LITTLE SADIE, BELLE OF THE PNJTFS

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 2s.-L;t
tie Sadie, belle of the Yosemite In
dams, granddaughter of the sachen
Tenelya, who regned in the valley
when the first white men found then
way into that wonderful gorge, has
been christened by a priest and given
civilized name. She comes of a royal
line, which has known not Christianity
till the present generation. Sadie is
the first to be christened according to
the rites of the church.
James NJ. Roam and George H. Cren.
shaw were the first white men to enter
the Yosemite valley. That was in
March, 1851. They found Tenelya, the
grandfather of little Sadie, an old man,
nearly ripe for the grave. He reluct-
antly guided the men into the valley,
but later, when the rest of the COM
pany of which these men were mem
bers came up and attempted to enter
the picturesque valley, old Tenelya re-
pented of his gentleness and made wal
upon them. He was made a captive
and compelled to behave.
Little Sadie is the pet of the tribe
today. Her home is at the foot of the
famous Ell Captain, rock which rises
7Ol2 feet into the air. Side by side
with the sheltering rock stand the
Three Brothers," the tallest of which
Is 775l feet high. The little maiden's
home is near some OF the famous big
trees, one of which Is the GRIZZLY
Giant 80 feet in diameter and 81
feet tall. Few babies have so CRANE
and picturesque a home.

ION Of County Superintendent OF
Schools Watkins granting petition
of residents of district l49 to be trans

The act of the superintendent placed

M. L. Goetchins filed a petition with
the commissioners, appealing from the
action of the superintendent on the
ground that there was no reason for
the change, as district 149 has a small
attendance at best and the new ar
rangement is no more convenient than
the old.
The commissioners set the hearing

Washington. Jan. 9.-Yesterday tho
senate again discussed the Vest reso-
luton requesting the finance commit
tee to report bill removing the duty
on anthracite coal. and Mr.. Aldrich
replied to some OF the criticisms of
Mr.. Vest, made last Tuesday. Mr..
Aldrich insisted that the resolution
would not accomplish the result
sought, and that II infringed the con
sututional right OF the house in respect
70 revenue bills. Mr.. Aldrlch said
that a Democratic senate voted to put
duty of 80 cents a ton on coal IN
1894. and that they favored free coal
except on the day when they could
have voted free coal into the tariff
bill.
MT. Vest. replying, said Mr.. AL
drich's remarks could be read be-
tween the lines. He said it was an
open secret how the rate OF 30 cents
q ton was put on coal in the Wilson
bill. There were FIVE Democratic sen
ators opposed to the bill who were In
such position to dictate what should
be placed in the bill, and that their
votes were needed to pass the meas
ure. President Cleveland. he said. had
urged free coal on congress. I'VE
were held up" said Mr.. Vest, ''to use
plain vernacular, and told If we dared
to put free coal in the bill it would
be defeated. A compromise. therefore,
was effected on the basis of 80 cents
a ton.
What does 1t matter how anybody
voted in 1S94?" he inquired. is that
an answer to the poor, freezing people
who now demand immediate relief"
The resolution finally went over IN
til Monday.
