8 The Methodist preachers of Chicago, at their Monday meeting, adopted reso- lutions declaring their unshaken belief that the miracles described in the Bible actually occurred. Rev. Dr. E. D. Hull took part in the preliminary talk. We ought to go on record he said, "to show to the world that we are un- alterably opposed to heresy, Many a one is employed as instructor in Meth odist institution whose views are un- orthodox.

The Vossische Zeitung is responsible for the story that a curious find has just been made at Samrishamn in Sweden. At low water sailor discov- cred among the stones on the beach of Massakasbay there, teaspoon of brass. After cleaning it he found en- gfaved on the inside the picture of a man -of-war with the words "Maine' and '6,600" tons. The spoon would, therefore, appear to have belonged to the ill-fated Maine, sunk in Havana harbor in the spring of 1898, and it needed four years for the ocean cur rents to wash this tiny object ashore on the coast of southern Sweden.

Mr. Bryan Donkin lately read to the British Institution of Civil Engineers a paper on the utilization of the gases from high furnaces to drive motors. For years the gases went to waste, When we consider that more than 40,- 900, 900 tons of metal are produced in such furnaces it is clear that the waste was enormous. About fifty years ago the subject began to be considered and the gases were utilized to drive blow CTS or to heat the air blown into the furnaces themselves. But it was not until they were employed to drive motors directly that the utilization ap- preached completeness Motors of L. 00O or 1,500 horse power. driven in this way, are not uncommon in Germany and Belgium.

Yesterday an aggregation of base
ball players and several 'rooters'
came over from the dark hills OF
Monroe county, from the interior
of a village known on the map as
the county seat of Monroe county,

tomobile came over Sunday eve

our home team defeated and TO tcot

and no more. The Woods6eld club
Is composed of very kind hearted
boys. They told our people In
great confidence that they had their
team padded" with the finest base
ball players In thirty nine States,
and our people would be wise not
to bet against Woodsfeld winning.
Of course this was very kind and
at the same time the Woods6eld
boys went out on the diamond to
practice and 1t was Noticed at once
that one or two of the players
wore beautiful elderberry colored
dresses, made for the darling babe
boys by their mammas. All OF
these things had depressing et-
feet. Then some beautiful ladies
came over to root" for Woods6eld
and our home team being composed
of gallant young men, they did
hate 10 slaughter the Woods6eld
team and cause the fair ladies to
feel lonesome, but they could not
help it.
The Woodsfeld team for nine
consecutive innings tailed to get to
the home plate. They growled and
roared, rooted and footed, told us

NAVAJO INDIANS
 NOT STARVING
HE REPORT THAT THE NAVAJO INDIANS ARE STARVING HAS
 NO FOUNDATION
The Indian Agent Gives Out an Inter view at Albuquerque that Contra diets Exaggerated Reports

me ihoian Agent Gives Out an Inter.
 view at Albuquerque that Contra
 diets Exaggerated Reports
 The press reports of the past week contain pathetic stories of the starv- ing condition of the Navajo Indians. 50 lar as can be learned from parties who live near the west end of the reservation and who have means of knowing, say that if the drought had continued the Indians might have suf- tered, but there is no famine condition among the Navajoes and the tribe is as well off as ever.
 U. ". HayZlett. the Navajo Indian agent, was in Albuquerque this week and gave to the Journal-Democrat the following statement:
 There is absolutely no foundation Tor he wild reports of starvation and want among the Navajos on the res eIvation," said MT. Hayzett. T have been looking after the Navajos for ,ong time and I never knew of but one case of starvation. There has been drouth on certain sections of reservation. It has been in some cases severe and stock has suffered for want of food. But as to starva- tion among the Indians or their live stock, or any severe suffering from want of food, there is nothing in it.
 Before leaving the reservation had reports from two of my field agents in the region along the San Juan, and they say that the crops this year are as good and in some in stances better than for years. They are contented and happy.
 T had been very busy for a week before leaving the reservation and was astonished when I picked up a newspaper yesterday to learn that there were 3O.000 Navajos in Utah Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico In he first place, there are not more than 10000 Navajos in existence. The census of 1900, on which ten men worked. showed only 12,0OO, but we place it 10000 as a fair estimate | Again. there is not a Navajo in ] the state of Utah. A corner of the reservation lies in that state, but I think I am safe in saying there is not an Indian on it. There are no Maya ] jos in Colorado, with the exception of one family. The Utes complained some time ago and the Navajos were all brought into New Mexico and Ari- Zona.
 "At Gallup I received a telegram from the commissioner of Indian af fairs aking if the reports of the Utah officers and others as to starvation among the Navajos were true. I re piled at once that the reports were all without foundation. There is a pretty general impression that the re ports are put in circulation by agents of trading companies who desire to see some ready money put in circula tion But as to any actual suffering among the Indians, there is nothing in it."

ROBBED ON
 STREET CAR
MRS. JOHN SLAUGHTER HAS FIX.
 CITING EXPERIENCE
She Turns Detective and With the As sistance of a Policeman Recovers the Stolen Pocketbook

Mrs. John Slaughter and daughter, Miss Addie. returned last week from Los Angeles and other points of in terest in Southern California, where they have been for a few weeks.
 While in Los Angeles they had quite an experience and but for a bright piece of detective work would have lost a snug sum of money and a ticket from Los Angeles to Ben son
 While taking a street car ride to points of interest they happened to be on car that was crowded and Miss Slaughter had her pocket book at tached by chain to her belt. As they arose to leave the car some one gave them a violent shove and upon alight- ing they found that the pocket book was gone
 The ladies found themselves in a sorry plight at once and had to think quick. Miss Slaughter said that she believed that an old Mexican woman had taken the purse as she was set ting next to her in the car and re- called being suddenly showed by her.
 'I will take he next car and follow her" said Mrs. Slaughter, and you stay here and await my return. Mrs. Slaughter got on the car and after riding a few blocks the Mexican wo- man got on the same car and as soon as she discovered Mrs. Slaughter she became nervous and got off after rid ing a short distance. Mrs. Slaughter followed at once and was directed to a policeman by the street car con- ductor.
 The policeman, who lived few steps from the car line, was seen but did not give much credence to the lady's statement of affairs but went with her Two blocks from the street they found the woman in an al lev. The policeman asked her if she had a pocket book that did not belong to her. She said that she did ana produced an old worn one that was no' the one Mrs. Slaughter was interest ed in. The officer then told her tna she had another one and that if snt did not produce it at once he wonl' arrest her. Then she took from un der her shawl the pocket book Mrs Slaughter recognized at once as tn' one she had just lost. She was satls fled to let the old woman go wnei she got back her railroad ticket ant the fifty-seven dollars in money.
