derstands the appellation. In point OF
fact, however, nine out of ten people in
the states are at n loss TO know whether
it means a bushman, a boatman, a guide
or Il trailer-for it might mean either of
these. In reality the word implies
either, according as used, but means
neither.
The Bovianders of Guiana are a dis
tinct race of ~half-breeds, descended
from the intermarriage of the original
Dutch colonists with the Indian women
of former generations. There are also
black Bovianders, descended from the
intermarriage of Indian braves with
runaway slave women, who fled to the
wilderness IN the days of slavery; but
these are not nearly SO numerous as the
white class, by whom they are looked
down on These people inhabit the wide
and indefinite region now known as the
disputed territory, lying between The
Orinoco and Essequibo, and maintain
the freest relations with the native In
dians on one side and the negroes of the
British colony on the other. They are
spread over the whole country, but
their chief settlements are nearer to The
English than the Venezuelan side.
In color the Bovianders of Dutch ex-
traction are a light brown-yellow,
somewhat fairer than mulattoes, ard
with the European cast of features faI
more strongly developed. They are
well formed, and, for the most part,
handsome. The black class are of q
dirty reddish black, fiat featured and
ugly. lii habit and manner, the white
is tidy, clean, pleasant and attractive;
the black s%lovenly, foul. sycophantic
and repulsive. Their language is Eng
idioms and variations as to be a sort OF
Nolapuk.
The customs of the Boviander, like
his language, are an admiNture OF prim-
tive savagery and civilization. In him
socially as well as ethnologically the
European and the native Indian meet;
and it is often difficult to tell where the
one ends and the other begins. Former
ly the Bovianders lived their peculiar
life pretty much to themselves, being
but infrequently disturbed by wander
ing explorers. With the opening up of
their country consequent upon The dis
covery of gold, they have been brought
more into immediate touch with civ
ilization, and the dozen OIL so of years
that have elapsed have wrought quite
an interesting change.
Let us visit the Boviander and have a
passing glimpse of him in his horne be-
yond the first line of the cataracts-
which forms the natural boundary be-
tween the colony proper and its back
woods. What we wish to see is how he
combines his inheritance of primitive
customs with the new ideas Of civilized
life that he has imbibed. and nothing

Bunting was to proyideNs with boat
men to go up the river; but on arriving
at his settlement a delay occurred.
Chloe, his daughter, was to be married,
and all outstanding engagements must
await the event. Now Bunting was
a Boviander, and the groom elect was
a white man of local celebrity, u Mr..
Gordon, of Glasgow. Apart from it's
annoyance the incident was a very in
.~teresting affair We were fortunate
to be in the nick of time to witness a
full dress (wedding dress) rehearsal,
too. AS we approached the Bunting
homestead Miss Chloe emerged onto
the balcony radiant in the best urvto-
date wedding costume, fresh from the
Georgetown milliners. She was j 3all,
slender and very pretty girl, and APP
peared in sharp contrast with her pres
snt surroundings. AS she came forth

To refresh the face when tired and
weary after a days outing or travelling,
j. is a mistake to plunge the face into
cold water, which really acts as an irri-
tant, whereas tepid water produces
quite a contrary effect. After washing
off the dust on face and ears, a little
buttermilk, or, failing that, rose-water,
dabbed on will heal and whiten the
skin and take away all feeling of irri.

to exhibit herself there was q rush Of
Bovianders, Indians and negroes.
What a TODD there was! Such a
shouting and hand clapping! The pace
was set by an old negro granny, fat aid
jOvial, and a younger negro wench, who
accompanied the bride from her cham
Der and danced around her whilst the
naked Indians looked on in stolid as
tonishment. The wedding procession.
was about to start for the mission, a few
miles up the river. Whilst the bride
retired to doff her finery and prepare
for the trip, Bunting explained that he
could not attend to us till next day, so
we decided to submit to the inevitable
and attend at the function.
The hymeneal procession started, CON
sisting of a huge freight bateau, squalc
as a packing case, but comfortably
seated for the occasion, and half a dozen
Indian canoes into which the guests
overlooked from the state barge. EACH
boat carried a flag, and the bateau had
Two. The scene was pleasing as it was
novel, and not too brilliant to outmatcl
the vivid sunshine that beat on the
CLASSY rivers ruddy tide and the bewil-
dering greens, crimson, white, purple
and blue of the wild foliage and flowers
along the steep banks. Shouts and
song and laughter made the air trembIs
and woke the woodland echoes. The
bride and groom sat together, and so
far from resenting the personal remarks
made about them freely joined in the
jokes and laughter. ,rhe procession
'nomently grew. Every dehcending
we passed joined it on the occ1-
pants hearing what was up. At each
accession the b~lushing bride would clap
her little hands and cry out in pleased
welcome and-yes, and kiss the groom:
A wedding is rare on the river, and poor
chloe had 40 presidents, only the die
tates of her heart; so judge her mild,

