A STRANGE AFFAIR.
It will be recalled that In June last
the brother of Assistant Secretary of
State Loomis started on a trip to Abys-
plnla, carrying the commercial treaty
entered Into by thle government atAI
King Menellk. Mr. I-oomla waa ac
tompanlrd by one Kill*, » negro,, who
tad tried to obtain the commission
given the former and had accepted ap
pointment aa a aubordlnata member of
The party. While crondng the Atlantic
Looml* disappeared from the steamer
and later hie body wae found on the
NCngltsh coast and the evidence Indi
cated that he had hcen foully dealt
with, or auch were the reporte at the
time. Elite went on to Abyssinia car
rying the treaty and recently returned
to thla country. An official atalamant
In regard to the matter laaued by the
stale department a few daya alnce
reads aa follow*:
-Mr. Kills reported »o the nerartmem

1 signed

reipt which he received from Kins Men*
Ilk upon Ihe delivery to him of the signet
copy of the commercial treaty with
Abyssinia. He freely and cheerfully an
swered she searching oiieetinne put to
him by tbs Official*, who mad* careful
Inquiry Into all th* circumstances con
nected with the trip to Abyssinia. Itwa,
stated St the department th«J Mr- I
eaplsnatmns ware ol a satisfactory na
ture, and that no blame Is attached to
him In connection with Ihe trerte epl-
ecje which occurred on his trip from
New York to France In June last.
This would seem to aetile the ques
tion and leave no room for double, but
the behavior and utterancee of Ellis
after he reached Washington were an
remarkable aa to render the myaterlou*
^ transaction more myeterlou* than
ever, and many agree with Ihe Wash
ington Poet In believing thet "mani
festly there la some ugly reservation
, touching thla affair." The attitude of
Kill* toward th* aaalatant secretary ef
, atata especially waa described ae In
solent and threatening. “Covered with
Jewelry, bedlsened, boastful, frowning,
ho declared hla Intention of eitortlng
a cert Iflcate of good conduct from the
government and hinted at damaging
reveUtlona In default thereof." In an
Interview with Ihe Washington Even
Ing Blur Ellis Mid:

such menacing and dark Insinuations,
calculated to fill the public mind with
wonder and suspicion? No wonder an
Inquiry Into this mysterious affair by
a congressional committee la advised
.by the Washington Poet, which point
edly adds: "Thera ta something be
neath thla ghastly comedy that ahould

Indigestion In certain circles."
Charles Eastman, who is a Sioux, de
clares that there are 270,000 Indians
now In North America—aa many as
when Columbus first saw the conti
nent. In this category ore Included
only the warrior rad men, and not of
count, the mllllona of "Indiana" in
Mexico. Central and South America.
The Brooklyn Eagle la glad to have
the assurance from Dr. Eastman. It
saya. however, that there la no possi
ble way to estimate the proportions
of the tribal, aboriginal life at the
time that white Immigration began.
Terrible slaughter began almost at once
and continued until recent years. The
Eagle saya very few of the member*
of the Five Nations, aa at present en
rolled, can claim direct descent.
That they have survived at all is
undoubtedly due to their Individualism,
as suggested. The virility of the
race has been amazing under the cir
cumstances, and there is much reason
to believe that Dr. Eastman is correct.
The Indian ware were continued up to
comparatively few years ago, but
since the defeats of such chiefs as
Sitting Bull, Geronlmo, Red Cloud,
Crasy Horse and others by the United
States army, and the adoption of the
reservation system, the Indian Is fore-
ed Into a life of peace In a land of
planty. Consequent!* there Is no rea
son why he should not perpetuate his
speclea, as coincidentally, tribal war
fare has nlso ceased. Under such con
ditions, the race ahould Increase, rath
or than diminish, though the purity of
blood, because of cross breeding may
not he, maintained. That there has
been complete subjugation Is to be ad
mltted, and no one now belleven that
the "hatchet" will ever again be un
burled or that there will be another
scalp dance on the continent. The
uged warrior who ao pathetically ad
dressed the last of tha blsona, laying
that as the latter had departed, they
had but led the way of the Indian race
to oblivion, seems to have been mis
taken.

