those de.iring to get further Information Jriay communicate with him. addressing NJshan OarabeJian, No. 13 Fountain street, Worcester. Mass., or with the center, M. lieniaxd. pone restaate, Athens, Greece "A very Intelligent Armenian gentleman, who speaks fluently and correctly English, a. well as Armenian, and Is an eloquent defender of the revolution, assured me that they have the strongest hopes of preparing the way or Russia's entrance to Asia Minor to take possession. In answer to the question 'how he replied: 'The Huntchagis bands organized all over the empire will watch their opportunities to kill Turks and Kurds, set tire to their villages and then make their escape into the mountains. The enraged Moslems will then rise and fall on the defenseless Armenians and daughter them with such barbarities that itusau will enter in the name of humanity and Christian civilization and take pose.Ion. "When I denounced the scheme as atro ciou3 and Infernal beyond anything ever known, he candidly replied: 'It appears so to you, no doubt.' "

Dr. f 1 1 i m 1 1 n Interviewed. LKXINGTON, Mas-?., Dec. 7.-Dr. Cyrus Hamlin, of this town, whoje article In the Congregationalism on the Armenian troubles a year ago, has been translated by the Turkish government and gent out to the European powers as a defense for the recent atrocities committed on the Armenians by . the Moslems, was seen to-night by a reporter. Dr. Hamlin was for many years a missionary in Turkey and knows something of the Turks regarding Christians. He had. moreover, a seven years' contest with the Turkish authorities over the building of the famous Roberts College in Constantinople, but finally carried the day. He said: "I have always said that tne revolutionary movement is of Russian origin. Russian gold and craft govern It. That is my opinion still. The Turkish government Is wholly inexcusable for the lecent atrocities. It has been published In the newspaper reports that word was sent from Constantinople to subdue the rebellion. It would be as reasonable to guard the wolves of Kurdistan from the attacks of the Iambs from the plains. The Turkish government shows that it knows the weakness of it position by Its frantic efforts to hide the truth from Europ3; It will not even allow persons to travel from the region of the existing troubles to the tapltal and many Armenians who have attempted to reach Constantinople have ben captured by the authorities and sent back. 'I have a strong huspldon that the Turkish minister at Washington Is in league vith Russia. He belongs to the Greek Church and he is In natural league with Hussia. 1 cannot see why the Turks have aent a Greek- to represent them in America. "Yen! has reported to the Turkish government that the Armenians In America are sending arms through Persia into Turkey for revolutionary purposes. That is childish. I venture to yay that there has never teen a rifle nor a pound of ammunition rent Into Turkey by the revolutionists of Armenia. The whole matter emanates from Jtussla and is merely a subterfuge to give good occasion for Russia to march Into Armenia and taks Control and If th2 Tnrks are to be so easily focled let Russia go in and teach them a lesson, although I am strongly opposed to having Russia do so, because her government will be much worse than the government of Turkey. "1 am profoundly disappointed at the folly and wickedness of th Turkish government and lt3 action In using what I have written Sor purposes for which it was never intended is exactly opposed to my views. That is evident to people who read the whole article. You may depend that the Turkish government has not produced it In full. 1 am still opposed to the revolutionary movement, because it is silly and Xoollsh and the Turkish government can never exculpate Itself from the atrocities by reference to any proposed revolution by the Armenians. The Armenians are Jiaps two and a half to three million of unarmed peasantry scattered among twenty million of Moslems armed and accustomed to arms. ".Vow, Is not such a revolution an absurdity on the face of it? I hid hoped that in the present horrors the pucllshed report had been greatly exaggerated, but later advices only seem to show a greater degree of barbarity. The Turkish government has pent a commission to investigate the affair and at the head is Shah, who is known to be an enemy of the Armenians. Of