Double Marriage Among Head Hunt

tened Dog Will Be Tidbit
Of tho Feast. 49,
st. Louis (Mo.) Special.

st. Louis (Mo.) Special. \ Il
Fatted dogs have been gathered for
the feast and double wedding Is soon
to be celebrated in the camp Of the
head-hunting Igorrotes at the worlds
fair.
Dog dinners are most essential to
the Igorrote marriage ceremony, for
It is section of the canine intestine,
stuffed with tender bits of the meat,
highly spiced and favored, that binds
the matrimonial contract. Fantastic
dances, which are also a part of the
ceremony, are daily rehearsed.
Consent has been given by the ma
tives for the public to witness the
weddings, and when all is ready it will
be one Of q days events at the exposi-
ton.
Gov. Hunts first intimation that
lovemaking was being INDUCED in by
his wards was when Domingo and b.
cosso, two Of the young warriors, lay
aside their spears and shields and sud.
denly began building each a house
after the fashion Of his clan.
Domingo is Bontoc and his people
prefer the low-roofed structure with
dirt floor. Bocosso is a Suyoc. 1t is
the custom of his kind to rear their
homes upon high foundations with
floors some distance from the ground.
In such ways the young men set at
their tasks and when it was observed
what they were about all the village
gossiped over the incident. Friends
gathered around while Domingo and
Bocosso worked and helped them to
shape the timbers and select the nipa
grass with which the houses are con-
structed.
While the men labored the women
brought water and food and sang songs

Had to File Turtles Beak.

The agonizing screams OF ten-year-old
William Lusch attracted crowd from
: radius of several blocks to the front
of a Wilkesbarre (Pa) restaurant,
where the lad had foolishly thrust his
finger into the beak of big swapping
turtle. An old inhabitant solemnly ad-
1ured the boy to be patient, for the turtle
would never let go till it Numbered.
The lads screams were Immediately re-
doubled but the turtle held on. Finally
a blacksmith, who was in the crowd, de-
clared he could deal with the situation, If
the boy and the turtle would wait a few
minutes. Going to his shop, which was
near by, he got two pairs of tongs and =
heavy file. Two men caught the turtles
head with the tongs, while the smith
proceeded to file of the top Of the rep
tiles beak. The boy was taken to
Doctors ONCE where his laceratsd finger

OF VENERABLE SCHOLAR. " =
DR.. Fisk Retired from Academic Life
After Long and Honorable Serv-
ice-To Be Succeeded by -,
Prof. Wilde. ,a. :,
Evanston (Iil.) Special

Evanston Qil.) Special.
The passing of the university year
marks the close Of an educational
career as unique as it has been event
full.
Prof. Herbert Franklin Fisk. in the
81 years of continuous service In his
position as head Of Northwestern Uni
versity academy, has seen the school OF
which he is the honored head grow
from humble beginnings to be a lead
ing department of great university
and recognized leader among schools
of its class.
In 1857 the trustees Of the university
voted that a portion of the university
building be granted for an academic
institution, such as should meet the
approval of the faculty of the univer-
sity." From so pupils in 1860 to 568
in 1904, from room in "old prep" to
the dedication of Fisk hall in 1899, and
the memorable educational conference
held last year in connection with the
celebration of the thirtieth year of DR..
Fisk's principalship, has been the story
of its material progress. Although
many academies have declined before
the increasing power and influence Of
the public schools, few, among them
Northwestern, have not only lived, but
have thrived and grown-so quietly as
almost to escape notice.,
Not only by the noble building that
hoo re hlS uouo ia tho work NJ nr Fisk
commemorated, but in an even more
lasting way in the lives and hearts Of
the 5000 men and women who have
learned to know and to call him mas
ter. Inseparably twined with the
traditions of the university, the his
tory of the one Is the story Of the
other. Tablets of bronze will corrode;
granite monuments crumble to dust;
but for the teacher who enshrines him

