LO GOES TO SCHOOL.
22,964 Indian Children Were En
rolled Last Year.
Washingrton, March 2. The twenty
ninth annual report of the board of In
dian commissioners, of - which Merrill E.
(rates is chairman, has been submitted to
Secretary Bliss. It says that in the gen
eral condition of the Indians no important
chances have txturmi. but there is evi
dence of a steady progress in industrial
pursuits and education.
The board thinks the agreements of the
Dawes commission with the Choctaw? and
Chickasaws in the Indian Territory have
one serious defect. They make no pro
vision for some thousands of Oh icasa w
freedmen. whose rights as citizens the
povernment is bound to protect. If This
defect can be remedied, prompt ratifica
tion of the treaties by congress is urged.
Mention is made of the enlarged and im
proved facilities for Indian education in
augurated during the past years, and fig
ures a re given showing that the enroll
ment in the 20 schools of all grades, in
eluding contract and mission schools, for
J M7 was 2l.l4. The sta tist ics presented
are regarded as highly significant and full
of hope for the Indian race. It means,
the board says, that in a few years a gen
eration of Indians will be raised up very
different from any that have lived before
a generation educated to speak and read
and write the language of the people
among whom they dwell, of whom they
are destined to be a part, and trained to
habits of industry in many mechanical
arts. The average attendance of pupils
at Indian schools has increased from 3.'tt
in 1?77 to ls.6Tti in 197. The schools of
the five civilized tribes and of the New
York Indians are not included in these
figures.
Considerable progress In the allotments
of lands to the Indians has been made
during the year. Nearly 60.000 allotments
in all have been made since the practice
was begun, so that about one-third of the
red men, including those in the Indian
Territory and New York are now in pos
session of their own lands, and have the
opportunity of establishing individual
homesteads and of gnining support by
t heir own labor. The commission is
strongly of the opinion that the allotment
system is a good one. that as a result of
Indian labor there is a gratifying errowth
in their productive industries, which war
rant the hope that the time is not very
far distant when the issue of rations and
other supplies to the Indians may be
brought to an end. Unfortunately, the
report says, much of the land allotted to
the Indians is in the arid regions and is
unlit for productive cultivation without

an expensive system of irrigation, and the
board concurs with the commissioner of
Indian affairs in recommending an ap
propriation to aid in works of this char
acter. Considerable protrres has heen
made in irrigation work during the year.
The case of most urgent need for future
(it-veropment in this line, it is stated, is
that of the Pima and Papauro Indians of
Arizona, whose water supply for irri
gation purposes was cut off seven years
ago by the extension of the Florence
canal. The board recommends provision
for a supervisor of irrigation and super
intendents of constructed ditches.
CHART OF ALASKAN COAST.
Government Expedition Will Begin on
One Soon.
Washing-ton, March 2. Government work
in the way of reducing to record the chan
nels, anchorages, harbors, navigable
water bodies and other important features
of geography in Alaska will be carried
on this summer and expedited as rapidly
as possible. Superintendent Pritchett of
the coast and geodetic survey has com
pleted the plans for the season in Alaska.
When the season opens. Lieutenant
Helm, with the coast survey steamer Ged
ney and a steam launch will begin work
in Cook's inlet. As the ice leaves the
vicinity of the mouth of the Yukon river
a search will be made for such anchor
aees and harbors south of the delta am
f'r a channel in the Kusilvak siough.
This feature of the field campaign is of
the greatest importance to navigation, as
at present vessels entering the Yukon have
to follow a channel running in from a
point many miies north of the delta. The
government experts, however, expect to
tind an easy and direct entrance to the
Yukon. If these anchorages and har
bors are found as anticipated, immediate
publicity will be given to the fact, so that
navigators may take advantage of them
during the coming season. Meanwhile a
large launch will be taken in sections to
Pt. Michael island at the mouth of the
Yukon, to be set up there in charge of
Mr. Pratt, and a survey will be made of
the region from Cape Dyer to St. Michael,
extending inland through the various
sloughs to the head of the delta.
The two parties will make a compre
hensive survey of the shoals lying off the
river's mouth. Every effort will be made
to collect material for such a chart as the
growing importance of the great river de
mands. The lower portion of the Cop
per river, now becoming prominent
through extensive gold discoveries, will
be investigated and the practicability of
its navigation definitely determined.
Other parties will make detailed examin
ations of the Chilcat, lyea, and Skaguay
passes.

