INDIAN RELICS ARE BOGUS.
Factories in Denver and Other West
ern Cities.

Factories in Denver and Other West
ern Cities.
One industry that is gradually dy-
ing out in the West is the manufacture
Of Indian relics among the Indians.
At Denver and various other cities
girls and men are employed the year
round at turning out what are sold for
genuine Indian relics, but they are
spurious in more ways than one. The
competition of these pale-face factories
Is responsible in part for the decadence
of the industry among the Indians.
One interesting sight on the reserva-
ton has been the manufacture of In
dian clubs. A dozen or more old war
riors have put in several months in
making these weapons. Most of them
are made out of the hardest kind or
quartz and granite. An Indian takes
suitable piece of rock and heats 1t
white hot Then taking it out he pours,
drop by drop, the contents of a gourd
of ice-cold water on it. This causes the
rock to chip off piece at time until II
has reached the required shape. 1t is
then handed over to a squaw, who rubS
1t on sandstone until it is polished to the
required standard.
The making of Indian baskets is an
other decaying industry. The baskets
are getting scarcer every year as thu
old squaws die off. The young ones
like their pale-face sisters, object II
work of so tedious a character and de
cline to do it. The baskets are mad
from a sort of willow which the VIC
men wind in a coil as one would rope
and they keep building it up and mold
ing it into shape until they get the re
ouired height. Then they take differ
ent kinds of roots IL natural colOrs an
weave them into the outside of the baE
kets. They are a mark of genuineneS'
these natural roots, and artificial co
oring is the hallmark Of the spuriou
kind
While most Of these curios are sol
in Western stores to Eastern tende
feet, there are many fine collections
them in the West. An engineer rul
ming on the Elkhorn out of Chadro
Neb., has one of the finest collections

hot and dry. The feeling that over
whelmed me was inexpressible. 1t

Jeanne had thanked me with hardly
perceptible movement Of the lips; she
stood by the wall with an air of indif-
! ference and pride!
"They are very long about it," she
said sternly. M. Cope is man OF
method" someone replied. And a ST.
lence followed which told more and
more on ones nerves, for even the wait
ing in a peaceful frame of mind fin
ished by disturbing and emptying the
brain, like a pump. However, the mo
ment arrived when the searching Of
the servants ended, the door opened
disclosing our host, the two witnesses
and the old gentleman.
MY heart beat furiously. l felt my
self become terribly pale, but, conceal
ing my agitation and steadying m!

NJ. Cope smiled at what he consid

turned to the salon, where everything
was in disorder, my hosts were dis

troubled, and old Nine. Laroche hor-
ribly pale and trembling.

stolen-old family diamonds Of great
! value. All the servants had been
summoned into an adjoining roOm-in
short, a formal search was to be insti-
tuted. An old gentleman, M Cope,
had been unanimously selected to di'
rect this investigation just as l was
entering, and his first proposition was
that everyone should submit, or, rath
or. offer himself to be searched. Al
though the thing was rather offensive
no one protested, and it was decided
that, after the servants, each person
} present should be examined.
To tell the truth, all this seemed o.
small importance beside my persona

Mount Gilead. O.. April &C.

Mount Gilead, O., April &c.
Anna, the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs
George Hammond, of this village,
was stolen nearly 80 years ago.
She was then a babe of but five
years and was kidnapped while her
neither left her playing in the door
yard of their home and went to
neighbours q mile distant.
A covered wagon was known to
have passed down the country road
at dusk that day, but no trace of
either child or wagon could ever
be found, though careful search
was made for miles around.
A well-dressed woman of 35 years
stepped in the door of the humble
country home of these people yes
terday and claimed them as her
parents. She says that she has al
ways known Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
Holt, of San Antonio, Texas, as
her parents, until on her death bed
Mrs. Holt, a few days ago, told the
woman that her rightfu1 parents
resided in the village of Mount Gill
cad, O., and that they, the Holts,
stole her while making tour of
the states in covered wagon thir-
ty years ago.
Her identity is further proven

MONROE DOCTRINE
ENGLAND GIVES NOTICE OF TTX
ADOPTION IN PERSIAN GULF.
Any Attempt to Infringe the Decfar
ton Means War with Great Brit
tain, says Landsdowne-
Other News.

