Our Skill in India.
per man

The five American locomotives now
in use on the Bengal Central railway
in India are giving fair satisfaction.
They were at first found to consume
a great deal more coal than British
engines, but after certain alterations
mad been made the fuel consumption
was reduced to the English rate. These
engines have been running since the
summer of 1899 and last year similar
locomotives were supplied to the AS
sam Bengal railway, and also for the
Oudh and Rohilkhund line, as well as
for the Burma railway.

WHITE GIRL AS INDIAN.
She Has Had a Strange Life Among the
Blackfeet.

Blackfeet.
The curious story of white girls
life among the Blackfeet Indians for
16 years Just come out through suit
brought by Alice Burke against Thorn
as Husson, cattle rancher Of Eastern
Oregon to recover ranch which once
belonged to her father, and is now
valued at $4,000 dollars, says the Chi
cago Herald" Burke and old Husson
started to cross the plains from Kansas
to Oregon. Burke was detained and
sent his girl, then two years old, with
Mrs. Husson. Husson sold the child to
a Blackfoot Indian Chief for IL ponies,
and when Burke arrived in Oregon
told him that Alice had died. Six years
ago Burke died, and the Illusions have
been in possession Of his ranch. Alice
meanwhile grew up among the tribe,
and when white people noticed her fine
hair, the Indians said she was half
breed whose parents were dead. She
gained the love of the son Of chief
named Fleetwing, who was sent to
Carlisle. When he was there Alice took
lessons of the Indian agents wife and
kept pace with him in his studies.
When the agent was removed she went
with him to Boise City, but his wife
died, and she had to take a place as
a servant, and was a kitchen drudge
for many months. Then Fleetwing sent
her money, and she returned to the
reservation. The revelation of her
white blood came when she was an APP
plicant for a place in big tribal cere-
mony. Then young Husson appeared
and told her the story, but offered her
only 800 for her fathers property.
She refused and Investigated, and is
now suing for the recovery of the land.
When she gets it she is to marry John
Fleetwing.

Origin of Asulnaldo'. Name.

A writer in one Of the prominent
magazines gives a very curious origin
of the name of Aguinaldo. the Philip
pine ex-chieftsin. Its source is found
in the French words, "Au gui L an
neufl" the cry used by the Druid
priests in their ancient ceremonies
when going out to cut the mistletOe at
the New York. In popular speech thisl
phrase was pronounced Aguilanneauj
and was carried over into the Spanish.

"Aguinaldo." a Christmas box or pres
ent given to the children at the holi-
days.

any of his stalwart followers, was a
prisoner in the hands Of
three slaves-a prisoner within
sound of his own camp-and so surely
a prisoner that he had no way of es-

powerless beneath the cruel bonds, and
his mouth was stopped from the utter
ance of alarm. He was lifted from the

a powerful horse, and in few mo-

ions-away towards the city where

to breeding in the Eastern and Southern

1t is not for me to say whether the
posltlon taken by the G 10 b e at this

creating and building up active and ag-
gresS1ve interest in intelligent and sys-
tematic breeding-breeding for a pIr-
pose-only that at this time there was a
very great and practical growth of such
interest. 1t was about the time the
late Peter Hopkins and c. A. De Graf

not space to point out the steps by
which the breeding industry of the state
grew and multiplied, nor to mention by
name the pioneers in this important
work, until now Minnesota is the home
OF as fine stock as is produced in any
state in the Union. My only purpose be-
ing to revive the fact that in the early
days when the experiment required both
faith and determination the Globe in
its sport department was trying to
hold up the hands of those embarking
in the undertaking, in which it had the
valuable assistance of Capt. Atkins
And valuable assistance it was that
Capt Atkins gave. AS [ have already
said he had given the breeding of the
harness horse most thorough and search
ing study. Add to that the fact that the
conclusions reached by him were based
on results, not theories, and his fitness
for giving advice will be Appreciated
While Capt. Atkins was thus thoroughly
grounded he possessed that happy fac
ulty of being able to explain and demon
strate his position, either in conversa-
ton or by the pen, in a most interesting
and entertaining manner
1t was in this work upon the Globe,
in its early days, that 1 came to really
know Capt Atkins That the seed he
then helped to sow has borne good fruit
that Minnesota as a whole is better for
his having lived-there is no question.
Nor is there any question that his death
has left an aching void In many heart,
here in Minnesota, as well as in the
home of his birth and death. He was a
manly man, a true friend, a good citi-
zen. Peace and joy be with him in the
beyond James D. Wood.

