INDIGNANT FISHERMEN. Newfoundland’s Strong Protest Against England’s Action. PLACENTIA, Newfoundland, Jan. 3.—Yester- day’s public news announced the deplorabie fact that the modus had been agreed to between France an indignant public to dseertainif the report was 1 Crowds assembled near the Post- terms con demned the pr pene en act. so i ote ee ‘ ested that the British flag orn ogersA Court-houge and the Stars and Stripes be hoisted in its stead and America appealed to for protection. The Governor will be urged to Call & meeting of the Legis- lature to condemn in the strongest terms the cowardly act of Premier Whiteway in con- senting to & renewal of the modus vivendl. In March last the whole people of New- foundland protested against the unparalleled indignity which Great Britain off¢red to the colony “by ratifying the modus viveridi with France; without submitting it beforehand for the sanction of the Legislature. The arrangement, the Im al Goverment said, was only temporary, and was framed to meet a pressing necessity. It was intended to buy peace between the s#bjects of the two great nations and to pave the way toa final and satisfactory adjustment of the difficulty of the colony. Above all; it was submitted to the colonial executive of theirapproval. On that occasion Great Britain did not presume to affirm that her act was legal; om the contrary by consulting the executive ot the colony, she tacitly admitted the right of the community of New- foundiand to become a party to any act which varied or diminished their sovereignty or possession. But what she did then apologet- ically she does now defiantly and under pre- tension of lawful authority... Lord Knutsford had lately informed us that Her Majesty’s Government claims and intends to exercise the right to conclude a transaction on which the most precious possessions of Newfoundland are the subject. without sub- mitting tothe colony so much as the mere basis upon which the hegotiations are to proceed, Nor did his Lordship claim this power with our property temporarily. He distinctly asserted that the conduct of nego- tiations for a comprehensive settlemient of the. whole question of the French fishery rights must rest entirely inthe hands of Her Majesty’s Government. BRUTAL BRITISH OFFICERS. HALIFAX, Nova Scotia,Jan. 3.—The evidence of Lorenzo Ring in his chargeof brutality against the officers of the British ship Selkirk has been taken to the hospital where Ring is under treatment. He states that the Captain knocked him down with a blow because he was unable’ to take his turn at the wheel, and that that officer as- saulted him on several other occasions because he did not perform his duties as quickly as the Captain thought he should, The First mate also assaulted him with a be- laying pin and hurt himso severely that he was unable to walk and had to crawl around on his hands and knees. He was also refused food and made to suffer intensely from hun- ger’as well as from his injuries. DANGEROUSLY STABBED. A Boarding-House Keeper Assaulted By a Ruffian. A marked cuff led to the arrest of Frank Denton, who may yet be compelled to answer to the charge of murder, Denton is a barber living at 1516 Pine street. About 5:30 o’clock yesterday evening he went, together with Charles 8. Schultz and Oscar Mann, tothe furnished room house kept by Mrs. Dora Lehman at 1315Chestnut street and demanded to see the landlady. They were shown to Mrs, Lehman’s room and when the woman appeared, commenced a quarrel. The dispute resolved itself into a war of words between Mrs. Lehman and Denton who finally, in his rage, drew a razor and slashed the woman across the abdomen at the same time forcing her across the room through the glass door ofa front win- dow. The woman’s husband put in an ap- peesence and started to her assistance. schultz and Mann interfered and kept him back. The alarm had been given, however, and as the ihijured woman sank to the floor, Denton and Schultz dashed from the house and made heir escape. Mann remained behind and was taken into custody by Sergt. Jones and Officer Schoppe. He refused.to give the name ofthe man who had done the cutting and for awhile the of- cers were at a loss for a.clew asto the man’s dentity. Asearch of the room was made and mn one corner, near where the _ cut- occurred was found a cuff had been dropped by the unknown in the struggle. On the linen was marked ‘‘Frank Denton, 1516 Pine street.’’ Special Officers Danaher and Freeman at once went to work on this clew and two hours later arrestedDenton andSchultz,finding them in the house atis South Fourteenth street. After Denton had been positively identified ‘by Mrs. Lehman, the prisoners were placed in the holdover at the Four Mrs. Lehman is dangerously and perhaps fatally hurt. A _ physician was called to the house soon after the as- Sault, and found that two horrible gashes had been cut in the woman’s abdomen. Each wound is almost eight inches in length,several of the intestines being penetrated. Itis not expected that she will recover. She is 23 years old and well known in police circles. Schultz claims that a few evenings ago he was robbed of $15 while in a_i saloon by a woman living at Mrs. Lehman’s house, and went with Denton and Mann tothe are in order to seeif he could not secure the return of his property. He started totellthe particulars of the cut- ting, but was interrupted by Denton, who advised him to keepquiet. Schultz is a print- er. Atalate hour this morning Mrs. Leh- =e was reported to beina precarious con- on. STRAUSS’ photos lead the rest, Strauss’ photos are the best. OBITUARY, The Late Gen. F. E. Spinner to Be Buried .

NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan. 3.—The interest in the coming Dempsey-Fitzsimmons fight is be- coming intense, and indications are that the largest crowd that ever attended a ‘‘mill’’ in this city will be present at the Olympic Club rooms on the night of the fight, Jan.14. The Contest Committee of the club are doing everything in their power to make the patrons of the club comfortable, and no expense is being sparedto make the ap- proaching battle the best managed affair of the kind ever reported in the annals of pugilism. The referee will be chosena couple of days before the fight and he will bea prominent club member. From all reports Dempsey and Fitzsimmons are doing nicely, and the latter refers to the fight with an air of confi- dence that would terrorize a less game and experienced man than the Nonpareil. Much money has already been wagered on the re- sult, with Dempsey always the favorite. Jack McAuliffe, the champion light-weight of the world, and Denny Costigan will second Dempsey, while ny Carroll, the well- known light-weight, oc O’Connell and Johnny Griffin, the Braintree (Mass.) feather- weight, will do the honors for the Australian, North St. Louis.

Drummond Is Objectionable to Them—The Huntington (Pa.) Mimers on Strike—Birmingham Troubles Still Unsettled. WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 3.—The appoint- ment of O. L. Drumniond of New York to be Chief of the Secret Service Bureau of the Treasury Department is not satisfactory to the Knights of Labor her’. This position is one which has a peculiar tnterest for the plate printers ,of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The Chief of this bureau has always been an important factor in the trade-fights which have been going as to whether steam presses and cheap labor shoulb or should not supersede hand presses and skilled labor in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. This has been one of the principal fights that the Knights of Labor have conducted against the Government. Mr. Bell, the late chief of the bureau, was emli- nently satisfactory to the Knights, but against Drummond’s appointment they pro- tested. Nextto Furlong of Missouri he was the most objectionable candidate. Furlong is the man who did the detective work for Jay Gould during the labor strike on Gould’s Mis- sour! Pacific Railroad three years ago. He Is also said to have done some important work for President Harrison during the last campaign, and Russell Harrison has been moving heaven and earth to have him appointed: But the labor organizations have made*®that impossible. The- appoint- ment, though important, is not a presiden- tialone. Itis made by the Secretary of the Treasury, and fhe salary is $3,500,, but the privileges are much more important than the salary. Drummond held a subordinate position in the service from 1871 to 1888, and since then he has been running a private de- tective bureau in New York City. Mr. Bell, the last chief, is now the manager of the Hygienic Ig¢e Co. of Newark, N. J. Among the other canditates who are turned down by this appointment is Mr. Ed. Abbott of Ohio, who had been in the service for many years and who was backed for the ap- pointment by Representative McKinley, the author of the fatal tariff bill. McKinley can’t get anything more from this administration. In this connection it may be interesting to state the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is now on the yerge of a crisis. Some trade question led tothe discharge of the Master Workman and several other leading Knights of Labor. Grand Master Workman Powderly has been in Washington some time trying to fix the matter up, but has had to go away without completing the task. Mr. Hayes, the Secretary of the Executive Board, is com- ing down to make further fivestigations and there are quiet rumors around that if the knights do not get satisfaction in the matter, Capt. Wm. R. Meredith of Chicago, the pres- ent chief of the bureau where Uncle Sam’s greenbacks and other securities are printed, may take up the pose yi one of these mornings and read someth ng not exactly to his advantage or to the advantage of the Federal administration of which he forms a part. AMONG THE WORKERS. HUNTINGTON, PA. Jan. 8.—The miners in the Broad Top and East Broad To bitumi.- nous coal flelds went Out on a strike yester- day. This step was the direct result of the advanced position assumed inthe early part of the week by the Clearfield miners, and affects about 3,000 men. These dissatis- fled miners are but rly equipped to endure an extended strike at this time, as they have been only working about half time for several months, An indirect cause of the strike was the threatening attitude of Ber- wind, White & Co., the leading operators, in reducing their output and giving, it is cafled, warning to the coal-ca ng companies to Tay in a sufficient supply for most purposes. The present attitude of the increase of 60 cents from a ton, is indicative of a stubborn and pro- 8,—The st tracted fight.

Late yesterday afternoon Deputy Coroner Meade held an inquest at the Four Courts in the case of Lineman John Hanlon, whose hor- rible death among the wires near Fourth and Olive streets Friday afternoon has so aroused the contmunity toa sense of the dangerous condition of the municipal electric wires. No .Jurywas ca.jed inthe case. The testimony ofthe other lineman at work with Hanlon atthe time of the horrible accident was given sub- stantially as reported in the PostT-DISPATCH. A brother of the deceased, living in Sullivan, Mo., was present and testified to the age and social condition of his relative. Notwith- standing the fact that Dr. Brennan was unavle in his post-mortem exam.- ination to definitely ascertain whether death was due to the shock from the wires or from the falltothe street. Mr. Meade returned a verdict to the effect that ‘‘John Hanlon came to his death on Jan. 2, a few minutes after 12m., from the ‘effects of anelectric shock, by him received froma defectively insulated electric light wire be-- longing to the Municipal Electric Lighting & Power Co., while at workasa linemanona pole located on Olive street near Fourth in the. city of St. Louls.’’ Hanlon’s relatives ve remains from the Morgue for inter- ment. REMARKABLE CURES. The Deaf Hear and the Blind See at Mrs. Woodworth’s Command. — ANDERSON, Ind., Jan. 3.—Mrs. Woodworth to-day and to-night has effected several won- derful cures. A gardener named Brothers and a carpenter named Mabbitt, both afflicted with chronic deafness for years, both announced their cure. They are well-known, reputable people. : One of the most remarkable cures is that of Mollie Bowers, a prapoossens young woman from near Alexandria, and a woman of more than ordinary intelligence. Twelve years ago, when quite young, she was at- tacked with measles, and the disease left her totally blind in one eye and the sight of the other much impaired. The young lady, kneel- ing upon the rostrum, pleaded with burning fervor that her eyesight be restored, The prayer was‘a remarkable one, in which the fair petitioner recited her trials and temptations and the grevious annoyance that the loss of her eyesight had@ been to her. Mrs. Woodworth laid her hands across the young lady’s eyes and, quoting a passage of scripture appropriate to the occasion ,com- manded her to arise. She did so and saw. For a few moments sne stood bewlldered ,and finally realizing that her eyesight had been fully restored she turned to her father and fell upon Nis neck, sobbing bitterly. ALTON HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

TO DOUBLE ITS CAPITAL. - — — The Capacity of the Yards Being Increased —A Meeting of the Big Four in St. Louis and What the Butchers Think it Por- tends. The matter of increasing the capital stock of the Union Stock Yards of this city is being discussed by its stockholders: At present it is capitalized at $500,000, and it has been sug- gusted that this amount be doubled. A num- ber of improvements are now being made at the yards and the capacity of the place will be considerably increased when they are finished, These improvements consist of a very.large barn just west of the old yards in which it is proposed to carry on the horse and mule business of the concern. The horse and mule trade there has been increasing rapidly, and the old quarters became inadequate. Besides, more room was needed for the cat- tle, sheep and hog business, so it was deter- mined to erect new and separate quarters for the horses and mules, and use the old stalls for other live stock. IMPROVEMENTS MADE. These new quarters are now about com- pleted, and while they will be more roomy and elegant than the old stalls, the move will also greatly increase the capacity of the yards for handling and caring for cattle, sheep and hogs. A number of. other pens for the use of this class of trade are also bein built between the new horse an mule department and the old stock yards proper. It is these improvements, the management state, which led to the sug- gestion that thecapital s*‘ock of the ¢com- be incresed, butthey claimitis now } an youbtful whether they will raise the capital. They had first contemplated making more expensive impovements, but say that they will probably let mattersrest where they now are and not increase the capital at all, but use the earnings of. the company to pay for the improvements already made. Itis believed that these im- provements were also made partly to take care of the increased business the new Mer- chants’ bridge is apt to bring to the yards. + MEETING OF THE BIG FOUR. There has also been a sto afloat that the ‘‘Big Four’’ of dressed Armour, Hammond ris contemplate but this is denied by the officers of the Union say that.there have been no overtures what- ever made to them bythe ‘‘Big Four,’’ or any of the representatives of these menor anybody else. It has been claimed by the local butchers, however, that a meeting of the representatives of the ‘‘Big Four’® was held here a week ago yesterday, and these lo- cal dealers are greatly exercised over th matter. They think the meet- in portends no to them, and that the dressed beef magnates intend to freeze them out as they did the small dealers in Boston and other Eastern cities. Attempts have been made before by the dressed beef mento controlthe ratail market here, but they have met with only very limited success. While their branches here do fair business, they by means comn- trol the meatshop bers ofthe local Butchers’ no control the trade, the small b secure cattle to slaughter, but tronize the moneyed mem ut werful combine, for combine it ractically become.

