Miss Alice Fletcher was the next to
speak, and described her experiences among
the Omaha Indians. She said she had learn
ed the Indian problem facing east instead
of west. She told of her work in shaping
several bills passed by Congress in 1881
She held that Indian children should not be
educated in government schools, but in the
regular public schools, for the association
with white children would be Of great bene-
fit to them.
When Miss Fletcher had finished Mrs T.
II. Alexander offered resolution asking
President Roosevelt to continue Col Pratt
as superintendent of the Carlisle Indian
School. 1t was adopted unanimously.

evening. It is pleasure to at
tend the meetings of this society
as everything is we'll conducted
and all numbers we'll rendered.
Quite awhile ago Miss May
field authorized the Senior cook
ing class to invent a dish, each
girl separately. Last week this
idea was successfully accom-
plished. Each girl gave in her
receipt, the necessaries were or
dered and on Tuesday the dishes
were tried. Each dish proved a
great success and the girls were
enthused over it, especially since
it was entirely original
1t is with pleasure that we
note the return of Mr.. r. G..
Bourque to school. Mr.. Bourque
has been absent for quite a num-
Der of days on account of illness
and the school has missed him
greatly.
The commencement exercises
are to be something great, not
because of the JOINT meeting of
the Societies, nor Of the sermon
and graduating exercises, al
though these are going to be the
best in the State but because of
the class night of the class of
1908. The class is hard at work
and will give US something inter-
esting on Monday night, the 25th
of May.
The Avatar congratulates the
Society on having received the
society pins, which are ex-
tremely pretty, the design of blue
and white being successfully
carried into effect. Mr.. William
Campbell jr., being the designer
of the pin, was presented with
one by the Society in acknowl-
edgement of his services.

ten for the purpose of seeing
what show our school would
make at the St.Louis Exposition.
Oh! what exciting moments
in store for all of our friends
who will come out on Saturday
to witness our first field day.
Boys and girls will take part
in these exercises and some very
peculiar games are going to be
played. Let every one speak to
his Or her friends and have a
large gathering at the grand
stand.
The program for the Rules of
Order Club on last Friday morn
ing, though short, was very
good, both instructive and anus
ing. The Third Glass sang, Mr..
Crumpacker had some excellent
current events and very excit-
ing debate took place before the
Club. The chosen subject was
Resolved, that an eight-hour
working day should be adopted
within the United States by law
The debaters on the aftirma-
tive were Mr.. Talbot and Miss
Compton, on the negative Mr..
Phillips and Miss Thibodeaux.
The affirmative won.
The amusing number which
was a surprise to every one pre-
sent except Miss McLaurin who
got it up, was a song by the
faculty. Needless to go into all
the details for not enough credit
would be given to it. but the
whole thing is that some of the
students represented the teach
ers and took their parts off
remarkably we'll.

Horrors in the Philippines.

Horrors in the Philippines.
Daily States.
AS far back as last February
General Miles submitted a re-
port to the War Department
stating the result of his investi-
cation of conditions in the Phil
ippines, but the report was sup
pressed by Secretary Root. A
portion of it, however, has been
smoked Out' of the War De-
partment and that portion fully
sustains all that has been
charged by the independent
newspapers regarding the afro
cities committed by officers and
men of the United States army
in the Philippines. General
Miles, during his stay in the
islands, learned that 600 natives
were confined as prisoners in a
building, onestory affair. only
80 feet wide and 60 long
Crowded as they were like sheep
in a space so narrow many of
the prisoners died of suffocation.
But this is not all. General Miles
reports that it was a common
practice to compel Fllipinos held
as prisoners of war; to pay for
their food, and something more
than $500, 900 thus went into the
pockets of army officers.
There were sixteen cases of
the water cure" torture called
to the attention of General Miles,

On Saturday May 2, the cam
puS will be thrOnged for this is
the day on which our athletic
games will take place. The pro-
gram is we'll under Roadway and
it will undoubtedly be one of the
most interesting features to
which the school has been
treated. There will be various
athletic feats performed by the
boys in the way of races, which
are the hurdle race, potato race,
elephant race, sack race, barrel
race, with the 100 yards dash.
Then comes the jumps, standing
and running, the tug of war and
other numbers. The girls have
the egg race entirely to them
selves and are making ready for
the contest. Next comes the
game of basket ball which will
prove one of the most interest
ing numbers of the day. The
sides are evenly matched. Miss
A. Guidry being captain of the
girls who will wear green and
Miss Marie Mouton of those who
wear yellow. This will be close
contest. The tennis champion
ship will also be played for on
this occasion so the schools best
players will entertain US. There
is indeed an inducement to the
students to enter this contest as
our gentlemen friends and the
business firms of Lafayette are
Offering prizes to the winners.
This field day is to be something
fine, something Lafayette has
never in it's long existence be-
fore witnessed, therefore let
every one be present and enjoy
it.

