FoR THE nENEFlr or INDIANS.

A peculiar kind Of phllanthroplc work
is projected by lady teacher Of Santa
Fe She proposes 10 take some Indian
girls into her home and teach them
spinning and weaving and such other
useful arts as formerly were considered
part Of homework Then they win be
sent back to their friends and It IS be-
lleved they win further teach what they
have learned TO others. She also pro-
poses to teach them how to take care
Of vegetable and flower gardens
It seems to US that this plan OF
spreading civilization among the abor-
lelnes IL worthy Of consideration by all
Interested In that work. Indian chill
dren have been given a book education
and then returned to their own folks.
But this has not proved a success, Book
learning Is OF no earthly use among an
untutored people amid surroundings
where II cannot be used. The effect Of
this is that instead Of the veneer Of
education spreading out over the rough
surface, Il is simply rubbed OF from
where It was applied. A student sent
out into wild surroundings where he has
no opportunity Of practIcing what he
has been taught viii soon lapse into his
natural state and forget most Of what
he learned at school.
II Is different with such useful arts as
spinning and weaving, the cultivation
Of seeds and flowers, An these would
be valuable achievements. They would
not be forgotten. but End imltators.
They would form a stepping stone, in all
probability, TO higher planes Of olvillza-
ton. An progress from a state Of saw
acery must be gradual. BY attempting
to climb TOO high at time. fan is sure

Utah with the Indian settlements Is
chiefly due 10 the wisdom with which
the red men have been gradually led to
appreciate the benefits Of the cultiya-
ton OF the soil and the home life

GIRLS COMPARED.

An investigation Of peculiar interest

Anna Barr. Of the physical training de-
partment Of the university Of Nebraska.

that the Western woman Is physically

To be more explicit upon a subject Of
such Importance. II has been found that
the girls from the East are flatter

such personality lives win show Il,

Miss Anna Barr has paid a great
compliment 20 the Western woman. and
found that the idea Of the West as

eous. Widness must be locked for

THE RECENT STRIKE.

The ympathles Of the public have

who felt themselves compelled to strike
for an Increase Of wages al the smelters

cause appeared to be just In the Sec

In the third place, they showed no dis

All this is highly gratifying But It

tory 20 the workmen or 10 their fam
illes. Il was evidently undertaken with
out sufficient organization or backing,
and with a wrong idea as to the dis
position and ability Of the employers to
resist their claims.
II Is astonishing and painful to most
people that laborers. in the kind Of
work required at the smelters are only
paid $40 a day. having TO board them
selves. How can a man with family
to provide Tor manage to keep his head
above water on such a stipend? Con-
slderlng the rise in the cost OF living. It
seems that the companies who have In
their own hands the regulation OF prices
for smelling ores, might make a reason

their workmen a chance to live decent-

No one thinks that capitalists should
be expected to conduct business at a
loss. or without a fair interest on their
investments. But the general opinion
is that the grievance Of the strikers
at Murray was well founded, II not well
presented and carried to a successful
issue.
II IS hoped that the merits OF this

nlzed by the directors Of the companies,
and II they viii now voluntarily make

come an the more alarming on the
other side Of the seas would be found
great fortified camps such as we have
IN Europe. there would be one IN Eng
land and another IN America. and both
nations could truly be said to be under

lola Is not the only one who thinks
the present outlook Is discouraging
Europeans everywhere. groaning under
the burdens Of militansm, royallsm
and autocratc power, have always
been looking to this country as their
ideal, and the pattern according to
which in time. human governments
would be moulded The starry banner
was indeed so many stars Of hope In
dlcating a future universal sovereignty
Of human rights over special privileges.
But 10 a great many the war with
Spain appeared 10 place this country
In the same category as the European
countries with their war armies and
military aspirations To the friends Of
peace even the stars OF hope seem
dImmed by the mlsts that rise from
battlefeds ana military camps
But there Is no ground Tor the view Of
lola and those he represents in the
matter The Spanish war was not a
struggle for conquest. It was, as de-
clared by Congress, purely a conflict in
the name Of humanity lola, himself
though a champion Of peace and law.
If he should witness the attempt OF a
ruillan TO assasslnate a victim. and II
he were IN a position 10 prevent the
murder, would do so. even If he had to
resort to violence for the time being.
The principle holds as good
between nations as between in
dIyiduals. The Spanish war, itself, in
stead Of retarding the progress Of peace
gave new impetus to that movement
by narrowing considerably the sphere
Of influence Of one Of the old world
military powers.
lola speaks OF a dangerous inclIna-
tion to war in this country There may
possibly be a small class that Is dazzled
by military glory, partly because Of
their innate love for adventure, and
partly because Of the possibilities In the
way Of Offices that 80 with the said
glory but the people, as a people, It
can be safely be said, are as much OPP
posed to militarism as ever The thou

And the thousands that went, IN res

American people today stand, as ever

peace and good will upon earth every

Of the triumph Of that cause. History

MAN WHO DEFENDED cUITRAt
A Morose, Unapprsaehable Heret
Living Alone in . Ss-
eluded SPOT.

A party of Indiana fishermen just re
turned from trip among the remote
and unfrequented lakes of northern
Indiana, ran across little cabin occu'
pied by Attorney Scovill, the lawyer
who defended C. ]. Guiteau in bis tria!
for the assassination of President Gar
fold says the Emporia Gazette.
The humble cottage in which SEQ
vii was found is situated near the birs'
of Mud lake, where he lives the life Il
the most rigid recluse, neither seeint
nor being seen. Ills simple wants are 81 q
piled by the merchants of the near 4.
town. He puts in his time, pobc
knows how, as his untempt and IN
eouth figure is seldom seen outside I d.
walks OF the little low cottage, hi!t
hidden by the growth of twiping yiref
and undesbrush.
From un able, nffable and influentitl
barrister, Scovill has grown into tau
turn, morose, unapproachable hermit,
desiring no communication with The
world in which he WAS such corspicr-
Gus figure as only counsel for his relu
tive Is years ago. Scoyill feels that he
is still Stunned and despisod by every
body for his part in trying to save thr
neck of Guiteau on the ground OF
hereditary insanity, though he con
tends that he did nothing more than
his duty. The loss of his wife and
other misfortunes that seemed to pur-
sue him with a relentless hand added TO
his melancholy and confirmed him In
his determination to abandon the
world and spend the remained of his
days in seclusion.
For several years Scovill has led the
life of hermit, spending his time at
the most secluded spots he could find.
He still contends that Guiteau was men
tally irresponsible for his act in kill
ing the president, and points to the rec
ord of the family, a number of whom
have both before and since the tragedy
been confined in madhouses.
