in this city. | thank you verv
much for the many kindnesses you

but instead of improving. he grew
worse from month to month and
fingered with no hope of recovery.
His wife notified us of his condition
and this commandery paid for him
all his assessments and dues and
kept him in good standing; thus
secured to his widow the nice sum
of $1,000.
This is another evidence that
fraternal protection protects.

WARDEN ALLAGOOD TO GO.
Man Who Whipped the Georgia Convict
Woman Expected to Resign.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 12.--Because it will
take several days to transcribe the testi-
mony taken in the case of Mamie De Girls.
the woman convict who was whipped at
the State convict farm in Milledgeville by
Warden Allagood, the Priaon Commission
will not make report to Gov. Terrell for
several days. Although the commissioners
have reached no definite decision yet, it is
understood generally that they disapproVe
of whipping women and compelling them
10 work in the fields with negro criminals.
and that Allagood will be compelled to re-
sign on this account especially as Gov
Terrell desires his resignation.
1t is thought that Allagood will be vim
dictated on the charge of making an i'm
proper proposal to the woman. In his
testimony, Allagood says chat the De Crls
woman presumed on his kindness to her.
and became unruly. lie then put her at
light labor to bring her under subsection,
and whipped her only lightly. She brought.
the charges of improper proposals out OF
spite, he said. The affair has created
much indignation throughout the State,
and although the De Girls woman's story
is discounted. the sentiment against the
logging Of women in convict camps Is
strong.
The Senate to-day passed law against the
Jogging OF women convicts X. {. Billiard,

DEFENDS INDIAN sun DANCE.
Curator Dorsey Of Chicago Answers Charges
Made Against Him at Washington.

Los ANGELES, Aug. 12.-"That DIR. Mooney
or could get up sun dance is absolutely
preposterous, declared George A. Dorsey.
curator Of the department OF anthropolo2y
of the Field Columbian Museum of Chicago,
in answer TO charges that have been made
in Washington that he and Dr. Mooney gave
the Indians money to torture themselves, so
that photographs could be taken. i have
taken this matter up with W. A. JONES' Com
missioner of Indian Affairs, and think he is
convinced now that nothing harmful has
resulted in permitting tie Indians 20 con-
t!nue their old religious ceremonies. Really.
these dances constitute religious observ-
ance in which the events in the creation
OF the world are dramatized.
at is quite true that the Government
has been endeavoring to induce the Indians
to abandon the sun dance. In ordering
the dance prohibited the Government
has been influenced largely by the Indian
missionaries, who have never understood
the sun dance. or. in fact, any of the religious
ceremonies of the Indian tribes
Mr.. Dorsey declares that Indian Superin-
tendent Segar. who made the complaint,
has made similar charges before. He
says also that Segar got up parade OF
Indians on July 4 and persuaded them TO
put on war paint and feathers. He con-
cludes:
1t may be stated finally that the Chey-
enne Indians of Oklahoma are supposed
to be citizens of the United States and.
as such. have az much right to carry on
religious ceremonies as any organization
or any other class of citizens"

methods have been adopted TO insure the

of the better circulation and the fact that

structure and trains run in from, and out
to, the open air. there will be a syphonIns
of air in the tunnel by moving trains which
will make the conditions here far better

Department, and Mr.. Cobb's recommended

We're almost never acted upon until an
