The merriest kind Of . welcome viii
probably ne given to William Gillette's
greatest comedy SUCCESS, "Too Much
Johnson" when ii appears at keitn's
Opera House the week Of Jan. is. under
the management OF Charles Frohman. 1t
is one of those frivilous, hilarious pieces
which Is filled with witty lines and in
genious complications. "Too Much John
son" simply abounds in laug ba BILE
speeches, and has complications enough
to "give csrcs and spades" to the famous

glib way In which o cool, audacious New
Yorker makes FREQ use OF the name Of
Johnson in order to explain some femi
nine notes which his mother-in-lsw has
discovered in his pockets. In the second
act. the real johnson appears upon tho
scene. but instead Of discomtiting the man
who hns borrowed his name, this simply
incites the latter to q new and more COM
plicated series Of falseh hoods. He and bis
party take possession of the real johnson

doing Johnson, and everything else for
a day, this modern Ananias manages to
get away with flying colors. without

A raucher near Honcut, Cal, had a
small clock, one of these round time
pieces which, although small, keep
good time and ring quite loud in Civ
ing the hour. This happened to be
placed in window where it fell to the
ground outside. 4 COW was grazing
near the house and swallowed the
clock. Diligent search was made for it,
but it could not be found. That even
ing when the farmers son was milking
the COW he was nearly frightened to
death to hear the bell ringing inside
the COW. The farmer went to town,
got a strong dose to act as au emetic

May II. 1897.
Beer is Supplanting Nhiskey

The Internal receipts of the United
States government for the last fiscal
year show an increase of about ] per
cent in the income from the tax on
spirits, whereas the revenue RAISED by
the tax on malt and other fermente d
liquors increased not less than per
cent. The rates of taxation were not
changed, so that the increase il he
celpt5 corresponds with the eXpau-
sion OF the market for tho liquors
taxed.
These figures seem to prove that the
cOnsum ptioD of spirits is not iucreas-
ing in the United States as fast as the
pOpul alton. 1t is evident that the rate
of growth in the last fiscal year was
not much more than half as much as
the rate of gain in the number Of in
habitants.
ON the other hand the revenue from
the tax on beer and similar liquors in
d!cates that the use of such alcoholic
beverages is fast outrunning the in
crease of the population. 1t is not
probable that the number OF inhabi
tants of the United States is growing
at the rate OF more than per cent a
year, and if that is SO, the consumption
OF beor showed an increase last year
about three times as great in proper
ton as the growth of the country.
This means that we are becoming
moro like the continental countries of
Europe, as q nation, in the use of slim
ulants, and there ought to be much
less drunkenness in proportion to the
number of drinkers than there used 20
be when v hiskoy was the great Amer

AN APPALLING COMBIN ALTON.

TIE Me5calcro is in reality an

poses of civilization. Closely related
to this savage and warlike tribe by
ties OF blood, the Etescaleros possess
all the characteristics of their better
known relatives supersti-
tion. cruelty, cunning. filth, laziness,
stubborncss, immortality, drunkenness,
treachery, begging. stealing, lying
an appalling combination against
which to urge the advantages of civili-
za tioD. The government has treated
these Indians very generously. For
years they have been receiving tatiODs
of beef, -four, coffee, sugar, salt, soap,
baking powder, etc, clothing and agri-
cultural implements. \ good deal of
moral suasion had been added to physi-
cal necessities, in the vain hope ~f
opening to them tie door of higher

to the Old way, determining TO main

The Mescalero reservation is situat-
ed in southern New Mexico, comprises
$50, 600 acres, and the census of 1896
shows an Indian population of 450-190
males, 163 females. OF the whole
number there a,e 104 children between
) and Is years of age.
Lieutenant Stottler assumed charge
of the agency December II, 1894, and
to say that he has accomplished won
ders in civilizing these Indians. is to
give only a meager idea Of his splendid
work. Those who are interested in
the subject of Indian education may
study with profit the methods of this
officer, which have yielded unparal-
leled results. It goes without saying
that the vast IS vitality concerned in
this matter, but most Of ali the govern
ment, which annually makes generous
appropriations, is interested in this
educational enigma.

