TO RELEASE WHITE BIRD.
japanese Custom to Be Observed in
Launching the Kasagi

Washington, Jan. 12-When the Jap
anese cruiser Kasagi is launched from
Cramps yards at Philadelphia the
goth inst. a white dove of peace will
take the place of the traditional bottle
of champagne. Hereby hangs a stO-
~.
The Japanese minister in Washing
ton, desiring to extend every courtesy
to the American government, invited
Miss Helen Long, daughter of the sec
rotary of the navy, to christen the ship.
Miss Long accepted, but when the sec
rotary heard of the affair he offered
some objections, not to having his
daughter officiate, but to the use of a
bottle of wine as a part of the ceremo-
MES.
Secretary Long is a temperance man.
Thereupon the Japanese minister with
ready wit, found a way out of the trou-
Bile.
He suggested that instead of the tra-
ditiOnal bottle of champagne to be bro
ken over the cruisers bows, resort
should be had to the Japanese custom
of releasing a white bird. To this sug-
gestiOn Secretary and Miss Long en-
Enthusiastically responded, and it is there
fore settled that when the Kasagi be-
gins to slide down the ways, a white
pigeon shall be liberated by the hand
of the young lady.
Probably this will be the first time a
ship was ever formally christened in
the United States without the use of
a bottle of wine at the critical mo-
ment

HORSE FAMINE PREDICTED
American Live Stock Feeders and
Breeders Meet at st. Paul.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 1.-THE conven-
ton of the American Live Stock Feed
ers and Breeders is in session here.
There were fully 200 delegates in the
hall
Mayor Doran and Gov. Clough greet
ed the convention. F. ]. Berry of Chi
cago, ~ an address on 1.-The Export
Horse-HOw to Breed gave it as his
opinion as we'll as that of expert horse
men everywhere that this country will
soon witness a horse famine. The ruin
Gus prices of the past few years had
driven farmers and breeders out of
business.
In the states which had long been ia
NOUS for their fine horses, the number
of first class animals was One-tenth of
what it was before the fall in prices.
1t was now the hardest kind of work
to pick up the best class of horses. In
the meantime the foreign demand for
American horses was growing. All
the markets were crowded with for
eigners looking for first class animals.
The American horse industry would
soon be foremost among the branches
of agriculture if the farmers would give
it attention. 1t lies within the power Of
horse breeders in this country to Gull
tivate the foreign demand for the
American horse until it builds up
trade which could never be taken away
from them and in which millions of
money might ne Ilau6- Tie QlQ not dQ-
wise every farmer to go into horse
raising, but for those who had the
necessary education and fancy for that
branch of stock raising, it was a most
promising field.
Five classes of horses were in de-
mand for exports:
First-A we'll bred coach horse.
SecOnd-A cab horse.
Third-The omnibus horse.
Fourth-The draught horse.
Fifth-The American trotter
The address was followed by a dis
cussion.
Theodore Schumeier of St Louis was
chosen president; T. F. B. Sutham,
ChilIicothe, Mo, first vice president;
Prof T. I. Lyons of the Nebraska ex-
pertinent station, second vice presi-
dent; D. r. McGinnis, St. Paul, secre-
tary; DR.. S. c. Currier of Mankato and
Prof. Shepherd of North Dakota, as
sistant secretaries.
w. P Anderson of Chicago present
ed a resolution calling for a closer in
spection of imported horses, and it was
adopted.

A Seductive Weed.

In southern Arizona the Jail and prison
officials have their hands full in trying to
prevent the smuggling into their institu-
tions of the seductive mariguana. This is
kind OF "Ioco" weed, more powerful
than opium. It grows from seed by cult
walton in southern Arizona and in Mex
leo. 1t is a dangerous thing for the unin
itiated to handle, but those who know its
uses say it produces more ravishing
dreams than opium. The Mexicans mix
it with tobacco and smoke it in cigarettes,
inhaling the smoke When used in this
way, it produces a hilarious spirit in the
smoker that cannot be equaled in any 9th
sr form of dissipation When struggled
inside the prison walls, its devotees readily
pay 81 an ounce for it. But free men buy
it on the outside fer 90 cents an ounce.

sQuAw CLUB IN MAINE.
Wives of Tarqatine Indians Organize
the WG-ba-nn-ki.


Wa-ba-na-ld is the name of a wom-
ans club in Maine. All the members
of this organization are squaws and
belong to the Tarratine tribe, the rem
nant of which lives on Indian island,
in the Penobscot river, opposite Ban
cor. The members are nearly all pure
Indians, but not the kind of greasy
old women, with red shawls over their
stout shoulders, and odors more numer-
Gus than pleasant emanating from their
bodies. A picture of the Tarratine type
hangs in the reception room of the Tar
ratine club in Bangor, and is dedicated
to the red and unwrinkled dame who
posed for it-Molly Molasses-who died
at the modest age of 100 years, accord
ing to the tradition on Indian island.
There are other squaws as dark of
skin, eyes and hair, but graceful, self
possessed, agile in movement, fluent in
speech, and who speak pure English.
Prominent among this class is Mrs.
Martha Nicolar, of Old Town or, more
properly speaking, of Indian island.
She is the wife of one of the leading
men of his tribe, Horace Nicolar, and is
the first president of the Wa-ba-na-Ai
club, of which a dozen of her Tarratine
sisters form the membership.
Mrs. Nicolar, the clubs first presi-
dent, is descendant of high Indian
blood, while her husband comes from
equally pure Tarratine stock. The Soc
cabasins came straight down from old
Peter SOCIALISM,, who, at the age of
log, wandered away from the island and
persisted in the great north woods be-
fore he could be found. 10 Nicolar, an
other father of club women, was the
historian of his tribe, and a constant
opponent of marriages between girls
of the tribe and white men. In spite
of him the young folks have welded
where they would, and some of the
white blood is in the Wa-ba-na-l1i club
to-day. This club will do a great work
for its tribe. It's first purpose is the
establishment of ar industrial school
on Indian island, and they will hold q
sale soon in which their own handi-
work will go to swell the fund which is
to be put into the new institution. The
club members have a deep appreciation
of their mission. They are fully awake
to the need of reforms in the social
conditions of their people. Besides set
ting the club work a-going in the tribe
these women will apply themselves to
the collection of the history of the Tar
ratineS.

Called An Old Man From His Home and Attempted to
 Murder Him.

William McArthur aged IS, and John Ed Bryant, aged 16, two negroes, are in the city jail on the charge of assault with in tent to murder. But ere long the charge against the two may be changed to murder in the first degree.
 The victim of their fiendish assault is Randall Boyd. On Saturday last Boyd quarreled with the young negroes over some trivial matter, and is said to have struck one of them. This occurred near the old negro's home in what is known as Scratch Ankle"
 Last night the young negroes prccee Jed to Boyds home armed with rocks and de- termined to kill the old man. Calling him out of the house McArthur and Bryant let fly fusilade of missiles, some of which struck Boyd. felling him to the ground The negroes for while continued to throw stones at the prostrate form and then m de their escape.
 Officers Letch and Mcdonald were in formed of the affair and effected the arrest of the two culprits. They are now behind the bars and will be granted an audience by Judge Feagin in the near future.
 Boyds condition is critical and doubt for his recovery Is entertained
