THE JDRY STILL OCT.
NO VrBDICT IN THS LANDBBEBG
C EE DP TO MIDNIGHT.
judge Faineant and Solicitor General
Fraser at the Court House Ready to
Receive the Verdict Had Any Agree
ment Been Beached—The Jury Now
Standing Nine for Conviction to Three
for Acquittal.
Tbe Landsberg jury is still looked up and
tbe chances of an agreement are not very
favorable. Saturday nigbt tbe jury stood
U to I for oonvictiou, but it was rumored
late last night tbe complexion is as on tbe
first ballot, 9 to S, two of the jurors
who had been voting for acquittal
and went over for oonviction Saturday
night having gone task to their original
stand. This is, of course, based on rumors.
Judge Falligant and Solicitor General
Fraser were ready to receive a verdict after
12 o'clock last night, but tbe jury wasn't
ready to render one. It will not be dis
charged today and possibly may be kept
locked up for the balance of tbe week if co
agreement Is reached. The judge hat the
right, if he desires t-> exercise it, of keeping
the jury confined until the court adjourns
fcr tbe term. In tbe meantime Landsberg
is enjoying bimself as best be can in a jail
cell.
Groups of people loitered about the
court house all of yesterday and last nigbt
looking up at the windows of the jury room.
Sheriff Honan had a couple of bailiffs de
tailed to keep people from communicating
with the jurors, who spent the
day looking out of the win
dows. A ballot was not taken until
midnight, but tbe jurors knew pretty well
bow they were divided. A ballot, had one
been taken, would have been nothing more
tbau a formality. At tbe conven
ing of court this morning the
jury will have been locked up
sixty hours. All of yesterday
there were constant inquiries at the court
house to learn if an agreement had been
reaobed, and the bailiffs and messengers
spent a good deal of their time in answer
ing questions as to how the jury stood.
HIGH WINDS AND COOLER.
A General Drop In Temperature All
Over tbe South.
Yesterday was in faot a delightful day.
The maximum temperature for the day
was 67* and tbe minimum 57*, tbe mean
temperature being 1* above the normal.
The maximum velocity of the wind was
twenty-six miles per hour. It was blow
ing west at tbe time of tbe closing observa
tion. Cloudiness prevailed In the North
Atlantic states, Ohio, Middle and Eastern
Tennessee, Northern Illinois, Western
Nebraska and North Dakota. Rain was
falling at Washington city, Philadelphia
and Pittsburg and snow at Cleveland.
Generally fair weather prevails along the
Middle Atlantic coast, throughout tbe booth
Atlantic and Gulf states and throughout
the Mississippi and Missouri valleys. An
area of high pressure covers the Western
Gulf coast and a second “high” centers in
Nebraska. An area of low pressure covers
theAtlantio seaboard, apparently central
off tbe North Atlantio coast.
Brisk to high, west to northwest winds
prevailed during the day along the Central
and Eastern Gulf coasts, throughout Geor
gia and along the Atlantic coast.
The lowest evening temperature reported
from any of the regular weather bureau
stations wag 2° below freezing at Mar
quette, Mich.
Tbe forecast for Savannah and vioinlty
till midnight to night is, fair, cooler in
morning, aud warmer In afternoon. North
west to west winds; fresh to brisk till
noon.
TO BE DISPOSED OF TO-DAY.
The Central Railroad Case Expected
to Be Settled One Way or Another.
The future fate of the Central railroad
will probably be finally determined to-day,
but whether it will be turned over to a re
ceiver or to the stockholders for reorganiza
tion is something which cannot be predicted,
although tbe latter plan seems to be tbe one
the court is expected to adopt. No matter
what the outcome will be, it is generally
conceded that Gen. Alexander must go. The
arguments will be concluded this afternoon
and a decision will probably follow without
delay.
Directors Hull and Garnett went up last
night to attend a meeting of the Central di
rectors to-day. Judge Adams, who spent
the day with his family here, also returned
to Macon to look after the Interests of his
clients, tbe Southwestern stockholders.
