INDIAN ATHLETICS.

An opportunity will be afforded Wis
itors of the Lewis and Clark exposi-
ton, opening in Portland June /, to
see the odd athletic sports of various
American Indian tribes. These should
prove Of unusual interest to those who
have had little or no acquaintance
with these native Americans, in the
true sense of the term. H. w. Ker-
rigan, manager of the exposition
athletic events, after considerable
correspondence with Indian tribes and
with the officials Of the government
Indian schools, has set aside August
81 as Indian day.
One of the most interesting and be-
wildering sports to be seen will be a
game similar to the pole and ring con-
test of white men. A long pole, with
leather thongs wrapped around its
middle, and ring are utilized for the
game. With quick movement the
Indian throws the pole so that it trav-
els through space about foot above
ground, and almost simultaneously he
throws the ring. If the ring falls on
the pole or on any of the throngs, points
are made. The dexterity required to
play this game successfully is aston
ishing.
There are none. who are not familiar
with the good old game of ''leap
frog" in which was found such keen
delight in school days. The Indians
have game which might be termed
leap frog" but it is exceedingly
more difficult than the game played
by young Americans. In the Indian 8
game the contestants jump over erect
figures instead of stopped ones. A
shrug of the shoulders will throw the
jumper off his balance. He must
needs be dexterous to avoid being best
ed by the man over whom he is jump
ing.
There is probably no race SO exciting
as an Indian pony race. These races
will feature the Indian day events at
the exposition. The ponies are all
sturdy built little equines and feet of
foot. No colors are used to distinguish
the riders. They appear nude, except
for loin bands. An awful whoop and
the race is on--revolvers are not used
for the start. The ponies fly across
country, their riders yelling like mad
men. Neck and neck they run, now
this one forging ahead and then an
other. The motley crowd of braves lin
ing the sides of the course whoop to
encourage their favorites. Bets are
made, not monetary, but for the pos
sibel exchange of horses or of skins or
of beads. The finish is the occasion
for horrifying and ear-splitting
whoops. The victor is carried upon
the shoulders of his enthusiastic ad-
mirers and general good time ends
the sport. To the person who has
never seen Indian sports of any kind,
this will prove exceptionally interest
ing.
Besides the pony races, there are
races afoot and endurance races be-
tween men and horses. In the latter,
man races afoot against horse and
rider, and in many instances he has
been known to beat his opponents. In
addition to the athletics on Indian day
the war dances of the tribes will be
given. Among the tribes participat-
ing will be the Selitz, Klamath, Yaki-
ma, Umatilla, Puyallup and Chinook
and student athletes from the Chem
ava, Paris, Haskell and Carlisle In
dians.

A business man, in calling attention
to the growing scarcity of ready mon
ey in the regular channels of trade
from the working class Of people and
also from the class that may be termed
ready spenders, attributes the cause to
saving for expenses at the Lewis and
Clark fair. Doubtless to certain de-
gree, the situation is thus sized up
correctly. One has but to reflect that
just prior to an ordinary local picnic
or Fourth of July celebration, the
circulation of money from the classes
mentioned always decreases to not
able extent. The fact that the Lewis
and Clark fair is to be given. ON a
large scale and for period of nearly
five months, makes it an easy matter
to forecast the conjecture that money
from certain sources will practically
be diverted from the ordinary chan
nels of trade into the exposition and
Portland Golfers for the next six
months. People in large numbers
will attend the exposition, and to at
tend the exposition, counting railroad
fare hotel bills, amusements, ETC.,
will cost money. It is the saving to
meet this expense that is dulling the
edge of trade in the small towns
and the commercial centers of the
whole state at the present time. Athe-
ma is no exception. Like conditions
prevail through the length and breadth
of the Inland Empire, in the mining
districts and in the towns aud cities of
Western Oregon and likewise in Wash
ington states. Portland, the home of
the great fair, is the center where no
loss is felt, where gain after gain and
direct benefit upon benefit is tho gen
eral order of things commercially
and otherwise. The result of the ex-
position being trade killer to the
state at large is but repetition of
like conditions that have existed in
other states where great expositions
have been held. During the reign of
the great "White City," the home of
the greatest fair the world has known,
business conditions became stagnant
in Illinois towns and Chicago reaped
the harvest. The same is true of Mis-
souri,. Business conditions have just
about reached normal in towns and
cities aside from st. Louis, where the
great fair was held and where an ex-
cessive stimulus predominates through
the process of undiminished drain
from other localities. Oregon is to
have her exposition. That it will be
well patronized goes without saying,
but that Portlnad and not the state
will be the gamer, is to be conceded
also, for the infallible criterian of
other one-town shows has been indel-
lably planted in other states, and

