PAINT ON INDIAN FACES.
Nearly All of 1t Means Something to
Those Initiated.

The fact Of the matter is that every
paint mark on an Indians face is a
sign with a definite meaning which
other Indians may read. When an In
dian puts on his full war paint, he
decks himself not only with his own
individual honors and distinctions won
by his own bravery, but also with the
special ,honors of his family or tribe.
He may possess one mark of distinc-
ton only or many. In fact, he may be
so well off in this respect that, like
some English noblemen, he is able to
don new distinction for every Occa-
sion. Sometimes he will wear all his
honors at one time.
Among the Indian tribes is one desig.
mated by the symbol of the dogfish
painted in red on the face. The vari
Gus parts of the fish are scattered
heterogeneously on the surface Of the
face; the peculiarly long snout is paint,
ed on the forehead. the gills are repre-
sented by two curved lines below the
eyes, while the tail is shown as cut in
two and hanging from either nostril.
When only one or two parts of an ami
NAL are painted on a mans face, it is
an indication of inferiority; when the
whole animal appears, even though in
many oddly assorted parts, the sign
is one of great value and indicates a
high rank.
Very peculiar are some Of the honor
able symbols D9intp1 on tho Indians
faces. There are fish, flesh and fowl
of all kinds-dog salmon, devilfish,
starfish, woodpeckers, eagles, ravens,
wolves, bears, sea lions and sea mon
sters, mosquitoes, frogs, mountain
goats and all manner of foot. claw or
beak marks-each with a special mean
ing of its own.-Pearson's Magazine.

Sad Death OF Charles N. Hall.

Charles M. Hall was the victim Of q
frigh'iul and fatal accident about 8 p. M.
last Thursday at the manufacturing plan,
Of the Cssein company of America. He
was caught on q shaft revolving about 1lC
times minute, and before the machine, y
could be stopped was badly mangled. The
bones OF the right arm, the legs and the
feet suffered the most. There WAS also q
fracture at the base of the skull. No one
seems to know just how the accident &C.
Cured. The clothing Of the right arm
seemed to have caught 10 key groove on
the shaft near pulley. There was no set
screw. TIE shaft was two or three fet t
from the wall and Mr.. Hall was on step
ladder between the wall and the shaft some
say preparing to put on belt. Whether
he lost his balance, or the accident hap
pened in some other way is uncertain. The
unfortunate man breathed for over en- hour
after being taken from the shaft.
Mr.. Hall was born November %, 1871.

Some Bills of Local Interest.

There are TWO or three bills pending be.
fore the present New Hampshire legisla.
ture which are of local interest, one Of
chem vitality SO. We refer to the bill to
Stree toll bridges" This is the same
measure that passed in 1895 but was We
toed by the governor. 1t provides that
when the towns interested buy any toll
bridge the 3 ate shall pay such town one
halt ths purchase money. In case this bill
becomes law there will be an excellent
opportunity for Walpole and Rockingham
to join hands and rid the community of the
nuisance which is the only connecting link
over the raging waters of the Connecticut.
The North Walpole Voting Precinct
is bill to give North Walpole the same
rights as have wards of cities for election
purposes. That is, citizens can vote at
general elections in North WaIpole but for
town meetings Tor town purposes must
meet at Walpole as now.
Another bill in effect amends the char
ter of certain toll bridges. The provision
OF the charter now Is that no other bridge
can be built within two mile, up or down
the stream. The pending bill provides for
tribunal to fix damages, if any, in the
event Of bridge being built within the two
mile limit.

The defeat OF Senator Chandler and the
circumstances come cted with it are bound
to have decided IF ,ct on the future poll
tics of New Hampshire. In the first place,
it is a reafirmatlon of the hitherto I'M
broken, if unwritten law OF the state, that
two elections for full terms are enough for
any senator. Blair tried for third term
tor senator, and almost achieved it, but the
defeat Of Chandler was most emphatic. Had
be been reelected, the way would have
been open for third term also tor Sena-
tor Gallir ger, whose second term closes
two years hence, but with Chandler over
wbelmingly defeated, the chances OF Gal
linger at this distance look decidedly small
Perhaps real cation OF this circumstance
kept Senator Gallinger to his job in Wash
ington and decidedly out OF the canvass
this time, Notwithstanding his known en-
nifty to Chandler. In fact, already the
word i, spreading that new deal must be
made throughout.

The question many citizen, are asking is
will the sale of the hotel property to j. G.
Ulery of Brattleboro be intertered with or
any effort made to reopen the house as a
hotel. The most that can BE- said is that
no radical steps have been taken. Pre-
imi airy steps have been taken to.organize
stock company composed Of local bust
ness men, which will purchase Mr.. Ullery's
interest in the property. Ii the business
community really wants the hotel continued
and believes that closing the house is
blow to business interests, here is an op-
portunity.
Even if stock company i, not organ
ized it is possible that the sale will not be
allowed to stand unque,tioned for the re-
port is that the heirs intend to do what
they can to set the sale aside. No steps,
however, have been taken in that direc-
zion.
