INDIAN WAR AGAINST PALEFACE IS ENDED Failure of Ute Uprising Shows There Is No Fight Left in Poor Lo. [Image of a Native American man wearing a feathered headdress and a long white beard]. The American Indian has seen his last days as a fighter. The pathetic crumbling of the Ute uprising shows that Uncle Sam need no longer worry over the former cause of peril and death—the Indian war. From the days when King Phillip, in Massachusetts, organized the first great uprising of the redskin, through two and a half centuries down to the present day, the redman was the most consistent foe that Uncle Sam had the deal with. Wars came with Britain, Mexico, Spain and an internecine struggle threatened the national existence, but these wars, though far more important, lasted only briefly, while the contingent in the Indian was almost continuous. There was never security, for as fast as one tribe would be pacified and another broke out. In the early part of the contest the Indians had to be forced out of the East by the constantly increasing white population, then to be pushed West, and made a hundred-year stand before finally concedeant defeat. In the last quarter century his outbreaks have been sporadic. The Ute uprising is the first threatening move that has attracted attention in a decade. Its futility shows that the government has succeeded in cabling and frightening out of its wards the old, and has succeeded in frightening of consequences or final venom if temporarily damage could be done to the hated palace. The pacification of the Utes quels the last of the great warlike tribes. They held out longest against the government, and it was not until 1889 that they agreed to the opening of their reservation in the choicest part of Colorado's hunting grounds. In that year Chief Ignacio and more than a thou- ture of the warriors ceded their rights to the government in exchange for $50,000 a year and rations. They withdrew to small farming reservations set aside for them in La Plata and Archuleta counties. This act meant the renunciation of the rights to ground over which a proud tribe of 25,000 of their ancestors had once reigned supreme. The Utes had ranked among the bravest of the Indian nations, and were exceeded in ferocity by the Apaches only. Jim Brider, the famous early Western scout, used to tell the whites and with the Cahoon Indians, Comanches, Ute warriors used to deliberately sacrifice their lives in order to secure tactical advantages through which their fellow tribesmen might eventually win their battles. This mad love of fighting really caused the decimation in the ranks of the Utes. When the Union Pacific railroad was taken across the plains in the years between 1860 and 1875, it was the Utes who bravely fought the attack. They had the vain hope that by checking the Utes could keep the plains to themselves, and it took the most constant activity on the part of United States soldiers to prevent the massacre of every palace connected with the work. As long as the white man kept away the Utes stuck to Colorado, but in the early seventies there was a division which sent many to Utah. The Utes, stock from which sprung the Utes, who, during the last few weeks have been causing ```markdown ``` SITTING BULL. some anxiety. But how pitifully short they fall of their ancestors. An Indian uprising used to strike terror through the West. Before its suction point it meant inevitably, many lives taken by the worst the present savages dare had been to steal and kill cattle in defiance of the law. On a pretext such as thieves—that were forced to leave their reservations and go elsewhere lest they stray—the Apaches, the Sloux, the Araphaoes, the Comanches or the Cheyennes would have spread a revolt that would have converted the disturbed district into a shamble for a time. Other tribes would have flashed to their rescue and in the old days it would have taken some such sturdy Indian fighter as Gen. Milies to go out and restore peace. But the romance is gone now. The Indian is reformed. The Carlisle and other tribes have taken many braves out of the hill. The scorn chances of education have nevertheless been able to learn of fear, and shrink from the hopeless conflict with Uncle Sam's soldiers. In the talk of peace parleys it is significant of the degeneration and changed conditions that the Utes run to a Sloux, American Horse, to represent them in their conference with the government. Three decades ago, American Horse was one of the boldest leaders the warlike Indians had. When he fought the soldiers, and many of them fought its soldiers its place at his belt. But he has been the son of the times, and now conducts a line of firewagons between Rusville, Neb, and the Pine Ridge reservation. He is still the vigilant cham THE APPEAL. THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN plon of the Indian, but has learned that he can better serve his race by influencing Washington than by leading his followers in a hopeless revolt. If news of the Indian failure, the GERC NG BULL. last feeble effort of the Utes, comes to Geronimo, now a prisoner of war, what memories must it bring back to the grim old Apache with the cruel features, thin mouth, eyes like the blade of a sword, whose bloodthirsty career was only ended when he was captured by Gen. Miles. Even as late as his time the Indians gave the government serious trouble, and when it placed Geronimo a prisoner at Fort Sill, it felt that a sword had been made for the peace of the War. In 1876 occurred the Sioux war, ever notable was the occasion for the battle of the Little Big Horn, an incident familiar to every schoolboy. The Sioux had violated a treaty by which they agreed to abandon certain lands, and in the summer of 1876 a force of regulars, under, Generals Terry and Crook, were sent into the Black Hills to drive the redskins back to the reservation. Generals Custer and Reno were sent forward to find the exact location of the Indians. The gallant Custer, who had a fine record in the War of the Rebellion, declined to await reinforcements, and attacked the Indians on June 25. The force of the enemy many times exceeded his own, but the intrepid hound was bound of consequences. The set was but poor, so fearfully, for while the exact details of the battle are not known, every man, including Custer himself, was killed, the massacre continuing even after the whites were hopelessly defeated. The Indian leaders in that last great redskin success were Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. Time has avenged the palefaces who fell then, for the submission of the Indian to the United States government is now complete. Since their defeat in the battle of Wounded Knee, they have never been able to muster a dangerous force. The Ute failure undoubtedly ends the chapter.