Alien Landlord Fears Uprisina

DUBLIN-Sir Douglas Brooke Bart.
a well known Irish landlord, has, it is
alleged, made a boast that he has an
armory at his mansion on the Cole
brooke estate, Fermanagh, and should
occasion arise would serve out rifles
to Orangemen. The declaration arose
out of a speech by Mr.. Mitchell, NJ. P.
for North Fermanagh, who said he well
remembers when a boy, during the
Fenian rising, every Protestant be-
lieved he would be slaughtered, and the
landlord of the Colebroole estate
served out rifles to his Protestant ten
ants to shoot the Fenians.
In reply to this speech Sir Douglas
Brooke, speaking at an Orange meet
ing, is reported to have said: THAT is
perfectly true. l see nothing to be
ashamed of in it. On the contrary. |

The admiralty has accepted Mr..
Schwab's propositions strictly on their
merits, he having convinced the au-
thorities that he can produce for Russia
warships vastly superior to anything
now afioat or at present projected by
any other government. They will be
mostly $4,000 ton vessels of enormous
horsepower and of a peculiar type,
combining the projectile resisting pow
er of the battleship with the speed and
wide radius of action of cruisers. They
will be delivered fully equipped as to
armor and ordnance. The remarkable
advance in naval architecture and con-
suuction which these American built
ships will mark is a well guarded Sc
cret, but it is believed it will involve
the use of nickel steel of great tensile
strength which will give greater power
with decreased weight. Mr.. Schwab
guarantees to create vessels with 20 per
cent higher efficiency than any now ex-
listing. 1t is understood. however, that
not all the ships will be built by the
Bethlehem company, as the time for
delivery is a factor. Russia desiring
that the ships be turned over as early

AGED WOMEN WALK
TO COMPOUND OSLER
Mrs. DiCkhart, 20, and Mrs.
Mueller, 80, Finish Sprint
Neck and Neck

CLEVELAND, O.-The Doan's Cor
ners four mile walking match for aged
women resulted today in a dead heat
two of the contestants finishing neck
and neck. One was Mrs. Susan Dick
hart, aged 70, and the other was Mrs.
Maria Mueller, aged 80. At the lunch
con which followed the match both
were presented with prize cakes. Mrs.
Mueller assured the rest of the party
that she intended to walk back to her
home in East Cleveland when the fes-
uVities were over. The object of the
contest was to prove Oslerism a fall
lacy.
The winner of third honors was Mrs.
Jane Edwards Root, aged &c. Fourth
place went to Mrs. Wendell Beager,
aged so, and fifth to Mrs Josephine
started and nine finished without
missing step. Two, becoming a little
fatigued near the finish, were persuad-
ed TO accept a lift in a touring car
provided for the purpose
Mrs. Dickbart and Mrs. Mueller cut
out a hot pace from the word go, and
dashed down Euclid avenue in a lope,
fighting for every foot, to the excite
ment of the spectators who lined the
sidewalks. Sometimes one was ahead,
sometimes the other, but never were
they more than a yard apart. Mrs
Dlckhart and Mrs. Mueller were still
together when they dashed up to the
door of No. % Euclid avenue, and were
declared the winners.
All the women were in excellent con-
dltlon at the finish, and all said they
were none the worse for the four mile
walk. Great care had been taken that
none of the women should OVerta,2 her
self, and most of them declared them
selves ready to do the distance over
again when they had arrived at the
goal. Instead, however, they were en-
tertained at luncheon and later at the
Prospect theater.
The first two miles, to Wilson ave-
nue., were covered in just an hour At
the halfway point a halt of twenty
minutes was called, and the contest
ants were served with tea and biscuits
At 1850 the match was resumed and
at 12:45 it was all over, the exact time
OF the winners being one hour and
fifty-fiVe minutes.
Mrs. Dickhart, one of the winners,
said she was very willing to walk over
the course again right away. She
threw her head back and laughed
heartily when her opinion of DR.. Os-
ler'S theory was requested.