WILLIAM DAWSON.

On the decease of the late William
Dawson there has passed out of the life
of st. Paul one who for an entire NE
time filled an important place in the
business life of the community Mayor
Of the city in its early days, Mr.. Dawson
was looked to at every stage in our mu-
nicipal growth for twenty-five years and
upwards as one whose Judgment was en-
titled to the highest respect, whose de-
votion to the welfare Of the community
was undoubted and whose knowledge of
existing conditions was so accurate AMI
far-sighted as to entitle his words to
Immediate acceptance.
Under the able direction of Mr.. Daw-
son the Bank of Minnesota became one
of the soundest and most popular finan-
ciaI houses in the entire state. That its
affairs should have been Just brought to

of the truth that human judgment is
finite; that the progress of events in the

that only the most clear-sighted and

MAKE AN END OF TT.

The situation in the abstract clerks Of
fee of Ramsey county is one which re-
fleets the utmost discredit on the entir=
community. It is the inevitable out
come of special legislation enacted to ad-
vance individual ends and of political and
official methods which are wholly without
apology.
The department administered by the
abstract clerk has or should have no
separate or distinct place in county gov
eminent. 1t should exist, if at all, as
an essential part of the machinery of the
office Of the register of deeds, and the
functions of it's head should be discharged
in connection with the latter office.
There is no county in the state In
pendently of the Office of register Of
deeds, save Ramsey county alone That
it is so maintained here is merely the re-
suit of the old processes Of legislation
which enabled offices to be created and
their powers and emoluments to be ad-
justed to meet individual demands.
Apart from the anomaly and wrong
which is represented by the separate ex-
istence of the abstract office it's present
administration has for a long time past
Occasioned considerable scandal. In
some years past that 1t has not been
involved in trouble of one kind or an
ether. More litigation has arisen out of
it, and it has been greater source of
public and private dissatisfaction and
expense than any other office now ex-
tant under our county system
These results have in great measure
been the natural outcome of the circuiu-
stances attending the creation ard
maintenance of the office. The deman l
which is now made that the expenses of
the Office for some time past shall be
paid out Of the proceeds of county taxes
is indeed extraordinary. The demand
is in itself such an indictment of the Of
fee and it's administration as to demand
tihO SPCOOy LlISl NGlIllOll VI TIE 1SSISld-
ture, as well as of county public au-
ttority. If the fact that the pay of the
clerks in the office remains in AREA rs
is due to the present abstract clerk that
gentleman should either resign or his
Office be declared vacant If 1t is u
legitimate result of the absence of ade-
quate income derivable from the office,
then, as a matter Of common sense, the
Office should be abolished.
If we are not mistaken the office now
exists by virtue of a special law. The
fact that 1t is the only distinct public
abstract Office maintained in the state
makes this reasonably certain. If we
are right the legislature should take
steps to bring the office and it's affairs
to an end either by merging it and it's
affairs in the Office of the register of
deeds abolishing it wholly
The people of Ramsey county certain
ly win not tolerate the idea of paying
the expenses of a public office out of the
public treasury especially when 1t is
apparent that the Office has no separate
useful public function to discharge

FOOT, FRIENDS.

IL Admiral Sampson is inclined to petit
ton Omnipotence for help his prayer
now should be, from our fool friends,
good Lord, deliver us.
With the recommendation of the presi-
dent to advance Sampson three numbers
and Schley two numbers, there appear
in the Sampson newspapers the old stero-
typed lies and each vies with his neigh
Dor in pouring on the head of Admiral
Schley the yilest and most unreasoning
abuse.
From the beginning of the Sampson
Schley controversy the special pleaders
for Sampson have resorted to abuse Of
Schley, rather than to the evidence Of
the services of Sampson, to obtain their
end
1t was this attempt to tear down the
reputation of one gallant officer to build
up the fortunes of another that brought
on the unpleasant dispute. 'The people
read the evidence land much that was
not evidence), as it appeared in the press
and although Sampson was SUPPORTED by
the entire administration press, backed
by the secretary of the navy, the people
as a jury found for Schley and against
Sampson The proof of TITS verdict was
demonstrated during the pageant well
coming Admiral Dewey in New York
city
1t was hoped that this matter would
not be resurrected, at least the malicious
part of it, but that was evidently futile
as the cuckoo press and some journals
that are supposed to be independent have
entered the lists for Sampson armed with
nothing but the venom of abuse for the
man who was lucky enough to De- IL COM
mand at Santiago.