course, that commission will not make a true report. It will be utterly unreliable. I feel that the Christian world ought to protest against the horrors emphatically, and I also feel that the signatories of the Berlin treaty are under obligations to take up the question. The Turks knowing of the existence of a secret revolutionary party, make the facts an excuse to open an attack on the Armenians. The idea that the Turk3 fear the Armenians or a revolution umong them is utterly absurd." Stories Toltl by Refugee. ATHENS. Dec. 7. A further story of nutrage by Turks has been told here by an eyewitness of the occurrence. An Armenian has just arrived In this city from 11 ad J In. an Armenian town, from which place he escaped shortly after the outrage was perpetrated. Hadjin Is, or, rather, was, a town of l,2uu wooden houses, situated near Marash. The refugee states that on the night of Oct. 23 four Turkish officers and two gendarmes set fire to the town, using petroleum to cause the more rapid spread of the flames. An Armenian flamed Merdakian Garabed. with his mother, withnessed the incendiaries at their work and. cried for help. A Turkish official, who was appealed to to send aid to extinguish the fire, refused to permit any assistance. Garabed was seized, by order of the officials, and thrown Into prison. Three days later Garabed was killed and Ids body thrown into the ruins of his burned house. Two refugees have also arrived here from 2ltun. They state that Turkish troop3 seized Archbishop Nteohos In the monastery of Fournoot. near Zcltun, together xtth eleven residents of the village of Zeltvin. All the prisoners were taken in chains to Smyrna eleven days ago. Their fate Is unknown. CO.NTISL'IACJ TIIK tVAK. Japan Xever Treated Cleveland' MeUlntlon Offer SerlouMly. LONDON. Dec. 8. The correspondent of the Times at Sshannhai telegraphs that Japan never treated the American offer of mediation seriously. China's direct ap5 eat. the correspondent adds, was futile, apan intends to attack Kon Choo, a town $r Manchuria, eight miles from the north .Shore of Leas Tung, avoiding- an attack Of Moukden. City of Che-Foo. Che-Foo. In whose commodious and handsome harbor the United States Aslatiq squadron will shortly be mobilized, stands on the northern side of the Shan-Tuns promontory, facing- the Yellow sea. It is h. bustling, go-ahead place, and is one of the treaty ports. Tung-Chow Is, from a political standpoint, the municipal city of the province, but Its harbor is too shallow for any but native craft, and so Che-Foo. which fifty years ago was a mere fishing village, has. absorbed all the foreign trade and has left the old-time capital far ber Jilnd. . The foreign population Is not large. It . numbers about three hundred, the greater part consisting of missionaries, their wives and their children. The houses in the settlement are large and commodious and are surrounded by spacious gardens. The . streets are wide, clean and lined with trees. The climate is rather cold In winter, but In summer is so admirable that the place has lon been used as a sanitarium and summer rtsort from May to November. The merchants send their families here from other points on the coast, the men-of-war visit the place a week at a time, and the missionaries from up-country" and ma . larious districts come here to enjoy a welldeserved vacation each year. I'ony riding and racing, tennis, cricket, football, hockey and open air games afford healthful recreation to the community. Rowing, yachting, fishing, bathing and shooting are also popular amusements. There are three firstclass hotels, with a fine table and excellent attendance. The native quarter contains a few fine establishments, official and commercial, but as a whole is dirty, squalid and malodorous. The houses are low, poorly built and of one story. The streets are narrow, and devoid of drains and sewers. All sewage and filth are thrown out Into the public thorough fares. The place is not so filthy as Amoy, Foo-Chow and Canton, which are acknowledged to be the vilest municipalities on the face of the globe. It Is bad enough, ho ever, to produce disgust in a foreign drvll" who ee it for the tirst time, and to engender zymotic diseases, which sweep away hundreds every year. The population of the city is over 40.000 and tf the suburlis about 2fUw more. The place Is one of substantial commercial importance.

