the hillsides were furrowed by the plows

The sldewalk in front of The Bee building

a few minutes yesterday while two vot-

rounds a little dispute regarding the result

John Patterson and Andy Virgins. Patter-
son supported the regular ticket at the
primaries and felt pretty "keen" over the
result. He was chatting with a party of
friends when Virgins took exceptions to a
remark he overheard and began to abuse
him.
Virgins admitted feeling a little sore over
the way his ward went. and charged Patter-
son and his friends with being responsible
for the outcome. IF 1t hadn't been for you

INDIAN WOMEN SHOPPING.

Eyince Many of the characteristics
of PaIeface Sisters.
II you watch Indian women shopping, says
q writer In Ainslee's Magazine, you will see
feminine eagerness, caprice and love for fine
and pretty things. They cannot shop as
other women do, poor things, for instead Of
fitting gayly to any shop that pleases they
are, in most cases, obliged to patrouize one
and that is rarely the best. The reason for
this goes deep into governmental appoint
ments and Indian agents and the question is
too delicate and reformatory to discuss.
Women OF the Sarah Barton class cannot
speak of 1t with patience.
When the woman Of the reservation goes
shopping she does so only at such times as
the government gives Its wards their al
iowance. The Indian trades on credit, the
agent pays the store and not the Indian and
the Storekeeper sees that the bill of goods
bought shall equal the amount Of pension
money due his customer, even though he is
reduced to selling half a yard of velveteen
for 50 and common gilt tape at 81 a yard.
And yet the women find shopping infinitely
amusing. In some of the larger towns shops
reach a cheap imitation of the department
store and the Indian women take varied and
feminine delight in sauntering from one
counter to another, feeling of dress goods
and gazing at unattainable ribbons and pas
sementeries. The shops interpreter gees
with them, like a courier, and lightly d.
reefs their somewhat doubtful fancy to I'M
salable goods. They are timid and gay as
children and most unlovely to look upon, for
there is an unhappy incongruity about tene-
ment-house garb and Minnehaha physi-
ognomy.
They are very shy and show none of the
dignifsd Indifference of the men, which Is
like that of a lion In captivity. In the shop
they cling to the interpreter with a faith
That would appeal to any ordinary conscience
but the Indian and his money are consid-
cred fair game in the territories. After the
shop Is left the women follow closely on the
heels of their lords until bundled into the
big boX-wagon to drive home. l have never
seen one alone on the streets of a town. so
great Is their timidity in the face OF that
civilization toward Which they are inevitably
advancing.

RELIGIOUS.

Bishop Hanlon writes from Uganda that
1000 natives have been converted to the
Catholic church during the last four years.
The conversions Of Mormons to Cathol-
scism in Boise, Idaho, have been SO numer-
GUS as to necessitate the erection of a new
Catholic church In that city.
The remarkable statement Is made that
Rev. r. II, Conwell has. during his pas
torate at the Temple Baptist church In
Philadelphia, baptized $3.50 converts.
Eight sections at the Paris Universal ex-
hibition of 1900 will be devoted to "the his
tory OF the religions of the world. with the
beliefs of air the known races of men. past
and present"
The Outlook gives as one reason for an
oversupply of clergymen in any church that
many theological students are too lazy or
too unwilling to undertake any kind of
work and that some are unfit for most work.

an aristocratic Presbyterian church In Phil
farms in Bedford county, Pennsylvania. and
spends the greater part OF his summer va

The Reformed church in Newburg, N. Y,
Is trying to get rid of Its pastor, Rev.
William Burton, a new arrival from South
Dakota. because he has denounced Governor
Roosevelt and spoken slightingry of the
Spanish war. Mr.. Burton also shutters
slightly, but the objection to him is based
on the grounds above mentioned.

nues of the Mormon church from tithes

A Strike at the National Glass
Factory---0ther Brief Notes.

The carrying-in boys employed at
the National glass factory in South
Bellaire, struck yesterday at noon, after
having notified their company OF their
desire for an advance of ten cents
per turn, or twenty cents per day.
About forty carrying-in boys are en-
ployed by the company, and they have
been receiving forty cents per turn, or
eighty cents per day. One of the Off
Gals at the factory stated yesterday
that this rate Of wages has been paid
to carriers at the mandatory for the
past twenty years. One of the strike
smypathiZers said last evening that
the boys were discharged Immediately
after the strike had been inaugurated.
The boys claim that they are entitled
to the increase for which they have
asked owing to the fact that since the
blowers have become unlimited they
are required to make between 1000 and
1,100 pieces per day, instead of 600
pieces per day, as formerly.

EATING AGAINST TINE!
THE PICTURE DICKENS DREW OF
AMERICANS AT TABLE.

It is a long time since Martin Chuz-
zlewit" stirred up Yankee indignation.
We are beginning to admit that the
thriving City OF Eden" might have
been located in more States than one,
and that Jefferson Brick and Elijah
NPogram have ''fretted their hour upon
the stage under many an alias, which
failed to conceal their identity. But
however we might deny the general
fidelity of Dickens sketches of Ameri-
can life and character, we cannot deny
that his picture of the American at his
meals, minus that touch OF caricature
which is only the emphasis of humor,
is almost as accurate to-day as it was
when the great author penned his
novel;
Here is the picture as Dickens paint
ed it: Martin Chuzzlewit. has just
landed. He has presented his creden-
Itals and met several prominent citi-
zens.' In company with two CT these
he is leisurely walking down the street
engaged in conversation. Suddenly the
changing of bell is heard, and the es-
tinable citizens start off at breakneck
speed in the direction OF the sound
Other people are seen running in the
same direction; Martin eonjectures
that it is a fire and Quickens his steps
Around the corner he comes on a
brawny negro, ringing bell with great
industry, and sees struggling crowd
fighting their way through a narrow
door eager to reach the dinner table.

he Dencunces Lynchers as Fiends and Not

New York, April 25.-Col. Ingersol
says OF the lynchings in Georgia: Il
suppose these ages-these frightful
crimes-make the same impress on my
mind that they do on the minds of all
civilized people. / know of no words
strong enough, bitter enough to express
my indignation and horror. The hor-
rors were perpetrated in the name Of
justice. The savages who did these
things belong to the superior race.
They are citizens Of the great republic.
And yet it does not seem possible that
such fiends are human beings. They
are a disgrace to our country, our CEN
fury and the human race. Let me say
that what / have said is f1attery COM
pared with what | feel. When | think
Of the other lynching-of the poor man
mutilated and hanged without the
slightest evidence, of the negro who
said that these murders would be
avenged, and who was brutally murder
ed for the utterance of a natural feel
ing-I am utterly at loss for words.
"Are the white people insane? Has
mercy fed to the beasts? Has the
United States no power to protect a
citizen? A nation that cannot or will
not protect its citizens in time Of peace
has no right TO ask its citizens to pro-
tect it in time of war"
The colored ministers of New York
City at a meeting in ST. Marks NJ. E.
Church passed resolutions denouncing
the Georgia lynchings. Rev. VIM. H.
Brooks, of st. Marks Church. was
among the speakers. I'VE have no
sympathy, he said. with the crime
charged against the negroes, but what
ever the crime we believe there is suffi-
Gent law to protect them until the trial
comes.
Il hope and trust that the secular
md religious papers and pulpits will
give their aid and throw their infu-
.nce on the side Of right"