It is pretty generally understood that in
the event a receiver is appointed It will be
a man who has not been prominently
known in connection with the case, and
that bis appointment will be a surprise.

TRIAL OF MEYER’S MURDBRBR&
It Wlil Begin in the Superior Court
This Morning.
The trial of August Meyer’s murderers
to-day will no doubt pack the court house
with almost as many spectators as the
Landsberg trial attracted. Solicitor Gen
eral Fraser has not decided which one
of the prisoners will be put on trial first.
The five will be brought to tho court house
together aud a choice will then be made,
except tbe defense is willing to waive a sev
erance which is hardly probable. Hon. F.
G. du Bignon will assist Solicitor General
Fraser in the prosecution.

OFFICES FAHRBNBACH DEAD.
A Faithful Police Official Taken Off
by pneumonia.
Policeman Henry L Fabrenbach, for the
last eleven years connected with the city
exchange, died yesterday afternoon at his
1 home. No. 19 Zubiy street, after an iliness
j of three days, from pneumonia.
Officer Fabrenbach was a native of Ger
l many and was 54 years old. He had been
a resident of Savannah over thirty years,
twenty-one of which were spent ia the
faithful service of the city. When the war
broke out be volunteered his services
to bis adopted home and en
i tered the confederate army in tbe
ranks of tbe Ito Kalb Rifles. He fought -
bravely to tbe end of tbe war and carries to
his grave a wound as a mark of his devotion
to the lost causa.
In 1868 be was appointed on the police
foroe and remained in eervlce until 1877.
No braver or better guardian of the peace
ever wore a policeman’s uniform in Savan
nah. Fearlessly conscientious in the dis
charge of his duty, be gained tbe highest
confidence of ' hi* superior officers
and the respect of all bis com
panions. While trying to quell
a row at a negro ball in Chatham hall, sev
eral years ego, he received a glancing wound
In tbe stomach from a bullet fired by one of
tbe rioters. It out bis watch chain in half
and deflected its course which was tbe only
thing which saved his life.
In 1877 Officer Fahrenbaoh resigned from
tbe force to engage in other business. In
1881 be was reappointed, and was attached
to the exchange service. In this capacity
he became sheriff at tbe police court and a
messenger of tbe tax department.
In this branch of the service Offi
cer Fabrenbach was constantly thrown
into communication with the business por
tion of the ooinmunity and his deportment
won for bimself the esteem of many.
In bis death tbe city loses a man with whom
duty was paramount to everything.
Officer Fabrenbach was attached to the
government light service and kept tue
range light In the exchange tower.
He was a member of the German Volun
teers, which organization will attend his
funeral together with au escort cf honor
from the polios force.

THE FOO T BALL GAME,
The Library Boys Accorded Bough
Usage in Macon.
The C. L, A . foot ballists, who returned
from Macon yesterday, regaled the stay
at-homes at the Library ball with their ex
perience. The crowd which witnessed the
game was a Macon crowd in every sense,
and was anxious for the local team to down
the visitors at all cost. The spectators, as a
majority, they said, howled and kicked at
tbe C. L. A boys ateverv opportunity, ap
parently with the intention of rattling them,
but they were mistaken in the make up of
Savannah’s representatives.
Hisses or hoots, attacks or nothing else
could rattle them, They went to play foot
ball to win, and they won. Tbeir superiority
in tbe game over the Mercer team was a
revelation to Macon folks which they
hadn’t expected, and necessarily they felt
aggrieved.
The sports bad been blowing about what
an easy time the college boys were going to
have outkickiug and outrunning the Ba
vannahiaus, but when the tables turned
they were sore. To tbeir sorrow they found
out Savannah could teach Macon points on
foot ball, aud the only satisfaction they
oould get out of the affair was to express
their disapproval by howling and kicking.
