OF head deformity. so that the style Of
q Kwatiul Indian lady's head depends
altogether on the taste OF her parents.
The heads have been subjected 10 a
severe treatment In infancy 10 acquire
the lines OF beauty popular In these
tribes. Young infants are strapped into
fiat cradles OF bulrushes and birch
bark. the head being firmly held In
place by fiat. obliquely placed series
OF stout bulrushes held In place and
frightened by thongs OF deerskin. Be
meath the headboard are placed cush-
Ions OF birch fiber and pieces OF wood
Strips OF birch fiber are tied about the
head and In this way the growth
is directed while the bones OF the
head are still soft and pliable. The
system Is a very painful one. but the
Indian girl whose parents had not thus
looked after her beauty would likely
later he regarded with bitterness by
the daughter. The woman whose head
presents the most fantastic appear
ance Is the belle OF the tribe.
The belle OF the tribe OF course Is
the young woman who has the most
numerous and desirable suitOrs and who
Is chosen above all the other women
TO take a prominent part in the varl-
Gus ceremonial dances with which the
northern Indians enliven the long
evenings. The belle. too. Is welcomed
as a member in the secret societies OF
the tribes. such as the Order OF the
Bear or the Wolf or the Salmon, which
are the Indian substitutes for Holland
Danes. Daughters of the Revolution
and Colonial Danes. Every really
swagger Indian woman belongs TO at
least one order and Is entitled tC wear
its insignia around her neck or on tue
doors OF her dwelling as a coat of
arms. The secret orders are supposed
to be especially under the care OF the
spirit OF the animal they worship and
claim kinship with the type they seek
TO appease. Thus an Indian man or
woman OF the Wolf society says:
THE wolf is my brother" and be-
lieves that no wolf will harm him or
her.

A very fine thing about many OF
these northern Indians Is the high

Samily. Her voice is respected In

AWFUL MASSACRES IN CHINA
ALL CORRESPONDENTS NOW SEND
ING IN SHOCKING STORIES.
1t is Asserted That Between $4,000 and
and 10000 Christians Were Murdered
During July in the Nor thern Prov
inces-The Women Subjected to I'm
speakabIe Barbarittes Being stripped
and Slowly Beaten to Death.

London, Sept 13.-3:15 a. Mall the
correspondents in China are sending
/ terrible stories of the wholesale massa-
ere of missionaries and native Chris
tians. 1t is asserted that during July
between 15,00O and 10000 converts were
masacred in the northern provinces
Large numbers of missionaries are stlll
unaccounted for, and small hope is en-
tertained of their escape. Native re-
ports are subjected to the most careful
scrutiny, with the result that, although
there may be some exaggeration, it is
impossible to doubt that in the main
they are correct,
The horror Is intensified by confirma-
tion of the reports that the women
were subjected to unspeakable barbar-
tiles and tortures, being stripped and
slowly dubbed to death. This is one of
the mildast methods. The Boxers
wreaked fiendish vengeance. The news
papers are calling loudly for swift pun
ishment. Fears are expressed lest the
Russian government, which does not
encourage missionary propaganda,
should prove lullewarm in this matter.
Statements were current in the Eu-
ropean capitals last evening that all
the powers had replied to the Russian
proposition that Great Britain and
Germany declined to evacuate Pekin,
that Austria and Italy had decided to
be guided by Germany's decision, and
that the other powers had agreed to
more or less modified withdrawal. The
Paris correspondent of the Morning
Post claims to know that the allies will
only withdraw outside the walls of the
capital, where they will continue to
dominate Pekin In a military sense.
According to a news agency dispatch
from Pekin dated August 81 Mr.. Conger
regards the situation as deplorable and
is advising all the Americans to leave
the capital, IL possible,

ESTIMATES OF THE DEAD.
They Range from 1000 to 10000 Some
ExaggeratiOns.

