The Philippine Commission has de-
Clded in favor of Spanish as the Of
1cial court language for the next five
years, and the decision has given
much offense to the American lawyers
who have settled in Manila. In giving
his opinion, Judge Taft made use Of
the following language: ''To make
English the official language of the
courts would drive out of the practice
Of their profession the Filipino law
yers. We ought not to ALLEVIATE a class
Of men who do so much to initiate and
formulate such public opinion as ex-
lists in these islands"

the depredations Of the wild dogs
which infested San Nicolas she mad
laid up stores of bones and other re-
fuse in anticipation Of some future
starvation time.V These she insisted
should be carried with her. Once on
board and the frebrand she had
brought burned to ashes she ciung
closely to the stove, showing that she
often suffered from cold, as well rs
hunger.
Captain Nidever conveyed the In
dian woman to his home in Santa
Barbara, where she lived in his family
until her death. She was supposed
to be about fifty years Of age when
rescued.
She had q docile, loving nature and
was of peculiarly happy disposition.
How she had retained these qualities
in her years Of lonely life is a mys-
terry. She became much attached to
her new friends, and they in turn gave
her n most cordial affection. She was
naturally intelligent and full OF re-
sources, and soon learned to commune
cate with those about her. She told OF
her sorrow at the death Of her Oldest
child, who was devoured by wild dogs
ON the day her people were taken
from the island by Captain Hubbard.
The young babe met a similar fate
later when the mother, driven by hun
ger, was forced to leave is unprotected
and go forth in search Of food
Strange to say, this woman had for
mulated an apparently fluent language
Of her own, which no one was able to
understand. Three Of the mission
fathers, versed in every Indian dialect
on the California coast, were quite un-
able to make themselves understood.
Some Of the former inhabitants OF San
Nicolas were brought from San Cab
rlel and Los Angeles, but they were
also unable to converse with her or
interpret her language. But few OF
her words have been remembered.
Man she called "noche," the sky, "toyg-
wah," hide, "tocah"
Possibly the Alaskan Indians, who
overran San Nicolas in the early part
of the last century, left upon her mem.
ory an indelible impression Of their
nomenclature, which superseded her
native tongue in the years when hui
man association was denied. This is
question that might be settled from
the meagre vocabulary she has left by
some enthusiastic, painstaking student
Of philology.
Travellers abroad who visit the Yati-
can in Rome, and are permitted to
view the priceless relics from many
Of the lands that have been gathered
there, will find among the collection a
basket woven Of island grasses, and
within it a wonderful feather robe
made OF soft breasts Of the cormor-
ant. This garment was fashioned by
the deft fingers Of Morenita, the In
dian woman, when she dwelt alone
upon the island Of San Nicolas,-Los
Angeles Times.

1t is one Of the saddest commen-
taries on our civilization that wher-
ever it is carried among aboriginal
and primitive peoples it is demoraliz-
ing and deadly. 1t is now reported
that the Indian tribes Of the Yukon
Valley are being swept away by dis.
eases which are the direct result of
contact with the gold hunting pioneers
who have overrun their country. The
natives cannot withstand the impact
Of our vices. Half fed, unclean Of
habit and ignorant of any means Of
Gelf-help or cure, they perish by thou
sands. 1t would seem to be the des-
tiny Of these simple races that, left
10 themselves, have been enabled to
Withstand the rigors of high northern
htitudes to perish utterly from the
face of the earth, exclaims the Phlla.

The "jack Of all trades" may be a
master Of none; usually he ls. But
the farmer who would succeed must
be a Jack Of all trades and a master
Of all, observes the New York Inde-
pendent, His business, If the Oldest
Of human callings, is also far and
away the most difficult; and that is
precisely why comparatively few
farmers are really successful. The
farmer who succeeds In any such de-
gree as the business or the profession
al man may succeed combines with
the "horse sense" that he claims for
himself a great deal of scientific
knowledge and business genius. He
understands soils and sunsets; roots
and animals; machinery and kdman
nature, and, above all, the market,
the town meeting, and the Board Of
Assessors. He is, in short, the braini-
est kind Of an all-around man. ane
there are not great many Of him.

