Cornplanter. the Seneca Preacher
 The pagan preacher of the Seneca tribe as Edward Cornplanter He is direct de- scend'ant of Gy-Yant-Wah- -Ka, the most uamous of all pagan preachers He is sald to nave s1;en a vision three nights in succession, In which were pointed QUE to nm the true religion and the laws which were t o govern it. There is no doubt that he got them confused with ths various laws of the Christian faith as, even 10 this day, ore can mark the resemblance an many of them. Cornplanter, the pres ent preacher is a man of magnificent physique. He stards feet, 2 inches in his s.ocking feet and is built in propor- tion. He is an athlete in every sense of the word and one of the swiftest runners have ever seen. When taking part in Al, religious dance his costume consists of sash wound around the waist. a pair of leather leggings, and headgear of feathers and beads.
 The chief dances of the Indians are the FeaS. of the First Fruits, the Great Feather Dance and the White Dog Dance At Che first dance thanks are returned to the Great Spirit for the first fruits of the season. These are the strawberries. At the second dance, which takes place in the fall, ths Indian renders thanks for all the fruits of the year. The White Dog Dance is by far the most important of Nne three. IL takeS brace once a year in dhe month of January.
 According to the Indians religion the Great Spirit demands that he be reward ed the sacrifice of something that is very scarce in the tribe. It corresponds to the eucharist in the Christian churches. The dog used is of very rare kind, and is bred especially for this purpose. It is milk white. and is selected as the fitteTt symbol of truth and veneration. The animal is always strangled and never tortured. I have witnessed many of these dances, and have never seen anything repuNsive in them"
 Mrs. Converse's grandfather was adopt- ed by the Seneca Indians in 1792 and her father in 1894. She was adopted by the family of Red Jacket in 1S80 Five years ago she was formally elected a member of the tribe. She has kept up her con TSection with the tribe ever since
 .One of the objects of my visit to the tribe this year" she said. "was to ob- tain a boulder to be placed over the grave of Gen. F.. s. Parker, al Forest Lawn cemetery, Buffalo. Gsn. Parker was an Indian and always clung to the belief and customs of his race. When the Iroquois confederacy was formed there were supposed to exist two ina gin- ary gates. to the league. The east gate was Altany and the west gate was Buff fa1o. Flfty-four sacfems held a council ard appointed a keeper for each one of these doors. Gen. Psrker was chps n keeper of the west door, The General and I were always the clo9sst of friends. He often told me that he did rot care to have any white man dig his grave and he asked me as one of his tribe to bury him in Buffalo. This was accord ingly done. The boulder which I have ordered to be sent to Buffalo was fourd on his wheat farm. It Is four feet in height and of the finest cyanite granite It will be mounted on a pedestal six feet in height" ;t

NOT HELPING PAGANISM Mrs. Converse Says She Doesn't ObStruct Missionary Work. HOW THE STORY STARTED The Indian Religion, She Says, Doesn't Differ Much from Christianity-She Tells of Corn
 planter, the Seneca Preacher.

Mrs Harriet Maxwell Converse, who has just returned from a visit to the On- ondaga Indian reservation near Syra- cuse, denied yesterday that there was any truth in the story that she had used her influence to confirm the Indians in their pagan rites ard to prevent their conversion to Christianity. Mrs. Con verse said the story probably originated in this way: One of the purposes of her visit was to arrange for a council of chiefs, at which matter of importance was discussed with a state official. All of the big chiefs are pagans. and several minor chiefs, who happened to be Christians, were shut out of the confer ence. This exclusion had nothing to do with their religion, however
 ''The accusation" she said, 'is slan- der. I am member of the Episcopal church, and I have never meddled with the rites of the Indians in any way. believe their religion is practically the same as ours. The Indians worship the Great Spirit who is called Ha-we-na-yuh. They do not worship idols and have but one God. They are far better Chris tians than many missionaries. The In- dians have never received anything but harm from the whites. and do not blame him for not trusting them. The effect Of the missionary work is to ere ate jealousy and disorder where love and harmony formerly reigned. I would like very much to send some of my good old righteous pagans down here to Chris tianize some pagans in this city.
 NO matter how small meal is, an Irdtan never s.ts down to it before thank ing the Great Spirit for what he is about to eat. When he has finished he again renders thanks for what he has received. The Seneca Indian is childlike. Her re- ligion has come down to him from gen. eration to genera ton. and he believes in it Ever since De Soto commenced the work of attempting to convert Indians missionaries have been constantly among them They have obtained very poor results, and have only succeeded in ere ating confusion.

 The city council ol Chicago recently passed an ordinance taxing all vehicles in that city, the tax on bicycles being s1 year This law went into effect last Monday. and a telegram, from there has this to say of it: "The bicycle tag, in- stead of being nuisance and an outrage, has turned out to be most attractive and popular fad. The bicycle owners. instead of standing aloof and launching thunderbolts at the taxing ordinance. came around to the city hall and fell over each other to secure tags" The number of tags issued the first day was SS5. 04s -aD-4aa .-=

 There is said to be 100000 wheels in the city of Chicago, and as each of these is taxed $1 per year, the city will raise sS000O0 annually from that source alone. At first there was considerable oppos- ton to the law, but when the owners of the wheels were informed that the reve- nue derived from the tax would be used for the improvement of the streets and for providing bicycle paths they with drew their opposition.

