{ superintendent has always employed a

 He has paid as high as fifteen dollars a | month for such service, and boarded the girl besides, although he could with perfect propriety have sent the girl to

 bank book is kept exactly like similar
 books of any other person. A child Is compelled to save at least one-half of his earnings. When his savings have amounted to five dollars, interest is paid at the rate of per cent. When child takes final leave of the school his money is paid in full.

 Some of your children are white? Are you allowed to take white children into Indian schools?"
 The government OOeS Hot AutnoilDo the admission of white children into h. dian schools, except the children of school employees. Every Indian school, however, has enrolled some children as fair as any child born of white parents. These are the children of mixed blood. | Children possessing one-thirty-second | part Indian blood are entitled to school | privileges Until recently, since the de- velopment of the school into an insti- tuition of the first rank, there were few light colored Indians in the Phoenix school; now, however, there are about one hundred of the seven hundred who are of mixed blood. Nearly every child of mixed blood now attending the Phoe- nix school has been transferred hither from Indian schools in other states and erritories-Arizona Republican.

 INDIAN CHILDREN'S WAGES.

How They Learn Industry at the Gov ernment Schools.
 'How are the Indian pupils hired out, and what is done with their wages?"
 The Indian pupils are sent out from the government school at Phoenix to work in good families as helpers. The girls and some of the boys are employed as house servants. The large boys are employed in various capacities on farms. The girls are employed through the chief matron, the boys through the disciplinarian-all under rules issued by the uperintendent. There are con- stantly from one hundred to two hun dred girls enjoying outing benefits The demand for boys is not so great The wages the pupils receive vary from five dollars per month for small boys or girls to twenty-five dollars per month for the large and more capable. The ''outing" system is controlled abso- lutely by the superintendent, who can call every pupil in at any time desired. What howl would go up from the res idents of this valley if the supernten- dent should exercise this authority!
 The highest wages ever paid to any Indian pupils are paid by the superin- tendent. He now has two boys work ing for him at thirty dollars a month Besides this thirty dollars in cash a month, he pays for their board and lodging. He has at various times em- ployed boys at from fifty cents a day up to twenty-five dollars a month. He pays his laborers always according to their worth, and if boy is employed at fifty cents day and earns one dollar a day he is paid one dollar a day. The

4 PLAIN C4Sys,

For once, at least, New Haven is wide-awake, enthusiastic and unani-
 nous. The meeting at Republican Hall
 last evening was shining success, and itself as regardful of the interests of New Haven as the meeting did. The legislature will have no difficulty in un- derstanding what the people of this re- zion want in the Derby trolley matter, and 1t is impossible to see how it can justly decline to let them have what they want. Their request is entirely reasonable. Similar, though much less general requests for trolley lines in all parts of the State have been granted, and why should there be discrimination against this region now? The only real reason that has been urged for such discrimination is that the steam road doesn't want the proposed trolley line. There is no disposition that we know of to treat the steam road unfairly but the people want the trolley, and their interests are superior to other interests. Besides, 1t doesn't appear that the troll ley will be seriously injurious to the steam road. The argument that 1t wont be is at least as reasonable and impress sive as the argument that 1t will be.
 Has the legislature been wrong In al- lowing travel between Branford, Will anybody say it has? If it hasn't will it be right in refusing to allow such

Aguinaldo Is like the little girl who when bad was horrid. and when good was very, very good. This is the little brown mans good time, and he is just about as good as he can be. He is sur prised at what the United States has accomplished, and he is going to do all he can to help it accomplish more. He is inclined to believe that United States sovereignty Is preferable to in dependence and he Is now urging, 'in the strongest possible manner" that all the insurgents surrender and be as good as he is He is grateful for his treatment, is willing to do whatever the United States wants to have him and hopes that the Americans will be- lieve him sincere.
 Wise little brown man. No martyr dom or anything of that kind for him. He knows a good thing when he sees it, and he knows that United States sovereignty is better for him than Fili- pino independence. It is. He ought to have an office soon.

 Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink unless 1t is boiled, and even then some wont drink water. These are damp times, except in the stock market, where everything is high and apparently dry, but they do say that by and by it will be seen that there is a lot of water there, and that some who thirst for riches will find that water wont assuage their thirst.
 Let us persevere. We who live on the coast are lucky in the fact that the water which falls on the coast can flow into the sea, except that part of it which backs up and flows into the cellars and other low-lying places. We shall not be drowned. If worst comes to worst we can take the awful risk which those take who go up on East Rock when there isn't money enough appropriated to please the Park commissioners. On that lofty elevation we can perch and while waiting for the water to subside we can mediate on the sagacity of MT. Stewart, who built an ark up there in dry time.

