CATCHER BUCKLEY AUE1YES.

Sines Is Expected to Pweach the City To-Day, and Others Will Come Soon. From now on the players of the Indianapolis tlnb will bo coming io almost daily until tha entire seventeen are here. R. O. Buckley, the new Catcher, was the first of the procession to reach the city, having arrived last night from Galioo, O. His home is at Pittsburg, but he left hia wife with relative at Gallon nntil he could select a residence bere. Buckley is a stalwart fellow, with a round, jolly face. He looks olid eoongh physically to stand a great deal of batterine at the hands of a pitcher, and. juaemsr from his jovial face be bas a stock of food nature which is fairly inexhaustible. He is in pood condition, with the exception, perfaaDS, of a little surperflnons flesh. He will probably be the fleshiest catcher in tha League, bur, if reports are true, he is qnite a fast runner And he himself says that his "heft occasions him no inconvenience in his backstop work but Is rather desirable, if anything. There will be little difference io the weieht of Buckley and Carroll, but the former will prove the more Kiive of the two. Few men bave entered the ia$ue with so promising a reputation as Buckley, and it is to be hoped he will fulfill all expectations. His professional experience has been- with tba Syracuse and Bingham ten clubs, although be played with a semi-professional team at Younestown, O. Nearly every club in the country was after bim last year, and the local elub was everywhere congratulated on its success when Disengagement was announced. The Connty Commissioners have not heeded the remon (trance aeainst the saloon leeated near the ball park, and the appearances are tnat this objectionable feature will be near at hand , for another year. Tbere is a Suspicion that the remonstrance was allowed to drop, as some of those opposed to it are leading also in the eomplaint aeainst the ball park. By pointing to the saloon and attributing it to the presence of the epark in the neiehborhood thev probablr ex-' pect to spread the dissatisfaction with the Park. No one was more disappointed that the saloon was allowed to remain than President Brash and others of tha board of directors. Said one of them yesterday: "I never could see what the sa'oon was there for. I saw no one patronize it last summer unless it was some of the cab-drivers who Were loafing around there." The same director Eeferred to the fact that a local panr yesterday, n eiving an account vt . the meeting fit the County Commissioners, had picked rut tha "hall-perk saloon" item from among all Ihe things transacted by the Commissioners and attracted especial attention to it in the head line. "It seems to be our luck," said he, "to bave every disagreeable thing about the club raked up and made public and things that have so connection with the elub are laii at its door. I verilv believe that if a murder should happen Mtywbere in the vicinity of the ball park it would immeiiateiy be termed "the base-ball taurder, " and somebody would blame base-ball for it. Last year an unfortunate affair among the players, one in which the participants deserved to be condemned, and yet of a kind whicb rmld nevai have been noticed amongany other "elats of ptopln. was taken up and flaunted before the jeopte, as if there was danger someftoay mient jot learn or it; and it was greatly exaggerated, in addition. It did the club more harm than anything which occurred during the ear. I Base-Hall Notes.