THE FATAL HOUR.
The first faint flush of dawn was stain
ing the eastern sky and the birds were
wating sleepily into song when an old
man stepped out on the back porch of a
little farmhouse. He gazed for a moment
across the valley, veiled with a thin, float
ing mist, and then shambled toward the
wood shed, his old carpet slippers dragging
at the heels aa he went. There was a look
of anxiety and apprehension on the old
eian's face, and he sighed as he stooped to
fill his arms with the freshly split sticks.
"I hope to goodness she's f 'got it, " he
muttered as he glanced furtively toward
the house. "Yet Maria ain't the kind to
f 'get, specially a thing like that. Ef she
dreams a thing three times runnin, she'll
remember it till doomsday." So saying,
he straightened laboriously up and carried
his armful cf wood into the house.
"Breakfast's 'most ready, Maria," said
the old man at length softly. "I thought
I'd git it, see in as you didn't seem to foel
like gittin up. "
The woman turned a pale, set face to
ward her husband.
"Jonathan Martin,"' she said in a uol
emn, hollow voice, "be you so heartless
that you can't remember the day of your
wife's death? Don't talk to me about
breakfast or any other worldly thing. I
must prepare for the hour of my depar
ture, and it's rapidly drawin nigh."
She turned her face to the wall again,
and her husband tiptoed disconsolately
back to the kitchen.
"I knowed it, I knowed it," he groaned.
"Maria never f'gits a sign. This is the
day for that tarnal dream to come true,
and she's expectin it."
The Martins' house was in a lonely spot
some distance from the nearest neighbor
and six miles from the nearest town of
any size. To this town Jonathan had de
termined to drive that morning and secure
tho services of a doctor. The poor man
himself was at his wits' end. He had
learned by long experience how useless it
was to argue with his wife on the subject
of signs and omens, in which she was a
most devout believer.
Xot even tho sound of rapidly departing
wheels roused the old woman from her
half lethargic condition. Her mind was
fixed on the approach of the fatal hour
foretold in her dream, and she had no
more doubt that she should die at the ex
act moment than that the sun would set
that evening after her eyes had been closed
forever to its kindly light. She lay mo
tionless, except whon at long intervals she
turned her head to gaze upon the hands of
the faithful old clock. Then she would
drop back upon the pillow and closing her
eyes resign her whole being to a kind of
ecstasy of waiting.
One o'clock, 3 o'clock, passed. At 4 the
spirit of Maria Martin was to take its
flight, according to the omen. Already
tho old woman could detect death creep
ing icily in her veins and benumbing her
limbs. She felt the hand of fate fraying
the silver cord. In two hours it would be
only a straining thread, and suddenly it
would break. Tho world would vanish
with a roaring sound, and would sink,
sink
But hark! Wheels crunch through the
gravel at the gate and tho soft thud of a
horse's hoofs is hoard on the turf.
JonathaD left his horse unhitched and
came helplessly and hopelessly into the
house. The doctor at Elmore bad gone to
attend a dangerous case and was not ex
pected home until the next day. There
was no other doctor who could be reached
in time. With science unavailable to fight
superstition, what could be done for the
fanatical old woman? Jonathan's heart
was like lead, for full well he knew that
no man is with .ut authority save in his
own household.
He noiselessly changed his boots for the
carpet slippers and stole into the chamber
where his wife lay. The stupor of ap
proaching dissolution seemed to be upon
her. She neither spoko to him nor seemed
conscious of his presence.
The old man sat down at the foot of the
bed and waited. A strange paralysis
seemed to be creeping over him too.
At a quarter to 4 Mrs. Martin turned
feebly upon her pillow, looked at the clock
with half open, dimming eyes, and sank
back with a long trembling sigh. Her
face became drawn and ashen pale. Jon
athan spoke to her. but she answered not,
nor stirred an eyelid. The silver cord was
almost frayed through.
Then the old man slowly and softly
picked up his chair and crept toward the
clock. His slippered feet made no sound
on the carpet, and his every nerve was
alert with caution. He gently opened the
door of the clock case, mounted the chair,
slid h hand up to tho bell on the top oi
the wooden works and removed it.
One swift, apprehensive look over his
shoulder and the old man seized tho min
ute hand and whirled it suddenly around
till it passed the hour mark and stopped
at full five minutes beyond. Then he
stepped down off his chair as softly as be
had stepped upon it, closed the clock case,
slipped the bell into his coat pocket and
once more resumed his seat at the foot of
the bed.
The old clock ticked on. The minutes
glided away. Still tho gray haired woman
on the bed drew the breath of life, but her
face was growing more and more pinched
and ashen. It would not do to postpone
the crisis too long.
"Maria!" The old man's voice was
sharp, 6trong, imperative, and a quiver
swept across the eyelids of the half con
scious woman.
"Maria! The hour has passed !"
The old woman started up with a con
vulsive movement aud looked wildly at
the clock. For 00 years the old heirloom
had stood to her for tho very gospel of re
liability, the regulator of the planets. She
would sooner have disbelieved the testi
mony of tho sun than that of her mother's
heirloom. And yet to her staring eyes the
venerable dial proclaimed 10 minutes paet
4, and the omen had not been fulfilled.
The blood slowly stole back into the
blanched and withered cheeks. The numb
ness melted out of her limbs like April
frost. She thrust her feet out of bed and
Fat bolt upright. Then with a deep, won
dering, grateful sigh she caught the loose
strands of hair in her hands, wound them
up deftly into a coil and said:
"Jonathan, bring me a couple of hair
pins out of that tray on tho bureau, and
then go and start up the kitchen fire and
fetch a panful of potatoes and the cold
meat out of the suller. I b'lieve I'll get
you and me a bite of supper." Princess.
High Authority.
"George, you must not squeeze my hand
so hard."

of Ecclesiasces, "Whatsoever thy hand find
eth to do, do it with thy might?' Don't
you try to stop me again, you Impious
