time musiclanly ability so welcomed by r audience upon her first appearance in Uils festival. The spinning chorus followed, sung by Miss Juch. Misa Stein and a ladles' chorus. In Imagination there sat the German fraulier.3 at their daily ta.k, overlooked, by Dame Mary. Only the beautiful Senta is Idle, wrapped in contemplation of the Image of the mythical Hying Dutchman. Tnen comes her outburst, her declaration that she is the one destined to redeem his fate, overheard by her lover who begs for constancy. Why doe9 not Miss Juch remain faithful to German opera? It is the thine she does best on eartn. Her singing brought to mind her fine conception of Senta and her tragedy in the days of the Juch Opera Company. There comes a breadth in her voice and purity of production under Warner Inspiration sometimes lacking under less impetus. Miss Juch and Mr. lleinrich saner the duet "Like to a Vision" from the Flying Dutchman .superblythe sad tale of love and possible modifying of his fate through Senta's purifying affection. Mr. lleinrich sang as only Mr. Helnrirh can sins and was responded to by Miss Juch with an ardor equally intense, only possible to a German. By the completion of this duet the auditors were alive to the fact that they were experiencing as a finale the most uniformly brilliant evening of the festival season. Following the immortal Tannhauser overture came Mr. lleinrich with the equally Immortal baritone aria from the same opera, Mr. lleinrich in his picturesque way brought clearly to the mind the noble lover who could shield the object of his affections after she had avowed her love for the erring knight. Tannhauser. At the contest of the singers after the fascinating stranger had extolled in song the claims of Venus and pleasure to the horror of hla rivals the faithful friend accompanied by hia own harp, sadly, alone in the twilight, sings to the evening star, beseeching lta guidance for the woman whom he trurta and adorea. In the melancholy recitative Mr. Helnrlch made his audience feel his sadly contemplative mood and longing for the true and beautiful. Only Richard Wagner, the king: on the vocal Olympus, could ever have conceived that recitative, and but few men. could follow out his conception as does Mr. lleinrich. The cries of bravo continued crescendoafter each number until the evening ended in a burst of glory. The chorus entered Into the spirit of "Hall. Bright Abode" until the raftera rang with the volume of tone. After the Intermission came the Lohen grin overture, then the swan motif heralded Mr. Davles as Lohengrin, first In his short recitative responded to by the chorus at its best, followed by the Lohengrin narrative sung brilliantly with that vibratory resonance in the voice which carries- ad thrills. The only thing lacking in Mr. Davies's Wagner singing comes from the fact of hla nationality. Wagner wrote for the German voice, stimulated by a German soul. But Mr. Davies's musical instinct Is unerring. All that he doea is delightful. Mr. Babcock, an old friend to American audiences, assisted In his best form in the prayer and finale, along with Miss Juch. Misa Stein, Mr. Davies and Mr. Heinrtch. That five slngere unknown to each other's mannerisms could create an ensemble effect after a rehearsal or two fuch as they produced Is truly remarkable. Of course, they are each one at home individually and collectively with the music, which counts for a great deal. The finale was magnificent. Indeed one's vocabulary fails when trying to express the amount of pleasure derived from the evening aa well aa musical benefit. CHOIIUSVS GUAM) WORK.