Part of it gallery, reducing it to kindling-wood. President sern, of the Cincinnati club, will, In a few days, or at the opening of the chain pionship season, address a personal letter to Maiaear Sehnvlz. instructing him to notify ail members of the Cincinnati club that should they win toe ehampionsmp ine $1,000 purse will be divided nmooR the team. Sporting Life prints a quotation from "many exchanges' 10 the effect tnat there is not a lefthanded batte? lo the Cincinnati club this sea son, and then adds, How about Carpenter?" iiverybody wrote; Carpnter bats right handed, but Elmer Smith bats with his heart toward the "umpire, and Tony MulUne generally does tbe Same, altr.ough he can hat both ways. Hines left Washington yesterday, and will he bere to day. Esterbrook was expected last niifht, and will probablv arrive to-day. Until the season opens the players will be boarded at the fclub's expense at Hotel Brunswick. It i3 said that the Y. M. C A. management bas generously offered the gymnasium to Manager iSpence - lor an hour or so of practice daily until the leather permits work at the park, or until the elub leaves for St. Louis next Tuesday. "Jimmy Qalvin has made un his mind to settle permanently in Pittsburg. On Sunday evening lie will go to St. Louis for the purpose of indue'leg his aged mother to return to that city and live with him. ''I am the only one mother has left," said Galvin. "and I want her to come and live with me. She thinks 'she can't leave St Louisas lone as she has propertv there, but this trip I am going to try and persuade her to sell Flint, who has been Clargson's regular catcher for so many years, gave up all hope of seeing the Cambridge wonder in the Chicago team gain. "I ara sure that he will not play with us," said Silver, with a voice somewhat akin to Badness. "I had thought all along that he would come around when it was time to begin practice, but I see I was mistaken. Clarkson will not play with us this year. That is well settled in my mind." Flint then ventured the prediction that John would not be contented in the Boston nine. Pritcbard. the St. Louis correspondent of Snorting Life has this to say in bis last letter: 'The first outside club to play here this season rill be tbe Hoosier aggregation, and the boys all 'being well known in St. Louis, they wiil.no doubt draw large crowds. It will remind us of old times to see Jack Glasscock, Jerrv Denny, HeTiry Boyle, George Myers, John Healey, WcGeacby and the other old-timers make their appearance before a St. Louis crowd. They opeo bere on Tuesday, March 27. and play also on the 23(h and 29th. The coming of the old Maroons has caused considerable talk 'In bae ball circles, and the friends thatcbeered them when they were located in our midst will be at Sporrsman'a Park to give the Black Diamonds, as they were once called, a sena-off. I (earned yesterday late that a friend of tha Slaroona offered to bet $1,000 even that the Jloosiers would win two out of three games to be played, but that the bet went begging." The Chicago Tribune refers to Healey's work t Hot Springs, Saturday, m this way: "The picked team bad Conway in the box tor four innings, after which he and Heaiy changed places. Conway's delivery was batted for a home-run, three doubles ard two singles. He appeared to be in good condition, and had plenty of speed. Ho retired Ave of the Chicagos on strikes. Healy's work was of a phenomenal character. He appeared to have more speed and better command of the ball than ever before, and the whlte-hosed Slucgers could do nothing with his delivery. In the tifth inning he struck out Sullivan and Farreil, gave Pfefft-r a base on ball3, and struck out Burns. Three more men failed to touch the ball in the next two ionm?s. Tne only man who cored a hit off the -Egyptian was Pettit, who made a 'seratcn' by bunting the ball, which took a bound over Hogan's head. Healy ia bigger sod stronger than he was a year aeo, being bout fifteen pounds t heavier, and if bis arm holds out tha League batsmen will have to look at for him." WHY MCNS0N WITHDREW. Significance of the Move hy the Leading Democratic Candidate for Stata Auditor. The local Demoerats who presume to know what the party in the State needs and what affects its welfara were at a loss to account for Charles Munsoo's withdrawal from the canvass for nomination as Auditor of State.. Hanson, it seems, did not consult them, and therefore one and all could tell no .more as to what promi ted hira to retire tnan what he himself stated, "ilia partner is sick. said Lewis Jordan, last night. "Of course, he is sick and Charley Munson must attend to tbe business," O. Johnson remarked, while C. Cooper remained silent It was nggeated, though, by one conversant with Matson's schemes thut the withdrawal is the result f the (ireencatle Colonel's visit to Fort Wayne last week. Whiia there Matson was under the fuardiansbip of Jlimson'i friends, who oppose lyers because he was too near to Allen county. At the same time thre were indications that IL C. Bel), of Fort Warns, would come out for Governor, if it were not for Munson's candidacy. Tbre is nothing of that kind in the wy of Mr. Jjell now, aad it is provable that as he and Capt Myers are considered as to locality being too near each nhr to give the latter even a majority of delegates from the eastern part of theSiate, its Fort Wayne, gentleman is act

ing for Matson, as Congressman Shively Is supposed to be in checking the vote that is inclined to Bvnnm. What Matsoa was promised in this deal has- not transpired, but it is possible Matson's influence in his behalf will be exsrtei at Washington. Bell will doubtless receire the nomination for Congress in the Twelfth district as bis reward In promoting the scheme to destroy Myers's chances in Allen and adjoining counties. Gerard Reiter. cf Knox, is now a candidate for Auditor of State. He would have been in the race against Munson bad not the possibility of Judge Niblaek's nomination for : Governor prevented bim. But as tbe Judge is not considered io the canvass even ns a possibility, by the followers of Myers and Matson, Reiter wants the nomination for which he made an effort ia 1836. Other candidates for Auditor are E?i P. Brown, of Whitley, and Hugh Dougherty, of Wells.