Domingo, of the Bontoc Tribe.)
for their entertainment Now tho
homes have been completed and are
ready for the inspection Of the brides.
Tugema is the demure maiden whose
dreamy eyes have soothed the savage
breast of the muchtattooed Bocosso.
She is 16 years old. and, like her lord,
Is a full.blooded Suyoc. Bocosso is dis
tinguished from other Igorrotes be-
cause of the unusual size Of the ear
ornaments which he wears. These are
large pieces of wood inlaid with mir
rors and inserted in CHASTITY Sits
through the ears.
Laguima, a 17.year-old belle Of the
Bontoc tribe. is to be the bride of the
warlike Domingo, whose tattoo marks
indicate that he has brought his share
of human heads to the camp of his
chief. This young lady is very much
attached to her pipe, and during re-
hearsals of the marriage ceremony she
keeps it constantly in her mouth.
Antonio, the great chief Of the Igor
rotes, has already approved the
matches which Cupid has made among
his dark-skinned and little-clothed sub
iects, and the oficial permission Of Gov.
Hunt, the representative Of the United
States government, under whose charge
the natives we're brought to St. Louis,
has been given.
On tho day Of the weddings great
feast Of dog and rice will be prepared
for all the tribes. and they will gather
on the plaza opposite the governors
bungalow. After the guests have
cleaned their plates the strange dish
of dog entrails will be served to the
two couples. When this has been eaten
Patriarch Byungasiu will chant bless
ing upon the unions. No promises Will
be exacted. no advice given. With but
a single swallow two hearts will be
made as one.
It is to dance and eat dog that the
I9orrote lives, and 1t IS difficult to tell
which pastime he likes the better.
When the season of festivities is over
the brides will be taken to their new
homes. where friends have fixed them
ont for housekeeping in real Igorrote
stvle. Then the men change their
names. but they do not take the names
~ their wives, as would be the case II
the American custom were reversed.
It all depends upon what happens
during the early honeymoon as to what
titles Domingo and Bocosso will bear
In their after lives, for their new names

rounding their wedding. II 1t should

self In the hearts of his scholars. there
Is no oblivion. Death cannot claim
him, for in his handiwork, though he
were dead. he would still live and
speak.
1t has been with no small anxiety
that the friends of the academy have
cast about for a worthy successor to
Dr. Fisk. Fortunately good man was
1T hand. Prof. Arthur Herbert Wilde,
whom the committee in charge of the
academy have recommended to the uni
versity as acting principal. The nom1-
nation will doubtless be approved. DR..
Wilde is also registrar in the college
of liberal arts. He was born April 20,
1865, at Saxonville, Mass. and pre-
pared for college in the Newton public
high school. Newton, Mass. He took
the degree of bachelor of arts in Bos-
ton university in 1887, the degree Of
bachelor of theology at the same insti-
tuition in 1891, and the degree Of doc
tor of philosophy at the same institu-
ton in 1901 He taught mathematics
and sciences in New Hampshire Con-
ference seminary from 1887 to 1888,
and Latin and Greek in the same school
from 1888 to 1889. He was instructor
In history in Northwestern university
academy from 1892 to 1901, being on
leave Of absence at Harvard university
from 1898 to 1900, was elected assistant
professor of history in Northwestern
university in 1901, and was appointed
registrar in 1902.
Prof. Wilde was known as one OF the
most efficient and interested teachers
in the academy and has become recog-
nized as one of the leading scholars OF
the country in his special field-medie-
val history. He was elected instructor
in history in the Harvard University
summer school in the year 1903, and 10
considered everywhere as one OF tho
leaders in the new school Of historical
research and investigation.

made lieutenant general, and two years
later secretary of war.
The next year saw Japan in the throes
of fierce civil war. The rebellion was
led by her greatest soldier, Field Marshal
Saigo, who had with him some $4,000 Of
her best trained samural. Yamagata led
the forces which crushed the rebellion.
Saigo having been slain, Yamagata be-
came the first military man in the en-
pire and was promoted to the full rank
of general.
Being a man Of great mental ability,
boundless energy, and strong person.
atty, he soon became almost as prOmi-
nent in the political world as in the mill
tary and was several times prime min
lister.
When war started with China in 1894
Yamagata was Immediately given COM
mand of the first army that invaded
Manchuria Those who were with the
army at the time describe the immense
enthusiasm with which the coming OF
the great general was created by his
soldiers. The rigors Of Manchurian
winter speedily reduced Yamagata to
such condition that the emperor, fear
full Of losing altogether the services OF
his ablest officer, called him back to
Toxic to act as his chief military adviser.
After the war Yamagata was made a
marquis and the new military rank of
field marshal was established, to which
he was promoted. When the Russo-Japa-
nese situation called for the appointment
Of a supreme council Of war Yamagats
was placed at its head.

