Christmas day was very generally observed in this city, and all the mer- | chants declared with a wunanimous | | voice that this holiday season is the | best that Oakland has-ever known for local trade. There has been more money in circulation, and everybody | has been doing more purchasing than for years. During the past few days | a canvass was made among the mer- | chants by a local paper, and there was | but one opinfon regarding the new era | that has positively commenced for Oakland’s merchants. This condition has caused a general feeling of merri- ment and thankfulness that is mani- fested all over Alameda County. Splendid programmes were carried | out at the churches, and the regular | choirs were greatly augmented for the | festive occasion, but in many instances | | some of the churches will hold their | special services to-morrow. At the First Congregational, First i Presbyterian and Unitarian churchesi DAWSON IN URGENT NEED OF RELIEF | Food Running Short in the Klondike Metropolis. Returned Alaskan Says the Reindeer Expedi- tion Is a Necessity. Supplies Can Be Packed Over the Skaguay Trail to Lake Bennett. GOOD ROAD FOR HORSES | Extends From the Harbor Over the Passes to the Yukon Head- waters. Special Dispatch to The Call. PORT TOWNSEND, Dec. 25.—The steamship Farallon, Captain Roberts, arrived here at 7:30 o’clock to-night, six days from Skaguay, with eleven pass- engers. When the steamer left Skaguay it was snowing hard, and rough weather was experienced most of the way down. 'The steamship Al- Ki was passed off Sumdum at 10 | on the night of the 20th, and the Co- rona was passed in Greenville Channel on the 23d. Among the passengers on the Faral- lon was G. W. Roberts of Spokane, who comes out to purchase.seventy-five horses for immediate use in packing over the Skaguay trail to Lake Ben- nett. Roberts asserts that there is a Sheldon Jackson sailed on the Cunard steamship Lucania to-day on his way to Norway, whither he goes as special agent of the War Department to buy 500 head of reindeer, which the Gov- ernment is going to use in forwarding supplies to miners throughout the val- ley of the Yukon River. Willlam A. Kjellmann, superintendent of the Gov- ernment reindeer herd in Alaska since 1890, is now in Sweden on the same er- rand. It is believed that he will have the new herd all selected by the time | Dr. Jackson reaches his destination. Dr. Jackson will go to Christiania first, and, if the animals are not picked out, he will have to go farther north along the coast of Norway, probably as far as Hammerfest—the most north- erly settlement of Europe. Dr. Jack- son will also purchase complete outfits to go with the reindeer—sleds, harness, etc.—and expects to hire several driv- ers experienced in the management of the animals, who will return with him, bringing their familles with them. SNAPSHOTS OF INDIAN BABIES The whole world loves a baby, whether it be humen or belongs to some of the lower orders of creation. When looked upon with kindred eyes this bit of celestial element of human- ity, be it white, black or red, never fails to attract sympathy and atten- tion. There is an argument in the study of babies that points directly to the common origin of man, for their habits are exactly the same in all climes and under all conditions. Thereis one thing that a woman with a camera can hunt, find and secure trophies of that is sacred from the blood hunter—the man with his pow- der and bullets—and that is little In- dian bables. Indian bables are just like white babies in one thing—their the young rascal cares nothing so | that a good living target is furnished. | From the time he is born until his | fifteenth year the Indian baby lives | the perfect life. He knows no care | and has not a want; he fares as well as the best in the tribe; his days are spent in play and the enjoyment, like the little animal that he is, of eating | and sleeping; his thoughts are not for | books or work, he knows that he hcs | a place to sleep and that if any family | has anything to eat he can share it. | His clothing is sufficient for his needs, which are brought within the limits of the supply. His toys are homemade ara his games are traditional. | ‘What then could afford a better tar- get for the camera than this pet!ect' human animal? He has an individu- | ality it is true and a name, but his | animal instincts are predominant from | the beginning. His mother gives him his name at birth—a name that is | never told, but is kept as secret as the | sacred name of the Almighty. The | boy gets his name from the skies | and the girl from the earth, rather | paradoxical to be sure, but I have tried in vain to convince the Indian mothers that it should be the other way. When it is known that the boy is the delight of the father and the girl looked upon only as a chattel which will bring value later in life it is not so paradoxical after all. It is not an easy matter to photo- graph an Indian baby. They are hedged about with superstition in most cases and avarice in others. The mothers, until they learn the ways of the whites, are much afraid that some harm will come to their little ones if they are shot with a camera, and after they find out that it does no harm then they place an extraordinary value