Never, in all the history of Pine Ridge has there been such a mixed assem- blage, and the probabilities are that when these present Indian troubles shall be ended no such congiomeration of mortality will again be seen here. HOW To GET To PINE RIDOR. Pine Ridge is not difficult of access. ‘To the south of it and not far away is Rushville, a station on the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley railroad. Just how far Pine Ridge is People & matter of twenty-two or twenty- Thero is but little of diversity in the ride from Rushville to the Ridge.

During the past year My. O'Neill re~ signed and Mr. Samuel Wilson, also a member of the police force, was detailed in his place. Mr. Wilson bas had numerous cases brought to his attention. INTERESTING CASES. There are one or two which were of more | than usual interest. One was the case of a white woman charged in the Police Court with ney. As she had two small children with her when arraigned Mr. Wilson at once became interested. He found upon investigation that the woman and children were living inn dis- reputable house of the lowest character kept | by a colored woman. He found that tne mother was addicted to drinking. The judge released the woman on her promise to reform and the children were placed incharge of Agent Wilson. He vent them to the Washington City Orphan Asylum and the mother became an inmate of the Hope and Help Mission. Photographs of the children taken at the time they were found by the agent and after they had been in the asylum for several months are in the sion of the society. If the soc had | jone nothing else during the year thin to bring the light of bope and joy into the eyes of the abject, forlorn creatures, ax shown by these two photographs, it is certain the verdict would be from every heart open to sentiments of pity that the year's work had been a profitable one.

Thos. B. Campbell, the president, was in the chair, with Mr. J. L. McGee, secretary, and Mr. M. G. Kemball, corresponding secre- tary. In order to correct the erroneous im- n existing in the public mind as to this fence, a series of resolutions were presented and unanimously adopted setting forth that this association, numbering as it doca mor2 than seventy members, of whom nearly all are resident owners of real estate in said park, cordially approves the decision of the District Commissioners to keep Linden street open us anorth and south thoroughfare; and that, to the best of their behef, nearly all the non- ‘operty who are not members of this association also approve said decision; and that, in their opinion, the per- sistent efforts of a few men former obstruction in Linden street have been detrimental. to the interests of the park; and, yht in anyone to erect Gr maintain ‘an obstructl park streets is inconsistent with the right of pressi resident owners of such finally, that’ the claim of cway of every lot owner. — and untiring effort, the act for the protection leven days after the President had ignature to the bill, President Mac- Arthur issued an address calling a public meet- the 27th of Febi this address it was stated that up ‘‘to the pres ext time there has been no statute law in the in the remotest degree on this rotection of children. ‘The meeting was largely attended, and it was the nam of the society In | inviting. maintain the ion in any of the —_ REV. DR. DEEMS. An Eloquent Address on the Subject of City Evangelization, Rev. Dr. Charles F.

