which are being held in trust for him.
If any one has a bill or note against the
Indian representing debt contracted be-
fore the land is sold these are sent to the
Union agency, where they are reviewed
before the money is checked out to the
Indian so he can settle the Obligations.
This system furnishes thorough and
adequate protection to the Indian and ac-
complshes even a greater purpose. 1t
assists the Indian in learning how to look
after his own affairs. In going ahead and
engaging his own labor. buying the ma
terial and experimenting the work of
having his Improvements made. he is
given all the advantage of managing his
own affairs without being subjected to
the danger of being grated in the pro-
ceeding. He also learns from his full
blood neighbor how much it cost him to
have his Improvements put in, and the
price paid for materials.

As a result Of this system the full
blood Indian is fast learning the funda
mental principles of business and at the
same time is building a home for himself
and children upon his homestead, which
cannot be sold OF. encumbered for twenty
one years.
Indian agency officials say that full
blood seldom breaks his promise to use
and make the Improvements as agreed
when he is allowed to ALLEVIATE his land
Another admirable trait in the full-blood
is that he seldome sends to the agency.
for a monthly instalment of the money
due him in advance of the stipulated
time, and if he is not actually in need of
the money he allows the payments to run
over for several months without drawing,
thereby receiving interest. He is also be-
coming averse to mortgages and notes.
and it is much more difficult matter to
persuade him to contract a debt than it
was few years ago.
1t is believed that it will be only mat
ter of a few years when the fullblood In
liam will be uflly as competent to handle
his own affairs as the average white citi-
zen of this country.

MONEY FOR CALIFORNIA

Mayor Pagan this morning received a
check for $50 from Daniel Moriarity, of
the firm of Mullins &c.. for the benefit
of the San Francisco sufferers. The E.
Van Houten Grand Army Post a'so sent
to the Mayor check for $50. AS stated
in yesterdays 'News," the John Mahl
Co. sent the Mayor check for $1,000
to be forwarded the sufferers, and Isaac
Klinghoffer sent the Mayor check for
$40. The Mayors COMMITTEES of fifty
two prominent citizens will meet to-mor-
row afternoon. Manager Frank Hender-
son, Of the Academy Of Music, has ten-
dered the use Of his theatre for the meet
ings Of the committee.

relegated to the supplement, in which is
treasury of prayers, selections from
the great preachers in the past great
ages of the church universal. This atti-
tude expresses, of course the fundamen-
tad antagonism of the extremely non
lithurgical element, which feels that the
admission of these prayers into the body
of the book will be the beginning of such
Journalism as has always been the object
of attack in the past.
The Rev. sDr. Henry Van Dyke, of
Princeton Seminary, is to make the final
report on the prayer book. DR.. Van
Dyke himself is not an advocate of an
enforced liturgy, and the book is not to
be put forth as such. The prayers are
optional with everyone The book is
merely recommended to the churches. 1t
is sort of elaboration of the Directory
Of Worship, which is based on the consti-
tuition of the church.
Eyangehzation will also receive con-
siderable attention from the assembly
The committee having this work in
charge, of which John H. Converse, of
Philadelphia, is chairman, will offer a re-
port setting forth the marvellous strides
made in this department of church ac-
tivity in the last year. The extent of
the success that has attended the lab
ors Of DR.. Chapman and his forty or fifty
coworkers in New Jersey, New York and
the west will prove one of the most graf
flying factors in the development Of pres
ent-day Presbyterianism.
Overtures will come up from presby-
teries looking TO the appointment Of
committees to consider the merging of
the boards of the church. AS now CON
stituted there are eight of these conduct
ing its general affairs. The proposition
Is, III substance, TO reduce them to three.
so that there shall be only the Foreign
Board, the Home Board, including the
Freeman's work. and the Board of Min
isterial Relief, with a suggestion that
this be transformed into a kind of asso-
ciation to make provision for ministerial
annuities. How this proposed merger
viii be received on one is willing to
prophecy.
How, in the future, shall the young
peoples and the Sabbath school work
be done is vital question that will
receive great deal of consideration. At
the last assembly the matter of organ:z-
ing the work was left to the board of
publication and Sabbath School work. It
is likely that a secretary viii take charge
of this branch of the church's interests.