His Troops Said to Have Been Driven Back With a Number Killed—No Ghost Dances at Ponca Agency—The War to Be Carried Into Congress Next Week— Other Incidents.. _ . f Fort Yates, N.D., Jan, 3.—A large nym- ber of the young warriors of the Stand- ing. Rock Agency have gone south to join the hostiles in the Bad Lands. The discovery was made onissuing rations that many did not come to the agency, and one of. the friendlies stated that they had armed themselves and gone to join the bands in revolt. How many have gone is only conjecture, but the indications point to at least 1,000 desertions. The Grand River Sioux have been fomenting trouble ever since the killing of Sitting Bull, Dec. 15, and they have not been slow In manifesting their intense anger to Agent McLaughlin. “Most of them regard the taking off of the old medicine meh as murder outright, and it has been common talk - for three weeks that the reds would accept the first opportunity offered to massacre the whites. The dispatches sent out from this point that the Indians were glad that Bull was removed were gross exaggerations, concocted here for the purpose of allaying the feelings of the Kast. The detachment of the Eighth Cavalry under Capt. Fountaine «will. move rapidly southward, and Company H, of the Twenty- second Infantry, now near New Engiand City, will come to this point and move thence southward to aid in squnelching the uprising. Troops are also in readiness to take the fleld from Ft. Lincoln, and the detachment of the Twenty-fifth Infantry at Ft. Keogh is ex- pected tomarch inasoutheasterly direction to-morrow. Every hour increases the num- ber of hostiles, and Gen. Miles proposes put- ting men endugh in the field to crush the re- calcitrant savages in a week or ten days. THE SITUATION UNCHANGED, PINE RIDGE, 8. D., Jan, 3.—The situation here is virtually unchanged beyond the further completion of arrangements which will insure a speedy peace ora terrible and bloody war. Ger. Brooke has reached his position in the rear’ of the. hostiles directly north of this place. Gen. Carr is at the mouth of Wounded Knee Creek with a small force, picketing as far up as the late battleground. Col. Sumner, with the Sev- enth Cavalry, is posted northwest, while the First Infantry, with four sections of artillery, is at this point. Thus the Indians are com.- pletely surrounded. A peace party was sent out to them to-day, which will probably return to-morrow. Three of the wounded Indians have died. A large detail under Maj. Whitehead left for the late battle-ground this morningto bury the dead Indians. NEBRASKA MILITIA IN READINESS. OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 3.—Owing to the fresh outbreak of the Indians and the calls for pro- tection, the militia of the State has been or- dered to hold itself in readiness to move on short notice. Un- der instructions of Gov. Thayer Col. Bells, commanding the Seeond Reg- iment, has dispatched Company H from Tekamah to Gordon and Company B from Ord to Crawford, Company F of Hay Springs and Company E at Chadron are mus- tered for duty at that point. On a dispatch from Sheriff Rosecrans at Rushville, two com- panies were ordered to that point. So far as has been learned, no Indians have been seen except by a party which left Gor- don to visit the Big Foot Pattie ground, six- teen miles distant, which returned and re- ported that they found the battle field in pos- session of hostiles, whoran them off. They probably misunderstood the friendly Indians, who went out to bury the dead, for an enemy. ANOTHER FIGHT ANNOUNCED. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 3.—Aspecial dis- patch from White River to the Leader an- hnounces a fight between Capt. John B. Keyes, K troop, 8ixth Cavairy, and a party of Indians. Four of the Indians were killed, with no loss to the troops. MILES’ NEW DISPOSITION OF TROOPS. PINE Rives, 8. D., Jan. 3.~—It is generally believed here that the request of Gen. Miles that the different Sioux agencies be placed | under military control, will be complied with by the President. Agent Royer, at this place, will be relieved by Capt. Dougherty, of the First Begiment. Capt. Jesse M. Lee, Ninth Infantry, will take charge of Standing Rock Agency. Capt: Ewers, Fifth Infantry, at Cheyenne.. Gen. Miles to- day made a per- sopal inspection of all the camps and possessions around the Agency and made some new 4ispositions of A company of the First infantry is stationed east of the agency behind the low topofa hill. Twocompanies under Capt. Doherty, with two Hotchkiss guns, are on the north, and one more company west and one gun to the southwest near the school building. About forty of Red Cloud’s people came in last night and report that Red Cloud will be here soon with the Ogallalas,who ran away in the stampede, but scouts say he is detained by force by the other hostiles, who are de- termined to fight it out believing that a sur render means a slaughter similar to that of Big Foot’s band. MORE DEFINITE RUMORS. LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 3.—Specials to the Journal, dated the 24,from Pine Ridge, give more definite rumors relative to the reported fight between Gen. Carr’s command and the Indians in the Bad Lands. These would indicate that the troo driven back and a number cannot be considered authentic. Scouts who have returned from other hostile camps, however, bring anything but reassuring re- ports. The Indians will not listen to peace reer ny” small nt of troops have been ‘ine to the scene of Monday’s battle on Wounded Knee, where the : 4 a Pa ie?

The soldiers in the hospital ' are doing nicely, the physicians pre the recovery of all. ' SITTING BULL’S pEaru. _ Sitting Bull, statements that chief was murdered. He says, in contradiction of the statement which ts going the rounds of the press lately that Sitting Bull was murdered and that the shooting was commenced by the police that everything proves the contrary. First the clear and corroborated statement of Red Tom- ahawk, also of Bullhead, who detailed the facts to me before his death; and, second, the of the rescuing party armed with guns of all descriptions, the Winchester in the rity. Gen by 0 telegraped the Secretary of War to-day that Father Craft, who was thought to have been mortally enenet in the battle of Wounded Knee; is doing well RIFLE PITS AND BOARD SHELTER. Prxe Ripee, S. D., Jan. '3.—Several minor reports, such as are brought in by Govern- ment employes in various parts of the reser- vation, have ‘come in to the effect that the country seems to be alive with squads of hostile scouts. Instead of concentrating the troops in a huddled condition in the center of thecamp as Gen. Brooke had@ them, Gen. Miles has thrown them out into permanent picket lines on the top of the ridge, encircling the agency valley, and is having rifie pits and board shelter built for them; the one for use in cases of attack and the latter to shelter them while off duty. In other words, instead of the agency building surrounding the soldiers the soldiers are to surround the agency. Indeed, during the brief time since Gen. Miles’ arrival here the entire face ofaffairs has undergone a radical change -A LIST OF THE FORCES. The forces now inthe field under the com- mand of Gen. Miles are composed of the fol- lowtmag regiments: First, Sixth, Seventh (etght companies) and Ninth Cavairy, Com- pany Eof the First Artillery and the First, Second, Third, Seventh, Twelfth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Twentieth, Twenty-first, Twenty -second, Twenty- fifth Infantry, making in afl 159 companies. This should mean an actual fighting force of at least ten thousand officers and men, but it is probable that the ranks are not full and that the regu- lararmy under Ger. Miles does not exceed 8,000 at the most. NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Gen. Schofield re- ceived a telegram this evening from Gen. Miles stating that there gre no new develop- ments.in the Indian trouble. A HEAVY DEMAND FOR RED PAINT. PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 3.—It is reliably re- ported that hostile Indians have sent out runners to all the Indian camps notifying | them of the battle and calling upon them for | d. One of the runners has made his appear- ance among the Indians up Bad River and has been using every means to incite them into joining in the conflict. The proper army officers have been notified and are no doubt on the lookout for the red rascal. The prin- cipal Indian trader at Fort Plerre (Mr. Ketchum), says he has sold more red paint to the Indians in the last few days than for years. RATIONS FOR EIGHTY PEOPLE. OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 8.—Col. Tassin has tele- graphed for rations for eighty people in Fort Pierre, who have left their homes on account of the Indian troubles. AT THE LAWRENCE INDIAN SCHOOL. LAWRENCE, Kan., Jan. %8.—The Indian trouble in the Northwest is causing a little uheasiness among the pupils at Haskell Institute, the Government Indian school located near this, city. The children are greatly interested#in the outcome of the Messiah craze, but in most cases deplore the militagy conflicts. There are 600 children here, representing nearly every Indian tribe. There are twenty Yankton Sioux boys in at- tendance, and they are greatly enraged over the killing of Sitting Bull. Although theyare not members of his band they consider the killing uficalled-for. Letters to the children from parents in the Indian Territory ipdicate that the reports of ghost dances and general uprising are. untrue. George Dove, foreman of the shops at Has- kell Institute, has just returned from the Ponca Ageficy and reports everything quiet and that no dances have been held in that part of the Territory, and that the more in- telligent Indians ridicule the Messiah craze. The Indians are content and well taken care of, . MOURNING AT FORT RILEY, JUNCTION City, Kan. Jan. 3.—The result of the big Indian battle by which the Seventh Cavalry was so fearfully decimated has caused much mourning at Fort Riley at this place, where the regiment has been stationed for four years. The officers’ wives, as well as those of many of the men, are located here, and the dozen deaths haye t a feel- ing of gloom over the entire post. But few troops are left in the magnificent quarters, hearly all being at the foot. A special train bringing the remains of the officers is ex- pected the first of the week. TO CARRY THE WAR INTO CONGRESS. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 3.{A determined effort will be made next week to bring the presemt Indian war into Congress. To Gen. Miles will be left the task of subduing the half-starved and mutinous savages, but the: way will be paved by a series of resolutions from both sides of the House calculated to rake the Indian Department from cutwater to sternpost. The crank, Commis- sioner Morgan, his wifely Secretary and his ‘‘cousinly’’ stenographer, Mrs. G., who has been off all summer proselyting among the tribes, and getting all sorts of red feather and hymn- bDook information to be in the fan- tastical report to be submitted at the opening of Congress, will be the potnt of attack, The management of the Indian Department is admittedly so inefficient as to be ridiculous. Assisfant Commissioner Belt, whohas had the Bureau, isa painstaking man, but only. knee-high. to his responsibilities. During the next two weeks at least three resolutions will be introduced calling for a thorough investigation of the Indian Bureau, and an effort will be made to fix the responsibility. of the present. outbreak and disasters upon i more tangible than & Mere ghost-dance The letter of Father Craft, the priest, mur dered near Standing Rock, just published, has created a sensation, not only in Congress, | but in the War Department as well.

How far tl efonltngs oF In 1ans are entitled to consideration in this respect is not of much importance, but it is certain that they con- sider the loss ay note weapons as a disgrace. ARRIOR’S P To an Ind dian the loss of weapon is like the 10es of his ‘*medicine or mystery bac.’ The value to the Indian of Tis ‘‘mystery vpag’’ is beyond any conce ~y of the whites, ° If one of the enemy shoul t hold of it. the warrior feels himself de , and he finds only one way to redeem himself, and that is by rushing into the heat of the battle and cap week a bag enemy, whom he must hisown hand. In like manner the Indian warrior feels that t the loss of his weapon isa disgrace. In Big Foot’s case it was douhtless supplemented by the fear of extermination when their arms should be given up. Blood has been shed and no one can predict the outcome. We learn that the otherwise friendly Indians; like old Red Oloud, inspired by their fears and the of war, inbred in the savage nature,have from the agencies and are joining the hostiles. This feeling of alarm -and infatuation that governs the un@ontrolable nature of all Indians was well exemplified by the Sloux massacre of Minnesota in 1862. These Indians,taking ad. vantage of our civil war, See proclaiming a long list of grievances inst the Govern. ment and their agent Gal raith, whom they charged with "withholding the payment due them in gold, on which he drew interest, and pa them in "greenbacks, started on the war- pa SHA-KA-PEO’S BAND The first outbreak originated with a hunt- ing party of fourteen of Sha-Ka-pec’s band, who. returning from an expedition against the Chippeways, obtained whisky, became intoxicated and killed six persons. This party returned to their village, held a counc!! with their relatives, teliing t them, ‘‘We have k and caught must die. us kill the whites atthe agency. It isa good time to carry out our long cherished designs. The whites are all gone tothe war except the old men, the womenand children. We can kill them all, take their property, and re- possess ourselves of the lands, taken from us. About twenty ewarriors, at once united into a war party, and started towards the agency. By daylight on Monday, the 18th of August, 1862, this war party now increased to about two hundred warriors, proceeded to the lower agency, having sent messengers to all the bands, who resided above and below the agency ordering them to join the war party forthwith, on pain of being pun- ished with death in case of refusal. As soon as the news of -the uprisings read the oung men of these bands excitedly joined he war party, which became hourly aug. mented. any of the chiefs, old men and ‘*‘farmer Indians,’’ — riendly tothe whites, at first remonstrated THE MASSACRE BE But all in vain; the die was cat, and mad.- ness ruled the hour. About 6 o’clock that morning the work of death and destruction began. It is not the purpose to nar- rate the assaults on the settlements, the first attack having been made at the lower agency, fifteen miles above Fort Ridgeley. The agency buildings, stores, warehouses, ernment stables, shops and dwellings aere plundered and burned, the people fleeing in all directions panic stricken. me were shot down, some captured and the balance fled for their lives.

Granberry Gains a Hebrew Lady fora Bride by Compiying. With All the, Bites of Her waigioa= A Re- markable Case. Somewhat exaggerated rumors have been afloat of late concerning an évent which re- cently happened in the Church of the United Hebrew Congregation, The event was the embracing of Judaism by a Christian gentle- man. The rumors were that there was some dissatisfaction in the congregation caused by the belief that all the rites of the Jew- ish religion. had not been performed. The rumors were started ‘by a few. The main body of the congregation has raised no | question concerning the ceremony, and only a few have been asking questions about it, and representing that all the rites and cere- monies of the church had not been com- plied with. AN UNUSUAL CEREMONY. On Dec. 21 Miss Minnie Plotke, daughter of Mr. S. Plotke, was married to Mr, George D,; Granberry, who is in the office of Coroner Irwin. The ceremony was performed by Rabbi Messing and the impressive service of the Hebrew Church was duly solemnized. The young people settled down to a quiet, happy life, and thought nothing further about their marriage except that, happily, the obstacles which sometimes act as bars to the union ofa Hebrewand a Christian had been overcome. In this case they were brushed aside by Mr. Granberry, who adopted the faith of his sweetheart and’ was received by Dr. Messing as a Jew. So far as they were concerned, therefore, the difficulties had all been overcome, but some members of the church have since expressed doubts as to whether he had complied with all the requirements®f the Hebrew Church. It was said that just before the ceremony an Officer of the aed stepped up to Dr. Messing and asked if nberry had received all the rites Sorganeaine to his acceptance. Dr, Messing, it_is said, replied that he had, and the official was satisfied. The story went further, however, and said that some member of the congregation had since found out that one essential cere- mony had not’ been mye ty and he - posed to inquire of . Messing what that meant. These reports wee spoken of with freedom among a small circle of people in the congregation, but most of the members were informed on the day of the ceremony that Mr. Granberry was now entirely a Jew. He had taken the name of David, by which he would be known hereafter among the people of the faith which he has adopted. The reports concerning the admission of Mr. Granberry were somewhat complicated, so Dr. Messing was called on yesterday and asked for a plain statement of the case. He was = what has been retold above and his reply wa ‘‘There is no truth in the statement that there is any trouble inthe church. Mr.Gran- berry has been regularly and properly ad- mitted tothe congregation and there is no trouble about it.’ ‘*‘Did one of the officers ask you before the ceremony if allthe requirements had been Cr m plied with?’’ ‘No, Nosuch question was asked. Mr. Granberry has complied with all of the re- quirements of our church, That answer covers everything. All of the ceremonies were not performed then. One took place in Indianapolis some weeks ago. My brother, whois a rabbi, per- formed it. There is no occasion, no ground for trouble over this matter. ‘*Is it not unusual for Christians to adopt the faith of Israel, doctor?’ ‘‘No. Not in my experience, Only last Sunday I received a lady, Mrs. Wolf. Her husband isa toy merchant, They were mar- ried last May. She was a Miss Malone, I She has been under my instructions ever since last September and on last Sunday I received her. ‘‘But even if Mr. Granberry had not per- formed all the ceremonies he still might mar- ry a Jewess. I would not marry them; I would have sent them toa Justice of the Peace. The church recognizes a marriage pe rformed by any one legally authorized b the law to perform it. Some rabbis will marry a Christian anda Jew. Iwill not, but the difference in faith does not prevent their marriage. 1 do not know-how these re- ports started. I cannot .imagine what their origin is. I should like to know, but wherever they started, there is no truth in them. When I married Mr. Granberry and Miss Plotke he had done everything that the church required and that is alll required. The —— of the congregation have not raised any such question and 1 do not expect them to, because there is no reason_for it. Dr. Messing afterwards said that this was the first time in eighteen years that a Christian man had become a Jew in this city 7 complied with all that is required. He so said that the changes in faith from one at ‘these very positive creeds to another were usually the result of marriage. A call was made at the residence of Mr. Plotke, the father of Mrs. Gran- berry, but he isin Chicago and will not re- turn until Monday. r. Granberry was found.at the Coronor’s office, and he said that he had seen Dr. Messing, ‘who had told him that the reports concerning the congre- gation were being inquired into. MR. GRANBERRY NOT INCLINED TO TALK. He inquired what Dr. Messing a — and when he was told he said: ‘‘Well, r, Mes- sing has gone that far I don’t feel incliaed to say anything. I consented to the rites of the chuéch under the condition and the promise that it would be kept secret. Idid not want anything said about it and I had solemn promises that nothing would %, said. I mar- ried a Jewess, a young lady who was born in Chicago and brought up here. I am grown and old enough to know what Iam doing, and I do not care to say anything more about the matter. Ido not know anything about the congregation or any disagreement that may have occurred there. I did not know, in fact, that I was a member of the congregation. -9” case somewhat similar to this one occurred in Kansas City a short while ago, and became the subject of much controversy throughout the country, especially tn rabbin- ical circles. The young man in that case, however, refused to submit to all the rites, and in his refusal he was sustained by many of the leading rabbis in the country. Secret Society Happenings.

