How They study, Play and Dress-Odd
Features OF school Life.
II Is not improbable that of all their
studies, the almond-eyed youngsters of
China find writing the most enjoyable. They
use a small brush instead Of pen and daub
on the ink with a lavlshness dear to the
Juvenile heart. They write one letter over
another till the page is as black as a cook
ing stove, and the copy-books become so
wet that II is necessary to hang them over
the fence to dry. A comical sight, truly,
and one which proclaims to the passerby
his proximity TO a school house. 1t may be
remarked that blotting paper is unknown in
the Flowery Land,
There are no public schools In China, or.
indeed school houses OF any kind, But the

In Germantown, Pa, there is a youngster
IL years old who sits at the head OF the
table and says grace whenever his father
is away. Recently his mother gave a ladies'
luncheon. The boy, having been forewarned,
appeared in the dining room In his most
brilliant toilet and taking his seat, hushed
the feminine chatter and annoyed his mother
not little by assuming a tremendously
solemn look and, extending both hands over
the board, in imitation of a clergyman pro-
nouncing a benediction. Then he chanted,
not in his clear, childish treble, but in bass
tones, a string OF unintelligible syllables,
which occupied nearly FIVE minutes His
mother rebuked him severely, for 1t seemed
to her that he was trying to turn her ladies'
luncheon into ridicue He became very
angry at the rebuke. He had anticipated,
instead many expressions of surprise and
congratulation. The grace he explained, was
in Latin. He had learned it from his tutor.
Nobody here understood 1t but me and
God" he concluded, scornfully.

The recent action of Governor Tanner of
Illinois in regard to the negro workmen i'm
ported to work in the Virden mines recalls
the fact that when General John NJ. Palmer
brought home from Tennessee a young negro
servant his townsmen tried to compel him to
send the boy back. Palmer dehed prosecu-
tion and made fuss which led to the repeal
OF the anti-negro law. 1t was to General
Palmer. as he faced a committee which
waited upon him, that John Hay referred in
his poem on "Banty Tim"

INDIANS ARE SULLEn.
CHIEF CHAVENEAUx Is TRYING
TO FoMENT TROUBLE.
His Followers Refuse to Work Any
More and Threaten to Go On the
Warpath-sun Dance Wednesday.

Vernal, June cit has been learned
that another cause of the discontend
that has been manifest among the In
dams on the lower agency lately, CHIEF
among whom is Charley Chaveneaux
arises from the expressed intention OF
Agent Cornish to revise the rolls.
As is 10 doubt the case on all reser-
VailonS, there are great many dead
injuns' drawing rations. When an In
dian dies his name is not stricken from
the roll, as one might naturally sup
pose, and his annuity continues to be
paid to the tribe.
As it is a well known fact that the
Utes are rapidly decreasing in numbers,
1t is readily understood that the sur
Viying members of the tribe will fare
better as they become fewer. if they
continue to draw rationS and annuitieS
for the original number.
From what can be learned it seems
that the agent expressed the intention
of correcting this state of affairs, which
angeIed old ChaveneauX and his fol-
lowers, and they propose to call halt
III the march OF Indian civilization I'M
til The matter is settled satisfactorily
They refuse to do any more work
end say they viii fight, if necessary,
10 maintain their position in the mat
ter 1t is not believed. however, that
the matter viii get beyond ugly looks
and actions, as the Indians realize the
hopelessness Of their making much re-
sistance.
Inasmuch as the same state of affairs
as pertains to the rolls is supposed to
exist on other reservations, it is the
opinion Of a great many people, among
them some Of the agency officials. that
t1e re7 sion should be made general or
rot at all. as to enforce it in one case
and not in another looks like partial
ity to the Indians, and that is the way
they view it.
Other advices from the reservation
state that the Indians at the upper
agency arc making great preparations
for the big sun dance" next Wednes-
Gay.
Formerly this dance was observed
with g eat ceremony, and was attend
ed by many exhibitions of wild bar
barism. Whipping themselves and
slashing their flesh with knives was
some of the milder features of the
dance. These little eccentricities are
now forbidden by the agency officials,
and the sun worship will no doubt be
confined to any amount of whooping
and whirling TO the racket of the tom
toms.
There will be several Vernaltes over
TO view the ceremony and take items

TWO CHILDREN POISONED.
Found By Indians In Commissions
Had Eaten Wild Parsnips.