Ample Opportunity Afforded on the AVnjrnerlnn Mailt. There was a decided change in the appearance of the audience last night from what it haa been. The storm came up Just In time to make people think of gowns that rain would not spoil. There were not so many light gowns out, although many did wear evening dress, bo that It was not a dull-looking audience by any means. There were not so many out-of-town, people present, either. The matinee and evening" performance of Wednesday seemed to be the popular time. The vote for the most" popular programme, Wednesday or Thursday evening, would probably be a draw. Hundreds of those present last evening felt the Inspiration of the great musicians and enJoyed the concert more than at any other time. The chorus work in St. Paul was great, but If it were possible the chorus of Wagner surpassed it. In the spinning chorus there were places where the orchestra would play a measure, the altoa would take the next, the sopranos the next and the tenors and basses would follow in such rapid succession, one after the other, that it was not possible to look from one set to the next. That such a difficult part was accomplished without the shadow of a break was worth the whele season's training. There were dozens of difficulties that were presented with X3 much precision and seeming" ease. What souid be more inspiring than the march and chorus from Tannhauser? It was electrical in lta effect. It fulfilled one's sense of completeness. The whole programme was full of Just such fine work. To express what the Wagner programme was would sound fulsome. No words of description would give even an idea of It. When an audience In Indianapolis applauds, shouts, throws up hats and waves handkerchiefs it has been tremendously pleased, and that Is what It did last night. There has net been a programme which wa so evenly divided between principals, chorus and orchestra. Separately or ensemble, nothing marred It, and it is not too extravagant to say that such an evening of music has never been given in this State, and It is doubtful if any of the other States could have any better. MOSTLY IXSTRCMEXTAL. r riedheim and JInrtenu Again Meet nn Ovation. The Thursday matinee was an instrumental feast, so to speak. Mr. Frledheim demonstrated again that he is a mighty player of the piano. He J3 acknowledged throughout the musical world as the best Interpreter of Liszt. Both the A major concerto and the No. 2 rhapsody which he played showed plainly the marvelous orchestral effects of his piano manipulations. 1113 octaves and chords cannot be surpassed. From a forte he will decrescendo Into a melting tone as poetical as anything Paderewskl can do. It was unkind to be so enthusiastic over him on such an afternoon, for his concerto was worth the price of admittance alone, and the heat waa unbearable. However, that is the sort of unklndness dear to the artl3t. Then Marteau charmed another audience. He started out with the Salnt-Saens rondo caprlccloao In a lighter mood than is customary among violinists, but he compels conversion to his musical views by mere force of genius and originality. He could not have been more kind than In his selection of the Schubert serenade for one of his selected numbers at the close of the programme. This left the sweetest morsel rossible in the memory of the youthful Ienrl, whose face is almost too full of naivete to correspond with the strength and rraturity of his musical boing. Of course, he had to come buck and respond to the plaudits. Good fortune has blessed him also with a ready tact, which wan made apparent by his quick exchange of instruments with the orchestral first violinist when one of his own strings broke in the midst of one of his last numbers. He did not lose an entire bar by the transfer. Mr. Fritz Giese played the Volkmann first n-ovtment with his ever ready musical sympathy and glib execution. But one feels like recommending the 'celloist to be wary of dosing his beautiful smooth tone. For the first time In years a tendency to stringlness was suggested yesterday afternoon. It must be the result of lack of practice. "Musical Fritz," as he Is called in Bcston. can never entirely lose his cunning with the bow he has handled so successfully for so long a time. Miss Trebelll and Mr. Towne were the vochI soloists. TrebelH did not reveal an increase of the "divine alllatus" since Tuesday nlsht. Her voice is brittle by nature. But the "Ah For e Lui" arta from "Traviata" gave scope for frequent de Ilchtful repetitions of her pure mezzo voce head tones. Execution is more her forte than expression. More fire wa3 perceptible in her last