Result of the Autopsy nt St. Louis Over Martin Meyer's Dody. ST. LOUIS, Dec. 7. An autopsy was held yesterday over the body of Martin Meyer, the patient at the City Hospital whose CDmplication of diseases has denied all attempts at diagnosis. The case of Martin Meyer has been often mentioned and has been fully described in medical Journals. Its peculiar ymptoms, and its contradictory aspects, made It one of the most remarkable cases in the history of the practice of medicine In St. Louis. Death resulted after an Illness of about twenty-three years. During this long period he was many times before the clinic at the City Hospital and hundreds of physicians stood in doubtful julgment over him. When' Meyer came first to the hospital, in 1S7L he was afflicted with several maladies, one of which was of such a peculiar character as to instantly attract widespread attention. His skin, during the different stages of this disease, assumed so wide a range of colors as to give him the name of "the rainbow man." This affliction was then noted on the record as "Addison's . disease," and the same record, twenty-three years afterward, names this disease as the cause of death. During the intervening period Meyer has been almost constantly an 4nmate of the hospital. The history of the case presented no clew to the physician. Meyer's parents had lived to an unusual age, and there were no indications of hereditary complaints. He himself, until he came to the hospital, had enjoyed ordinarily good health, excepting for an attack of malarial fever, when he was about sixteen years of age. Meyer was thirty-three years of age upon his first admission to the hospital. After a time bis skin changed to a peculiar yellow tint, from which it would return at times to its original color. There were other puzzling symptoms, such as abnormal swellings of the abdomen, etc., wh'ch could not be accounted for. During the latter period of his illness he was much troubled with attacks of coughing, accompanied by symptoms resembling those of consumption and lung diseases. Meyer was a man of small physiqu -not weighing more than one hundred tnds. He was unmarried and died at tb ige of fifty-six years. The post mortem examination was made at the City Hospital. There were several physicians present, in addition to the medical staff of the hospital, among them Dr. I. N. Love and Drs. Moore and Greenfield Sluder. The autopsy Jeveloped the fact that the man's liver whs contracted to an unusual degree. Ware the bile ducts leading from It were obstructed; these phenomena are sufficient in themdves to account for the skin diseases, of which satisfactory dhignoses could not be made from the -contradictory external evidences presented to the observation of the physician while the patient was alive. There was also a deposit In the liver, the precise nature of which can be determined only by microscopical examination. A similar examination will also be made of the capsules of the kidneys, the appearance of which denoted an abnormal condition. The kidneys were found to be In a diseased state, with marked symptoms of chronic interstitial nephritis. In addition to this, the demonstration revealed an ulceration of the aorta, which is the principal artery of the body, together with calcareous deposits in the valves of the heart. The conditions described were the most prominent features noticed at the examination. The microscope will bring out other features, and a complete report of the autopsy cannot be made until these are noted. Dr. Heine Marks eays that the work of the examiners will not be finished for several weeks, during which time a number of chemical tests and microscopical observations must be made, and that in the meantime no definite' conclusions can be made as to the real character of the diseases which have so long puzzled the doctors.

IN A PACKING CASE

CHICAGO AX Ml'IlDERED, II IS BODY PLACED IX A IIOX, Carted Away from n Cellar nnd Throat Into n Hole Beneath tt Sidewalk. The Minneapolis Tragedy. CHICAGO, Dec 7. The dead body of A. D. Barnes, janitor of the Hiawatha Building-, at No. 2T3 Thirty-seventh street, was found this morning Jammed into a packing case which had been thrust Into a hole beneath the sidewalk on South Park avenue, between Sixty-third and Sixty-fourth streets. The body, which was naked, with the exception of a pair of socks, bore over a score of ugly wounds, half of them sufficient to cause death, even If the man had sustained, no further Injury than the one blow. The wounds ' had. evidently been inflicted with both the cutting edge and the blunt side of an ax, and covered the body from the right temple do vn to the knees. Two men are In custoOy, charged with the crime Edward Jordan, the assistant Janitor, and Lewis Jersey, a man of no occupation. The crime was unquestionably committed In the basement of the house, as the police discovered there, late this aftetnoon, the clothing worn by Barnes when last seen alive and the bloodsmeared 'ax. Signs of a struggle were plainly visible, showing that Barnes must have made a hard fight. No other motive than that of robbery Is ascribed for the ( crime, for Barnes, as far as known, had no enemies, and a watch and thirty dollars in money which he had on his person when last seen are missing. The police are also looking for Annie . Mahaney, a girl with whom Barnes was at one time very intimate. There Is no especial clew leading up to her, however. After killing Barnes In the basement the murderers endeavored to shove the body face downward into a packing case three and a half feet long, two feet wide and ten Inches deep. In order to force the body In, the legs had been bent under the trunk and the right leg broken above the knee In order to facilitate the packing operations. The left hip had been slashed and pounded with the axe in order to allow the