A FAvoRITE OF FORTUNE.
An American Girl whose Story ReadA Like "a Fairy TaIe-Lady Cur
 zOn's Rapid Rise.

When daughter was born into the household of Hon. Levi z. Letter, ot Chicago, the baby was christened Mary Victoria. and some one remarked at the time that it was & queenly title. A month after Miss Letter was welded to MT. Curzon, in Washington city in 1895, the bride was honored with reception by Queen Victoria. who. now is god mother to the infanj son born last fall. When Lady Curzou was installed as mistress of the Curzon home q Kedles- ton house on the Thames, near Give den, where lives another well-known American, Mr. William Waldorf Astor, it was said by her friends that she would one day be the social leader of the Indian empire, as the imposing government house at Calcutta is mod cled after KedIeston house; and so the Curzons find themselves in familiar sur roundings in their new home in the tropics. The marriage of his daughter 10 an untitled foreigner is said to have been opposed by NIr. Letter. Eut later events have proved the wisdom of :he woman in the case to have been the better judgment. MT. Curzon has steadily advanced to the post Of un- der secretary of state. and now 10 that of viceroy; and it is said here in Eng land that to his charming and sensible wife belongs the credit for much of the large honor which he now bears.--Ed- ward Page Gaston, in WOman's Home Companion.

 1 who want work are kept busy all the l year round. They have sold their tim Der for a large price. the government |
 has put their money into bonds and pays them the interest. It gives them many other favors. and they are able to earn enough to keep themselves and i their families in comfort. so that ir 1 time every Chippewa family on these reservations ought to be well off For years there has not been q time when ] these Indians were in need of food, nor have they ever become beggars, as most other reds have when once re- moved from their original territory The eXpiriment of working these h. dians was undertaken with consider l able timidity. but it has proven success ful. It has been found that three men must be kept ready for the work that two whites would do, two workers and a ''sub," for the Indian will not work long at a stretch. He must knock eff once in awhile and take rest in his tepee. An uuderstudy is necessary to keep the force up to full strength. In most cases they are not trusted with responsible work. In the woods they are choppers, cooks. swampers, but never teamsters or loaders. At the mills in summer they are common laborers, car pushers. pile leaders, etc. but sel- dom machine hands, head pliers, saw Xers or skilled men. Skilled work they do at times, but usually in couples. with a white man to act as leader, as in the lumber piles, where three men are needed for he work. There are exceptions to this rule, and some of the Indians have shown as much aptitude for business as whites, and there are a few on each reservation who are talk ing contracts independently and doing well in the logging business. These are able to get along without white help. In most cases where ambitious Chip pewas have tried contracting it has been found that the chief trouble was in the refusal of men of their own race to obey orders or 10 work for the In- dian boss as they would for a white man. Most of the Indian contractors have gone broke as the result of just this fact.
 About 45,00OOO0 feet of timber are being cut this winter on the three res ervations in which these contracts have been made by the Indian department In these operations some 400 Indians find as steady employment as they are willing to accept. They work well when they work at all, and receive the same wages as whites, from $2O to $24 a month and keep. In the summer at the mills they get from $1 to $1.25 per day.-N. I. Sun.

A CUBAN CAMORRA.
Spanish Outlaws Set Free by Gen.
 Blanco.
The Last Piece of TreacherOus HOs- tiIity Perpetrated by the Span fards Before Leaving the
 Island.

AS a final act of hostility to the
 Americans, the Spaniards have, accord ing to the Cuban junta in New 1ork. let loose the worst gang of thieves ln Cuba.
 They are expected, in gratitude for
 their deliverance, to become camorra and prey upon the people.
 As the day for the evacuation of the island drew near it became evident that Blanco and his subordinates, acting under direct orders from the govern ment at Madrid, were planning q final coup which. while it would not infringe on the provisions of the treaty of peace, would serve to embarass the United States government at the outset of its administration and lead to intermina- be disorder in the island.
 On the last day of his administration Gen. Blanco announced that "as evil dence of the love of Spain for the peo- pie who had been taken from her he had resolved to order a general release of the 'Nanigos' that is, political prisoners-from the prisons of the penal settlements of Africa, whither they had been sent for crimes against property and person.
 The Nanigos," says President T. Estrada Palma. of the junta, ''are part ly Spanish thieves and murderers, who were transported from Spain for Spain's good, and partly the lowest class of West Indian negroes. They are not politicians = simply footpads thieves, maukillers and thugs Per haps over the whole range of the earth f. <Js 94e .- more dangerous combination of crim- inals. Their presence is a constant menace to good order"
 The effect of the release of the Nani- gos may be compared to that which would follow general depcpulation of Sing Sing. One might jus: as we'll open the doors of the state prison and turn the criminals loose to work their own sweet will upon the surrounding towns.
 The number of the Nanigos is va riously estimated at from 1,500 to ? 2,O0O As a band it was perfectly organized. Each man joining the organization is requested to swear upon the cross that he will not betray the secrets of the combination and 10 submit himself willingly to the order of the ''head center. Just who the head center is no one in Havana, beyond Gen. Blanco and his aids. has ever known. The popular impression that he might be found in the person of Juan Martez, q thug. who had barely escaped execu- ton for murder in Madrid. may per haps be near the truth. And in Mar rez' usefulness in doing spy work among the Cubans during the war is found the secret of the inability of the ocal Spanish government to find him.
 The methods of the Narigos do not differ from those adopted oy the gangs" that infest the river ,

INDIANS AS LUMBERMEN.
The Chiprewas Are Getting Rich on Their Reservation Along
 Lake Superior.