on the privilege. The little ones them- selves learn this money idea early, and it is not an uncommon thing to see a whole squad of them fleeing at the top of their speed just because they were not paid as much as they thought they | were worth for the few minutes of posing. Sometimes one can get pretty pic- WORSHIPERS AT ST. LUKE'S CHURCH, VAN NESS AVENUE. the Christmas services will be celebrat- ed Sunday. To-day very elaborate ceremonies were conducted at the Epis- copal churches. The places of worship are. beautifully decorated, and the Church of the Advent is a veritable forest of greenery, through which the large vested choir marched at the opening of the ceremonies. St. John's, St. Andrew’s and St. Paul's are also tastefully decorated, the new St. John's being treated very geunerously by the decorators. At St. Patrick’s there were six masses celebrated, and Rev. J. B. Mc- Nally preached. “Alary’s Grand Mass" was sung at St. Francis de Sales’, the soloists being Mrs. Goodsell, Miss M. Myer, Miss Murray and Miss Whelan. No one sent donations of turkey to the prisoners at the City Jail and Coun- ty Prison, aithough there were many visitors and several individual meals taken in. Clara Fallmer's guests were 80 numerous that she appeared to be holding a continuous reception this af- ternoon. SLUMMING. Slumming has been dabbled in as children in white cambric frocks poke at frogs along tle margin of a pond with pink parasols. English persons were the first to parody the lifeworkof certain great men of the last fifty years by performing in this matter of visit- ing the poor in a way which left nothing to the imagination of the ed- itors of Punch. They had only to copy as they had copied the fantastic art of the esthetic school, which made good taste grotesque. In this coun- try the best papers have endeavored to show up, as they ‘always do, amy absurdities, the offensive charity of the call by the rich in broughams and the twenty-five-cenit donations, which have invaded the dignity of poverty in worthy families who are starving.— Rose Hawthorne Lathrop. good winter trail out from Skaguay, and that with a little more snow it can be used for sleds with horse teams. He says a good road is now completed to Summit Lake, and there is a good path clear over to the lake, with the exception of a mile and a half that must be broken by each party that goes in. He has been with the Thorp party and helped it cache five tons of provisions 100 miles inland, where they will be left until spring travel opens. Mr. Roberts says he is personally ac- quainted with several of those who re- cently came out from Dawson City, and, after talking withe them, he {s fully convinced that there is urgent need for the success of the Govern- ment rellef expedition. Dr. McLaren, who was one of those in charge of the Plerre Humbert ex- pedition that started in two months ago via the Pyramid Harbor route and Dalton trail with eighty head of cat- tle and six tons of provisions, was also a returning passenger on the Farallon. He reluctantly admitted that the ex- pedition would not succeed in reaching Dawson. Many of its horses and cat- tle fell in their tracks and had to be | shot down. The Farallon brought down the body of Samuel Wyckoff of Tacoma, who dled suddenly at Lake Bennett re- cently of congestion of the brain. SRl DR. JACKSON SAILS IN QUEST OF REINDEER. Starts For Norway to Purchase the Pack Animals For the Kiondike Expedition. NEW YORK, Dec. 25.—Rev. Dr. absolute rule of the household. From the time that tender Providence brings the tiny red baby to see this sun of ours it comes to rule, and many are hts orders before he begins to see the law or before any law whatever can make him flinch from the God-given authority as reigning sovereign. Indian babies are good subjects for the camera for they seldom or never ery. I have heard, the little. imps of eight years, more or less, howl with rage because of some opposition to their will, but the babies do not be- come imps until they obtain knowledge of the world. Then they are just like little white boys, they get bad; but the little bables are all “good babies.” ‘What white baby would submit for an Instant to being tied to a flat board, with pieces of moss between its feet to keep them straight, or, if it should be unfortunate enough to be a girl baby, with the moss packed between the heels to make it “toe in” when it gets older? The red baby takes this treatment philosophically, and will hang for hours tied to the board and wrapped in cloths until it would seem that all consciousness except of sight would be obliterated, and there will never be a whimper to indicate that all is not well. ‘When it is remembered that this mummy life is continued for several mionths one ceases to wonder that in after years the grown-up baby wishes to revenge himself upon all humanity for the inflictions of childhood. This revenge idea begins early, too, in the little boys, and they no sooner get possession of their infantile bows and arrows than they take great delight in inflicting suffering upon animate nature that comes their way, and Wwhether it be the village dog or some old woman tottering toward the grive 1 houses of straws and sticks probably received the idea from their savage