Passing Away.

Fl IL is stated that all through the
arctic region the inhabitants are fast
disappearing. The Alaskan EsQui-
mauX have been greatly reduced in
numbers. When explorers first went
among them their number was bcicY..
eel to be from 1000 to 5000; noWafL is
thought that hardly more thaa 500
people can be counted from Point
Barrow to the Alcutian Islands5 The
lot or these unfortunate natives has
been made harder to bear by reason OF
the destruction OF sea life 10y the
whalcrs who harricd the Alaskan
coast. The determination Of the seal,
walrus and polar bear has likewise
done its share to cmbitter the cup OF
The Northern races. In Southwest
Greenland u similar condition OF
affairs exists. The 10000 natives
are barely holding their own, although
largely added by the Danes. Labra-
dof natives are likewise decreasing.
Twenty years ago they numbered 30,-
600; now they number barely $4,000
souls. Two decades ago the entire pop
ulation OF the North was estimated at
30, 900; 1t is probable today that the
number mas been almost cut In two.
Ina few moro years these people will
all have disappeared, and nothing Of
them will remain but u memory. The
governments that own tho lands in
which they live should try and find
out what is the cause Of the decay Of
these people ardif possible stop it.

The Atlantic Coast Line Company

MRS. LUCINDA POLLY DEAD.
n Was Said to BE at Least One
m Years Old.

Mrs. Lucinda Polly, said to nave been
at least 100 years old, died at her residence,
at Sheldon and Twenty-third streets, Tues
day evening, of old age. Her fathers name
was Ferguson and he came to Kentucky
with Daniel Boone. Mrs. Polly was born in
Kentucky, and was familiar with the Ohio
river before the first steamboat made its
appearance. There were but two log cabins
in Indianapolis when she and her husband
came here. They made a short stay and
then went to st. Louis, then a village.
After living there fifteen or eighteen years
they went to Chicago, which was a very
small town, and when she was past middle
age went overland to California during the
gold fever of 1S49. She was married twice.
Her second husbands name was George
Wrighthouse, but when he died she as
sumed the name of her first husband.
After he died she settled down from a
wandering existence extending from Mexico
TO Canada and from coast TO coast. She
lived in various towns of the State until
she made Indianapolis her final home. She
was unable TO read or write. but retained
her mental faculties and physique up to
within two weeks of her death. She did
her own homework, never wore glasses,
and three weeks ago went out and gath
cred a mess of green's. She attributed her
longevity 10 the use of smoking tobacco.
The first time a doctor ever waited upon
her was at her deathbed. She lived with
her youngest son, now we'll up in years, and
leaves two aged children out OF a family
of seven. She will be buried in the old
Union Chapel Cemetery to-day.

GIRL is STILL in JAIL
NO ONE APPEARS TO CIV BOND
FOR HORTENsE ABROMET.
She Yet CIings TO Her First story
of InnOcence-It VIII BE Hard to
Make n Case.

Behind the bars Of the county jail, where
she was taken yesterday. Hortense Abromet
still maintains that she is innocent of the
charge of setting fire to furniture in the
residence of Harry B.. Marsh. Her bail has
been reduced from 5000 TO 5000, and Miss
Abromet is confident that a good angel will
appear to-day with the amount necessary
to let her out.
You have no idea how 1 feel about being
locked up here she said last night, while
her black eyes flashed. 1T is prefectly hor-
rible. Everytime look at these bars and
gratings it makes me sick. Its the mean
est piece of spite work ever heard of to
prosecute a poor girl in this manner.
III tell what 1 think about those Marsh
people" she added, as she shook a small
finger through the bars, Il believe they set
their own house on fire so as to get me into
trouble. 1 nave never had any trouble with
them and 1 don't see why they should at
tempt TO lay anything of the sort on me.
1 just had a bare acquaintance with them.
Il don't like those pictures of me they are
putting in the papers," she continued.
They were taken nine years ago and l
don't think they are very good nkenesses."
AS an after thought she added: Then the
notoriety of it is terrible to anyone who
would shun anything Of that sort"
When asked why the Marshes should OBJ
ject to her living in the same neighbor-
hood, as ii was said they did object, she
said: Isn't hat the strangest thing you
ever heard Of? You see it could only be a
piece of spite work"
Detectives who are working on the case
believe that Miss Abromet knows more
about the burning Of articles in the Marsh
house than anyone else. but they think 1t
will be hard TO Xix the guilt on her. Detec-
tive Wallace said last night:
From our Investigations we will be able
to show that Miss Abromet threatened to
get even with the Marsh family because
they objected to her living so close 10 them.
We will show also hat her shoes exactly
fit the imprintS IN the mud near the Marsh
house. There are other little points that
Will be brought forward at the right time.
1t will be hard to convict her because the
testimony is altogether cir~cumstantial."
Detective Wallace says that the girl is
full of sharp independence of spirit. Sew
eral months ago." said Wallace, "she got
into a Scrape with a woman over a vase.
She had given the woman the vase for a
present and afterwards, getting angry at
her for some reason, she went TO the house
and took the vase away. l was called into
the case and Miss Abromet talked TO me
with more regard for the ideas she was anx-
iOuS TO express than for the delicacy of
the anguage she used"
The case is %arousing considerable inter-
est on account of the uniqueness. of the
alleged crime and because the girl who is
accused is more comely than the ordinary
person who is placed behind the bars.

The NEXT FALL FESTIVAL
MEMBERS OF MERCHANTS ASSOCIA-
TION SUBSCRIBE $4,000.
Confetti Throwing Will BE Interdicted
and Every Effort Made to Keep
the Show on a High Plane.

All doubt as to the spirit of the mer-
chants of the city toward the annual fall
festival was removed last night at the
monthly banquet of the Merchants Asso-
citation at the Columbia Club. Twenty-Five
members were present and Mayor Book
walter, Governor Durbin, Hugh ]. Nc
Gowan and John ]. Appel were guests of
the association. The special business be-
fore the meeting was the financing of the
next festival.
The discussion was as enthusiastic as it
was unanimous. The opinion that all con-
fetti throwing and street disorder
should be interdicted during the next
festival was so pronounced that it was
decided to propose before the Council
an ordinance against such liberties. All
present felt that this sort OF license was
not capable of regulations and that the
only way to regulate it was to abolish it.
When the time came for the proposal for
financial aid for the festival it was found
that those present had come prepared to
act. In ten minutes SIS. 600 was pledged by
members of the Merchants Association.
This subscription did not include three
members who felt that they must advise
with their partners before fixing the
amount of their guarantee or other sub
scriptions. When the aggregate was an
nounced there was great applause.
Secretary Saulter, of the Festival Com
pany, which was Incorporated two weeks
ago, says the official title of the next enter
tainment Will be THE Merchants Fall Fes-
tival and Society Horse Show" 1t will be
conducted on an entirely different and high
er plane than any previous one. The horse
show feature will be all that is implied in
the great shows elsewhere and will be in
charge of Mr.. Mortimer lowering, president
of the Columbia National Bank, who is one
of the best known show horsemen in the
country. Starting now. there will be ample
time TO provide a horse show on a large
scale.