There Is no occasion for haste In the
effort to reorganize the Democratic
party. On the contrary, there Is dan
ger in haste. “By the time the wise

p Issues that were born out of time,
nd sadly realize* the sting of the
proverb.—Philadelphia Record.
We are all Americans before we are

dent of the South as well a* of the
North. The welfare of the South must
be ns dear to him ns that of any other

The rumor that Mr. Roosevelt will
become president of Har.vard Univer
sity after leaving the White HOune. in
1909. Is possibly premature, but It Is
by no means Improbable that he should
contemplate such a step. With the ex
ception of Mr. Cleveland, ex-Presl-
denta have been rather cumbersome
public characters. They could not very
well accept office from their succes
sors, and they have been unwelcome
In political circles. Four years more
mny give Mr. Roosevelt n desire for
repose, and he would be eminently
suitable for a college presidency.—

Prepnring an Ironclad for Its Grim
Work—How a Modern Battloship
Is Made Ready for Action.
A fleet of six gray battle ships Is
stemming rapidly in n cnlm oea, snys
Lieut. Gtelg, in the Chicago Chronicle.
Fur shesd of the fleet can bo distin
guished the hulls nnd slender mast*
of several cruisers. These are the
scouts, th* "eyes” of the fleet, upon
which the admiral relies for news of
the enemy’s movements. Other cruis
ers. out of sight of the battle fleet, are
scouring the seas upon some prear
ranged plan. Let un. however, con
fine our attention to the battle fleet.
The alx great armor-clad* are all of
one type, forming a homogeneous
imtdron. Each In of 15.000 tons dis
placement, of equal speed and carries
similar guns. To the eyes of the
landsman they are ns like ns half a
dozen drled^peas, and their similarity
In accentuated by the gray paint that
overs them from truck to water line.
They nre formed In two divisions, not
in yet In order of battle. The tw
lending ships each flics an admiral'
flag. Tho divisions are six cables
apart (200 yards), but the space be
tween each unit Is but 400 yards, and
this Interval, you will notice, Is main
tnlned with nn accuracy won by con
stnnt practice. Little smoke Issues
from the tall, gray funnels. In the
smooth sea the heavy ships have no
perceptible motion, though you can see
they are making progress by the white
fonm nt the bows nnd by the broad
ribbon of foam churned up by the twin
screws of each vessel.
Presently a red nnd white "answer
Ing" pennant streams from the mast
head of the flagahlp. One of the scouts
Is signalling? She begins to close
with the squadron. One perceives that
other nnd more distant cruisers nre
nlso steaming back to the fleet. We
gucts the reason long before our keen
eyed signalman can distinguish the
message. The enemy ban hern slghteed
some twenty miles to the eastward.
Such Is the welcome news. At onn
tho flagship runs up the signal "Pro
pare for action; form the order of
listtle." For In these day* of fast
steaming twenty miles' Interval affords
but eomfortnble breathing spare un
less the enemy decides to run away.
If he is hearing down upon un we may
be within range of him In a quarter
of ith hour. ^
Ruch, ns It seems, Is his design so
our ships must form at once into sin
gle line. Let us note what preparations
are being made for the coming battle.
The game has been rehearsed often
enough—so often. Indeed, thnt wo can
hardly realize thnt this Is at Inst the
ml thing, the grim frailty. Take any
shin at random. The same pro pern
lions are being made In all. Rev
hundred men nre going about their r
dlnsry business Suddenly a bugle
Mares out the familiar call to "general
quarters," and ere the hursh notes hav
died away every mnn begins to run
his nppolnted station. Rome make to
wurd the grent barbettes, where tho
12-Inch guns nre snugly sheltered
some for the armored casements Iso
latlng the 8-Inch weapons; others run
to the light, quick-firers, mounted
upon th© super-structure. Others,
again and those mostly non-combat
ants (If any such can he In a ship of
war), hurry below to tho shell-rooms
nnd magazines.
The great shells for the barbette
guns are being placed on the hydraulic
lifts. A lever is pressed and up they
go. Another moment and they have
reached the breech of the gun. A gun
ner closes the heavy mechanism of the
breech with one hand. "Run out bor
der* the officer of th* turret. Another
lever does the business. The enormous
weapons glide smoothly outward, their
long necks projecting overboard as the
barbette la trained. A dozen men and
on© officer complete the crew of th©
pair of heavy guns. The officer stands
upon a little iron platform, peering
above the turret, with A vole* tube kt
hla ear. The captain of the turret Is
peering through the telescopic sight*.
Glance into one of th* Isolated case
ment* Th© thick armored door Is shut
now, inclosing th* 8-Inch gun and It*
crew In * box of steel. The gun has
been cast loose, trained on th* beam
and loaded within four minute* of the
bugle call. Reserves of shot and shell
are being whipped up into tb* case
ment through a round aperture leading
to th* shell-room below. Twenty or
thtrty rounda soon ar.cuimilate. and
th* gun's crew will stake their live*
against the entry of a shell through
th* casement Here, too. Is an officer
waiting direction* through a vole*
tube. The men hav* stripped to their
ary that was formerly so noticeable
when auch a charge was effected, and
the end is apparently distant.
To what extent th* charges preferr
ed by Miss Cleveland may be true Is a
matter upon which there Is bound to
be a difference of opinion, but there Is
no denying the fact that they open up
field of thought which might be pur
sued with profit by those so hasty In
their condemnation of the business
woman.

