INDIAN MISSIONARIES STORY.
Years of Toilsome Ministry Among the
Choctaws.

Years or Toisome ministry among the
Choctaws.
Little York, Ind, April 1.-(SpeciaD.
twenty-five years ago the Rev. c.
H. Thompson left Indiana. For a
time he preached in Arkansas. after
wards entering on the regular mission
airy work among the Choctaw Indians.
For five years he lived and labored
among the full bloods of the western
prairies, until on April 9Th, 1885, hav-
ing lost his wife, he left the circuit
on which he had preached SO long, and
commenced travelling missionary
work among the Indians Of the various
tribes scattered in the west.
This irregular work involved great
deal Of travel over the prairies. The
drinking Of so much alkali water
brought on kidney troubles which
terminated in Diabetes.
Finally, while laboring among the
Creek Indians at Wagner, Indian
Territory, this noble man was strick-
en- down completely. A Chicago spe-
cialist was summoned, and after a
careful examination declared that there
was not the slightest chance of his re-
covery Besides the prescriptions Of
the doctors he tried many other medi-
cines, but all to no avail. He says:
Il had concluded that my days were

NO RIGHT TO LIBERTY.

We are getting used to 1t now, 50
that while in the fall of 1897 the MUIR
der of miners peaceably marching on
the highway near Hazleton, Pa, excit-
ed general Indignation all over the
country, the similar murder of two out
of $50 miners on the highway near
Boxton, KY, is not deemed OF
sufficient Importance for even ten
line telegram, being evidently regarded
by news transmitters as a matter Of
course and no news" at all. These
40 men were on their way to the Car
bondale mines to induce non-union
men at work there to quit, when halt
ed by a sheriff's posse. One of the
miners objected, upon which the posse
instantly sent fusilade into the
crowd. The sheriff had no legal right
to stop them, and by endeavoring to
do so made it justifiable on the part OF
the miners to assert their right to the
highway. Forbearance on the part OF
strikers is evidently not appreciated
by their enemies.

The fate which seems to come to all

The fate which seems to come to all
communistic colonies has overtaken
the Altruistic association formed about
a year ago near Burlington, N. j. The
plan of the promoters was to form a
settlement where there should be no
police or magisterial system and no
laws or rules save those of courtesy.
The novelty of farm life soon wore off,
and many of the colonists returned to
the busy world, where pay was better
and life more exciting.

severely shocking his wife's nervous

It has long been a disputed question
whether America was peopled from
Asia. The chief argument against the
theory that man made his approach
to this continent across Boring strait
has been the lack of resemblance in
culture between the aborigines of this
country and the known races of Asia.
This may be accounted for Washing
ton scientist maintains, by the fact
that all the Asiatic arts and customs
would in the course of generations
have been frozen out of any migratory
peoples in their getting around Boring
strait. AS the tribes moved northward
they would lose the characteristics of
their life, one after another, notably
agriculture and domestic animals, until
finally, pressing near the polar circle
their whole energies would be absorbed
in finding food and keeping warm.
With his culture thus frozen out, &C
cording to this theory, early man
crossed Bering strait, and as he moved
southwark on this continent developed
improved ways of living, but after such
a long interval Of time that the new
customs were entirely distinct from
those of Asia.

came into force on Jan. 1. All shors
and similar places where goods are Of
fered for sale by a female staff must
be provided in each room with num-
Der of seats equal to that of the We
men there employed. This law differs
from that which will come into force
in Germany on April 1. The latter pro-
yides only for "a sufficient number" OF

vides one seat for each three women
employed, the supposition being that
all are not idle at the same time.

This remains true to-day of most pro-

Reouest of Henry CLAY,

There are some disadvantages which
attach themselves to persons who have
become famous. These. however, often
have their iudicrous side. 1t is said
that at one time Henry Clay, the Amer
lean statesman, was travelling in the
West, and stopped over night in little
log cabin inhabited by an old man and
his wife. After breakfast the next
morning his old host. who had been
in n flutter OF excitement ever since he
learned who his distinguished guest
was. said he would like to make a
slight request before the visitor de
parted.
Couldn't ye." he said. with evident
anxiety, couldn't We jest make my

sheridan Defended Soldier.

\ few Illinois veterans were together
one day telling war stories and reviy-
ing memories of particularly striking
episodes of the great strife between
North and South. One of the veterans.
who had been through the whole war
and was well acquainted with many
prominent leaders on the Union side,
among other stories told the following
characteristic one about one of the
greatest generals of the North:
1T was toward the close of the war.
The Union troops had already taken
possession of considerable territory.
and the railroad lines leading east from
Chattanooga were in their hands and
under control of the military authori-
ties. My regiment had gone east while

was acting under orders of the mill

fares or take up tickets. had an or
der from Chattanooga headquarters
which was duly recognized by the con-
ductor. When he came to the next
passenger, a soldier, occupying a seat
that he had been wounded and taken
TO the hospital, and that, having been
released. he wanted to join his regi-
ment, which had been ordered east.
The conductor asked him whether he
had an order from headquarters. The
man said he had not, and added that
neither had he any money TO pay for
his transportation. The conductor
shook his head and told the man that
he would have to act according 10 his
orders and put him off unless he could
find some one to pay his fare.
II was very much interested in the
matter and wondered what would hap
pen. The conductor did not stop the
train right away, but continued his
work of taking up orders and tickets in
the other cars. After Il while he came