"In 1904 the number was 150,000, and these were all for table use. Last year an increase of about 10 per cent in this number was reported. The phaean is a table luxury, and in England, France, Germany and Belgium they are reared by the thousands, the breeding is but in the infancy. In ten years however, may be producing a need to supply the local demand and prices will be cheaper than now. The cheapest one can be purchased now is about $2, and from that figure up to $10 or $15 is demanded. "The English and the Mongolian phaeans are game birds, and an increasing demand for them for preserves of clubs and wealthy owners of country seats is noted. We have one breeder in the East who supplies from two to three thousand a season, and he has to import many in order to fill all his orders. "The phaean is a beautiful bird, and by no means difficult to rear or breed. "The plumage is in good demand for millinery purposes. Taxidermists pay as high as $8 and $10 for the skins of the best marked birds. "There are varieties of phaeans that are purely ornamental. They appeal neither to the cook 'nor' to the hunter. "Pheasans cost most in the winter months. About Sept. 1 the breeder adds 10 per cpm to his price. This hei's good until April, when they quit laying. The pheasant is as hardy and as easily reared as the turkey, but they are not domesticated birds. With the pheasant one is dealing with a bird that is sturdy enough to the laws of the land and exhibits many of the instincts of the wild life from which they are really but a few generations removed. They are but cousins to the domestic fowl, and in habits are more like the wild wogru or quail. The longer the breed has been activity the more docile and the better layers they are." **STONE HAD TO SEASON.** They were looking at the monster arch of St. John's cathedral, which serves as a sort of North star in the land and habitats of out-of town sightseers in Harlem and, in fact, all of upper New York city. "Wonder why they don't put some real New York business enterprise into this affair?" asked one. "A skyscraper construction company I know could job the in a year," said another. One of the workmen chipping away at a large mass of stone overheard the conversation. "I'll tell you one reason why this work is not rushed along," said he. "We have to wait for the stone to season. A piece of marble or limestone fresh from the quarry is as little fit to go into a wall-for a cathedral, especially—as a plank from a freshly cut oak is to form the trim in a house. We allow stone to season two years before using it. This cathedral is being put up to stay." Then he told them there was another reason for the father slow work, and that had to do with the matter of funds. Village Gossip.