song. "Through Sunny Spain." than at any time previous. Mr. Towne seemed in better voice than at his first uft-urance. The intense "Salve Dincra" of Gounod always gives pleasure, nnd Mr. Towne did some very nice phrasing. The .MlgT.cn" overture was as delightful as ever, as were all the orchestral numbers. At the MornlnR Itehenmal. There were livtly times at the rehearsal yesterday morning. The heavy Wagner programme for the evening was something "stupendous. With the usual calm whici bad marked all of the arrangements it would be strange If the quiet could contlnue to the close of the festival. When tiiS great singer, Mla Juch. found that she was to sing her first number with the chor i, she refused and sail that It was not

customary so to sing, or words to that effect, and for a time the grand spinning chorus was threatened with disastrous failure. It even went so far that changes were announced in the programme. Then some one else said that when the programme was first made out Mis Juch waa engaged to sing the ballade, with the spinning chorus. About ten days ago a letter was received from Miss Juch's manager saying that she would not sing the number. So, of course, when the programmes came out the number was left off. It was so necessary to have the number correct, that when Miss Juch refused to sing it some arrangement had to be made and Miss Stein was spoken to and consented to fill the part. There were many consultations yesterday and finally It was all amicably arranged and the programme went off in a style that made hundreds feel that It was really the gala night of the week. Miss Juch was seen at the Denison and was asked for her version of the story. She replied that she did not like to air her grievances, but rather than have her friends In Indianapolis and probably an audience of two thousand or more misunderstand the matter, should they hear of it. she would say that when she found that she was on the programme for five numbers, any two of which was as much as a singer ought to do, she ought to be excused from some one or more of them That any artist who had any regard for herself would not sing. (This was said in reference to not doing herself credit.) But, she said, that rather than have any trouble and spoil the programme, she had decided to sing all of the five numbers. Also that through some misunderstanding, the name of her selection had been omitted from the programme. Whether it was by ignorance or Intent she would not say. but she would have liked the festival programme to have contained the name of the selection, as it was a part that required nearly thirty minutes to perform. The parts which Miss Juch sustained In last night's programme was a tremendous strain for any voice and that she carried every song through to such magnificent success stamps her not only the great Wagner singer that she is, but an artist, wltn a vocai onran with a. rare power of endurance as well as of Intense dramatic abilities.

One Man Who Did Much. To one man, who has modestly kept himself in the background during the festival, much of the success Is due, although he would strenuously deny any credit. This man is Secretary O. R. Johnson, who has looked after the many burdens of detail in the festival arrangement and who has advertised the big event better than It has ever been advertised before. Besides writing many thousand words about the festival, the people who took part In it and the music, he has smoothed over all the little rough edges that Jut out on an occasion of such magnitude and of such infinite variety of detail. Mr. Johnson's work has been of as much importance almost as that of any one man In the Grand Army entertainment. He took all this work upon his shoulders in a public spirit and because he wanted to see the festival a success. Inmrnitarrd Notes. At the close of Miss Stein's solo she received a very large basket of flowers from the front and was recalled to receive it. The marriage of Miss Juch to Mr. Wellman will take place June 27 at Stamford. Conn. A number of friends will be invited to attend the ceremony. Misa Stein wore a picturesque gown last evening. It was an Kmplre style, made of white silk, with a golden girdle. It was very simple, but exceedingly becoming. Mr. Mills had a seat In the east corridor, v.'here he rested and listened to the programme last night, applauding the singers and enjoying tho music of his fellow artists. Just before Mr. Mills's number Wednesday night a bright young woman was heard to say: "Mr. Mills will have' a heavy Job to Handel 'Sampson. The programme number waa an aria, "Honor and Arms," "Sampson." There Is no pleasing some