Indian women,s Right..

There was a womsn's rights meeting
out in California the other day which
would have been safe from the gibes of
even the bitterest scoffer at that move
ment. The assemblage was made up of
women of the Umatilla tribe. whose
reservation is near Pendleton, and they
had met to bewail the fate of their hus-
bands, sons and sweethearts who have
recently fallen under the spell of the
white mans fire water" Prior to last
March, it was misdemeanor to sell
liquor to Indians or half-breeds on or
off a reservation in California, and
things were going well enough with the
Umatillas at that time. But under an
old law it is found that the Indians can
be admitted 10 full citizenship, condi-
tion which liquor dealers of Pcndleton
are making the most Of. Hence the
meeting of the Indian women and their
expressions of wrath as well as sorsow.
and their threats, which seemed for IA
time likely to be carried into effect, Of
descending in body on the sellers Of
fire water.-Chicago Inter Ocean

Science-our science--is new. II is q
child of the nineteenth century. IL
has transformed the world and owes
little debt of obligation to any past
age. IL has driven mystery out of the
universe: IL has made malleable stuff
OF the hard world and laid il out in its
elements upon the table of every class
room. Its own masters have known
its limitations; they have stopped
short at the confines of the physical
dniverse they have declined TO reckon
with spirit or with the stuffs of the

fined themselves to sensation. But
their work has been so stupendous that
all other men of all other studies have
been set staring at their methods, imi-
tnting their ways of thought, og)ing
their results. We look in our study of
the classics nowadays more at the phc-
nomena of language than at the move
mcnt OF spirit; we suppose the world
which is invisible to be unreal: we
doubt the efficacy of feeling and eNag-
gerate the efficacy of knowledge; we
speak of society as an asylum and be-
lieve that we can contriNe for il new
environment which will change the
very nature of its constituent parts:
worst of all. we believe in the present
and in the future more than la the past,
and deem the newest theory of society
the likeliest. This is the disservicc
scientific study has done for us; it has
given us agnosticism in the realm of
philosophy, scientific anarchism in
the field of politics. II has made
'he legislator confident that he can
create, and the philosopher sure
that God cannot. Past expert
ence is discredited and the laws
of matter are supposed TO apply TO

"But, Mr.. Kenyon, the success of your

Kenyon flushed as she said this, but
made no reply.

came to Holborn, and Miss Longworth
nodded To him, so he went on, without
stopping, up into Oxford street

and then told his visitor abruptly that
the scheme did not commend itself TO
him.
John Kenyon walked along Cheap
side feeling very much downhearted
over his rebuff with Bongworth. The
pretended forgetfulness of the young
man, of course, he took at its proper
value. He, nevertheless, felt very sorry
the interview had been so futile. and in
stead of going back TO Wentworth and
telling him his experience he thought
IT best TO walk off little of his disap-
pointment first. He was somewhat
startled when man accosted him and
glancing up, he saw standing there a
tail footman, arraycd in a gray coat
that came down to his heels.
II beg your pardon sir" said the foot
man, but Miss Longworth would like
to speak to you"
Miss Longworth!" said Kenyon, in
surprise. "Wbere is she?"
"She is here in her carriage. sir
The carriage had drawn up beside the
pavement, and John Kenyon looked
round in confusion 20 see that Miss
Longworth was regarding him and the
tootman with an amused air. An eld-
erly woman sat in the carriage opposite
her, while grave and dignified coach

footman, kept his place like a seated
statue in front. John Kenyon took off his
hat as he approached the young wom-

How are you, Mr.. Kenyon" said
Edith Lougworth, brightly. holding out
her hand to the young man by her car
riage. "Will you not step IN? want
to talk oyou, and am afraid the police
will not allow us to block such crowd
ed thoroughfare as Cheapside"
As she said this the nimble footman
threw open the door of the carriage,
while John, not knowing what to say,
stepped inside and took his seat.
"Hlilborn," said the young woman TO
the coachman; then, turning to Ken
yon. she continued: "Will you not tell
me where you are going, so that / may
know where to set you down."