Defective Page From a stokehoe in the gas works to a place in the mayor's cabinet. Once a policeman, at' an humble salary of $2.38 per day, now head of the same force, having full charge of 5,000 men, and enjoying a salary of $10,000 a year. This little summary of the high spots in the life of Robert J. McKenny, just appointed director of public safety in Philadelphia, is a new and most thrilling illustration of the opportunities of American municipal life. Mr. McKenny is no politician, he has no backing for the place save his good name, and Mr. Mayor Weaver named him as successor. On the Dont Potter on the latter's resignation, the most surprised man of many surprised Philadelphiaians was Mr. McKenny himself. Everybody calls him "Bob" in Philadelphia, his superiors as well as his underlings, and "Bob" they will keep on calling him in spite of his recent elevation and the enforced dignity of his position. No other policeman in any big American city ever before went to the top of his department. Certainly Director McKenny ought to know the police business. He has spent the greater part of his forty-seven years of life in it. His parents were poor, and the future director was only twelve years old when he had to start out to make his own living. No work was too hard when he had to work in the gas works and drove a team. This hard life had the effect of developing a naturally sturdy physique to the powerful muscularity that has stood POLICE him in such good stead during all the years of danger he experienced as policeman, detective and superintendent of Philadelphia's leading penal institution in which are kept one thousand desperate criminals. In 1884 he was made a sub-policeman by Major Smith, and so excellent was his record that in a short time he was promoted to the regular force. He was able to take the Philadelphia police authorities long to discover that in the quiet, blue-eyed little man they had a born detector of criminality, and he was raised to the place of special officer. When the late William S. Stokley was made director of public safety he picked McKeny to be his especial detective, and he was entrusted with all the most dangerous and exacting man. Mayor Stuart made him detective sergeant. During his term as detective in connection with his partner, Capt James I. Donaghy, now chief of detectives in Philadelphia, McKeny was instrumental in running out the Roy Wilson White murder, the Danz-Hosey police officers, and famous Lambert murder in Camden, and the apprehension and capture of a band of burglaries in Buckson county, Pa., to which he and his partner were assigned at the special police station. In the latter case McKeny and his partner at great risk captured four men who were given long terms. When Mayor Weaver was district attorney he selected McKenny and Donaghy to collect evidence in the case of four school directors accused of macing school teachers of large sums of money to get them positions. The accused men had political influence, and the detectives could have realized a large sum for letting them Sneezing and Blessings. The world has always sneezed, and it has always invoked a blessing on itself for doing so, ever since Prometheus called one down upon the clay figures that sneezed when he animated it with celestial fire. An old Buckinghamshire rhyme makes it of importance to us to notice on which day of the week we catch cold: Sneeze on Monday, sneeze for danger; ger; Sneeze on Tuesday, kies a stranger; Sneeze on Wednesday, get a letter; "BOB" M'KENTY, The sub-policeman. DIRECTOR M'KENTY AT HIS DESK IN THE CITY HALL. escape, but the guardians of the law were resolutely honest, and the, all served quartet were tried, and all served when Presidents McKinley or Roosevelt were in Philadelphia it was always Detective McKenny who was placed with them as protector, and both distinguished men frequently praised the care with which McKenny handled his men on these occasions. But all this 'progress' was purely police work, and it never occurred to any of his associates that McKenny would so day head the department he served so faithfully. But not until Mayor Weaver went into the office that McKenny had a chance to demonstrate his executive and directing capacity. Mayor Weaver made him superintendent of the house of correction. McKenny promptly reformed the institution. He corrected abuses, put its gas plant on a paying basis and even devoted himself to the task of uplifting the prisoners. He visited them personally, and all who were not past the chance of a house hand he offered old. He记了 record of achievement that Mayor Weaver picked Mr. McKenny to take charge of Philadelphia's policemen and firemen. There were some few who cavolied the new director lacked a college education, but to these Mayor Weaver replied that while he might take a lawyer to be district attorney, or a financier to be city treasurer, what was most wanted in the department of public safety was a policeman, and as McKenny had been the best officer and detective he knew, it was only fitting that he should be rewarded with the place. He is no vanity in the hero of this remarkable advance. He is just the same to-day as when he was covered with the grime and soot of the stolchek. He is not the sort of man to tilt his chin when fortune comes his way. Nor does he waste his voice. He could not be careless if he tried. He talks like a telegraph message, never a word wasted. This directness of expression is intensified by a habit of keeping his lips close together when talking. His face is resolute and full of expression. It is a strong face, firm but with plenty of kindness in it, and when he smiles the humor is infectious. His eyes are small and deep-set, but they are never still when he is awake. They draw to more mils when he is merry, and become almost hidden when he is roused, but this latitude of his wrists is rare, for the new director has ever wasted his power in bursts of bad