DEAD TO HER FAMILY.
High-Caste Hindoo Girl Who Was
Ostracised Because She Became
q Christian.

A young Hindoo girl, convert to
Methodism, has been on visit to Bos-
ton during the past few weeks. Her
name is Sooboonagam Animal, which is
shortened to Sooboo for purposes of
friendly conversation, says an eastern
contemporary.
Sooboo is particularly interesting
from the fact that she belongs to
high-caste family-a caste deemed SUI
perior in India to ordinary mortal as
ISOLATION. The girl heard the mission
preachers at first with contempt, but
she ended by running away from her
aristocratic home to the mission and
said she had become a Christian. In
leaving her gods behind her she left
also her jewels.
First the angry and desperate father
came to the mission and threatened to
put Sooboo's new friends in Jail for kid
naping. The girl was produced and
elected to stay where she was. The
father went away uttering the final
word, "Outcast!" which is a sentence
of death
But soon the broken-hearted mother,
who never goes forth and whose visit
to the mission was contamination,
came and pleaded with Sooboo to re-
turn to the home of those who had
reared her and had loved her. The girl
declared her love for her mother, but
refused to, go back. Then came flu
neral services, as of one dead. The
I, L II
her visit to the mission, could not be
present, but walked 1,COG miles to the
river Gauges and held mourning serv-
ice there. Then she came home and
walled up the door of Sooboo's room.

She Was First.

Miss Anna Holl, of Minneapolis, was
the real thing at the opening up of the
White Earth Indian reservation at
Crookston. She left the city accom-
panied by her two brothers, all of
whom intended to file on locations
when the reservation was thrown
open. When they arrived at Crooks
ton the two brothers, seeing the propo-
sition that they were up against,
backed out. The young lady, how
ever, stayed right with the possession,
and was the third person in line, after
standing up all night, when the doors
of tina land Office were opened.
Miss Holl has taken up this land
with the idea of running ranch of
her own, and will at once start in to
cultivate her soil. Having formerly
taught school at Godahl, Mimi, she
also hopes to devote few months of
each year in such work where she now
is located.

A Bad Cavern.

There was bad caving in of one of
the walls of the new Peavey annex on
Rice's Point in Duluth. The annex is
composed of Is bins of concrete con-
suruction with intermediate bins be-
tween.
They are 90 feet in height and 35
feet in diameter, and hold about rs,
900 bushels of wheat each.
Evidently there was some defact in
the wall, for it gave way at a point
some distance down from the top, and
great mass of concrete and grain
crashed into the bin adjoining, which
was practically empty.
This mass struck the opposite wall
of the circular bin and plugged a big
hole in it, and through this some of
the concrete debris and and about 81

Architect Gilbert Satisfied.

The work of the construction on the
new state capitol dome has been dis
continued until spring owing to the
instruction of Architect Cass Gilbert.
Mr.. Gilbert says that the bell of the
dome should not be constructed until
the walls of the building have thor
oughly settled. A careful examina-
ton has shown that so far the walls
have settled but one-siXteenth of an
inch. The capitol commission passed

on the dome, and $4,000 on general

Bodies Were Petrified.

Many Of the people in Ely, who have
friends and relatives buried in the old
burying ground south of town have
been engaged in removing them to the
new cemetary, east of the city, and,
very much to their surprise, have dis
covered that there have been several
instances of petrifaction. The re-
mains of Mr.. Polkinghorn and of Mr..

state of preservation. The features
and clothing of both of the men looked
as fresh as the day they were laid to
rest, and it took five men to remove
their remains from the grave.

Evening journal., 1900-11-19

This election has demonstrated
anew that radical changes should be
made in our ballot law, and especially
in the provisions relating to the
stamping and marking Of the ballots
by the voters. In all the counties
many ballots were thrown out because
they were stamped and marked i'm
properly, and the injustice done in the
name of the law was doubly deplorable
Because in most instances the intent Of
the voters was clearly apparent to
both the election officers and the court
But they had little or no option in the
matter because OF the mandatory pro-
visions of the law. II the ballot stamp
Is to be continued in use. some new
design should be adopted, and the
stamp should be of such form that no
voter, however dumb and illiterate.
will use the butt end of 1t instead Of
the end bearing the official mark Not
that alone, but provision should be
made to safeguard ballots from being
thrown out because the ink from the
samp has smeared and made a blot.
Voters cannot judge to nicely the
amount Of ink the stamp will take from
a pad and transfer to the ballot, or the
actual effect such ink will have on the
face OF the ballot in the process of
folding. The members of the Legisla-
ture all Of whom are familiar with the
good and bad features of the law,
should put their heads together and
frame bill that will preserve the good
features and cure the defects in the
present law.

MILLIONS m AUTOMOBILES

The automobile has come to stay.
That is made apparent not only by the
high favor with which this vehicular
innovation has been received, but also
by the large amounts Of money which
are being invested by men OF practical
mind who are engaged in the manu-
facture OF horseless carriages, or who
see brilliant opportunities for money
making In such manufacture and will
emulate the enterprise of those who
entered the field earlier. In the New
York Journal of Commerce Charles r..
Flint says: Automobile manufacturing
is destined to become one OF the great
est industries of the twentieth CEN
tury. During the next five years $780,
100000 will be expended by purchasers
Of automobiles. Three million dollars
was so invested last year. The industry
ls further advanced in Europe, where
last year 1000 vehicles were in use
representing stO,OOO.OOO capital"
Robert McA. Lloyd president Of the
Electric Vehicle Company, says: "The
possibilities Of the industry are almost
unlimited. With the same amount OF
street room. II is possible to do three
times as much business as with horses.
Then there is the decrease in wear and
tear upon streets and in the expense OF
street cleaning. The New York We
hicle Company has added to the num-
Der of it's vehicles, and will have be-
tween 800 and 400 in operation this
Winter, while it expects to operate SOC
next Summer"
This is conclusive proof that the
industry is on a settled basis, and thai
It's extensive development is but {
matter OF few months. And now thu
question arises, How long will it b.
before the price of an automobile will
TALL to such a figure that persons II
moderate circumstances will he able Il
enjoy the pleasures OF the ownership
Of such vehicles without doing serlou
violence TO their bank accounts ant
being accused by their friends ant
neighbors Of being guilty OF gross cx
travagance.

sALEs foR IAxEs IN WAsHINGION

A case just has been reported OF the
sale Of lot Of land in the city of
Washington for arrears OF taxes, which
illustrates the difference between the
tax laws Of the United States govern
ment and those which prevail in the
city of Wilmington and New Castle
county. In this instance the tax as
sessed in 1897 was not paid by the
arst day of April, 1898. Under the law
the property was advertised for sale
for two weeks by public advertisement,
no other notice being required by the
law to be given to the owner. on
April 16 it was sold. and the purchas-
err under the law received a deed fol
the property on April 16, 1900. II
some cases the amount Of taxes ovei
due on building lots was only sixty
eight cents. The expenses Of the salt
are fixed by law at 1927, and in thi
particular case the building lot wa
sold for sI95. If the property is no
! redeemed in two years an sbsolut
deed is given to the purchaser.
