From the Chautauqua.

The Tsimpseans are composed of the
following tribes The Grow, Bear, Whale,
Frog, Wolf, Beaver and Eagle. Each of
these represents a family or tribe corre-
spending TO the clan Campbells of Scot
land, or the Nakamuras of Japan. Each
tribe has its own crest, as in Japan at
this day. A member of the Wolf tribe
has the wolf Tor its crest, and Bear has
the moon and stars, showing his celestial
origin.
An Indian may not marry one of his
own crest But he may marry into any
other clan excepting an allied tribe. A
Crow may marry into any clan except
the Frog; the Frog into any but the
Crow, the Whale any but the Bear. the
Bear any but the Whale, the Beaver any
but the Eagle, the Eagle any but the
Beaver. and the Wolf, being so different
from all in ancestry, may marry into any
tribe.
Suppose a Wolf marries a Crow woman;
the children are all Crows. They are
named after the mother, not after the
father. In quarrels between two tribes,
as the Wolf and Crow, the children, being
Crows, would be forced to join their
mother against their father, and he would
fight against all Crows, including his own
family.
A Crow is a member of a Crow family,
or crest, to such an extent that when in
a distant village he would sojourn with a
Crow household, and would there be
treated as a veratabe son or brother. II
in the village there were no Crows, then,
as the Frogs are closely allied, he would
go to them and receive the same treat
ment as if he were a Frog. So among
all allied cres.s the same loyalty is main
tained.

whistler in the CIty.
There will be just ten days more Of ball
playing and the season Of 81 will be over.
Baltimore Is still leading by ten points.
Boston has played more games than the
Orioles have and is entitled to some con-
sideratlon for that. New York has drop
ped way down and will not now even finish
a good third. Baltimore and Boston meet
in Baltimore this week and on these
games probably hinge the placing of the
pennant.
Baltimore has Boston and Washington
each for three games at home and New
York for three games in New York Bos-
ton plays Baltimore and Brooklyn away
from home and Brooklyn at home. Should
Boston win two out of Che three games in
Baltimore the Beanealers win probably
out of three to Baltimore 1t will probably
clneh it for the Orioles. Out of the six
games with Brooklyn Boston should win
four Baltimore will lose enc and posi-
bly, two to the Giants but Will probably
take three straights from Washington,
though the Senators may squeeze in
game.
No matter how it is figured, the race
is not yet won OF course, Baltimore has
q good advantage, being ten points in the
lead. and only nine more scheduled games
to play. Boston's chance, however, is
more than fighting one, and Selee's men
may yet win out
Cincinnati is In fourth place, and Cleve-
land next. Washington lost sixth posi-
ton Friday, but got it back yesterday.
Brooklyn is leading the second division,
with Pittsburg, Chicago and Philadelphia
following in the order named. Louisville
is still dropping. The Colonies lost their
grip, and instead of finishing in the first
division, they will end up in what might
be called last place, for really st. Louis
cannot be counted.

A GRAND DRIVE WAY.
she'll Road From st. Augustine to
the Deaf Mute Institute.


st. Augustine, Fla. Sept. 18.-Rev. Fred
eriok Faseo. superintendent of the STATE
Bind ana Deaf-Mute In5:iue, located
Immediately north of St. Augustine, has
been authorized by the state board OF d.
rectors to Apply 500 to the opening and
Smelling Of the roadway from the city to
the institute.
The st. Johns county commissioners
have for years made efforts TO open a di-
rect roadway to the institute, but owing
to desire to keep down taxes this much
desired Improvement has glimmered while
the commss. oners PLACED roads through
the woods.
Two years ago the commissioners. city
council and citizens joined in opening a
roadway from John T. Dismukes resi-
dence, foot of Pine street, and thence
along the river to the institute but one
property owner refused the right of way,
and the plan died But this timely aid
from the state, providing the former Of
fered cooperation of the commissioners,
the city council and citizens. sin holds
good, and especially as the Directing prop
erty owner has sold out, there is no good
reason for not at once making this most
beautiful of contemplated driveways the
established eastern connection of the
speedway around the Horn"
The additional acreage purchased by
Supt. Pasco for the institute lies imme
diately fronting the river and he proposes
that the river driveway shall continue
through it and thus add to the pleasures
of an ''outing-a-w wheel" and also add to
the comfort Of the eighty or mora unfor-
tunate pupils by bringing the institute
out Of the lonesome woods.
As stated in the Morning News on Sept.
1S, Capt. W. II. Hubbell's battery c, First
United States Artillery, goes TO garrison
Fort Moultrie at an early dale. The des
tination for Capt, w. P. Van Ness bat
terry NJ has not yet been decided. but 1t
is probable that il is to garrison Tybee
when quarters there are ready.
Not oniy has this change of garrison
caused extreme regret on the part of the
people, but the ntmation that St Fran
els barracks, for nearly 800 years mill
tary post, VIII be abandoned, is too dis
couraging to contemplate, especially by
the merchants who are used to receiving
from the soldiers a monthly average Of
Sl,0c0 in cash. The loss of the garrison,
financially and socially win be a severe
blow to St Augustine. Efforts will be
made to induce Gen. Miles to have infan-
try stationed here, as he is credited with
reporting "St. Francis barracks an in
fantry and not an artillery post"