The day that the Merchants’ Bridge was opened, the military from the Barracks were conveyed to’ 8t. where they took a boat at the foot of Olive street for the scene of the big event. Company B, under command of Capt. Wallace, was marching down Olive street; and when near Main street halted his company. Two little girls were standing * on sidewal looking at the blue coats in amazement. One oF the little onse iter? pear $2 say: ‘I wish ico 0 along.’ Capt. Wallace over- Cond toe amt stooping over the little ones, said ‘Come along with me.’ The little ones were seen safely on the boat and when the was reached he took the little ones on the hurricane deck, where Phey had a good view of all that went on. , When the boat returned the Captain safely placed the littie children almost in the same ce where a few hours before he found them.’’In conclusion Lieut.Bishop said Capt. Wallace was one of the best men that ever wore uniform in the United States Army. : Jealous of Joplin.

Probability of a Bitter Fight at Jefferson City Over the Proposed New Pharmacy Law—A Man Who Thinks There Should Be No Pharmacy Law at All. The interview published in the PostT-Dis- PATCH with Mr. F. W. Sennewald in regard tothe defects of the present pharmacy law and the movement on foot to secure the passage of a new law has stirred up the op- position, and the effort to: have such physicians as cannot pass the druggists’ ex- amination prohibited from doing business as apothecaries will be bitterly fought at Jeffer- son City this winter. Mr. Sennewald, who is the St. Louis member of the State Board of Pharmacy and the Secretary of the board, and who is also an officer of the Missouri State Pharmaceutical Association, said in his inter- view that Missouri was the only State in which physicians were allowed to compound medicines for the public without standing the examination required of pharmacists, and that the privilege had been taken ad- vantage of by the least educated and most incompetent members of the medical profes- sion, the physicians of reputation having almost to a man sided with the Pharmaceu- tical Association and State Board in their ef- forts to protect the public against the blua- dering of incompetent drug clerks. Mr. Sen- newala also complained that even the good : bp . . w , ‘ to. a ? ‘ a s be ‘ P Ae * = . é A © Ped » ’ a Es ee es ¥ j ‘% as or | - * es Se ‘ ge, writ Ri eR ; ’ vi v ey ~ ‘ violators, the income of $500 derived from ex- amination and registration fees being hardly sufficient to pay the meeting expenses of the board. A TERSE REPLY, The objections of the physicians who don’t agree with Mr. Sennewald and his pharma- ceutical colleagues are statéd very forcibly by an old physician, who has practiced medi- cine thirty odd years in tie State, and who is now a resident of this city and connected with one of St. Louis’ medical journals. ‘‘Mr. Sennewald, the Secretary of the State Board of Pharmacy, is making a terrible out- cry,’’ be said yesterday, ‘‘and challenges the wisdom of the last Legi repealing that clause of the ch included physicians in its provis- He says: Tne jast Legislature sicians to thout any harmacist rescriptions both lieve in the ability of any well- safe eT tothis fund, certainly those of the State gon. erally cannot object, but if any part of it ts to be used to enforce city fashions u the then the will ag - , © himself 1... competent to own medicines?

The $100 Invoice Clause in the Law Governing Importations. - IT 18 APPLICABLE TO THIS CITY AND OTHER INNER PORTS OF ENTRY. Important Decision by the Treasury De- partment-—Only One More Reform Needed to Make St. Louis Independent of New York asa Port of Entry—Mr. Wyman Explains the Decision. A decision recently made by the Treasury Department at Washington and notice of which has been received by Col. J. O. Churchill, Collector of Customs here, will in- terest a great many St. Louisans, particularly the regular importers, as also a large number of people who occasionally make small pur- chases in Europe. The official letter received by Col. Churchill reads as follows; Referring to department's circular of the 22d ult. (S. 10,293) concerning invoices of merchandise of less than $100in value. the department has to say that, upon careful consideration, it sees no good reason why the requirements of said circular should not be applied to importations of merchandise valued at less than $100, which appear by the bill of lading to be intended for transportation to an in- terior port under the immediate transportation act. You are therefore authorized in all cases where im- portations are made in good faith, and where there is no evidence of wilfull intention to evade the require- ments of the statute, to admit such importations to entry without the production of invoices authenti- cated by United Statesconsular officers. MR. WYMAN EXPLAINS. The exact purport of the decision andits importance to St. Louis are best explained by Mr. Charles-H. Wyman, one of the best posted men on Custom-house matters in the country: ‘*The law*provides,’’ said the gen- tleman when spoken toon the subject yes- terday, ‘‘that uponthe arrivalat the outer port—say New York—of any foreign merchan- dise intended for immediate transportation toanyinner port—say St. Louis—the Collec- tor at the outer port shall allow the same to be ‘transferred directly from the importing vessel to such bonded railroad company as may be selected by the owner, agent or con- signee after an ‘immediate transportation entry’ for the merchandise has been filed by itsowner, or agent, or consignee, together with a copy of the invoice of the goods. ‘‘Collectors at outer ports have, however, allalong held—and they have until recently been sustained in their decision® by the Treasury Department—that this invoice must inevery instance bea certified invoice, that is, an invoice accompanied by a consular cer- tificate to: the effect thatthe sender of the merchandise has sworn to the value and character and description of the goods. This affidavit of the exporter must, they have claimed, not only be made in all cases but also made before and certi- fied to by the Consul representing this country in the place from which the mer- chandise is shipped. Now there is a pro- vision in the general acts of Congress that ‘no importation of any merchandise exceeding $100 in value shall be admitted to entry with- out the production of a duly certified in- voice,’ and further on in the same section authority is given to the Collector of Customs to decide in each individual case where the value of the importation is $100 or less, whether or not the invoice accompanying the entry shall or shall not bea certified invoice; that is an invoice witha consulate certificate attached. AS FORMERLY CONSTRUED. ‘‘Now, you would suppose that under this Congressional provision St. Louisans would have had very little or no trouble at all in getting their small importations through the New York Custom-house, the new law having done away withthe necessity of furnishing the proper consular certificate with the bill of goods in cases where the value of the im- portation was under $100, but, unfortunately for St. Louis and other inner ports of entry, this provision of the customs laws has always been construed by the collectors at all the outer ports to apply only to invoices en- tered for payments of duties in their own custom-houses and not to entries for immedi- Gate transportation for appraisement at the inner port, and upto a few days ago their construction of the law was sustained by the Treasury Department at Washington. INSUSTICE TO $T. LOUIS. ‘*The manifest injustice of this was in the fact thatan importer, tourist or other resi- dent of New York or other seaboard city could place an order fora minor importation and have it cleared at his own custom-house, whereas the St. Louis importer or tourist, or resident ofany kind, to obtain examination and appraisement at his eustom-house in St. Louis had to produce a certified invoice at a cost of $2.50, that being the fee allowed by. law to the consuls for cer- tification. This was a ve heavy tax, as the large majority of minor invoices amount to but a few dollars in value, making the percentage of cost excessive, and in view of the fact that the New Yorker escaped it. rhe aiternative in such cases was to avoid the consul’s fee and to clear the merchandise in New York instead of St. Louis, which, however, was nothing less than jumping irom the frying pan into the fire, for the fees and costs of clearance at the outer port in- variably aggregate more than the consul’s charges, to say nothing of the detention and the feeling of insecurity in having the goods opened en route. a THE NEW RULINGS. ,. wo rulings in the matter have recently seen given by the Treasury Department. In the first one the Secretary of the Treasury Says: ‘Except in case of pers leffects ac- companying the passenger, importation ol any merchandise exceeding $100 in dutiable Value shall be admitted to entry without the | production of a a@uly certified invoice. When the shipment is less than $100 In value, the requirement oj a certified in- voice isa matter of discretion with the col- lector at the port of entry, Consuls have been notified not to authenticate such invoices ex- cept upon the special request of shippers.’ *’ ris is the substance of the ‘‘department’s Circular of the 224 ult.’’ the last sentence, giving -the instructions of the Department of State to _ con- Ssuls, should, it seems, have induced the collectors at the other ports of entry to ace St. Louis and other inner ports on the \,fme footing as New York and other sea- ard towns as regards small importations, buta special letter of instructions on this point appears to have been sary and so the collectors ports were ordered to allow imports valued n the invoice at $100 or less to be transferred directly from the importing vessel to the bonded railway company wpon the filing of an ‘‘immediate transportation entry,’’ ac- companied by a simple invoice of the , hot a certified invoice as below required. ‘ NO LONGER UNDER HIS GRIP. Under this ruling the New York Collector has no authority to appraise any St. Louis importation at all. He cannot say that a lot of merchandise valued in the invoice at $99 is worth $101, and require the production of a cé cate from the United States Consul at the place of shipment in Europe before allowing the § to be lorwarded St. nust rang ~ the questioning its atcurac be sent on at once an any office fees for the service. ing in all such cases hereafter Will be done at the St. Louls office and if the have no consular certificate attached to the invoice it is hot at all likely that tl importer will be re- quired to send to Euro for it unless the collector is satisfied that fraud is intended.

Over half our imports come by the Vv of New York, but $3,772,229.40 does not to cover the full amount received in St.Louis, as a very large Ghanied te New while goods intended for the St. Lou Custom House are shipped on through bills of lading. The former are cleared in New York and turned over to the owner, agent or con- signee, and shipped by him as a private indi- vidual to the St. Louis address marked on 'the merchandise, while the latter are delivered to some bonded rail or transportation company on presenta lon, of a proper invoice of the goods. In *the former case the freight from New York to S8t. Louis is paid independently. of the ocean freight charges already settled in New York, andin the latter casejthera freight and steamer charges are all in one bill. ANOTHER REFORM NECESSARY. In both cases, however, the owner must be in New York to receive the goods at the Cus- tom-house or must have some one there to represent him, no law having as yet been ssed allowing foreign goods intended for in- erior ports of entry to be forwarded from the outer parts as mail is forwarded by the postal service. It would seem that no invoice, Dill of lading or other document should de- manded of the owner or his representative until the place of appraisement is reached, but the authorities at Washington don’t look at it that way, being influenced probably too much by the Custom-house officers of New York ity, as was the case r so many years regarding the hundred dol- lar invoice provision. In some cases, however, the St. Louis importer prefers, on. rtation | instead | account of the differspnce in trans rates, to clear his goods at New Yor of here in St. Louis. The ocean steamer rates are based on bulk, the amount of space taken up by. the merchandise, whereas railroad freight goes by weight. When the shipped ona through bill lading, the cus- tom is to charge a bulk rate Tor the entire dis- tance to St. Louis, the railroad trip from New York included, and’ hence the importer of light, bulky goods, like toys for instance ,finds itto his interest to have his importations cleared at New York and reshipped from tere at weight rates to St. Louis. » HINTS ABOUT IMPORTING. The seaboard representative of the im.- rter residinginthe interior of the country S,asarule, some customs broker or trans- portation company, and as they havea in all the leading commercial centers of the world, the details of preparing the papers and shipping and receiving the goods are left to him or them, and importing its thus made comparatively roy to the uninitiated. If the goods are light and bulky, the broker looking. for the interest of his customer will ship them under a local or seaboard bill of lading instead of under a through bill and will attend to other matters that seem of little importance, but which may save the importer a good deal of trouble in the long run, as also vexatious de- lays and needless expense. He fur- nishes the leading manufacturers and jobbers and other exporters of England, for example, with printed instructions, which read something like this, if the to be shipped are valued at more than $100: ‘*Prepare invoices in quadruplicate for cer- tification by United States Consul and a fifth copy for the use of the importer. Send two certified invoices and the goods to our Liver- pool address and the copy of invoice to the address of the importer, say in St. Louis.) In- voices must be sent promptly as herein di- rected, as our agents in Liverpool are instructed to hold the goods until the invoices reach them. All invoices must contain-and should specify the. value of all cartons, cases, crates, boxes, sacks or cover- ings of any kind, and all other costs, charges and expense incident to placing the merchan- dise in condition, packed ready for shipment to the United States. Carriage to seaboard must not be inclu@ed. Where practicable,che weight and measurement of each package should also be specified. Packages should be clearly marked and numbered, and to- gether with the contents, should — be marked, stamped or labelled with the name of the country where manufactured. Do not insure, as we willattend to that. Give no instructions as to insurance, route, etc.’’ The instructions for shipping goods of $100 or less in value are similar, but not quite so many copies of the invoice are required, “REFUGE” ON MONT BLANC, A House 14,000 Feet Above the Level of the Sea. Special Correspondence of SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. CHAMOUNIX, Dec. 20.—It was a strange pro- cession which European mountain-tourists, who happened tobe inthe vicinity of Mont Blanc, saw wending its way up the steep de- clivities of the powerful Alp last summer, A hundred able-bodied carriers from Chamou- nix carried to the so-called ‘‘Rochers des ~~ _~_—e ** Refuge’ on Mont Blanc.

Vallot of Paris, who conceived the generous plan of erecting a mountain refuge nearly 14 feet above the level of the sea under the Very eaves of the summit of Mont Blanc. When the chief por- tion of the material had reached there, M. Valiot himself went to the top of the moun- tain with five of the hardiest guides from Chamounixywho were engaged to build the hut, and two others hired as cooks. A tent was pitched'for the generous patron of the expedition and anotger. for his seven assist- ants.

There ing left to done cover the inside walls felt-paper, and to build walls around the outside. On the 29th‘of July exceedingly in- clement weather forced the expedition to descend, after two of the men had already been sent home sick despite the large doses of oxygen which M. Vallot made them inhale. On July 3, the little company climbed the sides of Mont Blanc once more, accompanied by Mme. Vallot, who gave her personal care to the equipment of the hut. The partyr was accompanied by our own countryman, Mr. Lawrence Roatch, ‘from the observatory in the Blue Hills, Milton, Mass. The heavy felt- sheets were nalled tothe walls and layers of stone were piled around the _ house. Despitee the fog and hail that revailed on the 2d of August he flag was raised on the summit in honor of the completion of this generous donation by M. Valiot to the mountain-climbing public of the Swiss Alps. The house is divided off into two rooms. One of them contains hine camp- beds with pillows and blankets; there is a stove and two cooking-hearths, completely equipped with table ware and kitchen uten- sils, and shelves filled with a lot of fuel and prvisions, such as coal oil, tea, coffee, meat extracts, raongtiinn Sele which are at the disposal of the guests, who come unbidden to this retreat above the clouds.

