ALBERT X. SMILEY.

American, to-day there is evidenced
earnest attention in study of his case
and desire to do for him what is in
cumbent for a guardian in charge Of a
dependent ward. Each year the In
dian conference at Lake Mohonk has
some one question as central theme;
one year the reservation; again the
educational problem, or the missionary
problem. At this years assemblage
Just closed, the conference worked on
the formulation of a plan to keep
liquor out of the Indian Territory.
The first Of the Indian conferences
at Lake Mohonk was called and or
ganized by Mr.. Smiley, the gentleman
that discovered" Lake Mohonk, and
an appointee of President Hayes as a
member of the board of Indian COM
missioners. Mr.. Smiley, realizing that
there was needed a general conference
of those interested in Indian affairs.
invited, seconded by his wife, hun
dred or more to come together to the
Smiley's Lake Mohonk home for dis
cussion of improved methods in deal
ing with the Indians.
To this first conference, convened
October, 1883. invitations were sent TO
the board of Indian commissioners, the
senate and house committees on In
dian affairs, army officers having deal
ings with the Indians, prominent mem
bers of the Indian Rights association,
heads OF Indian schools, editors and
leading men throughout the country
Lake Mohonk then was practically un.
known, and not all the invitations
were accepted, about so taking part in
the three days discussion that inau.
gurated the Indian conferences.
1t is said the conference has practi
cally dictated the governments Indian
policy, and, though it has not obtained
all 1t set out to accomplish, it has in
the 20 years of its work been a power
full friend to the red man. We con

INVENTIVE INGENUITY.

A decoy duck that will flap it's wings
and rise from the water has been put on
the market. The decoy is mounted on
a rod which fits into a tube whereby the
decoy may be anchored. The decoy is
connected with a cord to the shore or
wherever the hunter is and when the lat
ter pulls the bird moves.
An Illinois inventor has patented an
arrangement for creasing trousers with
out removing them from the wearer. It
consists Of pair Of rollers mounted on
q pair of handles, which are hinged to-
gether in the manner of pair of tongs.
The device may be heated in gas jet
or otherwise, and the garment is creased
by being passed between the rollers.
A new electric furnace method has
been invented in which the electro-neg-
ative metal is fused as the carthode in
an electric furnace with a nonattacka-
BILE substance as anode and an electro
lyte of fusible, only slightly volatile,
halogen compound of the more electro
positive metal. When a current is passed
through the ionization effected produces
combination of the metals with leb-

A Chicago man has combined police

pose to try the boiler in the navy. 1t
estimated that the new boiler will in
crease the radius Of action of torped
boat from ITS to $50 miles. and that of

ANNUAL MoHoNK MEETING HAS

Attended by Men and Women Inter

American Red Men Still in
This Country.

Lake Mohonk, famous asaconference
center, is the meeting place year after
year for men and women interested
in the welfare OF the remnant Of
American Indians left in this country.
Mr.. Trueblood, writing in the New
England magazine, refers to the "bor-

have gone forth such influences for
the saving and civilizing of the red
sons of the forest still left to US after
the century of dishonor."

The west, especially, has shown Iavor
to the adoption of women of some agri-

In the preservation and care Of our
threatened forests, there is now EVIL
denced widespread interest among
women. A Pennsylvania girl, Miss
Dock, of Harrisburg, through travels
with her father in the woodland regions
of her state, became a sincere lover Of
the forests, and presently set to work at
serious study of botany and what for
estry was offered at the University Of
studies, she traversed Pennsylvania
back and forth to talk at teachers and
| farmers institutes on the neglect of for
est lands, the crying need for knowledge
and practice of forestry. Her appeals
before the National Federation Of
Women's clubs, augmented by those Of
another Pennsylvania woman, Mrs Gif-
ford, led to the taking up of the subject
of forestry by hundreds of clubs; and
to-day the question is generally agi-
tated; work in the interests Of saving
our trees is being pushed enthusiastical-
ly and systematically. Quite generally
kaown is the victory obtained by some
Minnesota women over protesting lum-
Der companies, the women through
their efforts obtaining the passage Of
a forestry bill that should secure a per-
manent forest reserve at the headwaters
of the Mississippi.

vice in almost all its branches; recent
decisions of the courts have put several
Indian tribes on an equality with the
white man under the system of the
common law of the United States; two
tribes in the Indian Territory, the
Choctaws and the Chickasaws, have
taken land in severalty. Education has
been much advanced, special attention
being paid TO the industrial side; allot-
ments for homes have been taken by
$4,000 Indians. 10000 Indian children
are in schools. The tribal relation is
vanishing, Indians are becoming citi-
zens of the United States. The ieseg-
vation system is breaking up. Indians
are becoming farmers and stock rails
ers. and there is noticeable the fact
that the adult Indian has been
brought under preparation for self-sup-
port''-the ideal set down in the plat
form adopted in the third of the Indian
conferences.
Mohonk, the beautiful New York
lake, has in its name suggestion of
past association wiwth the Indian.

ton and remunerative. Miss Cutter, of
Massachusetts,, has made pecuniary
success of the business of raising orna-
mental trees and shrubs, and her small
fruit department has provided her not
only with interesting study, but re-
warded her financially. Mrs. Margaret
Deland, the well-known writer, is an
enthusiast on the subject of window
gardening as a profitable and pleasant
occupation for women, and her own
jonquils are far famed.
In England there is noticed a move
ment towards encouraging women to
take part in certain lines of outdoor
work, especially gardening. Lady War
wick has established guild of girl gar
deners, called Daughters of Ceres, and
a year ago put 40 young women in
charge of the grounds of Studley castle
Recently q garden party was held at the
castle to show what had been accom-
plished, and the visitors could give
naught but the heartiest praise to the
excellent results obtained by the new
set of workers.