AN ATHLETIC CLUB ORGANIZED. None bat Amateurs Who Are Members of the I. M. C A. Will Be Admitted. An athletic association was formed, last evening, among the members of the Young Men's Christian Association. A meeting for the purpose was held at 8 o'clock, and was attended by about fifty young men. Mr. George Hay presided, and Dr. Fremont Swain acted as secretary. A motion was first unanimously passed favoring an athletic organization, and then the meeting went into consideration of the constitution, which had already been prepared by Dr. Swam and was read by him. It provided that the name of the organization be tbe Athletic Club of the Indianapolis .Young Men' Christian Association, and that any member of the Y. M. C. A., who was not a professional, according to the definition adopted by the Amateur Atbietie Union ot the United States, could become a member of the club upon the pavmnt of an annual fee of $2; also, that the affairs of the club should be under the control of a board of managers, composed of tbe president, vice-president," secretary and treasurer of tbe club, and the directors of the gymnasium, subject in everything, also, to tbe approval of the gymnasium committee. This constitution was adopted after some discussion on the clause relative to eligibility of applicants for membership. Dr. Swain explained that it would be very desirable for t&e club to besoms a member of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, but that it could not do so unless it limited its membership to non-professionals, according to tbe Amateur Athletic Union definition of a professional, which is as follows: Any one who has not entered In an open competition; or for either a stake or ad amission money or entrance fee: or under a fictitious name; or has not competed with or ae-ainst a professional for any prize, or where admission fee is charged; or has not instructed, pursued or assisted in the pursait of athletie exercises as a means of livelihood, or for gain or anv emolument: or whose membership of any athletic club of any kind was not brought about or does not continue, because of any mutual understanding, express or imnlied. whereby his becoming or continuing a member of such club would be of pecuniary benefit to him what ever, direct or indirect. It was finally decided to adopt the constitution as read, and then efficera were elected for the ensuing year, with the following result: President Merrill Moore3. Vice-president Kev. M. L. Haines. Secretary Russell Eckman. Treasurer F. II. Rossitor. Upon taking a poll for members, fifty-two names were obtained, and the organization can. therefore, be considered as already under good naaway. iz is tne intention to obtain grounds for the practice of athletic sports, and it is not unlikely that an effort will be made to secure use of tbe vacant square north of the Blind Asylum. THE LATE EEV. f)R, nOLLIDAY. Completion of the Arrangements for His Funeral His Last Letter. Funeral of Ker. Dr. Holliday. The arrangements for the funeral of the late Rev. F. C. Holliday, which takes place at Rob erts Park Church this afternoon, at 2 o'clock, were concluded yesterday. The sermon will be preached by R-v. J. H. Bayliss, editor of the Western Christian Advocate. Addresses with reference to the phases of the deceased's life and character -will be made by Rev. Charles Tinsley. pastor of the Connersville district, and Dr. J. P. D. John,, professor of mathematics in DePanw University. The services will be under the direction of Dr. Keen, oastor of Roberts Park Church, and Revs. Day. Gilbert and Lynch will also particinat" in the exercises. A delegation from DePauw University will attend, and seats will be provided for all the ministers who may be present. Tbe doors of the church wH be open at 1 . o'clock. The pall-bearers selected are Rev. John S. Tevis, F etcher-place Church; Rev. Amos Kanway, Seventh-street Church; Rev. Charles W. Lee, Edwin Rav Church; Rev. George L. Curties and Rev. M. B. Hvde. The interment will be at Crown Hill Cemetery. The Western Christian Advocate this week contains the last letter written by Dr. Holliday. It was addressed to Rev. J. H. Bayliss, D. D.," and reads as follows: "The discussion in our church papers of the status