them was the bone to be treated so large
FIVE weeks ago the operation was per-
formed. An incsion nine inches long
was made in the leg barring the bone. The
sheep was brought alive into the operat-
ing room, and while it was still living
marrow was extracted from its bone and
sldllfully inserted into the hollow bone

were the prime requisites. The bone
was filled with marrow, the wound closed
and the sheep put out of its suffering

Monks condition was watched with great
concern for two weeks at the end of
which time 1t was seen that he was i'm

the pain had greatly lessened.
Monk is now walking about his room,
and the physicians are confident that
he will never have any more trouble with
his leg. They are positive that the mar

bone, and that a healthy condition now
exists. Monk expects to leave the hospital
and resume his business in a week or

as will keep them from getting home
sick, and at the same time not prove so
interesting as to lead them into the fields
of matrimony To this end, these serv-
ants are sending back to Germany and
France for the purpose of bringing over
other servant girls among thsir relations
and friends.
The Wittekind, after taking on big
cargo of cotton, will return to Bremen,
and then will once more return 10
Charleston, bringing other immigrants
mill workers and others, and more Ger
man and French sewing maids. L is cx-
pected that the Wittekind will bring this
next boatload of passengers and land
them in Charleston some time in Decem-
Der. In the meantime, Commissioner Wal
son is securing all kinds of orders to IN
duce more of these servants who have
proved such a success to the south. and
it is certain that with the ships arrival
there will be another scramble on the part
of anxious husbands with u much larger
delegation from Atlanta, as the renown
of the maids who have come here is
spreading throughout the city ard state.
1t will be remembered that some time
ago movement was started for the i'm
portation of a number of white servant
girls from Chicago. This proposition fell
through because OF the fact that the de-
mand for servants in Chicago is pretty
much the same as in Atlanta, If not more
so. But at best, these servant girls would
have come here with all of the high and
mighty airs of a long service in this
country, and, according to housewives,
would have demanded reception room
privileges, the returning of the piano, and
ali of those requirements which are only
funny when presented in the humorous
periodicals.
But by this new plan the girls brought
here know nothing of the independence
practiced among servants, equal suffrage
and all that sort of thing, which Is
neither popular nor considered good form
in the old world. While it is true that
they are unable to speak the English
language, this is soon overcome as they
are anxious to learn. 1t Is also believed
that their coming will have good in
f1uence ON the colored servants
Altogether. the arrival of the "
kind and the fact that 1t is going to
continue in its present service has
marked a new and brighter epocn I'm the
home history of the south, according to
those housewives and mistresses who are
in the best position to know about such
matters.

INDIAN WHO is A PRIEST.

From the Topeka Capital
To be the first full blood Indian to be-
come Roman Catholic priest is the I'M
usual distinction of the Rev. Father AL
bert Negahnquet of Kansas, now conduct
ing religious labors among his fellow race
men in Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
So far as now known Father Negahnquet
is the only living Roman Catholic priest
who is a full-blood Indian.
Father Negahnquet was born on the
Pottawahomie Reservation near st. Ma
RVS, this state, in 1877. Soon afterward
he was brought to Topeka by his parents,
and in the Church of the Assumption here
he was baptized. He was the youngest
of a family of ten children.
His parents and members of the family
removed to Pottawatomie county, Oklaho-
ma, where there are now many members
of that tribe. In the southern part Of
that county the Catholics in an early day
established a great community-a monas-
terry, schools, and the like The missiona-

the school. He was an interesting child,
readily tractable. and he applied himself
to his studies. Mother Katherine Drexel,
daughter of the millionaire Drexel of Phil
adelphia, on the occasion of one of her pc
riodical visits, took notice of this particu-
lar little Indian boy. She never forgot
him, and when he became old enough she
sent him to the large Indian school at
Carlisle, Pa Later he was transferred TO
the Catholic college at Washington, d. c.,
with the purpose in view of educating
him for the priesthood
He was the honor man at Washington,

When 1t became known that these were
on the Wittekind some several days be-
fore its arrival in port, several prominent
men from Charleston and Savannah, At
lanta and other Georgia cities went to
the port at the time of the ships coming
into port. An attempt was made by these
to board the ship for the purpose OF
selecting maids from among those pres
ent. But this privilege was denied. But
no sooner had these pretty, strong and in
telligent-looking servants stepped from the
gangway than a rush was made by these
servant seekers in way that brought
the bushes to the cheeks of the new ar
rivals, according to the story told by an
eyewitness.
At first this mao rush on the part OF
strong men to solve the cry of the
kitchen and the cause of nervous head
aches and utter prostration on the part
of their wives battling with the present
conditions rather startled the German
and French girls. 1t looked very much
as il an attempt was being made to cap
ture them, and for what purpose those
most concerned did not know But sew
eral of the interpreters present mined
lately explained that they We're men mere
ly seeking servants for the purpose of
keeping their homes in order, waiting
upon their wives and caring for their
children.
There were not nearly enough maids
to 90 around and as this was evident.
the mad rush was precipitated with the
landing of the passengers. When the
amount of wages asked for was put by
the Interpreter there came a long ST.
lence on the part of the new arrivals.
Finally one asked the interpreter If he
thought 81 a week would be too much.
This announcement, according to the eye
witnesses, only had the effect of further
exciting the servant seekers. Not only
did they offer 81 but they raised the
bid until it seemed little less than an
auction, and, except for the fact that
there were no matrimonial entanglements.
the scene was compared to scenes of three
centuries ago. when the coloney was
very young, maids were brought over
and sold to the Virginia settlements on
the James river at SO many pounds OF
tobacco. All of which is most thrillingly