Vernal June 6.-R. c. Camp, who re-
turned last night from a trio 70 the
reservation, brings the news that two
children were poisoned through eating
wild parsnlps rear White Rocks last
Saturday, one case proving fatal, while
the other was a close call.
The facts. as learned by Mr.. Camp
are as follows: David Taylor aged
about y years, and Mary Pike, aged IL
were found by Indians a short distance
below White Rocks in violent convul-
sicEs. They were Immediately taken to
the agency, where the boy died in a
short time. By administering emetics
the girls life was saved by a narrow
margin. It was learned from her that
they had been eating the parspips
which grow along the creek below the
agency, being entirely ignorant of their
deadly nature.
There was considerable excitement
over the affair, particularly among the
Indians, who, in their superstitious
way, view with suspicion anything they
do not thoroughly understand, as in
this case To them the affair is mys-
ferrous.
The boy David was a half breed. his
father being white; the girl Mary was a
quarter breed, her father being white
ana her mother a half breed. David
was bright, intelligent boy, and
thought much Of about the agency. 1t
is thought the girl Mary will now re-
cover.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Prospects of a Heavy Wheat Crop
Sent Prices Down.

Chicago, June 9.-The chief factors in
wheat at the start were the upward move
ment in Liverpool and the continued rains
in this country. Some of the early cables
from Liverpool quoted July nearly cents
per buShel higher, with September also
stronger This gave the bulls here con-
siderable encoura cement and at the same
time caused shorts some alarm The
rains in the winter wheat belt continue
and as the harvest is near at hand trad
erS began to fear n wet harvest. so that
shorts were inclined to cover and there
was also some disposition TO take the long
side of turn. On the other side OF the
account were the following pieces of in
formation: The Kentucky state crop re-
port gave the condition of wheat at 1.O4
which was said to be the highest ever re-
corded in Kentucky. Thomas s June crop
report gave conditions Indicating a total
crop of winter and spring wheat of I'M
precedented magnitude. 1l5,OO,COO bushels
being the estimate from the present out
look. The market became gradually
heavy as the session progressed. the bear
ish feeling being encouraged by the pros
pective harvesting of an immense crop
and the early advance was lost. Letter
brokers were heavy sellers of September
at the decline. At the present rate of
shipment the contracting grade in store
will soon be less than 100000. This caused
a great deal of strength to July. AT the
close July was &c lower and September
1SsM112 cents lower.
The excessive rains in the corn belt
caused prices to rule strong in spite of
the heavineSs in wheat. July closed &c
higher.
Sympathy with corn and unfavorable
crop reports caused strong market in
oats. July closed $d5sc higher.
The selling pressure in provisions was
apparently relieved and there was buying
by packers who have been sellers hereto
fore this month. The close showed adj
vanceS all around % cents in pork and
III cents each in lard and ribs.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

MISRULE In PHILIPPINES.
English Capitalists Want America to
Retain Possession.

Copyright. 1898. by the Associated Press
London, June 1.-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press.)-Whatever may
be the policy of the United States to-
ward the Philippine Islands, the Eng
lish capitalists whose investments there
give them the right to speak with au-
thority upon the conditions and needs
of the islands are of one mind. Delega-
tons of London men representing some
of the most important interests in the
Philippines have called upon Ambassa-
dor Hay to urge him to make repre-
sensations to his government of their
desire that the United States retain
permanent possession of the Philip
pines They are agreed in the belief
that with the guaranty of a stable
government the Philippines would be-
come a richer and even more desirable
possession than they now are. They
are agreed also that the Spanish rule
is one which discourages business en-
terprise and repels capital, and that the
legitimate profits of their business are
mostly absorbed by direct and indirect
brides to Spanish officials.

His Impressions.

j. H Meredith. of battery A, dated
June 6, at San Francisco. Among other
things, Mr.. Meredith says:
I'VE expect to sail some time this
week. The mission we are on is a very
uncertain one, but I can honestly as
sure you there is not a quake of fear,
but an anxiety to push forward and
accomplish our purpose There is but
one apprehension, and that is our foe
may be conquered before we have a
chance TO have a finger in the pie. Two
years, to look ahead, is quite a while
to be separated from those near and
dear, but when we take into considera-
ton our cause, humanity and peace, the
sacrifice is small. We fully realize
some of US may never return, but what
does that matter if we succeed in keep
ing old glory floating as an angel of
mercy, to succor and shelter the OBJ
pressed?'

Utah boys have been complimented,
not only physically, but as the best
