MANY INDIANS ASSEMBLE
5000 FROM NEBRASKA, SOUTH DA.
koTA AND ELSEWHERE.
THEY ARE AT FORT RANDALL

The Annual Convention of the Epis-
copaI Church Has Begun at White
swan-5ishop Hare viii Retire Ar.
ter This Meeting, From Activity.
For a week or ten days Indians from
Minnesota North Dakota and South
Dakota and Nebraska have been gath
ering at White Swan on the Missouri
river near old Fort Randall, in the
southern part of South Dakota, to at
tend the annual convocation of the
Episcopal church. Several thousand
Sioux and other Indians from the
states mentioned will be present.
Unusual interest attaches to the
gathering, which convenes today, for
the reason that it will be the last con-
vocation of the kind to be attended by
Bishop w. H. Hare prior to his retire
ment from active labor. The final
parting between the bishop and sew
eral thousand Indians after the con-
ference is over will be affecting.
The meeting will mark the close of
thirty-four years of active work by
Bishop Hare in this field. These years
of active work in the organization of
new Episcopal societies throughout
this territory and in extending the in
fluence of the church have witnessed
really wonderful changes.
A struggling white population, which
the bishop, in an address delivered at
Newark in the early days of his work
in this field, characterized as "subsist-
ing on the sale of firewater to the red
man." has bloomed into a prosperous
cultured state.
In view of the fact that this will be
the last conference of the kind to be
attended by Bishop Hare, missionary
leaders of the church from New York
and other eastern cities will be pres
ent.
Delegations of Indians have come
from all the Sioux agencies, every mis-
sion, church and guild being entitled
to three delegates, which alone will
swell the number to more than 5000.
In addition there will be many hun
dreds of other Indians, who are inter-
ested in the work of the church.

IO Be MARRIED At 10
AUNT SUSAN JOHNSON TO WE'D
THE SIXTH TIME.
The Old Lady Was Born When George
Washington Was President, and Says
She Often Saw Him When a Child.
Was Delayed In Omaha.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 11.-Aunt
Susan Johnson has reached Los Ange-
les. and is happy and contented over
her approaching wedding, notwith-
standing the episode which compelled
her to stop in Omaha on her way west.
Aunt Susan is a full-blooded negress
120 years old, or at least she thinks
she is. and the colored people of this
city are greatly interested in her ap-
preaching wedding. She has been
married six times, surviving her hus-
bands, all of whom were considerably
younger than she. Aunt Susan was
born on the Nickolls plantation near
Warrenton, Va, in 1885, when George
Washington was president and she
says that she had often seen him when
she was a child. The old woman has
not a tooth in her mouth and scarcely
hair on her head. Her face is deeply
wrinkled, but she is still wonderfully
active and vivacious. On her way
from the east she lost her ticket at
Dunlap, Iowa She was compelled to
stop at Omaha and waited there until
the ticket was found and forwarded to
her, when she continued her journey.
arriving here little the worse for her
long trip. Her future husband is a ne
gro, less than half her age. Since her
arrival in this city the bride has been
the recipient of many attentions from
the people of her race and many called
on her to hear her talk of olden times,
far beyond the recollection of the
present generation.

temperance Society Protests and Rapid
 Transit Board Acts.
 E New York, June 16-The temper ance organizations are getting after the Rapid Transit commission for per hitting entrances from subway sta tiOns to rathskellers. Two such en- frances exist. One is at the Brooklyn Bridge station and the other at Fourteenth street: The Rev George B. Woods of the National Temperance so- ciety protested yesterday against these entrances as encouragement by the city of the liquor traffic.
 While the matter was being discuss ed by the commission it was found that the board had never given permission for the opening of the Bridge station. The Interborough company seems to have given the privilege to the owner of the place without consulting the commission.
 Comptroller Grout moved that the doorway be closed, and the motion was adopted. With regard to the Four. teenth street case no action was taken, for the reason that the commission it. self had given permission for the com munication in consideration of the owner of the saloon granting easements to the city without compensation.

CRITICIsEs DOCTORS.
Says They Don't Appreciate Their
 Duty.


 Duty.
 In the monthly bulletin of the state board of health. Dr c. A. Lindley, secretary of the state board, takes the doctors to task for improper returns made to the bureau of vital statistics as to the causes of death. Dr Lind ley says:
 From much correspondence with those who are required by law to rem der certificates of death, it Is very evident that some of them believe that they are obliged by law to declare the cause of death in every instance, whether they know the cause or not. Indeed some of them have admitted holding that opinion. The unreason- ableness of it is at once apparent when 1t is remembered that there are many deaths respecting which the attending circumstances are not known, and the previous history of the cases cannot be learned with sufficient accuracy to make a. diagnosis. In such instances the law surely does not require the doctor to state what he does not know to be true. The only thing he can properly do is write "cause unknown"
 ''Agaln when doctors give as cause of death only symptoms of disease such as 'dropsy.' exhaustion 'as- phyxia.' hemorrhage,' tumor,' etc, which terms are utterly useless for classification and sanitary purposes. 1t indicates how incapable they are of appreciating the importance of the duty required of them.
 After stating the cause of death. the doctors should look on the back of the blank and observe If he has given 1t as accurately as he should"
 The mortality report received for the month of May show that there were 1.193 deaths in the state in the month. which was 156 less than the number in April. and 124 less than in May of last year. There were -195 deaths re- ported in the city of New Haven from causes as follows: Scarlet fever. 2: lagrippe. 1: cerebro spinal meningitis. 20: liphtheria and croup. 1: erysipelas. 1: typhoid fever. 1: malarial fever. 3: diarrhoea. [: consumption, 1o: pneu- monia. 17: bronchitis. s: diseases of the nervous system. 13: heart disease. %: accidents and violence. 13: and all other diseases. GS.

Miss Sage Must Observe Sisters Wish
 or Lose Her Property.
 Philadelphia, June 16-When the will of Charlotte D. Sage was admit ted to probate before the register of wills to-day one of the most curious clauses ever brought to light. The es- tate was valued at $350 and the will disposes of it in this wise:
 T bequeathed to my beloved sister Gf she promises to allow my father, Benjamin F. Sage, of beloved memory, all the cigars he wants and also all the vests he likes to wear in winterl all my personal and real estate I die possessed of and to which I shall be entitled at the time of my decease."
 Inquiry developed the fact that Miss Sage's father, who is an elderly man, has fondness for smoking cigars. Some time ago his eldest daughter. the one referred to in the will, refused to allow him to smoke his usual number of cigars on account of his health He felt the loss of tobacco keenly. His fondness for fancy waistcoats amount ed to a hobby. Miss Sage died on May %.

He is under $1.00O bail for a hearing on June 23.