The attack upon Hartridge is supposed to
have come from some sport who was sore
over a loss of money. It was done as the
player was passing a crowd, and had tbe
man who dealt the blow been disoovered be
would nave fared badly at the hands of the
Bavannahians. They were vexed nt their
treatment generally by the crowd, and if the
fellow who hit tbe cowardly blow co Id
have been caught he would have found that
Havannah produced as hard hitters as she
does successful ball kickers.

There came near being a serious wreck
on the Air Line road at Lula Friday nigbt.
The train from Athens had just arrived at
Lula. The down passenger from Charlotte
had just come down on the main line and
was standing still. A heavy freight was in
the rear of the passenger and was pulling
up-grade when a coupling pin broke and tbe
whole train rolled back, crushing into the
passenger car aud badly demolishing it.
No one was hurt, although H. K. Nichol
son of Athens had a narrow escape.
A question of some noveltv was decided
by tbe supreme court of Kansas in tbe re
cent case of Long vs. railroad ooropany, in
whloh it Was held that where a railroad’s
ticket agent at a station was afilioted with a
contagious disease, and another person came
in contaot with him In purchasing a railroad
ticket at the station and thereby contracted
the disease, the railroad company was not
liable in damages therefor, If neither the
company nor any of its superior officers bad
any knowlodge that the ticket agent bad
the disease. The oourt said: "It is the rule
that where the owner of a bouse, office, or
ether tenement, knowing that It Is so in
fected by the small-pox or any other con
tagious disease as to be unfit for occupation
and to endanger the health and lives of the
oooupauts, and, concealing this knowledge
from the person invited, induces him to
hire, occupy or visit it, and the person so
hiring or invited takes a disease by reason
of the infection, the owner is guilty of ac
tionable negligence. In suoh a case, how
ever, it must be shown that the owner knew
that the house, office or tenement was so In
fected as to endanger the health or life of
any person who might visit or occupy It.
Knowledge is an element Id the intent
essential to liability. * * * The negli
ge.it or accidental act, if any,of the agent In
Imparting a contagious disease to the pur
chaser of the railroad ticket, was not
within the soope of his authority so as to
charge the oompany, his master. The
sickness of an agent with a contagious
disease cannot be presumed to be author
ized or directed by tbe master, and is not
an incident in any way to the employment
of selling tickets or acting as agent at a
station. ”
CAUSES SUFFERING IN HEAVEN
Every Time a Sin la Committed In tha
World.
At St. Patrick’s churoh yesterday morn
ing Father Dougherty of New York, the
successor to Father Drungoole in the mis
sion work among the homeless boys of tbs
metropolis, preached an eloquent sermon.
His theme was tbe life of Christ from bis
birth in the humble stable nt Bethlehem to
his cruoifixion on Mount Calvary, followed
by his burial, resurrection and asoension
into heaven.
As Father Dougherty went through the
soenes of the last days of the Savior upon
earth, he painted word pictures of the car
rying of the cross and tbe eruciflxion, tak
ing as a basis tbe fourteen stations of tbe
cross hanging upon the walls of the church.
His language was deeply affecting In de
picting the sufferings of Christ for the sal
vation of sinners. He told his hearers that
every time a sin Is committed It causes a re
newal of tbe Savior's sufferings, and ho
pleaded with them to abhor vices. Tbe ser
mon was one of tbe finest ever heard in St.
Patrick's.

THE VALUE OF A SOUL.
EVANGILIBT PEARSON DI3CUS9BB
THE GREAT QUESTION.
Weelay Monumental Church Thronged
and an Overflow Meeting Held at tha
Flret Preebyterian Church—Dr. Pear
aon Condemns the Vloaa of the Day.
His Programme for This Week.
Evangelist Pearson last night preached on
the worth of a soul to an immense congrega
tion at Wesley Monumental ohareh. Long
before the time set for the beginning of the
service the church was crowded to its
utmost capacity. There was an overflow
oat Id the vsstlble and along the stairways,
and many people even stood on tbs side
walk In (the hope of catching a portion of
the sermon. ~
The service* were of a union character
and opened with the singing of tbe familiar
hymn, “Rescue the Perishing.” 8. B.
