Iu con sideration of this feeling among His col leagues, Col. Cutts sugg sted that the bill be amended so that it should take effect only at the expiration of the term of the present members. The House decided that the best way to settle the mat er was not to settle it all, aud so on a call of the yeas and nays the motion to suspend the rules and take up the bill was killed.

SITES FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS. Secretary Foster Will Try to Suggest a New Plan to Congress. Washington, Oct. 3. —One of the sub jects of which Secretary Foster will treat in his annual report will have reference to the method employed in the purchase of sites for public buildings. Tbe selection of sites for public buildings has for many years been a source of great annoyance to the officers of the treasury department. The last cong re is provided for such an unusual number of public building) that this annoyance has become an abso lute nuisance and has taken up very much valuable time. The rivalry betweeu different parts of a town or city in which a publio building is to be erected brings on innumerable controversies, and the tiling •with tbe treasury department of tons of arguments pro and con. And then there is always a tendency when it is known that a public building is to be built in a town or city to abnormally raise the price of a suit able place for it. It will be readily seen that collateral reasons furnish many ideas with which to impede aud clog a proper determination cf the question at the bands of tbe treasury department officials. An old expedient hns been to Bend out commissions to select bites. Asa rule these com missions come back about as much mixed as were the papers in the office before they took their departure. Judge Crounse.one of the assistant secretaries of of the treasury, bad great trouble over this matter during the last year. It is from his -xperience that Secretary Foster will em body his recommendations on the subject, ah!ch will go into bi3 annual report. The whole business involves so many diverse interests, and covers so thoroughly the country, that it ih a question even if J4r. FVister, with Judge Crouuse’s assist ance, can be able to evolve a 6yetem that will be satisfactory. BATTL.SS WITH TH2 BAT. Basultsof the Ball Gama* Betweaa the Ooaa;ry'd 31./ <J.uds.

A Spot Where Buskin Might Find Soma Dalight ul EuiDS. From the Bradford Era. Atter Ole Bull had fiddled bis way into the hearts of tbe American people and had accumulated a large fortune, he undertook to carry out a long-cherished dream. He wished to establish a colony of his country men in Amerioa, and for this purpose he bought, in 1858, over 12,006 acres of land in the unbr -ke i wilderness of Potter county, Pennsylvania. Ole Bull located HOl Nor, wegians and Danes on his possessions. The price he paid for his lauds was about SIO,OOO. It was bis inten tion to found four towns. These were Walbal'a, New Bergen. New Norway and Oleona. They were laid out with a view to the future, and work com menced. Mr. Bull also began work on a castle a mile or two fro.n Oleona, which wa to be a pretentious structure for the lord of the colony. Each settler W3S pro vided a plot of ground and set to work. Un fortunately for the success of the colonv, Ol* Bull had no knack of protecting him self againsLunse. upulous sharpers, and his lands were found to be involved iu such a manner that questions arose as to the titles. Thus it came about that in 1553 many of the colonists left. They were also com pelled to undergo a good many privations, to which they were unaccustomed. The great trees which stood in the w ay of culti vation of the soil presented on obstacle they did not know how to remove. They grubbed the forests out with mattocks iu s ead of felling the trees with axes. The hardships of tho wilderness aud the pioneer's life discouraged them. Iu a year or two the colonists had nearly all scattered, tho most of them going t > Wisconsin and the northwest, and Mr. Bull, disheartened, his property gone and the savings of bis lifetime gone with his youth, left bis colony and his cherished hopes and returned with his violin to euter tain the people again with his uuequaied music. Walballe. and New Norway fell into de cay, the castle was abandoned —an unfin ished pile of rocks —and Ibe lands pas-ed into the bands of William Raddle, who subsequently founded a German settlement, which was more successful. Of the Ole Bull colony, a few remained at Oleona which is a thriving hamlet. New Bergen is also still a wayside settlement. A few of tbe colouists survive, but the founder, Ole Bull, died iu Norway eleven years ngo. When the colony was first projected it may ne expected that Ole Bull had a great many friends who wished him unbounded prosperity aud success. From these friends came to the colonists donations of machin ery, appllanoss, stocks, etc. A notable gift was from Henry Clay, the distinguished Kentuckian, who sent a number of fine Kentucky cattle and horses from his tine place at Ashland.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1891. LIFE OF THE CANNIBALS. A PRIEST SPENDS THIRTY-SIGHT YEARS IN THE MARQUESAS. Singular Costumes of a Feculiar Peo ple—Father Florent Tells the Story of H s Work in a Far-Away Country. Ths Men lattoo Themselves—Pretty Women. From the San Francisco Examiner. Among the arrivals hero by tbe barken, tine Tropic Bird was the venerable Father Florant, of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. He wav one of a band of five heroic priests who thirty-eight years ago left Paris to labor among the cannibals of the Mara U69as. Tbe venerable father has not been home in all that time, nor has he sat foot off the islands. Ho has learned all the languages and dialects of the people of the thirty-five islands comprising the group and has aided materially in converting mauy of them to Christianity. Tne reverend father told about the native) at length. He said’that of the five young priests, full of buoyancy ard confidence, who left Paris in 1853, only himself and Father Nicoias were yet alive. He is 66 years oid, ha said, and Father Nicolas is 70. “I would be there still.” said the venera ble ina-i, "but 1 have been called