you think you can manage him alone,
Louise and / will go to the village for
the doctor and-Some medicine"
Louise heard the proposition with dis
may, for it was nearly midnight, and
she was timid; but a thought of what
the night might bring to her dear little
brother braced her nerves, and she
FASTENED to add her WORD to Ellen's.
Yes, mamma, it is full moonlight,
and we will take Frisk. We will go
across lots through Mr.. Flanders field,
tand be back in less than an hour"
Mrs. Raleigh hesitated. They were in
the midst of large strawberry growing
region, and great many Indians al
ways came from the neighboring reser-
vations for the picking camping in any
open land which they could find; and
although the season was nealy over, a
few of them still fingered.
This is such a simple, law-abiding
neighborhood," she said, that l shcnld
be willing, if it were not for the Indians
they are very harmless, and you
wouldn't have to go near any OF the
-camps-I think l will risk it. Take
Frisk-he's useless as far as the Indians
-are concerned, he's so little, and so
afraid of them himself, but you'll feel
better if you meet anyone"
The path, so familiar by day, looked
uncertain and weird in the moonlight,
especially to Louise; and every waving
bush sent her heart into her mouth; but
ElIen's courage was contagious, and she
soon grew less nervous. When they
reached the village, they found tina: the
doctor had been called to distant pa
tient hut his wife promised that he
should drive out as soon as he retuCned,
and they FASTENED home with the Inedi-
cine. They had accomplished half the
distance, when, in turning the corner
of Mr.. Flanders barn, they came upon a
sight which made even Ellen's heart
beat faster.
The door was open, and tall Indian
pnd his squaw were each leading Il
horse out, while their own pony, packed
with their camp outfit, waited near by.
The girls stood breathless instant,
then turned to run to the house-nct
with any definite purpose of saving MIR.

may have mingled with the fear which
urged their fIight) but simply because
it offered the nearest shelter. Hrisk
was already almost out of sight. hut
they had hardly run their lengths, when
a powerful hand grasped an arm of each.
Noiceless with terror, they did not need
the warning in the gutteral Chinook Of
the Pacific coast: wake ely! spose
mesika ely, nika memalocse!" don I
scream. if you scream I'll kill YOU'D
to secure their silence.
Showing Ellen and dragging Louise -
who was too weak with fright to walk
the Indian turned toward the barn. The
sauaw. anticipating his need of hcT as
.sistance. was tying the horses.

he said, nodding toward coil of small
rope hanging to their camping outfit,
as he pushed Ellen over the sill. The
poor girl had been thinking very fast.
She knew that something would be
done to make it impossible for Louise
and herself to communicate with any
one until the Indians should be far

IN THE HOUSE.

q In the House there was reminder of
the scenes and experiences in the 51st
Congress today, when Mr.. Piokler, Re-
publican of South Dakota, being unable
yesterday to secure as long session as
he desired for the consideration of the
private pension BILL made the point of
no quorum before the journal of yester-
days proceedings was read. Fifteen min
utes passed before the 179 members ap-
peared, and then Mr.. Piokler insisted
upon having the journal readsin extenso,
including the names Of the absentees
on roll call.
He objected to the pro forma suggestion
that the journal be considered as ap-
proved, requiring a vote upon the oues-
tion. Throughout the session Mr..
Picker demanded the regular order at
every opportunity, finally explaining that
he was moved thereto by the hope that
the House would thus find time to con
slider private pension bills.
Mr.. Payne, Republican of New York,
called Mr.. Pickler's attention to the fact
that his action tended only to defeat
his express purpose. as those bills could
be taken up only by unanimous consent.
This Mr.. Picker interpreted to veil q
threat that unanimous consent could not
be given, and remarked that he ''aceept-
ed the service" The incident then
stopped. After transacting some unim-
portsnt business the House adjourned.

HoodIums at w ork at Berwick.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

South Berwick, May 1.-THE early visit
ors to South Berwick village this morn
ing would have had abundant reason
to believe that there had been several
startling changes in business during
the night. Charles G. Hobbs. who has
been q prominent lawyer in town for
many years, had evidently gone into a
new business If the barber's pole in from t
of his office meant anything. Miss Her
som's millinery store was adorned with
the large sign "Yeaton's Mills Grain
Store" and dozen other signs in town
had been changed.
Heveral signs have disappeared alto
gsthsr. 1t is an open question in town
as to whether the work was done by Aca
deny students or by.hoodlums. Whoever
did the job must have worked pretty live
ly as the electric lights were not out un-
til after midnight.

THEY WILL FIGHT.
New England Mule Spinners Will Resist
aReduction In Wages.

Fall River, Mass, May I'm talk
with Secretary Robert Howard of the
Mule Spinners' Union today, 1t was gath
cred that the news OF the reduction of
wages in the Lewiston and Biddeford
mills will have but one effect here. If
the reductions there are enforced the spin
ners will strike and receive the support
of the national association while they
are idle. If the strike results in shut
down of the Maine and New Hampshire
mills, the spinners in New Bedford and
Fall River will contribute willingly to
aid the idle ones. Experience has shown
that reductions in wages are not fol-
lowed by complete restorations, and tine
nasional association has come to the con-
clusion that the wage scale for mule
spinning is low enough now. II the
trade conditions warrant lower wages,
united New England ourtailment must
be tried as a remedy or prolonged fight
must follow. These sentiments are those
of more than two-bhirds of the operatives
in Fall River and New Bedford. rhey
were urged with more determination
than Secretary Howard usually shows
when talking with reporters.