Rev. Dr. Bart- lett presided in the absence of Postmaster General Wanamaker, who had been asked to preside. A letter was read in which he re- gretted his inability to be present on account of the condition of his throut. He expressed his sympathy with the work of the mission. Mr. Kimball, chairman of the building com- mittee, made a statement as to the amount re- being without sufiicient clothing and food. The children were sent to the orphan asylum, where they have the chance to grow up to lives of usefulness and respectability. The number of cases of this and a similar character is shown by the statistics given in the annual report of Agent Wilson, where it is stated that during the year 114 children were taken parents or guardians and sent to asylums, reformatories or other homes. During the past six years the agent of the society has found homes for no less than 514 children. PROTECTION OF ANIMALS. This work for children is done quietly and the only features in an expanse of wind-swept landscape, such as the east knows nothing of. A few miles out of Rushville commences a Sparse growth of stunted tiees, bare and un- Gradually the scenety undergoes a change. Rocky eminences, partially elad in brown grasses and dotted here and there with patches of light snow, begin to diversify the appearance of things. Hills and gullios are of frequent occurrence and then the pine trees commence to be visible. They are of no real value, these pines, but they provide the traveler with firewood and suffice to give to the agency and the immediately surrounding region a name that has been more frequently printed and talked of than the name of any other center of population in the United Stat ‘TRE SETTLEMENT. On a triangular section of the plateau made triangular by the courses of Wolf and White Clay creeks, is the settlement of Pine Ridge. Tt is @ little less than two miles from the Ne- braska northern boundary line, and is in the northwest corner of the big basin. As comfort is measured in Dakota it is probably a pleasant location, but no sane resident of Washington would wilfully elect to spend a couple of win- ters at Pine Ridge if he or she could remain in the District of Columbia. A gruesome sort of welcome mutely greets each new arrival, for the first object to attract attention is the little cemetery with its more or less crude efforts to mark the last resting places of a good many tired mortals. Then comesa church; not a very large or 8 very im- posing structure, but a good deal better than the average frontier place of worship. ‘The two yellow crosses—one above the entrance, the other over the bell-tower—-proclaim it to be Episcopalian in itscharacter. Mrs. A. T. Stew- art, widow of the millionaire New York dry goods dealer, built the edifice sboutten years ago. Now it is temporarily being used as a hospital for those who were injured in the fight at Wounded Knee.- Piled up against the exte- rior are the seats, taken out when circum- stances compelled good worksand faith to go hand in hand. A few yards tg the northward is the parsonage, the home of the Rev. Mr. Cook. The western end of the little settlement is devoted almost exclusively to religion and busi- ness, two churches, three stores and a hotel being the only buildings worthy of special mention. The stores are neither spacious nor stylish. In competition as to appearance al- most any kind of a store in Washington would walk away with the prize, but if the strife was a purely business on2 the Washington store- keeper would have to get an exceedingly rapid move on himself i’ he wanted to be in the pro- cession. ‘THE HAUNT OF THE INDIAS. ‘The stores ure log or frame structures, in- By 10 o'clock in the evening the whole squab- ble had been arranged amicably. In the coun- ils of the National League the Boston trium- vire had consented to placing an American Association Club in Boston.

At 10 o'clock Thursday night President Byrne of the Brooklyns invited the newspaper men and lobbyists in to listen to the reading of the new national ment before tite ae sembled dignitarics of the Nati League, American and Western Associations and now Players’ League. Everybody was converted in the best humor. The new agreement provides for aboard of three, which shall control the workings of. the associations. It destroys the sales system and black list, but continues the reserve rale in effect. Players whose salary is not paid may secure their release from the clubs which are in arrears for fifteen days. Many important changes are made, all looking for the elevation of the game and justice and harmony as be- tween players, managers and capitulists. The three presidents, Young, Thurman and Krauthoff, signed the agreement on. the spot and it was unanimously adopted. Mr. Byrne of Brooklyn offered a resolution thanking Messrs. Thurman and Spalding for bringing about the settlement. Col. Rogers Paying, « splendid tribute to Mr. Thurman. F. Prince of Boston also lauded Mr. Spalding, and Messrs.

The new national agreement provides for » national board composed of one delegate from each of the base ball organizations, who sholl determine all controversies, look after the gen- eral enforcement of the agreement and protect the rights of all the organizations unde: this agreement. ‘The members of the board shall be elected for five years, but any member may be removed at any time by a two-thirds vote of the association which lected him. This board has almost unlimited power:. It will keep a record of all contracts and agreements with umpires and between clubs and players gEmanagers. It shall amend and enforce the joint playing rules, may impose ali tines and penalties and may suspend anybody who in its opinion has been guilty of conduct detrimental to the welfare of the game.

Commissioner Morgan Talks on the Subject Before the Y. M. C. A. An interesting talk about Indians was given last evening in the parlors of the Young Men's Christian Association by Indian Commissioner Morgan. He pointed out some mistaken notions which were entertained in regard to the red man. He said that the statement had been made that the government is supporting 250,000 Paupers in idleness as a result of its Indian Feather Edyes in every color and different ‘widths and prices.