THE WooDpE cKeR,
Four Characteristics Of tho Little Drur&
 mer of the Woods.


 There is all article by Frank M. Chapman in St. Nicholas on "Tha Little Drunimes # the Woods" giving much curious information concerning the woodpecker. Mir Chapman says:
 If we had a woodpecker in our hands. we should sec in the beginning that it's bill is not slightly hooked, with tha upper mandibIe turned down at it's end and overlapping the under mandible, aa in tho crow and other birds that pick up living" but thnt both mandibles arc of equal length and cut squarely off at the tip. It is, therefore, like a wedge or ohisel.
 Perhaps the tip of tho bird tongue will be seen appearing through its near ly closed mandibles, and our attention is at once attracted by its peculiar shape We discover that it is remark ably long, and when fully extended reaches almost if not quite an inch be- yond the point of the bill. It is not fiat, like the crow's, but round and feshy. and has sharp, horny point, which, by looking at it very closely, we see has series of barbs on both sides.
 In the meantime our hands have doubtless been pricked by the birds tail feathers, each feather being stiff, bristly and pointed at the end. Some of the larger woodpeckers-the pileated and ivorybill, for instance-have this singular kind of tail feather highly de- ve1oped The main stem or shaft of the feather is much larger than usual, and each barb growing from this shaft is curved downward and inward and is strong and pointed. Comparing this feather with the flat tail feather of a crow, we sec at once how different it ia in form.
 The wings do not impress us as in any way unusual. They are neither very long nor very short, but the ar- rangement of the toes is so peculiar that they were at once commented upon by blind girl, to whom I had handed specimen of one of these birds. h. stead of the disposition common to most birds, three toes directed forward and one backward, we discover two front toes and two hind ones, and we will note also that each toe is armed with 8 strong curved nail.

ANnAPPEAI FOR CHARITY.

The ladies of the United Benevo- lent Association have issued an appeal to our citizens for eontribu- tions to their Christmas charity fund. This appeal should be needed by all our citizens. The ladies of this organization are doing a noble work "a labor of love and true charity and in their efforts they should have the liberal support of all benevolent and charitably inclined people. This Association is doing their work in an organized way, and their charity
 is not misplaced, but is discharged in , careful and systematic manner. We are informed that there are over twenty families in this city in need, whose daily wants are supplied by the bounty of this association, and that unlesss the treasury or commis- sary of the association is replenished
 that there will be twenty families in
 this city whose Christmas will be
 very dreary and desolate one. Therefore, every citizen who is in possession of the ordinary comforts of life should generously donate a share of his store to supply the necessities of the poor and needy.
 Anything can be contributed money, food, clothing dolls old toys -anythiHg that will go into the home of the poor to bring joy. All contributions should be sent to s. II. Zoller's store by Thursday evening from which place all donotions will be distributed by Mir. Zoller and the
 Ladies Benevolent Association.

INVASION OF WASHINGTON.
Admiral Cockburn's British Soldiers Loot
 ed and Fired the Public Buildings.

Admiral Cockburn's British Soldiers Loot
 ed and Fired the Public Buildings.
 The last glimmer of twilight was fading away when (after the battle at Bladensburg, two miles distant from Washington) into the well nigh desert. ed city rode the redoubtable CockburB at the head of his band of marauders, ," writes Clifford Howard in The Ladies' Home Journal of the invasion and burn- ing of our national capital by the Brit ish forces under Admiral Cockburn in August, 1874. "Elated at their decisive victory over force nearly twice as large as their own and thirsting for spells, the red coated soldiers marched triumphantly toward the capitol. Dis charging their firearms at the windows, the soldiers burst in the doors and with shout of triumph carried their leader to the speaker s chair, from which, with mock gravity, he put the question, Shall this harbor of the Yankee demoo. raey be burned?' A yell of affirmation rang through the hall, and without fur ther preliminaries papers and other combustibles were piled under the desks huu SUI ou lfS. III I5W lHluubeb IRtS noble edifioe that had been in course of construction more than 20 years and containing the library of congress and vast quantities of official documents of great historical value was destroyed
 "Now thoroughly aroused to their work of plunder, bowling crowd of the desperate marauders hurried to the White House in the hope perchance of capturing the president and his wife. Finding the house locked and deserted, they battered down the doors, and, con- soling themselves for the loss of their distinguished captives by ruthless de- struction of the furniture, they raided the larder and regaled themselves with hastily prepared feast in tAs state dining room. Then, destroying tho re- maining provisions and breaking and mutilating whatever they could readily lay their hands on. they concluded their visit by setting fire to the home of tho presidens. Numerous other public and private buildings were also destroyed by fire. s'
