An alarm of fire sounded by the gong
Saturday morning at o'clock. caused
considerable excitement among the
residents of this borough and brought
the Neptune and Independent compan-
les out with a rush. The fire was To-
Gated on Sport Hill, about three blocks
up the hill from the corners, and
proved to be the frame dwelling houses
owned by John Coleman, but unoccu-
pied for several weeks back.
Several streams of water were soon
playing on the building, but in the
course of a short time it was a burn
Ing mass and a general alarm was
sounded. BY the time the other COM
panies had arrived the flames were
under control and the surrounding
property considered safe. The cause of
the fire is unknown. Mr.. Coleman's
loss will reach $1,000, but is partly COW
cred by insurance.

A meeting of the male members OF
st. Patrick's congregation was held In
the basement of the church last even
ing for the purpose of making arrange
ments for the fair and festival whicn
will be held during the holidays. Rev.
j. B. Whelan presided. Committees
were appointed to arrange for the con-
tests and music, which will be features
of the undertaking. Among the for
mer will be a contest for flat sill
yer cornet which has been secured.
Committees comprising three MEM
bers each from the several divisions of
the A. o. H., Father Mathews, l. e.
B. U. st. Leo's, st. Paul's and other
societies in the parish were appointed
to notify their respective organizations
of the fair and to enlist their cooper

The committees will make their re-

ST. PATRICK's oRPHANAGE.

The annual collections for the sup
port of St. Patricks orphanage are
now being taken up in the various
parishes of the Scranton diocese. The
contributions at st. Patricks church
have already been taken up and
amount to S120
An impression prevails that the
money donated to the institution by
the late Judge Handley will be used
for the support of the orphanage, but
this is a mistake, as the trustees can
not touch the money for that purpose.
The institution is supported by the
free will offering of the people and
the annual collections are being taken
by order of Bishop Hoban.

FARMERS BEGIN 70 ARRIVE.
FIRST CONTINGENT FROM MISSOURI
PLEASED WITH OUTLOOK.
All Are Young, Robust specimens Of
TiIIers of the soil-Proceed to
Hartford, where They VIII EN-
gage in Agricultural Pursuits.

The first contingent of colony Of set
tiers for this state arrived over the North
ern Pacific at noon yesterday. 1t numbers
fifteen young men. big, strong Missourians.
and four women, the best type OF the
American farmer. Several OF them have
finished a high school education. They
left at o'clock in the afternoon over the
Seattle & International for Hartford juno
ton. where they expect to locate.
There were fifty in the party when 1t
arrived in Washington. Several stopped
at Spokane and other points along the
line where they will look over the farm
ing districts and IL nothing desirable Is
found. within thirty days. they will come
on and join their advance party in their
new home
The party is in charge of A. G. Ander-
son, of Bolivar, Mo-. who has for years
followed school teaching during the school
term and farming during vacation.
"Our party Is composed Of young farm
ers from around Bolivar" he said yester-
dya, "who have left the old folks on the
farm and have come West to help bring
under cultivation the rich districts that
are untitled here. As yet we have not
taken up or purchased our lands. We
are going up to Hartford Junction, winch
point has been recommended to US and
lands can be procured.
1--WE are but an advance guard Of a col
ony OF Missouri farmers that Will nock
to this state within the next year II every
thing turns out as we expect 1t Will. In
all parts of Missouri there are young men
who are anxious to find lands. A great
majority of them lack the nerve to start
out on their own hook and so will await q
report from our party.
There Is not one member OF our party
but is a practical farmer. We have been
engaged In stock raising, dairy produce,
wheat growing and the cultivation OF all
kinds OF grain. We expect to continue
these products here and branch out into
any other crops that the soil VIII produce.
s'The farms in Missouri, and in fact IN
all the Middle Western states. are pretty
we'll taken up. There u no land for the
young farmer and SO the time has come
when we must look about. Washington
is being !. more thoroughly advertised
throughout our district than any other
state and there is q wonderful dispose
ton to come here.
'sWhile passing along on the train we
have seen some very fine looking ianu
and I must say our first impression OF the
state is favorable"

ADJUSTMENTS.
sThe Silence of Dean Maitland" Mt
the Seattle.

the SeQttles
The Moore-Roberts company presented
the 'Silence of Dean Maitland" to an APP
preciative audience last night. The nnem-
bers of the company are all English o:
Australian and their style of acting Is con-
siderably different from what the American
public has been educated to appreciate, but
taken altogether the play is one OF strong
dramatic possibilities, and Mr.. II. Roberts.
the leading man, who sustained the char
acter of Dean Maitland, embraced several
opportunities for fine acting In a manner
that won for him generous applause.
The plot Is not new. A young minister,
while playing secret court to girl, mur-
ders her father, who objects to the minis
ter's attention to his daughter. The minis
ter's bosom friend is arrested for the crime
and the minister allows him to be sent to
prison for twenty years for the crime. and
maintains silence as to his own guilt.
Time passes and by degrees the minister
Is advanced from station to station in the
church until he receives the appointment of
bishop. Shortly before his ordination the
son of the woman whose father he muir
dered appears on the scene and demanUs
that he be recognized. To complicate mat
tiers the innocent man who went to prison
reappears, and forgives the author of his
misfortune. Remorse comes to the eccle-
siastic and in his ordination sermon he
publicly confesseS his crime and dies IN the
pulpit.
The company supporting Mr.. Roberts
showed itself to advantage.

Most Prospsrous Indians.
G. Il, Stranahan, Indian agent Of the

In speaking OF. the Neg Perce tribe.
whSh Is ns 70 re sas
GUS In the United States, he said:
Education among the Indians-1 speak
particularly OF. literary training--in my
power to distinguish between good and
evil with a desire for the latter The
worst Indians we have on the reserva-
crime, however. among the Nez Perces,
except adultery. They will cling to their
old customs. although We do everything
1--WE have 1880 Indians on our reserva-
tion.. Within the last five years their
number has neither Increased nor de-
os They tribes m M
United States. They have received, all
except one last payment now due from
the government, H,626,000 for their SUR
plus lands. They are nearly all farmers.
Each Indian man, woman and child has
eighty acres of land, which is held IN
trust for them. These lands are In the
west. Each man Is compelled to work a
portion of his land, but may rent the ball
ance, belonging to his wife and children,
IL he choose. The Indians now draw
about $4,000 annually from this source.
Within five years they will be an inde-
pendent people so far as wealth Is con-
cerned.
II believe that the present system Of
holding Indian estates In trust for PEE
riod OF twenty-five years is wrong. and
IL Is not at all improbable that some ac-
ton in this matter will be taken by con-
gress. At the end of that period titles to
the estates liable to become complicat-
ed, and owing to the diversity of heirs
trouble will be experienced in establish
ing them. If Indian estates were divided
as in the case of white people 1t would
simplify matters and be more satisfac-
tory.
"The Nez Perces, while great spenders
of money. have some saved up. The fall
ure of the First National bank, of Mos
COW, caught them for about $4,000. For
while they were suspicious of banking
institutions, but have regained confidence
now. In fact, they are too willing to
trust any person whom they think Is
their friend.
"The Indians are now admitted to citi-
zenship and are entitled to vote, women
as well as men. Neither political party
encourages them in voting, as it would
have tendency to introduce into poll
tics an unknown quantity and one that
could easily be controlled by interruptions
