TAHAN, INDIAN LECTURER,
[LIVE skinned, le eyed, aquilined nose, with hair in three braids
as black as the’ raven's wing, Tahan, the Chautauqua lecturer,
Indian of the best class—educated, an ordained Presbyterian
scholar, lecturer, musician and altogether charming gentleman.
He will give his great le ture. "From Savagery to Civilization,” on the
opening night of the Chautav ua. His life story reads like a ‘yellow back’
novel. and it is worth going wiles to hear him tell of the many hairbreadth
escapes he has had on the frail and the many close calls he has had during his
life jon the plains.
Tahan’s mother was an Osage Indian. His father was California Joe, a
white scout with Custer’s band. Both were killed #efore he was three years
old. He was taken by an Indian warrior in the Kiowa tribe and was raised
in true Indian style. In his Chautauqua address he gives a most dramatic
and intensely interesting and instructive account of his early Indian life.

ULTIMATUM 1S PRESENTED
President Herr Thinks Strike Is
Broken; Anounces Men Who Do Not
Return at Once Will Forfeit Record.
Following the refusal of President
Herr of the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing company to grant
the demands of the men for an eight:
hour day, the plant has been thrown
opcn. A large proportion of the
men went to work, but no esti
mates have becn made public as to
the number. President Herr belicves
the strike is over. :
Pickets were on duty near the gates
of the plant and Pennsylvania guards
men patrolled the district. They had
nothing to do. There was no vioieice
the men merely requesting their fel
low workmen to remain out.
At a mass meeting, where the lead:
ers, by implication at least, signified
tat the eight-hour day was a hope
less undertaking at this time, at least
half of the men attending refrained
from voting to go back to work be
cause of the rage of some of those
present when a motion to submit such
action was proposed. A few de
ncunced the calling of the strike, but
were soon hooted down.