THE LAGOONS OF VENICE. NATIONAL-COSTUMES AND OTHER PICT- URESQUE SIGHTS AT CHIOGGIA. A Place Where Fish Was Here, Theré and Everywhere — The Curious Fishing Sea Wall—Episode Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. FLORENCE, Dec, 10.—The most interesting excursion to the numerous points of interest in the Venetian lagoons is that to Chioggia, about twenty-five miles from Venice, on the shores of the Adriatic. Among the scores of islands and villages dotting the lagoons Chioggia is the only one which has preserved all its old-time picturesqueness and also re- tains the national costume. Although in Venice three months, I kept putting off my icherished visit to. Chioggia with character- ‘istic procrastination until the day preceding my departure, and fortunately I was favored with a bright, sunny November day for my journey. Itook passage at 8 o’clock ina not very palatial steamer in front of the Bridge of Sighs, and as the season rather late we did not There were bundles invariably done up in a handker- ~~ i. we) A Chioggite. chief. A tourist party of Germans. There was a sprinklling of army officers of various grades, and some soldiers returning to the fortresses with which the lagoons are plenti- fully studded, and there was the usual Ameri- can family with the American small boy. whose precociousness and the freedom he is allowed in taking part in the general conversation of his elders is always a source of wonder to the natives of -other lands. The norama and the life on the lagoons all the way to Ghiog- gia is an ever varied and interestingone. In the distance to the north of Venice is the im- mense ranges Ofthe snow-cove:'ed Alps, while to the southwest are the blue Euganean hills, where Petraveli lived and died. - At every vil- lage where we toushed the dafiyafrival of the Chioggia boat séémed to be the event of the day to the inhabitants, as they came en masse to the landing and cheered us as heartily on our departure as if Wwe were on board of a Transatlantic Liner bound for New York. It forcibly struck me that the inhabitants of these villages did not cultivate the graces of cleanliness and tidiness to any appreciable extent, and more squalid and miserable looking places to live in.I have not yet seen. We passed a continual proces- sion of boats laden with garden produce for the Venetian markets. Some of them were managed by as manyas ten rowers who row standing, gondolier fashion. When the wind fs faworable they hoist a rude sail. The crews ofthese boats arethe most picturesque-looking individuals possible to imagine. They either wear A RED TASSELED FEZ or a big dark sombrero, and some a pally col- ored handkerchief wound around the head, turban-fashion. In summer they are always barefooted and their complexions are as bronzed as sun and wind and the hereditary complexion of Italians can make them. We steamed by fishing boats with their gor- geously-colored sails, still more gorgeous in the bright sunlight, decorated with rude effigies of birds and beasts, and, in fact, of every Object conceivable on the earth above or on the sea below. As we glided swiftly by, the crews of thefishing boats were taking titeir frugal matitutinal meal, with the usual alert canine on thé bow. Now and then we passed an abandoned fort in ruins, rising sheer out of the water. and occupying the whole extent of an island not twenty yardsincircumferehce. On the stretches of lagoon laid bare by the recedin tide and in the shallow waters were groups o menand boys, some barefooted and some with immense boots reaching to their middle armed with variously fashioned nets fishin for shrimps and various kinds o shell fish.

It was also adorned by a@ most picturesque shrine to the Vir- ; A le statue of her and the child Jesus surmounted by a canopy and underneath on the wall the inscription, ‘*Refuginm Peccatorum.’’ ‘There were num- bers of wreaths in all stages of dilapidation, laced on the statue and suspended from the bs in front of the shrine, and tife ‘‘bam- bino’’ held one in his hand. The Cheggia women wear a white skirt with small dots which they draw over their head and hold inthe hand under the chin. The men wear a kind of sabot witha wooden sole several inches thick, and which would con- stitute a day’s work for me _ to carry around, and thick stockings reaching to the knees outside their nether garments, a Venetian cloak, always associated in my mind with Venetian bravos and stealthy dag- ~~ thrusts, the whole surmounted with a 1 fez, from which depends atassel. Of course, the Oh dude wears the tame costume of civilization the world over. Outside the gate leading to the main- land a very flourishing rope-walk was in opera The motive wer was supplied by a lot of most mourn look- ing little boys with @ contrivance fixed round their neck by a strap which they continually kept turning and gyrating backward and for- ward. At the piazza in front ofthe principal ho- tel of the villages, said piazza havinga min- jature pillar and winged lion ofits own in imitation of the more ambitious lion in Venice, there was a crowd of tmen who were just as rapacious as their brethern in Venice in the venial matter of entrappin and cheating the unwary tourist. One o them with the keen hawkK-lIike countenance sQ characteristic of the mariners of the lagoon marked meashisown. He only wanted 3 francs an hour, but we finally compromised on 1 franc an hour, [stipulating that I only wanted him foran hour. But he was not to be so easily baulked of cheating me, and he bided his time. He gave the wink to another red-shirted pirate, and together they ar- ranged their Jittle scheme, of which you shall hear more anon. It is the rule if you hire a boat with two rowers to have to pay double the usual tariff but as I made a bargain beforehand and if he chose to take half a dozen of his matesalonz, why, in American rlance, that was ‘his funeral; not mine. Inoticed them laughing in their sleeve, but I -fardly think rd noticed me doing the same. They only took half an hour in hoisting their sail. My principal object was to see the great sea wall built by the Venetian Republic in her de- cline, which is situated between the village of Sottomarina and the sea, about a stone’s throw from Chioggia. We landed at Sotto- marina and one of the mariners accompanied me to relate the history of the sea wall. After being truly impressed with this work of Ro- man grandeur, which looks strong enough to last for all st rps f and as there was not the slightest vestige of interest in Sottomarina I bade my boatman turn his helm for Chiog- gia. After a whispered consultation with his mate in their unintelligible dialect they asked me if Idid not want to take a cruise on the blue waters of the Adriatic and see the fish- eries. I told them I saw enough of . THE BLUE WATERS of the Adriatic from the sea wall,and as my stomach at that juncture was more in need of repletion than depletion I declined their pro- osal. They were not so easily baffled, and urned the helm towards the main, butI! told them they could cruise around all day and all they’d receive from me would be an hour’s tariff. At length, after much ado, they headed for Chioggia and landed at an regain Sore et spot, the better to carry out their designs on-me. I took very good care, learned from previous Venetian experiences, to have my foot on dry land before I handed out my franc, but judge of my astonishment when it was scornfully refused and a demand of 4 francs in its stead. You may wonder how 1 franc was multiplied to 4, but my boatman was a wonderful arithmetician.. Heg said I was out moré than an hor; a.part.of andour counts foran hour; that makes two hours, and a boat with two rowers costs 2 francs an hour, that makes two hours at 2 francs, ergo 4 francs. I laid the francs on the quay and walxed off but was followed fora considerable distance but finally got the better of my ingenious arithmeticians. At the hotel where I teok dinner, the piece de resistance beinga glorious plate of fried shrimp, both in quality and quantity, my boatman lay in wait for me; I could see him ace up and down beforethe window and when sallied out he again tackled me. Only by a hint of appealing td one of the gendarmes who were sunning themselves on the opposite side of the piazza, didi get rid ofthe bucan- neer of the Adriatic main. DEWOLFE CANLAN.

Over Thirty Murderers Now Confined in the St. Louis Jail—Who the Men Are to Be Tried This Term and What Their Crimes Were. The Criminal Court docket for the greater part of January and February has been set. An enumeration of the cases of homicide docketed in this short time is none to the credit of the tribunal. The records of no less than fourteen such actions adorn the register forthe next two months. Circuit Attorney Clover has done everything in his power to push the prosecution in these actions, yet no trial could be forced when the attorneys for the deferise had but to ask in order thata continuance be granted. In the meantime the record in Jailer Callakan’s office shows a total of thirty prisoners confined in ‘‘Mur- derers’ Row.’’ THE COMING TRIALS FOR MURDER. The case against William Hennessey for murder in the first degree is set for Monday, Jan.5. Anacquittalis more than probable in this action. Hennessey stabbed one Chas. Raycraft at Second and Mullanphy streets on Feb. 25. Raycraft was throwing bricks at the defendant atthe time. BenS. Wash repre- sents Hennessey. A trial in the Gleason case is announced for Jan.12. On Nov. 18, 1889, Willlam Gleason plungeda knife into John Whalen’s abdo- men while the deceased sat half asleep in a North Broadway saloon. So strong is the evidence against the man that a prominent criminal lawyer refused a good fee rather than endanger his reputation by making an almost hopeless fight. Gleason used a dirk, which he drew from his sleeve. His only excuse is that he was intoxicated. He had previously quarreled with his victim. Cecil Morgan English is also charged with murder in the first degree and will be required to make some answer on Jan. 19. This is an- other strong case for the State. English on March 24 last shot Conductor Thomas Fitzger- ald on a Washington avenue street-car be- cause the latter had befriended Mrs. English. A Kansas relative of the defendant raised money for his defense and engaged foreign counsel, who, it is announced, will co-operate with Attorney Van Der Buer. Representatives of the Ancient Order of Hi- bernians are said to be pushing the prosecution in the case of murder in the second degree against Henry Lange. The action is set for Jan. 21. In October, 1888, Lange killed Patrick J. McDermott, who interfered in Lange’s quarrel witha woman. The wife of the de- ceased came to St. Louis from Northern [lll- nian order in her errand of justice and re- venge. Gov. Charles P. Johnson appears for nge.

Crabtree is charged with murder in the first degree. Last August he fatally shot Police Officer Louis Wilmer, in the ’Frisco yards, and escaped to Dent County, where he was caught.

Towards the close of the evening he asked her tounmask. She did so and Gen. Blank found she was as beautifulas she was witty, and while he was complimenting her = her charms, the lady turned to him and sald: ‘*7 thank you much for your compliments, but I would like to know to whom I am talk- ing.

After which, probably, shaved Sawney felt better. When Charles V. ascended the Spanish throne in 1516 he wore no beard, and his obse- quious courtiers immediately followed. the royal example and came out in smooth faces. The people did not like the change; believing that without beard there could no virile virtue, There wasa popular saying to this effect: ‘‘Wehaveno longer souls since we have lost our beards.’’ In France, too, the beard went out of fashion after the death of Henry IV., because his successor was young to indulge in one. Everybody knows that during the Civil War in England in the seventeenth century the two antagonistic parties were called‘ ‘*Round- heads’’ and ‘‘Cavaliers,’’ and that the latter wore their hair long, while the former wore theirs as short as the name indicates.A man's politics and religion were then known by the outside of his head rather than the inside; or, as someone says: ‘‘The more abun t the hair the scantier the faith; the balder the head, the sincerer the piety.’’ Every Roy- alist and Episcopalian rejoiced in his long curling ‘‘love-locks,’’ while every Rebel and Puritan was proud of his closel clipped head and knéw how to defend it wit his stout sword. Long hair and loose morals came in with the Restoration, and Charles II. was an uncommonly fine specimen of both. His ASSORTMENT OF WIGS AND MISTRESSES has never been equaled, and never can be surpassed. For further particulars see good old Pepys and bad old Grammont. It remainded, however, for that tough Tar- tar, Peter the Great, to show what a stron government, on the one-man principle, coul do in regulating the beard po ion of the hair. At that time—i705—smooth faces were the rule and beards the exception in every country in Europe save Russia. There everybody of the male prretesee wore abeard. Peter deter- mine and an imperial ukase was issu that on and after a certain’ specified date, the man who wore. a beard must pay 100 roubles for the privilege; if priest or serf he could obtain it by payinga copeck every time he passed the gate ofa city, At first the pular excitement was very great, and here was some talk ofa revolt, but the peo- le wisely concluded they had better cut off their beards than resist a monarch who would not have the slightest hesitation in cutting off their heads. So they went tothe barber in regiments—those who did not want to pay the beard tax. Those who were willing to do so were given A CURIOUS COPPER RECEIPT called ‘‘the borodovaia,’’ or ‘‘the bearded.’’ It was coined for that purpose, and bore on one side a nose, mouth, and mustaches anda long, bushy beard, with the words, ‘‘Dengee Vyeatee,’’ or ‘‘money received ;’’ the whole encircled by a wreath and stamped with the Russian eagle. On the other side was the date of the year. Every beard-wearer had to show this receipt when he entered a city, or pay thetax, or goto prison. Fora number of years quite a large revenue was derived from this source, but when Peter died his crusade against beards died with him. Before the revolution of 1830 it is said that a mustache was e great curiosity in France and Belgium; butafter that event nearly every -masculine lipin both countries sprouted in hair. In those days mustaches were consid- ered revolutionary, and I think my French friend brought his to St. Louis as a relic of the revolution of 1848, when he saw 50,000 French- men marching in procession ‘ throu the streets of Paris,all singing ‘‘La Marseilaise.’’ Nowadays the fashion in hair and beard regulates itself, by every man doing as he eee: or rather, in many cases, as he or the number of heads from which the hair disappears never toreturn Is very large and constantly growing larger. To look at the men in church when a new preacher is in the ulpit, or the men ina theater when a new allet is produced, is like looking at a collec- tion of overgrown billiard balls. There is so little, so very little, BETWEEN THE HEADS AND HEAVEN. Two hundred years ago, and much less, nearly every gentieman had his head shaved in orderto weara wig. Now, that Nature, for some unexplained reason,is doing this shaving, why not revive the useful and orna- mental fashion of wigs? Let us cover our ca- ee nakedness, sotospeak, and hide our aid pates under the borrowed plumage of the wigmakers. Anything, almost, is better than these shining fiy-pastures, and those who do not like wigs ought to obtain a dispen- sation to wear the beretta of the priest, the skull-cap of the German doctor, or have their heads neatly frescoed in Indiaink.

Ge Sherman had told some stories about Lincoln, and finally he turned to Ingersoll and said: opinion of Lincoln?’’ All eyes were turned to Ingersoll, and the latter gan by saying: ‘‘I have on more than one occasion expressed my opinion.

A well-cooked dinner if servedon a table that has not been properly dressed looses half its flavor. There is nothing that is so attrac- tive to the eye as a dining-table which shows that care has been bestowed upon it to make it appear to the best advantage. One of the most striking featureson a well and care- fully arranged table is the linen, particularly the serviettes when they have been placed on the platesin a variety of fanciful designs, says the San Francisco Cail. When serviettes are to be folded intoany fancifulform it is necessary to have them starched, but not very stiff, yet sufficiently to enable them to retain sharpcreases. * in: s a ~—— r}/ — = Water Lily. To fold the water lily, takea serviette that is square,or nearly so, as itis best for this design.

