Duties averaging 25 per cent, of 1he cost of every outfit bought anywhere in the United States in tut be paid every person going to these mints upon entering Canadian territory.

The customs post etablished at the foot of Lake Togish is at the junction of the Skagway and Dyea trails over which the goldseekers travel on their way to lite Klondike. It is guarded by an armed force of twenty-five men. The miners who bought their siipplie at Seattle and other places In the United States were an angry crowd whfcn they arrived at the Tagish lake cub-Hoins. post. Those who had cash had to pay 25 per cent, of the cost of their outfits, and those ho did not have money had either to give up one-quarter of their year's provisions or remain at the post for a few weeks sawing wood and helping to erect the government barracks.

The men ho had bought their outfits in Victoria, which is in Canada, upon showing their papers passed on out delay and ithout payment. Some of them were lucky enough to find rich mines at Klondykc before those detained at Lake Tagish, sawing wcod for were able to reach the diggings. The railway fares are the same to Victoria as Seattle und miners' supplies are as cheap. Miners for the Klondykc who buy their outfits at Victoria, from "which, steamers for the mines are leaving almost daily, will save one-quarter of the cost of their outfits by purchasing at that city hich is the capital and fommercial center of British Columbia.

Heautiful hair gives many a woman a claim to beauty which would be utterly wauling 1( the locks were short and scanty. It Is almost as serious a loss when the natural hue of the hair begins to fade, and the shining tresses of chestnut nnd auburn are changed to erayor to a laded shadow of their former brightness. Such a loss is no longer a necessity.

There is one remedv which may well be called a great remedy by reason of its great success in slopping the falling of the hair, cleansing the scalp of daudrufr, and restoring the lost color to gray or faded tresses.

GET THE CEXl'lXE ARTICI-EI Walter Baker Bflmo Interesting information Concerning Certain Indian Tribes. flow De Overran Hie Coonlry of the Five tlvlllatod (lonit-Tlie ro-atonns and the Knrly Srttlern An Ancient Powder Horn, It seems to me that I am haunted by Indians. The other night as came from Macon to Atlanta my friend, judge Hall, Introduced me to Dr. Peterson, of St.

Louis, a very learned aud cultured gentleman who was connected with the ethnological department of the government aud was engaged in examining Indian mounds and In writing up the history of the Indian tribes, especially of the five tribes known as civilized, the Cberokees, Creeks, Chickasaws, Choctaw and Seminoles. As these were our Indians, 1 became much interested In his discourse, for he had been careful and diligent in bis research, and what be knew, he knew well. We talked about De Soto nnd how, with a handful of brave soldiers, he overrun this cbuntry and took captive many Indian girls as his men wanted. "Why did not these Indians overwhelm De Soto and his handful of followers and extinguish them?" I asked. the were paralyzed with fear of this new and aggressive race of people just as the Peruvians Were paralyzed by Pizarro, who overran and conquered Peru with less than a hundred men." The doctor has been to eastern North Carolina investigating the tribe of 4,000 Croatoans over there.

They were originally called Hatteras Indians, but about 300 years ago Sir Walter Raleigh planted a colony of English and Portu-gueseonl'oanokeislandand put them In charge of Gov. John White, a Very practical and accomplished gentleman. A few days after White's daughter Eleanor, who had married a Mr. Dare, gave birth to a child and she was named Virginia, nnd so Virginia Dare was the first English child born on American soil. Let the boys and girls remember that.

Put no man knows anything more about her. Gov. White and Sir Walter went back to England 'or supplies and fanning tools for the colony and on their return trip got into a fight with some Spanish cruisers and lost their cargo and many of their men and had to go back to England, and it was several j'ears before they made another venture, and when they arrived at the island the colony was nowhere to be found and little Virginia has never been heard of. The colony left some marks on a tree pointing to an Indian town called Croatoan, but the town was deserted. The doctor's investigations have satisfied him that the not perish nor were they killed, but that the men wan.ted wives and went into the interior and co-habited with the Croatoans for it was found a hundred years after that these Indians were of mixed colors and many of them spoke broken or mixed English and Portuguese, although they had no intercourse with white people until the colony came nor for a hundred years after.

He believes that Virginia Dare probably grew up with those Indians and her descendants are now of mixed blood. It seems that these Croatoans were never Americanized until the last civil war, when many of them came to the front with their guns mid said they wonted to fight some. They were accepted and enrolled and did fight for the confederacy. During the war there was an election held in a county where seme of them lived, and they were persuaded by an ambitious candidate to go to the polls and vote for him. Their votes were challenged by the other fellow upon the ground that they had some negro blood in their veins.

They were very indignant and said: "When you want us to fight for you, we are same as white folks; when we want to vote, you say we are nagurs." And so a committee of four doctors was appointed to examine them and say what they were. The committee took them out to a sandy place in the road and had them take off their shoes and make tracks barefooted. Five of them made fair Anglo-Saxon tracks and were accepted, but of the other two the report was that the hollow of their feet made holes in the ground, unci they were rejected. There are some of these Croatoans on Newman's ridge, in Tennessee. ,1 remember that, some years ago, a parts' of us were riding in the negro ear on the state road, nnd when we reached Kingston a colored convention of preachers got aboard and claimed the car.

