LAST OF THE MODOCS.
That Formerly WarIIke Tribe Has
DwIndIed to PItIful Seventy
seven Members.

Another good Indian has been made
by the death of Modoc brave. and now
the bucks Of the tribe have been re-
duced to the fatal 10 in number. Thus
have dwindleS the fighters of the most
warlike tribe of men that ever ar
rayed themselves against an. enemy.
They have been the Ishmaelites of the
Pacific slope. and therefore they were
called "Modocs" by the other tribes,
for "modoc" means enemy"
The entire tribe has dwindled to n
members. all wretched beings, with no
thirst for war. but an ambitionless, in
dolent and dull set of beings that have
cast aside every virtue that they ever
possessed and have taken on every vice
that civilizat ton has offered them. This
remnant, mostly women and diseased
children, that has dwindled from a
fighting power worthy of United States
opposition TO the very verge Of extinc-
ton. is now quartered On a small res
ervation in the Quapaw country south
of Kansas City.
These last Of the Modocs are prison
ers Of war, held by the government, but
allowed great freedom, for they are not
likely TO wander from the supplies
they are provided with, for if they
should they would starve to death.
Only one among them shows any Of
the spirit that once actuated the tribe

Over 100 Persons Frozen to Death
In the Recent Blizzard In
Russia.

London, Jan. LINE Odessa CORE
spondent of the Daily News wires that
100 people were frozen to death in the
blizzard.
The Odessa correspondent of the
Daily Mail sends a heartrending
story of the sufferings of railway pas
sengers snOwbound while on the wav

continuously for more than 100 hours
over the whole of southern Russia.

assembled at Razdyelnaia. A regi-
ment was sent from Kieff southwark,
and 5000 troops went northward from
Odessa with shovels. On the third
day the RELYING parties succeeded in
cutting a passage for a couple of
trains, which started with 1000 per-
sons, after a mad rush, the weakest
going to the wall. The trains proceed
ed for IS hours, and were again stuck
in the snow, unable to go either for
ward or backward. The blizzard con-
tinued. Demoniacal fury and pande.
monium prevailed, the passengers
cursing the railway management,
fainting and weeping. The trains
wer buried, ana all passed a horrible
night. When morning came a peasant
volunteered to walk six miles to the
nearest station with kilograms be-
seeching assistance, supplies, firewood
and water having been exhausted.
Finally, driven to desperation, 60
passengers, with Count Kapnist, de-
termined to walk to Odessa. Count
Kapnist, with 40, reached a point
where be was able to secure sledges,
and all arrived at Odessa, though I'M
certain as to the fate of those they
had left behind. Meanwhile Gov.
Schuvaloff had organized train sledges
with supplies, which, after herculean
efforts, relieved the two trains. 1t
was found that many passengers had
their arms or legs frozen.
Eighteen thousand troops are now
engaged in the work of clearing the
line. The storm has abated. and it is
announced that the besIged trains will
get through to Odessa this evening.
No mails have been received here
for six days. Corpses have been kept
unburied for eight days, as it has been
impossible to inter them. The con-
duet OF the railway authorities is loud

CLUBBED 70 DEATH.
Brutal Murder of a Young Far
mer in Maine.

Portland, Me-, Jan. 14.-Thomas c.
Moshier, farmer, aged 25, was muir
dered, and his mother, Mrs. Rufus
Moshier, aged 70, was brutally as
saulted at their home in Gorham Sat
urday evening by two men, who forced
an entrance into the Moshier resi-
dence with the evident intention of
robbery. After completing their
ghastly work the men ransacked the
house, taking what valuables they
could find. One of the men was a
negro. About noon Sunday William
Hands, a negro, was arrested at Scar
boro. In his possession were found a
blood-stained razor marked with
Moshier's name, $40 in money, con-
sisting chiefly of bills which were also
stained with blood, and watch. His
hands and clothing were soiled and
bloody. The man admits having been
at the Moshier farmhouse, and says
he left his companion in Portland.
The story of the crime, as told by Mrs.
Moshier is as follows:
She and her son had eaten their
supper when a knock was heard at the
door. No attention was paid to it, as
Mrs. Moshier thought the caller might
be a man who formerly worked on the
farm, and who, it is said, left under
somewhat unpleasant circumstances.
Soon after the kitchen windows were
forced in, and two men, one negro,
jumped into the room. Moshier
grappled with the white man, and the
negro knocked down the woman,
striking her a terrible blow on the
head with stick. She begged for
her life, and after striking her again
the negro went to the assistance OF
his comrade. Together they dragged
Moshier into the front room. Mrs.
Moshier fed to a room off the kitchen
and hid in a closet. The noises soon
ceased, and the men went to the eel
lar for food. Mrs. Moshier then fed
lowed by the negro, who demanded
her money. She replied that she had
no money, but told where she kept
her few valuables.
Shortly afterwards the negro re-

Moshier heard them opening drawers
and overturning furniture. After the
men left the house she wrapped her.

to the house of Freeman Richardson,
who lives a quarter of a mile distant.
The police of this city were notified

Moshier was found in the parlor COW

beaten almost to a jelly. In the house
were found two heavy fence stakes,
one Of which was matted with blood
and hair. and had apparently been
used to kill Mosher. Everything of
value was missing. Mrs. Moshier's in
iuries, while serious, are not fatal.