THE STATE on AFFAIRs IN 1S9l

THE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN 1896.
Lieut.. Stottler found them living in
teepees, wearing breech clouts and
blankets, in superstition and ignorance,
and far, in very many respects, from
the rudiments of civilized life. i few
raised corn and vegetables and the In
dian police lived in block houses, but
practically they were no better off
than when the government took them
in hand. They resented any attempt
to change their condition or mode OF
life, and this may be an opportune
time to mention the fact that it requir-
ed no ordinary degree of courage TO iu-
troduce radical reforms among these
violent and treacherous people, with
out even the support Of o company of
soldiers. Any display of this ch aracter
would in all probability have defeated
the very object for which Lieut.. StOt-
tier strove, and he went to his stern
duty alone and single handed. The
manufacture of liquor from corn called
''tiswin," was carried on openly, and
drunken brawls, in which lives were
lost, resulted. About 80 per cent of
the children were at school, in face of
the most strenuous opposition OF the
parents. This was the state of affairs
at the agency when Lieut.. Stottler
assumed charge in the latter part Of
1894.
He quickly recognized the futility of
the methods there in vogue and set
about his work on original lines.
With the millions expended annually
in Indian education, NEXT to nothing
was being &C ;omplished. There were
about 800 acres OF irrigable and good
land on the reservation, but the In
dams were two lazy to plant crops that
would have furnished them with the
good food necessary for their support.
1t was much more pleasant to draw IA
tiODs from an indulgeut and pattern al
government. and reserve their energy
for war dances and brawls. There
were % strong broad shnu dered
bucks, educated at the expense of tho
government, running around the re5er-
walton in paint and blanket.
They were too lazy for manual
la Dor. Several educated squaws were
married and living in filthy teapees,
while girls were usually taken out of
school at 10 and II years OF age and
sold for ponies, into bondage worse
than death. ! he5e are the kind of
people whom, some of our eastern citi-
Hens who have never seen an Indian,
would clOthe and feed at the expense
Of the government, and civilize by
moral suasiOn. Here are set forth the
results CT some 20 years OF moral sua-
sion, not especially brilliant it must be
admitted.
The agent before Lieutenant Stottler
had ordered the bucks ID cut their
hair, and a small revolution resulted.
They refused point blank and that SCI
tied it. Lieutenant StOttler's first move
was to increase the ratiOn5 of the police.
He then informed them that they must
all put on uniforms under pain of

was never better exemplitied than in
The case of the M@scalero Apache

charge OF Fir-t Lieutenant V. E StOt-
tie, Tenth infantry, as ac-ing Indian

| Looking over the ground, and draw
! ing conclusions from the experience
| of hers, which represent years OF futile
en3eavor, aud the Expenditures of many
hundreds of thousands of dollars, this
officer, dec ded that the keynote of the
situation was to be found in work, and
he set about his duties, moving along
original lines.
IL the matter of civi!izing poor Lo,
the past has not been prolific of flatter-
ing results. The history of this work
has been ii history of blunders from the
beginning. y generous governme 1T
has bean for years apprOpriating large
sums of money for Indian schools, which
are Only now comm encing to do any
good.
THE OLD METHODS.
Year after year, clothing has been
issued to these Indians, Only to be eX-
changed fer the knickknacks of bar
barism, with Mexican and American
traders. They would not wear the gar
mepts of civilization any longer than
they were forced to do so. They would
not live in the habitatlOn5 OF Civilized
men. Build an Indian house, and
straig htway he would raise under its |
very walls Il teepee after his own ideas
of architecture, which he infinitely |
preferred to the habita ton of his white |
brother. Nest of the. reservations
have managed to keep 30 per cent of
the children at school. Bat what
good did schooling do them.
No sooner did they return to their
tribal relations than the dress of civ
ilization was exchanged for the clout
and the blanket, and the retrograde
commenced. Instead of iu-
the knowledge that they had
among the members of the
5ribe, they almost invariably fell back
nto the old way of living, becoming in
short time, in no way disting Unstable
rom those who had not received
chooling. 1t has been discouragin2
work.