bending of the body. In addition to these wounds there was a three-cornered hole in the left temple. The body was hacked In such a manner as to make It appear that the murderers had rolled it over and over and chopped at It just as though it were nothing but a log of wood. In the box with the body were several pieces of carpet which had once belonged to the Pullman company and a bunch of woman's harr whlch, however, had evidently been picked up with one of the pieces of carpet. The evidence against Jordan Is chiefly of his own admission. He called at the morgue to see if he could Identify the body, thinking, he said, that It might be Barnes, whom he had not seen since Tuesday. He at once identified the body as that of Barnes. It was conclusively proven that he had been with Barnes later than that and had been several times in the basement of the building since Wednesday night, when the murder was probably committed, and had made no report of the blood stains. Also in his coat pocket were found several pieces of carpet identical with that found with the body. These things decided the police to take him Into custody, although he and Jersey both stoutly deny having any knowledge of the crime. MISS GIXG'S MIIIDER. The Hnywnrd Ilrothers Arraigned and Held for Examination. MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 7. Although the Hay ward brothers are in cells charged with murder In the first degree. It 13 frankly admitted by the "authorities that they have not yet laid hands on the man who fired the shot which killed Catharine Ging. In fact, while they have made great progress, they are really a long: ways yet from solving the mystery as to the identity of the actual murder. It Is believed that a warrant Is out for the apprehension of the man, but the authorities will neither affirm nor deny that they know who he is. The alibis of the Hayward brothers are perfect so far as tha time of the actual murcier is concerned. An important admission made by Hayward to the authorities while In the sweat-box yesterday which has just leaked out is that Miss Ging was his mistress. He admitted the liaison, and in the next breath denied emphatically that he desired' her death. It is known, too, that Hayward was very much smitten with the yourg lady whom he took to the theater on the night of the tragedy; that he was in fact engaged to marry her, an', that the trousseau had been bought and th,? day set. The authorities believe that this fact may furnish the additional motive deemed necessary to explain the crime. It has seemed scarcely possible that r,o horrible a crime should be instigated by Hayward for the 110,000 insurance money which would be obtained, and which he would have to nare with others who were in the conspiracy. Five thousand dollars would be no incentive to a man of Hayward's stamp, who often had more than that In his pocket, and was known to stake a thousand on a turn of the card. His approaching marriage, and the necessity of ending the liaison with Miss Ging may have furnished a far stronger motive. The Hayward brothers were formally arranged in the municipal court this morning and examination was continued until Thursday. ABOUT JOHN BURNS. Wlint the English Labor Lender Hun Done and Hopes to Do. London Letter in Philadelphia Press. "Oh, father, see how the police are knocking that poor young man about." These words were spoken Just eighteen years ago on Clapham Common by a fairhaired English girl returning home from church with her father Sunday morning. A young fellow, dark, vigorous and athletic, was struggling in the midst of an excited mob to escape from the officers who were arresting him for defending the rights of free speech In an extemporaneous harrangue. His coat torn off, waistcoat wrenched from his back, thick black locks disheveled and covered with grime, he presented a spectacle calculated to awaken the compassion of a less sympathetic spectator. As the words tell upon the ears of the lad he turned his head by an effort and exclaimed: "Never mind me, my girl; they are not hurting n:e." These were the first words of a courtship which speedily followed and terminated in k narriage which has proved to be one of congeniality and mutual helpfulness. The hero of the above adventure was at the time an unimportant youth of eighteen employed In a candle factory of the neighborhood. To-day he stands forth as one of the most powerful and remarkable characters In the public life of England, and la probably the greatest and ablest labor leader in the world. That a man who should have really accomplished so much In such a short time In the elevation of his fellow-beings should have received his first inspiration on Clapham Common is not surprising to those familiar with the history of the chosen home of the "Low Church Party" during its golden age, in the palmy days when it numbered Wilberforce and James Stephens, the Thorntons and Charles and itobert Grant. Macaulay has contended that the share which the "Clapham sect" took in the education of the people and in the spread of Christianity was great. They were the real destroyers of the slave trade and of slavery. They .ere In their day men of the greatest public weight. They were the life and soul of the movements In favor of more enlightened government during the early part of this century, and the spring of the active energy which has brought about many social reforms and Improved the conditions of life In England. Born in this neighborhood, John Burns has witnessed during his life astounding changes both In public sentiment and In the material condition of that part of London. It was no unusual thing for himself and the brave young woman who had Joined her fortunes with him to be mobbed on the streets and to flee before a Fhower To keep up with the times you cannot afford to be without Jlarper's Weekly.