Whole bill is perhaps the one to establish

one car load or five car loads will not
very materially affect the price. But
granting that the arrangement would be
a useful one, it would not require tho
service of more than one official at a
salary of $1,000 or $1,000 a year and such
official might be assigned to one of sew
eral departments, such as the board of
corrections and charities, the depart
ment of the state auditor or of the pub

On the whole, the bill looks as if ii
had been modelled after a law in force
in some other state, without any knowl-
edge of or regard to conditions existing
here in Minnesota That is the chart
table view of it. Others might see in it

pile a rich, rare, unblushing political
graft and they would have plenty OF
good reasons for looking at it in that
light. The supporters of the bill point
to the satisfactory results obtained in
other states, where similar laws are in
operation. The bill would certainly be
a crying necessity, if its main provi-
sions had not been otherwise provided
for years ago and in much more econ
omical and satisfactory way. AS it is,
the most salient point of the bill is, that
it would provide soft berths for a lot Of

time before its fall If he erred, and. if
through his error, his friends and pa
irons suffered there is no man who at
his grave side can today conscientiously
declare that his error was other than
one of judgment, or that his misfortunes
were other than the result of forces
which men even as highly gifted in bust
ness capacity as he showed their inabil-
ity to control.
To those who knew William Dawson in
his personal relationship and apart from
his character as banker AMI business
man, his loss will be incurred as that Of
man of the broadcast human .sympa-
thies, of high Intellectual entlowments
and of splendid range of culture and
scholarship. 1t was perhaps because the
side of his character which related to
business engagements was mostly pre-
scented to those who were brought IL con-
tact with him that William Dawson, the
man, was so little known He was as ten
der as a child in his sensibilities and as
considerate of the sensibilities of others.
His reticenCe was too often mistaken for
lack of feeling. His reserve, for ccncen-
tration on schemes for his own enrich
ment. He had all the instructive sharp
ness in a business transaction which is
generally regarded as characteristic of
the men of the North of Ireland but his

wrong on others, and it's fruits were
shared in by many men who lived to ira
duce him.
Had the deceased gentleman brought
his life to a close crowned with the sue
cess which had attended it up TO its clos
ing years there would be many more to-
lay wreath upon his coffin than will
present themselves now. But, While it
is human that it should be so, the friends
who knew the man well in life Will esti-
mate none the less truly the great loss
which the community sustains III his
death, or mourn the less devotedly the
goodness and gentleness which marked
their friend in AL his relations with his
fellows.
While MIR. Dawson lived the allotted
space, and during his lifetime Old his full
share of good to those around him, the
loss which his family endures in his
death will come with exceptional peign-
ancy at this time. He might have been
removed by kind Providence before mis-
troubles came thick and fast upon him,
with less of pain to his kindred. He has
but paid the debt of nature little late.
His worth may be clouded by his ADVERSE
ties. But he leaves behind him a record
of good done for the community, one of
whose leading members he was for many
years, which will live as long as any
record is extant of the city's growth ana
development. Now that he has passed be-
yond all disappointment those who loved
him in life will love him none the less in
death.

To the Editor of the Globe:
In your issue of Feb 49, in your report
Of my sermon of the day previous, L am
made to say: Physical violence is some
thing that ought not to be recognized, yet
Mrs. Nation has done great and good
work"
viii you kindly permit me space in
your columns to say that that entirely
misrepresents nv idea of Mrs. Nations
work. I do not think her work great
and good" 1 think it only tends to breed
lawIessness. We have altogether too
much lawlessness in this country already.
1 am entirely of Susan B. AnLhony's
view: 1.-The Ratchet is the weapon of
barbarism, the ballot is the one weapon
of civilization"
When disregard of law is once begun,
no one can tell where it will end.
Smashed churches, poisoned wells, people
dying from drinking the water, reVivale
protected by guns. ministers of the gospel
armed on the streets, are the reports
now reaching us from Kansas. 1t is an

perish by the sword" Compel the prop
erly appointed officers to execute the