NAN PATTERSON HAS
A FAVORABLE DAY
Prosecution Fails in One of Its
Principal COnten.
tons

NEW YORK, April 26.-The climax
Of the prosecution of Nan Patterson,
who is oR.1rial charged with shooting
Caesar" Young, was reached today
when Hyfnan Stern, the pawnbroker,
failed to Identify j. Morgan Smith as
the man to whom he sold the pistol
with which Young was killed. Stern
also failed to identify Nan Patterson
or Mrs. Smith as the woman who ac-
companied the man that purchased the
revolver. Smith had been brought
from Jail to confront Stern, and after
the latter's testimony Smith was taken
back to the Tombs.
Riotous. scenes attended the opening
of the courtroom for the afternoon
session. Women and men fought to
get past the police. Several women
tainted and many had their dresses
torn. Throughout the entire day Nan
Patterson followed the testimony with
more intense interest than on pre-
ViouS days, and when adjournment
was announced she carressed her father
and remarked: Il think this has been
d good day for me-"
Only two important witnesses for
the observation-disclosures" Young
widow and his racing partner, John
Millen-remained to be examined when
the trial adjourned today. Prosecutor
Rand announced that by noon tomor-
row the state would close it's case.

GORkY'S FINGER IS
ON RUSSIAN Pull Sc

LONDON, April 26.-Rt. Rev. T. E.
Wilkinson, bishop for northern Eu-
rope in an article in the Guardian, de-
scribes an interview he had with Max
ime Gorky at Bilderlingshof during the
course of an episcopal tour of Russia
The novelist was suffering from a cold
caught, he explained, while a prisoner
at St Petersburg in a damp, cold cell
and because of an insufficiency of cloth
ing. In other respects, Gorky says,
owing to the kindness of the soldiers
on guard and the jailers, who admired
his writings, he had not suffered
greatly.
In conversing on the subject of re-
ligion Gorky declared he had never
written, nor would he write, anything
against religion. On the contrary, he
earnestly desired to see his people
taught the true. vital religion. But he
had devoted his time to travelling afoot
IN Russia, inquiring into religious con-
dltlonS, the result convincing him that
the monks and the clergy generally
were Ignorant and unable to teach the
religion they professed, and that su-
perstition and formality pervaded their
so-called religion, about which there
was no reality.
They taught that there were sixty
or seventy Virgin Marys," he said. IT
was sheer polytheism. AS to dogmatic
teachings, they did not exist"
Gorky condemned the war, which he
said had ruined the peasants and was
running the country. Generally it was
unpopular and hated throughout Rus
STA. The Russians neither wished it
nor understood why it was waged:
soldiers went to it with the utmost re-
luctance; 1T was waged for the benefit
of the bureaucracy, not for Russia.
Detailing the events of "Vladimir's
Sunday" Gorky said he had little
doubt that his trial would result in his
being again imprisoned

FAMILY FUNERAL
FOR AGED NURSE

NEW YORK-Three generations of
the family of Hoffiin followed to the
grave yesterday the remains of their
dear old nurse, Mrs. Anna McKenny.
who for forty years had been their
steadfast and devoted companion. 1t
was the tribute of the three genera
tionS to the faithful friend whose de-
votiOn had made her one of the fam
lily.
Mrs. Virginia Hofflin. the eldest of
the surviving family, lives at No. pol
West One Hundred and Twentieth
street, rOomy brown stone house, in
which, one by one as they came into
the world and grew through their
nursery days, Aunt Anna" trotted the
four sons and three daughters on her
knee and rocked the cradle. Mrs. Hof-
film herself had been trotted and rock
ed before her children by this same
nurse, and, before her, Aunt Anna had
cared for her mother, Mrs. II. Robin
son, now dead. That was forty years
ago, when Aunt Anna" first came,
and Grandma Robinson was quite a
lady. But she found Aunt Anna such
jewel, and Aunt Anna found her
children such jewels, that they would
not separate.
Aunt Anna was IS years old when
she was suddenly stricken with heart
disease Tuesday. For many years the
children she had reared had watch
ed over her in her declining days to
make her happy. When she was
stricken it was a keen blow to them.
All the absent ones were told by tele-
graph, and there was deep grief in
the home when brothers and sisters
arrived from far off to find that they
were too late to kiss goodby to their
old nurse.
Yesterday the death of the old nurse
Yas advertised for the sake of her
relatives, If they can be found, and
the advertisement spoke of "our life
long and devoted friend and compan-
ion. The funeral party went to Ken
sico at L o'clock, and in it were twenty
grieving Hofflins, including six chill
dren's children.

American superiority over foreign ri

Mr.. Schwab's negotiations with the
Russian admiralty have resulted in the
practical conclusion of an arrangement
for the construction of a formidable
line of battleships of a type which
probably will startle the world. Mr.
Schwab will leave St. Petersburg to-
morrow. In addition to those which
will be built in the United States il is
quite likely that a yard will be con-
structed at Baltic port to be manned
by Russian workmen, but under Amer
