THE PASSING IHRONG.

A very charming CUES. OF the Eotel
Northern is Miss Lille Compla!nville. a
member OF the Neg PIERCE tribe. who has
just completed a five years course OF STUDY
at the government Indian school at Car
Isle Pa. Miss Compainville received a
Post-Inte,hgencer reporter in the pariors
of the hotel last evening. She looked very
pretty in 4 travelling gown OF dark blue
serge. her wavy. black hair drawn back
from a high, intellectual forehead. Miss
Complainville speaks excellent English and
is entirely an interesting person. There
are now so or more Indians at the Carlisle
school. representing al least sixty tribes.
scattered throughout the whole OF the
United States. The age for admission
ranges from TO 50 years, none being re-
ceived under or over those ages. II is COM
pulsory on the part Of the pupil TO remain
at the school for five years. Mss Com
plainville said:
'.For the greater part they are very well
contented with their surroundings and their
life though the new scholars as you can
easily imagine, sometimes become dread
fully homesick. II is in the summer months
when the longing for the freedom or then
former lie. the wide freedom of the native
plains and hills. comes upon them most.
and think that then some OF them would
give up-Oh, very great deal-to be back
among their people again. But you cannot
wonder at that very much. because II Is all
SO different. and they must be given time
TO adopt the new ways and learn to like
thelife which is so opposite TO everything
they have ever known. Gradually they do
come to take it up. and become very con-
tent.
AT Carlisle the boys are taught. besides
the elementary studies, crafts OF al kinds.
and some OF the more ambitious are now
taking a finishing course In Dickinson COL
lege. The girls, aside from their books. are
taught dressmaking, cooking. nursing and
teaching. Often they remain after th.sr
course is finished to teach In the school,
and believe they make excellent teachers.
The boys find their recreation In football
and other athletic games They also have
a band. and some OF them have become
quite good musicians"

with her people in Idaho.
Staying ait the Hotel Butler Is Mr.. F.. s.
Doernbacher. president of the Doernbacher
Manufacturing Company, of Chehals.
When a Post-Intelligencer reporter asked
Mr. Doernbacher why the gold fever had
not struck him yet, he replied. smilingly:
1T has. My brother-in-law. whom l grub
staked. Is now operating in the vicinity OF
Dawson and Ia doing splenGidly. ] am now
figuring on the cost of sending thirty-five
tons of furniture to Dawson To stock a
branch store. which will be under the SUI
pervision of my hrother-in-law, of whom
spoke. l understand from him that some
OF our furniture which found It's way into
Dawson sold for a very satisfactory price,
and as there is nothing in the line of a
furniture establishment in the Dawson re-
gion. we have decided TO supply the de-
mand. We shall ship the thirty-five tons
of stock as = starter. via St. Michael, by
the Seattle & Yukon Transportation Com
pany. They will go knocked down COM
plete."
Superintendent OF Provincial Police F.
G.. Hussey is in the city from Victoria. a
guest at the Hotel Butler. 'War news
in Victoria is as eagerly read as In Seat
tie" he said yesterday. THE dispatches
are closely scanned by every one, and the
greatest interest is felt in the welfare of
the American armies and fleets and in the
success of the American arms. All this is
perfectly natural. Americans and Cana
dams have been brought c.ose together in
this war. You have many citizens of
Canadian birth on this side OF the line:
we have many Americans on the other
side or in the mining countries of the Do
minion Of Canada. You can depend upon
it. the sympathy OF the Canadians is with
America in this war. We were rejo!ced
at the magnificent victory won at Manila
by Admiral Dewey and we shall be happy
with you when the war "a terminated and
the Americans have triumphed in the bat
tie for free government"
