ARMENIAN CRATER
Represents Himself as Wesleyan Mis-.
sionary and Catholic Priest
Seeking Aid for Orphans.
Rev. Henderson and Father Levings
Cornered Him and He is Or
dered to Leave Town.

On Wednesday last an Armenian
arrived in Princeton who represented
himself as a missionary and stated
that his purpose was to seek funds
for an orphan school which he was
conducting in Malta, Kurdistan,
Asiatic Turkey. He exhibited Gre
dentials which purported to; be from
Bishop Sarkis, D. D., of the Wesleyan
Methodist church and others from a
justice of the peace at Vancouver, B.
c., which bore the official seal.
He first visited Rev. Henderson, to
whom he submitted these credentials
with number of others, and re-
quested Mr.. Henderson to give him a
letter of introduction to such citizens
of Princeton as he might call upon
a letter of general introduction.
Rev. Henderson refused to grant this
request, but gave him letter stating
that he had examined Mr.. Anton s
credentials and that they appeared to
be authentic, and also stating that he
(Mr:. Antony would show them to any,
. one desiring to make an examination.
On Wednesday afternoon Father
Levings met Rev. Henderson and
asked him if he had seen Mr.. Anton,
as Anton had represented himself to
him (Father Levings) as a Catholic
priest. Rev. Henderson replied that
he had met Anton and that he (Anton)
had represented himself to him as a
Wesleyan missionary.
While they (Father Levings and
Rev. Henderson, were discussing the
matter Anton came down the street
and Father Levings kept watch of him
while Rev. Henderson sought Marshal
Newton. The trio then cornered An
ton in Shepard's bakery and piled
him with questions. His answers
were very unsatisfactory and he was
ordered to leave Princeton forthwith
with the alternative of being arrested.
{ He departed on the next train, which

coed in collecting much money from
Princeton people. However this is Of
course but a supposition. The school
children were perhaps the greatest
sufferers, as many of them gave him
their nickels, dimes and quarters
which they were saving for Christmas.
He seemed to be very systematic in
recording all moneys received, and
upon an examination of his books
Rev. Henderson found that he had
visited the Anoka and Elk River pub
lie schools and had collected about
two dollars from each of them.
Other towns should look out for
this man.

IN THE CANAL ZONE.
Sanitary Conditions Improved and N
Longer Fear of Yellow Fever.

Sanitary Conditions Improved and No
Longer Fear of Yellow Fever.
Secretary Taft is confident that SAN
itary conditions on the isthmus of
Panama are so much improved that
there is no longer any danger of yell
low fever, and that when the plans of
the government are carried out it will
be as healthful as any other place in
the tropics. o. X ii. .
People travelling across the Pan
anna railroad are always told that
every tie represents a human life sac
rifced in its. construction, and it is
probably that the mortality attending
the building of that road was greater
than in any battle or in any epidemic
known to history. It was built
through a pestilential swamp reeking
with miasma, and no precautions
whatever were taken to protect the
health of the laborers The greater
part of the men who died, like those
who are employed at present, were
Jamaica negroes. They furnish the
best labor now found in the tropics,
but, as everybody connected with the
canal testifies, they are very poor
compared with what we are accus-
toned to in this zone.
Secretary Taft says that another
year will be required to solve the
labor problem. There are altogether
$4,000 men at work, and they are not
satisfactory. The engineers would
like to get rid of them and substitute
Japanese, Chinese or Italians, which
possibly may be done in the future.
The labor unions have secured the
application of the eight-hour law,
which is demoralizing, as everybody
down there works ten hours, and they
are decidedly opposed to the employ
ment of Chinese or Japanese. There
seems to be no good ground for their
position, because American labor will
not go there and hence there cannot
possibly be any competition with our
workmen at home. Mr.. Gompers says
that it is matter of principle and not
a question of race, color or climate:
that no man should work more than
eight hours day, be he white, black
or yellow, and he argues that the
government of the United States
should set an example to the rest of
the world.
This eight-hour rule will increase
the cost of the canal S1O,OOO,OOO or
ST., 900, 900 and, according to the judg-
ment of the engineers, will postpone
it's completion for year or two if not
more. - %
The Japanese government inspectors
last spring reported against allowing
Japanese subjects to go to Panama.
Within few months, Secretary Taft
says, there will be no reason for any,
one to object to working on the 18TH
mus owing to the climate or sanitary
conditions. The first thing the COM
mission did was to secure an abund-
ant supply of pure, fresh water. The
next step was to lay sewers in the
streets OF Panama, which, like New
Orleans, has always depended upon
surface drainage. About so per cent
OF the sewers have already been CON-
pleted and the rest will be finished be-
fore another year.

 But Bob was desperately in earnest. and he began to cilide himself, his voice low and rurnbling
 You fool! Going to back down already when the game is just about won. You're acting like a kid. By God! you're nice one to let the crack of a leaf terrorize you!"
 His dropping courage seemed to re- vive little at this soliloquy, and he hastened his steps, treading more firm ly toward the tree to which he had bound Eppie, the Indian girl. Only now had it seemed possible for him to proceed with his bizarre work, though this was the fourth time he had gone out to the fringes of the grove and re- turned.
 He looked hard at the girl, hoping for some signs of relenting, before picking up a small steel instrument which lay on a piece of soiled and crumpled news paper. He began to pick tiny fiecks on Eppie's low, dark brow, when he noticed the firm set expression of her mouth. His hands fell to trembling as the tears triekled down her cheeks; but after wiping them away with a blue handkerchief he went doggediy on with his work.
 I'm making the last now,' he pleaded, land it's not too late yet. Don't be stubborn, Eppie. If you, agree, I'll not put on a. bit of the char coal. We can go into town after dark and hunt up a justice. But if you re- fuse. by God I'll put 1t on so thick they'll see it mile on dusty road"

 The girl began to sob, muttering over and over again: You are a mean white mani" But there was no yield ing in her muttering, and Bob grew tired of looking in vain for the least 1 sign of wavering. His entreaties and | threats had not brought him one tender | glance.
 His own eyes now grew misty. and an oath so loudly escaped him that he started and peered anxiously for a second through the grove's aisles to the open beyond. Then he began to work furiously, and quickly but gently he rubbed in the powdered charcoal that stamped the name Bob on her fore- head.
 It was several weeks later that Ep- | pie so savagely closed the door of her bare little room, .as~if. to shut out her small world and every one in 1t. Her mood was one of forlorn dejection.

Sometimes she wished that she had been left in the woods to starve; then all her difficulties would , be over. They were coming thick and fast now since she had told the new conner, the visitor from the reservation | in the south, that she would be his wife. How could she have forgotten her white lovers's warning. Why did she not remember, every moment of the day, the hateful letters? Of course, as soon as the newcomer found out her secret he would hate and loathe her. he would consider her the dust under his feet, the lowest and meanest Indian girl that ever lived. She knew her peo- pie too well to think that this young Indian, whose eyes were always very bright which they looked into hers, would want her for his wife if he knew why her hair had been drawn down over her brow. Slowly and very sadly she left the glass and took her seat by the window.