to Pans bo superintend the publication of a very large dictionary, which lam now getting out. X have mu le several translations of the Bible and of different religious works in the na tive tongue. When we went to the Marque sas t here were no missionaries there. Dis ease has swept away more than half the population since my arrival there. “Then tnere were about 12,000 natives; now there are not more than 5,000. “My home in tho Marquesas has been nearly all the time at Tolahoe, on Nukahiva Island, which now has two general stores. Nine of the brothers of tne Sacred Heart are there. When we arrived the natives were cannibals, and our lives were not safe. Several times the natives resolved on mas sacreing us, but in some manner we always received word of it aud escaped. "The natives had no conception of fire arms, never having seen or heard of auy. They fought with clubs, bows and native spears, with ail of which weapons they were very perfect. “One of my hardest efforts was to get them to cease from tattooing themselves. The men o.’teutimes tattoo themselves from head to foot, there being hardly an inch square of the surface of their skin any where from the forehead down not tattooed. Oftentimes the becy at a little distance seems of a blue color, owing to the use of the dyes. “Tho women of the higher order, as a rule, do not tatt o themselves, except on the hands and forearms. Tbe face is loft perfectly clear, and handsomer women thaa some of the Marquesas I have never seen. They are amiable, too, aud have naturally mauy qualities that are most admired iu tne women of civilized countries. Their features are very regular, their hair is as black as a raven’s wing, their eyes dark brown or black, and tbeir complexions of a butternut hue. Some, however, are nearly white. "When 1 first went there two of the moat formidable tribes, the Hoppahs and the Taeehs, were at war with each other. They are among the bravest and bloodiest of the Marquesas. At about this lime Capt. Por ter, since the noted American admiral, made his famous cruise in the Essex. He opened trade with the two tribes and per suaded them to cease tbeir warfare. It was not without a great effort, however, ond then afterward war broke out again. "One of the most noted descendants of Gattanewa, the potentate and ruler at that time, is Pittance, now about 45 years of age. She is yet beautiful, but theu I thought she was the most beautifiil young woman I ever saw. You understand the natives in that hot climate mature much earlier than they do in the north. She was and yet is fairer thau any woman of these islands I have ever seen. Her composure is dignified and she is stately and exceed ingly graceful in appearance. “Many of these natives, though but a de gree moved from cannibalism, have a gravity, composure and courtesy of man ner that is astonishing. It is natural to them as the diunity and composure of the American Indian was before their contami nation with the border people. Tho skin of the women especially is remarbnbly soft and smooth, beiug kept so by applications of cocoanut oil. The women are fond of ornaments, aud in iate years they like to put on gorgeous colors. “A more interesting people I do not think it possible to fiud anywhere. Feathers and flowers are fails with them. They also fre quently wear necklaces of beads, wild cucumbers and dried wild berries. Ear drops of bogs’ and whales’ teeth, fish bones anl shells are also used in profusion among them. 1 ‘The men are uniformly darker in com plexion than the women. Only those who are distinguished by rank and venerable in age are perfect in their tatto in?. An old man who has been tattooed all over and b <- daubed with cocoanut oil for years looks like a piece of old mahogany more than anything else. The innumerable tattoo marks run in waves similar to the gram of ancient, well kept furniture. The operation of tattooing reqniras almost a lifetime to perfect it. It must be kept up for twenty five years at least. It is begun usually at about 18 years of age. “One of the most perfect instances of tat tooing is found in old John Howard of Nukubiva Islfud. He is an American, has lived there over forty years, and has several native wives and a large family. He seems perfectly contented with his lonely life on the island. Tnere are few Americans in the islands. What Europeans there are are largely French. Everything there is under French rule, and as good order is preserved, 1 presume, as it could be possible under the existing condition of the natives. “I have great hopes that the long years myself and brother have spent there will not be In vain. It takes a long time to res cue people from such a B.ate of barbarism as that in which we found them, but I think we have succeeded as well as it could be possible under the oiroumstances. The natives are now disposed to listen to us, and we feel that our labor is not lost. “Onejof our great aims has alwavs been to inst; uct the children. Our schools have been well attended, and though we have oftentimes seemed to make progress very niowiv, we have really advanced as fast as possible with such a people. In saving this Ido not wish to reflect upon them, for I consider them iniellectuallv, and so far as their disposition is concerned, to be in the front rank witii the people of the earth. “One thing I wish particularly to refer to is the habit of cannibalism. For more than a dozen years after I went to the islands as a missionary, bauds of natives known as anthr pophagi, or man eaters, mod to mak'< inroads on olhors, with which they c irricd on intermittent war,steal upon and .ill or take captive and carry them away in the jungles and eat tuem. Captives in war wtre eaten and bund preyed upon band. ■•Humnc life was at no time safe. One of our first ellor s was to show them tic hor rible nature of cannibalism. Our teachings for a 1 ng time had little eirect. Sometimes a humi would come from the woods at night r.glit where we were and -teal aw.y mm and eat them. On one occasion wo Lad to run for our lire*, and for five days wo had nothing localli'itc nioanulsand brevl fruit. •' .'.vo yetrs later they swept down upon u< and carr.wi away our native intoi pretor and tw i other native-.