temper. Mrs. McKenny is as large as the director is small. She weighs 250 pounds and makes no secret of it. There are five boys and one girl in the family, and they are the apples of the new director's eye. There is a little library in his home with a well chosen stock of books, which shows that even if the new director lacks a college education, he knows the value of good literature. In his conduct of the office Mr. McKenty has instituted the most democratic regime the place has ever known. His door is always open, and in the course of a day he sees more persons than used to gain access to the preceding chief of the department in a week. Yet so skillful is McKenty in his understanding of how to treat men that the idler and trifter DIRECTOR M'KENTY AT H Sneeze on Thursday, something better; Sneeze on Friday, sneeze for sorrow; Saturday, see your true love to-morrow. "What I want," said the discontented summer boarder, "is to enjoy the comfort of home." "If that's the case," answered Farmer Corntossel, "I don't quite see what you left home for in the first place." are dismissed with little loss of time, but all so cleverly that it never occurs to them to be offended. Action, not talk, is the watchword of the department now. Director McKeny has easily fallen into the habit of authority over those who were once his companions, even his superiors. He says it is his purpose to make things hum during the time he holds office. He is going to give Philadelphia a police administration in which there shall be no politics. And Philadelphia believes he knows how. MINE FOUND BY A. BADGER. Prospectors Digging Him Out Discovered a Rich Claim. N. H. George, Santa Fe yardmaster, has taken a layoff of three weeks and gone to Nevada to develop a gold mining claim which he has there, says the Mollens Mall. It is quite a story back of his going. Mr. George grubstaked an old miner who had struck a streak of bad luck. This miner finally found some MAYOR WEAVER And his policeman director. excellent surface indications in the Nevada mountains and staked his claim. The prospects were so good that Mr. George, his brother and his brother-in-law took three coadjunct claims. The old grizzled miner work ed away all winter on the funds押 plied him by Mr. George. His developments were encouraging but did not pan out large quantities of the yellow metal. A short time since another old miner in hard luck came past the first miner's claim carrying his kit of tools with him. Mr. George's friend was naturally lonesome and invited the stranger to take a claim. After looking over the situation this stranger decided to do so. An evening or two later the two miners sat on a ledge of rock talking when a badger came into sight. The miners gave chase and the badger ran into a hole on the stranger's claim. They went to work with their picks and then to挖 the ladder out, and in so doing they made a remarkable discovery. His bed in the bottom hole was made on a big chunk of the very richest of gold ore. The gold in the stone on which he lay was worth $10,000. In this way they discovered a rich vein of gold-bearing quartz which runs through both their mines as well as those belonging to Mr. George, his brother and the brother-in-law. Mr. George's trip to Nevada is for the purpose of fully investigating his new gold mine. IS DESK IN THE CITY HALL. Bullet That Does Not Kill.

Distrust who would have any one class before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1907. On New Year's night in Minneapolis the Afro-Americans of the city held an Emancipation Proclamation Celebration at Labor Temple, at which the principal speaker was Prof. A. E Jenk, professor of sociology of the University of Minnesota, who spoke on "The Laws of Race Development." During his discourse he said: "America's uncounted blessings are within the reach of the Afro-Americans if they but grapp and hold the four Americas ideals of political liberty, industrial opportunity, social and moral purity, and religious egalitarian." He also maintained that race development is governed by three great laws, the first of which is that "different races of men are produced during long periods of separation from other men," and color is the only real difference, since, according to the second law, "when one race of men has been developed with stable, physical, mental, and moral characteristics, the race has an inherent capacity to perpetuate itself indefinitely." "Color, after all, is only skin deep," continued Prof. Jens, "and I would be unworthy of my manhood if I beasted of my color, while you would J. REV. E. W. LAMPTON, D. D. Financial Secretary of the Great A. M. E. Church. be unworthy of your manhood if you hung your head for yours. Character, character, character makes the man." And while he was speaking, Joe Gans, away out in Tonopah, Nev, was giving a practical, ocular demonstration of the absolute, undeniable truth of Prof. Jenks' statements, in his batte with "Kid" Herman, which Gans won in eight rounds, and proved that "a man is a man for a' that and a' that." Immigration Commissioner Watson, of South Carolina, says: Under the heading "Sizes denism," it remarks: "The gentlemen of Nashville who opposed action by the Trade of that city, countenance phase of the Ogden Movement as the 'Conference for Equity' the South," especially because influence in encouraging N dangerous aspirations, were right from the standpoint of interests of their city, of the whole country." To plain people it looks "The South has been blackguarded slandered and abused so long in Europe by those whose interests have prompted them to activity in the task—and I might say they have been permitted to do many questionable things from the standpoint of our laws—that it seemed a hopeless task. In many places to merely mention the South was equivalent to bringing forth talk about the Black Belt, the widely-circulated maps with the Southern States printed in black ink, The