BILL NYE. eee = -_ -_—— ee HOW BANGS ARE CURLED. What Women Sa¥ and Do When They Visit the Hairdresser. Written for the SUNDAY PoOs8T-DISPATCH. ** How long to wait?’’ This is always the first of a series of puz- ziing queries sent ina volley in every direc- tion in the reception-room of the hairdress- ers’ by the lady who comes in to have her bangs twisted. Although it may be supposed, still it is not generally known, that the visits of our prominent ladies of social fame are as frequent at the hairdressers’ as those of the opposite sex are at the Darber- shops. And that is why we can daily see such an extraordinary aggre- gation of feminine beauties promenading the fashionable thoroughfares in New York. ‘*Look at her !’’ you will constantly hear dur- inganuptown afternoon walk. ‘‘isn’t her face just perfect!’’ So it maybe. But it is the work of the beautifier. Men worship cleanly beauty in women. It is a fact that not every lady comprehends the best method or reaching this desired result, and even the noblest beauty must be preserved by atten- tion to natural laws and Cultivated .by art, for if neglected and abused it will quickly fail of its highest effect and lose its charm. That the business of the hairdresser has in- creased of late can only be understood bya visit to sucha place. A reporter happened into a fashionable resort of this kind a few afternoons ago and enjoyed a rather novel experience in what he saw. A society belle stepped in, and of course asker the prompt attendant how long there was (oO wait. The question was naturally foolish, as the artists’ quarters were two floors above, and the attendant couldn’t possibly surmise how long the inquirer should wait. She was told ten or fifteen minutes, so she paid her fee, took the d@vator and went skyward into the artists’ room, andit was full, How unfortunate for her! She tooka chair and a cdilection of funny weeklies and fashion journals and wis soon absorbed in journalism. Sointent wasshein her study that when the hairdresser called ‘‘Next’’ an hour an@a quarter later she became almost indignant. Andsuch acatagory of instruc- tions asshe gavefor her make-up! Did she needa cut ora curl, or both? Did she need a shampoo? Was her hair too long? What fashion was most in vogue? Would it suit her features to have herhair doneup this way? Didn’t he think she OUght to have her hair dyed so and so? ‘‘Curl those bangs carefully ease, forI do just hate to have them stick- ng into one another. Don’t you think those Marie Antoinette bangs are awfully nice? I’d have mine that way, but they wouldn’t suit my face.’’ These and numer- ous others are a sample of what the unfor- tunate hair-dresser hastoendure.

BERLIN, Dec. 22.—With every recurring New Year’s Day, when the imperial princes and the great dignitaries of the German Em- pire come to lay down their congratulations at the foot of the throne, three plain and un- assuming men from.the masses of the peo- ple knock for admittance at the palace gates, in order to bring to their sovereign the hearty well wishes ofthe country at large. The singular trio are known to every- body, not only in Berlin, but throughout the land. Everybody has had a_— glimpse of their venerable costume, their soker, weather-beaten, but honest, open counté- hnances. They are called the ‘*Halloren,’’ and are members of that old and distinct race which exists now only in the valley of Halle. They jook quite picturesque in their long, highly-colored coats, vests of bright siik, knee-breeches of black velvet, light-colored stockinets and shoes with silver buckles set with precious stones, on their heads the old- fashioned three-cornered hat. The ‘‘Halloren’’ are probably descendants of an old Frankish colony and since time im- | your work!’’ DELICATE SALT-CRYSTALS.

When the latter reached the River Saale, he came upon the ‘‘Hal- loren’’ st as they were rebuilding their huts which the enemy had destroyed. The Halloren met him and said: ‘‘Great mas- ter and ruler, let us build a city that we may be pee against our enemies.’’ The young King smiled and asked: ‘‘Where- with will you build your city? With water and wood?’’ To which they replied: Han mer heute water und holt Han mer morne silber und gold. Water and wood we have to-day To-morrow silver and gold ’twill be. **All right,’’ replied the young King. ‘‘May sun, moon and rs shed their light upon When he returned in the succeeding year he was surprised to see the strength and splendor of the new city, which prepared him a royal welcome, In the large hall where the salt was stored to dry, A TALL THRONE had been erected.

Duringthe fifth course of every New Year’s banquet they wait upon the German ruler with salt sausage made at Hallie and eggs boiled in brine. With this they hand their sovereign a printed New Year’s poem. During the following days they con- ratulate all the members of the imperial amily, and without almost any exception they are personally received. During their stay in Berlin they are treated to the luxuries ofthe imperial kitchen, and laden down with gifts and presents they return to their home, where their visit to the capital and the splendors my | have seen forms the theme of conversation for weeks to come. THIS CUSTOM has been observed for hundreds of years. Nobody knows positively by whom the Hal- loren were first granted this privilege, and all endeavors to probe the origin of the mys- tery have proved vain. Ordinarily the race ofthe Halloren is thoughtto bea remnant of the vandals, who were conquered by the Franks and madefthethralls of the proprie- tors of the salt-cots. Their legends and sagas contain many ref- A Bridal Couple. : ‘*Halloren” Funeral Bearer. cheering of the crowd. The King inquired as to the mere wy b this singular proceeding, and wastold thatthis was done asa testi- monial of his sovereignty Overthe valley. Thereupon the King presented them with his body -horse. Then he invested eight generations of the ‘‘Pfaenner’’ (the roprietors of the salt-cots) with the itle of the town privilege, gave to each one a sword and buc#Hier, donated a banner tothe community and took them tothe war with them. From that time on they proved them- selves trusty vassals and subjects. At that time the ‘‘Pfaenner’’ of the Salt Springs were known by the various duties they. performed at the Springs; and from these occupations many aname is derived, with which we of the present day are familiar, There were first the ‘‘bornemann,’’ men who stood nearest the springs, called ‘‘born’’ in the German language, and dipped the brine; then camethe ‘‘borntraeger,’’ those who carried the brine tothe ects; the ‘‘buett- ner,’’ coopers, who made thetubs or coops; the ‘‘pfannschmidt,’’ who made the pans in which the brine was boiled ; the ‘‘seifaehrte,’’ who filtered and drained the = salt; the ‘‘stisser,’’ who boiled, stirred and pound- edit, andthe ‘‘baeker,’’ who baked it and cut itinto squares for transportation. The ‘*halloren’’ were the workmen who did the common labor in the springs. As they had no chief they soon began to quarrel, and 'the split became so serious A Halieren and His Wife.

WEST. — The Mysterious Sheet Water Supposed to Underlie the Prairies—Government Ex- periments and Their Accomplishments —Results Certain. Special Correspondefice SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. \BILENE, Kan., Jan. 1.—All the nations of Egypt were fed by the bounty of one mighty river. The great plains of the West have four chief rivers, all equal to the Nile, and hun- dreds of smaller ones with creeks and artesian wells in abundance. These are to be utilized in the near future for the host of men who are repairing to the great granaries of the nation and of the world, asking subsistence. There are, it is estimated, 1,000,000,000 acrés of land classed as arid in the United States. it has been tilled and found to be unproduc- tive on account of the meager water supply. But one-fifth of the land can be made exceed- ingly fertile if irrigated by the use of the wa- ters referred to, Already more than 6,000,000 acresare cultivated through the agency of canals. Thus the experiment has been tried and no further doubt rests upon the practicability of Western irrigation. Itis fully demonstrated that the redemption of these lands is profit- able to capital and labor. An acre’ of jand in the Mississippi basin, practically worthless without irrigation, when the works are con- structed to supply it with water at once acquires a value marvelous to men of the more staid and conservatfve East. In New California, settled but yesterday, cultivated lands command better prices than in Massa- chusetts or Maryland, and this because an acre of land there will produce two or three fold the quantity of food for man or beast the same amount of land will do onthe At- lantic slope. But the great plains of Nebraska and Kan- sas have never yet been subjugated fully. The streams which have their rise in the mountains lose much of their substance by the time they reach the long level stretches across the prairies, and in the summer when corn along the ditches is rolling its leaves for want of moisture, the broad beds of the Ar- kansas, the Platte and the Smoky Hill are barren reaches of sand. The ‘‘new irrigation’’ is independent of all that. The searchers after a certain moisture mysterious ‘‘underfiow,’’ which led to an imprtant movement. In the valley of the Ar- kansas, ‘near Hutchinson, water-bearing sand or gravel was found to be over two hun- dred feet deep. Chips thrown in wells ip this vicinity were noticed to uniformly float to the east side of the well. Going west the depth of the water decreased and in Finne County, near the wean Sere line, it was foun that the gravel was but six or eight feet below THE SURFACE. In conjunction with the United States engi- neers local capitalists began experiments upon the theory of a vast sheet of water un- derlying the entire valley and flowing stead- ily and unresistlessly seaward. It was called ‘‘the underflow,’’ an unexplained source of power which should be compelled as were the genii of old to do the bidding of man. While irrigation asa system had been some- what successful in Western Kansas, it had ever had an element of uncertainty by reason of the irregularity of supply; but with the vast sheet of pure hidden water below the surface it was but a question of reaching the underground ocean to make the valley as productive as that of the Nile, With these reasons..as a stimulant the bright minds of the W rners turned to the ee ,! $ 2. 2» ae Ce eee A hel rk?

By extending it for some distance a point is reached a few miles away where a perpendicular fall of twenty feet is secured, and the traveler over the apparently level lain sees, dashing down,a pretty waterfall ed from an endless and inexhaustible subter- ranean supply. The ditch, with its assurance of a permanent supply the year round,as no diminution could be detected after six months of trial, Iirri- gates 25,000 acres ofland and cost $60,000. is believed that it could be duplicated for about $10,000 less, owing to new methods and experience gained. The velocity of the flow is about three miles an hour, which is proba- bly that ofthe underground current moving on — c SO MYSTERIOUSLY. Certain minor matters suchas the inflow- ing of sand was at first necessary to over- come, but that was accomplished by the placing inthe ditch a long plank box, four feet square, with holes bored In the sides and covered with fine poke ye This allowed the water to enter but did not permit the sand to pass through. Various sha ditches were also triedand a form finally settled upon which proved to be the least a of caving banks and incoming sand. Anentensive survey under charge has just been complet Col. E. 8. Nettleton having been the chief engineer. The survey was originally started in pur- suance of an appropriation by Congress of $40,000 for testing the artesian well plan of irrigation. The Dakotas, Nebraska and Kan- sas have been gone over and careful meas- urements taken. In the Platte Valley five profile lines have been run to test the theory that the sheet water underlies all the valley twenty to fifty miles in width. The lines’ were run at average distance$‘ of sixty-five miles andare a record of depths of the w orin other words 5 mg from any gi point to water. Wells already bored were used for measurements, as they did as well as anything else for purposes of experiment. Not less than 500 wells were tested in this way. It was presumed that if the water was found to be at an even depth, taking into considéra- tion the distance of the surface above the sea, that the water supply was from the under- flow; if not, then some of the wells must be fed from springs or special currents. The records show a strange similarity in depths, and the surveyors feel ce n that the same pody of water underlies the entire Platte Valley. The artesian theory was given up. Profile lines are now beingrun in the same manner in the Arkansas and Smoky Hil) Val- leys of Kansas. They will be from forty to sixty miles long. The ——, is that both the Valleys are underlaid bya sheet of water from twenty to sixty miles wide and extending from the mountains to the Missouri or Mississippi Rivers. Some are even so san- ine as to think that the entire State is un- erlaid by a vast sheet of water. vernmental underneath the surface. 6 large we will drain a section about six miles a or a township and will yield about enough to irri- gate it.

The only question is how to get it to the surface most economically.

Written for the SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH. whe existing constitution of the House of jordsasan estate of the realm dates from the thirteenth century. Their status and their office in the state was then finally fixed and their order received that impress which has ever since distinguished it from the rest of the community. Voluntarily they for- mulated a declaration thatit is no caste ar- rogating to its members,(high prerogatives, exclusive privileges or greater degrees of consideration denied less prominent subjects ofthe crown, They consider themselves a small pody of citizens whose distinguishing feature js. that they have inherited the capacity, or neen invited or commissioned by the sove- reign, to filla responsible office in the State— that of perpetual adviser 40 the crown, and that on dying they pass on their duties to their heirs. The liberality of the order is evidenced by the fact that it has grown from fifty-nine peers in 1603 to 563 in 1890, and that there has been unreserved admission to its ranks of men of distinction in every employ- ment—soldiers, lawyers, authors, poets, im- yentors, diplomatists,. bankers, manufactur- ‘in short, representatives of every form of social and personal distinction without exception. Though all peers are lords of parliament, all lords of Parliament are not peers. The lords spiritual are not considered peers, they hold their seats ex-officlo, their honors are not hereditary, they confer no juster on their wives or children, if accused of treason or felony they are not tried ‘neers, neither do they render ntif a peer be arraigned on a capital aree.

There is one barony, that of Gardner, claimed, but the right to it is not yet estab- ey gnats claimant justifies his claim he will Kingdom. The following peers are ciergy- men: Karls,Cork and Orrery, Delaware, Howe and Stamford ; Viscount Molesworth and Lords Forester, Plunket, Scarsdale and Petre. Earl Delaware is a brother of Lord Sackv te la British Minister to Washington; Lord Plun- ket is Archbishop of Dublin, and Lord Petre is the first Roman Catholic ecclesiastic who has sat in the Lords since the reformation. The heirs apparent to ten erages are clergymen, among them being the heir to the famous Viscounty of Bolinbroke and 8t. John. THE HEIRS-APPARENT to five peerages are ladies, viz: Earldom of Dysart, Viscount Wolseley (England’s at warrior), and the Baronies of De Ros, Ber- keley and Wentworth; the latter is at present held by Byron’s grandson, his daughter being heiress. It was a possessor of this barony who sacrificed fortune and honor to Mon- mouth’s love and who broke her heart after his execution. Two peers have perverted from the Protest- anttothe Roman Catholic Church, viz: The Marquis of Bute (D’Israeli’s Lothair), and the Marquis of Ripon, well known by his con- nection with the settlement of the Alabama Claims, Of the 616 titled gentlemen in the various peerages twenty-two are Roman Catbolics, the rest belong to the Church of England. At one time many peers were diplomatists. At present there are only four abroad repre- senting their Government: Marquis of Duf- ferin and Ava, in Italy; Earl Lytton, in France; Lord Vivian, in Belgium; and Lord Vaux of Harrowden, in Wurtemburg. Ten peers are in foreign parts governing British possessions. Among these may be mentioned the Marquis of Lansdowne, Governor General of India, and Lord Stanley of Preston, Gov- ernor General of Canada. There are several peers who never see Engiand’s shores. Lord Aylmer resides permanently in Melbourne, Canada. Viscount Taaffe, an Irish peer, is an Austrian subject and has held high minis- terial offices in that country. The Earl of Newburgh. a Scotch peer, is a prince in the Roman States and residesin Rome. The Earl of Stamford resides at the Cape of Good Hope. Lord Fairfax of Cameron is a United States citizen, resident in Maryland, and does not assume the title; he practices as-a physician and has never visited*England. The only ab- sentee who would have a seat, if resident In England, is Ear! of Stamford. In five cases do father and son sitin the Lords atthe sametime. The Duke of Northumber- land’s and the Earl of Albemarle’s eldest sons were summonedin their father’s baronies. The Earl of Lovelace’s eldest son, Viscount Ockham, sits as Lord Wentworth having suc- ceeded his mother, Byron’s daughter in her barony. The Duke of Sutherland’s seeond son sits as Earl of Cromartie having suc- ceeded his mother in the honors, conferred on her by the Queen In 1861. Lord Donington’s son sits as Earl of Lowdon by right of his mother’s honors.

It may be remembered that this is the club of which Baron Hirsch desired to become a mem- ber and where his application was met bya prompt and overwhelming deposit of black balls. The gentleman made no remarks, but quietly bided his time, and finally had the op- portunity to become by purchase the pos- sessor of the very handsome and spacious hotel at the corner of the Rue Royale and the Place de la Concorde in which the club afore- said had been installed for some years past, and where they found themselves very comfortable and perfectly at home. Now their lease of the premises expires in 1892, and they were promptly given to understand by their new landlord that it would not be renewed.