people. Mr. Frledheim received the loudest and longest applause of any of the artists, and yet a musician of this city was heard to say that "he played Just as if he was a piece of machinery " Mile, Trebelli wore a French gown at the matinee. It was of a gray and blue brocade, with large velvet bows at the side, tn the center of which were tied .long bunches of flowers. Her hat was of purple violets ard pink. It need not be taken as an omen of III that the patrons of the festival were about drowned out two nights out of three. "It's an 111 wind," etc. Owners of carriages for hire think the festival a financial success from their point of view. Mr. Arena and Mr. W. H. Donley will go to Cincinnati next week to attend the festival. Most of the artl3ts who have taken part In the festival here are on the programme there. The Cincinnati festival will be great on tnat account. That Mr. Marteau has preaence or mind as well as skill In playing his vlclln was shown when a string broke and he turnfd and took an instrument from a membjr of the orchestra and completed his number without lesing his time with the orchestra. A lady In the audience who has lived In Germany and has studied music In that country is enthusiastic over the chorus, and savs in that country where a chorus is a permanent thing and where rehearsals are held the year round, and year after year, she never heard such perfect chorus work. Miss Minnie Delner.'who has played all cf the accompaniments for the rehearsals of the great choru3 and has fulfilled her rart in getting the m?n-"iers ready for the festival. wa3 pre2ntel with a pretty lace pin by the chorus. The design Is a wreath of Ivy leaves, and separating the leaves are tiny pearl3. Miss Juch wore a gown that seemed to just suit the Wagner night. It was a full loose-fronted dress of yellow-green silk, and wai accordion pleated. The sleeves were full puffs of white silk, and were caught to the shoulders with bands of silver and crystal passementerie, and there were two unique ornaments of the silver and crystal on the front of the corsage. When Mr. Arens was directing an orchestra In Europe he brought out Am?riC3n compositions and became known as the champion of music by Americans. Among the numbers wnica were ine greaiei successes wer3 the Suite O?. 42, "In a Haunted Forest." by MacDowell. and it was by speclal arrangement and by the courtesy of Mr. Mollenhauer that he directed that and the "Serenade." by Victcr Herb:rt. Why is it that so many musicians have a long lock of hair which is constantly getting In the way? Yesterday Mr. Marteau's faca from the rieht side covld not be seen above the nose line on account of his lock. It was getting in his eyes and was a continual source of annoyance to him. Mr. Frledheim also has a lock, but It does not trouble him quite as much. Mr. Mollenhauer ha3 too much business on hand to .cultivate Samsonlan beauties. Just at the close of the first part Mr. W. C. Smock stepped forward and, saving that Mr, Arens had learned how to beat time but did not know how to keep time, presented him with a handsome gold watch, with 'the regards of the members of the chorus. Mr. Arens wis much pleased, and when the chorus and friends gathered about him he pulled from his .packet a silver watch and said that It had b:en given to him yeira ao by another choru3 which he had led. The ushers feel that they have not received their full share of justice when they are criticised. They performed the part of seating the vast audience and their remuneration was the privilege of hearing the programme. Mr. Mayer, president of the festival association, std they should not be Marred for any trouble cf Wednesday evening, for with the selling of r.eison tickets the seats had net been marked off the diagram, and two and even three coupons had been hold for the same sen the same evening. The fault was not with the ushers, but because of, having too many to sell the tickets. While the lab.r of the ushers does not cover many hours, yet they are required to walk many steps.

