Hon. Serene L. Payne, representing
the 2Sth New York Congressional dis
trict, is a native of his state, having
been born at Hamilton, N. Y, in 1913.
He was first elected to the forty eighth
Congress. and with the exception of
the fiftieth Congress. has served con-
tinuously ever since.
Mr.. Payne is the leader of his party
on the floor of the House. AS chair
man of the Committee on Ways and
Means, which is by far the most i'm
portant committee in the House, he is
overwhelmed with public business of
every conceivable character.
There is to be no tariff revision at
this session of Congress-" says Mr..
Payne, land, in fact, the concensus of
opinion amongst Republicans, so far
as | have been able to learn, Is that
we are getting along as well as posi-
BILE, and 1t certainly would not be wise
to tinker with the schedules.
Il am strongly opposed to the Bah
cock bill for the reduction of duty on
certain iron and steel products. and
on general principles would fight any
attempt at piece-meal tariff legisla-
ton"
Mr.. Payne believes that there will be
provision made for the Nicaragua
canal at this session, II the treaty is
satisfactory, and If SO he will favor
it.
Il have noticed no chance in the
sentiment of leading Republicans on
the trust question:" he says. ''The Re-
publicans passed an antitrust bill
through the house at the last session
that went as far as the Constitution
would permit
Mr.. Payne expects an extremely busy
session. and one lasting well up into
July or August.
Secretary and Mrs. Hay have an

necticut avenue DIR. Hamlin, pastor of
the church. officiating, assisted by a
of other ministers of the Pres
byterian church. Miss Hay will be CIV
en- away by her father. Secretary Hay,
and will have as bridesmaids her sis
ter, Miss Alice Hay, and the sister Of
the groom, Miss Dorothy Whitney.
The eight ushers will be selected from
the New York friends of Mr.. Whitney,
and the name of the best man is not

A STRONG PEOPLE.
Innuits of Alaska Are Chased Among
Vary RurEed PeanIe.
Ito be continued.)


Very Rugged People.
1t now seems probable that not all
the nnuits of Alaska are so SMALL as
has been supposed. Indeed, If one is
to believe the tales of travellers who
visited an island south of Bering Sea,
these Indians must be classed among
the tallest people in the world. The
travellers story is given in Popular
Science News: On Kings Island In
dians were found who by their phys
ical characteristics belong to the In
mutt or Eskimo family, having small
black eyes, high cheek-bones and full
brown boards which conceal their lips.
The majority of the men are over six
feet high and the women are usually
as tall as and often taller than the
men. These women are also wonder
fully strong. One of them carried off
in her birch bark canoe an eight-hun-
dred pound stone, for use as an an
chor to whale boat. When it reached
the deck of the vessel it required two
strong men to lift it, but the Innuit
woman had managed it alone. An
other woman carried on her head
box containing two hundred and
eighty pounds of lead. Both men and
women are also endowed with re-
markable agility. They will outrun
and outjump competitors of any other
race who may be pitted against them.
Their strength is gained from very
poor food, and they frequently travel
thirty or forty miles without eating
anything. They live on carrion fish
and sea oil. The fish. generally sal
mon, are buried when caught, to be
kept through the winter and dug up
as consumption requires. When
brought to the air they have the ap-
pearance of sound fish, but the stencil
from them is unbearable. In the mat
ter of dwellings these Eskimos are pc
culiar. Their houses are excavated
in the sides of hill, the chambers be-
ing pierced some feet into the rise,
and walled up with stones on three
sides. Across the top of the stone
walls poles of driftwood are laid and
covered with hides and grass and last
ly with layer of earth. These odd
dwellings rise one above another, the
highest overlooking perhaps forty low
er ones. Two hundred people live in
the village.

To an English lady, Miss Hobhouse,
the modification of the system under
which so many unfortunate Boer WON
en- and children persisted Is due. This
lady, who comes of a good English
family and whose interests in the Boer
reconcentrados Is merely feeling Of
pure humanity, visited South Africa
last spring and sought to ameliorate
their condition. She appealed to the
Government to act and it did. 1t ex-
PEELED her from South Africa. On her
return home Miss Hobhouse again APP
pealed to the Government to interpose
and end the system under which Boer
prisoners. or pensioners. were being ju-
dicially murdered. Nothing came OF
her appeals. She then published the
facts she had collected in South Africa
and the result has been an awakening
of the British conscience. The Govern
ment felt constrained to take notice of
the opinions and feelings created by
the publication of her pamphlet and
the order was given for a change In the
system.
