A WONDERFUL RELIC.
DR.. E. F. EIdridse Becomes the
Possessor of the Skull of a
Kodiak Indian Chief.

DR.. E. F. Eldridge il the possessor Of
a bit of curio which is well worth the
time spent in examining it. 1t is the
skull of Kodiak Indian chief, and was
brought to the doctor by Mr.. Fred Cor
don, who is a very warm friend of DR. /.
Eldridge, and who never fails, on his re-
turA from trip in the north to bring
something to add to the collection of brio
a-brac which the doctor has accumulated
from many parts OF tho world.
The fact that it il tho skull of chief
was evident from the implements found
deposited with the remains, which con-
sisted of weapons, ornamanents, etc.,
which are buried only with = chief. The
relic was found on the island Of Nunivak
in the Behring sea. --.
The doctor says that the skull is that
Of very powerful man of at least seven
ty-ave years OF ago. 1t is in remarka.

ting with the utmost precision.

A young man named Booze,
from Pennsylvania, died from in
iuries received at West Point, after
two years of suffering. The COM
mandant, Col. Mills, says that the
death needs no investigation at his
hands because the boy was coward,
ly, as he did not let a whole COM
pany of roughs beat him up and
pour several bottles of Tobasco
sauce down his throat. 1t seems
as if Commandant Mills needs some
Investigation. 1t is not a sign of
cowardice if a man hesitate to take
the murderous hazing provided by
a lot of toughs. The boy proved
that he was not coward by with
holding the names of those who
so cowardly hazed him, for over
two years. Col. Mills appears in
very bad light, from his charges
placed at the door Of the boy after
his death.

What Does This Mean ?

A perusal Of the history of rail
way transactions during the past
four years shows us this period
has been the most disastrous, from
a financial standpoint, of any other
of the present decade. Under the
circumstances it would almost
seem as though the further devel-
opment or improvement of rail-
way facilities must cease. Yet,
strange to say, many notable in
stances prove that the contrary is
true. In numerous instances,
frst-class roads, despite the
hard times and general business
depression, have made very de-
cided advances, not only in the
improvement of the material con-
dition of the roadway itself, but
likewise, the equipment and SER
vice. And the public has been q
great gamer by the public-spirit-
edness of the roads.
One of the most notable cases
of railway development is the
Nickel Plate Road, which seems
to have forged right ahead with
its improvements and has exhibi-
ted an unrelenting determination
to give tho public the best pos
sible facilities in spite of the
hard times. And how we'll this
corporation has succeeded in its
laudable efforts, the excellent con-
dition of the system bears ample
evidence. Yet the secret of this
success is obvious: the people
have responded very generously
to a generous effort to give them
the worth of their money. That
is all. The peoples money has
enabled the road to better its IA
cilities in every respect; thus the
work has been OF a mutual and re-
ciprocal character. The liberal
patronage accorded the road has
brought handsome return to the
people in the shape of improved
facilities for travel, yet at the
same time, at lower rates.
And now, it seems, the Nickel
Plate Road is still engaged in
further efforts to serve the people
well. It has high-class road
way to begin with; most excel
lent equipment to end with, and
safe, fast and reliable service for
the delectation of its patrons.
All in all, it offers q most attract
i've menu to travellers bound east

The capital has recently entertained three

public; Colonel A D. Williams of the Liberian
army, and the Rev. W. T. Hagan, presiding
elder of the Liherian Conference of the Meth
odist Church who came to this country as lay
and ministerial delegates to the Methodist Con-
ference at Chicago. These visitors from Dark
est Africa were delighted with the American
capital every corner Of which they explored
and with their reception by the President, who
chatted with them cordially the state of af-
fairs in their PARKWAY little country and car
ried away with them pleasant impressions of
both the United States and its people.
General Haynes an alumnus of the English
Cambridge. by the way spoke with some in
dignation of a report recently circulated here
which puts Liberia in an entiI ely wrong light
to the effect that this little republic had re-
quested the United States TO give her small
warship a patrol boat
Some with rare and rosy fancy, said
General Haynes, commenting upon the rumor,
''wove this story without fibre of fact. When
other service she can afford 10 pay for IT. The
republic is in a better financial condition than
it has been for years. Recently we have liqui-
dated part of the national debt owing to Eng
land, and the interest on that debt which was
twenty years in arrears, has been paid up The
exports of coffee, palm OIL palm kernels rubber
cocoa. sugar. hides and gold are increasing. and
ivory and feathers still form important articles
of commerce. Sanitary conditions in the various
towns are improving. the schools are we'll at
tended, and the people are thrifty, prosperous
and happy.
Il notice said General Haynes, further. that
now and then colonization projects are set on
foot in the United States A few Of these may
be worthy schemes but many simple devices
to take money either from adventurous people
or those who are much dissatisfied with their
present lot in this country. The Ltberian Re
public welcomes immigrants when the new
Corners are of the right kind; that is when they
are thrifty, moral, able bodied, willing to work
and have enough worldly goods to begin life
with. To immigrants adjudged desirable the
Government aIlots twenty-five acres of good
land and infranchises them as citizens. There
are no racial prejudices or discrimination such