Miss Mayfield took several of
the girls to see the work shop on
Friday and every one came back
greatly astOnished at the indus
triOus work carried on in that
terribly noisy place. The dom
este science girls must work up
and have lots of pretty things on
exhibition so as not to let the
manual training boys get more
credit than themselves.
A very interesting piece of
work discovered in the work
shop among the numerous OBJ
jects, was a large skiff, just as
well made, and finished off as
nicely as you could have ex-
pected of a first class carpenter.
Messrs. Mills, Demanade, and
BiOssat made it and own it. 1t
is a very pretty piece of work
and the young men are to be
cOmplimented on it. 1t has
been painted green and will no
doubt make a very nice showing
when launched on the still waters
of Bayou Vermilion.
The teachers Of the parish
held their annual examinations
in our library on last Thursday
and Friday.
The school has been having
written tests during the past
week. The lessons instead of
being recited were written with
pen and ink and given to the
teachers for inspection. Much
was aroused as to what
would become of our papers, but
the mystery was cleared on
the school notes in last

stated that they had been writ

WE ARE THE. RICHEST.

Portland Telegram: The total
wealth of the world is estimated at
$500, DOC, O00, 900, of which the United
States is credited with $94, 100000, 900,
or nearly one-fourth. Great Britain
is the richest nation of Eprope, with
$50, 900, 600, 900, and France is rated
next, with $4S, 000, 000, 600. Germany
and Russia follow, with $40, ZOO, OOO, 900
and $780, 900, O0O, 900 respectively.
Wealth per capita is figured (by
Eugene Parsons in Gunton's Maya
zine as follows: United States, ST.
235; Great Britain, SLAP; France,
$1,257 (not including $4,000, 600, 900
loaned abroad; Germany $7O9 with
$4,000. O00, 900 of foreign investments
besides); Australia, $1,229; Denmark,
s1,105; Holland, 1878; Canada, 1905.
But the debts of these countries have
to be considered in this connection.
Our national debt is now 1915, 10000;
that of Great Britain, 1858, 1882;
of France, s5,71S,36O,19S of Germany,
1908, 638, 400. The debt per capita
is $50 in Great Britain, $148 in
France, $55 in Germany, 1872 in Rus
STA, and $50 in Canada, while it is
only $12 in the United States. Thus
the United States has not only far
the greatest amount of wealth of any
nation, but has the smallest debt of
any considerable power.

THE LAW WILL STICK.

Indianapolis News: According to
the very able attorneys for the merger
crowd, the court made %thirty-four err
rors in it's recent decision against
their clients. We doubt whether ever
the Louisville ball club could do
worse than that. But fortunately the
question is for the supreme court to
decide, and it may at least hold that
some of the errors in no way affect the
general result. In the meantime the
New York Sun is inconsolable. Long
after Wall street has settled down to
the conclusion that the decision is a
pretty good thing after all, and even
the Times seems to have lost some
of it's bitterness, the Sun walls
through almost four columns of the
deadly effect which the decision is
certain to have, and actually urges
the repeal of the antitrust law. Re-
peal the law just after we have found
out it means something? Well, we
guess not. The public man who
would venture even to suggest the
repeal of that law would find himself
in serious trouble.

Lieutenant Governor Lees explana-
ton, by proxy, concerning his sudden
departure from Missouri and his re-
fusal to return to assist the proper
authorities to enforce the laws he has
sworn to uphold is decidedly diaph-
-ous. He may be as innocent as he
$ said to be, by mis- brother, but a
strong suspicion has been created
that he is competent to give expert
testimony regarding baking powder
and it's effects upon Missouri legis-
lation, and incidentally also on other
matters that Circuit Attorney Folk
is trying to ascertain. His proposal
to return and submit to an examina-
ton before the grand jury conditional
that it shall be along lines limited by
himself is calculated to strengthen
that suspicion. 1t looks very much
as though he were connected with
things and persons of which he is not
only ashamed. but also that concern
ing the possible results of such con-
nections he is not certain, so far as
relates to his personal safety and the
integrity of his reputation.

