INDIAN DIVORCES.

With most of the plains Indians
marriage consists of picking out
the maiden, leading her to cabin
or wigwam and installing her as
mistress of the house and cornfeld,
sometimes with the necessary pre-
liminary ofpaying the father pony
or two or an installment Of blan-
kets, and occasionally with some
slight ceremony performed by a
chief or medicine man. And when
the brave grows tired of his part
ner he can get rid of her as easily
as he won her.
The people who are now Aocking
to the Dakotas or Oklahoma to get
divorces would bo supremely happy
if they could throw off the CALLING
bonds of wedlock as easily as does
the reservation Indian. The fact
having been formally announced
by the head man of The clan, the
divorce takes place when the tribe
is gathered at a dance, When all
are assembled and the circle formed
the Disconnected warrior strikes a
drum used by the jewellers, gives
away few presents (oIt times max
ing present to the squaw he in,
tends to take neXt), and then in
short, bombastic speech he stigma
tizes his wife by giving her over to
the tender mercies of the other
braves, while they look upon him
enviously and consider that he has
performed an act of bravery in his
desertiOn
Often as many as half a dozen
divorces are thus obtained at a
single dance. No tedious waiting
no courts, no lawyers and no trou
BILE about alimony or the custody
of children. And the squaws thus
cast off. as a genera thing, seem to
take it as matter of course, and
before the close of the dance are
using the wies known and used by
the women OF the world over In an
effort to repair as speedily as pos
sible the break in their hearts and
matrimonial experience.
With the taking of land in sew
crafty and putting on of citizenship
however, the Indian finds that he
has cemented the ties that were so
loose before, for the courts every
where are deciding that the tribal
marriages ara legal and binding
upon the Indian who becomes a
citizen. And if the weight Of one
legal marriage wears somewhat
heavily upon white man, how
must it be with the red man, who
has contracted two, three, four or
even more alliances which the
court now declares legal and at the
same time takes away his former
avanum of "a lobe Democrat

The District Commissioners are becoming
very tired Of this manner of building school
houses, and as heretofore stated in The

Of Mr.. Smith.


In the case of Clarendon Smith against

between him and complainant; denies that
the partnership was only to continue for
three months: admits that complainant was

tribute his time and services. which, he
insists. is just as much capital as the con-
Irritation OF complainant; denies that in

ALEXANDRIA ELECTRIC ROAD.
II In Reported That the PennsyIvaniH
fs to Take Control.

A report prevails in railroad circles that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which
is understood to he the owner of a con-
trolling interest in the Washington, Alex
aadria and Moint Vernon electric railway,
VIII shortly assume the active manage
ment of the latter read, which is now main
tained as separate organization.
President Abbot of the Washington, Alex
andri4 and Mount Vernon Company said
today that there was no truth In the
rumor but other railroad men who are
generally well informed to what will
take place in the future say they believe
the report to be correct.
One Weil-posted railroad man said that
the change would not take place until the
deal for the purchase of the Falls Church
electric road 10y the Pennsylvania com
pany, which Is said to he pending, Is COM
plete&- and that very soon afterward the
Pennsylvania will show its hand in tire
matter
1t is stated that while the affairs of the
Pennsylvania road are usually conducted
on strictly business principles. the position
which the big company is said to be about
t. take in the matter is not wholly uEniNrd
with sentiment.
1t is well known that prominent officials
of the Pennsylvania. who are familiar with
the condition of the employees who We're
laid off on account of the Withdrawal of
the local trains to Alexandria, view their
loss of pay with regret. and would Ike 10
do what they can TO make times better for
them.
So serious a matter has the loss of reg
ular position been to many of the train
crews formerly i'm the Alexandria service
that IL is stated to be impossible for them
TO earn enough during some weeks to pro-
cure the barest necessaries of life, and it
is declared that some of them made only 81
during the whole of las; week.
Such state of affairs has never, so far
as Is known. existed among Pennsylvania
employees before, either in this or any other
city, and there is great desire on the
part OF those having charge Of transporta-
ton affairs TO bring about a change. Ii is
said that III the Pennsylvania assumes the
direct operation of the Washington, Alex
andria and Mount Vernon. the crews now
practically unemployed will again be given
regular places.
In addition to this there is, il is pretty
well known, an Intense dissatisfaction
among the people of Alexandria who travel
between that city and Washington on ac-
count of the change made by the Pennsyl-
wanna, which compels all local passengers
to use the electric line whether they desire
TO do SO or not If they wish to go from
one city to the other.
1t is said that when the Alexap,Irians
were consulted in reference TO the building
OF the electric line, they were Informed
that the effect of the opening OF the latter
would be to give the people of the two
places additional transportation facilities
but that such has not been the result
1t Is also reported that the PENNSYLVANIA
Is influenced TO make the move ascrihed TO
IL as among the probabilities of the future
on account OF rumor that a new ferry limo
may DE started between Washington and
