baron. He was born in 1886 and mar
ried Blanche, the second daughter of

come temporarily vacant, a new CHIEF
will occupy it and the tribe with its
foundation of industry shall go on for
ever.
This unique monument, complete,
with stone base under the beaver
when set up, will have total height
of nine feet. The beaver on which the
shaft rests is three and one-half feet
long; the shaft of the eyrie is five feet
in height. The eagle in the crouching
attitude of flying away from the nest
is fifty-two inches from tip to tip, and
thirty-six inches from bill to tail. The
general effect of the whole monument,
though considerably modernized by the
skill of Mr.. Thompson, yet possesses
many of the characteristics peculiar to
the Alaska Indians.
The Indian tribe, of which old Kah-
shakes is the chief, is at Cape Fox, near
New Metlakahtia, and comprises about
1000 of the best and the most intelli-
gent of all the Indians that make up
Duncan's missionary post in Alaska.
The Indians at Cape Fox are remnants
of the ancient Chilkats.
In character these Indians are q
strange OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, mo-
rose, unsympathetic, superstitious,
without the slightest idea of gratitude,
and having an astonishing respect for
the property of others. When on a
trading journey, or out hunting, they
will leave their belongings hanging on
bushes all along the trail; and snow
shoes, sometimes musket, blankets, a
leg of smoked bear, dried salmon,
are frequently noticed along an Indian
path.
These Indians in the old days dressed
in skins, and had garments pictur-
esquely fringed and tasseled, and
beaded and woven in with stained
swanquills. They wore bracelets OF
copper and carried copper spears,
knives and arrows. In those days no
ceremony was complete unless attended
bv human sacrifice; execution of slaves
was of frequent occurrence, for super
stitious belief deemed disaster and i'll
ness the doing of angry spirits, only to
be appeased by the shedding OF human
blood. To-day they remain single re-
hinder of their past greatness and
power.

tered parliament in 1865 for Warwick,
and has represented that borough since
then. After the dissolution of 1885 he
was proposed as speaker by Lord Ran
dolph Churchill, and seconded by Mr..
Gladstone. Mr.. Peel is accounted the
strongest speaker since the late Lord
Eversley. He had remarkable con-
troll over the house, and restored order
In many of the turbulent debates of re-
cent years. The salary of the speaker
is twenty-five thousand dollars annual
~, with an official residence, and the
post is considered, one of high social as
well as political distinction. Mr.. Peel
has been offered a peerage. 1t viii be
remembered that this honor was de-
clined by his father, who also left the
expression of his wish that neither his
widow nor his heir should accept any
such distinction.

OLD CHIEF KAHsHAKES.
A Costly Monument to Be Erected
to HE Memory.
u - the Old Indians cwn idea and WIN
Cost n Thousand Dollars To Be Of
Unique Design. Cut from
Vermont Marble.

The erection of a costly monument
IN memory of an American indian Is
an odd thing, but when the particular
Indian to be thus remembered Is still
alive, IL make the matter all the more
unique.
A marble monument will soon adorn
the last resting place of Indian Chief
Kahshakes at Cape Fox, In Alaska,
typifying the tribe and its chief Chief
Kahshakes is still alive, and though a
very old man is not likely, by reason
of good health, to be memorialized by
the creation of his own fancies. The
chief has had this object in view for
many years, and saved for that purpose.
He designed the monument, had one of
his own men carve out a two-foot model
covering his allegorical creation, and
then sent the model to well-known
sculptor, Mr.. A. c. Thompson, who has
completed the work
The monument, which cost Chief
Kahshakes over $1,000 is of pure white
Vermont marble, and although the
sculptor was constrained to follow the
design as regards an uncouth figure of
OCdNcr, lie 6ucCt6ueu III giving W LILO
shaft, the eyrie and the eagle an artistic
touch that reflects great credit on his
ability as sculptor, and which will no
doubt greatly please the old chief when
he sees it. The chiefs idea of his monu-
ment was pillar resting on the back
of beaver, with an eagle on its nest,
surmounting the column.
Kahshakes' monument is an allegori-
cal representation of himself and his
tribe. The beaver symbolizes indus
try, the characteristic of the tribe; the
shaft the tribe itself, planted firmly on
the rock of industry; the eyrie is the
chiefs home, supported and protected
by the tribe, and the eagle about to
take his last fight represents Kabsha-
kes az his death winging his way to-
ward the setting sun to join his fore
fathers in the happy hunting-grounds
of the spirit land. This allegory, still
further carried out by the rude poetic
mind of the untutored Indian, is to the
effect that though the nest shall be-

ployed by the Florida Land & Lum-

of such corner marks. The ak sep

the following explanatory letter with

THE PAINS OF RHEUMATISM

According to the best authorities,
originate in morbid condition OF
the blood. Tactic acid, caused by
the decomposition of the gelatinous
and albuminous tissues, circulates
with the blood and attacks the
fibrous tissues, particularly in the
joints, and thus causes the local
manifestations of the disease. The
back and shoulders are the parts
usually affected BY rheumatism, and
the joints at the knees, ankles, hips
and wrists are also sometimes at
tackled. Thousands of people have
found in Hoods Sarsaparilla posi-,
tive and permanent cure for rheuma
tism. 1t has mad remarkable sue
cess in curing the most severe cases.
The secret Of its success lies in the
fact that it attacks at once the
cause of the disease by neutralizing
the Tactic acid and purifying the
blood ,as well as strengthening every
function Of the body.
