nothing. She is of no more account
to him than a little cat or dog would be.
There is seldom or never any love be-
tween them, and no matter how cruelty
she may be treated, she can never COM
plain to her husband of anything his
mother may do, for he would never take
his wife's part.
Her husband sends to her daily the por-
ton of food that is to be cooked for her,
himself, and the children. When it is
prepared she places it on a large brass
platter and it is sent to her husbands
room. He eats what he wishes, and then
the platter is sent back with what is
left for her and her children. They sit
together on the ground and eat the re-
mainder, having neither knives, forks
nor spoons.
While she is young she is never allow
ed to go anywhere. The little girls are
married as young as three years of age
and should the boy to whom such a child
is married die the next day. she is called
a widow, and is from henceforth doomed
to perpetual widowhood; she can never
marry again. AS widow she must new
er wear any jewelry, never dress her hair,
never sleep on bed-nothing but a piece
of mating spread on a hard brick floor
and sometimes, in fact, not even that be-
tween her and the cold bricks; and no
matter how cold the night might be, she
must have no other covering than the
thin garment she has worn in the day.
She must eat but one meal day, and
that of the coarsets kind of food, and
once in two weeks she must fast twenty
four hours; then not a bit of food nor
drop of water OF medicine must pass her
lips, not even If she were dying She
must never sit down or speak in the pres
ence of her mother-in-law, unless COM
manded to do So Her food must be
cooked and eaten apart from other wo-
mems. She is a disgraced and degraded
woman. She may never even look on at
any of the marriage ceremonies or festi-
walls. 1t would be an evil omen for her 70
do so.
She may have been a high caste Brah-
mimic woman, but on her becoming a
widow. any, even the lowest. servants
may order her TO do what they do not like
70 do. No woman IN the house must ever
speak one word Of love or pity 70 her. for

slightest COMMUNICATION 70 q widow she

Among the Yakima Indians.

Rumors have been in circulation re-
garding trouble on the reservation be-
tween the officials and the Indians. The
story as The HERALD learns it is that
during Agent Erwin's absence in the east
two Indian boys ran away with a team
horses. They were captured and so Sc
verely whipped by Superintendent Glen
denning that the Indians were very much
incensed and, when Agent Erwin re-
turned from Washington, they held a
council and demanded that Clendenning
be sent away. Mr.. Erwin said that it
could not be done, as the superintendent
was the appointee Of the commissioner of
Indian affairs. About this time Inspector
Mccormick put in an appearance, and
again the Indians went into council that
lasted week, coming to the conclusion
that unless Cendenning was dismissed
the agent, inspector, superintendent and
all the white employees would be sent
away. Whether this was to be done by
force or through application TO Washing
ton, THE HERALD failed to learn; neither
does it know what, if any, assurances
were made by the agent-but the Indians
seem satisfied and harmony apparently
reigns again.
A son of Sore eyed Susan is quite sick

Zillah, and his relatives and friends are
making the neighborhood resound with
tom-toms in an effort to drive off the evil
spirits.

pleaded guilty to the charge and was

The condemnation suit for right of way,
instituted by the Horn Rapids Irrigation
company against the Yakima Irrigating
& Improvement company, came on for
hearing; and damages in the sum Of $4,000
for the latter company resulted. 1t is
understood that the case will be appealed,
the defendant company holding its dam
ages at s22 900 and the plaintiff at con-
sderably less than the amount awarded.
America Glidden asked for a divorce
from her husband, William w. Glidden,
alleging cruel treatment, abuse, etc. 1t
appeared in the hearing that plaintiff
had been unceremonlously electeo from
her home. Judge Graves denied the pc
tition, stating that he was opposed to the

in marriage contract annulment. II,
after a year had elapsed, plaintiff and
the defendant husband had not adjusted

might be obtained-but not before such
time.

be much greater than last and higher
prices will be received for the spuds.

TEE CLINTON.

The agents of the Morgan
line steamship Clinton state
there was nothing unusual in
that vessels putting to sea dur
ing the late norther from Brazos
Santiago. The vessel had land
ed her passengers and was dis
charging her cargo when the
norther blew up. \ north wind
always generates a heavy sea
off Brazos Santiago, and vessels
lying there under such circum-
stances always put to sea. The
Clinton had OIL board about
twenty-five Mexican laborers
which had been employed in
discharging her cargo, and the
extra crew necessitated her
shipping extra stores when the
vessel arrived at Galveston for
a harbor. She will come up to
her dock ship more coal, aud
leave on her return to Brazos as
soon as the norther abates. The
agents deny that the vessel was
in distress, as heretofore report
ed, claiming there was nothing
unusual in her return to this
port under the prevailing CON
dition of the weather. There
are no lighters at Brazos San
tiago, and cargo has to be dis
charged in small boats, an i'm
possible undertaking in rough
weather in the open sea.-Gal-