Exaggerattons.
Houston, Texas, Sept. 12-All at
tempts at burying the dead at Calves
ton have been utterly abandoned and
bodies are now being disposed of in
the swiftest manner possible. Scores
of them were buried to-day and hum
dreds were taken out to sea and thrown
overheard. The safety of the living is
now the paramount question and moth
ing that will tend to prevent the out
break of an awful pestilence is being
neglected.
This morning it was found that large
numbers of the bodies which had been
previously thrown in the bay were
washed back upon the shore and the
situation was then rendered worse than
before they were first taken in the
barges and thrown into the water. 1t
will now never be known how many
have lost their lives in this awful ca
tastrophe. Estimates run all the way
from 1000 to 10000. The former figure
is given by Lieutenant Perry, aide on
General McKibben's staff, who arriv-
ed in Houston this evening from Gal
weston.
The number of dead bodies along the
shore according to Lieutenant Perry,
has been somewhat overestimated and
he says that l. 900 is a conservative es-
innate Others claim that at least $500
bodies were buried or carried out to
sea in barges before Lieutenant Perry
arrived. No list of the dead has been
kept, and it will be utterly impossible
to formulate one from now on. Mayor
Jones of Galveston claims that the dead
will amount to 5000, and others whose
opportunities for judging are less than
that of the mayor place it as high as
10000
The loss of life among the regular
army stationed at the beach proves to
have been largely overestimated The
first report was that only eighteen out
of the whole number had been saved
Last night and to-day they turned up
singly and in squads and at present
there are but twenty-seven missing,
whereas the first estimate of casual
ties in this direction alone was nearly
200. 1t is probable that some of the
twenty-seven will answer roll call later

HIRRY BINGHAM DEAD.

inent member of the democratic party
of New Hampshire, died this afternoon
of heart trouble, aged seventy nine
years. He was a Dartmouth man, class
of '43, and three years later was admit
ted to the bar. Eighteen times he was

ventions of 1872, 1880, 1884 and 1892 was

and in 1896 was Palmer and Buckner
elector. He was named chief justice of

council. In law he was identified with
several of the most famous state cases.

FOREST FIRE IN NORTH WINDHAM
Several Hundred Acres Burned Over
Helped by High Winds.

Willimantic, Sept, ia forest fire
which broke out in the woods between
North Windham and what is known as
the "Bricktop road" in Wlndham cen
ter, about noon to-day, has ragged all
the afternoon and was still burning at
a late hour tonight. The prevailing
high winds caused the fire to spread
rapidly and a force of upwards of one
hundred men We're soon on the scene.
AT different times during the afternoon
it was thought that the fire was under
control, but in a short while it would
break out again in some unexpected
place. 1t is variously estimated that
between 300 and 500 acres of valuable
woodland have been burned over The
fire will have to burn itself out.

indianapolis, Sept 12,-At 5:15 o'clock
this afternoon President Mitchell and
Secretary Wilson of the United Mine
Workers of America affixed their sigma
lures to the document which will call
1000 miners of the Pennsylvania an
thracite region from their work Monday
morning and precipitate one of the most
gigantic strikes in the history of the
labor world
The document was the official indorse-
ment Of the request of the anthracite
districts to strike. 1t was considered
by the national executive board of the
mine workers last week ard when the
board adjourned all power to indorse
the request for the strike was left in
the hands of the national president and
secretary. The official order to strike
was sent to the three presidents of the
Pennsylvania districts. This afternoon
President Mitchell and Secretary Will
son sat IN the headquarters ana recelV-
ed the kilograms from different parts
of the anthracite region hoping, they
said that each message might be some
concession from the operators that
would prevent the strike, but none
came.
The three district presidents reported
this afternoon that of the 143,000 men
in the three districts $4,000 would go
on a strike Monday. President Mitch
ell would not state what secret influ-
ences w2re at work to prevent the strike
and which caused the delay. He said
the person at work had offered his SER
vices voluntarily and the matter was
confidential AS to maintaining the
men during the strike. he said: TT Is
safe to say that nobody will starve or
want for necessary clothing. Most of