Adams, Esq., led ia prayer. A scripture
lesson was read by Rev. Dr. Vsss of the
First Presbyterian churoh, followed by a
fervent prayer by Dr. Pearson.
After a few prefatory announcements
the evangelist took his text from Matthew
xx vi., 6: “What doth it profit a man to gain
tbe whole world and lose his own soul ?"
FOUR OREAT QUESTIONS.
The sermon was an earnest appeal to the
unoonverted, and embraced the following
questions;
Wbat is tbe soul worth?
Is there auy danger of losing the soulf
How may I lose my soul?
What Lit to be lost?
The discussion of these important ques
tions was intensely interesting. At times
Dr. Pearson grew wonderfully eloquent and
affecting in his description of the worth of
the soul, its responsibility to God, the aton
ing blood of Christ and the eternal abiding
place of the soul in tbe next world.
“A man,” said he. “would not sell hL
body for any amount; how much more is
the soul worth than the body? Tbe latter
die* and crumbles to dust, but tbe
soul, always livlug, must, after it*
transitibn from the body, go either to
heaven or to hell. Tbe body dies not because
of disobedieuce to tbe lews of God but be
cause it has been born to die.”
MUBT BE SAVED BY REDEMPTION.
Dr. Pearson gave an illustration of a
body dying before It was old enough to
know right from wrong. Though the baby
was born a sinner, he said, it was saved by
the blood of Christ But a man it not
saved, because he L old enough to know
right from wrongs and accepts the wrong
rather than the right. He is lost forever
without be be washed in tbe blood and is
regenerated.
In the third query Dr. Pearson divided
his remarks into three separate classes, first
you come into the world a sinner, seoond
you have all tbe opportunities of being a
sinner and entering into sin, and third you
are already condemned.
It is ndt necessary, be said, to be an infidel
to looao the soul. One cau be a high-toned
gentleman and loose his soul by not being
washed in tbe blood. He oaa desecrate the
Sabbath, play cards, drink whisky, never
go to ohurch, and loose his soul. When a
person gets to hell, the preacher
said, he sees the friends he helped to bring
there and it will be a living torment to
him. “You will see your mother and
father afar off,” said he, “and will know
you are lost, and it will toment you for
ever. Lastly, you will see Christ in his
glory shining afar off and know that you
are lost beyond redemption, and that will
torment you forever and ever. What is it
to have the wrath of a merciful and loving
God?”
THE VICES OF THE DAV.
Dr. Pearson put his condemnation on the
popular vice* of modern times, tho saloons,
gambling, horse racing, progressive euchre
parties and Sunday excursions. He stamped
them all as grand, fascinating boulevards
to hell.
At the after-meeting about twenty-five
people went up to the altar.
On aocount of the large number of people
who failed to get admission to Wesley
churoh au overflow meeting was held at the
First Presbyterian church, led by Rev. E.
Pendleton Jones of tbe Duffy Street Bap
tist church.
During the servioes at Wesley a lady
fainted and bad to be carried Into the lect
ure room.
TbL morning Dr. Pearson will preach on
" Forgiveness of Enemies” and to-night oa
“Future Eternal Punishment,” To-morrow
afternoou at 4 o’clook there will boa ladies'
union meeting at tbe First Presbyterian
ofaurcb, aud Mrs. Pearson will be introduced
to all who attend.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
GIRLS PAN KEEP BEOaBTS.
Oath-bound Greek-letter Societies
That Exist In Collages for Women.
From the Chicago Herald.