Municipal dentists are appointed and
paid for by many of the large towns
and cities of Germany. In Straaburg,
for example, 2,666 children were exam-
amlned last year, 699 teeth were filled,
and 2,912 were extracted. Th© method
work Is simple. The teacher brings
his class to the dentist, who exam
ines each mouth quickly and mark© on
the card each child has brought
whether treatment is necessary. If so,
the child must come again on a Sat
urday. Russia is also Joining In this
movement, and has already fitted up
nine such Institution* In St. Peters- j

why so late in coming, one might ask.
it is true that, generally speaking-
good teeth are necessary to good health
and long life, and if, also, a large and
growing proportion of citizens have

A Suggestion by Way of Amendment
to the Lady Aristocrats' Proposal.
From the New York Evening Telegram.
The Health Protective Society
Brooklyn has been meeting again, and
if some of the ladies connected with
that estimable institution can manage
It, we are to be reformed with a ven
geance. It appears that there are quite
number of matters that the women
object to in the present Imperfect
scheme of things, and they do not
hesitate to say so. But the crying evil
is thnt workmen are permitted to ride
on the street cars. Mrs. McFnrllne,
who did the verbal grappling with the
workman evil, Is quoted as saying:
"They carry a pickax In one hand
nnd a spade In the other, and their
clothing Is covered with mud nnd
lime, which rub off In contact with the
garments of others. Why can't there
he separate cars for these working
people?"
When another member in whom
some sense of tho practical side of af
fairs seemed to abide, asked whether It
was proposed to bring about this
change by running separate cars on
which but a 3-cent fare waa charged,
the concensus of the host opinion of
the society was that it didn't Interest
the organization what was charged so
long ns these objectionable toll-stained
persons were kept off tho cars.
In the speculation that followed It
was almost agreed that It might per
haps he necessnry to stop Immigration
to eradicate the evil complained of,
but even the most sanguine of the re
former* doubted whether much could
be done along that line. Still, they
have nppolnted a'committee to take
hold of this nnd other matters that
need looking nfter, nnd that body will
begin work at once.
But. merely by way of suggestion,
why does not the committee, instead
of trying to got rid of the laboring
class by the method suggested, urge
tho providing for separate car* for
women? Many men would favor auch
an Innovation. For on© thing, th*
nervous mnn in a hurry does not look
with a wholly favorable eye upon th*
tlni* lost In loading and unloading
men on cars. Their presence, too, In
terferes with indulgence In the gra
clous solace tobacco affords.Besides,
cars were made specially for women,
feminine Ingenuity might suggest many
little comforts and conveniences thnt
the Inconsiderate rushing nnd crowd
ing of the present mixed system ren
ders Impracticable. Hassocks for shop
plng-wearled feet, hand mirrors, with
©very seat In tho Interests of solving
thnt ever present problem of the
©terns! feminine, "Is my hat
straight?"
Many other little conveniences could
he suggested. In fact, the more It
contemplated th* more allurlryr the
suggestion becomes. Why not separate
cars for women?
No Excitement In It.

RI8E OF THE BUSINESS WOMAN
An Increasing Demand for Capable end
Competent Workers.
From the Detroit Free Pre3*.
Discussing the decline of the "office
girl" end her supersedure by the "bua
lnes* woman." Miss Matae B. Clev
land, manager of the Business Wo
man's Exchange of Chicago, declares
that the demand for femininity for of
flee work la constantly Increasing, and
the opportunities offered the woman
thoroughly trained In business affairs
is practically unlimited. No longer,
according to Miss Cleveland, do em
ployera seek for feminine machln**
whose labors are covered by a given
number of hours, but th* demand
for women Intellectually equipped
perform more than routine tasks,
take the initially* In matters thnt may
arise, capable of Independent thought
nnd competent to grasp the Inner
workings of a business organisation.
The advantages of woman office em
ploy*. according to the same authority,
are that:
8h* keeps the confidence of her em
ployers more faithfully end la less In
clined to discus* his affairs and the de
tails of his business outside of offlc*
hours than Is the man employ*.
H*r work 1* more neat In appear
ance.
Her habits are more regular. She
doe* not spend her evenings tn dissipa
tion. and consequently invariably la at
her desk on time. 8he rarely Is ab
sent from the t office. Illness being the
only excuse which she recognises aa
legitimate.
Bh* appear* not to hava any rela
tives to bury.
