INDIANS STILL IN CANADA.
Many Redmen Remain in Nova Scotia
and Have Dropped All But Their
Rowing Habits.

Nova Scotia is behind the rest
OF the American continent in hay
ing neither exterminated nor de-,
bauched its Indian population. In
this, almost the easternmost
American land, you see the face of
an Indian oftener than you do in
any western region except on the
reservations. They seem more like
peasants than wild people; but
they keep most of their old wan
dering ways; they are guides,
hunters, fishermen, and they live
on the outskirts Of the villages, as
we'll as on a reserve on Bear river,
and make mOccasins, baskets, rus.
tic furniture and other odds and
ends.
When the French first came to
Port Royal in 1904 they made all
the Indians there Catholics. The
French were driven out by the
English, and their little town grew
up to woods, but the Indians re-.
manned Catholics. The connec-
ton has helped them to keep dis
tinct from the whites. Some of
them are as dark as Apaches.

The movement of crops was

wheat growers of Ramsey county,

These farmers hauled their
grain-often a distance of 25
miles-to Devils Lake, the county
seat, through which the Great

James J. Hill, president of the
Great Northern railroad, to build
a branch line from Devils Lake up
through their section. Mr.. Hill
said he could not build. Six of the
largest farmers met at a school.

Kelly, who owned 900 acres of
land and who hauled his wheat IL

said: off the Great Northern

the farmers built a railroad p

The greatest secrecy was thrown
about Mrs. Maybrick's departure

Associated Press that under her in

At the railroad station orders were
issued forbidding the employees to dis
cuss Mrs. Maybrick or even to admit
that she was at the convent.
The little town has taken deep in
terest in this international figure
Crowds daily stood at the iron gates
of the grounds, waiting for Mrs. May
brick to appear, but they were rarely
rewarded she going out only when the
road was reported clear.
When Mrs Maybrick first arrived
here she was kept under strict sur,
velliance, never leaving the convent
walls.
Even for a walk in the grounds she
would have to be escorted by one of
the sisters. Subsequently she was
allowed to walk in the quiet streets
of this picturesque place and in the
shady country lanes in the vicinity.
Those who have seen the published
portraits Of Mrs. Maybrick soon got
to recognize the blackrobed woman,
with black bonnet and flowing strings,
and gave her kindly greetings, which
frequently passed unnoticed, Mrs. May
brick seeking SO far as possible to
avoid the attention of the curious. Her
time at the convent was taken up by
sewing, reading and chatting with
the sisters, endearing herself to them
by many acts, showing that even the
many years of servitude in Aylesbury
prison had been unable to stamp out
her innate kindly disposition.

Of all the big packing houses in the

The labor proposition emanated not
from the butchers, but from a COM
mittee representing many GSerreu
trades, including the teamsters. 1t
consisted of a letter sent In duplicate
to the union on strike and to the
packers, in which each party to the
struggle was requested to participate
in joint meeting of employers and
all trades interested. The butchers
promptly answered that they were
ready to go into the conference.
Pending the outcome of this attempt
to reopen negotiations, the men in the
mechanical departments and the team

1t is becoming daily more evident
that Rosemount is not the place in
which to look for information con-

mitteeman. There can be no doubt
that the present conditions here favor
the selection of Senator German, if he
will accept the craftsmanship, but
Judge Parker today apparently knew

did the newspaper man who asked him

and chraged Mrs. Maybrick with the
murder of her husband. A long trial
followed, and a number of doctors
swore the deceased died of arsenic
poisoning. The defense proved that
for 20 years Mr. Maybrick had been
a confirmed user of arsenic and that
to have killed a dozen ordinary men.
Mrs. Maybrick was eventually SEN
fenced to death by the judge, Sir
F1tzjames Stephen who spoke for two
days in charging the jury. He said
1t was impossible for them to find her
not guilty in the face of the medical
evidence. The judge died some time
later in mad house.
From the time of Mrs. Maybrick's
conviction her mother, the Baroness
de Rouques, was unremitting in her
efforts in behalf of the prisoner She
succeeded in having the death sem
tence commuted to penal servitude
for 1ife and finally has obtained the
freedom of her daughter to whose re-
lease from prison she had devoted her
life. The Baroness was aided by in
fuential friends on both sides of the
Atlantic. In 1906, after the death
of Lord Russell, of Kellowen, chief
justice of England, letter which he
had written to Mrs. Maybrick in 1890
was discovered. 1t showed he was
convinced that she ought never to
have been convicted, and it has been
generally understood that all the re-
cent American ambassadors to the
court of St. James have done every
thing possible to obtain Mrs. May
bricks pardon.
The fact of her probable release was
used as a reason for securing the post
ponement of trial last year of law
uits bearing on Mrs. Maybrick's inter
est in land in Kentucky, Virginia and
West Virginia, until she was able to
personally testify. If she was not
able to testify in these suits Mrs
Maybrick and her mother would have
lost all title and interest In the many
thousands of acres of land involved in
the case.
On February last, Home Secretary
Akers-Douglas, replying to question
in the house of commons, confirmed
the reports which had been in circu-
lation that Mrs. Maybrick had been
removed from Aylesbury prison to a
convalescent home, where she would
remain until the summer, when she
would bo al
home secretary said license had been
granted to Mrs. Maybrick under the
penal servitude acts.
The transfer of the prisoner from
| penal prison to a quiet country
home constituted an almost unprece-

| ish authorities 1t was due to the
mediation of the Duchess of Bedford,
who, as a visitors of Aylesbury prison

sonal interest in Mrs. Maybrick, and

finally succeeded in obtaining the NIT

Mrs Maybrick's Imprisonment was
not terminated with the clang of
doors, the last sound which remains
in the ears of so many of her fellow
| prisoners. It closed before the arch.
| ed doorway of the white convent of
the Sisterhood of the Epiphany, in this
little town, with the black-robed sis-
| ters softly uttering their blessings
and good wishes for her future.