DAMAGE DONE IN INDIANA Portions of Six Anderson Glass Factories in Iluins. Wabash and Hartford City Receive a Less Seriou3 Visitation Great Solar Cyel ne Reported. KUNKLE, O., May 17. A tornado passed one-fourth ol a mile west of here at 4:3) o'clock this afternoon, killing five persons, fatally injuring two others and slightly wounding several more. The dead are: DANIEL B Alt RETT, right leg broken; arm torn off and internally injured. MRS. DANIEL BARRETT, disembowled and legs torn off. MARTHA DASO. granddaughter of the above, head crushed, died two hours afterwards. GEORGE OXINGER, body beaten into a shapeless mass. ' MYRTA DASO, crushed and lying In her sister's arms, dying four hours later. The Injured were: CHARLES COLE, fatally hurt internally. . T , MRS. CHARLES COLE, head crushed; JENNIE CREEK, head crushed; will recover. Houses, fences, trees and obstructions of all kinds in the path of the storm were carried away and nothing left to mark the spot where they had stood except huge holes In the ground. The path, of the storm was about one-quarter of a mile wide and six miles In length, the great funnel-shaped cloud traveling in an Irregular southeasterly course. The greatest damage was done about a mile from where It rose and passed on east. The building In which were Daniel Barrett, his wife and their granddaughters, Myrta and Martha Daso, is so completely demolished that not even a portion of the foundation is left. The first remnants of the house are at least one hundred yards from where it stood. Here began a few scattered boards and further on can be seen larger portions of the building, and about forty rods from where it stood lies the roof almost intact, together with portions of the frame work. Mrs. Barrett, who was the worst mangled, was carried over a quarter of a mile and dropped in a cemetery, her dismembered limbs being found about one hundred yards further on. There was very little left of the woman's body that resembled the form of a human being. Portions of the trunk were found In three fields. The search' for hef remains continued fully an hour before enough waa found for burial. Daniel Barrett was carried about forty rods from where the cyclone struck him. His. hand was torn off at the wrist and scattered to the winds, one leg was beaten into a pulp and he suffered internal Injuries. He was still breathing when found, but died soon afterward without becoming conscious. Martha and Myrta Daso, who were In another part of the house, were left near where the house seems to have gone to pieces. Martha, the eldest, ag:d fourteen, was apparently Injured only about the head, which was crushed in on the left side, showi i . The younger sister, aged ten, lay almost In the arms of Martha, and her bones In .all parts of her body were broken and ground into the tlesn. Nothing could be done to relieve the little one's suffering, and she died at 10 o'clock in the evening. George Oxlnger, a hired hand on the place, who was In the field plowing, saw the storm coming and made for the barn. He succeeded In getting his horses inside and started for the house, wv.icn was about ten rods distant and exactly In line with the storm.. Witnesses say that the man was lifted from the ground and whirled Into the air at least a hundred feet, together with timbers, fences, t e2s and other debris scooped up in the rolling avalanche. Ox.nger's lifeless body was found about one hundred yard frorn where it wes lifted lnf the air.- His bon?s protruded from the fl:sh, and his bojy Indicates that he cane in contact wiih many of the flying trees and beams. James Whittle, another farm hand in the employ of Barrett, had a marvelous escape. He was in the field with a team in company with Oxinger and started for the bam. To the fact that hi team became unmanageable an J broke away from him he probably owes his life. Minivl: l? a torn of 4oJ Inhabitants In Williams county, northeast of Fort Wayne, on the Detroit division of the Wabash, but as there 13 no telegraph office at that point a full list cf the victims has not be?n obtained. Every house and brn in the path of the storm was leveled. The courier who rode Into Bryan with the news was too greatly excited to prlve definite details. He returned to Kunkle with physicians, and until they get back to Bryan little will h? known of the loss of ILfe and extent of injuries. SIX FACTORIES DAMAGED. Tlie Storm Lnnt Mfiht I'luyed Havoc nt Anderson. Spclal to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON", Ind., May 17. One of the most destructive windstorms in the past Ave years caused great damage In this town to-night. In North Anderson the windowglass factory addition, factory No. 2, of the North Anderson company, was unroofed completely, while the other three factories of the North Anderson plant, together with those of the Victor Window-glass Company, the Indiana Box Company and the Mansfield Carriage Company, were damaged several thousand dollars. Facto" Xo. 2 was in full operation and many i the blowers were seriously Injured by th? falling timbers. One or two of the men are perhaps fatally hurt. In the city several houses were unroofed end trees blown down. A cloudburst which followed the windstorm deluged everything. TERRIFIC HAILSTORM.