it of rotten vegetables, old boots and strong epithets. Though only thirty-six he has lived to be returned to Parliament for this very division and to be regarded as the tutelary genius of Battersea in the fullest and broadest sense of the words. He has lived to see one of the most disagreeable and forlorn parts of this tremendous metropolis developed into a clean, well-ordered, healthy locality of the "outer zone," ith public library, public baths and a municipal life of which the inhabitants may well be proud. Since he has been actively in public life he has seen a swamp and waste field converted into one of the most perfect and beautiful parks In London. A park kept up by the people for the people. John Burns, from the back room of his modest home of Lavender Hill, can almost survey his entire district. A district which, under his incessant work, is steadily improving in morality, sanitation and in material prosperity. A district In which the science of looking after the unemployed has been carried on with marvelous success, and which in itself forms a phase in municipal life worth a journey across the Atlantic to study. "Is It possible," I hear some people say, "that you are writing this about John Burns, Socialist, demagogue, agitator, excriminal convict from Pentonville?" The Identical same John Burns. The explanation is simple enough. The English people have taken this great dreamer, this man who has consecrated his life to help the wage earner, the bread winner, and put him at constructive legislation. He has, indeed, been caught with his socialistic ideas ready to blossom, and hitched to the dull, everyday work of legislating for the greatest community on earth London. Here he has found scope. for his genius and opportunity for his energy. He has learned a lesson that has changed the whole course of his life; that has changed a man capable of leading a revolutionary mob Into a molder of public opinion, capable of elevating the working classes of the kingdom: that has converted a destructive Into a constructive force. Best of all in the case of this extraordinary man the change has not spoiled him. He seems to have the same virile force, the same rugged honesty, the same spirit of self-Kacrlllce, the same enthusiasm, the same determination, and the same indomitable courage as in the days of less responsibility. The humdrum of legislation in its myriad details has not destroyed the picturesque, dampened the spirit and lessened the hopefulness. He has not sunk Into the dull typical creature who as a rule steers the British trades unions. Neither is he the continental visionary, nor has he the reckless fanaticism and egotism of the Debs. t "Debs," said this man to me yesterday, "in his profile resembles Napoleon and he has wrecked himself and his followers in trying to live up to the resemblance." Burns is not unmindful of what Burns has accomplished and by no means devoid of self-confidence, but at the bottom he Is a Scotch-Londoner with a big brain, a well-poised head and an honest heart. So Impressed am I with this man's sincerity that I believe nothing could swerve him from what he believes to be his duty. While undoubtedly the leading representative of the Brit;sh worklngmen he has become In a still greater degree the representative of London. Mr. Stead, I think correctly, calls him a municipal statesman. In a conversation the other day at Mowbray House I asked the editor of the Review of Reviews what he thought of Burns. He promptly answered: "Burns has an adequate conception ol the great city in which he labors and lives, and it is because this is so that I regard him as inevitably destined some day to be the Lord Mayor of Greater London. Perhaps Syndic would be a better term, for John Burns, who was nurtured In his youth upon Ruskin, and who has often sat at the feet of Mr. Morris, has grafted upon the English municipal idea somewhat of the artistic idea associated with the Italian cities of the middle ages." "Will he succeed T' 1 suggested. "John Burns will not be able to make London as beautiful as the fair Bride of th Adriatic, nor does he even in his wildest dreams expect to transform our capital into another Florence, but that is the kind of romantic Ideal which ever gleams before his eye. He wishes to glorify city life, to remake the city, this squallld, cockneyfled desert of bricks and mortar, into a living, breathing thing1 of beautv, to restore at the end of the nineteenth century somewhat of the grace and glory of those mediaeval days when England was Merrie England still, and the crush and rush of competition 'had not ground all the poetry and beauty out of existence. For John Burns Is no rude and churlish barbarian, who would reduce this city, the capital of our world-wide empire, into a gigantic congeries of artisans' dwellings of the Peabody . type; but he would give, light to London,, create a soul under its ribs of death, "and make Londoners exult In ministering to the beauty and splendor of their civic life." And this is precisely how John Burns struck me after I lhad spent an entire morning with him partly at his home, partly strolling through streets upon streets of neat, comfortable workmen's cottages and in Battersea Park, which, thanks to this Scotch Londoner, is rapidly becoming pne of the most practically beautiful spots in the world. More than once during that conversation and walk I thought what a pity similar employment and opportunities could net be given all men possessing this wonderful organizing capacity that their talents might be employed in building up rather than In threatening the commonwealth.

