CLERGYMEN MUST PAY
THEIR RAILROAD FARE
So far as passes are concerned
clergymen except in the rarest
cases have been placed on the
same footing as other persons
According to the Hepburn law
preachers and those who aire de
voting the- whole of their time to
charity are exempt fro provis
ions In the past most of tihe
western roads have been issuing
pas33 to such persons Tins yeai
rt is different and rarely is an
exception o be madte
Railroad passenger men take
the posiiBon tihat they can safely
issue passes to clergymen and act
ual charity workers and not vio
late the terms of the Hepburn
law but in most states the local
laws prevent such use of passes
and in order to be ou the safe
side and not show any discrimina
tion the clergy and charity pass
es have been shut off Omaha

popularly known as the Nogis who
wi5 captured near Oroville Cal re
cently A report was received trorn
Charles L Davis one of the agents
of the hureau in which he reconi
niened that the lone Yana be cared
tor by some member ol an allied
tribe This it was said probably
would be the course adopted
After a year or two said Mr
Davis he doubtless would be able
mm
Ishi the Wild Man
to look after himself become a mem
ber of the band and live as they do
This lone Yana Mr Davis believes
is the last of a group of four or flvej
Indians who for years had lived In
the virtually inaccessible haunts ot
canyons along the Feather river
Several years ago a party of surveyors
he reports adds evidently drove them
irom this seclusion and in the at
tempt to find another hiding place all
of them perished save the old man
taken a tew days ago He is an ex
pert Mr Davis says in imitating
the calls ol wild animals showing he
has preserved the wiles of the savage
to allure the wild game to him
The capture of this man is of the
utmost importance to anthropologists
says Protessor Kroeber of the Univer
sity of California He represents a
dialect that we supposed was extinct
He is more of an aborigine than any
of the Indians we have been studying
for the last ten years
shi is so densely ignorant that ne
does not know what money is tor
money has been of as much use to
him as it was to Robinson Crusoe
Ishi is not very strong his muscles
are not well developed and when he
grips the testing machine as hard as
he can he makes a low record He
talks in high keyed musical tones
Msh have something ol the pam

Miuats on his ankles He dips up

Scene of First Protestant Settle
ment in America I
Colony Was Early Founded Near Port
Royal on the Shores of South
Carolina and by the Hug
uenots
Port Royal S C The first Protes
tant settlement in America was made
on the shores of South Carolina not
far from the present town of Port
Royal and by the Huguenots This
colony came out under the leadership
of Jean Ribaut in the spring of 1562
This settlement of South Carolina by
a Protestant colony antedates that ot
the English settlement of Virginia by
45 years and was 58 years before the
arrival of the pilgrim fathers at Ply
mouth Mass But this settlement at
Port Royal did not have the success
that was hoped for it and had to be
abandoned not before seed had been
planted however that bears its fruit
to this day
On landing one of the first things
the Huguenots did was to unite in a
service of thanksgiving to God for
their safe arrival They erected a
monument to commemorate the occa
sion To quote fiom the Rev Dr
Vedder The stone pillar of John
Ribaut was the corner stone of the
temple of Protestantism in the West
ern hemisphere
It was not until after the edict of
Nantes October 16S5 that the great
immigration of Huguenots to Soith
Carolina took place Four prominent
settlements were made one on the
Santee river one on the Cooper rivei
one at St Johns Berkely and the
other in the city of Charleston One
r 1 i1 1 illl I
might
urn me iimps umgeei wir ot the first steps taken by each of
serve as nnirkers during the vlny 1 these colonies was toward the estab
lishment of a church wherein they
worship
according to their
faith
The Huguenots of Charleston make
two distinct claims outside that of
having the only Huguenot church in
ly tS l i iht Tifi fl 81
Where Huguenots Worshiped
America One is that theirs is the
first church organization established
in South Carolina and the other that
they were the first to carry the gospel
to the state outside the city of Char
leston
The first Huguenot church organiza
tion was about 1G81 2 In the ceme
tery surrounding it lies entombed the
dust of many who have slept there1
for more than two centuries the pio 5
neers of the church On the tombs
are engraved names that have be--come
historic in the annals of South
Carolina
The present building was erected in
1845 It is stone in Gothic style with
ornamental masonry extending In
pointed columns above the roof It
suffered greatly as did all of the
churches of Charleston from the
rible earthquake of 1886 The first
church building was burned in 1740J
The congregation took steps to erect
another which shared the same fate
and still another which was also
burned The present building stands
today unique in history the only
Huguenot church in America