The Pope eared a pagan power in Vinland, and, therefore, . ressed the story. Mrs. Shipley seems to that the Jesuits had a hand in the devil- ish plot. She thinks that Columbus was, “‘nerhaps,a Jesuit’’ himself, She playfully sregards the fact that the Society of Jesus was not founded until many years after the woyage of 1492: Columbus was. probably in league with these bad men and deliberately robbed the Northerners of their glory. His age to Iceland in i477—which seems be pretty well attested—was, accord- ing to Mrs. Shipley, undertaken for the —— of getting further knowledge of the continent described in Se lodged in the Vatican. There is nothing discreditable in this, but it is not likely that he ever saw or heard of any record inthe Vatican. The tra- ditions of the Northern voyages had not died out, for the last visit to Viniand was made in 1847. No doubt the Genoan heard a salilor’s yarn about this old voyage and shrewdly treasured itin his memory. It fell in with his own.con- victions -and the _ Icelandic voyage was made to verify the _ tradition. man ought not to blamed for. being wiser than his fellows. Mrs. Shipley rises into an hysterical ecstacy of fear over the ga ee of a Columbian celebration in 3992. It will be an acknowledgement of the papal dominion over the American continent, 8 recognition of the validity of the Pope’s bull conferring sovereignty upon the King of Spain. It is a horrible thought—voluntarily tO place ourselves under the sovereignty of the little King in Madrid, The only way to avoid this is to at once recognize the Scandinavian discoverers an sO set aside the claims of the hateful Jesuit Columbus. ‘‘To follow the bidding of the church and ceiebrate Columbus’ deed were to commit a ridiculous and irretrieveble blun- der, while to celebrate the Norse achieve- ment would retrieve at a single stroke all the bunders of the- past and inaugurate a new ) era.’’ _ Mrs. Shipley, who, as Miss Marie Brown, won a well merited though somewhat waspish fame, has committed an ‘‘irretrievable blun- der’’ in writing this silly book. It is quite possible—indeed probabie—that she could say something of interest on the Icelandic dis- coveries, butitisa mournful fact that she has not done so.

Locke (Nasby), is a good story of howa apecek but clever, bo a become rich and infamous by too muc zealin practical politics. Mr. Locke caHsita **political novel.’’. The hero is Caleb Mason, son of a drunkard anda slattern, who rises to wer during the civil war. He stood high in he party councils because of his practical sense, and aspired to a seat in the Senate ora foreign mission of the firstclass. He ‘‘owns’’ a county treasurer, votes his men in blocks- of-five and in all other ways is a worthy fore- runner of modern masters of the craft of poli- tics. Nasby was a keen observer and no doubt this is aé_é faithful account of politics as he saw the game. Sub- Stitute other names for those of Mason, Gleason and Harvey, and it will serve very well as a description of politics in many States to-day under boss rule. Mason’s machine seemed to be as well constructed as any now in existence. But in one respect he was not equal to his successors. He was unable to meet disgrace. When the defalca- tion was exposed instead of holding his tongue and living it down, or calling upon his associates to help him out, he foolishly blew his brains out. This marks a very inferior stage in the development of political moral- ity. No practical politician of this generation would do so foolishathing. He would ‘‘hold .”*? §till, those ambitions of preferment Ido well to study Caleb Mason’s career, He was.quite as intelligent as his successors, even though he did have a thinner skin. There is much food for thought in Mr. Locke’s narrative. It will do very well as a guide, both to the practical politician “and to the reformer. * * * **Belteshazzar’’ isa romance of Babylon, of the Babylon of Nebuthadnezzar and Bel- shazzar. The prophet, Daniel, or as he was called by hiscaptors Belteshazzar, is a fig- ure of more than ordinary interest even among the prophets ofold Israel. This book isan attempt toexhibit him divested of the paraphernalia of fable in which he has been wrapped by the mbtsinterpretation of the holy book. We see him as an astute, prac- tical statesman, ready of resource, never sacrificing a present advantage to an ideal as on as the advantage is in the line of nis ultimate pur- bent on making the most for his ; faithfulness in the service of the : h monarch. His recalling of the possible by he presence in the palace of two faithful fomen who overheard the troubled monarch relate it to hisavife on the following morning. The interpretation was the product of his own uick wit and fruitful fancy. He cowed the lions by an exercise of the power residing in every man, but which few have the courage to exercise. Daniel, as we see him, was Say, a man of more than usual practical ligence and tenacity of purpose. He read the future because he understood the present.

ttle — — benefit and that the coal men hada right to do the same. GENERAL MANAGER SIMPSON, of the Consolidated Coal Co., declined to make any statement bearing on the coming meeting, when questioned. Mr. McKinley, of the McKinley Coal & Mining Co., said that he was present ata small meeting in the consolli- dated company’s office and agreed to the use of his name on the circular. \‘‘I am of the opinion,’’ he said, ‘‘that the interests of the operators might be materially advanced -4 meeting together and discussing matters Oo mutual interest, but I doubt if the movement on foot will bring about any degree of benefit. There,is so much sharp com petition and feeling among the coal men that it seems almost nent to. get them together. Iexpressed thé same opinion the other day when the circular calling acon- ference was broached. Concerning the coal business, Ican say that the winter thus farhas been a disappointment to us. We have had comparatively no cold weather, and there has not been anything like the demand there would be if a genuine cold spell visited this section. I know ‘very little about the objects of the meeting; they will develop at the conference if it is held at all.’’ LOOKS FOR NO ADVANCE. Mr. Wolfofthe Wolf Coal & Mining Co., said he did not attend the meeting at which it was decided to send out the circular and knew of nothing that had transpired then. Hehad, however, agreed to the Kast side meeting. ‘*‘The great trouble in our business,’’ he said, ‘‘is that we went to work to turn out an immense quantity of coal, thinking that the winter would be cold and that there would coal will be increased. There is no doubt that a big demand for the com- modity we supply. The soft weather has prevented anything like the demand we ought to have, and the result is that there is more cval being minedthanis really ueeded. Some of the smaller dealers, who have no office here, will send over a car ortwo and if they cannot dispose of it at once they will sell it down low to get off their hands. There is considerable coal soldin this way and of course this has its effect on the market. Icansay that there is not the slightest ‘danger of any movement being started to run up the price of coal to the consumer. The wholsale dealers have pepece intention and if they had they could not very well carry it out.’’ MR. SYLVESTER of the Sylvester Coal & Mining Co. said: ‘‘We operate mines and sell coal wholesale and re- tail, but we have not gone in any movement with the Consolidated or any other company and we are in business on our account and propose to run it accordingly.’’ THE EAST SIDE MEETING.

A gentleman connected with one of the big coal com panies said that the _ real objects oO the meeting were to discuss the excessive supply and to take stich steps as would secure uniform prices and enable the operators to deal in a systematic way with the miners. He said there was too much jealousy and rivalry among the heavy operators, however,to permit of a like the foundation of a strong association. ANOTHER COAL DEALER’S VIEW. Another coal dealer whoexpressed aversion to the use of his name said: ‘‘If this.plan of the principal operators is carried ut the miners and consumers will both suffer. The association, if the leaders succeed in getting it well formed, will place the operators in an exceedingly powerful sition. They can make whatever terms they please with the miners, and can if they take the notion run up the price of coal, which, of course, will have to be borne by the consumers in the long run. This matter of making a move for mutual benefit is nota new one among the operators of the Southern lilinoits mines. The trouble in the past has been due to the refusal of some of the ps aap wash to join in any as- sociation with the other companies. it may that the same trouble will be experienced again by the companies working tocarry outthe plan. The plan of organization, I have been inforimed, is to have a committee appointed from the oper- ators to be composed of one for each of the nine railroads which carry the coal out of the mining districts in this direction. The company, ifitis appointed, is to have con- trolofthe output, and when the supply gets torunning ahead of the demand the com- mittee can shut down the shipping all along ~ FLOWERS IN POETRY. THE FAVORITES WHOSE PRAISES ARE SUNG IN ENGLISH VERSE. The Universal Love of Shakspeare and the Choice of Iesser Poets—The Daisy Leads All the Rest, From Chaucer’s Day Onward. ‘‘The cultivation and ¢are of flowers,’’ said a prominent St. Louis florist whose hot- houses furnish a large proportion of the buds and blossoms that brighten the ball-rooms or deck the mahogany of swell 8. Louls at all its most exclusive routs or dinners, ‘‘aside from the sheer pleasure to be derived from the work itself is full of fascinating associa- tion and the most delicate influence. A florist is very apt to become an idealist, despite the fact that he raises flowers primarily for his bread and butter, and he must possess the keenest sense of the beautiful, intensified by a constant study of itas shownin the flower world to aspire to becominga master of his art. ‘‘Flowers and the higher form of perma- nent and lasting literature, that gentle ‘solar walk’ wherein the souls and minds of poets dwell, are assoeiated so closely that a lover of either is bound to‘become a student of both. One cannot live among beautiful flowers and one or more of the railroad lines by notifying the operators not to send any on that a bgnewed day. It stands to reason that if he association has this power it will exercise the mearrege of raising the prices of coal. But owing tothe feeling among the opera- tors, it may be thatthe whole movement will fall through.’’ WATCHING THE OUTCOME. . Ifthe plan to form an association does succeed, it will, itis gen@rally understood, be organized and mana entirely in East St. Louis on account of the anti-trust law uristatate books. Such an as- d come under the provisions of dealers have had organi- but never seemed to have h success in holding them together any h of time.

Represen- refrain from growing into almost unconscious unison with the spirit of poesy, nor learn to love thé gentle and pure song of the poets without developing a poet’s love for flowers. I have sometimes been surprised that none of the clubs of Sst. Louis, those devoted especially to the study of the poets of various ages and eras, have. not taken up for discussion this fascinating topic of the mutual relation of flowers and poetry, say under the head either of ‘Flowers in Poetry’ or ‘Poetry in the Flower World.’ It would open the doors to one of the most ex- quisite studies possible to appreciative treat- ment. j THE POETS’ FAVORITE FLOWERS. ‘‘An evening, for instance, devoted to a Study of the favorite flowers of different poets should deyelop into a rather pleasant experience, and one that might possibly sur- prise some students of the subject. English poets are enthusiastic lovers of flowers, while the verses of Oriental poets are heavy with their perfume. Enough ofa thing ts chose to gild refined gold or paint the ifly. *« ‘Of old English flowers the praise of none has been sung more generally the daisy (day’s eye). Allofthe poets have sung its praises in a greater or less de and none 7 es a ee ee flower, was the favorite of the author of ‘Faerie Queene:’ ”’ ‘* *Pure as its own white blossoms,and loved lillies,’ he says, were his heart’s choice.” FLOWERS SUNG BY SHAKSPERARE, ‘*‘Shakspeare, impartial and noncommital as nature herself, gives us a flower garden. ‘**Banks whereon the wild thyme grows.’ Violets sweeter that the Hds of Juno’s eyes. ‘Lilies of all kinds, the flower-de- luce being one.’ ‘Pansies for thought, rosemary for remembrance.’ Shaks r has no favorite. . The fennel, the columbine, dernel, rank fumitery, thorns and briars, hemlocks and mendragora all have a place in his world as they have in nature. ‘* Shakspeare, the most wonderful ofall poets, found everything good after its kind. ‘*Milton’s flowers bear p@ comparison to Shakspeare’s,no more than tie artificial s ofa French miliner doto the wild m tain rose, glistening with the mcs | dew. lton’s bouquet of favorite lossoms were spoken of in Lycidos—the white pink, pale jessamine, pansy freaked with jet, the well-attired woodbine, and every flower that sad embroidery wears. In his ‘Para- dise,’ the fruits take Milton’s eye more than the flowers—‘the purple grape,’ ‘nectarine fruits, which the compliant boughs yielded, savory pulp.’ Keats has hinted that Milton was something of an epicure, certainly he can spread a table so as not to mfx tastes. But bring Taste after taste upheld with kindliest change. ‘‘After his blindness Milton was peculiarly sensitive to the odor of flowers. DRYDEN, POPE AND DR. JOHNSON. ‘*Dryden was too heavy of learning and Pope too didactic to sing of flowers, yet ru- mor says we are indebted to Pope for intro- ducing into England the weeping willow. The story runs thus; the poet received a basket of figs from Turkey, and observed a twig of the basket putting out a shoot. He planted it and from this sprung the weeping willow of England. Dr. Johnson, although no poet, was such a friend ofthe poets that one nat- urally classes him with his friends. This distinguished and wonderful -erotic genius had a taste in flowers as peculiar and unex- cted as his genius often essed. His avorite, he said, was the cauliflower, which ns SOS surpassed all other flowers of its c s. ‘“‘Cowper loved the grateful shade trees.. Our favorite elms were his delight. He en- joyed, too, The lime at dewey eve diffusing odors; ‘ ** And the ge Poplar that with silver lines his leaf. Not that he forgot the flowers, by with streaming: wish toed Be and blossom into the fresh bud na ture’s loveliness and never take n * 1 enough, however, and the West does not nae ® lives conform as closely to their ‘teaching as William Wordsworth. ‘*Byron with all of his magnificent poetry of soul cared little for flowers. He mentions the rose but even in that he betrays the sensualist rather than the lover: Who can view the ripened rose nor seek to wear it? ‘*Colerid touches flowers with exquisite grace, but his choicest are found in the Vale of Chamounit af the foot of Mount Blanc: Loving flower of loveliest blue, The fringed gentians. ‘“The birch owes to him a debt of gratitude for thus complimenting it: Most beautiful of forest trees, The Lady of the Woods. ‘*Shelley has pronounced the tube rose ‘the sweetest flowér for scent that grows,’ but Shelley was almost too ethereal to care for pee and his own ‘sensitive plant’ est represents him. ? ‘‘Keats pays homage to the lily of the valley as the queen of flowers, but nevertheless has his other loves. ‘Sweet peas.on tip-toe fora flight’ rose exotics with rich perfumes, ripe fruits he offers, too, with fresh cream, and others until we awake to his sad words, ‘I feel the datsies growing over me.’ TENNYSON AND THE LOTUS. ‘‘Klegant and elaborate as Tennyson is,and knowing that his own country home on the Isle of Wightis a stately mansion, surrounded by a lawn like velvet, that rare exotics scat- ter their charms, and graceful vines lend gladden the’ eye of poets, we would expec scape gardener, surround a palace of art within a garden meet for royal tastes. He bends nature to his pur- pose, never distorts her. “The long walks and drives that Tennyson takes in England have made him familiar beauty. But the flower that son . loves is not an English flower. It is known in ~—— or America. ‘“The lotus, his favorite, blooms in lands far more enchanting than these and Tennyson has sung its te so sweetly that listening to him we are tempted to believe: Surely, surely, slumber is more sweet than toil, the re Than labor in the deep midocean, wind and wave r.

