STUDYING THE INDIANS.
Work of Dr. Boaz and DR.. Ferrand
In British Columbia
Trying to Ascertain Origin OF Coast
Indians and Whether They Are
Connected with the ASH
attic Coast.

DR.. Franz Boaz who for ten years has
been making n study of British Column
bia Indians for the British association
and who also heads the expedition
which the American museum of natural
history sent out last spring. is again
In Victoria. B. c., with DR.. Farraud. who
is also engaged in the work of collect
ing information about the Indians. He
came down from the north on the steam
or Tees.
Since last year the two scientists have
covered an immense territory, first GO
Ing to the interior of the province and
then coming out to the northern coast.
The work in the north was largely de-
voted to the physical types of the alb
origines and measurements, casts and
photographs were taken, which will be
the subject of later investigation. DR..
Farrand made n study of the customs
and traditions of the Chilkat Indians
at Port Essngton. DR.. Boaz paid par
ticular attention to the art, paintings
and carvings of Indians, cndcavoring to
fathom their meaning. While ut Rivers
Inlet study of the native language was
made. At Bella Bella Mr.. Farrand gath
cred much information rs to serial or
ganization and family history. Incl
dentally, II number of specimens were
secured, but information was what was
principally sought. The work done in
the interior was n continuation of the
work of the British association. which
they have been carrying on since 1857,
when DR.. Boaz made his first visit. while
that on the coast was prosecuted for the
American museum of natural history
at New York, Morris X. Jessup. presi-
dent OF the museum, bearing the cost.
The idea is TO ascertain the origin of
the coast Indians and whether any re-
lationship exists between them and ma
tives of the Asiatic coast.
Study will be made of Indians from
the Columbia river to Behring straits
aud down along the Asiatic coast to
lower Siberia. From what is known of
the traditions and customs of natives
of the two coasts, DR.. Boaz is convinced
that they are related, and that the first
Indians on this side of the Pacific came
from Siberia.
The scientists will be there again next
summer and probably for many sum-
mcrs more before the vast field is GOV.

The hold-up artists are still pursuing
their hazardous industry in the residence

Tuesday night DIR. Victor Rendon, who
resides at S41ia Grand avenue, was return
ing home, in company with his wife, when
about 1890, shortly after Tenth street had
been passed, they were suddenly con-
fronted by tall man, who proceeded TO
point a revolver at the doctors head
Without any delay or ceremony, the doc
tor, who carried heavy cane, applied it
to the villains head. The action was so
rapid and unexpected that the thief swift
ly took to his heels. He was promptly
followed by a companion, who had in the
meantime approached from behind. pistol
in hand, but he, too, was dispatched by
DR.. Rendon in the same manner as the
first, not before, however, he had hit the
doctor a number of blows on the head with
the latter's stick. which had been dropped
in the scuffle. Meanwhile Mrs. Rcndcn,
although rendered highly nervous with the
excitement, nevertheless stood calamity
by her husband. The matter has been laid
in the hands of the police, but so far the
malefactors have not been located. One
of them had black handkerchief tied over
his face, concealing every feature but hts
eyes, at the time of the attempted assault.

Eaurteen Millions Left tn C Ii aritx

An eminent clergyman, member of many
benevolent associations, has prepared COM
parative tables showing the amount of
money left for charitable or benevolent
purposes by testators throughout the
United States during the past three years.
He finds that the bequests for 1897 are
81 900, 900 in excess of those of 1896. In the
former year they were upward of $13.-
900, 900, in 1897 more than s14, 100000. Benefi-
cence has other forms than that of money.
Great remedies are among the most pre-
cious legacies bequeathed to mankind.
Prominent among these is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, most effective rene
dy for and preventive of malaria which
often battles other curatives. Equally
efficacious is the bitters in cases of dys-
pepsia. constipation. rheuma tism, nervous
