against the French, although they were still viewed with suspicion.
 A few days later the advance guard of the attacking force appeared, and
 hurried preparations were made to re- sist. The squaws and children were hurried down the river to an island. where they were left with small force to guard them, while the main body of the warriors remained to meet their foe. The faces of the braves were greased. their bodies painted. and the night spent in dancing their war dances. singing their war-songs, and
 working up their courage to meet the coming battle. The scouts brought in ever-increasing reports of the size Of the force that was making ready to fall upon them. La Sale offered to medi- ate between the two nations. so ad- vancing with two of his companions, he held out belt of wampum as a sigu of peace. When the Iroquois com menced firing on them La Salle sent the others back. and. proceeding alone, soon entered the Iroquois lines. He inquired haughtily what they. the al- lies of the French, meant by coming on a warlike errand against the Illini. who were the children of the great Onontio and who were under his special pro- lection. He stood unfiinching amid a group of bowling threatening savages. One brave. intoxicated with dreams of blood and murder, struck at him with a knife. but the blade that was intend- cd for his heart. striking a rib. glanced of. infiicting an ugly flesh wound. An other seized his hair with one hand. and with the other made the motions of scalping him. La Salle. without weapons or any means of defense. bold 1y chided them for their behavior. and demanded council of the chiefs. This was held. and he repeated his demands that the Illini be left in peace. threat ening the Iroquois with the wrath of France If they were harmed.
 After a long and tedious season of harangues from many of the chiefs they brought forth six packages cf beaver skins and placed them before La Sale The chief orator then pre- sented them to him and explained their meaning. The first two were to de- clare that the children of the grea. Onontio tthe IllinD were not to b. eaten The next was a plaster to heal

Great Lawyer Making Clocks.
 Lord Grimthorpe, who has been de voting his eighty-ninth year to design ing clock for the tower of the parish church at West Melton, Yorkshire, is surely the most remarkable of living clockmakers.

Chinese in Canada.

Canada's law imposing a tax of $5tC on every Chinese entering the Dominion has had prohibitive effect From July l, 1904, not single Chinese ar. rived, with the exception of two who escaped from steamships. In each case the steamship company had to pay the poll tax of $500. The exclusion oi Chinese has deprived British Columbia of a handsome revenue. In 1903 the province received from the poll tax $226,0 900, and the year before over S250,000.

FOREHEAD SCRATCH
KILLS E. N. PIKE
STRANGE CAUSE FOR DEATH OF
WELL KNOWN DRUGGIST.
Abrasion of the Skin from an Unknown
Cause Developed Blood Poisoning,
Which Seemed to Reach the Brain,
Death Resulting In Five Days
Operation Was Unavailing.

Eugene M. Pike, one of the best
known retail druggists in the city, died
at his home, 2643 Humboldt avenue s,
today, after an operation for blood
poisoning. The cause Of death was
most peculiar. Mr.. Pike was on a
fishing trip near Annandale, and in
some manner met with the accident
that caused his death. The skin on his
forehead was broken in some unknown
way, and soon after his return on Sun
day small pimple or skin eruption ap-
peared. It is not known whether it
was scratch or prick or the bite of
an insect. BY Monday afternoon he
began to suffer from the spot and con-
suited a physicians. who at once de-
clared the wound badly infected. He
pronounced it serus poisoning. The
wound was dressed and some relief
seemed to follow.
Tuesday and Wednesday the wound
began TO grow worse, and last night an
operation was performed. It is be-
ieved that the poison worked it's way
down over the forehead, and running
down over the bridge Of the nose in
vaded the brain thru the eye socket.
Mr.. Pike WASH, and came to Mime
apolis from Portland, Me-, over twenty
years ago. He has been in business or
the corner of Second avenue s an(
Fifth street., ever since. He has beer
in his present location, which is directly
across Fifth street from the New York
Life building, fifteen years. He, leave:
wife and one son. The funeral vii
be held Saturday at. pm. from the
family residence. Interment will be
private, r--..,z ~ r.