In tbe co-educational oollegea tbe girls are
not dependent upon tbe caprioe of the
yonng men for entertainment by any
means. They have quite as good time* in
their petticoat nines and secret societies as
in any gathering in wbioh tbe young man
participate. Tbe invitations of the Greek
letter fraternities are strange and myster
ious to ths last degree and are all that
student ingenuity aud originality oan de
vise. One of tbe chief oharms to the un
initiated is tbe spell of mystery that en
shrines all the oereraonie*. Every chapter
has its room or ball, where are kept the
sacred emblems, the white goat upon which
all initiates must ride into full member
ship, and the precious documents that are
never touched by strange bands. Ia this
room only are told tbe significance of the
badge, tbe inotto, and the t eal came of tbe
fraternity, and all the Beorets that nev r
penetrate those silent wails. Of coursa the
Initiations are duly Imposing, and all sorts
of tricks are played to test the nerve of the
oaudidata Oue chapter conduots the be
wildered initiate through all the mazes
and labyrinths of the inferno at expounded
by Dante with due impressiveness. Gener
ally the whole proceedings wind up with a
(east. The girls’ initiations do not partake
of that rouguness or brutality whloh often
characterizes such ceremonies in the men’s
fraternities, such at strapping tbe delighted
victim to a derrick and i airing him twenty
or thirty feet to aangle in midair while he
reflects upon tbe novelty of the situation
and makes a mental note of his impres
sions, or lowering him in a coffin that he
may ooiitemplate the divine mysteries of
the new order to the tuneful cadence on
"Down to Hades, Down." Sometimesevef
the location of the chapter hall is not
known outside the fraternity. In one of
the western colleges Where considerable
antagonism sprang up against fraternities
the authorities determined to abolish the
obaptert already lu existence and took
every mean* to discourage their growth.
A rule was made forbidding the establish
ment of women's chapters. Now, if there
is anything in the world that a co-ed
wishes to do, it is just what she Is forbidden
to do, and wbat is more, she will generally
contrive to do it, too. After awhile the
faculty began to suspect that their prohibi
tion bad not bod just the effect it was in
tended to have. A committee of several
co-eds among the model students was ap
pointed by tbe authorities to act as detect
ives and report the result of their investiga
tions.
The girls reported that they bad found no
clew whatever to follow out and that hav
ing made a careful investigation had found
no evidences of infringement of the rule.
Of course, murder will out, and it was sub
sequently learned that three of tbe fire on
the oommlttee belonged to a fraternity
which had enjoyed a flourishing existence
for a long time. The young women met in
a store-room in the upper part of a busi
ness block in the town. The only meant of
access was through a dark room, several
dim passages and up a ladder-like flight of
stairs. Tbe chapter met here onoe a week,
for over a year and enjoyed the most de
lightful seclusion imaginable.
It was in this same college that several of
the girls played a crank upon one of the
professors, and afterward slid down a rope
from a third-story window to avoid detec
tion in the halls. The more dangerous tbe
proceeding and the more serious the conse
quences if the offender is found' out tbe
more the western college girl enjoys the
risk. She wants nothing mild, aud, If she
is in for a prank, goes into it with all her
might.
TRE GROOM BUYBTHB TROUSSEAU.
It Coats Money to Mtrry One of
Mexico's Senoritafl.
From the Kansas City Timet.
Marriage in Mexico is attended by pre
liminaries wbioh might well cause a single
man to mark the country down there as a
good one not to visit. A diamond ring by
way of token of engagement, a gold band
signifying marriage, are matters custom ex
acts of the matrimonial inclined American,
but that Hymen should tax the bachelor’s
purse to su h mysteries as make up bis
bride’s trousseau is too much. Yet that he
does in tho laud of cactus is a solemn, grew
some fact that Theodore W. Parviu will
vouob for.
“In Mexico,” Mr. Parvin justly observes,
“they have some peculiar customs in re
gard 'to marriage. Tue groom provides
the bride’s trousseau to the minutest partic
ular. He buys every bit of it; every spook
ing, hair-pin,’pair of garters -everything,
in fact.
“My wife did not wear, or even bring
from Mexico, a single thing that she had
ever worn before, not even ber jewelry, to
some of which she had become greatly at
tached. I knew that it was incumbent on
me to make tha purchases, but I didn’t
know how to go about that part of the mar
riage preparation, and went to my wife’s
mother and confessed.
