a boisterous, reyel, in which every stranger was
pelted with flowers from carriages and foot
paths The fun went hour after Iour and
these rollicking manners confined to
the park, for pranks were played in the thor

leTs.

Dutch maidens, and the boys less ingenious in
playing tricks than the youngsters of Amster-
dam but there is the same undercurrent of
high spirits and JOY in life /. n. f.

NAVAJO MISSIONS
4 Philadelphia Woman VIII Spend One
 Hundred Thousand Dollars on New School Bulidln1s for indians.

A dispatch from New York by the Associated Press says:
 Mother Mary Kathrine, as she is now called, who was Miss Katherine Drexel, daughter of the famous Phila- delphia millionaire, has another phil anthropic idea in mind, it is said, she will carry out within few months.
 For years, in fact ever since Mother Mary Katherine forsook society to be- come black-robed sister, and then founded the order of the Blessed Sac rament, she has interested herself in the education, both religious and other wise, of the Indians. Her last project is to establish school mission for the members of the Navajo tribe in Ari- zona. Already she has made her plans and more than $lOO,OOO will be spent upon the main buildings of the insti- tuition alone.
 What to the social world undoubt- edly will make the announcement of Mother Katherine's project doubly i'm teresting, is the report that she is be- ing aided in every possible way by her niece, Miss Josephine Drexel, who is most prominent socially, both in New York and Philadelphia. This fact has caused renewal of the reports that Miss Josephine is to emulate the ex- ample of her aunt and herself enter a religious institution.

Commits Suicide.

A press report from Phoenix says: Egbert T. Clarke, aged 2, only son of General Traffic Manager Francis B. Clarke of the Great Northern Railway company, took his life this morning by shooting himself through the heart. The deed was done in tent at Stones Sanatorium, few miles north of this city, where he had just become a patient.
 Clarke was seriously i'll with con- sumption, and his melancholia had been intensified by letter received recently from his father at St. Paul, commanding him to leave his young wife and go to the sanatorium, under threat of stOppage of maintenance. Last summer young Clarke was mar ried in Los Angeles to Miss Ruth Bar ger of Chicago, whom he had met in Phoenix the previous winter.
 The Coroner's jury decided that the action was due to despondency caused by ill health. The body will be sent to St. Paul for interment. The mother is in Paris with several daughters.