of Bishop Taylor gives rise to several questions of more or less interest, among which are the following: Is tbe Liberia Annual Conference an integral part of the Methodist Episcopal Church? If so, is it the right of our general superintendents to preside in its annual sessions, fix the appointments of tha preachers, and to take the general supervision of the worn as in other departments of the work? If in the approaching session of the Liberia Conference one of our general superintendents should be present, which would have precedence, the bishop who was elected and ordained for the whole church or one whose authority was limited to Africa alone? Was the election of a missionary bishop for Africa intended to supersede or suspend the exercise of episcopal authority by our general superintendents in Africa? Or was it intended to be supplemental by furnlshtne additional episcopal service at a point where it was thought additional supervisory work was needed? If Bishop .Taylor is a missionary bishop, onght he not to be supported from the same source that other missionary laborers are, whether they are elders, deacons, school teachers or well-diggers? If not, why not? WHAT ELECTRIC LIGHT WILL COST. Estimates on the Expanse of the Proposed Nstt System of Lighting the City. The electric-light for frtreets is receiving considerable attention in view of the action of the Council ordering a termination of the contract May 1 with the Indianapolis Gas-light and Coke Company. It is the opinion of tnanv, and of some whose interests are connected with artificial gas, that an electric-light system will be the result of the gas agitation. Companies that are ready to create plants for this purpose hesitate only on tbe short limit of contract a majority of the Council is inclined to grant. It is said tnat if the contract for electric light can be bad for three years at least two companies will eagerly bid for it. "One year, however," remarked c gentleman connected with a company of this Kind, "is too short. No plant can be put in operation for less than $75,000, and when in a year it is to get perhaps not more than $35,000. there is not enough revenue assured to make the investment a wise one. Yet it is possible a company may be found to accept a short contract on the risk of the Council and the Board of Alderman dealing kindly with it wnen tne contract termmateA Councilman Cummings said last night "I un derstand there is a schema to have tha central part of this city lighted with electricity while the districts outside of it will be given gas. I asked Mr. Fletcher if he would consent to make a contract under such conditions. He replied that he would not Tbe talk so far has not developed anv welldefined purpose, but there is enoue-h to show that the electric lieht idea will be in such shape within a day or two as to give the city engineer something upon which to base a report to tbe Council at an early day. Among the investments snoken of in this way is a plant for tbe purpose of lighting tha city with incandescent lights it is saia capitalists are rsauy to support such an enterprise. It is represented that by using natural gas in generating electricity a light can be furnished the city at one-r aif the cost of artificial gas. Another company of local moneyed men is mentioned as a possibility.

' Miss Marion Abbott is drawing larrre audi-; ences to see '.'Only a Farmer's Daughtar," at the Museum, and it will run all week.

Mrs.' James Brown Potter will display her beauty and histrionic talents as Juliet, in "Romeo and Juliet." at English's to-night, and tbt wii be her on y appe.irnce in Indianapolis this season. Tne advance safe of seats indicates that public curiosity is much excited over her. Certainly no other actress bas been so much talked and written about as she, and the acting of no other has excited such diversified criticism. Juliet is spoken of as her best part, and the on;y thine that the critics do aerree about concerning her is that she is a lady of great personal attractiveness. Mr. Kyrle Bellew, a leading man who is almost as famous as she, will be the Romeo, and the cast otherwise is an eminently good one. Various theater parties bave engaged seats for tbe perform auce to-night.

