SHORTHAND AS PATH
TO BIBLE FOR INDIANS

New York, March 19.-In the Cana
dian northwest, along the banks Of the
Thompson and Frazer rivers, dwell sew
eral scattered tribes of Indians. 10
them, some time ago, came Father Lee
jeune, Brittany, priest. He found his
efforts to christianize the tribesmen
hampered by the ignorance of the In
dams, who COULD not read the Bible.
The solution of the problem took the
remarkable form of determination to
teach the Indians shorthand. He took
first few Of the most intelligent men
of the/tribe, and with>considerable diff
iculty made of them passable short
hand scholars Then he sent them among
the other tribesmeA to impart to them
the knowledge they had acquired. To-
day there scarcely is an Indian in that
district who cannot read and write.
At heschurch, in which the Indians
assemble in such numbers that the build
ing is rarely able to hold them all, their
books are in shorthand.
The news Of his great success tray
eled far and at last was carried to the
Vatican, where it greatly impressed the
pope. Orders were given for the mint
ing Of thousand medals, and these
have been sent to Father Lejeune, with
instructions to present medal to each
Of the Indians making unusual prog

Officers TeW and Denmark had
quite an exciting experience this
morning about s O'clock, about the
time Of the heavy rain, with a negro
by the name Of Gussie Washington.
Washington, Who was wanted by the
police for selling whiskey, and who
ran away to avoid arrest, returned
home yesterday, and the first thing
he did Vas to give his wife a severe
thrashing. This was reported to the
police and the above named officers
went to his home for the purpose OF
capturing him. Officer Denmark
went inside while officer TeW stood
guard on the outside. There is a
wall some IL feet high nearly all
around the house and when officer
Denmark went inside, officer Tew,
who was peeping through a crack,
saw the negro crawl out of the win
dow in his night clothes, pull down
the curtain behind him and take a
seat on the window sill. After search
ing the house officer Denmark came
out and the negro crawled under the
house. The two policemen closed in
on him and he made his way out on
the opposite side, in the pouring
down rain, in his night clothes, and
made a break to run with both police
men in hot pursuit. Washington
ran to a fence and was climbing over
when officer Tew grabbed him by
the heel and dragged him back. He
was allowed to go home and dress
and was taken to the city hall and
locked up. Both policemen were
wet as drowned rats.
