women are from 10 to % or 80. Yet
in spite nt that fact at the time |
speak of no fewer than ten out Of
every hundred Of the years brides
were widows. What Is the number
nowo Just six. The widow Of 1906
is only half as popular as the widow
of 1876.
but it must not be supposed that
the widow has dropped entirely out
Of fashion. Nothing Of the kind.
She is gradually losing her supreme
position, but she still has a decided
advantage over the woman who has
never married-and this at all ages.
"The young widow is preferred to
the young maiden, and the middle
aged and elderly widows have it all
their own way.
II must give You figures again. for
there is no other way Of making q
true comparison.
"Up to the age of 20 there are
practically no widows. Just a few.
In every thousand girls aged from Is
to 20 there are 965 unmarried. and 50
all the brides Of this age with the
exception Of two more spinsters. At
20 the widow begins to appear in
force. From this age to 25 there is
one widow in the population to each
1868 unmarried women. She is lost
among the crowd, one would think,
and yet she goes off faster than the
spinster.
"We are dealing with the year be-
fore last, the latest year about which
the registrar general 2ives his ac-
count. In this year no fewer than
l2S.000 maidcns in their twentieth to
twenty-fifth year married. 1t is the
greatest marrying age.
"There were only 393 widow brides,
but considering the small number #
widows Of this age in the country
they were more favored by the
bridegrooms than were the spinsters.
If the spinsters were as popular as
the widows G,000 more Of them would
b.,-o oot ,,oo,,;oJ
':Curiouslv. while the bachelor
shows a preference for the young
widow the widower apparently likes
the spinster best,'' said my infor-
mant, who proceeded to supply fl
cures which showed that from the
age Of 25 to the age Of IS widows
continue to have better chances Of
marriage, although, as has been
shown, these chances are lessening
every year.
At 25, Of c)ursc, the: are still in Il
minorii: !: 10 fen"e -.rulation
Of 1000 women aged 25 to IS years
there are $40 spinsters and only sew
enteen widows; all the rest are mar
ried. Now, in the year before last
there were 91,300 spinster brides Of
this age, 4,3O0 widow brides. I omit
the odd numbers. But if the men lik-
ed spinsters as we'll as widows these
figures show they would have mar
ried $4,000 Of them.
It is quite clear that. although the
widow is fighting a losing battle
against the spinster, she is not yet
routed. But it is a curious fact that
while the bachelor always prefers the
widow when he can get her, the wild
over prefers the spinster, up to
certain age.

THE DUTY OF NEWSPAPERS.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Such appreciation as that which
follows, from The Dawson (Ga.)
News is gratifying to the Constitu-
ton, since it is only human to enjoy
commentator for performing what
is obviously but plain duty:
The Constitution is printing
the news and comments of the
campaign impartially, and giving
both sides a square deal.
If The Constitution did not print
the news and comments of the cam
paign impartially, and if it has fail
ed to give both sides a square deal
it would cease to be a newspaper and
degenerate into-an organ.
And the day of the newspaper or
gan" is passing! The title is too sug-
gestive of perverted news and views,
of political intimidation, of the dark
ages.
The day of Independent, individ-
ual thought and action in politics has
come to stay.
Purity in administration, the very
existence of government by the peo-
pie are dependent thereon.
The voters are the government,
the jury, in the last analysis. They
are entitled to know all the facts in
the case, absolutely free of bias or
coloring.
The court that would direct or ask
jury to make up its verdict from
the testimony of only one of the par
, ties litigant would be obliterated in
a day.
The function of a newspaper to-
ward the public is no less exact and
sacred.

INDIANS BID FAREWELL
TO HUNTING GROUNDS

Il and the squaws formed circle about
them. At points between the fires
the chiefs took positions, each deck
ed in the war paint and head feath-
ers of the old days, their principal
dress being breech clouts and war
clubs
Younger squaws and girls, with
the old-fashioned pestle and mortar,
ground the grain which had been
charmed by the medicine men. The
chanting of the squaws had contin-
ued about twenty minutes when
Chief Tomanawas arose from
crouching position in the centre of
the big circle and, giving a shout
which echoed along the hills, COM
manded all the tribes people assem-
bled to harken to the last voice of the
warriors which. would ever be heard
in the Columbia river valley.
At the close of his address, which
was largely of historical character,
the veteran chieftain squatted on the
ground, and the Indians Joined the
chant of the aged squaw, who during
the early part of the ceremony and
the chiefs big talk Frustrated her
self, squirming and wriggling to free
herself from the bands which bound
her and others of the tribe to this
part of the river lands. When all
was quiet the squaw uttered terri
flying scream and swooned, striking
the ground with force.
At midnight, when the moon had
reached the point in the sky for
which the farewell had been timed,
the fires on the river bank were
smothered, canoes were pushed into
the water, the aged squaw was plac-
ed on a rudely built litter and showed
into one of the skiffs, and with blan-
kets around their heads and shout
ders Chief Tomanawas and the In
dams took their places in their craft.
At a signal from their chieftain the
canoes were padded out in the swift
waters of the Columbia river, and
the passing of the red man from the
valley became matter of history.

