It is many years since the Toscarora i Indians have held a "condolence," a ceremony which to the red men is ' similar to the inauguration of a presi dent by the whites says a Niagara Falls correspondent of the Chicago I Inter Ocean. - In explanation of this an old chief ays that the Indians no longer look upon the ceremony of a "condolence" with the reverence of old. The Tuscaroras are the adopted children of the Six Nations, and they say that the Onondagas, the. firekeep ers of the nation, practically have dis qualified themselves for this honor able position, and that the Tuscaroras no loDg-er look up to them as children are wont to do to & parent for advice and help. - From these feeling between the adopted; children and the leading tribe of the Six Nations, it is evident that the Indians are clinging closer to civ ilization and the white man's customs, and that a chasm is opening between the Indian tribes of the state- As a re sult of this severance of tribal rela tions the Indians of western Ne w York are looking forward to citizenship.

Here is a physician living in a city of 56,000 inhabitants, with a practice of $20,000 a year, of which he collects $12,000. "The most Eucef -r'W rracti tibners in my town," 1 e says, "are two young men who spent a rear each in Vienna and Paris, apparei: study ing the latest methods and cures. AH that they knew they learn ad right in New York, but the mere fact of their having taken a course or two in Europe, or having pretended to, has given them a vogue which no one who has never been abroad can appreciate.