A FARMER AT OGLE STATION TAKES TOO MUCH MORPHINE. A Probable Division of St. Clair County— Meeting of the Belleville City Council To-Morrow—News From Across the Big Bridge. William Flinn, a promingnt farmer of Ogle Station, ten miles from E St. Louis, on the Short Line road, took ah overdose of mor- phine Friday night and narrowly escaped death. The fact that the dose was several times as much as would be requiredto kill a person Was alithat saved his life. He took the dose for toothache, not knowing how much was required to soothe the pain, and in caiculating the dose he fortunately went to one Of the extremes. His wife gave him an emetic when she saw that he was in danger of death, and according to the report that A THRILLING DRIVE, — A TRIP THROUGH THE INDIAN COUNTRY GRAPHICALLY DESCRIBED. The Narrow Escapé Oity Auditor Brown Once Had~Massacre of the McComas Family—“‘Jack’’ Sturgis’ Death—The Murder of Mr. Risque by Indians. Written forthe SUNDAY Post-Disparcu. Now that the Indians are disturbing the peace of a portion of the country and killing off some of our country’s bravest men and soldiers, and desolating homesin North and East as well asin the West, interest is taken in everything pertaining to the wily red- skins. There is scarcely a just man who does not récognize in many respects how unjustly the poor, ignorant Indian is treated in his own country, without means of enlighten- ment, hunted and starved and wronged. No wonder he dances the ghost dance, no won- der he rebels. Whilst not voting, the Indian suffers for the very votes that make the nation’s politicians and the blotch on the _ glorious’ -govern- ment of America will never be removed until posts cease to be sold-for votes and the Indian Commissloners are appointed for their justice and truth and kindness, and not for so much money or for somany votes. Toallow these poor savages no food, scarcely any com- fort, and to allow these men to. establish liquor shops, where the bad whisky is sold in unlimited quantities tothe poor wild creat- ures to brutalize and set them still more wild, cries to heaven for vengeance. To show the corruption with which the Indian Commis- sion is carried out will be most forcibly illustrated by a remark made the other day toa SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH representative by one of the most prominent men in this city whose high official position often calls him to Washington. ‘‘I was with a group of men, all in high po- sitions,’’ he said, ‘‘oneday, when a discus- sion arose as to what post of honor,or rather, what most lucrative post would be preferred to give out In Washington.’’ **From a financial standpoint,” said the Keenest one, ‘‘Let me be an Indian Commis- sioner.’ , i ‘‘This is the story in a nut shell, and this is why the commissioners grow wealthy and the Indians grow wild. But it is nota dis- cussion of the Indian question to which this article is to be devoted, but following the tide of public events, the SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH will give to its readers'a few of- the cases of St. Louisans who have been kKilledor had nar- row escapes from Indians. The first case is the very narrow escape of the present City -Auditor and former Mayor of St. Louis, Hon. Joseph Brown. Ex-Mayor Brown’s narrow escape from the Apache Indians took place in the summer of i881. Mr. Brown said: ‘*‘Many persons in St. Louis will still remember when in the sum- mer of 1881 it was flashed across the wires that ex-Mayor Brown and party had beeen massacred ‘by the Indians in New Mex- ico. The Chicago Times and other papers had lengthy obituaries of myself. There are but few men who live to read their own life his- tory written by others as I did, which even in the Chicago papers was laudatory. The true account of THE NARROW ESCAPE made by me atthat time has never been in print, because the account Ithen wrote of it, while still out there, was-captured by the Apaches, and I coming along afterwards found the manuscript.I had sentto the St. Louis papers lying oution the Mesa (desert), whereit had been captured, ina mail-bag that had been rified by.the Indians. But to 5 that a selfish thin fo ferred if ’ thing?’’ em ing the word. ‘‘Why, I said you couldn ’t kill a ten feet from you with Bont expect to use't ohiy i atuae 4 Oo use it o an emer een I asked him what emeravae and he replied: **Well, do you su *m those red devils mut fate me ee me. Oh, = if I find we fall into their hands. HF rg u this tomy ear and let her . . answered, ‘‘every en will eoonae oe ay Pay 1° ellow for ‘himself!’’ A! er that we rode on in the Silence “neither hiss gees a deed, I thought there was a sort of deathly chill, a sort of sepulchral tone in out voices, and I preferred not to talk as I was afraid he = t pring some other thing onme like the little stol incident. could a but think r I pre we die that we should die And yet what difference would it make? A &@ long pause he spoken too selfishly, he said: get surrounded, or in a ket, the best thing Is to sump out of the buckboard, cut the har- ness he head horses, jump on them and try to run the gauntlet the best we can, and then—every fellow for himself!’’ At nightfall as we entered the canyon it was very dark, and we would expect no moon till 2 o’clock. SO we groped our way along, sometimes in the road and sometimes out of it, until we found ourselves in the bed of a dry creek, the creek banks precipitous on each side and too narrow to turn round. Indeed, for some time I had been walking ahead of the horses to try and find the way out until THE WOLV8S and coyotes began to get too familiar, and we could hear them snapping at each other and see theireyes glaring in the darkness like coals of fire! en we were afraid to make any noise fearing the Indians might camped near by, and hear us, for they seemed to be on every hill top, and lurking behind every bush. We worked stealthily and both lifted atthe buckboard to try and twist it round =. until started in their sockets. we y got the horses by the yp and hitched them to the back of it, pulling it back fully a quarter of a mile before we found the road, then we went on again in Egyptian darkness, darkness that could be felt, with two almost rpendicular walls of rock on each side at east a thousand feet high, that formed the canyon. Several times when we looked ahead, and saw a cluster of Mexican soap weed looming up before us, that looks in the night so much like an Indian with his blanket and feathers, or when we would hear noises, we would come toa dead stop, and after a ause of some minutes, ome would say o the other: ‘‘What 4d think?’’ The answer would be: ooks d. What do you think it was?’’ Butwe knew we might as well go on, not knowing but we were sealing our deat warrants either by going or staying. Soon we heard the bark of a dog. Isaid it was an Indian dog’s bark, but the cowboy thought not. He said Indian dogs had a snapping bark, like a wolf, while a civ- llized dog’s bark had less snapinit. So we ‘stop and held a cOnsultation whether we should go on and take the chances orturn. I can remember I felt myself turn deadly pale andcold. Wefinally both concluded that it would never dototurn back, that there was as much danger behind as in “front and that we ghtas well die there as any- where, We went on and era! came to elght wagons in charge of a lotof Mexicans who were taking the chances, and had loaded their teams with flour that was then $50 a barrel, owing to travel being driven from the road. We stopped and tried to talk, but made @ R008 cut at it, but Inever felt so friendly th a lot of Greasers in my life. I felt like hugging them and calling them brothers. Leaving them we rode on all night without further adventure, the full moon rising at 2 o’clock. And oh, that moon! It never looked so beautiful before or since. Itseemedtosay: ‘‘I am —- this for you;’’ and we felt grateful! Our gratitude can be better understood when I state that much ofthe time the horses had been floundering along and mages their way over boulders as big as my headand going around others too big to go over that ha fallen from the sides of the canons. When the moon arose we went more rapidly, if not rey along. And here some may ask why we didn’t wait till re Lreply that to travel in daylight would have been certain death. When the moon rosewe both felt more cheerful, and I ventured to sayto my partner: ‘‘What induced you to offer to make this trip and by that open the way for meto go for by this time I wag fearfully regretting that [had come. He said, ‘‘Mister, there’sa gal behind this trip, and she’s down in Texas, and I lovethat gal better than my life, but her old mother has A RANCH under mortgage, and if I can’t lift it another fellow richer than I can, and he wants her and stands ready to do it, but we have got six weeks yet to raise the money, and I’m going to do it or die.’’ ( ‘*With the moon now shining resplendently ards, I ying mutilated on the in the heac buck board, whic! birned over him. There also I f a letter I had written to the St. Louls papers atthe Springs. wifen I found tl -bo would not take my trunk. We carried to Fat Cummings about twelve mi it for burial.

This awful oc- currence Was widely published at the time.’’ THE M’COMAS tragedy will be well remembered by the St. Louls people, who knew and admired the ey | and were shocked at their awful fate. Sometimes it seems impossible to forgive the Indians, or the ones who brought about these awfulcrimes, And yet, old St. Louisans will remember how years ago, thousands of In- dians, bucks, squaws and whole families were stationary at one time right across from St. Louison ‘‘Bloody Island,’’ when (being, of course, disarmed) they were supplied wit rations, from the Government, whilst on the wa from the South to Dakota an other counties allotted to them, and pending the exchange of the boats’ for stronger ones to brave the snags of the river. The red men behaved themselves fairly well, but there was justice in that time. Our In- dian Commissioner did not grow at once rich as now and 217 Indians did not starve to death in a short time. ep tet ApeyA will remember, or many will, the killing in a battle of Jack Sturgis, a young military officer, who was a son of Gen. Sturgis, and whose family was living at that time in St. Louis, when the news of his death was received In association with the untimely death of brave young Jack Sturgis there comes tothe mind of the writer a story told by one of his ri cousins, and at that time as now, a res!- ent ofthe West, though attending school at the convent here. She would tell the pathetic story of ‘*Rosebud Creek’’ where with Gen. Custer, young Jack Sturgis met death by the redskins. ‘‘We were inthe town not far off when we heard firing contin- ually and knew that a battle was in progress. At firstas we had retired we tried to cover our heads and deaden the sounds, but becoming alarmed we rose and went to to a church, where allthe women and chil- dren of the town huddled, shivering in fear. At last our suspense was ended, the dying and dead soldiers, killed by the Indian rebels, were brought intothe church, and then we learned that Cousin Jack was one of the brave soldiers who fellat the deadly aim of ti red man.’’ One of the worst murders by the Indians of any St. Louisan was that eight years ago last April of Mr. John F. Risque, a prominent citi- zen of St. Louis, whose wife was Miss Robin- son, daughter of Georg@ R. Robinson of Kirk- wood, and whose brother is Mr. F. W. Risque whois well known: as connected with the Kansas & Texas CoalCo. Atthetime of the murder Mr. Risque had gone out near Silver City, N. M., 6n some mining interests. A party of three, of whom ®ne was Mr. Risque, had left Silver City to visit some mines, when they were attacked bya party of Apaches, who merely ran across them by cHance. There was nowar trouble at that time, so the attack was merely a vicious one and the motive robbery. The party defended themselves as well as possible, but were finally overpowered. Twoof them were killed, Mr. Risque and one of his companions, whilst the other, Mr. John R. Magruder, escaped and is now living in Old Mexico. All the valuables Mr. Resque had with him, gold. money and watch, were captured by the red men, but justice soon overtook the wretches, for they were shortly afterwards captured by ‘| a party of Mexican soidiers who returned the valuables to the family lateron. There wasa sensation at the time of the massacre. Wuy suffer with bronchitis, coughs or colds? Leslie Coughine will cure you. Price, 25 cents, MISSOURI AFRO-AMERICANS.

Itisin the nature of: alight opera festival. Thename of McCaull is identified with high Class production of comic opera, the organ- fgation bearing the name having ranked ' @mongthe best inthe country. The reputa- tion of the management assures a handsome production, but the present company 1s put forward as the finest that has been presented before the public. It has been enlarged es- pecially for this engagement, and the ~ operatic forces number 200 persons, An aug- mented orchestra and a band are among the additional features, while the company car- ries itsown scenery, and beautiful staging Is promised. The organization includes a number of well known and popular comic opera among whom are Helen Bertram, Laura Joyce Bell, Josephine Knapp, Annie Myers, Digby Hell, Chas. W. Dungan, Chauncey Olcott, W. ¥. Rochester, Cora Henderson and others, The engagement will open to-morrow night with a production of Von Suppe’s opera *‘Clover,’’ which has had remarkable suc- cess, although this will be fts first production in English ere. The -opera is said to be bright and charming, full of comedy, and’ also of bright and melodious music. The mame is derived from the parting gift A four -leaf clover, of a maiden to her lover, who is about to _ set out ona year’s adventurous travel prior to becoming a benedict. In the mad whirl of Parisian dissipation he foratime forgets the true-hearted little ‘‘madthen,’’ who, as he supposes, is far away inthe little German vil- lage, but who isin fact following him wit) her maid, and.in various disguises never loses sight of him. On the battlefield § she shares his danger, and in Venice when tired of h gay life he has been living, he longs for peace and happiness, she discloses her identity to him,and forgiving all they are married. It isa bright, pretty opera, full of excellent music and most delightfully rendered. Digby Bell has a character said to be particularly adapted to his style of com. edy, and he generally keeps the audience ina roar of laughter. Miss Bertram, Laura Joyce lil, Chauncey Alcott, William Blatsdell,: . Annie Myers, Josephine Knapp, Chas, Dun- gan have each characters which are said to suit them well. To-morrow’s performance will be the 1,200th of the opera and it will be commemorated by the distribution of handsome souvenirs to all | whoattend. **Olover’’ will run until Thursday night, when ‘‘The Black Hussar,’’ with all the ortgi- nal music, new scenery and costumes, mili- tary bandand trained horses will be put on for three performances, and the week will close with the first performance in English ‘here of Millocker’s ‘‘Seven Suabtans.’’ THE GRAND—‘‘THE SEA KING.’’ This evenifig at the Grand Opera-house will open the engagement of the Willlam J.

From all accounts the new opera has proved an artistic as well as a popular success, and asa musical composition is said to rank very high. It is sald that it not only possesses much melodic charm, butis entitled to-be Tanked with the most successful of comic operas, The story of the opera, which Is ype original, is of the romantic sort, in which the composer has atheme which is especially suited to his genius, which finds its highest inspiration and obtains its greatest possibilities in the realms of ro. mance. Itisclaimed also that the opera is the greatest success of the present New York season, and that its production here will be identical as that of Palmer’s Theater, where ifwas given a successful run of fifty nights. The costumes are from plates furnished from a leading designer, and historically correct, while the scenery is from the studios of sey- eral well-known scenic artists. The chorus s .said to be the largest as well % the prettiest seen for some. time Marty operatic organization. The orchestra iit be increased to thirty, and under the direction ot Mr. Herman Perlet. The scene of the opera is laidin Spain, the time being the latter part of the thirteenth century. The Sea King is the principal character. His throne has been usurped by his uncle, Don Bambula, and he is obliged to support him. self by smuggling. The Sea King ts im- pelled to botb honor and render handsome all with whom he associates. Bambula hasa niece. Dolores, a beauty, and proposes to let Mateo, the Sea King, marry her if he will con- fer a fine personal appearance upon himself, Bambula being desirous of beauty, so that a village belle, Rosita, will wed him. Bambulais really practicing du- pity ashe means to marry his niece to somebody else. The opera ts full of intrigues, Disaster after disaster overtakes Bambula, who finally gives - the struggle for a wife, succumbs to the inevitable, and dcknowl- ediges Mateo as his son-in-law.

The story is one of sensational interest, and it is put on in the most thrilling mapner pos- sible, a large amount of special scenery being ca rried. The piece himges upon the adventures of Harry Farley, whom Sydney Heaton endeav- ors to ruin by means of the most detestable villainy. The play is in five acts, many of which are very exciting and which furnish situations of startling character with good climaxes. These scenes are portrayed with close attention to accuracy of detafl.

