INDIAN TRADING.
Tho Way to Beat the Red Man Down
In His Prices.

Tho Way to Beat the Red Man Down
In His Prices.
"Few white men know low to trade
with an Indian" remarked n Denver
man who has made n study Of Indians
for ten years past. II once met an In
dian with q magnificent mountain lion
skin. He was willing to part with the
ornament, but his price was too high.
fofrered him $3.50, but he Indignantly
refused. Later, on the same day, after
I had learned to trade with an Indian,
I bought the skin for S1.5O.
'The secret Of trading with the In
dian is to appear Indifferent. The most
successful trader is the one who goes
with supply of the same article he is
most des' Gus Of buying. The Indian
sees that the stranger has had export
ence, and negotiations are carried on
upon strictly business basis. An In
dian refused $40 for n bow and arrow.
1t was bought for 81 by a man who
carried several bows and arrows in his
hand. This willy Individual leased the
supply from q store in order to i'm
press his copper colored friends, and
he succeededs
"The INDIAN" said the speaker, tell
ing of traits Of character he has OBJ
served in his red friends, "is one Of the
most faithful followers in the world
If he has confidence in you. If he takes
liking to you, there is nothing you
can ask he will not do. II he dislikes
YOU, the less you have to do with that
Indian the better" - Rocky Mountain

SIN CRAVEN UPON MARBLE.

CoLLlNs son rHE MAN

The court sitting al Georgetown yes
terday released ON bail Elmer Col
Inns. held for the murder Of his Wife.
The amount OF the bond Is $500, a
mere nominal sum. This virtually
says that the murderer has not been
found. and that the detectives must
look elsewhere. IL appears that there
was nothing TO connect Collins with
tale crime. and probably the only rea-
son he was suspected was the inabil-
ity TO find a clue that threw suspicion
on anyone else IL seems that the
friends OF the accused stood by him
Loyalty. refusing to entertain a suspi-
cion Of his guilt His whole life and
all his habits were against the theory,
which shows that a man never knows
when previous good character may
prove a valuable asset
Therefore, since Collins has been re
leased on bail OF the trlfling sum, we
may conclude that there is practically
no evidence or his guilt and the detec-
tives must seek elsewhere for the
criminal. No stone should be left un-
turned till justice is satisfied. Again
and again the most revolving crimes
have been committed In the two lower
counties. and frequently the guilty
parties have either never been appre-
hended. or have escaped the moose. Ap-
parently there should have been little
difficulty in clearing up this mystery.
and The detectives may be working
upon clues not generally known, but
We think they have an opportunity in
this case to demonstrate their effi-
cheney.

GRAY was found an 1896 in the camp

In one paragraph OF this remarkable
document, which must have been pre-
pared by a man with an axe to grind,
Judge Gray is called "a political nom
entity" That would be a huge joke
we're Il not for the fact that it reveals
what pitiable fools some men may
make of themselves. lie is then call
ed upon TO atone for his misdeeds" by
making a public renunciation of his
supposed senatorial ambition. Here is
another Dogberry who needs no one
TO write him down an ass. Judge Gray
has been a participant in the great
events of his period. He has made an
honored place for himself in our his
tory. and we should honor him for It.
There have always been grounds for
with many Of his theories and
policies. but there has never been oc-
caslon for questioning his integrity
and his great ability, and we shall be
petty, indeed, II we allow small poll
tics to interfere with our recognition

Advocates Consolidation

To the Editor Of the Evening Journal.
Sir: I have read with a great deal
Of pleasure. as one who is interested
in the welfare of the Ninth ward, as
we'll as the city at large, that at the
meeting of City Council on Thursday
night, the members adopted a reso-
luton recommending Twenty-fifth and
Market streets as being the proper To-
cation for a fire engine house in the
Ninth ward. The Council HAS shown
its competence and good judgment in
the selection of this site, it being the
most central location of the ward.
A copy of this resolution, the writer
understands. is to be sent to the two
other companies of the ward, wishing
them to consolidate with the Brandy
wine Fire Company. We are assured
that the members of the Brandywine
Company have no objections to any
decent. respectable citizen becoming a
member. And in this and to this
qualification, they must adhere, as
some of the citizens who signed the
petition for the Brandywine Company,
exacted a promise of sobriety, honesty
and integrity. Among the signers is
the Rev. Aergman, of one of the
churches in the vicinity.
The members of said company must
be faithful to its promise as far as
possible We trust, Mr. Editor, that
the City Council viii recognize the
company located at Twenty-flfth and
Market streets. and for once and for
all. end this sparring and bad feeling
caused by these delays, as we are sure
when one is recognized the members
Of the different companies would draw
closer together and end this bitter
feeling. caused by the previous split.

1t is said that in one period in English

There is such a thing as jumping at
conclusions, even in so-called educa-
tion, but progress rarely moves by
leaps and bounds.
In the last few years the press has
had some amusement over the marvel
GUS bits OF information which have
come from the class rooms OF Western
professors, and percolated through de-
vious channels TO the pepole. We
have been told that man who parts
his hair in the middle is degenerate.
that the dress coat is the relic of an
age when hunters looped up the tails
of their only coat to keep them cut OF
the way in the chase, and that wedding
rings are the badge of servitude
These are only a few examples, but
they show the general trend Of thought.
From the first. one might deduce
that the hair should never be parted,
or that a division just above the ear
is a sign OF eruditiOn. But if we are
to discard a garment because il is a
reminder of a period when men were
benighted, we shall be reduced to the
abandonment Of all exterior adorn-
ment, and go still further back to a
period when men We're too Independent
to wear clothes. AS for the wedding
ring. all the professors in the universe
could not secure its abolition, so long
as there are blushing damsels who ad-
mire it.
Love laughs at locksmiths, and
primal passions scorn erudite theories.
Woman will adorn her person because
it is as much her nature to strive after
the beautiful as it is for the flowers to
blush from the meadows. When we
attempt to touch everything with the
cold finger of science. our interest
withers and we have left only dead
bones and ashes.
There are many things too sacred
for profane touch. We cannot an
alyze mother love, which ex-
tends throughout the animal world.
We cannot fathom the mystery
of life, and until we can it will
be impossible to check our longing for
Immortality. 1t is impossible to re-
duce love to a formula. or by all our
psychological knowledge to fathom the
motives of the human heart.

Sir: Please allow me space in your
paper to ask why City Council makes
rules requiring fire companies to have
their whole apparatus respond to all
alarms in the respective districts? Why
does not the Fire Committee of Coun-
ell enforce this rule and not show so
much partiality to the Liberty Com
pany? 1t has had its engine out OF
service for two months. OF course the
Liberty has the chief and the council
man from that ward In its favor. 1
think that it is time for the Fire Com
mittee to take the matter up. All COM
panies should be treated alike. It has
been but a short time since one of the
anti-combine companies did not take
its engine out in response TO an alarm.

rimanded at once by Chief Engineer
