WORK Of FATHER R|CKL|N'
TEACHING SAVAGE COMANCHES
THE ART OF PEACE.
Adopted as a Member of the Tribe.
Trying to Raise Funds to Re-
build Burned School.

PHILADELPHIA. July 9.-After an
experience of more than twenty years
among the Comanche Indians, the most
savage in their day Of the southwestern
tribes. Rev. Isadore Ricklin of the Bene-
dictine Missionary Order is in this city
to raise funds for the rebuilding Of the
Indian training school at Anada rgo,
Okla, destroyed by fire last September.
Adopted by the Tribe.
To Father Ricklin belongs the distinc-
ton of being the irst white admitted to
a permanent residence on the Comanche
reservation.
1t was only after a council among the
chiefs that Father Ricklin was permitted
to begin his work of teaching the Indians
to be farmers and also the rudiments of
an education. and this was only with
the proviso he should become a member
of the tribe and wear the costume OF a
subchief which he did.
Gradually the Indians began to appre-
ciate his zeal as a missionary and his
dligent efforts for their uolift, and he
was allowed to widen the scope of his
labors. with the result that more than
500 of the $500 on The reservation now
cultivate their own farms, while their
children are the sincerest OF Christians.
Father Ricklin Hopeful.
"Of course" said Father Rickiin, in
speaking Of the destruction of the
schools. mission building and teachers
house. I'VE will be hampered for time
but with the efforts / am making and
the assistance 1 am given 1 believe these
structures will be rebuilt. Our task has
been a hard one, taking years of per-
sistent and often effort attended with
much danger, for the Comanche were
the most savage Of Indians.
Il studied their hal bits, customs and
usages and for two years l lived right
with them until l learned the Co.
manche tongue. 1t was difficult task,
but l concluded that II 1 were to be Sue
cessful in teaching them and their chill

be spoken to them. Indeed. when 1 first

ferocious Of pagans, without any religion
excepting their own peculiar belief. Those
Of them who are yet uncivilized follow

ing about at their will over territory
larger than many of our states and which
contains prolific fishing streams. rivers

NEW YORK, July 8.-Mrs. Helen
Gould and Ralph Hill Thomas obtained a
marriage license at the city hall yester-
day afternoon. 1t was not known yet
whether they had been married.
They had dinner at the Hotel Knicker-
booker last night, and left that hotel a
little after 10 o'clock, going away In an
automobile and taking no one into their
confidence as to their destination.
1t was impossible to learn whether
they were bound for the home Of a min
lister or whether they had been there and
were starting for the country place Of
Mrs. Gould, at Port Washington.
Secrecy Has Been Maintained.
The obtaining of the marriage license
was conducted with the same secrecy that
has marked the actions Of the couple in
their efforts to keep from the public the
details of their marriage. Everything
that could be done was arrange in adj
vance. and some one, whose identity has
not been revealed. went to the city clerks
Office and obtained the necessary blanks.
which were filled out to the last detail.
All Mrs. Gould and Mr.. Thomas had to
do were to go before the clerk, raise their
right hands and swear that the state-
ments contained in the paper they had
signed were true. When Mr.. Thomas
raised his hand to take this oath he
held in 1t the dollar bill he had TO pay for
the license. Following the usual custom,
they were asked II they cared to set
down the date of their wedding. Mr..
Thomas said the date had not been set.
Change Of Address.
Mrs. Gould's address as first written
down was Port Washington. This was
crossed out and No. $40 Park avenue,
Manhattan, substituted. The law provides
that in cases of this kind the license shall
be issued in the county where the bride
has her residence.
Mrs. Gould said she was born in New
York, was twenty-six years of age, the
daughter Of Edward Kelly and Helen
Pearsall and that she had obtained d.
vorce, this being her second marriage.
Mr.. Thomas said he was twenty-eight
years old and gave his address at No. 763
9Th avenue. In the space for occupation
he had written that he was in the sugar
business.
He was born in Boston. the SON of Jo-
seph B. Thomas and Annie n. Hill. This
Is his first marriage.
After they had obtained their license
they went by automobile to the home OF
Mrs. Gould, at Port Washington. 1t could
not be learned whether they were married
on this trip to Long Island.
They did not remain there long and re-
turned to the city, going to the Hotel
Knickerbocker for dinner.

NEW YORK, July 9.-In the alb