Godey's Magazine. Judicious physical exercise Is necessary for all brain workers. All who lead a sedentary life neexl dally physical exercise, and it is only by proper exercise of the body that one can hope to preserve health. One hour's dally exercise In a gymnasium or at home with dumbbells or pulley weights will be of the greatest service to brain workers, who usually commit the mistake of exercising no part of the body but the head. Physical exercise, while being particularly benenclal to the young, is also a matter for the attention of adults. Vitality Is impaired and strength consumed by mental demands which are raised to a perilous height nowadays, and it Is absolutely necessary to counteract the strain by muscular activity. ' Man's destiny as regards the body i. to a great extent, in his own keeping, and it is possible, unless disease Is inherited, to have perfect health, if we study the needs of the body. Tp exercise the various parts of the body Is as necessary as to have food or sleep,' yet, as a rule, few who labor mentally take systematic bodily exercise. To get and keep the body in perfect condition is of vital importance, for, unless the blood and muscles properly perfoim their duty, the mind becomes dull and Irritable, and Intellectual labor has finally to be suspended. Treatment of Inebriety. Writer in Louisville Courier-Journal. It Is now universally acknowledged by competent authorities that inebriety Is a disease, physical as well as mental and moral, and to give the pledge of total abstinence to the Inveterate drunkard without specific instructions what to do next, and expect him to keep It, is to look for a stupendous effort which only the man of sound mental energy and bodily vigor can perform. Diet is of extreme importance, and. If skillfully directed, will wean away the craving naturally and without danger to the individual. All salted and heavy food stuffs should be avoided. To cultivate a distaste for alcohol oranges are more effective than almost anything else known. They should be taken, one at a time, before breakfast, at 11 a. m., at 1 p. m., at 3 p. m., At C p. m. and the last thing on retiring, apples and lemon Juice are also excellent. Improved Foothnll Rules. Hartford Courant. The most Interesting and important of the new football rules proposed by the "Walter Camn committee and approved by the University Athletic Club Is the one which forbids "piling up" on a man after he has been tackled and downed, and which puts a stop to momentum mass plays. "No more than three men" so runs the amended rule "shall start before the ball has been put In play." This will take a "ood deal of the thrill out of the game, but it will reduce the work of the attendant surgeons. . She Gave Htm n Delicate Hint. Washington Star. "Did you see my beautiful present from papa?" she asked of Charley Nairgo, who had come to calL "No. What Is It?" "A new clock. It's so Ingenious. It has a music-box attachment." "Very clever." "Yes. It plays 'Home. Sweet Home, every night at 10 o'clock." And Charley went that evening at just fifty-nine minutes past nine. Mr. Pelree Elected General Mnnnerr DECATUR, 111.. May 17.

Union Blade. In 1SG7 Gen. W. H. Hancock was In command at Leavenworth. The department took in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado. New Mexico and a part of Arizona. In the spring of 1866 efforts had been made to bring the entire tribes of the Araphoes and Kiowas to the same settlement. They had promised and promised, but would break their promises as often as they made them. To bring this state of things to an end. In the spring of 1867 General Hancock came over to Fort Harker and made up an expedition consisting of the entire Seventh Cavalry and three companies of a colored regiment. I think the Tenth Cavalry then quartered at the post. The colored troop3 were good men and good fighters. We started as soon as the grass was so we could graze our horses to hunt up the tribes. We knew they were camped somewhere south of us, near what Is now Oklahoma. Our scouts found them on a branch of th WahJta river. Our sc:ut. Billy Comstock, found them on this creek or r.v:r, which ever It wa, and went into their camps and got them to prom's : to oire in and make a treaty. One of their chiefs. Little Roab, and threa warrlrrs came and met us and agreed to have all f.e head chiefs thr in two days. We w:re miking forced marches toward them' all the while and they ware trying to hold us o.T by promises as long as poss;Ll. Their scheme was to get ther p3r.l:s In tool shape for a long forced mire.?. Iknxck was too easy with them. The tcout, Cmstock, wanted him to hurry up and surround them and bring them to taw. We marched up to within five mil:s of thlr camp and found them dnwn up intj as pretty a line of battle