Emblem of Death, and heaven knows how many other slanders. Indeed, the thing had gone so far that these slanders had been given official circulation by consular officials of the different countries residing in this country." Unfortunately for the commissioner, there is abundant and official proof that many of the statements as to the treatment of immigrants are not slanders, but well-attested facts. Would it not be more truthful and sensible upon his part to at once tell his folks that unless they put a stop to these outrages, the hope of attracting immigration is an illusion. It is vain to indulge in the illusions of hope. The Manufacturers' Record has a strong article upon "Dollar-chasing," especially on the part of educational enterprises. It says: "Great college after great college has set the pace for the whole educational system in a wild chase after millions for endowment, asking only for the millions, oblivious to the sources of the millions and gagging at no condition, however humiliating, necessary to make the chase a success. It is teaching them to draw a distinction between a college's asking a stranger capitalist for $500,000 and the tramp's plea to a passer-by for a nickel to buy a glass of beer, when essentially there is no difference." THE APPEAL regards it as a self-ovident fact that if the money so lavishly poured out for endowments were expended upon the public schools, it would accomplish vastly more good. This is especially true when applied to so-called colleges and universities whose attendance is nearly all children who would be much better off in the public schools. It is not often that we come across such a difference of opinion as the following, which we clip from the same issue of the Commercial Appeal: "Says Cardinal Gibbons: "The king is a wise as well as humane ruler, and we hear through missionary sources that whenever cases of cruelty have occurred—as such things will occur under every human government—the king has been prompt to redress such abuses and to punish the offenders." "Says Life: "It may be that the devil is more popular, as it is, than he should be, but there is no doubt that he has an opportunity of a lifetime to endear himself to all Christendom by flying away with Leopold, king of the Belgians." It is our private opinion that the worthy Cardinal has unwisely constituted himself "best man" for a very tough old reprobate. The Southern brother is very suspicious of the Northern dona ferentes. For instance, the Manufacturers' Record is opposed to the acceptance by the city of Baltimore of Andrew Carnegie's offer of $600,000 to be used in building branches of the Enoch Pratt Library, as it involves the annual expenditure into eternity of $50,000 from the pockets of the taxpayers of Baltimore Under the heading "Sized up Ogdenism," it remarks: "The gentlemen of Nashville, Teenn, who opposed action by the Board of Trade of that city, countenancing that phase of the Ogden Movement known as the 'Conference for Education in the South,' especially because of its influence in encouraging Negroes in dangerous aspirations, were absolutely right from the standpoint of the best interests of their city, of the South and of the whole country." To plain people it looks as if the Negro had a better right to attend the same school with whites in the South than the Japanese has to attend the same school with whites in California. One right rests on the constitution, of which there is no doubt, and the other on a treaty the application of which is doubtful. The cases are entirely different in one respect. The Negro is helpless and the Japanese are capable of making a good deal of trouble—Chicago Chronicle. The right of the Afro-American to attend the public schools is based upon the fact that he is a full-bedded native, citizen and tax-payer. And, again it is not wise to put too much stress upon the fact that the Afro-American is "helpless," for he is not, he has too much intelligence, manhood and wealth to be in that condition. The Herald remarks: "Mr. P. Sheridan Ball says the 'intelligent white people of South Carolina do not vote for Tillman.' We presume that P. Sheridan is one of those long-distance critics who never saw South Carolina in his life, and therefore knows all about it." And, notwithstanding the Herald's sneer, the gentleman tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The intelligent white people of South Carolina, as of every other Southern state, are a small and impotent minority and are howled down by any demagog who understands the situation and jollies the poor whites. The Marquise de Fortenay says: "Japan's victory has inflicted an irreparable blow upon that native belief in that superiority of the white races, which led Orientalists to defer to them. The prestige of the white man in Asia, and in Moslem Africa, has well righ vanished." Many signs indicate that the course of marauding and plundering the "heathen" by "Christian" nations will, in future, be somewhat more difficult than it has been in the past. Asia and even Africa are waking up. The Washington Herald says: "I do not believe that Gov. Vardaman will get a handful of votes in my county in his race for the United States Senate against Hon. John Sharp Williams," said Mr. E. H. Rattcliffe, a lawyer and Democratic leader, of Natchaz, Miss, at the Ebbitt. kansas Democratic leaders thought abo "Arkansas Democratic leaders thought about Bery and Jeff Davis, and the South Carolina folks thought about Tillman. The trouble about these prognosticators is that they don't see that, in the South, the big bugs have entirely lost their grip upon the poor whites. But they will see it, very soon. The real reason of the California school trouble is that the Japanese are regarded as an inferior race. We would sympathise a little more with the Japs, were it not for the fact that they manifest the same prejudice against the Afro-American. GANS GENEROUS TO MOTHER.

