upon our feet upon the steps and upon the buildings and from that one great circle of light email circlet bulged out and In the centre ot the circles stood a gigantic figure of a human being with

The Bister Associate afterward came up to the gate and told her experience which coincided with our own If I bad teen thIs vision by myself onl should have felt that God had granted U Tor tome merciful purpose ot His own but as three other people at tbe same time saw pre- cisely ¬ the same thing I felt convinced that our Lord had given to us these apparitions for reasons and among them I belled lrr had given them for the Church of England and for tbe comfort of those Ik the oater world Knowing well what the consequences be I determined to give a public testimony to these apparitions At I expected a torrent of abutp and ridicule ponred upon us Many of our friends deserted us and at far as pecuniary help for our services and charities was concerned which totally de- pended ¬ upon voluntary offerings we lost a great deal h In the midst of all thlt storm we had a lot ter from a man not many miles off a who said he believed he might b healed through this vision and he asked would tend htm some leaves from the bush Wbor the apparition had so many times I wrote to him and said Oertalnlynot until God hat given mo a token that He meant miracles to be worked In that way Some days afterward I sent to each of our nun at Slap ton In Devonshire at memorials of Gods won ¬ ders among us pieces ot a wild rhubarb leaf which bad stood np dark against the dazzling tents of the apparition aa I appeared In te inib- ow among onr nuns was one middleneed lady who had been a cripple for thirtyeight years She bad suffered from abscesses in the hip joint and from a contracted knee She had bad Intense suffering elno f he wa and the had not been put root to the ground for all those thirtyeight years On the t morning of the day when this leaf arrived the Bisters meditation at the

also published In the local papdr I knew then that God had given me a sIR and so when letters came to me by every post alklnl me for these leaves we never refused There have been many other healings but people ar so sensItv that even when they receive do not I like to let I be known and have their names published In the spring ot 1885 a young roan travelled several miles to my missionary service at Torquay to show me a miracle that had been wrought upon his tear which had been pro- nounced ¬ Incurable by tbe doctor For fifteen months the disease ha been sapping aWRY his streuctb He bad three doctors One of them had said It would be many ytart before he was well while another had predicted that he would never he Ho showed me hit I healed leg wellaln oured by one of tie leaves Blnoe then I

a flood of light on the subject For Instance those round and saucershaped stonea of various sizes were old to play a game similar to quoltt at which the Indians gambled InBtsa of pitching the stones they rolled peR Tbe wedgeshaped ttonet were employed dress hides while the email ones were used to work sinews with Their tomahawks were of a separate shape and their axes Instead of having tbe handle

110 month Bo las Commissioner Morgan In hit plea for an increase ot salaries for the American Indian judiciary and his assertion dOe not seem extravagant DeRide the administration ot justice to red men on lines laid down by the whites sometimes exposes the Indian bench to unpopularity- and this should be remembered In the pay Yet we find the highest and usual rats ot salary given to Indian Judges during the last fiscal year to b only f8 a month while at the Pawnee oo and Mcscalero agencies It wns only 15 It the Oren Bay nnd the Yakama only 417 The reduction to 5 sol nrleswan plainly due to the small number of India at those agencies and to the fact that the court sat only seven months In a year In ¬ stead of eight a In other Instances Bnt h Yakama and tho Oren Dar agencies ore very largo tbe former 1075 Indians and the latter 3320 with eight months sessions so that the annulI earnings of their Judges were unquestionably meagre In the Puyallupagen- cy we tee a exceptional system Tbe usual number ot Judges In an Indian conrt Is three except tbat at Bhoohone agency there are four at Pine Ridge and Sllotz one each and at Umatllla two nut at Payalluo we find sixteen and the small appropriation for this agency accordingly required tat the salarits of six of them shonld be I 15 a month and the other ten 8 a month each Commissioner Morgan therefore now asks that these ten 13 salaries shall be raised to 5 and that this shall hereafter be tho minimum for our Indian judiciary At the last session Congress added 5000 to the judicial appropriation BO that for the current year wo find 08 Judges at 20 agen- cies ¬ of whom 05 will have 10 a month each 10 Judges tB per month 23 Judges I per month and the remainder They will also be able to Hit all the year s An ambitious

and that na Comllour Morgan pars In spite of crudi ¬ anoOlllos and dlsBdaullesthershnlld have and Influence uotceable delro To say the truth It seems to have been high time for Congresn to Interfere and provide salaries since prior to 1833 the Judgesas the official reports show gave voluntary service or were selected from tbe polico or paid them- selves ¬ out of tho tines imposed or collected In tho first case the service must have de- pended ¬ much on personal convenience In the second tho ludco may also sometimes have been both Sheriff and accuser in the third the temptations tu conviction may have seemed too great for Ideal justice However during tbe last fiscal year a total appropriation of- isooo by dint of careful buxbandlnir and by closing the courts for onelhlid of tbe year allowed them to be maintained at twentylive agencies For tbe present year the appropria- tion ¬ was doubled In the practice of these courts tbe Indian police officer usually makes the charge and the Judge alter weighing the evidence sub- mitted ¬ on both sides renders tbe decision which the agent then reviews Tho report from Devils Lake shows that It Is a rare thing for the agent there to
