MAINE INDIANS OF WEALTH.
Survivors Fifty Years Hence Likely
to BE the states Richest Men.
From the New York Sun.


Old Town, Me-, April 27.--If the mem
bers of the so-called old tribe Of Abenaki
Indians take their case before the next
session of the Maine Legislature and gain
their point the richest man living In
Maine fifty years hence is likely to be an
Indian. ....
The trouble between the old tribe and
the new tribe is of long standing. 1t
arose from the strong infusion of white
blood that was added TO this tribe every
year. As a rule the men are contented to
wed women Of their own color. The
squaws are more ambitious, and prefer a
Yankee or q Frencffrnan. Such Is their
fondness for Caucasians that they viii
cheerfully accept repeated whippings from
white husbands. while II an Indian raises
his hand against his copper-hued spouse
he Is likely TO spend from three to six
months in Bangor jail The tribe was
split ten or twelve years ago over a prop
osition 20 admit TO membership only per-
sons whose blood was at least half In
dian. 1t was then that the division into the
old and the new tribe occurred.
For a time things prosDered with the
new tribe. Through the sale of Indian
townships Nos. l and the state Of Maine
deposited 100000 worth Of per cent
bonds to the credit Of tbs Abenakis in
the state treasury In addition the state
