reviewing the progress of affairs in all
branches of the service urges more

There are now 2O.522 boys and girls in
attendance on the various Indian schools
out of an enrolment of over $4,000, the
Indian population from which these are
taken being 1S1 900. While the popula-

was caused at the morning service of the

it was his desire to send in his resigna-
ton. but feeling that there was still
need for him influenced his decision tC

1t is admitted that Mr.. Moody's condi-

list was seen at his hotel shortly before

pressed the belief that his condition was
not serious. He stated that he was feel

weak as do now. There is nothing
alarming about my condition. | believe

MANY PEARLS STRUGGLED.
Ten Thousand Gems Seized mt the
New York Custom House.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Tcn thousand
pearls of all sizes, some imitation and
some genuine gems, were taken to the
custom house yesterday and spread out
in Collector Bidwell's office. Today they
will be taken to the appraisers stores,
where the government experts Will pass
upon their value. The pearls were seized
by Special Treasury Agent Theobald
from Francis Book, a dealer in jewels
and gems of Providence. Book arrived
on the French liner Bretagne, but preced-
ing him had come a cable message to the
customs officials telling that the Provi-
dence man had pearls of great price in
his possession. To the inspector Book
declared he had nothing dutiable.
In Books trunk were three pairs of
worn shoes tied together heel and toe,
and wrapped compactly in newspapers.
Inside each pair of shoes were many
packages of half pearls. There were
two quarts of the gems altogether.
They were of all sizes and until the eX-
perts examine them y will not be known
what are genuine and what are imitation.
These half pearls are used extensively
in the manufacture of jcwelry, and the
mutation article is expensive. Both the
true and the false are dutiable.
When the Officers had secured all the
pearls from Books trunk. they examined
his wearing apparel. In the inside pocket
of his topcoat they found package
containing 10 beautiful specimens. In
the tail pocket of his cutaway coat was
another package. and there were more in
other pockets The customs officials are
inclined.to think that the pearls found on
Books person are the genuine article and
that the others are possibly limitations. a
rough estimate of the value of the entire
eciziro is c1O 600
