W. H. Taylor, general manager Of the
Scranton Lace Curtain Manufacturing
company:
I'm a general way, would say trade
was only fair in the Cleveland admin
istration. At no time was it anything
like we have enjoyed under the Nc
kinley administration. From the be-
ginning of the Mckinley administra-
tion there seemed to be q general con-
fidence by the trade in business con-
ditions which has had the effect of
steadily increasing our volume of trade.
During the years immedia tely pre-
ceding McKinley's inauguration We
worked short-handed and experienced
some idleness. Since about the middle
of the year 1897 we have worked every
day to the full capacity Of the mill,
and recently made an extensive addi-
tion to the plant

''We are at present employing three

such extensive building operations"

INDIANS GOOD WITNESSES.

Judge Shlras Says They Are Generally
More Truthful Than Whites.
Indians make good witnesses and
they stick closer to facts than white
people,
! This statement was made the other
| evening by Judge o. p Shiras of the
| United States District Court of north
ern Iowa, He speaks from experience in
trying many cases in which Indians
We're either concerned or appeared as
witnesses. He was appointed during
the Administration of Chester A. Ar
thur and since has been continually
holding court in his own district, which
comprises thirteen States and three
Territories.
Speaking of his interesting experience
in coming in contact with the Indians
in court he says the red man or woman
is generally accurate. He says: Ask a
white man if he was drunk on a certain
occasion and he will try to wriggle out
of it, but the Indian will come out with
a yes if he was One one occasion
lawyer asked a squaw if she understood
the nature of her obligation in giving
testimony She answered that she had
taken strong word to tell the truth
and she would do so. The truth is the
truth and lie is lie; they are differ
ent and you can't make them alike
you will remember that some six
years ago an Indian named Plenty
Horses was being tried in Sioux Falls
for the murder of Col. Casey of the
United States Army One of the wit
nesses brought in by the Government
was American Horse There had been a
Messiah craze among the indians and
religious phase had been injected into
the trial. In the examination of Ameri-
can Horse he was asked what he knew
about religion. There stood near b.
small table which the witness drew
near him. He placed his finger on the
centre of the table and drew a circle
about it saying: This is what the red

drew larger circle saying that the
white man knew that mucn more. Nov
ing his finger around the outside of the
larger, circle he said: Boy md this The
red man knows as much about the COM
ing of Messiah as the white man.
| Judge Shiras says the Indian makes q
good juror, in which capacity he may
sit after relinquishing tribal relations
and complying with Government sev-
| crafty laws. He says, too, that he has
come in contact with some good Indian
| lawyers
Il think" said he, "there is a mistak-
en- idea about the red man having been
generally mistreated by the Govern
ment. The facts show that they are
the richest people per capita in the
whole country. The trouble is that they
have poor idea of the value of money,
and spend it recklessy. Indians will
walk clear across one State into anoth-
ed to draw their annuities, and in TWEEN
ty-four hours after getting the money
they will have gambled every cent of it
away before they leave the vicinity and
then walk back home to do the same
thing on the next pay day.
1T is astonishing to see the methods
adopted by an intelligent red man TO
get away with his money. Among
other things he has weakness for a
certain kind of amusement known as
the Merry Go Round Recently one VI
the concerns got permission to set up
one of their machines on a reservation
within my circuit. The bucks would
gather about the contrivance and to the
time of a steam turned organ would
ride the whole blessed day. They spent
all the money they had and pawned diff
ferent articles to get more for the same
amusement.
During the last few years the women
took great craze for wearing these
blue bathing suits trimmed in white
braid. The traders are said to have dis
posed Of a large quantity of this tog-
gerry, the squaWs wearing one suit all
the time until worn out when they
would buy another suit. Chicago

mel net. Once through that he is safe
! for atime, and cannot get at the bait
| to eat it all up. If the pot is lifted
| every day, most of the Holsters will be
found at the bait or in the end of the
pot, but if the pot is left for longer
! time the lobster will get hungry and
seeing the bait so near him he will take
steps to get back to it. Sometimes he
will go back through the funnel, but
| usually he will bite through the inner
net. Once through this, he is back at
the bait again, and after satisfying his
hunger, instead of going through the
outer net and on to freedom, he goes
right back through the second net again
as it is the larger opening, and so on
round and round, until the pot is lifted
Were it not for this second net he
would devote all his attention to the
first and would soon be at liberty.
When the pots are to be lifted the
buoy is first taken into the boat The
line is then pulled in until the pot
comes to the surface. The bottom of
one end of the pot is brought to the
edge of the boat so as to give leverage,
as the pots are heavy, and the whole
thing is then lifted aboard, placed
crossWays of the boat and the door of
the pot opened.
1t must not be imagined that Holsters
are the only things that get into these
pots. For every lobster that is taken
there will probably be about a dozen
spider crabs, which are absolutely use
less, and are always killed before being
returned to the water. Quite an assort
ment of wrinkles, which make excellent
bait for black fishing, especially if they
contain hermit crabs, hal<e blue crabe
blacl1fish, rock bass and cells are also
taken in these pots. John Burgess
lighthouse keeper at Faulkner's Island

eel weighing 10 pounds which was ex-
hibited at Guilford as great curiosi-
