PRIESTS FIND THE BONES
OF VICTIMS OF INDIANS

WINNIPEG August 15.-It became
known today that the skeletons Of Jean
Baptiste de La Verandrye and Father
Aulereau, Jesuit missionary, and the
skulls of nineteen French-Canadian
voyagers. all of whom were killed by
Sioux Indians on an island in the north
west angle of the Lake of the Woods
in June. 1876. were discovered last week
by party of priests Of ST. Boniface Col
lege Of Winnipeg. accompanied by Judge
Prudhomme. The St. Boniface party also
found the site of Fort st. Charles. built
in 1872 by the great explorer. Sieur de La
Verandrye. at the northwest angle Of the
Lake of the Woods.
Jean Baptiste de La Verandrye was
twenty years old at the time of the mas
sacre. He was the son of La Verandrye
the explorer. The memory Of the victims
of the Indians has been solemnly pre-
served by the Roman Catholic Church and
numerous unsuccessful attempts had pre-
viously been made to identify the scene OF
the massacre and to recover the bones of
the victims.

POPE BESTOWS BLESSING ON
APOSTOLIC MISSION HOUSE.

pressed some wonderment and his eye
brows were raised in establishment that
any other way should ever have been fol-
lowed 1t all seemed to him the most
natural way in the world. 1t is just the
way that a kindly old man like himself
would gather crowds about him and per-
suade them of the truth of what he be-
lieves.
When he was told of the results of the
non-CathOlic mission movement how
widespread it had become. how every
religious order was cooperating In 1t,
and how bishops. priests and laity. per
suaded Of the great opportunity before the
church, were stirring to do the best 10
make the most of it, tears of gratitude
to God filled his eyes and an exclamation
of JOY burst from his lips.
He then, stretching forth his hands,

work, and he invoked a special blessing
on all the priests and laity who did what
movement that held forth such hope for
the holy faith in Aperica.
1T is undoubtedly among the great con-

related. He looked upon the restoration
as an act of faith in God by the American
people, 1t was to him most undoubted evil

hoped that very soon that act of faith
would become explicit in regard to all
the doctrines of the church and as a
token of this act of faith would treasure

day when these hopes were realized the

has seen the financial backing fade. The
project is that of the British South At

Salvation Army, and the lack of fresh
capital has prevented the furnishing Of
the money for even an experimental I'M

The full scheme submitted to the COM

ultimate settlement of large area of
land, several millions of acres in extent,
and involved the raising of a large
amount of capital for the financing and

This motor tour was the wonder of all
who participated in it, for when others
were fatigued to the point of quitting
Gen. Booth appeared to be taking on
new energy and to be ready to force his
way to the limit of the program ar
ranged for the day. 1t was grand
climax to the forty-thrd year of the
Salvation Army's work, and when he en-
tered the Crystal Palace to face the vast
audience gathered there for the anniver-
sary celebration, still standing in his mo-
tor car. which was pushed down the aisle
to the stage. he looked the patriarch and
prophet that he surely is.
Just as the white-bearded old man
reached the platform Bramwell Booth

the veterans neck and kissed him again
and again. to the hysterical plaudits of
the thousands looking on. The waving
of thousands of flags and the bray of
trumpets made riot of color and sound

tour he had spoken eighty-five times in
five weeks. besides making snort address
es at twenty-five wayside gatherings He
had Travelled 1900 miles wholly by mo-
tor car and attended forty-five civic re-
ceptions in addition to his own meetings
and had spoken to no less than 800, 900
persons, yet in this Crystal Palace gath
ering he had reached the elimination of
all. for he had come to deliver what
might be his farewell to his own people.

night. When he arrived there, by
that time weak for the want of food,
he inquired if there was any lunch
left. He was told that there was,

who politely offered him a dish of
rabbit. Almost maddened, he fled in
hot haste from the room, and never

An old blind man, with squeaky
organ, reaped harvest of pennies,
nickles and quarters on the corner Of
Main and st. Clair, Saturday last,
and received in the way Of donations
during the day at least twenty-five
or thirty dollars. The city authori-

more cases of blindness among

Many people are still complaining
of the practice INDUCED in, by boys
and girls, of skating on the pave

has almost become menace to the
pedestrians ON a majority of the
streets. Those who are not very spry
have considerable difficulty in avoid

should the nuisance not be abated
by the authorities, there is danger OF
serious accidents resulting.

"A rabbit story, which, however, had
no connection with sports afield, was
related by a prominent and popular
local man to a number of companions
on Thursday evening. He went on
to say that he had eaten rabbit so
often this fall and winter, that the
dish palled on him to a marked ex-
tent, and he had grown thoroughly
tired of It, When he met his wife
ON the street one day recently and
she told him to be sure and come
home early for supper, he fondly i'm
agined she had something out of the
ordinary in the way of edibles. Lady
Greygown met him at the gate, when
he arrived at his cottage, and ex-
claiming in her sweetest accents,
"Oh, John, I'm so glad you have come
on time; have bought some real
fresh rabbits from a country man,
and I'm sure they're ever SO good"
He made the best of bad bargain,
but left the mahogany in a half-fam-
ished condition. His wife then re-
quested that he accompany her to
her mothers, and although he had a
pressing engagement to shake" the
box for the drinks with number Of
friends in a st. Clair street resort,
he smothered his disappointment and
went. Arriving there his mother-in-
law insisted that they should partake
of some delicious lunch which she
had prepared. He gladly acquiesced
in the arrangement, but when they
were seated at the table, what was
his horror and dismay to discover
that rabbit was the delicious" lunch
referred to. His appetite again de-
serted him, and after taking his wife
home, he repaired TO his lodge, where
