1t is seldom that somany Indians from
the Iowa Sac and Fox reservation ever
visit the city at one time. as was the
case Tuesday. because of the appear
ance of the Luella Forepaugh- Fish
aggregation. The red men of the res
ervation are chronic circus goers, to be
sure, and are always expected on oc-
casions when the blare of the trumpet
and the blaze of the trappings indicate
the presence of canvas city. Wild west
shows, with their braves-and what
wild west show is complete without its
cotere of red men--are even more of
an attraction to the Tama Indians than
Ringing Bros. AS bad" as Luella's
show is, to use the language of circus
trooper, Buffalo Bill never played to
so many Indians in Marshalltown. They
were bedecked in holiday attire too,
with full regalia of paint and feathers.

yer trinkets, etc. "Jim" Morgan, chief
of the Sac and Fox council. was here
in all his glory, with his breast shield
of wampum, which is never worn only
on state occasions. 1t is estimated that
there were at least 200 members of the

head to jingle and amuse him. Cen
eral Superintendent Sweeney. or the
Central, who was in the city Tuesday,
said that he had visited the Indian ter
ritory more or less for the past thirty
years. and never in his life before had
he seen so many Indians as he did
here yesterday.

o Captain, on whose wrinkled cheeks
Are marks OF storm and beating gale,
Have you not seen on distant seas
Somewhere. glimpse of stranger sail
Perchance when evening shadows fell,
And misty clouds presaged the night
Cplifted, on some crested wave,
Then slipping slowly from the sight?
Ny ship should have a sheen of gold.
And silken sails like bridal train,
And bear perfume, family sweet.
OF roses on the hills of Spain.
Youth promised long years ago
This ship would some time come to me-
And bear its lade of wealth and fame.
From distant lands beyond the sea.
It has not come, know not why.
1t may have sought this port in vain,
And in some unknown harbor lie
And idly fret its rusting chain.
Meanwhile I've beat the anvil's face
And felt the heated furnace blast.
And wealth Of Drawn and honest toll
Into life's circling currents cast.
I've climbed the headland morn and eve
To scan the dark horizon line
To catch O glimpse far, far at sea,
OF this belated ship of mine.
Full threescore years have fed away.
And still patient watch and wait;
My whitening hair and feeble steps
Suggest that ii may come too late.
For what is wealth to him who dies,
Or honor in the hour OF pain?
The Lethe for the I'll of years
Was never borne by ships from Spain

THE TELEPHONE GIRL.
Britain's Capital Is Likely to Need
Her for Some Time.

Her for Some Time.
London Telegraph.
Is the telephone girl doomed to disappear
from commercial and social life almost
upon the morrow OF her introduction? In
Chicago the central exchanges are equipped
with automatic switchboards, superseding
the young ladies. who in other cities oblig-
ingly act as Intermediates between SUBJ
scribers. Much nearer home than Chicago
that is to say, Paris-the mechanical sys-
tenn may be seen in operation. You merely
turn small dial to the number you need,
each numeral in its order, and then press
the button, and the telephone does the rest.
In London the postoffice system which is
installed at Queen Victoria street ap-
proaches as nearly possible the automat-
ic with the substitution of bright INTEL
ligent young person for apparatus far more
delicate and liable to get out of order and
let the subscribers down. Most people know
the telephone girl over the wire, but it is
not given to everybody to see her at work
in large room forming the upper floor of
the vacated Savings Bank.
Entering this sanctum, the impression is
not easy to dismiss that one has strayed
into a classroom. in which the girls. occu-
plying high stools, sit facing calculating
blackboards, and that they are having q
chattering time of ii. regardless OF the mon
itors at their desks in the center of the
hall. The majority Of the girls come from
the middle class and are trained in a tel
ephone school. Fancy may picture pleas
ingly the telephone girl as neat and comedy,
dark or fair, with q pride in her couture
and a taste for dainty blouses, and fancy
would not be far wrong. Attention is at
once drawn TO the bright band which makes
a not unattractive headdress, encircling the
hair. Its purpose is simply 10 support con-
veniently the earpiece of the telephone the
mouthpiece being also ingeniously kept at
constant range, or fixed focus. so TO speak.
The buzz OF conversation is not between
the girls themselves. but between them and

st. Georges, i'm Philadelphia, Rich in
Sacred Memories.


Sacred Memories.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
The one-hundred- and-sixteenth session of
the Philadelphia annual conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church convened in old
st. Georges, in Fourth street, above Race,
in this city, on March Is. The church is
entirely inadequate to accommodate the
crowds which seek admission to the meet
ings. Many other available churches in
this city and in some of the larger inland
cities of eastern Pennsylvania were offered
in which to hold the session. but for two
reasons so strong that no argument could
avail against them, st. Georges was Sc
lected.
The historic character Of the church was
the first consideration. 1t is not only the
Oldest Methodist Church In America, but it
is the oldest Methodist Church edifice used
continuously for worship in the world. There
is no other Methodist Church on the con-
tinent about which clusters so much sacred
historic interest.
The second consideration was that at the
last annual session of the conference a
committee was appointed to endeavor to
secure an endowment fund for this church,
and 1t was shown then by such men as
former Governor Robert Z. Pattison, John
Field and others that the efforts to secure
the endowment fund, would be greatly
strengthened if the appeal could be made
to the many laymen of wealth who attend
the conference sessions every year within
the historic walls of the church itself. The
committee having charge of the endowment
fund consists of Robert T.. Pattison, John
Field and the Rev. DR.. 8. w. Thomas. They
have asked for $4,000.
Many quaint customs of early Methodsm
and many interesting facts not generally
known will be recited by the historians of
the conference during the sessions. Among
them will be the facts that in the early
days of the church preaching services were
frequently held during week days as well
as Sunday, and that such services were
often held at O'Clock in the morning; that
the building would sometimes be so cold
during the winter months that the women
were accustomed to bring little stoves to
keep them warm while the services were
going on; that the people in those DAYS
were so plain and so simple In their manner