Manager Norton has been giving his per- sonal attention to that part of the Grand Opera-house behind the footlights, and the result is a condition of comfort for actors and of efficiency in the stage forces which are probably not equaled anywhere else. As-an actor Mr. Norton c » * Mark Smith, who appears at.the Grand Opera -house in ‘‘The Sea King,’’ is declared by his friends to be ‘‘camera crazy ;’’ that he is an amateur photographer of the most ‘*positive’’ description. A few years ago, during the Haymarket riots in Chicago,when dynamite plots were the sole topic of conver- sation, he conceived the idea of taking a flash light photograph ofa group at gnidnight in his room at the hotel of that city, The tran- som was carefully covered and eyen the key- hole stopped up to exclude any friendly ray of light. The night watch n cast rather suspicious eye on this dark chamber. Finally the group consisting of several well-known theat- rical men was arranged and everything was in readiness for the ‘‘flash.’’ *‘Now be steady and don’t wink,’’ said Mark, atthe same time lighting about a pound of the powder. Bang! Crash! Therecame a Dlinding light and an explosion which shook the hotel to its foundation. The baritone and his friends rushed into the hall, only to be met by the hight watchmen and a posse of able-bodied policemen, who had rushed up with the idea of taking the dynamiters red-handed. It re- quired all the eloquence of the theatrical eople to convince them that they were not nany way connected with Herr Most & Co. Mark says he has not since used anything but homeopathic doses of the flash powder. * * * There willbe av®hearsal of the chorus of the Choral Symphony Society on Monday evening, Jan. 5, at the Pickwick, at 8 o’cloeck.

Hagey said on the stand that he was chased into his house by Grant; that Grant was a dangerous man; that he did fire three shots, but he did soto scare Grant away; he was afraid of Grant; that all the neighbors were afraid of Grant. George Grant is of a humor- ous turn of mind and held up his left hand to take the oath. ‘*The other hand, please,’’ said the court. So George held up both hands. Witness did not, he said, use a hatchet while chasin Hagey ;it wasa plank. He carried the plan to keep the bullets off. He did not like to be hit with bullets. Yes, he believed they would hurt him. Other witnesses saw the affair and said that Grant had a board, not a hatchet. The jury retired and, after due deliberation, found that defendant was entitled to carry a plank to keep the bullets off. .

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.—The Chronicle pub- lishes a letter from Bartholdi under date of Paris, Dec. 5, in which he says: In a few months the United States will cele- brate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus and I am asked tosay what sortofan exhibition the American people should inagurate to commemorate that eventful date. I am de- cidedly of the opinion that, although the ex- hibition should be international tn character, considerable prominence should be given to the national side of the show. America, which geologists believe to be the oldest por- tion of the globe we inhabit,is the youngest.or one of the youngest of discovered continents, and the advent of the United States among civilized nations demands special attention. The year 1892 will be a memorable event in her history, and the exhibition should be planned, not to show the world at Chicago what lier elders have already attempted else- where, but what four centuries have dane to make the United States greater to-day than most of the oldest counties on earth. The moment has come for summing up 400 years of time, wherein the United States has reached such a stage of prosperity that it — the respect and admiration of the world. While candidly inviting the whole world to contribute its usual exhibits; the Chicago Fair should strive to be as perfectly repre- sentative as possible of the country and the anniversary it commemorates. It is the United States as a nation and the entire American Continent that should be placed on exhibition. It should be the most majes- tically symbolic ‘‘American display’’ that the nation or the world ever has wit- nessed, and that is why Congress has done we to locate the show at an _ interior int. Chicago has accepted an enormous responsponsibility. The American nation and foreign countries expect that the World’s Fair in that city shall not be second to the Paris Exposition, and to fulfill this expectation she must make it beautiful, This esthetic feature, I asan artist wouldinsist upon. The general char- acter of the show should be rendered evi- dent rather by the manner in which objects are presented and brought into play rather than by their accumulation. lam apprehen- sive from the rapidity with which the bulld- ings are beingrun up that their decorative character may fall short of the wonder of their construction. Theclaims of Columbus rank pre-eminent and a special museum in- cluding every object of interest, either in the originals or fac-similes, the house where he was born, the books, papers. portraits, let- ters, furniture, arms and the costumes relat- ingtothe greatcaptain and his family, the very chains with which he was loaded. by Bobadilla in the old Moorish tower at Santi Domingo will prove intensely attractive to Americans and foreigners alike. Lake Michigan might obviously be utflized to float acaravel modeled after the one which brought Columbus on his voyage to America. As regards the more modern features of the fair, instead of a mere huge bazaar heaped with the miscellaneous contemporary produc- tions of all countries, I would have ita vast illustration of the historic progress of civili- zation as shown in the application of science and the artsto the ——— of peace. Ool- lective industries from cities and towns rather than a multitude of individual exhibits would be far preferable, and these as often as possible presented in a picturesque and an active form. France cannot do otherwise than take a leading part in the rally at Chi- cago.

Merrick of Denver, Colo., called at the United States Mint in this city witha brick of silver, weighing 514.5 ounces ffne and presented it to the clerk and demanded that it be coined into money for them.

HOWARD DISCUSSES WHITE AND INDIAN MARRIAGES. He Explains Why They Cannot Be Happy —Ghildren Intelligent but Likely to Be Deficientin Moral Character—Some In- teresting Life Stories. Written for the SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH. An old friend of the writer ofthis paper often remarks that the Bible history of the children of Israel and their heathen neigh- bors always remind oneofthe present In- dian customs. bably the converse is the more exact statement, viz., that the customs of our Indian tribes and their rough neighbors often remind us of the ancient Israelites and their strange neigh- bors. In the tribe of Dan, Samson, the son of Manoah, was born about the year 1156 before Christ. He became a giant in strength, and, a half employed character, seems to have been set apart for the punishment of the wicked Philistines, who were the uncomforta- ble neighbors of the Danites. On one occasion he went down to Tinnath, saw a Philistine woman that delighted his eyes ; so Sampson said to his father: ‘‘Get her for me for she pleaseth me well.’’ He married her, and the result of uniting Hebrew and heathen was a most unhappy life for both. By the threat of ‘‘burning her and her father’s house with fire,’’ the enemies of Israel suc- ceeded in making her entice and betray her husband, and so there was through this treachery a terrific war brought on. The story is familiar to every child. A like tale, thoroughly true, repeats itself inthe neighborhood of hundreds of our In- dian tribes. On our frontiers, when we had frontiers, the white man, whether Spaniard, Mexican, Frenchman, English or American, An Indian Bride. who married an Indian woman, was called a ‘‘squaw man,’’ and ina few in- stances the ‘‘squaw man’’ has been made to suffer betrayal like Samson of old; and then have resulted some of the most relentless wars of our time accompanied with outrage, burnings and slaughter. But yet the results have not, in the .main, bad. It ts thought thatthe putting of a man upon a horse adds to the picture of the man and the horse, but while it does this, it always takes something from the dignity of the manto be so mounted. We have hardly visited A TRIBE OF INDIANS without finding at least one white man mar- ried to an Indian girlor woman. The wife soon learns from him to live in a house and to do the work, in a rough way, that women did in the house of his youth. She is raised to a higher mode of living, learns to dress fairly well, and is a true friend and com ion to her husband; but he himself usually has shrunk away into a lowerlife. His personal cleanliness suffers, his clothing is shabby and his self-respect is lowered. So in sucha pair the man has less dignity in carriage while the woman has more than the queen of the proudest Indian chieftain, but cannot well stand up and compete with her worthy white sisters in the essentials of a prosperous home life. It may be well to particularize. Near Fort Stevens, Ore.,a strong youn man many years ago settled uponafarm. I was before the old Governor of Washington Territory carried a = load of marriageable teachers around Cape Horn and white women were few and far between. He marrieda woman of a neighboring Indiantribe. He earried on a good trade with the garrison at the fort; was enterprising and often obtained fat contracts, and so accumulated a comfort- able fortune. His squaw made him a good faithful wife. Her love for him caused her to study to make his home more and more tidy as the ears went on, but she mostly kept apart rom white women. Her children learned to dress better than their mother and gathered in the useful knowledge, social and prac- tical, of other American youth. The eldest son has already replaced his fatherin honest and profitable business and the daughters are respectably married. In Eastern Oregon there was a few years ago a superb family. The husband was a tall dark-eyed Frenchman. At one time for quite a period he was the trusted agent of the Gov- ernment. There were THREE BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS. In grace of figure and movement, in ele- gance of attire and in the various accom- plishments of gifted women, few could surpassthem. The wife and mother, how- ever, always keptin the background. She was really aservantin the household. She talked little English and shrank from every social attention. She had advanced far be- yond the women of her tribe, but never for- got for one moment that she wasan Indian, so even here in the most successful instance of white and Indian marriage it was next to impossible for the polished French gentle- man, in the estimation of his white neighbors, to rise above the recognized con- dition of a ‘‘squaw-man.’’ The old ‘‘voyageurs,’’ French emigrants to the West from Canada, who served the North- western fur companies and traveled through the wilds of Oregon, were encouraged to set- tle here and there among the Indian tribes. They were naturally led to marry Indian women. The Hudson’s Bay Co., it is said, made a policy to favor such marriages. Therefore you find half-breeds and French descendants of these enterprising ‘‘voyageurs’’ wherever you travel in that dark region. They are not gen- erally on a par with our best business eg ap of the weet, Cees some are on the front line of progress, yet, for the most part, they area kind, steady, self-supporting race. Their sires or their grandsires were the husbands of Indian women. Many of their descendants to-day are in the West, as they usually are in Texas,. proud of their Indian blood.

It was the bridge you cross to go from Walia Walla to Fort Colville.

Ward went there last spring to, if possible, bring about a combination with the American Association. .The news is faise. While Ward was in Chicagolast March he received a long dispatch from A, W, Thur- man, then the attorney for the Columbus Club, in which the Players’ League-Ameri- can Association combination scheme was offered, and Ward urgéii to come to Col- umbus, at Columbus’ expense, fora talk with the Association people then in _ ses- sion there. A consultation was held and Ward went on a_ prospecting tour more than anything else. Almost the same plan as that outlined in Philadelphia last fall by Whittaker, Von der gihe and Phelps, ex- cept that it was broader, was spread out and discussed. Ward could not and would not decide anything, reported to his people and broke away. The plan offered at Columbus was broader than that of last fall. It in- ‘cluded most of the clubs. That offered at ‘Philadelphia was virtually a throw-down for all but Louisville, Columbus and St. Louis, with Columbus one-half in. It wastobea Philadelphia Players’ Club, athletic amal- gation and a. twelve club, Sunday game, get - what - you - can - at - the - gate circuit. After the historic escape from the Continental by the underground route the scheme was given tothe clubs in detail and laughed at, as it deserved to be. But the American Association hung onto the hope of such a combination for several weeks, and its magnates mailed inquiries for news as to its reception by the Players’ League people. The Players’ leaders: then had but one idea only and no thought of a ‘‘slump.’’ That idea was to brenk the national agreement group or force an entrance to it—compromise,. pure and simple, infact: But the retreat began with negotiations and the rest is well-known history now. CLEVELAND’S NEW GRAND STAND. The plans for the new grand-stand of the ~ Cleveland League Club arejust out. It will be of one floor only, with private boxes and with neariy seventeen hundred opera chairs. The ‘*bieachers’’ will seat 2,500 more. The stands will be sightly and with their furniture and equipments will cost about $10,000. Their feature will be broad and easy exits and en- trances an@gzood looks from the outside—a necessity. Because the new park is ina resi- dence section of the city. Al Johnson now considers that, so far as the Eastern clubs are concerned, the Players’ ‘League may soon become acorpse. The Phil- .adelphia and Boston clubs are waiting for As- sociation franchises and will be satisfied to et them and retire. But a second ‘‘throw down” may starta new Players’ League. It is certain that the American Association will be disappointed so far as a franchise in Chi- cagois concerned. Without Sunday games and a 2-cent tariff an Association franchise in Chicago will be woith “nothing. AS recently as_ 1887 a Western League team with Sunday games, and Sam Morton, Spalding’s employe, as manager, was in operation in Chicago. So Mr. Spalding’s objection to Sunday games at this time can be but a subterfuge to Keep out an Association team. Generally it is known that the Association is becoming restive under the National League’s coercion, and it may ' be that in the end it will see that its easiest and best way is independence outside the na- tional agreement and side: by side with the Players’ League remnant. A. G. Spalding’s move on John Addison of the @hicago Players’ League club, which caused the latter players ¢o get 90 per cent of the $5,900 owing to them, was suggested to him by Al Johnson at New York early in November, as soon as it was known that Ad- dison meant to sell out and ‘‘bilk’’ his play- ers. Addison supposed he was selling for $15,000 from A. G. Spalding, $10,000 from the National League and $15,000 of the New York Consolidated stock promised him by E. A.Mc- Alpin and E. B. Talcott, who made the deal for him with A. G. Spalding. THE COMING CONFERENCE. New YORK, Jan. 3.—Next week the base ball magnates will take possession of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and there-will be one grand effort to unravelthe multifarious snarls with which they are confronted. President Thur- Notes— embers will pr »babliy be here by the &th or A American Association has been called for the 15th inst: at the same place. Apparently a settlement has been reached by the two Brooklyn clubs. If the stockholders of the Players’ League Club indorse the terms made by President Wendell Goodwin, and they un- doubtediy will, the deal will be completed. "The terms have not been made public, but the club will remove to Eastern Park either next season or the one following. President Byrne will remain at the head of theclub. A ma- jority of the stock will be held by the Leaguers and the Players’ League. Stotkholders will be obliged to pay something for their hold- ings. ‘The sum is variously estimated at from * $5,000 to $15,000. Charles H., Ebbets likely candidate for Secretary and Treasurer. It is announced by one prominent member of the National League that the chances are 20 to 1 against the admission of boston to the American Association. ADDISON OUTGENERALED. President Spalding did a gracious act in saving the salaries of the Chicago White Stocking players. It was clearly understood Jlast spring that the ‘‘gate receipts’ clause in the Piayers’ contract was null and vold, and that the men would be paid their salaries whether or not, the money came in at the gate. Later inthe season the. Chicago club took definite action and committed itself to the payment Of salaries. When John Addison, who afterwards bought a controlling interest In the club, conducted its deal with the Na- tional League throtigh its Players’ League agents, and returned to Chicago, he coolly announced that he did not intend. to pay the layers another cent of the $6,000 due them. his was very nice of Mr. Addison, but Mr. .

The Unpleasant Experience of a West End Those who happened to be passing along Chestnut street near Grand avenue and all who live on that block were treated to a scene yesterday evening rivaling fm thrill the attaqk on the Deadwood coach or a chariot race in a cireus. A pretty, golden-haired girl, a student at the Sacred Heart Convent, was seated ina small t wagon,and the goat a brawny, long- haired animal, was making for Grand‘%eve- nue, westward, at a rate that surprised th spectators. The girl was bare-headed an wore a loose hneglige tea gown. She had _iet of the reins and was holding on to the sides of the wagon, giving short, quick screams for help as the goat pat. tered on in his wild and pes flight, described by a small boy as ‘‘goin’ lickity-split.’’ She pegged of the animal to stop, but he was deaf to all the entreaties of the pale-faced and frightened girl. Suddenly he came toan opening in the street on Grand ‘avenue, where a sewer is being made, and he tried to make a aying leap with his precious load but failed. The wagon was upset and the fair miss was deposited in a rather mixed state into a pile of yellow clay. Jumping to her feet she ka rapid glance around and then ran home, a block away, at a rate quite as rh as that which the goat made. In expla ning. ‘ the circumstances which caused er to take the involuntary wild ride she said, she jumped into the wagon, which belongs to her brother,and the goat, not being used to the sight of tea gowns behind him, plunged through the gate and ran as fast as he could to get away from it. Theanimal ran too fast to allow her to jump, and he outstripped the small boys who ried to stay him in his mad career. ALMOST A CENTENARIAN, Pioneer James Tippett Celebrates His 9lst Birthday.