“You see, it is also the oustom for tbe
mothers of the contracting parties to do tbe
shopping together. My wife's mother pleaded
ignorance of tbe American Styles and the
requirements of this climate, so I induoed
two American ladies to buy everything, and
I meekly followed around and paid the
bills.”
But there are other curious incidents at
tendant upon a high-class Mexican wedding.
“The marriage festivities are very elabor
ate,” say* Mr. Parvin, “everybody drinks
and has a good time for three "or four days.
T e invitation to tbe wedding would seem
odd to au American. Here is one teat out
by my wife’s people:
“Tbe invitation is neatly engraved, and
stated, tn Spanish, that 'The General Man
ucl Sanobez Rivera, and Soledad Barrigan
of Sanchez Rivera invito you to the mar
riage of tbeir daughter, joseflne * * *
at this your home,’ etc.” Mr. Parvin smiled
in a superior way, and said in explanation:
“The Mexican never invites you to his
home, but, pretending that it it yours,
craves always tbe honor of meeting you
there.”
Women of tbit oountry who must fain
content themselves with being Daughters of
Kebeka will be envious when they learn
through Mr. Parvin that in Mexico wotneu
may join tbe Masonic order as well os men.
He said yesterday: “My wife belongs to
the order and her father is a 33d degree
member.”
Mr. Parvin says that it is but seldom
that an American, be be ever to rioh, wins
an Introduction into Mexican society.
“There is no middle class In Mexico,” he
says, “and there is si br ad a distinction
between the better alnss of Mexicans and
the lower class as there It between tbe best
whit* people in this oountry and the
negroes. It la a very rare thing, indeed, for
au American to obtain entraoae to tbe
house* of the beet people.”

Former Cannibals, Some of Whom Are
Now Citizens of the United States
From the San Francisco Examiner.
Rev. William Duncan, tbe English mis
sionary, is in the oity. It is thirty-seven
years since he visited the oahnibalt of
British Columbia near the Alaska line, and
civilized the tribe of Metlakabtla Indiana
Fire years ago, owing to an attempt of tbe
Missionary Society to narrow bis work, ac
companied by over 800 of bis faithful fol
lowers, be removed to the Amerioan island
of Annette, and fo inded a republic that is
the talk of the world.
The venerable Father Duncan, as be is
known by tbe Indians, bas not been in San
Francisco for seventeen years. Many books
have been written about him. Lord Duf
feriD, in the Encyoloptedla Britannioa, has
tola of bis great work la Instructing the
Indians, among whom for years he carried
his life in bis hand, and of his suooess in
teaahing them the religion of peace. Father
Duncan is now almost 60 years of age. He
bas oome down to buy an organ, a chemical
engine, some salmon-canning machinery,
ana other neoessary things for the people of
his Island.
The Island of Annette, on which he and
his followers have their homo, was given to
them by the United States. The aged mis
sionary holds a position similar to that of a
president or a governor. There is a cour.oil
of twenty-five Indians who formulate the
law. There are two constables, two men
who may be called on as aids to maintain
order and an island guard corresponding to
the national guard aud consisting of thirty
five Indians. There is also a fire company,
a steam saw-mill and a cannery. The little
republic is prosperous.
The island is about 14 miles long and
from 3t04 in width. In the centre moun
tains rife to a height of 2,000 or 3,000 feet.
About five-sixths of it is oovered with
gigantic trees, consisting mainly of pine
and fir. The remainder is beautiful valley
land, much of wbioh it level. Metlakabtla.
where tbe populace i* centered, it situated
0“ a picturesque bay, affording anchorage
to tbe largest snips. Fort Simpson was tbe
plaoe where tbe Metlakabtlaa lived thirty
five years ago, when Mr. Duncan
first went among them. They were
then so barbaric that tbe Hudson
Bay Company, which had a post there, had
a stockade 32 feet high, flanked by cannon
on each corner, and twenty-two armed men
Inside to keep guard Mr. Duncan stayed
there five years, and by that lime gained
such influence that he removed them some
distance away to the site of old Metlakabtla,
where he remained till he founded bis island
republic. The old missionary yesterday
told of his adventures among tbe Indians.
