scendants Of her father in many parts
of the country will be set at rest.
At II o'clock a large crowd had
gathered at the resting place of the
famous woman. The exercises were
opened with prayer by DIR. Arthur
Gaylord Slocum, President of Kala-
mazoo College. The yelling was re-
moved from the shaft by Victoria and
Mabel Bondy, great-granddaughters
of Frances Slocum. Then followed
an address by Charles E. Slocum, Of
Defiance. Ohio, and speeches by early
settlers of Indiana and other citizens
interested in the strange and pathetic
story of the white woman who be-
came socially lost to her people by
contact with the American Indians.
Frances Slocum was carried away
from the home of her parents in what
is now Wabash County Indiana, in
1878. She was a child of five years
at that time. In spite of almost
superhuman efforts made by her
family nothing was learned of her fate
until 1885, when she was found living
with the Miamis near Peru. She had
become the wife of chief aud had
lost all traces of her English origin
save in complexion and features.
When it was proposed that she re-
turn to her people she fatty refused
to do so. She had forgotten her child
hood, her language and her race, and
remained with the Indians almost to
the day of her death in 1S47. For
several years members of the SIocum
family have been active in raising
funds for the monument which has
Just been unveiled.

KEEL CANAL.

10 Far tho Enterprise Comes Out with
u Deficit.
The administration of the Kiel ca
nal, Germany, has lately published
report for the year included between
April i, 1898, and March 81, 1S99 The
humber of vessels which have passed
through the canal during that period
reached 25,816, of which 11,005 repre-.
sent steam vessels and 14,811 sailing
vessels, etc. The total tonnage is es-
timated at 3,117,840. These figures
show an increase over the preceding
year of 2,7O8 vessels and 900 tons
The receipts of the canal during the
year amount to about 100000, which
is an increase of $4,000 or 20 per
cent, says the Scientific American AS
to the different nations using the
canal Germany naturally takes the
lead with 81 per cent of the total num-
Der of vessels, and 68 per cent of the
tonnage; England has about 8 per
cent, which is an increase over the
preceding year. Denmark and Sweden
have respectively 60 and 81 per cent,
showing slight diminution. Rus
sia, whose proportion was 2.54 per
cent in 1878, has now 2.29. From a
financial point of view. the situation
is considerably better than for the
preceding period, the deficit being but
$lOS,000 against S245.000. The receipts
have increased about 26 per cent and
the expenses diminished per cent.
The report brings out the fact that as
the Kiel canal has been constructed
mainly from a strategic point of view
it is not to be expected that it will
give any considerable profit; never
theless, the constant increase in the
revenue leads one to expect that the
receipts may in time come to equal
and even exceed the expense of main
tenance.

is no more of the old time roaming
at large and hustling for food to keep
tve cattle alive during the cold
months. The traveller crossing the
plains sees vast stacks Of hay dotting
the country on all sides, and each OF
these stacks represents from 100 to
500 tons of fattening food.
Even the cattle themselves have
shared in the changed character of the
business. One no longer sees in the
west the long, lank steer, with long
horns and flabby sides. Instead, one
sees genuine beef producer, with
long back, rounded sides and horn

The prediction, said to have been

Young in all probability was misquot-

opinion that clubs would be pla IN

is generally believed, be the home Of
the Brooklyn club in 1901. Louisville
is almost certain to succeed Mlnneap-
oils in the American league, and it
| may be that Baltimore and Brooklyn
may become members of the Eastern
league along with Buffalo. James
Franklin, the owner of the Buffalo
club, is none too we'll satisfied with his
Western experience and the Eastern
league will welcome his return to that
field. The addition of three such cities

better than none at all, and both Chi

and Brooklyn would in time patronize
Eastern league games because they
would find them we'll played. In case