DESTITUTE ONES
FOUND STARVING.
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER LYING
FAINT ON THEIR BED.
Neighbor Child Discovers a Sad Case
of Concealed Want, Which Is Now
Being Relieved Mother Will Be
Given Work When Able to Do for
Herself.

Wondering why her little friend did
not play with the children of the neigh
borhood any more, a schoolgirl in South
Minneapolis stopped her play yester-
day to see what was the matter. She
went to the home of her companion,
but no one answered her knock. Then
she opened the door and walked up
stairs.
There upon the bed was her friend,
in an almost starved condition, and be-
side her lay her mother. In the room
there was half a loaf of bread and a
pitcher of water, Absolutely nothing
else to eat was to be found in the
house.
The little girl ran home to tell her
own mother. She had heard of the
Salvation Army and rushed to Captain
Miller to tell the sad story. An inves.
tigation disclosed that the rent had not
been paid for several weeks. About
thirteen years ago the family were
well-to-do until the father died. Since
that time the little hoard Of savings
has melted away and the mother has
| been too proud to ask for help.
The army has arranged for the pay
ment Of the rent and will provide work
as soon as the mother is well.
WI In such a case,' said Captain Mil
Ter today, cit is probable that the
mother and daughter would be wei
cared for If their names were made
public, but they are very sensitive, anC
if their names should appear in print
the mother would worry because hel
child might be held up to ridicule
among her companions: It requires 8
great deal of tact to help such people.

SHEET or " ATER
COVERS BUILDING
GLASS BLOCK EQUIPPED WITH
NOVEL FIRE PROTECTION.
Device Tested Last Night Successfully
Makes the Big Store Absolutely Safe
from an Exterior Fire Multitude of
Pipes Discharge Over $500 Gallons Of
Water Minute.

The test of the water curtain in
stalled at the Donaldson Glass Block
Tor fire protection was made last even
ing, and was highly successful.
B 1t began about $3.50 o CLOCK and was
witnessed by number Of people in
spite or the pouring rain. The building
was brilliantly Illuminated with rows
of every floor. Over these lights from
rows OF piping on every story poured
sprays OF water, forming a perfect cur
the building. The electric lights behind
the. spray make the building look like
an immense electric fountain. It was a
beautiful display.
The water curtain is an innovation in
the way Of Of ire protection. The Don.
aldson building is the, only one in the
west equipped with the expensive de-
vice. The firm installed the curtain sys-
TEN entirely for protection Of it's own
building from fire, and without consid-
Grafton OF any additional discount to be
| thus secured in insurance rates. It is
understood, however, that the insurance
companies will agree to decrease in
| their e1 rates because of the curtain.
The great efficiency of the water
curtain was first we'll demonstrated lat at
the Baltimore fire, where the only large
building left standing in the burned dis
trlct was one equipped with a water
curtain. This curtain is solely a pro-
lection from exterior danger. with a
view to being especially efficient in
| case OF congregations. The system is
very expensive to install, but Mr.. Don
aldson considers the additional pro-
lection 1T affords as well worth the out
lay, ..s5.a'." = i - Wv 0 ~
| At last night s test, the water cur
TAIN discharged an average of 1850
| gallons OF water a minute. This was
| forced into the curtain system from
the city, water mains and by the addi-
t1onal aid OF pump in the Donaldson
building basement, which has a capacity
OF 1000 gallons a minute. In event
OF any failure of the city water sup
ply, there is a storage tank of $4,000
| gallons in the basement. "
The work of installing the water cur
tain on the Donaldson building was be-
gun nearly three months ago under
supervision Of F. H. Overholt, chief en-
gineer Of, the building. Three thousand
feet OF pipe were used connecting with
265 heads. This is all in addition to
the interior sprinkler system, complete
in it's every detail, and having 4,S00
| heads. a.: IN. l.. =.

pecially interested in insurance, wit

thusiastic in their praise of the water

Ramsey county, having passed the

Most Ramsey county officials are on
