How are their morals?" I asked
Morals of the Indians.
1.-The morals of the Pueblo Indians have
always been high, but they were higher be-
fore the whites came. And, after three
hundred and sixty years of Spanish influ-
ence and example, they are, 1 believe. the
most moral and law-abiding Indians in the
United States. They are not subject to
temptation as the northern people and do
not have the same appetite for whisky.
But l have noticed that those who have
advanced the most rapidly have fallen the
lowest in morals The Zuni and Santo Do
mingo Indians are the most temperate peo-
pie i'm the world, but they are the most
conservative of the Pueblos and are max
ing the least progress.
The Navajos are making the greatest
Improvement from a material standpoint,
but not morally. They are increasing in
wealth, chiefly in horses and sheep. They
send US the brightest boys We have. Very
few of our Navajo students ever go back
to moccasins and blankets. Most of them
get out and work for wages. They are a
migratory people and do not have the same
attachment for their homes which you will
notice among Pueblos. We send large
number of boys up to Colorado every sea-
son during their vacations to work in the
sugar beet fields, in the saw-mills, railways
and in other capacities. and the Pueblos
always come back. Their home attachments
are very strong and it is not a bad trait"

WILL RESIDE IN ENGLAND.
Wealthy American Widow Negotiat
ing for Mrs. Langtry's Old Home,

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON, July %, 1903,
Another wealthy American woman has
decided to make her home in England. She
is Mrs. FRANKLIN Barton, who lived for
some years in ST. Louis, but who has made
her home for some time past in New York.
Her husband accumulated his fortune in
railway and mining speculations and al
though she has not made any great preten-
sions to wealth in the United States she is
understood to be mistress of couple of
million dollars, which amounts to a good
deal here.
She intends having both a London and
country residence, and according to nego-
tiations that are at present proceeding, it is
probable that she will become the tenant,
and perhaps the owner. of the lovely resi-
dence in Cadogan Gardens, where Mrs
Langtry lived when she was the reigning
favorite of King Edward who was then
Prince of Wales. He used to visit her
there, and it was at that house that there
occurred the famous chunk of ice" episode
which chilled the royal backbone and
shocked the princes sense of dignity that

Hyde Park.

Identity of Othello.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

MILAN, July so, 1905
An interesting discovery has been made
among the series of ancient documents
collected from the archives of the Calergi
family and presented to the Royal Institute
of Sciences and Letters at Venice by Signor
Cesara Levi. An inspection of these docu-
ments has revealed the identity of Othello,
the protaganonist of Shakespeare's tragedy,
who proves 10 have been one Nicolas Quer-
mi, son of Francesca. while Desdemona was
the daughter of Palma Querini Both be-
Ionged to noble Venetian families, which
were related 10 each other. The episode
forming the plot of the tragedy occurred
IN 1912 at the Church of ST. Franciscus at
Rethimo. in Gambia. where Desdemona had
taken refuge. The church has now been
converted into mosque. From the will of
Antonio Calergi. which has also been dis
covered, 1t appears that he was init
mate friend of Cynthio. from one of whose
tales Shakespeare took the materials for his
tragedy.

The schooner Minerva Miles, we'll

Wicomico river several days ago and was
so badly damaged that Capt S. j. Todd,
her master, abandoned her. and will make
no effort to save her. The rigging, anchors,

been stripped from her and she will be
left to be destroyed by winds and weather.
When the vessel went ashore she pounded
so hard on sand bar that her bottom was
crushed in.

members of Po Wong Wuey or the
Chinese reform society, and while they
are students here, SO to speak, they
all have an idea that their military
training will come in handy after the
Japanese Russian war is over, when in
all probability there will be tall do
ings' in the oriental country for the

HOMER LEA TELLS OF
TRAINING THE CHINESE

In an interview published In one OF
the Council Bluffs, Ia, papers recently
General" Homer Lea OF Los Angeles
says:
China is a country OF enormous size
and resources and inhabited by peo-
pie of as fine qualities as any race In
history. Yet blinded by prejudice and
influenced by demagoglcal arguments
we are treating this people with an
injustice that is monstrous. Where
will you find their counterpart for pa
tience. endurance. faithfulness to OBJ
legation, industry. obedience to law.
and all the qualities that make for
right living. The fruit growers ana
vineyard owners OF California appre-
clate the Chinese at their true worth,
and would welcome them as laborers.
In their stead they get Japanese, who
will go ON strike the minute they think
they have their employer in a tight
place. The Chinaman is wanted in the
Philippines. and in Hawaii he Is badly

reasons furnishes The Herald with the
following statement:
II was approached on numerous oc-
oasions by persons who claimed to he
at the head Of the reform army and
they offered me a brieadier generalship
at the salary allowed for such position
by the United States government, II I
would consent to leave the service Of
this government and go with them to
China.
II was given to understand that the
empress dowager, Tsi, would abdicate
in favor of the present deposed en-
peror, Kwong Sui, and that I should be
enlisted for three years service in the
regular army Of the Chinese empire. I
was to have transportation for myself
and family, all incidental expenses we're
to be met by the Chinese and there was
to be clause in my enlistment papers
granting me the privilege of leaving
the Chinese army service IL at any time
during the three years Of my enlistment
the big eastern empire should engage In
war with the United States. In other
words, in case my country should have
gone TO war within the prescribed time
OF my enlisted service in the Chinese
army l was not to be asked to fight
against the United States.
The Plan Outlined
According to those with whom was
in communication, the empress dowager
was to have abdcated In favor of the
deposed emperor September. year ago,
and the Americans employed to officer
the imperial army were to have pro-
ceeded to China last January. For
some reason or other, however, the
plans of the so-called reform
army leaders did not materialize, but
I understand they are still working
with the idea In view that the whole
affair will come to head in the course
Of another six or eight months, possibly
when 1 was offered a commission in
what was represented to me to be the
regular Chinese army took the matter
lightly, but communicated with friends
1f mine in the Orient, who are high In
diplomatic circles, to ascertain If thu

United States keep him out. 1t is only
a question of time when China will
throw off the yoke of tradition and
conservatism that keeps the country
in it's backward condition, and that is
educating young men of that race who
will go home and assist in the reform
movement that is sure to prevail ulti-
mately. The dowager empress is the
chief obstacle to the new order Of
things, but she is an old woman, ana

AS a rule, physicians are opposed to
proprietary medicines.
Many are opposed to Peruna just
because it is proprietary medicine.
In spite of the natural prejudice
against it, however, Peruna has won
the favor of great many physicians.
Some very prominent physicians use
and prescribe Peruna.
Many times Peruna finds its way
into the physicians family first.
His wife or children make use of it
and it's value is demonstrated in the
physicians own home.
Then he timidly prescribes it for his
patients.