Sanford Pell ordered us out, and we retired, of course, but one man did not move. He was a dark, cadaverous individual, with black eyes and black hair. "What are you?" said Sanford; "are you a white man or a negro?" He smiled and said: "Mine feeler a rortugce, mine mudder a na-gur." Sanford looked perplexed, and turning to one of the colored preachers said: "What must I do with him?" And he said: "Let him alone, I reckon." I learned afterwards that he was a Croatoan. And now to keep up the Indian sensation, 1 am receiving papers from the territory that acquaint ine with the peculiar situation of tbe tribes over there. What shall be done with their lands is the great question.

The Dawes commission appointed by congress wants to divide the lands per capita and let tbe Indians sell them or part of them to the white men, if they choose. The Choctaws will get 700 acres each, and a family of ten will therefore have 7,000 acres and will be tempted to sell most of it. The full bloods do not want the lands divided, but tbe mixed bloods do and they are in a large majority, and so in few years the Indian's autonomy will be gone forever and he will be extinguished as a ward of the nation. In a few years the five civilized, tribes will ted. Wlint Sitd finale to a once proud, rich and happy race of people.

These paper tell of an steal and a steal, and say that now a big rullroad corporation has got a finger the pie and the Indians land must go. Enough votes will be bought in congress to force the allotment bill and then will come a second Oklahoma. In speaking of these things, Dr. Peterson got excited and said: "This tint Ion Is a nation of robbers, and it Is and always has been a niuxlm of Anglo-Saxon people: "That they may take who hav the power, And they may keep who Speaking1 of Indians haunting me, I received a letter from a northern geti tlcman asking me as a great favor to gel for him an ancient ante-bellum powder horn one with a history, if pcssible. Well, tbey are nil antebellum, and so I found one that had been laid aside for half a century one that carried powder in Jackson's war with the Seminoles in Florida, and litis the odor of dead Indians and no doubt has been In at the death of bears nnd panthers and wildcats Innumerable.

I remember when these powder horns had rank and standing in the house and children looked upon them with fear nnd reverence, but one day the percussion lock came along and soon after the breech-loader came nlong, and the powder horn was hung on 0 high nail and has been hanging there ever since. Like the Indian's bow nnd it has surrendered to the march of progress and civilization. Pill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution. BAD INDIANS OF ONEIDA. Iterord of Old Abe Antone and Fnm-lly In (he Early of New Vorlt.

"They banged old Antone and I'll give 'em chance to bung me some tlayl" yelled Alexander Antone, as Officer Wilcox, of Oneida, dragged him into the police station the other day. "I murder you before long, do you hear?" be shrieked again and again as the officer cxasperatingly paid no attention to his ravings, but calmly dragged the red tnan to a cell. As the heavy iron door closed with a crash he broke out again like a maniac, shrieking blood-curdling threats and curses. Alexander Antone, says the Oneida Union, boasts that he is the grandson of Abrara Antone, one of the fiercest savages ever known in this vicinity. Abram was born on thebanksof theSus-qtiehanna in 1750.

His father was a Stockbridge Indian and his mother was the daughter of an Oneida chief. When one reviews the life and bloodthirsty deeds of the offspring of this pair, one cannot wonder at tbe savage instincts which show in the blood of his progeny. In 1798 Abram had some trouble with an Indian who distributed government allowances to the Indians, ne claimed he had been defrauded, ne met the agent at Chenango Point, at the raising of an Indian house, and at the feast, after the work bad been done, deliberately shot the man through the heart and calmly walked away. Nothing was done toward bringing him to justice. His most atrocious deed was the murder of an infant child.

He came home one day and found the baby crying. He was in on ugly mood and seized tbe child from its mother's arms, raked back the bed of coals, and buried tbe infant in the flames of tbe fireplace. During his career he lived in Canada for some years. A white man insulted squaw there and Abram' resented it. He was struck across tbe fnce by the white roan.

His blood boiled, and from that be followed bis enemy until he had an opportunity to plunge a knife into bis heart in a hotel bedroom. In or about 1810 Abram's daughter Mary received attentions for time from a young Indian in this county. He transferred his favors soon, however, to another dusky damsel and married her. Mary killed her rival, for which she was arrested, tried, convicted nnd banged. One John Jacobs, a half-breed, had been a witness against her and Abram considered him the cause of her death.

lie swore to kill him and Jacobs fled, and returned only when Abram sent him word that he would not molest him. He was hoeing Porn in a field with others one day when Abram approached, shakingbands with each. As he approached Jacobs be said: ''How d'ye do, brother?" and drawing a knife from his left sleeve plunged it three times into tbe man's body. Abram got away and then began a life of many narrow escapes from officers of the law. lie had a wigwam in what is now tbe town of Sherburne, nnd where two whites found him one day peacefully making a broom.

He waited, as they advanced to capture him, until they were close at hand, and then pointed iiis rifle suddenly and ordered them away. Tliey went, and later Abram used to laugh as he told the story nnd emphatically boasted that his gun was empty. He grew bolder as time went on and used openly to enter villages nnd towns with apparently no fear of being taken. At last one in whom be had confidence betrayed him. He was induced to enter a trial of skill at shooting, and when his rifle was empty officers seized and captured him.

He was hanged in public at Morrisville on Friday, September 12, 1823. Utica Observer. GEMS OF THOUGHT. Some of the noblest heroisms of the world have been achieved in humblo life. Life is real it is a real and earnest thing.