ts )oi ever sa.v. We expected an attack, so w: formed f jr a fight. Just at this Jun.tur the s nt out a squad with a white flas, and a srrall party from our side went forward to meat them. They wanted to see the wrdte ch.ef, so Hancock and Custer went forwa.d and hel l a short parley w th tne h.d c.i f a. Black Katie and Santanta. T..ey wantel the soldiers to move bict mtl morni,.g. as they said their women t-nd chilire.i would te afraid of them, in the ao ning they would all come down ad irnki a treaty: hut instead of moving bick our generals thought It better to mirch don to the river and camp within sfeh; cf the Indians. A VILLAGE OF TEPEES. We got into camp about 4 p. m., right opposite the Indian village. f This village was located on one of the prettiest spots I ever saw in Kansas: it was a lony island formed by two branches of the, river, and their teepees were laid out very regular for an Indian village. Comstock told the guards that these pesky redskins were going to play us a trick before morning,- but the generals thought they knew more than the scout. Our pickets were put on stronger than usual, and a close watch kept for retreat, but no precautions were taken to watch their movements after dark. Taps sounded, officers all went to bed as easy as though they were In some Eastern city. I was the chief bugler, so I bunked down near headquarters and rlsrht alongside the scout Comstock. As we lay side by side Comstock said to me that he believed those red Imps were fixing to get away; "but." said he. "them fellows with the shoulder straps know too much, but they will know more after they have followed Indians as long as I have. . Billy," continued Cornstock. "If I call you, be ready to push wind into that old horn of yorn, and do it quick, too." Sure enough about 12:30 he reached over and, giving me a shake, said: "Go over and tell Custer that I say the Indians ore all cone." I did as he bid, and the General Jumped and walked down to where Comstock was and asked him how he knew the Indians were pone. "Well. Colonel, I ain't slept a wink, and there hasn't a dog barked over there for three hours: If they was there you would year them tarnel curs, yelping all night" Custer awoke several of the best men and we went to reconnoiter. lie at the same time sent to awake every man as still as possible, and ordered to saddle. We were rot long in findng out, that our scout was correct, for he waded across and went Into some of the deepest tepees and found them deserted, which fact he came back and reported. By this 'time the command was in line, and we made a dash into the village and found It deserted with the exception of one old buck so sick he Tcould not be moved, ani a white woman, also sick. They left their tepees standing, as tney did not have time to take them with them. We unsaddled and fed ourselves and our horses and then set fire to every one of their lodges and burned them to the ground. CUSTER HAD HIS WAY. At daylight we started after the Indians, we struck a trail and Custer wanted to follow ' it, but Comstock said we would get fooled if we did, but Custer would have his way, and after following the trail found out he was following about thirty old squaws, with old family ponies stretched out with poles dragging to make a trail; we came up in sight, and Custer looked sick and said: "Well, Comstock. I will follow you and see if you can find tnem Indian:-," and -vcv after that I never say, Custer, try to persuade the scout. If his mind was fixed: he would say, "Ga ahead. Bill, and . I will follow." The rext day we struck scattering trails and kriew that we were on their track, but they had got a big start on us. On this day we run Into a big herd of elk, the first I ever saw. We succeeded in getting eleven out of the herd there must have been over a hundred of them. It was fine tport while it lasted. We found lot3 of buffalo and antelope, and had great sport chasing them. Custer had a big pack of hounds with him and ho just felt In clover. Tha next day we started early and were making for the Smoky river when we run Into a very large herd of buffalo, and the General started off and told me to come along. I had a pood horse, but he was rretty well played out, for we had been riding hard for six davs before we struck the Indiin villase. and it was more than hard riding when we started to catch them after they had given us the slip, so I was not very anxious to give rny horse any more work than I was obliged to, but I struck out and I had to ride fast to keep in sight of Custer, though I did minape it. and we soon came uo to the herd. By this time we were out of sight of the command. SHOT HIS HORSE INSTEAD. Custer rode up alongside of a fine bull. His horse was green in Buffalo hunting and the General had all he could do