Quaint Superstition.

About wedding and betrothal rings
there are many quaint superstitions,
says The Standard Designer. Centuries
ago the wedding ring was placed, as
now, upon the fourth finger of the left
hand-the thumb being always counted
as the first-for the reason. as some
ancient manuscripts assert, that a
nerve was supposed to reach from this
finger to the heart. The shape of the
ring, too, was cs special import, the
plain circlet, having neither beginning
nor end. signifying eternal fidelity
while the gold of which it is made sig
nifies purity. The betrothal ring of the
ancient Egyptians was made of iron,
indicating sacrifice Of liberty.

Educntiny the Indian,

Captain R. H. Pratt, Tenth United
States Cavalry, superintendent of the
Indian industrial school at Carlisle, Pa,
has sent out the fourteenth annual re-
port of the school. 1t is most interest
ing document, and shows the remark
able progress the pupils are making in
civilized life. There were at the school
during the year 762 pupils, 425 of them
males and 337 females. They repre-
scented 68 tribes, or nations, and the
tribal representation varied from l to
101, the Chippewas showing the great
est number The fchool has grown
steadily. and Captain Pratt says:
.@The tapi5 with its sixty-eight names
of different tribes, each representing
different language, shows that this
school is exceptional, not o2ly for the
United States, but for the world l
venture the assertioa that in no other
institution in existence are there as
many different nationalities. and Ian
suages as are gathered here, with the
obpect of moulding all into one people
speaking one language, and with aims
and purposes in unison with the civil
izatlon of the day and it's government.
There is no liable of confusion, nor dis
advantage, educationally, in such di-
verse aggregation On the contrary, the
conditions are most excellent Ter for
warding the purpose Of the school, and
giving common language, unity and
loyalty of thought and effort. All our
experience proves that the more indi-
viduals from the various tribes can be
associated together and the more inn
mediate the contact of all with the
better element of the white race, the
more rapidly and thoroughly do our
educational and civiliEing efforts ac-
eomplish their purpose"

MR.. HASKELL ACQUITTED.

The jury in the case of the State VS..
VIM. E. Haskell of Minneapolis, in
dicted for criminal libel, returned a
verdict of not guilty last Friday af-
ternoon. COL Haskell is editor of the
Minneapolis Times. In July last he
caused to be published in his paper an
affidavit of Capt. F. B. Hart, at that
time an officer of the insclvent Guar
anty Loan company, charging the
Minneapolis Trust Co., the assignee
of the Loan company, with having
shamefully sold certain securities
known as the West Pullman second
mortgage bonds, to members of an
Eastern syndicate, and stockholders
of the Trust company, at the extreme
ly low price.of 10 cents on the dollar.
The bonds we're among the most valu
able assets of the Loan company, and
it appears that the Minneapolis Trust
company had been offered 60 cents on
the dollar for them by parties outside
of that company. The Hart affidavit
went deep into the fraud on this tran
saction, and The Times company
caused an editorial to be published on
the same day, severely denonncing the
officers of the Trust company, for the
outrageous transaction or stealing of
money belonging to creditors of the
Loan company. Samuel Hill, son-in-
law of James J. Hill, was President of

anything in return for their expendit-

as soon as he received his reply from
Gomez, Blanco left for Manzapillo,
fully satisfied that there was no use
trying to bride the Cuban commander
in-chief. Garcia spurned the bride,
also, but Rabi was not given the op-
portunity. 1t appears that the Cub
an superior officials had learned that
Rabi was weakening, and Garcia at
once reduced him in the ranks, and a
brother was shot for treating with the
enemy.
From the latestf Cuban advices it
seems that the old Cuban fighter, Co.
mez, is correct n:his letter, wherein
he tells Blanco that of the two Blanco
needs a ship to transport him from

the company, and he talked about
cutting Haskell's heart out and eating
it after the publication was made. The
directors of the Trust company, in
Guiding leading or prominent men of
Minneapolis, had the Times company
indicted three times, one as the COM
pany, another as w. E. Haskell and
another as John Blanchard, for Grim
inal libel in connection with the pub
LEGATION.
The Minneapolis Times met the case
squarely. Col. Haskell asked for a
speedy trial, but the Trust company,
represented by the State, kept post
poning the matter, but finally the
Times company succeeded in having
the date of trial fixed. 1t commenced
in December. At the commencement
the indictment against the Times COM
pany was dismissed for the reason
that corporation could not commit a
criminal act. Then came the trial of
COL Haskell, editor-in- chief of the pa
per, and this trial has dragged out ov-
or six weeks of time, ending in an ac-
quittal last Friday. During the trial
The Minneapolis Trust Co. was con-
tinually on trial. It's business affairs
were dug up, and the attorneys for
Col. Haskell showed that they we're
rotten to the core. The West Pullman
bond deal was shown to be a STEAL
and all that the editorial charged. The
criminality was on the side of the Min
neapolis Trust Co. and not the Min
neapolis Times Co. The officers, d.
rectors and stockholders of the former
we're on the witness stand and showed
a wanton disregard for the truth by
failing to remember many things they
undoubtedly knew, but did not care to
tell. Only one or two of them knew
anything at all about the affairs.
The victory is another victory for
the people against crowd of men
who band themselves together into
corporation and allow crime to run
rampant for the sake of gain. It is
victory for the people, represented by
the Minneapolis Times, against COM
pany swindling the creditors of anoth-
or company,..of which it was assignee
or receiver. Justice did not miscarry
here.
The verdict of acquittal makes the

existence. Its, fame spread, and stran-
gers who heard about it wrote for in
formation concerning it; sometimes
tried it virtues and sometimes put a
trial off for a more convenient season.
To tell how it was dragged from an OBJ

purpose.
lie was in the water where it was
not much over five feet deem. when bo
went TO the bottom. and did not again
come to the top. The boat was.near
ana frank put an oar down being
thoroughly alarmed, but Winfield did
not touch it.
Some boys We're upon the shore. and
one swan out, diving got the body to
the shore, where it was seen that he
was dead.
The boys went to the camp where l..
l.. Cooper and Charles Downing of this
city, were stopping. and told them of
the accident. They at once went in
their canoe to the place, and worked
over the body for a long time, trying
every means to get some signs of life
that there might be more of chance
of saving him when the doctors ar
rived, as the boys had been sent for
one, but it was all to no avail, and not
once was even the slightest flutter of
the heart visible. Doctors Frederick
and Taggart arrived later, and they
think death was due to heart disease
as he was subject to that trouble.
The body was brought to this city
to Plummer & Morril's undertaking
rooms, late in the evening.
The young man was IS years old, and
had resided in the city with his mother
and her family. during the past four
years, previous to which they lived in
Windsor He was brother of the late
Allan Haskell. who was drowned five
years ago at Parker's Head, by the
capsizing of a sailboat. Three other
brothers Charles, Fred and Frank and
sister, Mrs. Orin Douglass, all liv-
ing in this city survive him. besides his
mother who is a widow.
Mrs. Haskell was unconscious. last
evening. as the shock upon learning of
the disaster. was too great for her.
Winfield was an attendant at the
Methodist church and a member of the
Good Templars. being considered a
model young man, and very popular.
He had been employed in Russell q
Westons store for nearly two years.