An amusing illustration of the at.
tention paid to petty details and red.
tapism by the German Government is
being told by the continental papers.
At Thorn, In West Prussia, recently a
huge placard, embellished with many
seals and government stamps, was
pasted on the wall Of the railway sta
tion. 1t looked formidable-more so
than 1t really was-for It announced
the sale by public auction of three
lemons. The porters on the line had
found three lemons at liberty in a
freight car, and, with an honesty more
than admirable, they turned them over
to the authorities. The stray lemons
were duly advertised for the time re.
quired by law, and, as no owner ap.
peared to claim them, they were sold
at auction. The price brought was
fifteen pfennigs, or about four cents,
q trihe under the market figure.

Siberia is developing into a first
class butter country. In the vicinity
Of Banaol, in 1896, there were only
two creameries. Now there are over
300. Great difficulty is experienced in
securing milk vessels, but a factory
has been established at Kurgan for
the manufacture of these utensils, and
Il will not be long until the demand
viii be supplied. In the meantime
Moscow is drawn upon for a supply.

The President of the Board Of Con-

declares that the parole system in
that State has been satisfactory in
ninety-three cases out Of 100. In other
States in which the system has been

equally gratifying.

10 make money? Certainly in all
honorable ways, but while making
money, and afterward, the question
is how to make the world more beau

pier, and the men and women in it
wiser and better without end, reflects
the Christian Register.

Since the late war THE Man Behind

recent hero of battle.
But report being correct, and | have

The place and hour and Mr.. Burton
Converged according to schedule but
Mr.. Shaw was several minutes late.
The latter, still intent on game, y
sought an opportunity every step of the
way to bring down a trophy of his

Mr.. Burton, but, instead. discovered be-

and it was undoubtedly a streak of luck
that placed him i'll better position to

Tuesday at the Driving Park between
Carlos and Midlothian for purse of

it was well attended, the rooters from
both towns turning out in force.
Each club was backed pretty freely with
the "long green" and the many petty girls
present never let an opportunity go by to
.'whoop it up for the club of their in
fatnaton.
The game was a disappointment, as the
Midlothian team took such a lead in the
first three innings that the Carlos club at no
time had even a look in" as winners.

for the Carlos team in the two previous
games, was out of form and was knocked off

Autumn Opening.

On short notice of coming event.
the stores of D. f. McMullen & Co.
were jammed for several hours Tues
day evening by lady and gentlemen
witnesses of the formality of IAN autumn
opening"
1t is almost Superfluous to add that
all were well repaid for the walk to and
from and the squeeze while in the
building.
There was lavish display of all de
scriptions of dry goods, here and there
set off to advantage by tasteful combi-
nations of potted plants and flowers.
There We're dress fabrics made and I'M
made; embroideries, trimmings, silks
and silkalines, ribbons, laces, towels,
napkins, crocheted shoulder wear,
scarfs, capes, coats, furs, rugs, carpets,
blankets, curtainings, ETC., all displayed
at a cost of considerable study, time and
labor.
Overhead on one side white hanger,
bearing the word, Autumn, furnished
a counterpart for one on the other, i'll
scribed "l9O1," both letters and figures
being in lavender.
Another feature on the east side con-
sisted of range of crossed swords and
knives, memorials of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, but used here as symbols of
price-cutters.
Under ample electric and gas illumi-
nation, lavender trimmings and strains
of choice music by the German Arion
Band. the Iron Front never presented
Il spectacle so splendid, and a great
crowd never enjoyed closer oppor-
tunity to Tell it to The Neighbors."
The chief of the establishment D. F.
McMullen, takes but little credit to him
self, allowing quite all to his corps of
pretty salesladies and handsome sales
men Misses Mary and Regina Field
man, Ella Yungerman, Diana Brode and
Anna Carson, and Messrs. James p.

Spitznas, Elmer Thomas and James
Barrett, ST., the last named book keeper
and cashier.

o. Gertrude Johnson and Mary Barrett,
and Messrs. james Brown and James
The autumn opening is over and
the Iron Front has quieted down to

goods over the counter and the cores