ancestors ages and ages ago, for the red children do exactly the same and have just as good a time as we did in the “days of make believe.” There is one kind of game, however, which I have never been able to photograph among the Indian children, and that is the kind wherein kissing comes in as part of the pleasure. The Indiany do not kiss. Story-telling is a favorite amusement among the Indianchildren, and If yyou see a group of them gathered about some old crone listen- ing with rapt attention you may be sure that they are hearing a ghost story or that she is telling thttm of the “Kitchi Manitou” or bad spirit, who carries off and eats bad Indian boys just as the mythical “bad man’ tl}ut our nurses used to terrorize us with were supposed to put bad little white boys in his sack and carry them off. The difference between the two races is, however, that while the white boys soon learn to disbelieve the stories the Indian‘believes in the “Kitchi Mani- | tou”” until his dying day. ‘While my husband was fortunate enough to get plenty of good hunting during the three weeks we spent In an Indian village in Arizona, he has no trophies to show for his pleasure, while I have a collection of photo- graphs that will be a constant re- minder of the days devoted to chasing the Indian baby to his home and se- curing specimens that adorn none of the walls of my hunter friends. BESSIE MORGAN. MESSAGES FROM THE SEA. A bottle dispatched from the steam- 46 degrees north, 31 degrees west, alq most midway between Brest and New ) ship Guildhall on May 31, 1894, when in( foundland, was picked up on ngru- ary 13, 1896, at Antigua, after a drift of about 4500 miles. It had evidently passed close to the Azores, the Canary Islands and the Cape Verdes on the way. Another, thrown overboard from the sloop Sapolio on Juyly 20, 1892, trav- eled eastward toward the Azores, and thence, as in the previous instance, un- til it was recovered near Turk’s Island, north of Haiti, on February 8, 1896, at- ter a drift of nearly 6000 miles. A bottle message from the sailing ship St. Enoch is probably the most in- teresting of the eighty-two drifts shown on the United States chart just issued. It was sent off when some 700 miles west of Sierra Leone, under the influence of the well-known Guinea tures of the cunning ers as they appear at the open- ing of a tent or when they have walked outside in indignation over some fancied ill treatment, or they may be quickly snapped while reposing in the blanket on the broad back of the unconscious mother who does not know the meaning of the little black box carried in the hands of the white woman who has invaded their village, and it s usually these chance pictures that are the best. There is no prouder moment in the life of an Indian boy than when he brings into camp his first game—the beginning of his life of predation. He is surrounded by all the members of the tribe and congratulations are showered upon him in such numbers and of such a character as would turn the head of a debutante in civiliza- tion. He is the guest of honor of the tribe, and his rabbit or bird is made the central figure of the feast which follows. Catch him at that moment and you have a picture that may be counted as one of the rarities of a col- lection. ‘ He feels proud when he takes his first scalp, but that pride is not equal to the exaltation that is his when his ar- row has pierced his first wild animal. Little girls have their dolls and min- iature household utensils, but the boy with his bow and arrow apes the man and longs to be a warrior, and this first successful hunt is utilized by his elders as a stimulant to his imagina- tion, until he goes out Wwith other fel- lows of his age and commits depreda- tions on . white farmers and brings about trouble that may cost the lives of many of his people. My camera tells me that white boys have no monopoly on spinning tops or flying Kites, for I have pictures of In- dian boys engaged in both pastimes. I have one, also, that shows a group of red boys and girls playing that time honored game, hide and seek. Nor are the religious ceremonies of the medi- cine men any more sacred in the eyes of the little Indians than are the ob- servances of the Christian churches to the young whites, for I have one pic- ture that shows the little scamps mim- icking the most sacred dance of the tribe, just as white children will play at church and mimic the prayers of the minister. . White children who make play- little ) creep- current, setting eastward on to the Af- rican land. The master of this vessel noted on the message that she had ex- perienced an easterly current of thirty- six miles during the previous day. Hence there is reason to suppose this messenger was swept eastward until some incident occurred to transfer it to a current setting in a westerly direc- tion. Once on the latter route, how- ever, it passed leisurely along through the passages of the Windward Isles, escaping contact with any land; fol- lowed the trend of the Atlantic coast of North America till clear of New- foundland and thence onward to Tota- brough Walls, Shetland Islands, whers it was found on March 20, 1896, after having accomplished a drift of nearly 8000 miles in less than 1000 days.— Chambers’ Journal. —_—— .