HATTIE w. COE,
Died Sept. II, 1897.
Aged 40 Years.

Not hearing from young Mr. Coe on
Sunday, Undertaken Vauderwerken believ-
ed that the young mans brother had de-
cided to have the body of mother kept at
Belmar until Monday. All day Monday
he waited to get further orders regarding
the funeral, but~he waited In vain. Then
he turned his attention to trimming the
casket. When this was done he covered
it with a black shroud and left it in his
shop ready to be used yesterday morning.
Yesterday he sent two of his men to Cy-
press Hills cemetery, where he had pur-
chased a grave for Mrs. Coe, and his men
paid 81 TO have the grave opened. When
his men returned to Williamsburg the I'M
dertaker remarked that 1t was strange
that he had not received message from
young Mr.. Coe.
They may be having trouble with a
Jersey coroner" said the undertaken; 81

DowN.ON THE COMMISSION.
Friends of the Discharged F'iremcn
Resent Their dismissal

Friends of the Discharged FIremcn
Resent Their Dismissal.
The dismissal of Foreman Murphy and
Firemen Flynn and Henderson from the
fire department by the fire commission,
mention of which was made in yester-
days Morning News, has. if possible,
deepened and emblttered the feelings en-
tertained against that body by large
portion OF the citizens. The discharge Is
generally regarded by them as simply
Chief Maguire's revenge for the strong
testimony giv&n against him by these three
men before the investigating committee of
council, and also before the fire commits
sion. The commissioners can rest assur-
ed now that no stone will be left unturned
by their opponents to secure their re-
moval from office.
Mr.. Murphy had not seen as much SER
vice with the fire department as some 9TH
ers of the force, but his record, it is said
was second to none, and his bravery and
skill in fighting fires was widely known.
He first became a member of the depart
ment during Mayor Schwarz's administra-
ton, but after a few months service re-
signed to resume his trade as longshore-
man, being considered an expert at stow
ing cotton. In April, 1899, however. he
rejoined the department and about a year
later was made foreman of the chemical
company No. l, which position he retain
ed until yesterday.
The three discharged firemen We're no.
tilted yesterday of their discharge, ana
their services with the department termi-
mated at 6 o'clock. Fireman j. f. Gull
lum was paced in charge of the chemical
engine, with the operation of which he is

dismissal of the three men are understood

Thomasville, Ca, Sept. 1S.-Rev. DR..
James A. Mckee died at his home in this
city last night at the advanced age Of SIS
years. DR.. Mckee came to Thomasville
some thirty years ago for his health NOV
ing from Ohio. He was always a great
friend to this section, and claimed to have
discovered Thomasville as a health resort.
He influenced many people to visit it and
his long life attests the correctness of his
judgment.
DR. Mckee was a Presbyterian divine
and no one stood higher in the estimation
of his neighbors and fellow citizens for
lofty character or good works.

He found the man Of cakes and bread very
respondent. Said he This prosperity
business is bout to ruin me. Even In my
small business the advance in flour and
. sugar taxes me at least 500 per month
without adding one cent to my sales or
profits. Flour is about 81 per barrel and
sugar a cent and a half per pound higher
than this time last year., while my prod
ucts sell al the same price Cotton and
the products of this section have not felt
the advance. consequently there Is an alb
solute and destructive loss to me- 1t
