just before the boat left for Boston and
he had receipted for 1t. When the Bay
State reached Boston the following morn
ing the package containing the $4,000 dis.
appeared and where it went to no one
seems to be able to tell.
The Princes Express Company hire of
the Portland Steam Packet Company
certain amount OF space for freight pur-
poses and state room for its messenger.
This stateroom is situated on the hurri-
cane deck of the boat and Is occupied all
the year round by the express messenger
who sleeps in the room alone. The state

and in this safe the pouch or bag con-

The $4,000 package was received by the
Princes Express company from the Ca
madam Express company, SO it is under
stood, and was from some bank on the
line of the Grand Trunk railroad for a
bank in Boston to pay draft. Just
what banks these were Or any other infor-

not be learned last night.
Messenger Lewis is about 80 years old
and has heen in the employ of the COM

age of money among other valuable
packages on Tuesday night and placed
them in the bag he is provided with by
the company. When he reached the boat
the bag was placed in the safe.so the mes
senger says, and the safe was locked.
When the Bay State got to Boston the
messenger says he went to look for the
package and could not find it.
This is all that could be learned about
this case last night. The manager of
Princes Express company does not deny
that some money has been lost or stolen.
but has nothing to say about the
case. From other and reliable sources
the above facts we're obtained. A Boston
detective is in Portland at work on this
case and Ia assisted by the Portland po-
lica.

THE MEANING OF ALABAMA.
What Is known COmecrning the De-
riVation of the Name of the state.
From the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register
There has always been dispute regarding
the meaning Of the name of this state. The
name itself is derived from the name of
the Alabamos tribe of Indians. a branch
OF the Muscogee or Creek tribe either by
blood relationship or by conquest and sub
sequent adoption by the Creeks, and there
Is a popular legend that the name was
taken from an expression used by the
chief of the tribe upon the entry OF the
tribe upon the lands now called by this
name. Finding the land good and the
climate inviting, the chief Is said TO have
exclaimed: Here we rest" From this
the tribe came 20 be called the Alabamos.
This story has been objected TO on the
ground that 1t is not reasonable that a
tribe should change its name because OF
such an incident in its history. 1t must
nave mad name at the time of it's migra-
tlon' ana name rendered dear TO the
tribe by its wanderings If by no other ex-
perience' Besides, the students Of the
language fail 10 agree that this word has
the precise meaning tradition gives It.
Gatschet, for example, translates It to
! mean wood clearers," deriving the name
from the Choctaw.
Anything that adds to our meagre store
OF Information on this subject Is accepta-
Bile, ana now we have offered us something
additional. 1t is reported by Dabney White.
in a letter to the Houston Post. He tells of
the remnant of the tribe of the Alabamos
now living in Polk county, Texas, which
people preserve their language, traditions,
and many of their ancient practices. II an
pears from Whites letter that a woman
missionary, named Syvestine, has lived
for many years with the tribe and has col
lected vocabulary of the Alabamos Ian.
guage. She speaks the tongue well and is
said TO be well acquainted with their his
tory and traditions. White says he aided
the missionary in the preparation of the
vocabulary and nowhere in the language
could be found a word or combination of
words sounding like Alabama that could
be twisted into the meaning Here we
rest"
In the absence of other evidence Il Is
though more reliance can be put upon
the tradition now held by the tribe on the
subject than upon that which has been
handed down through the medium Of the
whites. The Indians say they derive their
name from a popularity of the trlbe-the
celebration Of the mulberry festival, GUS
tom not observed bye any other tribe In
their language the combination Of the
words 'ala-behe-amo" literally means
people that gather mulberres." From this
combination of words ALA bama" is deriv-
ed. To substantiate their belief, It is gener-
ally known that every Indian tribe gets its
name from some idiosyncrasy of its mem
bers. THOUSANDS of mulberry trees are an
their home village In Texas, and they are
cherished with more devotion than we
cherish the survivors Of the ancient Zee
dars of Lebanon"
The evidence Is not conclusive OF the
question raised, but 1t is of more than us
ual interest as bearing directly upon it and
perhaps making easier Its final solution.

CAPE HORN INHABITANTS,
PataeOnians who Are Fleet of Foot
and Fine Marksmen.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript
II may be as well to refer to some other
tribes about Cape Horn which attracted
the attention of Prof Hatcher. For ex-
ample may be mentioned the Yahgans.
who live nearer to the south pole than
any other known people. They occupy
certain small Islands lying south of Terra
del Fuego and are found also on the
south beach OF that great island itself.
The territory they occupy Is a maze of
mountain peaks and the conditions under
which they exist are almost beyond re-
alization by a civilized person.
The typical weapon of the Yahgans Is
the rawhide sling, with which they are
able to hit a water fowl at 200 yards. To
hit any bird at that distance would be
called right good shooting. They can
knock down and stun a guanaco with a
heavy round pebble up 20 100 yards The
reason for the sling as a tool of destruc-
ton Is found in the fact that the Yahgans
live on the beach, where plenty of round
pebbles are always at hand. These island
ers fry out oil from whale blubber and
store Il up for future use in the bladder
like leaves of a kind of seaweed found
everywhere in that region.
Quite distinct and peculiar is the Ona
tribe, which inhabts the prairie region in
Terra del Fuego. This great island has
the shape Of a triangle and is almost as
large as the state of New York. Once
upon time II must have had a tropical
climate, inasmUch as the bones Of mon
keys and parrots are found fossil there
in great numbers. ~
The Onas have no horses. They eat
those they capture from the sheep men,
considering horse meat the greatest OF
delioacies. They depend for food chiefly
upon the guanacO, which abounds IN
Terra del Fuego and kind OF prairie
squirrel In the chase they rely mainly
upon bows and arrows and the bolas, the
later consisting Of two or three stone
balls on the end OF hide thongs. on being
thrown the balls diyerge In obedience to
centrifugal force and ny around and

when the thongs wind themselves about
