The Steamer Frank Jones to Go On the
Old Route.

The adjourned monthly meeting of the
directors of the Maine Central, called for
yesterday, was again adjourned until the
March meeting owing to the illness OF
so many of tie directors.
From information received 1t may be
stated that it is practically decided that
the steamer Frank Jones which has in
the past run from Rockland to Mt.
Desert and points east, will take the old
route from Portland touching at all the
principal coast towns. The wharf in this
city will be put in complete repair at a
cost of about $1,000, and everything ar
ranged for the convenience of the mer-
chants whose large trade with these coast
ports will now be restored. This will be
good news to our merchants and the
change will prove Of great benefit to the
city.

The Bangor 8 Aroostook.

The Bangor & Aroostook railroad
asks the city of Bangor to release them
from their obligation to build an indie
pendent line into the city. The company
says: "We are now in position to
and can make a contract with the Maine
Central Railroad company for running
rights over the tracks of that company
between Old Town and and Bangor.
Such right means that we shall run own
tracks, cars and engines with our our
train crews from any points on our
lines to the Mamie Central depot and
freight houses in Bangor. Possessing
and enjoying such rights, this oompa-
ny is to all intents and purposes in pos
session of the same privileges as if ope-
rating an independent line.

The City Council, who, as Mayor Bell correctly says, eare but the agents and trusted servants of the people, should see to it that the Water and Light Conn pauy carries out it's contract with the city in every particular The private consumer is deserving of protection from "unclean, unwhole- some and impure water and if the Council does not accord its citizens the protection needful and neeessa- ry, then it is dereliet in the dis charge of it's duty.
 The GRAPHIC believes that the Light and Water Company should be accorded it's every right under Is charter; the GRAPHIC also believes that the City Council should force this corporation, as all others, to comply strictly with the terms oi it's contract with tho city. The pub lie should expect nothing more nor accept anything less. It is this, we understand, Mayor Bell is attempt ing to do as the chief executive oI the city, and in hls efforts to CD. force the city's rights under hel contract, he is performing a public service in which he should have the moral support of every citizen, wh6 believes in paying for what he gets and in getting what he pays for.

1 ,SCATHING 4RR4IGN.HENT.

We publish elsewhere in this issue
 two very strong excerpts from May
 or Bells message vetoing the act of
 the City Council making settlement
 with the Light and Water Company.
 This part of the Mayors message is
 very scathing arraignment of the Council and Water Company, and discloses the fact that Mayor Bell is possessed of very strong spinal column aud is ready at all times to stand by his honest convictions.
 However the people may feel in re gard to the correctness of the May or's attitude relative to the Light and Water Company, all must ap- plaud his bold and fearless stand for what be eoneeiyes to be the right of the citizens under their contract with this corporation. When the Mayor asserts that the Water Com pany has 'persistentlY and at all |times insisted upon supplying the lefty and it's inhabitants with unfii- |tered, unelarified, unwholesome. un-
 clean and impure water from the Epolluted Arkansas river, into which |nows all the sewerage Of Little Rock,
 Fort Smith and part of our own lefty, he asserts fact that cannot be gainsayed. It is is a notorious
 fact that the water served to
 pubic and private consumers is
 'untiltered, unclari6ed, nnwhole-
 some and unclean." There can be Do doubt on this point. All one
 needs to do to convince himself in
 the primises is to watch the dirty

TT is matter of serious regret that the paving on Main street will not be finished by the end of the week. This is the most direct route to the Fair Grounds, and the present condition of that thoroughfare will be a serious inconvenience to all visitors to the Park. Work was be- gun in ample time for it to be com pleted by Fair week, but through the delay of the contractor 1t will be at least two weeks before the street will be open to the public. All of which should have ,been avoided and discloses bad management somewhere.

Sane Advice to Young Artists.

Don't give ill was about the gist of what Sir Wyke Bayliss said to the English art students ill lecture Ut the South Kensington museum He told them what ought to ho their watchword
 Do not believe, he said, in the in sidious lie that the devil is always whispering to the soul of the artist that the golden age of alt is past and that what was done yesterday cannot be done today, for art is iii it's deeadenee Such an assertion was the danger of the time and he would have them track it to its source and kill it there It had two forms-despondency and tempta- tion--but he urged them not to be in- fiueneed by either Let their study be based upon knowledge, tho knowledge that had accumulated during the ages and was formulated iii what was known as academic training, and let their knowledge in turn be based upon their own study.

 Certainly that is the best of advice for what has been done before can be done again

tery--Tha Rattles That went vita Them
No Pure-Bieods AmonE the O~nondaEas.
A despatch to The Sun from Syracuse last
Tuesday told Of tho death Of Chief Thomas
Webster Of the onondaga Indians and OF the sub
sequent discovery that nearly all the great
wampum Of the ~Iroquois Confederacy, OF which
Webster was the keeper, had disappeared, Tho
disappearance Of this wampum is . great loss to
the Six Nations. although 1t is probable that
much Of II will DO restored II, as has been stated,
Il has found It's way into tho Smithsonian lnsti-
tuition at Washington or the State Museum at
Albany.
The great wampum OF tho Iroquois Indians
was composed Of four belts Of shell beads of
varying lengths and widths, worked In designs
to tell the story of the events which they were
intended to celebrate. The wampuu Is a sort Of
historical record OF the most important events
In connection with tho life OF the Confederation.
Few whites have seen the great wampum. 1t
was supposed to be iealously guarded and to no
produced only on great occasions, such as q
great council for the election of a President Of
the Confederation. The Indians werc prevailed
on. however, to show 1t at the Onondaga county
centennial four or Ave years ago. and n photo

This is O. portrait Of Thomas Webster. tho
keeper Of the Great Wampum. who died last
Sunday. 1t was taken with a small camera ut
the Onondaga reservation three years ago.
Webster's Indian name was Hay -du.geh-
wah Bitter Body. He was a descendant Of tho
first white settl err in the Onondaga Valley. All
the Onondaga Indians are more or less OF mixed
white and Indian blood. There are no pure
bloods among them. In fact, Daniel La Fort.
chief of the Onondagas and President of the
lroquois Confederacy, would be taken for u
white man anywhere,

THE L wAMrUM.

Tho long belt is tho federation agreement
among the Six Nations. and is the most highly
priced OF the collection. 1t represents the Long
House, or Council House, of the Confcderacy,
which was always located in the Onondaga Val
ley. fanked by small figures. To the right and
left Of these small figures are six larger ones
with clasped hands. The smaller figures are
said to represent the executive officers of tho
Confederacy, and the larger ones symbolic the
contracting nations. This difference in the size
OF the figures, II IL said, was intended to signify
that the power OF the individual nations was
not to be su bordinuted to any federal authority,
but rather that the executive officers OF the con.
federation should be subordinate to the will Of
the nations declared in great council. This
treaty Of confederation is composed chiefly Of
white shell beads. the nRurcs and the Council
House being wrought in beads made from black
clam shells.
One OF the other three belts OF wampum, It Is
said. sealed the treaty by which the Tuscaroras
tShirt Wearcrsl Were admitted 10 the Iroquois
Confederation. Tho Tuscaroras were originally
from the South Atlantic colst; were driven
north bv the persecution OF their more warlikc
nciRhbors, and were admitted into tlu %lrOQuois
Confedcracy. still another OF tho pieccs of
wampum is known as the HiawRtha Belt. All
are made from shell beads, the original waInpum
OF the North American Indian.