His hair and venerable beard are long and as white as snow. Yes terday for tbe first time in thirty-eighty ars he waiked about and looked at a great city. He saw the magnificent streets and the fast moving ears, and be shook his head de murely. “This all belong) to another age, it seems to rce,” said the old man. Father Florent said that now the great object of his remaining year* was to finish the 1 ig dictionarv on which he had been at work since his arrival in the Marquesas. He would be a year in Paris, he said, and then, if his health' had not utterly failed him, ho would return to the lonely, but pretty trop ical island of Nukuhiva, there to die with the strange people with whom he had labored so long. BETRAYED BY BIS SWEETHEART. A Mysterious Assassination Solved Arter Six Years. Shoals, Ind. , Oct. 4. —Sheriff Albert Traylor of Dubois county to-day arrested Joseph Crabtree for murder. The grand jury recently returned an indictment against Crabtree and William Waiters for the murder of Stanford Freeman, a wealthy farmer of Lost River township, this county, on Thursday, Oct 8, 18S5. Since that time Walters murdered two men, named Bled saw and Stritt, in Orange county, over a game of cards, and is now serving a term of twenty-one years iu the Jeffersonville prison. Stanford Freeman wj? an industrious and wealthy farmer and was supposed to keep considerable money about his parson. On the nightof Oct 8, 1885, while in his barn he was confronted by a masked man, who covered him with "a revolver and com manded him to throw uo his bauds. Sturdy old Farmer Freem.au. grabbing a club, made tor tbe burglar, who t.eat a nasty retreat, tiring four shots from his revolver. Free man escaped unscratched. la his i etreat the burglar fell over a trough and old man Freeman was in the act of striking him when a second masked man sprang from his place of concealment and fired four shots at freeman, two of which struck him about his hips. Freeman fell and the assiSsins fled without securiug any valuables. At the time the Archer gang was in power in that section of the county and tho crime was supposed to have been commit ted by some of its members, but not the slightest clew could be discovered. At the time Walters committed the murder of the two men in Orange county, Crabtree fled with him to Arkansas and was there when Waiters was arrested. The first clew im plicating them as the murderers of Freeman was given a few days since by Miss Mol Andrews, who was Walters' sweetheart at the time of the murder, and she said that Walters threatened to kill her if she ever gave hi in away. Walters being a desperate character, she remained silent. Crabtree says he was with Walters at the time uf bis arrest in Arkansas; that he was in Duboif county, near where Freeman wa) murdered, but that be knows nothing of the crime.

There Is no lack of competition in the printing trade in Savannah, and there is, therefore, no excuse for merchants who have made, or are making, their fortunes here sending their work abroad. There are Ten printing offices in Savannah, and tbev average about tbe same as similar establishments in other cities. They give employment to between 300 and 400 people, and, taking the usual computation, fur nish bread for from 1.800 to 2.450 mouths. Ninety-nine percent, of that number are white people, who contribute to the healthy growth and general prosperity of tne city. 11 is true that t bese working people don't handle naval stores, rice or cotton, but they and their fellow workmen buy clothes and food and pay j rent, which adds, directly or indirectly, to the j prosperity of the merchants. When tne peace of the city is threatened these I men stand guard ready to do a soldier’s duty in I defense of the lives and property of their fellow citizens. There is not a line of established business in Savannah that cannot compete with similar : concern) abroad, and thero is no excuse for the ! maa who sen is his orders for clothes, shoes, groceries aud printing, etc . away, when he can by investigation of prices find that he can do as i weli at home. It is a well known fact that printing, litho graphing and binding are sent from this city to ! concerns that have no facilities of their own for doing such w ark, but farm it out on a percent age.