EXPENSES OP THE POLICE FORCE. Figures that Prove the Untrnthfnlnessof Another Statement by the SentineL The request of the commissioners that the charges of the Sentinel against the police force be made specific so that they could be investigated has not been complied with. The members of the board say that if there are any abuses . that should be corrected they desire to know what they are, and for that xeason the Democrats who are making the charges have been asked to specify even a single one. The request was made Monday, and as yet it has not been complied with. EmmiS3aries of the Democrats have been busy attempting to get Democratic members of the force to furnish some information on which they can base their charges, but they have met with no success. The Sentinel yesterday misrepresented the cost of the force since its organization. It puts the cost as follows: 1885, $52,961.93; 1S8G. $53,800. and for 1887. $60,240. 9L With these figures it is shown that there was an increased outlay of $6,440.91 duriegthe lastyear, or since the Republican board took charge of the force. The records shows that during 1884 the pay-roll was $55,10L73: all oth expenses $3,316.52, making a total of $58,418.27. The amount paid back to the city that year by the secretary of the board, derived from rewards received, and other sources, amounted to $1,096.83, leaviog the exneo.e of tbe force for the year $57,321.44. In 1885 the pay-roll was, $53,961.93; all other expenses. $3,031.15; total, $36,943.63. Tne amount paid back to the city thatyear was$l,073.29, makingtha net expenses $55,944.79. The pay-roll for 1886 was $53,449.79; all other expenses. $2,744.76; total, $56,242.15; amount paid back to city. $2,000, making the total expenses for the year $54.242. 15. , The payroll for last yar was $56,857.79, and all other expenses, $2,965.49, making a total of $59,823.23. The amount paid back into the treasury by Secretary Snyder was $2,239.60, leaving the total cost of the force for the year $57,583.63. Instead of the number of patrolmen remaining the same, as stated by the Sentinel, it bas been iu creased seven. The records also show that the extra expense for last year was made by the Democratic board. Just before it went out three high-priced horses were purchased, the patrol wagon remodeled, and other expenses incured that were not paid nntil the Republican board took charge. The outlay of money was certainly wise, bat it is unjust to include it in tha amount spent under the present management. With a very slight increase in the total cost Superintendent Travis has completely reorganized the force. A telephone system has been put in; the city redistricted and other improvements made that have greatly increased the efSoiency of the force. HE ENCQUEAGED'BERXHABIER. Candidate Gold's Enthusiastic Approval of the Tally-Sheet Frands Political Gossip. Samuel N. Gold, the Democratic candidate for township trustee, as a member of the canvassing board which passed upon the forged ally-sheets, did not confine his interest in the proceedings tosigning the canvass sheet that contained tbe tallies the conspirators made. Gold was no of tbe members who insisted on the - mutilated tally -sheets being accepted. He voted every time ha had a chance against sending for tha duplicate sheet which would have proved the forgeries and in his entbus iasm he eneouraged Bernbamer to hold fast to the rulings that sent bim to the penitentiary. I stood by the side of Gold," said a citizen yester day "wnen some of tha forged tally-sheets were before the board.' Bernbamer was serting bis sutho rity with all tha crazy importance his eeotism prompted, and Gold cried out to Mm 'Give it to them. They gave it to oa. N ow let

them take their own medicina" Long befora the convention nominated him for trustee Gold was understood to be distinctively the choice of Coy. In tha convention he had tha support of tbe gan?, and although its members are apparently doing little to advance bis canvass a great deal is being done quietly in bis behalf, while Gold personally is trvin? to trick the voters into

j accepting him as a candidate free from any obi jectionable political relations, I The cans is trvine to brins all its nefarious methods into play, but the one who knew so well bow to manage the machine can act only through agents who have not hia skill in directing the bummer vote. It will be at the polls, however, in an attempt to defeat Captain Many, who has made such an acceptable trustee as to command the indorsement of the county commissioners. One of them, Commissioner Sabm, in examining, yesterday, the Captain's last report of the transactions in his office, said, "This is an excellent report" Sahm is an expert and knows what it take3 to constitute a clear, methodical and accurate setting forth of expenditures and disbursements. He will, though, promote the interests of Gold and vote for him, as: will all the election inspectors who