1t may be said that Senator Hanna's
answer to the charges Of President
Parry concerning the various labor
CT gan' zatjons throughout the country
was made in characteristic language.
The words of the distinguished
Ohioan we're plain and emphaticaUy
tc the point, and the beauty Of 1t all is
that he, above all other men, is in a
position to speak knowingly and un-
derstandingly on the subject he and
Mr.. Parry discussed. While not in
exact words did the senator declare
the president of the manufacturers
association to have lied, but the i'm
preston he conveyed amounted to the
same thing. Being accustomed to de-
bate in a body where only polite Ian
guage is permitted, he c%ontented him.
self with saying that the other mar
was guilty of Misrepresentation. This
sounded better and at the same time
conveyed the gentleman's meaning

dated the men on duty that the man
ager wired an account Of the situation
to the company's New York officers
and received orders to close his Of
flee and accept no more business until
further orders from headquarters. In
a published statement the telegraph
company states that not until its en-
ployes shall be afforded complete pro-
lection by the authorities of Butte
will it attempt to resume business
there.
To the telegraph company the clos
ing of one of it's thousands OF offices
throughout the land is a small mat
ter, but not SO to the community in
which that company is located. To
the people it means a great deal of an
noyance and probably. much loss and
inconvenience, as the telegraph is in
dispensable to the modern business
man, who must be eve in a position
where he may have instant and re-
liable Of communication with
the most distant parts of the country,
sometimes of the world. Fortunately
Butte has the advantage of tele-
graphic connections Independent OF
the Western Union, but it is proving
inadequate to the needs of the city
and a loud wall is going up from
many who find themselves unable to
secure the service to which they have
been accustomed and which they need.
Efforts to patch up the trouble have so
far proved unavailing, although 9th
ers than the labor unions have taken
a hand at the thing. The telegraph
company claims for itself the right
to transact it's business in the way it
see fit and does not propose to be
dictated to by a crowd of boys, eve
if the latter have the support Of the
powerful labor organizations that ex-
list in Butte. The Business Mems as
ISOLATION has become interested in the
matter, and much as such a move may
be unpopular in Butte it is very like
ly that when it develops that arbitra-
ton is unsuccessful a vigorous de-
mand will be made on the authorities
to protect the company in it's efforts
to maintain it's service as it has done
heretofore. The situation has become
serious and some interesting develop
ments may be looked for in a few
days.

EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY.

Cleveland Leader: Railroad earn
ings throughout the country are run
ming far enough over the business OF
the corresponding part of last year to
make the rate Of gain about four
times as much as the rate of increase
in the population Of the United States.
That fact goes far toward demonstrate
ing a much more effective use Of the
productive power of the American
people and a fuller employment of the
Of their country.
The only exception which could be
made to this conclusion would be bas-
ed on the increase in rates which
has affected some phases of railroad
business. But no such influence has
had anything to do with the extra
ordinary growth of the potsal rev
nues of the country, and in the big
cities there has been nothing such as
the establishment Of the rural free
delivery system to stimulate the use
OF the mails. The fact that the rate
per cent of increase in the income
OF the p~ostofices in the most import
ant centers of population, trade and
industry has been about three times
as great as the rate of gain in the
number of people in the country, and
has been double the rate of growth in
the big cities, can be accounted for in
no other way than as evidence of very
unusual business activity and extra
ordinary prosperity.
AS to that broad condition, the evil
dence is overwhelming. The times
are about the best ever known in
America and no pessimist can maxi
a stand against the mass of proof
which can be brought forward to sup
port this assertion.

THE ITALIAN MARkEE.

NOnpariel Man in Minneapolis Jour-

Durrazzo, from fair Italia, is beating
up New York for heiresses. AS evil
dence of his e~arnestness in the chase,
the Markee Arti has advertised for a
beautiful, young and eligible lady,
who is willing to pay handsomely to
become the Markeerino de Razzledaz-
zle, with ancestral estates not 200
feet from the city limits of Naples, al
legged to have been in the family $50