The Next Attraction at the Star Theatre. Cliff W. Grant's production "The London Gaiety Girls" which will be seen on Saturday, described as one of the jolliest, clearest and best up-to-date musical extravaganzas on the road. Never for an instant does it bring the blush, but instead creates laughter that is irreproducible. For three weeks it held Miners' Hall in Washington, Baltimore and Boston's critical ones also fell quickly in line. The attraction appeals to all that is refined. There is never a jett that can be misconstrued. The comedy is natural. The music is catchy, the scenery is gorgeous and the cast, headed by Pat White all that could be desired. The original London Gaiety Girls musical extravaganza company comes to the Star next week. This show is said to be a crackerjack from start to finish. It has musical masterpieces and mastery medals.

Briefly speaking of myself I may say that I am fairly holding my own the fae famed Boston Conservatory of art. I confess that my studies often require the strictest sort of application for complete mastering. In this school one finds representatives of every kind, race and tongue, who taken altogether reflect credit on the school and on themselves. Some of the more advanced students in the school may tor others in the lower grades. I may interest you to know that I have been called upon to instruct less proficient students. It seems a long time since I walked the straits of dear old St. Paul and gazed on the placid waters of Lake Como and at intervals I have seen some familiar face and object. Imagine therefore my surprise when my dear father came in the other evening and clasped me in his arms. For a moment I was back in the old home and faces of familiar friends of whose welfare I sought to know by eager questioning. Such a visit at such a time has brightened for me the incoming new year, and enabled me to bear with contentment the months that must pass before greet again. I may tell you in confidence that even a demure music maid such as you know me to be may find relaxation and pleasure in excogational social frivolities. So be not surprised that I sometimes so to the theatre, and pleasure in the social frivolities to attend me or that at other times I go to social gatherings where the youngest and where music, dance and bright reprisee bring pleasurable sensations to the otherwise druggery of all earnest endeavor. The most interesting of the "Thursday socials" of the student boys who frequently give their young lady friends a surprise in the way lads and dances. These are select affairs which only young women of a credited standing and properly choreoned may attend. I close adding however my best wishes for a happy New Year to you and increased prosperity to THE APPEAL. Myrtle McWilliam Doston, Mass. January 18 1907. CONSIDERATE OF THE COOK. Rural Guest Surprises Hotel Clerk by H. Thoughtlessness. "This story may sound a bit fishy, but it is true nevertheless," said a clerk at the National hotel. "A few days ago a young man came in and registered, and I immediately sized him up as a resident of the rural districts. He was very verdant, and that was demonstrated beyond doubt later when he asked me what time dinner would be ready. I told him the hours for meals, and he left the desk. Shortly after he came back. I saw there was something on his mind and thought I help him out. "Is there anything I can do for you, sir? I am inured." "Well, I dumno, he replied, 'but I was just thinking. I told you I won't be here at dinner time, so you needn't bother about waiting for me. I've got to meet a feller about the time you said was meal time, and I don't know weather I'll be able to get back. I don't want to put folks to any trouble, so you had better tell the cook about it. I guess I can get along without dinner for one day anyhow." "We don't often have guests who are so considerate of the cook," mused the hotel n. Mrs. B.

Punishing a Convict One of the best attractions in the penitentiary during fair week at Columbus, Ohio, was Charles Holland, colored convict, who cut off his finger to get out of work several weeks ago, and was compelled to stand on a box in the blacksmith shop, where hundreds of visitors pass each day, and there display himself. A sign on his back and also in front, read: "I CUT OFF MY FINGER" TO GET OUT OF WORK." Holland stands on the box all day long. He has already spent nearly twenty-five days on the box and has a prospect of standing that much longer. He will be released when his finger gets well. At the commencement of the business at Highgate police court Sir Francis Cory-Wright called attention to the fact that "The Book" upon which witnesses were to be sworn in future had celluloid washable covers. He thought every one would agree that a desirable improvement had been effected. On the cover are the arms of the county of Middlesex. It will be the duty of the usher of the court to keep the cover clean—London Tribune. Cat Wanted to Fight Snake. Adam Abney's wife, on the head of Hardwick's creek, says the Clay City Times, a short time ago was on out the road, pair of twin babbies and a large Wales cat came across a large rattlesmake, which the cat was waning to attack. Mrs. Abney set the babbies down in the road and killed the snake, but all the while had to hold fast to the cat to keep it from the snake. The snake had ten rattles and a button. --- Matters Social, Religious and General Which Have Happened and Are to Happen Among the People of the City. Drink Golden Grain Belt Beer. Mrs. Wm.