were of th- notorious canvsing board of 1S86 and are continued in service by the vote of Commissioner Sahm. . It is still said by the Commissioners that they intend to revise the list of inspectors when the resignations come in. They were asked again, yesterday, for a list of those who had resigned, but they propose to keep the list under lock and key. "We will, no doubt, make changes," said one of them, "uctil the night before the election. When the list is complete it will be time enoueh to publish it" A few minutes before the Commissioner made this remark Wm. A. Anderson, inspector of the second precinct. Franklin township, qualified and procure4,his tally-shets and poli-books from the county auditor. Mr. Anderson, like Mr. Gold, was a member of the canvassing board of 1S86. and, again like him", without .protest signed the sheet that bore the false footings for Albert Ayres and F. A. Morrison. Appealing to the Sinners. The series of revival meetings to be conducted in . this city by Rev. B. Fay M ills, the noted evangelist, will begin to-morrow evening, and the last union service preparatory for the event will be held this evening at " Meridian-street M. E. Church. Rev. Dr. Haines, pastor of the First Presbyterian - Church, will lead. Tha union meeting last evening was held at the Second Presbyterian Church. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the attendance was only faiy. Rev. R. E. Neighbors, pastor of the North Baptist Church, conducted the services and made an interesting address. There were remarks also by other clergymen and laymen. The indications point to a greater interest in the approaching meetings than has ever been manifested in a series of revival services in this city, and the probability is that the attendance from the start will be very largo. Sparring Match Between Local Pugilists. Between three hundred and four hundred people witnessed a sparring match at Virginiaavenue Rink last night between George Gaylor and Jack Hanlon, and several other boxers of local notoriety. It was reported that a fight to a finish had been arranged for the evening, but acting under the instructions of Superintendent Travis, Captain Colbert was present, and prevented the men from doing' more than spar with heavy gloves. Gaylor's friends procured bim bail last evening in order that he could take part iu the exhibition. Died from a Surgical Operation. George Webster, superintendent of the waterworks, died, yesterday morning, from the effects of a surgical operation performed on him several days ago, in removing a tumor from his side. He had been a sufferer from the tumor for several years, and although told that its removal would vry likely result in death be preferred that the operation should be performed. He was fifty-one years of age, and leaves a wife and family. Tried to Kill Himself. John Walker, of Pittsburg, a caulker employed by the Broad Ripple Natural-gas Company, attempted to commit suicide, last night, at No. 315 East Washington street, by swallowing morphine. He bas been drinking for nearly a week, and yesterday morning was turned out by his landlord for non-paymnt of rent. By petlpfly calling a physician his life was saved. GARIBALDI AND ANITA. The Great Itua.-h Soldier's Tribute to His Brazilian Wife. Autobiography of Garibaldi. I had need ot some human being to love me. Without such a one near me existence was becoming unsupoortable. Although not old, I knew men well enough to know how difficult it is to find a real friend. But a woman. Yes, a woman; for I had always considered them the most perfect of beings, and, whatever men may say, it is indefinitely easier to find a really loving heart among them. I was walking on the quarter deck of the Itaparica, wrapped in my sad thoughts, and, having reasoned the matter in all ways, finally concluded to seek a wife for myself who would draw me out of this depressing and unsunportable state of things. My glance fell by chance upon the houses of the Barra, a little hill thus called at the entrance of the Laguna, (of St Catherine, in Brazil), on which ara some simple but picturesque dwellings. With the aid of my glass, which I habitually held in my hand when on thequarter deck, I saw a young girL I ordered the men to row me ashore in than direction, and disembarked and made for tha house which contained the object of my voyage, but could not find it, when I encountered a person on the place whom I had known on my first arrival. He invited me to take coffee at his house. We entered, and the' first person on whom my eaze fell was the one who bad caused my coming on shore. It was Anita! ' the mother of my children; the companion of my life and good and evil fortune; the woman whose courage I have so often desired. We both remained in an ecstatic silence, gazing at each other, like two persons who do not meet for the first time and who seek in each other's lineaments something which sh.il! revive remembrance.