LIVE STOCK EXCHANGE. Action of Delegate Rrgnrilinff tin Foreign Kmbargn on Our Moats. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 78.-The time of the , National Live Stock Exchange, to-day, was taken up with the discussion and settlement of three questions. The first of these was the embargo of foreign countries on American live stock and meat products It was decided to petition Congress and the Department of Agriculture to take such action as will tend to lift the embargo. In regard to the second question (government inspection) It was de-v cided to address a set of resolutions to Secretary J. Sterling Morton, of the Agricultural Department, requesting that the system of government inspection of cattle and meat products be made uniform as far as local conditions win permit; that inspectors be appointed with regard to fitness and be removed for tause incompetency and negligence, and that the system of inspection be extended to all slaughter houses within the jurisdiction of the department. The subject of chattel mortgages on cattle was submitted in the shape of a report from a committee especially appointed to consider the matter. This report, which was adopted without much discussion, favored the amendment of the laws relating to the subject at the next session or the different State legislatures. At to-morrow's session the improvement of the consular service will be the subject undar discussion. Ki-Governor Abhett'a Funeral. JERSEY CITY, N. J., Dec. 7.

Had Reputation. Belchervllle (Tex.) Letter, In St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Every once in a while in going through the rural districts of Missouri you find a pony that is a little bit smaller, a good deal uglier, a great, deal tougher and a very great deal meaner than any other horse in the neighborhood. All these things, as well as any other irregularities the animal may be guilty of, are generally accounted for by saying that he Is "a Texas mustang." This name Is like charity, In that it undoubtedly covers a multitude of sins, and it is also like charity in that it is frequently misapplied. According to the Texas vernacular which, in this special instance, happens to coincide with correct usage on the subject v the animal just described Is not a mustang at all. He could properly be described as a Texas pony, but not aB a mustang. Of course, the intelligent reader is aware that the horse is not a native of America. He knows, furthermore, - that horses were first introduced into America by Cortes and his Spaniards, and that one of his herds bslng abandoned or lost gave rise to the wild horses that once roamed in vast herds over our Western prairies. These wild horses are the mustangs proper, while the ordinary Texas pony, though descended from the same stock, has descened from that part . of the family that has always been in captivity. He is kin to the mustang, but perhaps only about his fourhundredth or five-hundredth cousin. It is no more correct to call him a mustang than it would be to call the reader Mr. Smith because his second or third cousin married a man who bore that name. In Texas, the animal descended from the captive part of the family is called a Spanish pony, or broncho which latter term is affectionately abbreviated to "bronk." Owing to the use most frequently made of him he is also known as the "cow pony." Tlure is enough of similarity between him and his wild cousin to establish the family resemblance. It consists for the most part in the proneness of both branches to do the things they oupht not to do and to leave undone the things they ought to do. Whether or not they are alike In their good traits no one at this date can tell, as their good traits seem to have been left behind in the hurry in which Mr. Cortes and his friends left Spain for America. AN OVERRATED REPUTATION. The reputation of the Texas pony is not very good, but, in some respects, at least. It Is better than It ought to be. For Instance, he has used it for more hardihood and endurance than he can show up when it comes to an actual test. In the busy season of the stockman's work, each hand is allowed from eight to twelve ponies for his own individual mount. He needs this many . in his business, and he only rides one for half a day at a time. During the morning he gallops one over thirty or thirty-live miles of prairie, tout at noon he puts his saddle on a fresh one. and. taking turn about, manages to let the first one rest from ttve to six days before he wants him at all again. Does the reader consider thirtyfive miles in six days a very remarkable record as to a horse's endurance The bare truth about the matter is that the Texas pony can do the hardest single day's work that any horse In the world can do, but after that he wants a rest. One can lope sixty or seventy miles in a day if necessary, but when It comes to making such a trip as from here to Missouri he cannot be made to come more than thirty mile3 a day at the very outside. Some stockmen claim that the ponies f to-day are Inferior In point of endurance to those of twenty and thirty years ag, and they attribute the change to