A LITTLE .BILL.

| "All that man hath will he give for
 his life" Satan said this, but it ap-
 pears that Satan can occasionally tell
 the truth. Doubtless the late Chris"
 l.. Magee of Pittsburg would have given all he had if he could have been sas-
 sured of life For this and other
 reasons Dr. Walter c. Browning has felt justified in sending to the estate little bill of S19O,OO0. This bill if paid
 wouldn't eat up the entire estate and
 may therefore be considered moderate
 by the doctor. The time covered by
 this bill is twenty-one months previous
 to the death of MT. Magee, and during
 that period Dr. Browning gave MT. Magee much Of his time. He accom- panied him to several places. One charge is $170O0 for last summers treatment ct Atlantic City, and another $12,00O for accompanying MT. Magee to Hot Springs, Virginia.
 Dr. Browning explains that MT. Ma gee wanted him to have $50 an hour, and he feels sure that MT. Magee would approve the bill. What cold blooded executors or administrators will do he doesn't know but he is going to find out. The result of his effort will be in- teresting to distinguished doctors and patients The bill will seem just little steep to those who | are getting four dollars week, but of course such persons are no judges of It's i, justice. There is talk that court will I be called on to consider it's justice Tn | favor of the bill it. can be urged that | this Is a high-priced time, and that J. Morgan and other great finan- cial doctors wouldn't call $19O,00O much for twenty-one months work

Preliminary to expected important legislation by the next congress affect ing Indian education, Commissioner Jones of the Indian bureau will try to ascertain just what measure of success has attended the instruction of Indian pupils. Questions addressed to Indian agents and superintendents are design cd to show the relative merits of the different systems of educating Indians, and the after-effects upon the life of Indian pupils, who have attended schools upon the reservation or the gen. eral educational institutions located elsewhere To what use the Indian pu- pills have put their education is asked, and also whether their course in life after returning to the reservation indi- cates that their career will be that of the average white person. Commis- sioner Jones is seeking to make the in- Quiries of practical value, and he asks for relative statements by those in in- mediate charge of the Indians as to tho status of those Indian pupils who have attended and are now attending Indian schools.

At its recent annual meeting in Lon don the Institution of Naval Archi- tects discussed the vibration of steam CTS when in rapid motiSn. A paper read by a German expert stated that the source of this trouble, so wearing on the nerves of passengers and not It, tie injurious to the vessel itself, the dur ability of which it tended to decrease, lay, not as was generally supposed, in the engines, but in the propeller. As now constructed, one blade of every propeller encounters, in turning through the water, more resistance than the others, and though the difference may < be minute, 1t is enough to shake the ship from stem to stern. The least de- viation in pitch among the blades, even If 1t cannot be demonstrated by ordi- nary instruments and tests, is sufficient to cause perceptible vertical vibrations, and it was advised, therefore, that the greatest care be taken in the construc- tion of propellers, not only for the sake of preventing vibration. but also to save power and to prevent the blades from breaking.

a week ago.
It is believed that the committee will
decline to accept the resignation, un-
less it can be shown that Mr.. Cunning
ham positively insists upon being re-
lieved of further duty as its official
head. 1t is recognized by every mem
Der that his place could not be filled

Charlestonians Like His Talk About
o.s.-as Their show.

% ss.~. Their Show.
Mr.. Joseph S. Lovenstein, who Wis
tied Charleston a few days ago, is
highly commended in an editorial in
Wednesdays News and Courier for the
liberal stand he took while there in
regard to the Exposition. The fact that
Mr.. Lovenstein is a Savannah man,
and for number of years was at the
head Of the Travellers Protective AS
ISOLATION here, made his favorable ex-
pressions for the Exposition the more
appreciated at Charleston.
1t seems that some of Charleston's
travelling men have been talking in
differently about the Exposition, ac-
cording to the News and Courier The
Savannah man called on the director
of the coming show. however, and not
only expressed his best wishes for its
success, but suggested that the Ma
tional Association of the T. P. AS
be asked to celebrate day at the
Fair. Sugges tons as to the best way
to go about this We're also made to
the director by Mr.. Lovenstein, who
knows a great deal about association
affairs. 1t seems that the Exposition
will be ready Ito open on Dec. l, ac-
cording to the programme. he says,
and that it will be a success. Neigh
boring cities will derive a benefit be-
cause Charleston's visitors are pretty
sure to visit elsewhere.
Mr.. Lovenstein talks favorably
about the proposed Jeffries- Rubin ex-
-hibition at Savannah, and thinks it the
finest conceivable drawing card for the
State Fair. He believes that hundreds
of winter tourists to the South will
make it a point to stop over here for
the big show