Arrangements have been completed here by a company of the City of Mexico to ship 1,000 railroad ties a day to this city, says the New Orleans Picayune for the use of the various alliances which are building in here. The ties will all be of the wood, which is harder than mongaboy and which is not affected by water. Dr. Lorenzo Syper, who is representing the company, said that the wood had been tried in Mexico for ties, and it had been found that the minimum life of a tie of this wood was fifty years.

Throughout Cuba game is abundant. Deer, though not native, have flourished and multiplied greatly. Rabbits are plentiful; also wild boar, so called, the wild pig, the wild dog and the wild cat of the island. Wild fowl, especially ducks and pigeons, abound the former crossing from the southern states during the winter season, while the latter remain on the island the year round. Pheasants, quail, snipe, wild turkeys and wild guinea fowl are also numerous, with several varieties of game birds, such as the perdiz, tojosas, rabiches and the guanacos. The only distinctive native animal is the juta or hunta, ratlike in appearance and black. It grows to a length of sixteen or eighteen inches, not including the tail. While eatable, it is not especially palatable. Cuba has more than 200 species of native birds, including those already mentioned as game birds, many possessing the most beautiful plumage, but those with song are rare. In swampy localities crocodiles and American alligators (calmans) are found, and, although these frequently grow to an enormous size, but little attention is paid to them by the natives. Chameleons, small lizards, tree toads and similar harmless slurials of diminutive size are very common, while occasionally the iguanas and other large varieties of the lizard species are seen. Few varieties of snakes exist in Cuba. One of these, the maja, from ten to fourteen feet in length, is a semi domesticated reptile. I fusha a term may be used, for it is most frequently found about the huts, farmhouses and small villages. its favorite living place being in the palm thatches of the old buildings, while its favorite food is poultry. Another snake, named the jubo, is more vicious in disposition than the maja, although never reaching more than one-third its size. It is not poisonous. The other varieties are still smaller in size, are seldom seen and not venomous. QUEER TASTES IN EATING. Sugar on Fish and Oysters—Ripened Milk and Cheese. "There are some queer tastes seen by waiters. You know the predilection of school girls for cake and pickles. Well, I have seen that beaten often," said a Broadway waiter to the New York Press. "I've got a customer who puts sugar on white potatoes. Sugar on tomatoes and cantaloupe is pretty bad, but sugar on potatoes—ugh. "A lady customer. a corsetmaker, melts a lump of butter in her cup of tea. Could you go that? "A pugillist puts vinegar on all his meats and vegetables—vinegar on everything except his desert. This is not because he wants to reduce his weight; it is because he likes the taste. "Of course I have lots of customers who drink sour milk and eat high game and cheese—customers for whom we ripen milk and cheese and birds fill the aroma of our cellar would cause a turkey buzzard to quail." "I have never seen any one put sugar on oysters, but I have seen several persons sugar their fish." MURDEROUS PERIOD IN RUSSIA Difficult Task of Count Witte's Successor. M. Stolypin, Count Witte's successor as Russian premier, has frankly said in an interview: "The task I have before me is one which can hardly be done by any human hand." His is surely the most unenviable eminence in the world. Count Witte failed not only on account of the inherent difficulty of the task of governing Russia with the bureaucracy still in power behind him, but also because he could not command the loyalty of any party. He had made his career by intrigue, and nobody trusted him. M. Stolypin is a far better, if less astute, man. He is the only member of the old cabinet who made himself heard and respected before the doma. A Family Jar. "What's all that row in your house, Tommy?" "Why, ma's canning fruit," exclaimed Tommy, with an apprehensive glance toward the window from which poured the sound of angry voices, "and pa's a food inspector, you know, and he's trying to tell her how she ought to do her work."—Judge. Girl Patriots in Russia. The faculty with which the Russian girl sacrifices her outward appearance to her inward convictions has always amazed me. When she feels herself slightly exalted on political questions off goes her hair, with less apparent concern or scruple than the farmer shows when he cuts off the tangled mane of some old nag. The Dear Girls. Fred—"Nothing pleases a girl more than the devoted attentions of the man she loves." Tess—"Oh, yes; there is something that pleases her more." Fred—"What is it?" Tess—"The devoted attentions of the man." "What day was I born on, mother?" "Thursday, child." "Wasn't that fortunate! It's your day, 'at home.'" THE DESERT RAGE. It Sometimes Breaks Out on a Man in a Restaurant. There is a strange, dry, choking passion of rage that sweeps over a man at intervals after he has lived in one of these desert towns for a year, and fed in their restaurants. Men who camp out in the hills with their burros, and who cook their own beans, bacon and dried apples are free from its attack. M. IF YOU WISH CLOTHES TO LOOK NEAT. UP TO DATE IN EVERY RESPECT. HAVE.

