Chief of Ukiah Tribe Dies at Age of
107.
Ukiah, Cal., May 25.—Charles Pen-
io, the oldest chief of the I'kiah tribe,
is dead at Cox ranchero and the In
dians are celebrating a death feast.
Penio was 107 years of age, and
ruled the Ukiahs long before the white
settlers arrived and the death ot
many whites lie at his door. He was
judge and jury for the tribe, but was
deposed al>out 25 years ago for killing
Sam Warden. Warden and another
Indian had quarreled over a game ol
cards, and the other Indian was killed.
Penio was sent for and had Warden
tied to a tree to be shot. He dodged
the first bullet, which so rnfuriat #
the chief that he seized an ax am!
chopped off Warden’s head. Penio
was held in jail for several months,
but none of the Indians could be in
duced to testify against him.
Penio had always resented the er>
croachment of the whites and was
considered dangerous. He was buried
in Indian style, with his pony and
war implements.

Buttle of Hull Hun In.lueed Miss
tluru lliirton to Sturt Soviet}’.
Miss Clara Barton, who has resigned
the presidency of the American Bed
Cross society, is in her seventy-fourth
year and was a clerk in the pension
bureau at Washington at the outbreak
of the civil war. says the New York
Herald. After the disastrous light at
Bull Bun. in which the Sixth Massa
chusetts—a regiment from her own
state and in which she bad many
friends—met with severe losses, Miss
Barton hurried to the field of battle
and aided in the care of the wounded.
Realizing that an organization of
some kind or other to nurse the wound
ed soldiers was becoming daily more
and more necessary, she organized a
band of resolute women, whose names
have gone down in history for their
fortitude and courage during the four
long years of the war.
Inspired by her work for the wound
ed soldiers and aided by the provisions
if the Geneva conference in 1864, Miss
Barton at the close of the war directed
ill her efforts to the organization of
he Bed Cross society and was elected
ts first president in 1881.
Since that time she has been actively
engaged at the head of the members
»f her society, which lias spread to the
farthest corners of the globe, in the
•are of the dead and wounded in war,
famine and disasters of every descrip
tion.
In 1808 she added to her laurels and
made the lot of the American soldier In
Culm a more bearable one, and it is
said that many of those who were
wounded or taken sick during the
Cuban campaign owed their lives to
the careful nursing of Miss Clara Bar
ton's Bed Cross baud of nurses, who
iceompanied the army.
STANLEY’S FINGER STORY.
Afrien 11 IOx|ilorer*N Novel Fsperlenee
Willi 11 IliMliiiKiiiMlieil Scientlnt.
No better epitome of the late Sir
Henry Morton Stanley’s career has
been conceived than that given by him
self in his “story of four lingers,” says
the New York Tribune. On the Afri
can explorer’s return from finding Liv
ingstone, he said, lie had the honor of
a public reception by the Royal Geo-
graphi al society and the especial hon
or of being presented “to an exceed
ingly distinguished personage in the
scientific world,” who regarded him
with condescending favor and even
went so far as to shake bands with
him. “lie gave me,” said Stanley,
“one linger!”
After bis second and third adven
tures, his explorations of the lakes
and his opening of the Kongo to civ-
Lizatiou, lie was again publicly re
ceived, and this distinguished person
age regarded him with even more fa
vor than before. Again be shook hands
with him. “He gave me two fingers!”
Once more Stanley went to Africa to
rescue the faithful Emin, and on his
return he was a third time publicly re
ceived. A third time the distinguished
personage condescended to smile upon
him, still more approvingly than be
fore, and a third time to offer him bis
band. “He gave me three fingers!”
Yet once more Stanley appeared in
public, with a fair companion. Miss
Dorothy Tennant, who a few mo
ments later was Lady Stanley. There,
once more, the distinguished personage
was present and so far condescended
as to beam upon him with unreserved
approval. “The throng was too great
for me to get near him,” said Stanley,
“but 1 have no doubt that bad I been
able to do so be would once more nave
offered me bis band, and on this occa
sion lie would have given me all four
fingers!”
Society is sometimes dragged down
to a low standard by one or two peo
ple who propose, in every case, to
fight everything and every idea of
which they are not the instigators.

r- Anothcr club woman, Mrs. Haule, of
Edgerton, Wis., tells how she was cured
of irregularities and uterine trouble, ter
rible pains 1 and backache, by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound*
“Dear Mrs. Pixktiam: — A while ago my health began to fail
because of female troubles. The doctor did not help me. I remem
bered that my mother had used Lydia E. Pink hum’s Vegetable
Compound on many occasions for irregularities and uterine troubles,
and I felt sure that it could not harm me at any rate to give it a trial.
“I was certauiiy glad to find that within a week I felt much better,
the terrible pains in the back and side were beginning to cease, and at
the time of menstruation I did not have nearly as serious a time as
heretofore, so I continued its use for two months, and at the end of
that time I was like a new woman. I really have never felt better in
my life, have not had a sick headache since, and weigh 20 pounds more
than I ever did, so I unhesitatingly recommend your medicine.”—Mrs.
May Haule, Edgerton, Wis., Pres. Household Economics Club.