BOUGHT CAR OVER THE PHONE

Hoosiers do original things when it
comes to matters relating to the automo-
bile They are even buying them by
telephone now. A few days ago William
Henly, a prosperous merchant of Rich

Vehicle Company, at Indianapolis, by
long distance telephone. A few ques-
tions ensued as to the good qualities of
the White Steamer, that ended few
minutes later by Mr. Henly giving his

MERELY
MENTIONED

Whom will Judge Blair appoint as Ex-
else Commissioners for Jersey City?
This is what is worrying the Dickinson
ties almost as much as the Fagantes.
Judge Blair usually does as he pleases.
He is not controlled by and man or set
of men. When the new Excise Board
is announced the chances are that both
factions of the Republican party win be
surprised. One thing that can be depend
ed upon. whoever Judge Blair appoints
will be independent of the liquor inter
ests.

PERFORM In SPACE
Clever Artists Who Give Unique
Performances High in the Air

The big, aerial acts in the circus are of
comparatively recent origin. 1t has not
former confined his gymnastic endeavors
to a single trapeze, and his hair-raising
feats, consisted principally in "skinning
the cat" as the small boy calls it, or
hanging by his toes without the aid of
Ia net" When, few years ago. the
Hanlon-Volters and others introduced
the flying trapeze to the American pub
lie, they created furore There was,
indeed. something new in the circus
world.
Wonderful as these pioneer acts were,
it is probable that they would scarcely
attract passing notice in such mann
moth institution as the Barnum & Bailey
circus of to-day. This big show which
will be seen here on April so, has evil
IDENTIFY kept in touch with the newest de-
yedopments in mid-air achievements, for
this seasons list of arenic attractions is
punctuated by Wany aerial acts of a
most unique ann daring character.
Among the top-liners is the Imperial Vi
ennese Troupe of ten men and women.
One of their fcats is thus aptly described:
@After performing a series of the most
wonderful flights, one of the aerialists
suspends himself on the centre trapeze,
head downward Then, one after anoth-
er, the other performers, securing mo-
mentum by swinging on the outer bars,
dart through the air, and, turning single
and double, and even triple somersaults,
land safely into the hands Of the catcher.
The climax comes when, instead Of catch
ing the flying meteors by the hands, the
waiting artist grasps one of his associ-
ates by the ankles, and then. with long
swing, sends him flying through space,
to land safely at the other end Of the
aerial arena"
From the same description these facts
are Among the other great aer-
ial companies are-the Steves Troupe,
which gives startling mid-air perform
ance with the aid of an aerial tremplin;
The Siegrist- -Silbons, the Villiers and the
Millettes, who introduce many novel and
difficult feats in the dome of the great
canvass ampitheatre; and many others,
including the Troupe Carmen, five clever
men and women, who turn fipfap on q
platform carried by two of their number,
balanced ON slender wire; dance,
pirouette, jump over one another's heads,
execute difficult somersaults and perform
many other feats of daring and equil-
brium on wire suspended in the air.
A solnersault-turning automobile ride
and several new thrillers are announced,
in connection with a mammoth triple
ring circus performance, a new spectacle,
Peace, allegorically depicting the clos
ing days of the Russo-J apanest war, and
very complete and interesting sociological
display, with four CRATES and many
other rare and curious wild beasts.

PENNSY'S GREAT
IMPROVEMENTS
Railroads Projects Call for
An Expenditure of About
500, 100000
WORK HAS ALREADY BEGUN
IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST TWO
YEARS TO CARRY OUT THE
PLANS AS NOW ARRANGED

The programme of construction and
equipment of the Pennsylvania Railroad
for the next year or two will involve an
enormous amount of new financing, in
spite of the fact that during the past six
years the company and its subsidiaries
have spent well over S130O00,ooo for
construction and equipment.
In addition to the tunnel under the
Hudson River and the entr3nce into New
York, there are many undertakings now
on hand. The construction of new
freight lines is said to be intended as fol-
lows:
Miles.
Morrisville to Newark ............ so
Glenloch to Philadelphia ...... 20
Pitcairn 70 Blairsville ........... 43
In addition to this track building,
which is not matter of supreme inn
portance when taken in conjunction with
the immense financial schemes of the
Pennsylvania and expenditure of about
$15,000,0O0 for water supply and $10,-
100000 for equipment has already been
arranged.
No adequate estimate is forthcoming
of the amount of money that will be
needed for the New York City extension,
involving as it will the construction of
tunnels, tracks, stations, shops, the cleo
trifcation of lines and very large in
crease in motive power and equipment.
1t is probably quite safe to say that the
total cost of this extension to the Penn
sylvania will not be less than S75,0O0,-
600.
1t is well to consider what this means.
To that end. the following summary of
the capital expenditures of the Pennsyl-
vania in the past six years will be use
full
Increase in:-
Road and equipment. ...... $106. .S34. .5S2
Securities owned ......... 116,242,032
Advances ................ 26,9t9,oS9
Total. ............. S25oo56, sos
This is an increase of over 100 per
cent. in the total amount of capital rep
resented by these three items in 1899.
Yet this appears to be but the begin
ming.
1t must be admitted that the manage
ment Of the Pennsylvania Railroad has
gone ahead with its plans and specifica
tions without paying much attention to
the financial end of these plans and speci-
fcations.
There is now talk of issuing $50O00,-
600 of Pennsylvania stock at par to
stockholders. If this were done, the
rights would be worth, perhaps, Sc at
the outset. Whatever may be the meth
cd, it is well to again point out that
within the next two years the Pennsyl
vania will call upon the public for an
additional S1O00O0,O00 or more Of money
either in the shape of a subscription to
stock, or through the sale of. bonds. or
other evidences of debt.