to keep alongside. His horse would make lunges to get away, and Custer would spur him up where he wanted him. When at last he got up where he wanted to fire at the bull, he rocked his pistol and it went off and shot bis own horse In the head instead of the bull. Th home dropped dead in his tracks, and Custer went several feet over his head, rooting the ground with his nose. He was a sorrv looking sight when he sat up and Razed around as If kind of dazed. The hounds were all in the sport, but as soon as he went to the ground they all huddled back and looked wistfully at him. as much as to say, "Master, are you hurt?" I gave the General my horse, but we were lost, so h told me to mount and ride back to the first divide and see If I could find the command. I did so. and had not cone but ' a mile or two when I

They saw us and came toward us, instead of keeplna their course, which ras not a great deal out of their way. Those were the first dayg of our Uuffalo hunting and Indian fishtlng1. and we were all green at It. but we loarned a. thing or two as we went along. Custet said to General Hancock he had learnel several tood lessons; one was, never to interfere with Comstock when he was after Indians; another thing was, never shoot a Buffalo with an old Starr revolver on a green horse. This ride was a Ions one and brought us away up Into the North Platte country. 1JIIITAIX AXD COIHTMSV. A Few I In In I not. Which Senator Might Well Consider.. Detroit Tribune. When Senator of the United States rise In . their places and object to retaliatory legislation against England, be'ause it' is not compatible with international courtesy, the patriotic citizen experiences that tired feeling. There is no such thing as International courtesy with Great Urltaln. as the short history of this country proves again and again. It is either abject servility or stern retaliation. The British lion is a wolf. The beat Is safe only when it i faced. Never fin:e th war of the revolution has th? wolf ceased to watch for a chance to get . behind America, and It has nver lost an opportunity to attack thi country in the rear. With ppeclou smile?, which sio Its teeth very plainly, it talks of coml'jr of nations speaking the same language and fprung from the same encestry. and at th same time It Is watching for the onenln? to bite when, we are not looking. The occasions in the past when Hritain hs accorded the United States decent rereot, are few. The rest of the record cf th relations of the two countries is a humiliating repetition of slUht and in?!-", on ona side and submission on the ether. It'll about time ths record was changed. Let a few of the weak-knee-1. thmiah courteous Senators look to the example o 'President Grant for helpful Inspiration.. Let them read the history of the Ainm claims; the story of the privateer fitted out by England to harass us In the Ptnigle to Uphold the Union; of the vast damage don bv that privateer to the property of loyal citizens; of the efforts of the aggrieved parties to get redress, only to be met with insult and rebuff at the court of St. .Iam"s; of the purchase of the private claims by the United States government unon the advice of President Grant; of the firm stand that old hero took upon the tail of the "noble brute across the water, insisting that the indemnity for the depredations of the Alabama be paid at once: of the prompt compliance with the demand to the tune of J15.O00.000; and if It does not brace their their nerve and stop the talk nbout international courtesy, it rhows a lack of patriotIsm where patriotism is most needed. We need a little of the Caesrim of th, conqueror of Appomattox at Washington. The Soouer the Hotter.. Hartford Courant. The fact that they call themselves an "industrial army" does not any more warrant a gang of tramps In helping themselves to other people's rolling stock than to other people's live stock. The sooner this truth is impressed upon their minds, painfully and permanently, the better. Xe emnry Itelnxntion. Boston Transcript. A man cannot always be the same everywhere.

Lucretia O. Putnam, of Forristdale, Mass., was ut terly miserable and sick. Her spine, liver, heart, and brain were all diseased. The weight of her body caused terrible Eains in her ack, and it was sometimes several hours before she could dress. This woman's trouble was in her womb, affecting her whole constitution. She found new life in Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Coi,iPound. She says: "I am like one raised from the dead. I was sick so long I thought I never could get well. "The suffocating, gasping attacks and awful bearingdown feeling left me, my appetite returned, and my friends wondered at my improved looks. I believe Mrs. Pinkham's remedies are a sure cure for the misery of our se "