The experiment of using Indian Ia bor in the logging woods is being carried on by lumber company of Duluth Minn., which has a contract for cut ting many million" of feet of pine in reservations on the south shore of Lake Superior. The company's contracts were made with the Indian bureau. The Indians cot only get money for their timber, which is invested by the government and paid to them in install ments, but they are also kept at work so long as the timber remains on their hands, thus giving them employment and teaching them an occupation.
 On the Red Cliff, Bad River and Lac de Flambeau reservations there are sawmills, each built and operated un- der this agree ment with the Indian bu- reau, and all the adult male Indians

SOLDIERS OF CHINESE.
England Preparing to Convert Ma lives Into Militfamen of
 the Queen.

As bearing, though somewhat ob- liquely, on several of our own prob lems in the far east, it is worth noting that, though the English are not yet by any means well settled in their new Chinese possessions, they are already preparing 10 ascertain what can be lone toward turning the wearers of pigtails into soldiers of the queen. As now outlined the plan is a modest one tic intention being simply to raise in the ten-mile limit around Wei-IIai-Wei a single regiment of eight or ten com panies, but if present expectations are realized the force will be gradually in creased. The commissioned officers, it is hardly necessary to say, will all be Englishmen regularly trained in the profession of arms, and a majority o1 them will be men of long gproveG abil ity in the instruction and handling of oriental natives
 It had been proposed to recruit this first Chinese regiment or at least part of it, in the neighborhoCd of dong-Kong. but in view of the admit ted physical superiority of the Shan ,ung population. that idea has been abandoned, and the regiment will be made up entirely Of northern Chinese. Col. Hamilton Bower, of the Indian staff corps, is to command the regiment and he will be assisted by company commanders who have seen service in many lands. It is not proposed that the First Chinese will be stationed permanently in Wei-Hai-Wei; they will be sent wherever needed, and Mauri tius is already mentioned as their first destination out of China. The soldiers will be provided with distinctive uni forms and good arms, and their pay is to be considerably better than that given-or promised-to Chinese in their own service.
 The result of this experiment. can
Arizona republican., 1899-02-28

hardly be regarded as doubtful Gen. Gordon demonstrated years and years ago that Chinamen, when intelligently trained and well led, make excellent soldiers, for, though lacking in enthu siasm and without the instinct of pa
 triotism. they have a stolidity that is a fair substitute for courage, are pa tient of discipline, and will obey orders without question. It is hard to see any thing in the way of doing in the Phil ippines what can be done in China. Of our own islanders it can at least be said that they have faced European reg ulars successfully. Even under Gordon Chinamen never did this.-N. '. Times.

] front of the streets of the extreme east side in this city. Their operations are
 conducted on large scale. Burning i farmhouses, ravishing women, break ing into houses and murdering the in habitants, waylaying and robbing men and women in the streets, kidnapping young girls and holding them for ran som are among their accomplishments, according 10 the statement of the Gu ban junta.
 The conception and execution of petty theft is left to the discretion of the individual. But in the more impor- tant work of the organization the Nani- gos act on orders from headquarters.
 Four or five picked men. whose dar- ing and discretion may be trusted, are told off to sack a farmhouse, burn a plantation, steal a woman or a child or break into the residence of wealthy citizen. The orders are drastic. Mar tez and his chief lieutenants will ac- cept no excuse for failure
 Perhaps the most noticeable achieve ment of the Nanigos may be found in the murder of an old banker and his servant in a house in the center of Havana. One morning the banker was found strapped down to the ironwork of his bedstead, dead his body covered with riangular-shaped wounds: in d lower room the housekeeper was found, her head almost severed from her body. Jewelry and plate to the value of $2O,- 900 were missing-N. Y. Journal.

Changing old P~st omce Names.

Changing Old P~St O1nce Names.
 Some years ago the post office depart ment created "board of geographic names," with the object of simplify ing the names of post offices and bring ing about more uniformity in their spelling. One of the rules adopted by this board was that where post office consisted of two names they were to be consolidated. Several attempts have been made recently to carry this rule into operation, but each attempt has been met with such storms of disap- proval on the part of the residents of the place that the department has been sorely troubled as to just what to do. The post office at Friar's Point. Miss, was changed recently to Friarpcint. When the people learned of the change there was much indignation and the department was flooded with protests. West Point, for instance, has been changed to ''Westpoint." The people near the military academy object very strenuousIy to this change. In recent years the compilation of the postal guide shows many changes in line with this rule. There is much contention over the matter, and it may be that an other board will shortly be appointed 10 adjust the subject. - Washington Star.

Extracts from French Papers.

"They (the English) paralyzed the sultan by means of the Armenian troubles which they got up, and by means of the war with Greece, which was likewise their handiwork. In France, where we were on the lookout for English tricks they actually origi mated the whole Dreyfus affair, as well as many of it's side issues. In Abyssinia they first cajoled Menelik, and were now cgging on Ras Mangas- cia to march against him. In Uganda, these English hypocrites have gone the length Of provoking massacres of their own missionaries in order to acquire thereby the right of annihilating the whole aboriginal race, and making themselves masters of Matabeleland. And these are but few Of the horrors perpetrated by these civilized shop keepers. Paris Petit Journal.

Runts nnd Weddings Among Fishes.

Among the red snappers from Der muda, now in their second winter Here in one of the tanks of he aquarium, there is one, the weakling of the flock, that has not grown any since it was put into the tank. It was long ago expected to give up and die, but it shows no signs of doing that yet. Though it doesn't grow, as the others have done, and though it is slower in it's movements. yet it has a fair appetite, and it holds it's own, always about he same. There are runts and weddings among fishes, just as there are among other animals, and they may be as tenacious of life as their more favored brothers, but the big and vigorous are bett-~able to pro- vide themselves with food, and as arule they live longer.-N.
