But at the Seattle fair. for the first
time, there will be on view an extraor-
binary race, natives from the arctic
shore of Siberia. They are called Es-
llimo because of their similarity in
costume and habits to the natives of
the most northern part of America,
but they belong to an entirely differ
eAt race.
Thirty-four of these natives will
show visitors to the exposition their
manner of life. They were recruited
from three diff, ent villages, and, al
though all lived within radius of $50
miles, the inhabitants of one village
speak a language almost unintelligible
to the inhabitants of the others.
Three tribes are represented by
these "a Indians. Two are known as
Sealmen and the other as Deermen.
The Sealmen come from the coast and
live on seals. while the Deermen come
from the interior and live chiefly on
venison.
Capt, A. NJ Baber, an arctic trader,
who possesses the confidence of the
natives, is the man who persuaded
these Indians to leave their homes He
was assisted by w P. Bissner, who
is conversant with the various Siber.

HOW RELIGION IS
TAUGHT WHERE IT
IS z BELOW ZERO
Archbishop Struck, of Alaska,
Describes Conditions to
East Orange Audience.

The large crowd in attendance last
night at the Woman's Club house. East
Orange, learned how religion is taught
in a cline where it is often 70 degrees
below zero.
The lecture was delivered by Arch
bishop Struck, Of Alaska, and he ex-
hibited several fine views.
On the inside passage to Alaska there
is a large wreck and an enterprising
%hiskey dealer painted a sign advising
the drinking of a certain brand. Some
n else saw humor in the situation and
painted nearby the declaration Il did.
This warning against drink led the
speaker to describe the dance halls. ga
looms and gambling dens in Alaska.
All the religious work. he said, has to
be done in three months. In Fairbanks
there is a little wooden church owned
by the mission where the lights are
never extinguished. On Sunday it Is
used only as a church, but during the
week the benches are set aside and the
sturdy miners use it as a clubroom.
Fun coats are not worn so extensively
in Alaska, and the archbishop said he
saw mere fur coats i'm New York during
the past winter than he had all the
time he was in Alaska.

MURRAY Is SLATED FOR
EAST NEWARK FIRE HEAD
First Assistant Will Likely Be
Chosen Chief at Coming
Annual Election.

The annual election for fire chief in
East Newark will take place Tuesday,
May IL. and present indications point
to the election to that office of Thomas
j. Murray, at present first assistant
chief. Murray is a member of Sherman
Truck Company No. /, and is popular
among the members of the department.
Charles Anderson is the present chief
and is serving his second term, being
a member of Defender Hose Company.
The practise among the members of
the department in selecting the chief
has been to select them alternately
from the hose truck companies, and
therefore Murray is in line for promo
ton, as it. is the turn of the truck COM
pany
There is a possibility of the Borough
Council making the appointment this
time, but it is thought that the firemen
will as usual select their chief in open
meeting and END in their choice to the
Council iLr confirmation.

BEHIND RUNAWAYS
Peter Miller, of Upper MOntclair,

A team of gray horses belonging to
Robert r. Breeze. of Montclair Heights.

drivers seat. It is no known what
frightened the animals. but. without a
moments notice, they bolted and
turned into Watching avenue. Down

at that point. the runaway went at a
terrific rate. the vehicle swaying from
one side of the street 20 the other and
Miller pulling with all his might on the
reins in an effort to slacken their
speed.
AS the runaways neared Valley road
a trolley. car of that line was crossing
Watching e Miller saw at once
that il he kept straight IN he would
run into the car, with it's load of pas
sengers. Pulling with all his might on
the nigh rein. he succeeded in turning
the team north on Valley road. but the
turn was too short at the corner. Miller
was thrown out on the road. and the
shock broke the harness, releasing the
horses from the vehicle.
Miller was on his feet Immediately,
although badly bruised and bleeding,
and ran after his team, which came to
a halt a short distance from the scene

WOMEN URGED TO
UNITE IN WORKING
FOR ORANGE POOR
Bureau of Associated Charities
Men Point Out Results of
Joint Efforts.

Local Charities was the subject
considered at the monthly meeting of
the Woman's Guild of the Central Pres
byterian Church, Orange, yesterday
afternoon. James B. Williams, general
secretary of the Orange Bureau of
Associated Charities, spoke upon Co
operation of Church Organizations in
the Work of the Bureau" dealing with
united effort rather than duplication of
work. In several instances cases were
related in which the cooperation of the
Woman's Guild with the bureau had
resulted in definite good, and which had
led to the individual self-support of the
family.
Agent A. w. Abbott, of the Children's
Aid and Protective Society Of the Or.
anges, briefly detailed specific instances
of cooperation given the society by kim
drod charitable organizations and
church societies and alluded to the fact
that The most beneficial cooperation in
securing permanent results in a family.
was by compelling the husband and
father, as the hread-winner, to see his
duty properly by supporting his am
lily adequately and not to leave their
support on the community.
Mr.. Abbott said that since November
is, 1907. the beginning of the present
fiscal year of the society. he had col
lected 81. $685. 5 from parents in the Or
anges for the support of their children.
The pastor of the church, the Rev.
DR.. John Fulton Patterson, presided,
and in the name of the guild, stated
that his experience in the Oranges had
taught him of the practical worth of
the bureau and chilaren's society IN the
community and gave instances where
both organizations had been of lasting
benefit in the work of his church.
Mrs. Littell, of East Orange, sang "In
Heavenly Love Abiding" and I'm the
Lane of Beulah.' Refreshments were
served under the auspices of the social
committee, of which Mrs. J. NJ. Wake
ina is president.

duction. the funeral arrangements of
her father. James II. Lackey, the ex-
empt ireIna of Belleville, who met
his death suddenly early yesterday
morning during a quarrel in North
Cortland street, Belleville, are unde-
oided. It. is thought that Mrs. Neary
will arrive in Belleville Sunday night.
The funeral services will probably be
held Sunday afternoon and private in
terment made Monday.
Former State Senator Michael L.
Barrett has beer retained to act in con-
junction with Township Counsel An
drew l.. BoylaI, of Belleville, as coln-
sci for Do:ninick A. Walsh, who is held
in $4,000 bail for the action of the Grand
Jury On a charge of causing the death
of Lackey. Walsh was released ate
yesterday afternoon on bonds furnished
by Joseph NJ. Byrne, the wel1-known
broker and insurance man of his city.
1t is the general belief in Belleville
that Walsh will be exonerated of all
blame in connection with the mans
death. The BELIEF is founded on the
statements of his four companions,
none of whom will say that Walsh
struck Lackey. This is contrary TO a
signed statement which Mrs. Annie
Coellin gave to Detective Sergeant God
frey, of the prosecutors staff, in which
she distinctly stated that she saw
Walsh hit the man.
OF Walsh's companions, however,
Mccullough was the only one to say
that he saw a blow aimed by Walsh
at Lackey. This blow. he said in his
signed statement. never landed on
Lackey. as he got between the men.
Walsh's companions were examined
separately, o of them hearing the
others testimony. OF the others, Mar
shall said he saw 10 blows at all, and
Wolfram saw only Walsh swinging his
arms.
County Physician Elliott gave 1t as
his opinion today that Lackey came to
his death by a fall.