London, May 6.-Foreign Secree.
tary Landsdowne has proclaimed q
British Monroe Doctrine in the Par-
sian Gulf, and has practically no
titled the competing powers that
any attempt on their part to estab-
lish navy base or fortified post in
those waters means war with Great
Britain. -
81 say without hesitation" said
the foreign secretary, dealing with
the subject in the House of Lords,
"that we should regard the estab-
lishment of naval base or FORTH
fed port in the Persian Gulf by
any other power as very grave
menace to Great Britain's interests,
and we should certainly resist it
with all the means at our disposal" )"
Lord Landsdowne preceded this
explicit enunciation of British poll
Icy by review of the situation
there, as it affected British inter-
ests, contending that SO far as the
navigation of the Persian Gulf was
concerned Great Britain held po-
sition different to that of other pow
ers, both because it was owing to
British enterprise and expenditure
of life and money that the gulf was
now open to the commerce of the
world, and because the protection
of the sea route to India necessitat-
ed British predominance in the
gulf.
Lord Landsdowne's attitude in
this matter generally meets with
approval, although the answers
thereto of the other powers interest
ed in the gulf are awaited with
some anxiety.
The newspapers here comment on
the analogy of the present proceed
ings, which Captain Mahan SO
strongly recommended, to the Unit
| ed States policy Of Monroeism. The
Westminster Gazette holds that the
British motive, namely, the protec-
tion of the sea route to India, cor
responds exactly with the American
motive in excluding European pow
ers from American waters because
their territory is thereby threaten
ed.

Roseburg, Or, May 6.-About 8
o'clock last night the regular stage
coming from Myrtle point to Rose
burg was held up by two men near
the foot of Camas Mountain, about
20 miles from here.
Driver J. A. Sawyers, who is
quite deaf, was compelled to give
up bis revolver, and the three pas
sengers, F. Les, of Ceylon, Wis,
and William McGrath, >of New
Richmond, Wis, timber men. and
II. H. Scovel, Of the Llovd-Scovel
Iron Company, of San Francisco,
were lined up on the roadside and
one robher stood guard while the
other rif1ed their pockets, securing
over $3.50, most of which was con-
tributed by Scovel. The mail and
other valuables were not disturbed.
The highwaymen were both of
medium size and wore white masks
During the search the robbers kept
up a hot fire of talk, remarking that
it was shame to take the money,
etc, McGrath remarking that it
was a shame to rob poor working
man, and asked for enough money
to pay his hotel bill, and the robber
gave him 81 so. Then Lee asked
for his watch, which he said was a
present from his mother. The rob-
Der returned it with $50, remark
ing he could pay his hotel bill also.
Then Scovel cut in, saying, Il do
believe you fellows would hate to
see me left out here without a cent.
Can't you give me dollar out of
that little purse of mine?'
y The robber opened the purse and
handed Scovel what he thought
was dollar, but what was really a
500 piece, out of Scovel's supply of
gold. He then returned Scovel's
watch and all three purses. Then
going to the driver, he took his
gun, telling him that was danger
Gus thing for boy to play with.
The mails were not molested. Both
robbers then disappeared In the
brush, and the stage came on to
Roseburg.
Sheriff Parrott has gone out to
investigate and, if possible, appre.
bend the robbers. The same stage

Glen Cove, L. T., May 5.-It re-
quired just 20 minutes today for
the peerless cup defender Colum-
bia to demonstrate that in light
wind and beating to windward she
is better boat than the Herre-
shof's new cup yacht Reliance.
Starting frem a point to leeward
and slightly astern to the Reliance,
the Columbia sailed through the
new boats lee, tackled across her
bow, and in the next leg of mile
and a half increased her lead to
nearly a quarter of a mile. The
Reliance then withdrew. When
the Columbia went through her lee,
the Reliance kept off and voluntar-
lily gave up the advantage of her
wind position, but she was none
the less decisively and emphatical-
ly outsailed. This was the first
brush between the rivals. The sea
was as smooth>as a pond. The Re-
lance held her position only few
minutes, for as the breeze freshen-
ed the Columbia drew up on her
rival in astonishing fashion, ran
through her leeward, and in ten
minutes was leading the new boat
by lengths. The Columbia heeled
easily, while the Reliance stood up
much more stifay, though carrying
more canvas. The Columbia went
ahead and steadily drew away,
seeming to foot faster and sail clos
er to the wind. She was a quarter
of a mile ahead after 20 minutes
racing.
