DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS.

Passes Away ut Detroit,

Detroit, Mich, April s.-John NJ. B.

eral for the United States to Corea,
from 1898 to 1897, died at Grace hos
pital Saturday. For year or more
in fact, since his return from the ori-

Mr.. Sill has been failing, and since
Christmas has wasted rapidly away.
Mr.. Sill, who was born in Black
Rock, N. Y, in 1881, was minister to
Corea during the Chinese-Japanese
war, and his legation was the refuge
of many, of the Corean court dignitar-
les after the sensational assassina-
ton of the queen of that kingdom. He
occupied prominent position as an
educator, having been superintendent
of the Detroit schools and principal of
the state school at Ypsilanti. He was
the author of two grammars, which

wife and two children.

THE GOVERNMENT FARM.
In Bad Shape for Experiments OWING
to Land Being Used in To-
bacco Culture.

Secretary Wilson has a corps OF
men at work at the government farm
adjoining the Arlington national
cemetery, but 1t will be probably a
year or two before the place will be
in shape where experiments in farm
ing can be conducted. In talking
about the government farm Secre-
tary Wilson frankly said it was I'M
doubtedly the worst piece of land he
ever saw. 1t needed grading, drain
ing and fertilizing. and it will be
some time before the land will be in
shape to grow grass.
This land has been used for the
production of tobacco for so many
years that the fertility has been COM
pletely exhausted, hence it will be
necessary for the agricultural de-
partment to fertilize it to put in
shape for farming purposes.
The secretary has not outlined
plan to be conducted in connection
with this farm, but will wait for con-
gress to say what must be done.
There is an annual appropriation of
$4,000 for conducting the farm, but
in addition to getting the land in
fertile condition buildings and out
houses must be constructed.
1t will be a long time before the
farmers of the country will gain any
practical benefit from the govern
ment farm at the national capital,
but in the meantime the expert
mental stations throughout the coun-
try are at work making experiments
which will ultimately result in finan-
cial benefit to the farmers and will
lessen their work,

EDUCATION OF INDIANS.
Compulsory Training of Children Of
Red Men Considered Necessary
for Their Welfare.

Compulsory education of the Indians
is advocated by the superintendent Of
Indian schools, who shows that only
half of the 10000 Indian children at.
tend school. 'Civiiization only comes
to people by the slow process of edu-
cation" says the report of the super
intendent of Indian schools, land unless
we educate and civilize the majority
of the children the down pull of the ig.
norant will be grea .er than the uplift
of the educated.
1.-THE government is endeavoring to
prepare the Indian for independence
and citizenship, and to confer this boon
upon people without first requiring
their education is the greatest unwis-
dom. 1t is necessary for the protec
ton of the state and the nation that
the youth of the country be educated,
for upon the virtue and intelligence OF
the people depends the stability of the
government. With education will come
morality. cleanliness, self-respect, in.
dustry. and, above all, Christianized
humanity. the foundation of the worlds
progress and well being.
If we would be successful in our
work, the Indian child must be placed
in school before the habits of bar.

there he must be kept until contact

A VALUABLE BOOK.
Government Issues Beautiful Work
Descriptive of Eskimo Life.
The Work of MIR. Nelson, Whose Ex-
plOrRtiOns Have Been Almost Bc-
yond Nalue from Wonderful
Versatility of Knowledge.

By far the most beautiful and elab-
crate publication ever produced by
the government has just been issued
by the bureau of American ethnology
and is minute study of the lives of
Uncle Sans curious Eskimo childen
about Behring strait. The work is
that of Mr.. Edward William Nelson,
| whose explorations for the govern
ment have been almost beyond value
from the wonderful versatility of his
scientific knowledge. without which
an explorer is of little benefit to man
kind
There are hundreds of the most
beautiful illustrations in Mr.. Nell
sons work, made by Mr.. Wells NJ.
Sawyer, illustrator of the bureau of
American ethnology, telling in pic
tured story the artS and crafts of
these curious Indians. The writer
gives a most minute detail of the
house life and social customs of the
Eskimos, their moral character, curl
Gus religious and mortuary customs,
totems and family marks, wars among
the various tribes. and even close
study of the games and toys, music,
dances, feasts and festivals. while the
literature is rich and fascinating with
folk lore tales and mythology. He
makes one know this semisavage race
as though they were right here on our
own soil instead of thousands of miles
away over a trackless waste of frozen
country.
In order to further his work Mr..
Nelson had to enlist as a private in
the regular army, and in connection
with this comes tale of the snobbish
side Of army and navy life at the
capital. Upon his return to Washing
ton his name was proposed as mem.
Der of the famous Cosmos club, which
Is composed principally of the best
known scientists of this and other
countries, some of whom are army
and navy officers. These men object
ed to the famous explorer and sci
enlist upon the ground that he was a
private in the regular army. The old
scientists of the club got wind of the
matter, and had it come to a contest
they would have made it lively for the
snobs. Luckily the matter was not
brought up, and Mr.. Nelson never
knew how near he came to being os-
tracized on account of his enlisting in
the army in furtherance of science.
The present volume on the Eskimo Is
the first. and another and even more
elaborate work is still in the hands of
the printers and binders. and will be
issued in the next few months.

with very sad face did not go out
with the other children during the
noon recess. Most of the children
bring their lunch and they generally
eat it out in the hall. But for sew
eral days this girl remained in her
seat and busted herself with her
school work. One day, when re-
manned in the room during recess,
she brought out her little lunch bas-
it. I then discovered that for over
a week that child had carried an
empty lunch basket to school, rath-

Postmaster General Smith has re-
ceived unique walking stick, which
is known as the convict's cane. 1t was

sands of cancelled postage stamps,
wound round thin steel rod, subject

with the following letter:
II ship you by express, prepaid, a
cane made from cancelled stamps af-
fixed to three-sixteenth inch spring

Jected to high pressure, and then
worked down into it's present form,

year in making this cane, working at
it during my leisure time. and have
taken great care and pains to make it
durable. My purpose in sending this
cane is that / am shortly to be dis
charged and will try to live bonorably
in the future. l am serving term for
my first offense and am heartily sick
of the life. / leave the penitentiary in
the dead of winter and it may be some
time before can find employment.
am trying to raise some money to en-
able me to live until can obtain en-
ployment. If, after you have exam
ined the cane, you would like to keep
it, whatever amount you will send me
will be greatly appreciated and l will
be truly grateful for your assistance.
If you do not want the cane you can
return it at my expense. Respectfully,
''Number 1895"
Upon receipt of the cane the post
master general wrote to the warden
of the penitentiary and inclosed a
check for the convict.