Carl Ullmano, of Leipzig, Saxony, who has been in the city for several days, remarked, this morning, to a reporter, at the Southern Hotel: "I have just returned from a visit to British America, where I have been in the interest of the fur-dealing firm with which I am connected. It is a fact little known in this country that, next to London, Leipzig is tbe greatest fur-dealing center in the worla outside of China. We keep a close watch upon all the fur-producing countries, but in spite of our vigilanae find it yearly harder to obtain the required supplies. The shipments of the Hudson Bay Company, wnieh for many years has controlled neany the whole of the American fur crop, have been, during the last ten years, far lighter than ever before, and their stock is now taken exclusively by London. The object of my visit was to sea what could be done in the comparatively fresh fields of tha western interior of the British possessions, access to which is afforded by the Canadian Pacific I spent several months in this country, and consider the outlook most promising. One. section of tbe Northwest, that of tbe lowerSaskatchewan, i3 to-day the best game country in Amerioa. and one of the bes t in the world. The beaver, which has nearly disappeared from the Hudson Bay region, and entirely from tbe western part of the United States, is still found in large numbers ia the streams emptying into tbe Saskatchewan. Mink, lynx and fox abound, deer and caribou are plenty, while more black and silver fox are met with than anywhere else in tha world. These latter, however, are very rare everywhere, and have not been completely exterminated in any ouarter where they ever were found, and form a small, although valuable, part of the fur trade. What to-day constitutes tbe value of the western British-American i nr trade is thek medium-priced furs, such as Deaver and fox. " These have been killed off in many quarters where" they formerly abounded, and there is now a great demand for them. The buffalo have gone forever, and this most profitable branch of our trade has been closed. Few know the reason why thee animals were so ruthlessly slaughtered. The demand for their robes would never have occasioned their complete disappearancd, as tha market wouid have been glutted long before the supply had been exhausted. But the buffalo leaiht-r was found to make t y far the best material for belting for machinery, and it was this that led to the slaughter of the great herds. I have investigated the subject carefully, and have come to the conclusion that not one skin in five was saved; the hunters were very careless about rougo-cnrine them, and h'mdreua or thousands war spoi et erery month bv shrinkage and rotting, To-dar very few rotes cau be bought, aal within a few years the

We believe Hood's Sarsapariila is the very best medicine to take to keen the blood pure and to expel the germs of scrofula, salt rheum and other poisons which cause so mucn suffering, and sooner or later undermine tbe general health. By its peculiar curative power, Hood's Sarsapariila strengthens the system while it eradicates disease. 'I had erysipelas in the worst form, being nearly covered with blisters. My husband heard of Hood's Sarsapariila, and insisted on my .taking it, though Z had little faith. I had taken but a few doses when I began to feel better, and in a week I was sura it was doing me good, I continued to take it ' according to directions, and when the first bottle was gone I was entirely well. I have not been troubled by erysipelas since. " Mas. L. Bacon, Brimfield, Mass. N. B. Be sure to get only

"The fur-producing countries of tha world are very few in number."' said Mr. Ullmann, "and they are rapidly . becoming exhausted. Forty years ago America was the great fur-producer, with the Russian possessions second. To-day Siberia sends out more fnrs than any other region, and America, with the exception of the fur seal, has greatly decreased. A few fancy skins come from Asia and Africa, but nearly the whole product is from high latitudes. Many arctic countries are nearly destitute of fur-bearing animals Greenland, for instance while scarcely any are found on the northern islands. The antarctic regions send none at all, the ice-fields around the south pole being too barren to support life of any kind. Thus the field is confined to North America and Asia, with a very small supply from Norway and Sweden, and some from European Russia. The American field is most "seriously denuded, although I expect northwestern British Columbia and especially the interior of Alaska will in future immensely increase their output. In the Asiatic deserts furbearing animals are becoming rarer every year, and the time is not far distant when furs of all kinds will become a luxury attainable only by the very rich. .In the northern part of the Chinese dominions and among the high mountains of Thibet thousands of bales of fine furs are shipped every year, but these are taken exclusively by the Chinese, and do not constitute a factor in the European market. China is by all means tbe best place to dispose of very fine furs and threefourths of the most expensive are bought by the mandarins of that country, some of whom possess fortunes far exceeding in amount anything known in the Western world. Russia probably comes next, and the remainder of ths high-grade furs are sold all over the world. I look for a great increase in tba output of Alaska, the interior of which is almost totally unexplored, but under the most favorable conditions the supply will grow smaller and smaller every year, and it will not be long before ths fur trade will be a thing of the past."