UNDERGROUND CHAMPAGNE.

Visitors to France may go out of

are the bustling, busy places where
the business of Champagne is car
ried on. They are of vast extent.
American and British workmen
woAld probably not trouble themselves
to obtain employment in underground
champagne. Day after day the work
people leave the outer world for II
and ~ hours at a time to discharge
duties which, if not particularly ardu-
ous. must be wearisome by reason Of
their monotony.
An intelligent Frenchman assured
a writer in the Royal Magazine that
he had worked below ground for
nearly As years. His duties consisted
in shaking bottles to dislodge the
sediment. He said that he had shaken

Underground Champagne has a rep

according to the writer the business
tends to sour the dispositions of the
workers. He found most of them tact

one cellar at Epernay he came across
an old man who assured him that the

SHOT DEAD BY A CORPSE.
English Sergeant Killed .
Boer Soldier.

A Boer commando retook those
lines where those who died for us
were lying, and as they marched
among our dead they saw a sergeant
lying at full length, shot through the
brain, yet even in death the man
looked like some fighting machine
suddenly gone out of order, says the
London News. His rife was pressed
against his shoulder, his left hand
grasped the barrel on the under side,
the forefngers of the right hand
pressed the trigger tightly, the barrel
rested out upon rock and his death
dulled eye glared along the sights,
for dissolution had come to him Just
as he bent his head to fire at those
who shot him, and now his hands had
stiffened in the unbendable stiffness
of eternal sleep. A Boer soldier saw
the sergeant as he lay, and with rude
hands grasped the rife by the barrel
and tried to jerk it from the dead
mans grip, but as he pulled he
brought the rife in line with his own
breast, and the unyielding finger on
the trigger did the rest. The rifle
spoke from the dead mans hand, and
the bullet, passing through the Beers
heart, laid him beside the Briton.
Sounds like journalistic lie, does
it not? Read it in a novel, and you
would laugh, would you not? But it
is the eternal truth, all the same, for
the comrade of the Boer who died
that day. killed by a dead man, told
me the tale himself, and he was one
of those who planted the dead Dutch
man on the slope of Spion kdp.

THE YEARS COINAGE,
Some Interesting Figures Complied
iron, Report of Director
OF the Mint.

Washington, Jan. 12.--Mr. George
A.. Roberts, the director of the mint,
Ia his annual report shows that the
coinage Of the past year was in excess
of that executed in any previous year
in 1.-The history of the service, aggregat-
ing $l4l. 351 800, as compared with
$l36, S55, 676 in the last fiscal year. The
value OF the gold coinage was slightly
below that Of the previous year, being
sIO7,937,lIO, as compared with $685.
1T7,lsO. The coinage of silver dollars
was $ls,244, 1854, as compared with $1s,-
254,709 in the previous year. The chief
increase was in the output of sub
kidiary and minor coins, which sur
passed all records and it is stated may
doubtless be attributed to the extraor-
binary activity of retail trade through
out the country. The coinage of sub
sidiary silver amounted to 57,114,270
pieces of the value of $12, SIC, $40, and of
minor coins to the extraordinary total
OF 1O1 ,3O1,753 pieces of the value of So,
243,017. The seignorage or profit on
this coinage was IS, 4T7,525.
The deposits of gold bullion at the
minis and assay offices of the United
States during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1900, exclusive or redeposits,
were of the value of Sl33 ,920, 119,
against S143, 497, 100 reported the pre-
vious year. The total deposits of gold
were not so great as in the previous
year, the imports of bullion showing
a decline, but the deposits of domestic
bullion again surpassed all records,
amounting to $S7, Ass, $50, against &c.,
2ss. 4s7 last year.
The seignorage ON The coinage of
silver dollars, subsidiary and minor
coins during the year amounted to
SIo,ss6, 1902.
The fluctuations in the price of silver
in the London market during the IL
months ended June 30, 1900, were not of
wide range, the lowest price being
e6ssd and the highest price 2s 9-16d.
For the first nine months of the fiscal
year the market was sustained mainly
by purchases for India and the Straits
settlements, with small demands on
continental account and also for the
domestic coinage OF England and her
colonies. Early in April, 1900, a de-
mand for silver came from China,
which continued for the remainder of
the year, and this, with the demand
by the italian government, caused. the
price TO advance by the end OfJune to
IS 9-l6d, the highest price of the year.
The average price of silver for the
year, based upon daily London quota
tio1s, was 27.375Od, equivalent at par
Of exchange TO $O.6OO17 per ounce, fine,
in United States money. At the high
est market price Of silver during the
year the commercial ratio of silver to
gold was as l TO 1901; at the lowest
price to 35.41; at the average price
