BANoUET IN NE wYoRK.
Mckinley and Capital and Labor
 tho Themes.

New York. Jan. 29.--The annual banquet of the New York Board of Trade and Waldorf Astoria Hotel. The function this year had a double object in view: First, to do honor to the memory of William Mckinley. and. secondly, to encourage the closer union of capital and labor.
 Among the guests were Charles Emory Smith, ex-Postmaster General: Senator Hanna. Colonel Myron T. Herrick and Charles A. Moore. all close personal friends of Mr Mckinley.
 Oscar S. Strauss presided. The menu card bore a figure of Commerce. with beckoning hand. and figures of the em- ployer and employe clasping hands. The souvenir consisted of a papier mache weighing scale. on one side of which was against 1t; while on the other side was a bag labelled 'N. .0O0.000''
 The first toast was "The President of the United States" drunk standing and Policies was the first toast to be re- sponded to and ex-Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith was the speaker. He was followed by Colonel Myron Her rick of Cleveland.
 The next toast was to 'The Educated American" responded to by MT. Nicholas Murray Butler. President of Columbia University.
 Samuel Gompers. President of the American Federation of Labor, followed in response to the toast. Labor is AL ways Honorable; To the Laborers Honor is Always Due"
 Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson re- spcnded to the toast ''The Navy" He strongly advised. the strengthening of 1t, not only because the trade of the coun- try was extending but also in view of a possible foreign complication. senator Hanna came next with an fn- formal speech on capital and labor and the subject of the navy and merchant marine. He said he thought that the hirers of labor had duty to perform as well as the laborers having a duty to perform to their employers and asked the business men present that if they could do something to better the condi- ticn of their fellow men. He said that the organizers of workingmen are work ing earnestly and honestly to improve labor conditions and he hoped to see great organizations of business men like the Board of Trade give the others sym pathy and active sypyort.
 Referring to Captain Hobson's speech, Senator Hanna said that while he appre- ciated the Captains argument. he wished to offer this amendment: Don't spend all your money on warships. Give us a few merchant vessels. Give us some thing to protect. We ask a fafN divide.''

Cummins Speaks on Mckinley.

Des Moines. Ia., Jan. Ex-Governor A. B. Cummins delivered an address to a joint session of the Legislature this afternoon upon William Mckinley" in honor of the anniversary of the birth of the late President. Governor Cummins said, in part: William Mckinley believed and acted upon the belief. that to be great and helpful and powerful, man must know some one thing better than any one else knows 1t; and the world was al- ways on the lookout for such a man. He chose for his especial study one of the most difficult as we'll as of the most con- troverted subjects of his time. and he mastered it absolutely, so that before many years had passed over his Congress sional career, William Mckinley knew more about the productive capacity of the United States, more about the condi- tons under which labor earned its wage and capital it's return, more about the possibilities of our magnificent future, than any other man in America"

Those acquainted with Indian GUS
toms know of the prominence that
feathers hold In the religious and So
cial ceremonies of the red men. Par
tlcularly among the Navajoes and Pu-
ebIos are these plume emb!ems be-
lievcd to have the utmost efficacy for
good or bad.
All about any Pueblo town may be
seen carefully whitfield sticks. each
with a tuft of downy feathers. gener-
ally white ones, bound at the top of 1t.
They are prayer sticks and are quite
as curious as the prayer wheels Of
Burma and the paper prayers OF the
Chinese. The feathers, stick and man
ner of tying the feathers vary accord
ing to the nature of the prayer. The
Indian who wishes t o ask a favor of
the "Trues' prepares his feather
prayer with great secrecy. Then. TAX
ing 1t to a proper spot, he prays to
those above, and. planting his stick,
leaves 1t to continue his petition.

An Inseniou. Benrtrap.

The Mexicans in California had an
Ingenious method of trapping bears
before the advent of the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re-
gion. A piece of meat was nailed to
the stout horizontal limb of an oak
tree. From a limb five or six feet above
a rope was suspended. to the end Of
which n large stone was made fast SO
that it hung about six inches alb 1--WE and
a trife nearer the trunk than the meat
on the lower limb.
When a bear smelled the meat from
afar, he would climb up the tree and
make his way to the bait. In doing
81 he would push the stone pendulum
to one side. Just as he was about TO
asten his teeth in the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head.
This would arouse the anger of the
bear, and he would give the stone n
sweep of mis- paw which would send
1t swinging farther out. The conse-
quence was a harder bang and more
anger. The more he struck the stone
the harder he would be hit In return
until from ferocious anger he would
lose bis caution and attack the pendu-
lum with all his vigor. One powerful
sweep. then bang! and bruin would be
tumbled out OF the tree to the rocks
below. where, disabled by his fall. he
would be at the mercy of those who
set the trap whenever they chose TO
take him.

There is a tree that grows in Mexico
called the ''chijol." or stone tree. II Is
of enormous proportions, both in cir
conference and height. 1t has a num-
Der of branches spreading out widely
and carrying leaves Of a yellowish
green color. The wood is extremely fine
and easily worked in a green state. 1t
is not given to either warping or split
ting. The most remarkable thing about
1t is that after being cut the wood
gets gradually harder, and in the course
Of n few years 1t is absolutely petritled