The little chapel was radiant with
flags and flowers and palm leaves, bur
The novelty of the scene lay in the peo-
pie. After dressing up for the cere-
mony, the negro and Boviander women
were something to look at. What with
the unaccustomed boots and corsets,
they could but walk in limps and
breathe in gasps-bnt they were fash.
ionably attired, and hat was the point.
They smiled, were admired by the men,
and what more was to be wished?
There followed the wedding feast,
and such a feast as it was. The for.
ests had been ransacked by Bunting's
Indian relations. Of fried, boiled, roast
ed and stewed, there was no end; the
meats of deer, labba, a%couri, parrots and
other bush fowls steamed along with
all sorts of fish from the river. OF
fruit there were oranges, mangoes,
pineapples and a lot else. Growing all,
on the bridal table, stood the mighty
wedding cake specially ordered from
Georgetown, and flanked with glass
decanters containing wine, and a dozen
or so of cheap porcelain dishes and
plates of assorted patterns. The WINE
was served in tumblers, cups pans,
calabnshes, ETC., and the brides health
was formally drunk. All hands then
fell to feasting, Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon

Dame Fashion Says That Many CurIs
Must Be Worn.
1t nature has been ~niggardly in the
matter of curls, woman must HE her
to the hair dresser this season to en-
treat him to make good the deficiency.
For curls of all sorts and conditions are
all to be popular. The only thing
which is tabooed is the smoothly drawn
Madonna-like couture, which has been
the solace of the indolent woman for
a season or two. Pompadour combs
help to give the roll it's stability. They
are fastened in the hair in such a way
as to press the fluffy puff out toward the
face instead of in from it. When the
hair is worn a la pompadour, so Ear as
the facially decorative part is con
cerned, the back hair is generally gath
cred up on the top of the head. There
it is coiled loosely and roundly instead
of in the pertly erect and narrow fash
ion recently prevailing. In difference to
the rage for curls the ends of the coils
are oftentimes free.
Young persons who have a pleasing
consciousness of classic profles indulge
in curled Psyche knots. The hair is
waved lightly on the sides and laid in
full puffs on the back of the head. Be-
meath the lower pun two or three short
curls dangle, sometimes fastened by a
bow and sometimes the head on to the
forehead.
simultaneously with the announce
ment from the hairdressers that the
hair must be curled comes the declara-
ton from hygienists that the curling
iron must go. 1t is branded as the dead
lest foe to the softness and fneness of
the locks. This would be a particularly
discouraging conflict but for the tact
that the makers of kid curriers' have de-
Vised an almost picturesque hod of
curling the hair. The little, inoffensiye
kid curriers' r all provided with narrow
ribbons which tie in dainty little bows
all owe the head.-St. Louis Republic.

the unfortunate instantly. Word was

Deceased was apparently 50 or 40 years

session two hats. The neck and right

necessary to stop the car to remove him
from the track An attempt was made
to get him aboard the car and take him

only to meet his death a few moments
later. A coroners's inquest will be held

THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Residents at Redondo Want to Be Rid Of the
Gamblers


A petition received from certain of
the residents of Redondo, relative to
the gambling there in vogue, was re-
ferred to the district attorney for his
opinion.
The petition had appended about 33
signatures, and drew attention
to the fact that certain gambling games
of the character specified in section $50
of the penal code are being openly con-
Quoted at Redondo Beach, and that these
are prejudicial to the order and good
government Of the municipality. The
petitioners draw attention to the fact
that such games being prohibited and
punishment fixed by the state law the
board of trustees of the city cannot by
ordinance provide any punishment.
The board of supervisors are therefore
asked that such steps may be taken un-
der the state law as will prevent the con-
tinuance of the games complained of.
The application of the District Agri-
cultural association for saloon license
to carry on business in the grand stand
at the racetrack was set for hearing on

Fell NV the Waygjde

An elderly man, who claimed to have
been sailor, giving his name as Capt.
james Kennedy. applied at the receiv-
ing hospital yesterday afternoon for
medical treatment. He had had felon
on one of his fingers, and the disease
had attacked the bone so that the fin
ger was in a terrible condition. 1t was
dressed and the patient sent out to the
county hospital, as it was thought that
possibly amputation would be neces-
sary.
Along about o'clock in the evening
the patrol wagon was called to First
street and the doughty sea captain was
taken to the station bowling drunk.
He had not remained in the hospital an
hour before he made his escape and fell
by the Wayside.

ATWOOD'S PERIL
A Serious Accident Avertei by Trooper Mill

A serious and possibly fatal accident
was averted in Troop d as they formed
into line preparatory to being dismissed
in front of the armory Wednesday even
ing, by the horsemanship of Trooper
A. E. Miller, with Kohler & Chase.
They had just returned from an out
ing near Compton, and in swinging into
line Trooper Atwood's horse slipped and
fell, with the trooper underneath. AS
the horse struggled to his feet, Atwood 5

Ter dashed after him at full speed and
succeeded in stopping the frightened
charger, although the street was crowd

b ore the horse had reached Second

feat, with little or no damage, and a
narrow escape for Trooper Atwood, who
fortunately escaped any serious injury.

yesterday served four separate papers
on her. One required her to move out
her furniture and household goods with
out delay. Two were writs of attachment
on her household goods to secure the
payment of unpaid grocery bills, and the
fourth was a warrant for her arrest on
another charge of petty larceny, sworn
out by M. Clark, who alleges that his
landlady stole silver dollar from his
room. She will probably be arraigned
in court today.