“When I went among them,” said be,
“tbe Indians were oannibait aud were sunk
in ignorance and supers ition. They had
an idea that to partake of human flesh pro
pitiated the spirits, and that tbe person do
ing so was mads braver and stronger. Only
slave* were killed and eaten. I remember
many instances wben oannibalism was
practiced. One was in the oase of a girl
owned by a chief.
“The chief thought that he would add to
tbe rank of his daughter, so the slave girl
was killed aud thrown on the beach. At tbe
stockade we heard that the girl was dead,
and we anticipated they would soon indulge
in their feast. Suddenly we heard a series
of weird crie* oomblned with strange sing
ing, and from our high gallery secure within
the stockade we saw several bands of from
fifteen to twenty Indians each rush out and
go toward the beach.
"The leaders were stalwart savages. They
did not wear a single garment. They
rushed along like a pack of wolves scenting
their prey. They gathered around the
body. Soon the crowd scattered, eacn one
of tbe naked leaders having in hit possession
a portion of the poor girl’s remains.
“The Metlakahtlas had a custom of biting
and being bitten. They would go forth at
Aimes with their arms and other portions of
tbeir bodies bared and suffer pieces to be
Ditten out of their flesh. Tbe women would
follow after and dress the wou ids. It was
considered an honor to be bitten.
“Sometimes we had the whole place bar
ricaded , and we maintained no fire#, lest the
savages, who had obtained swords, knives,
and guns from traders, would shoot through
the interstices and kill those within. We
had to keep watch night and day. On one
occasion a naked savage, one wb > had killed
four men, forced bimself into tbe stockade
and marched about like a maniac, with a
long sword, outting right and left. At last
the captain slipped up behind him. carrying
in bis hand anew blanket, and dexterously
approaching him slipped it over his shoul
ders. He looked down at it like a ohild,
made some remark in Indian about its be
ing nice, and was appeased.
“This illustrates the mental condition in
which they were then. Now,” said the mis
sionary, "they are lifted up by the gospel
of Christ, and are monuments of Its power.
I had begun teaching them at Fort Simp
son in their own language, and had issued
some text books, but I fouud that to keep
teaching them iu their own tongue was a
mistake. I removed them all to Metlakab
tla, seventeen miles away, secure from
former influences, and began to inatruot
them in English.”
Tho Missionary Society of the Episoopal
church under whose auspioes Father Dun
can fit st came to British Columbia five years
ago, sent out a bishop to give directions as
to how the ludians should be taught. He
knew little about wbat should be done, and
neither the Indians nor their instructor was
satisfied.
Father Duncan went to Washington and
President Cleveland gave him the island. A
number of the Indians as well as Father
Duncan have bee >me citizens of the United
States, taking allegiance to it, and the Presi
dent boa recommended a law to make them
all citizens. Father Dunoan says the solu
tion of the Indian question it to keep ths
Indians employed. The policy of maintain
ing them in idleness at a reservation is, he
says, all wrong.
His people are very happy and contented,
and he is satisfied to die among them, hav
ing long ago fully determined to renounce
civilization for the good be oan do to one of
tee wildest and most dangerous tribes that
have ever been known.

TO Induce Humility In a Peacock.
From the St. Louie Globe-Democrat.
If you wish to take the ooDoeit out of a
peacock pull out hie tail feathers, and as
soon as he finds the glory of bis plumage
gone be becomes the humblest, most sub
dued aud atbamed-looking bird that ever
walked tbe earth. A peacock in full feather
uso vain and oonoelted as sometimes to be
really troublesome. Not satisfied with
squaliiug at tha top of his diaoordaut voice,
and with parading himself through the
yard and up and down tbe walks with ex
panded plumage, he will attack cate, and gs
and even children, aud has been known to
seriously Injure small Doyaor girls that were
maeutloui enough to veuturs within his
reach. Plucking hie tall feathers, however,
cause* ell bis courage to evaporate Us will
sneak around ths yard iika a whip, ed span