BIG PLANT AT PRETORIA VICTIM
OF BUSINESS DEPRESSION.
Four Hundred People Thrown Out
of Employment, and Payroll of
$4,000 Month Stopped.


An Albany dispatch announces
that the big mills of the Red Cypress
Lumber Company at Pretoria, in
Dougherty county, are being closed
down, and the affairs of this $400,-
900 concern are to be liquidated.
Already the big new pine mill, re-
Gently built to take the place of one
which was burned, has been shut
down, and the much larger cypress
mill will close down at once.
The closing down of these big mills
and the consequent abandonment of
the prosperous little town of Pretoria
is an event of more than local inter
est. 1t means that over four hundred
employees, many of whom have COM
manded high salaries, will be thrown
out of employment. Many of these
have alread left, and the remainder
ARE preparing to do so. 1t also means
that a monthly payroll of between
$11, 900 and $4,000 will suddenly
cease to be paid in that community
1t is learned that a committee of
stockholders has been appointed to
liquidate the cOmpany's affairs, and
that this committee will carry out it's
instructions as rapidly as possible.
The closing down of the mills is the
first step in this direction, and the
selling of the company's machinery
and other equipment, it is stated,
will follow in due course, as pur-
chasers can be secured.
Mayor George Tiedeman of Savan-
nah, who is an officer and one of the
principal stockholders of the compa-
ny, says that the officers of the COM
pany were running the concern for
banks, who really owned it, the COM
pany having been involved in the
Plant bankruptcy at Macon, going in
to the hands of receiver at that
time. The banks who held the pa
per of the company arranged with
the courts to take the company out
of the hands of the receiver and run
it. Those at present in charge of the
affairs of the company determined,
on account of the dull times in the
lumber trade, to close the business.
Mr.. Tiedeman says they did not de-
sire to run the company another six
months while eating its head off.

Spokane, W ASH, ApI4l Ii'~ShiNA
Tomanawas and his tribe of SiWashes
have said their farewells and taken
formal leave of their favorite hunt
ing and fishing grounds on the Co
lumbia river near what is to be the
town of White Bluffs, in Douglass
county, southwest of Spokane. The
final pow-wow and pot-latch took
place at night recently, and was fol
lowed by the tribal salute to the
coming of the white race, occasioned
by the building of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railway through
Washington.
Graceful in his gestures and elo-
quent in tongue Tomanawas deliver
ed the farewell grafton, holding his
people literally spell-bound for
quarter of an hour while he glorified
their deeds of valor, told of their
struggles against the white man who
sought to invade the rich valley
where he and his tribesmen and their
forefathers held sway many years.
The ceremonials were witnessed by
a number of Yakima Indians, at one
time the bitterest foes of the depart
ing tribe, also by a large cOncourse
of settlers, whose invasion of the val
lev is responsible for the driving out
of the red men from thet part of the
northwest. The powwow was the
second of it's kind in the history of
the state of Washington, the first
taking place in the Yakima valley
shortly after Washington was admit
ted as a state.
The farewell was preceded oy
three days of dancing, during which
the chief and head men visited the
old stamping ground which marked
the scenes of their victories in bat
ties in Yakima Indian wars. This
was followed by twelve hours of fast
ing, during which the squaws and
girls prepared the camp for the final
leave-taking, Tomanawas imperson-
ating the war gods saluted the com
ing of the white race.
At dusk the heads of the bands
visited the tribal burial grounds, re-
ouesting the newcomers to permit
the remains of their departed broth
ers to rest undisturbed. This riteAI
being carried out with much pomp
and ceremony, the Indians all assem-
bled at the waters edge, where small
fires had been started, and the flames
smothered.
When the moon appeared at a GER
tain point in the sky the squaws be-
gan a death chant, which was weird
and wild in the extreme, their voices
mingling with the bowling OF the
COYOTES, bands of which were gather
ed at the outskirts of the camp, at
tracted there by the odors of the
cooking meats.

was dead in Glasgow, and had left

the money was real, the clowns face