Socialism Exists in China.

Not many people would turn to the
Chinese tc II, Q state of socialism,
yet such a system exists, according to
a Russian traveller who recently made
4 tour through Manchuria, and he
gives some interesting details of how
the system is worked in that province.
There are in a Chinese business house
neither proprietors nor employees, he
says. All persons employed are part
ners, who share in the profits Of thu
undertaking. During the year each
member receives, at stated times, >
kind of salary, which, however, is 50
meager as to be barely sufficient to
supply the necessaries of life. Then at
the end of the year the profits are d.
vided. One more instance that tho
"childlike and simple" celestial has
beaten the west by establishing a sys-
TEN which western socialists are still
merely preaching.

RULES ASTOR HOUSE.
BABY ALICE Is IDoLIZED BY
FATHER AND MOTHER.
sweet-Tempered Little Girl Who Will,
Some Day, Bea Great Heiress-
Always Under Mrs. As
y tors Eyes.
New York Special.

New York Special.
The world knows Mrs. John Jacob
Astor only as famous beauty and q
leader of exclusive society. But happy,
lucky, little Alice Willing Astor knows
this same radiantly beautiful woman
only as the dearest and best of moth
ers.
Alice Willing Astor is the only
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Jacob
Aston, and if ever baby girl captured
the hearts of her family it is this wee
sunny child who some day will have
for her own great part of the Astor
millions. -
Mrs: Astor idolizes the child and de-
clares she is happier in the nursery
with her small daughter than ever she
was amid the scenes of her greatest
social triumphs. And each day of her
life is now so lived that she proves
this.
The New York World is authority for
the statement that little Alice never
opens her eyes in the morning or closes
them at night without her mothers
KISS. Every day at five o'clock is baby s
hour at the big Aston mansion, and
then for frolic. for stories or for a
party"
Mrs. Astor and Alice are always to-
gether at this hour. and it is hard tell
ing which enjoys it more-the beauti-
full mother or the happy little girl.
So important a parsonage is baby
Astor that she has a whole suite of
apartments for her own special use.
She also has two nurses and her own
dear mother for her chum. Her suite
consists of a bedroom. bath, dressing
room and playroom. Her playroom is
also used as her private dining-room.
Just a peep into this room, with it's
wonderful collection Of toys, would
make any little girl or boy perfectly
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1904-07-21

sure that they had stepped into real
fairyland. All baby Alice's own rooms
are furnished in white and decorated
in pink. The furniture is white enamel
and Of the daintiest sort, and the hang
ings are OF soft, faint pink silk.
1t is in the nursery that the little
girl has her happist times. for there
her lovely mother comes to play dolls"
with her ana build big block houses
and make the automobiles go. Then,
when Alice is tired, she cuddles up in
her mothers arms--lucky little Alice
and listens to the most wonderful Of
fairy stories.
Mrs. Astor is great believer in fresh
air for small girls. and little Alice
spends more Of her time outdoors than
in the big Fifth avenue mansion.
Every morning she goes out riding in
her own baby carriage, and though she
enjoys this morning ride it cannot
compare with her outing in the after
noon, for then she very frequently goes
riding in state with her own beautiful
mother.
Mrs. Astor, whose own gowns are
he talk and admiration OF society, has
found time, ever since the coming Of
her little daughter. to give special at
tention to the child's clothes. The lit
tie girl is always dressed in pure white
and her frocks are made from the
daintiest of French models.
In design little Alice's clothes are
very simple, but it is needless to say
that they are not inexpensive. They
are all made by hand and the real lace
used is in the finest patterns. Baby
Astor has her own special laundress.
Baby Alice is a sweet tempered little
girl. Though she practically has all
she wants in life, yet she is not spoiled.
She is bright, attractive-looking little
child, with black hair and big dark
eyes. Every servant in the house is
devoted to her.
Little Alice has one brother, Vincent
Astor, but he is much older. He will
be 10 this coming November, and he
leads an entirely different life. He has
his own attendants and his own suite
of apartments, but he spends much
less time that his little sister in New
York, preferring his fathers country
place, Ferncliffe on the Hudson.
