Moving Pictures Great Civilizcr.

Papeete. Tahati. May (Delayed)
The greater number Of the films
displayed at the only picture house
here are Of American manufacture,
and. as the explanations are in Eng
lish, it is necessary to interpret the
story as the picture proceeds. The
one who performs this office is a
young man of French descent who
was born in the islands; is a master
Of the Tahitian language; and is en-
dowed with the gift Of eloquence-a
veritablc William Jennings Bryan Of
the South Seas.
Standing in the centre of the gal
lery. he plays upon his audience as a
master musician upon his instru-
ment; rousing them to laughter,
plunging them into despair and tears
and inspiring them to roof-shaking
cheers as the emotions Of the pictured
actors ebb and flow.
The moving pictures have had a
great influence in changing the life
Of the islands They have brought
knowledge to the natives Of the man
ners and customs Of other lands and
have changed the Tahitians view
point from that of an isolated island
er to the broad sapience Of one who
has travelled in many countries. He
has seen pictured on the screen all
the achievements of the white man:
has viewed his famous cities: been
instructed in his vanities and there
fore no longer considers himself pro-
vincial.
It is something of shock to the
average visitor who. believing the
hectic tales told in books. expects to
find horde Of naked savages. is met
instead by the spectacle of brown
women in Paris gowns, picture hats
and high heeled shoes.

Death OF a Notable Iudian.

Pierre. S. D.. June 14.--Il. the re-
cent death Of Chief Iron tightening
at his home near Thunder Butte in
the northwestern part Of the Chey-
enne Indian reservation. the country
lost probably the greatest Of the few
remaining famous Indian characters
who figured in the early history OF
Dakota Territory.
Iron Tightening was one Of the
sub-chiefe. who under Sitting Bull.
participated in the memorable battle
of the Little Big Horn. June %. 1875,
when Custer and his band Of rs l.
men were annihilated. He is said to
be the last Of the chiefs who were
in control Of the Sioux :tation at that
time. He was 76 years old at the
time Of his death and has for years
made his home in the vicinity Of
Thunder Butte station.
Unusually tall and we'll proportion
cd even for an Indian. and possess
ing a voice which commanded atten-
ton and obedience although it knew
no word Of English. Iron Tightening
was a natural leader Of men. In the
early part of this century following
the Ute Indian uprising, when the
Ltes had been rounded up and sent
to the Cheyenne reservation. it was
Iron Tightening who went among
them urging them to forget their
grievance with the whites and settle
down to peaceful lives.
He was the last Indian. 80 far as is
known to have continued to live with
two wives after the order prohibit
ing polygamy and further polySamous
marriages among the Indians was
made. Iron Tightening was called to
the Thunder Eutte station when this
order was received and told he must
choose between the two women with
whom he was living.
"Jf the Commissioner has liked
with one woman the chief replied
in Indian, "he Will know how impos-
sibIe it is for Iron Tightening to sep
arate himself from two. Iron Light

This speech won for him his case
and the two wives were retained.
They lived together in harmony. one

as an honor. for one week when the

Crisis in Cuban Tobacco Industry.

Havana, May a1-CuDan tobacco
planters say that the suspension By
Great Britain OF its extra 80 per cent
tax on tobacco imports will give
little help in the present crisis faced
by the Cuban tobacco industry.
In a recent meeting Of planters 1t
was stated that the British dealers
had stocked up heavily and would re-
quire little tooacco for some time The
planters also stated that their efforts
to induce the tobacco workers feder-
ations to accept reduced wage scales
so that Cuban tobacco could be put
on tn" market at reduced prices had
resulted in so slight a reduction of
wages il was considered useless.

Complaint Against Short Measures

N,Ompl31nt Against sr1lOIt thcGSuTeS.
There is a matter to which I wish
to call the attention of the house
wives Of Sumter. 1t is in reference
to the system of measurements to
which we arc subjected. The ven-
ders come around to sell their pro-
ducts. berries. beans Or whatever they
have 10 SELL They bring cans. buck
cts and cups in which to measure the
merchandise. These people become
highly insulted and insulting, If a
quart measure which is legal dry
measure. is produced and usually re-
fuse to sell at all. if the legal meas
ure is insisted upon. Will not tho
housewives of Sumter provide them
selves with legal dry measures and
refuse to take for a quart, a little can
full of produce which is usually short
at least teacup full. and amounts
to quite a loss in q few weeks. These
vendcrs charge outrageous prices and
then persistcntly cheat in the meas
urements by using cups. cans and
buckets which are always short.
Even a quart measure for liquids is
Incorrect for il does not hold as much
as dry measure.
Will the housewives unite to put
down this outrageous practice. which
Is so obnoxious to those who like
justice and fair play. Go and buy a
legal dry quart measure it won't cost
much and refuse TO accept any other
measurement In this way only Will
we break up this practice
