ARE TAUGHT TO COOK
LEADING THE INDIAN CHILDREN
ALONG PRACTICAL LINES.
Annual Report Of Miss Estelle Reel,
Superintendent Of the
Schools.

Miss EstelIe Reel. superintendent of In
dian schools, states in her annual report
to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs that
the past year has shown marked improve
ment in the methods Of instruction and that
gratifying progress has been made In
teaching English. On every reservation
where day schools are located the good eff
fects upon the older Indians can plainly
be seen. The day school system, it is
stated. has reached its best development
on the Pine Ridge and Rosebud reserva-
lions. Special attention has been given to
agriculture and Industrial training In In
dian school work. The recommendation
made last year for the appointment Of an
employment clerk to assist returning stu
dents in securing employment is renewed
Miss Reel urges agents and Supertntend-
ents to have the children enter the day
schools immediately upon reaching school
age.
In closing Miss Reel says: 1.-The schools
during the past year have been giving
greater attention to the grading and adj
vancing of pupils in a more. systematic
manner. Better crops were raised last year
by the installation Of irrigating plants in
a number of localities. By the increase in
the number and extent of school gardens
and the greater interest which the pupils
have been encouraged to take in garden
work, more extensive and varied vege-
has resulted. Tubs and boards have been
placed in school laundries, and superintend-
ents are being urged to see that the pupils
are taught family washing and ironing.
More attention has been given during
the past year to the teaching of cooking.
Teachers in the Indian service find that If
they are to keep abreast of the times they
must see that the pupils are taught this
most valuable branch of the work and that
they are instructed in the preparation of
meals for small family, similar to those
which they will have to prepare upon their
return to their homes. Earnest efforts are
being made in the schools to teach the In
dian child along practical lines, and en-
deavOr is made to develop his individuality,
drawing out all that Is good in him and in
spring him with ambition to become use
full to himself and his people. Among the
most encouraging evidences of the good re-
suits Of Indian education are the favorable
reports of returned students received
through superintendent who have watched
their course after leaving school,"

PRISONERS DARING ESCAPE.
Leaped From Car Window Of Swiftly
Moving Train.

A dispatch from Buffalo, N. Y, last night
says: While being brought from st. Louis
to Buffalo, Alonzo J. Whiteman tonight
escaped from Detective Sergt Albert Solo,
mon of Buffalo and William H. Field, as
sistant superintendent of detective agency
here Whiteman accomplished bis escape
in most daring manner jumping from the
Lake Shore fast mail train near Duniirk.
Whiteman and the two officers were in
stateroom on Pullman car. Whiteman
was lying on sofa The train was pulling
out Of the Dunkirk yards and was running
at about thirty miles an hour. Whiteman
left his seat and jumped head first through
the car window Solomon and Field rushed
to stop him, but were too late. They saw
Whiteman on the ground as the train
whizzed by.
The two officers demanded that the con-
ductor stop the train. He refused, on the
ground that the train was carrying United
States mail on a fast schedule. The train
was stopped at Silver Creek, however, Just
for a moment, to allow the detectives to
alight, and they returned to Dunkirk on an
accommodation train. where they COM
menced a search for Whiteman.
Whiteman was being brought back to
Buffalo on charge of forgery and grand
larceny, the grand jury now sitting having
returned an indictment against him con-
tanning those charges. He Is suspected of
being implicated in Irregularities in which
the Fidelity Trust Company of Buffalo was
the victim.
Whiteman was graduate of the Column
bia Law School, and, after he had been
graduated. went to Michigan and Minne-
sofa. He was elected to the Minnesota
state senate as a democrat when only
twenty-five years old He Is the author
of the Whiteman election law, which il
now In force in Minnesota. Since 1890 he
has been arrested several times in various
parts of the country.

TOBACCO STAMP CASE.
Assistant Secretary Armstrong; Order
Stands With Some Notifications.

The decision of the Treasury Department
In the tobacco customs stamp case, as FORE
casted in The Star. was announced yester-
day afternoon. 1t Is a rundown for the to-
bacco trust. The official statement of the
decision is as follows:
THE testimony establishes the fact that
the present stamp is used as a trade mark
by the cigar importers; that this trade
mark is valuable to them and confers an
advantage upon them as against the manu-
facturers of cigars In the United States
and that cigars are, In effect, the only
commodity imported into the United States
that receives the benefit Of such trade
mark. In view of the fact that this gov
eminent stamp, in it's present form, I'M
doubtedly gives a pecuniary advantage to
those using it, 1t seemed that the order al
ready issued by the department is. in its
essence, proper. The governments busi-
ness is to collect the revenue and to provide
SO far possible against fraud; but 1t is
not the government business to furnish
guaranty in the form of trade mark for
the benefit of the goods. This should be
left In the tobacco business exactly as 1t Is
in all other business.
1.-THE Secretary permits the order made by
Mr. Armstrong to stand so far as it relates to
reducing the size Of the stamp and to at
taching it in a less conspicuous place on
the box. He reyerses the order wherein 1t
requires the stamp to be of the same color
as the internal revenue stamp, and 1t will be
placed on the bottom Of the box, instead of
the top, but at the end where it now ap-
pears, opposite the internal revenue stamp.
1.-The result of the decision Will protect
the domestic manufacturer from a customs
stamp available as an advertisement and 1t
protects the importer also, by giving him a
stamp of distinctive color. which can be
seen by the purchaser If he cares to make
examination.
1.-THE Secretary has given orders that new
plates be prepared for printing the stamps
and placing them upon the boxes of import
ed cigars, in accordance with the decision
reached"
Secretary Shaw had been kept advised of
the progress of the proceedings, and had
long conference with the President ana As
sistant Secretary Taylor before the decision
was announced.

WHITE CRITICIsEs DUTCH.
Declares Netherlands Government
ShillyS hally Regarding Temple.

A dispatch from ithaca, N. Y, says: Ak
drew d. White. former president of th
American delegation to The Hague peaf
conference. when interviewed regarding n
opinion of the proposed new peace confe)
ence. said that although a new conferred
could hardly be called until the war in IL
east comes to an end. no nation can at thu
time urge the converting OF such an asser
bly, with more propriety than the Unit.
States. Mr.. White continued:
''Our government has stood firmly fro
first to last in favor of arbitration betwet
nations, and twice has made use OF y
tribunal for that purpose. Both Mr.. NJ
Kinley and Mr.. Roosevelt have been 10y,
to this idea.
"An American citizen also has made
magnificent gift to the nations for the pu
pose of erecting an international temp
Of peace in which the tribunal created :
the conference shall sit; and If his int
lions are carried out this edifice will u.
questionably be of vast benefit to t
world not merely from a practical point
view, but as an outward and visible sign
the nations of the great principles Whlt
the tribunal represents.
"A new conference might be of use
calling the present government OF the Net
erlands to a sense of Its duty. 1t Is ce
tain that if the liberal and broadmindf
government Of the Netherlands which W
in existence during the sessions Of the co
ference was still in being. that intern
tional palace of justice would before IL
have been given site and its walls wou
already be rising. How the present go
eminent reconciles Its dilatory and shill
shallying policy in this matter with
duties to the Netherlands it is difficult
see.
Men are beginning to ask in various par
of the world what the present Dutch go
eminent means. apd whether some occy
influence is at work hostile to the fund
mental idea of arbitration, or at least
the power of the governments of the wor
to establish tribunal to make 1t a realit
"A second conference would undoubted
bring this matter to head, and the wor
would learn whether any faction, combin
ton or coalition has gained control of t
Netherland and is using its power
thwart the legitimate aims of universal b
manity."