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

Rookland, May Hon. Charles n.
Littlefield, who will present Reeds name
before thetRepublioan National conven-
tion In St. Louis, sarrived home tonight
and was questioned regarding the move
ment being made by the Bath Times to
have the Maine delegation unite on Har-
rison.
He laughed the idea to soorn. ed
tor PatteD," said..he, ''has not the slight
est reason for thinking that Maine or
New England will abandon Mr.. Reed and

traces ever since the state convention at
Portland, because his pet resolution was
turned down, wouldEnot have ono iotasof

in their behalf as well us for myself.
Given should the Reed movements be
abandoned, which we have not the slight

last man in the world that Maine would

candidate before the Minneapolis oonven-
tion four years ago, and should work
against him at St. Louis as did there.
"You may state positively that the
Maine delegation will vote for Reed, un-
til he or some one else has received the
nomination.
Mr.. Littlef1eld was disappointed, but
not wholly. surprised to hear that Indiana
had instructed for Mckinley. He had
hoped for an uninstruoted delegation.

Cleveland, May 7.-Bishop Z. Foss presid-
ed at today's session Of the Methodist
general conference. DIR. A. J. Kineft
presented the report Of the committee on
eligibility. which provided for COM
promise of the woman question. The
proposition in substance is to allow the
woman delegates to keep their seats on
the understanding that it should not es.
TIA ablish precedent, and to resubmit to
the annual con ference during the next
four years the same constitutional
amendment or one similar to that which
lately barely failed of adoption by three
quarters vote.
The report further provides that the
action Of this general conference should
be without any prejudice to the rights
Of any women delegate to any future
general conference under the constitution
as suoh general conference may construe
or interpret 1t.
Rev. DR.. Warren of New England pre-
sented substitute for the committee ON
eligibility. 1t provided that women duly
qualified, might be chosen as lay dele
gates by the electoral conference, the male
majority report, should dsclare women
eligible; provided that in no case more
than half of the delegates Of the reserve
delegates should be women. The SUBJ
stitute further declared that the confer

stances to interfere in any way with the
status of women elected in good faith by
their constituents.
Rev. Geo. P. Mains. Of New York. east,
moved to lay the substitute Of DR.. War

Rev. DR.. Buckley said: "The situation
is critical. Unless this matter is com
promised long trail Of bitter feulIng
will be left behind. 1 know the women
have a majority of this body and the
church, but they will never get my help
to get in. I will vote for this oompro-
mise because it leaves the question open
means. We have not given the women
the right to come in; they are already
in. The compromise simply refuses to
put them out and lsaves them in with q
seat that is challenged -
The full report was adopted by an al
| most unanimous vote. The announce.
ment Of the vote was greeted with pro-
longed applause. 1t is claimed that
women are no longer members of the
conference.
The conference decided to maintain the

made to have majority rule substituted

TWO MEN KILLED.
Fatal Railway Accident Near Park
Square Station, Boston.

Boston, May 7.-The N. Y, N. Il. and
H. railroad passenger train from New
York was derailed in the yard just OUT
side the Park Square station at about T. 30
p. m. One man was killed and one
fatally and two slightly hurt. The train
was entering the station when the
smoking car was overturned. Two day
coaches left the rails. In the smoker were
nearly twenty passengers and the casual
ties occurred there. One of the injured,
j. E. Long, OF Watertown, died later at
the hospital. W. ]. Dow, g. merchant of
this city, was the man killed. 1t is
thought the first coach struck the point
of the switch and jumped the track,
taking o second coach with it. The for
ward platform of the first coach prof. badly
caught beneath the rear platform of the
smoker and threw it on its side.

ALDRIcH NOT DISCOURAGED
Says Presidential Nomination Is Still Anys
body's Fight.

Washington, May 7.-Congressman j.
f. Aldrich of Illinois, who is an ardent
champion Of Speaker Reed, does not
agree with the Mckinley men that the en-
dorsemen5 Of the Ohio candidate at 1ndi-
annapolis today settles the matter. "Of
course" said Mr.. Aldrich, sit would
be folly to say it is not discouraging to
have number of states all in one week
endorse Mckinley. We wish it were
otherwise. We are not willing to copcede
that Mckinley has a walk-over, far from
it. By what authority can any one say
that Mckinley will have a majority of
votes. According to Mr.. Manley's os-
innate, made public last Monday morn
ing, Mckinley was credited with 275
votes. Since then we concede he has cap
tured IA in California, in Indiana, 6
in Michigan, 2 in Illinois and 10 in Mis-
souri,. That makes &c. These added to
275 reasesshissstrength to 311. Let us
suppose for the sake of argument he Sc
cures II more votes in Indiana in addit-
ion to the IL we have allowed him. That
makes 1876. 1t is not unlikely that Colo
RADIO, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Wyoming
strength to Mckinley. They have votes
which will swell MoKinley's figures toss357.
That leaves him short 100 of a majority.
Now, where is he going to get the re-
mainder. The contest is not settled by
any means. 1t Is still anybody's fight"
"You don't think then that the situ-
alton at the present time takes any of the
candidates out Of thessrace."
"No, except it be Harrison. He, as is
well-known, is not candidate. All the
others so far as I know will continue to
be very much in evidence"
