of Indians is succumbing to the ener-
waiting influence of the tailor-made
coat. The Topokaws, of whom few
lonely individuals still survive, were an
agricultural race living happily in the
bottom lands of the Colorado river,
near the Gulf of California. They
peacefully titled the soil and went
about as their ancestors had done for
hundreds of years, enjoying life IN
their untutored fashion. But one day
sudden envy of the white mans ward
robe implanted itself in their breasts.
Then after each harvest the head OF
the family put seventy-fve or nun
dred pounds of corn into small sacks
and made the seventy-ive mile jour
ney to Yuma. Here the corn was sold
to the traders for about $3.50. which is
fully so cents under the market value,
and he invariably spent all of the pro-
ceeds in shirts and overalls for him
self and calico for his wives.
1t was not alone the unaccounted
physical oppression following the wear
ing of these unusual garments that
weakened the savages, but they even
began to deny themselves proper food
in saving money to make additions TO
their collections of store clothes" To
be dressed like the neighboring white
man was a distinction among the
braves that cost them dear.
Prof. w. j. MCGEE, of the Bureau OF
Ethnology, said of this strange case;
THE fact is, they are dying from
civilization, or it would be more prop
err to say from the fact that their civ
ilization has not kept pace with Their
ambition. They are interesting people
from the fact that they are the low

New York, Dec. 27.-Every woman is

but they Will develop so naturally no
one will be surprised at them. Fifty
years ago the most prosperous business
enterprise for women was millinery,
but men for a generation have been
gradually stealing the trade until now
the largest millinery houses are owned
and managed by men. One man-mil-
liner in New York has recently built
a million dollar hotel with the profits
of his trade. Fifty years ago thou
sands of women enjoyed a pleasant
and local distinction for especial skill
in the construction of that American
dainty known as the pie. In time men
looked upon the appetite of the pie
loving American as a possible source or
revenue and Immediately conspired to
steal the art from women. The pie
rapidly disappeared from the home TO
reappear in the factory. One factory
in New York turns out 10000 pies a
day. each one guaranteed to be as
good as mother made.
Whether in the fifty years to come
women will reclaim these vocations
which have always been considered
essentially feminine, or whether men
will possess them entirely and will
make the bonnets and pies of the world
is impossible to predict. If, however,
these industries are forever lost to
women, it is safe to prophecy that
the sagacity, enterprise and original
ity of women will via compensating
vocations from men. Who knows but
it may be the manufacture of hammers
and nails?
Fifty years hence women will long
have been enfranchised in the Uunited
States. They will have taken their

of Walter Taylor.
Walter L. H. Taylor, twenty-eight years
old, who is said to have come here from
Jacksonville several years ago. was arrest
ed last night by Detective Hewlett and
locked up at the sixth precinct station
charged with embezzlement. His arrest
was made on complaint of Thomas w. Lam
dergren, manager Of the Washington
branch of the Union News Company. The
exact amount Of the alleged defalcation is
not known, but Mr.. Landergren estimates
It at nearly 81 900. At the time the arrest
was made Taylor had about $50 In his
pocket. He was unable to account for
sum represented to be several hundred dol
lars. except to say that he had spent It.
The manager Of the company's business
here was away on his vacation recently,
and when he returned, 1t is said. found the
amount Of cash on hand to be smaller than
he believed 1t should have been. Taylor
had been left in charge OF the business
during his absence, and his arrest last
NIGHT followed an investigation made by
his employer.
It was ascertained that Taylor had been