While the Faganites and Dickinsonites
are striving to outdo each other in the
selling of tickets for the outings next
August of these rival Republican organi-
cations, the Robert Davis Association is
quietly planning to make tais years
event one of the most successful ever
held under its auspices. The Davis As
sociation's tickets have not yet been is
sued. There is no need of any great
hurry. Taxpayers and business men are
not held up and required to take Da-
Wis ticket. They are sent only to the
members of the Association. With the
Pagan Association it is quite different.
Every office holder has a bunch of
tickets, and many persons who would
not otherwise buy ticket are obliged to
take one, and in many instances more, or
else suffer annoyance in some way. 1t
is the same with the Dickinson Associa-
ton.

A delegation of North Hudson Demo-
Gratis called at Democratic Headquarters
yesterday morning and strongly advocated
the appointment of Thomas Usher as a
member of the new County Board of Tax
Appeals Commissioners. Mr.. Usher was
for a number of years secretary of the
State Board of Taxation, and was re
moved for political reasons. He is an
authority on the subject Of taxation, and
would make asyaluable member of the
Board. AS it is understood that Senator
Minturn viii be consulted by Governor
Stokes as to who viii be the minority
member, the friends Of Mr.. Usher have
hopes that he will be the selection. He
is on friendly terms with Senator Min
turn, and the fact that he has the in
dorsement of Charles G. Black will
strengthen his candidacy. Mr.. Usher is
popular Democrat and has done excel
lent work for the party in the North
Hudson section.

in Elks' Hall last night they must have

Mr.. Fry returned yesterday from a
weeks vacation. He is in excellent
health and volunteered the information
that he never felt better in his life. There
is more truth than poetry in the report
that the Collector may retire at the end
of the year as a member Of Mayor Fa-
gan's official family. The office is not
as tempting as it was when he received
the fees as well as the $1,000 year
salary There are great responsibilities
attached to the office Of City Collector
and Mr.. Fry, his friends say, can earn
more at his business than he receives IL
salary for collecting Jersey City's taxes.

Mr.. Bryan's Goat.

Last year William Jennings
Bryan visited Cornell University.
While being entertained at dinner
by prominent legal fraternity, he
told the following story on himself:
Once out in Nebraska 1 went
TO protest against my real estate
assessment, and one of the things
of which particularly complained
was assessing a goat at twenty-five
dollars. l claimed that a goat was
not real property i'll the legal
sense of the word and should not
be assessed. One of the assessors,
a vely pleasant-faced old man,
very obligingly said that l could
go upstairs with him and together
we would look over the rules and
regulations and see what could be
done.
1--WE looked over the rules and
finally the old man asked: Does
your goat run loose on the road?'
Well sometimes, said L,
wondering what the penalty was
for that dreadful offense.
Does he butt?' again queried
the old man.
" Yes, I answered, he butts
" Well, said the old man, look
ing at me, this rule says, tax all
that certain property running and
abutting on the highway. 1 dom
see that 1 can do anything for you.
Good day, sir. "-Oprortunity.

Truthful Preachers.

A preacher once said: Editors
dare not tell the truth. If you
did you could not live; your news
paper would be failure. "
The editor replied: You are
right, and the minister who at all
times tells the truth about his
members, alive or dead, will not
occupy the pulpit more than one
Sunday, and he will find it neces-
sary to leave town in a hurry
The press and the pulpit go hard
i'll hand with the whitewash brush
and kind words, maguifying little
virtues into big ones. The press,
pulpit and gravestones are the the
great saint makers. "
And the minister went away
looking very thoughtful, while the
editor turned to his work, telling
about the surprising beauty of the
bride, while in fact she was as
ugly as a mud fence Burleson