The attack comes upon the man after the water has taken his order and returned to lay before him a galaxy of oddity colored varieties of flesh and vegetables in their thick, white oval dishes. On a sudden the man feels that he is abused. He is injured; hurt in his tenderest feelings; only a bitter wall will give relief. He rises in his seat, and with his hands rigid and his jaws locked, grinds out through his teeth some two or three sincere, crisp, crackling profanities. Then he gets his hat, pays his bill and goes away. The other occupants of the restaurant pay no attention. "It's the passion of the desert," they say, and continue eating. The man gets over it in the course of half an hour. The attack is a hysteria, born of the heat, the unpleasant look of the food, the files that contest the right of ownership, and a general revolt against everything under the sun. Sometimes it attacks one of those natural orators, who can bless and curse with equal flugency. At least when it hit this man he got on his feet, shut his eyes and settled his head well back on his neck and began: "Great God, smite and destroy this place. Rain down thy wrath and anger upon it. Let its name be a byword among men; let it wither and crumble to dust. Let it be a shame and a reproach forever. And, Lord, forget not the cook. Carve him with thy lightnings and stuff his fat carcass with thy thunderbots—"1 We felt he was just getting good, but the landlady seemed to think he was becoming personal, so he paid his bill and left. It passes away. GIVING THE ROYAL ASSENT. Lord Thurlow Rather Unceremonious According to George III. At the close of the late parliamentary session five peers, atcing under letters patent, went through the ancient and picturesque ceremony of giving the royal assent to those bills which have completed their stages. According to the constitution the approval of the monarch is essential before a bill can become law, but it is nearly 200 years since an occupant of the British throne was so greatly daring as to disapprove of a parliamentary measure. George III. was once minded that way. He had gone down to the country when Lord Eldon followed him and proceeded to explain the character of certain bills for which the royal assent was desired. This did not suit King George. "Bring down the bills for me to read," he exclaimed, "or do as Thurlow did." "And what was that, your majesty?" asked Lord Eldon. "Well, Thurlow read several bills once and then said, 'Its all nonsense to make you understand them and you had better consent to them at once.'" TOO LIVELY. No Need of Fresh Air in House on Sunday. He was a solemn Scotchman, with an equally solemn and somewhat down-trodden wife. The fact that they were receiving an excellent price for their "second pair front" from an American lodger did not blind them to her failings. "Dear me, Mr. Macleod," said the lodger one Sunday afternoon, when an errand took her to the parlor, where the family sat, "I should think you and your wife would be stifed sitting indoors this hot day with the windows shut. if you'd just open one and get some fresh air. I'm sure it would do Mrs. Macleod good; she looks pale." Mr. Macleod looked at her with his usual stern and unbending gaze. "We can have fresh air on day," he said, calmly. "We've no need to hae it rushing about the house on the Sawbath." "Does your husband smoke as much as formerly?" asked the friend of the family. "Oh, no," replied the hostess, "He doesn't smoke at all now." "That 'squeaker,' rejoined the man. 'I sent him a box of cigars only last week." "Yes,' 'sue replied. 'That's what broke him of the habit.' "Miss Nobbs had an awful blow this morning." "What was it?" "She went down the avenue to show, off her new fall hat and three horses shied at her." _____ Familiar Article. "Dey ain't much preachin' about hell fire dese days." "No: It's so elst, ter home now folls is well spoilt, wid it!" "Say, how do you do the 'sparking' in your new auto?" "Get a pretty girl to go along with me." Bridge Designer's Odd Wish. Henley bridge, the condition of which, owing to wear and tear, is causing some anxiety to the corporation, was designed about 1786 by Thomas Hayward, who expressed the wish that he might die ere the work was commenced, and that his body might be interred under the center pier. He died before the bridge was completed, but was buried in the church yard close by. Shrewd. "Yes," says the man from Salt Lake City. "I have seven wives." CITY, I have seven wives. "And," we ask, smiling at the opportunity to spring the customary witticism, "how do you manage to pay your millinery bills?" "I married milliners," he tells us, coming his patriarchal beard through his fingers. When the women refer to the life of a married woman as being "interesting, it means that the woman is unhappy married.
