NATIVE GIRLS CRUEL DEATH
Offered as . Sacrifice to tho Great Spirit
bs Order Of tae5Msd.sine Man
Of - Tribe.

VICTORIA, B. c., June IS. III. In
dians living in the neigh borhood of the.
upper waters of the Stewart river are
in most depiorable condition. A ter
rible famine prevails in that district
and the unfortunate natives have al
ready been decimated for lack of food.
Conditions have been growing rapidly
worse in this respect and three miners
who have just reached here from that
country say that pitiable scenes are be-
ing enacted among the starving In
dians. They are now almost entirely
without food of any kind and are liter
ally perishing in large mum bers. So
hopeless is the situation that in single
small Indian village no less than
Thirty Persons Died From Hunger
just previous to the departure of the
prospectors for this port. The miners
who are authority for these statements
declare that unless abundant supplies
are Immediately dispatched to the relief
of these famishing and desperate people
their practical determination is inevita-
BILE.
The miners also tell shocking
story of the killing of an. Indian
girl by medicine man at the instance
of the chief of the tribe to which the
maiden belonged. Her barbarous
death was for the purpose of propitiat-
ing the Great Spirit who had sent the
famine, by offering up living sacrifice

WAYS OF THE BLUE CRAB.

Some OF It's Peculfarities as Observed at
-t.... New York's Aquarium. .
While the blue crab is not commonly
thought of as swimmer and does in
fact spend the greater part of its time
ON the bottom, yet it can very easily
sustain itself in the water and swim at
very fair rate of speed It swims end
wise, and when swimming it carries
one big claw thrown forward and bent
back at the middle joint, making
point projecting at that end of the
body, while the other big claw trails
straight out astern. If it changes direc-
tion, it crooks the claw it had been car
rying straight and let's the other 20
free. If it sustains itself in the water
without progressing, it carries it's big
claws in front of itself as it would nat
urally do under ordinary circumstances
on the bottom, but it has to. keep it's
little claws in motion to sustain itself,
and in swimming the little claws are
kept actively at work. Besides making
good degree Of progress through the
water in swimming the blue crab can
change it's course or swim to higher
or lower level with facility. When
frightened, the blue crab moves off side
ways, but when moving about at home
and undisturbed it may move straight
forward. Its body may be inclined at
any angle to the line of progress, but
it's motion still be forward, the big
claws carried crooked around in front.
1t may be seen moving thus in one of
the larger tanks at the aquarium, in
which there are blre crabs, Holsters and
other things. The temperature Of the
water now just suits the crustaceans,
and they are very lively. Blue crabs
may be seen swimming here, and also
walking about, stepping down from
stones that are as high as they them
selves are wide with perfect dignity, if
not grace of manner, and walking or
carrying their claws before them

PARIS. June 15.-President Loubet
has had his revenge for the recent out
rage at Auteuii. When he drove to
Longchamps to attend the Grand Prix
be was the hero of great popular
demonstration, expressing itself in one
form or another along the whole route
from the Elysee palace to the race
course.
He remained only quarter Of an
hour, just long enough to witness the
race and, having congratulated the
owner of the winner, returned to the
Elysee, where he arrived at o'clock
without special incident. The Re.
visionist and Socialist organs summoned
their readers to assemble along the
thoroughfares to be traversed by the
president and his party and from the
hour of noon
Thousands of Demonstrstors
set out from Montmatrie, Bellev,lle and
other working class quarters in big or
ganized bands, all wearing small,
artificial red flower in the buttonhole
and marched across Paris, taking up
positions along the Avenue des Champs
Elysee and the Avenue du Bois de
Boulogne. They gave NJ. Loubet q
tremendous ovation, confning their
cries almost entirely to ''Vive Loubet"
and "Vive la Republique." The presi-
dent did not hear discordant cry, al
though there were one or two scuf1es
before and after he passed between the
police and an occasional hotheaded anti.
Dreyfusard, who tri ed 10 shout "A bas

the whole district between the Elysee
and Longchamps literally teeming
with troops and police. A policeman
was stationed every dozen yards along
the whole route and there were squad
rons OF dragons armed with lances and
mounted Republican guards at all i'm
portant points, while through the green
foliage of the Brisse on each side Of the
avenue could be seen heavy masses of
red and blue, denoting the presence OF
detachments of soldiers awaiting orders.
Longchamps resembled a military
camp. Battalions of infantry, squad
rons of dragons and Republican
guards wese distributed all around the
course. 1t is estimated that there were
$1,000 soldiers and police under arms.
DisOrderly scenes occurred during the
evening at various places. Thirty ar

Court of Lancaster awarded her 5000.
That was more than a year ago. The Su-

the case. and setting aside the verdict,
remanded the case for new trial.
The Supreme Court based its opinion,
which was delivered by Judge Harrison.
on an old English law. which is accepted
In this country. and which lays down the
principle that contract TO enter into
matrimony implies the physical fitness
of the principals and that change af-
fecting the health of such principals be-
tween the date of the engagement and the
date of the wedding must be construed as
an act Of God. and beyond human con
troll This is said TO be the second breach

whether the plaintiff i'm the original suit

that Mr.. Hoffman did not act for the VIII

He was followed by General Allan. who
slated that the court had no jurisdiction
over the Raleigh and CASTOR, as that road
was chartered and operated under the
laws of North Carolina and the court
could not issue an injunction affecting
that road
Judge Watts then stated that great
damage would be done 10 the interests of
his clients If an injunction was granted,
and pointed out that the proposed consoli-

greatly benefit Virginia and the South. He
denied that President Williams had taken
advantage of his power and was advanc-
ing his interests to the detriment of
others.

right TO hold up the plans Of the Seaboard

made a strong argument against the