some change In the grass, occasioned by the advancing tide of civilization. They claim that the grass now Is not as nutritious as it was then, and that this accounts for the change m the ponies. It is said that at that time a man considered himself well mounted if he had four ponies. Instead of the ten or twelve required to-day. The man who takes care of all the horses about a ranch is called the horse rustler. He generally pickets out one or two at night, hobbles or sidelines a few, and trusts the others to keep near these. In the morning, if any of them have wandered off. he hunts them up and brings them back. When a man wants a fresh horse to ride the horse rustler catches it for him. In doing this he varies slightly from the approved Missouri plan. That plan, as well as I remember it, is to hold the bridle behind you In one hand and an ear of corn before you in the other, and to advance toward the animal, saying, "Cope! Cope!" in the most persuasive way possible. The horse rustler would have about as much chance of catching a bronk In this jray as he would an antelope or a buffalo. Instead of doing that he gets on a good pony himself, makes a dash at the herd and throws his rope over the head or the foot of the one he wishes caught. Sometimes he throws him down, and sometimes he doesn't need to. Sometimes he puts the paddle on the animal while it is still held down, and sometimes he puts It on standing, owing altogether to the individual preferences of the animal being saddled. "BREAKING" A PONY. There are very few bronchos In Texas that are really considered wild. Any one that has been ridden a few times is considered gentle. Any animal that has been ridden once can be : ridden again, and any animal that has been driven once can be driven again. Not long aso I wanted to borrow a team, and a friend of mine kindly offered to lend me one. "Are they gentle?" I Inquired cautiously. I guess so. I Just bought them the other day, and ain't tried them yet." "Have they ever been worked?" "Don't know. I'll hitch 'em up for you In a minute, and you can tell by the way they start out." Some men when they start out for a drive would prefer to know whether or not their team had ever been driven before, but my friend and others like him did not care to be particular about trifles. However, a Texas pony Is never con-ldered rer- ; fectly safe until he has been ridden a ti.r.e or two. Tne ceremony of riding one tne first time is called "breaking" him. It differs from subsequent riding, if at all. merely in point of degree. In breaking a horse, he Is lariated,

thrown down and choked while the saddle is being put on him. A bridle and a "hackamore," or rope halter, is put on his head. Then he is generally blindfolded with a big cowboy handkerchief, which consists of something less than a square yard of tough, thick calico. When all is ready, the rope Is taken off and the blindfolded pony scrambles to his feet, and 'by the time he gets there the rider Is in the saddle. How he gets there nobody knows, for nobody; has time to- see. When the pony gains his feet the fun begins. The story of the "bucking broncho" is not much exaggerated, simply because it would be impossible to exaggerate it much. I have never really seen a broncho tie himself Into a double bow knot, but I have no doubt he could and would do so if anyone were to suggest It to him. Aside from this, there is scarcely an artifice nameable that he has not already resorted to. With his head far down between his legs, h pitches his hinder quarters straight up tr.e ten or fifteen times In a minute, and then, to vary matters a little, he assumes a perpendicular attitude with the head end up. .Suddenly he half circles around to the right, and then, quick as a flash, he half circles back to the left. In order to keep his place, the rider has to set at defiance the whole law of gravitation, and every law of motion laid down In the philosophies. How he does it. I do not know. Meanwhile, the pony is bowling and bellowing very much like a bull yearling when the hot branding Iron Is applied. If he cannot get the rider off by fair means, he tries foul; that Js, he rears up and falls back with him. More horsebreakers are killed in this way than in any other. The only thing for one who wishes to live to do Is to dart out from under the pony before he falls. When the pony rises, he must rise with It. Sometimes the pony varies things by lying perfectly quiet, and then the breaker persuades him to rise by slitting his ears, burying his rowels in his side, putting sand In his nose and gravel in his ears, and indulging in other pleasantries of similar nature. FEES OF PROFESSIONAL RIDERS. The Texan believes in general that man Is superior to the horse In particular, that there never can be a horse so wild and vicious but that some man can ride him. Cases have been known where one horse had, killed three or four breakers, but Invariably some man comes along that thinks he can ride better than the last one, and eventually somebody succeeds. For taking all the risks and doing all the work involved, the professional horse breaker receives $1 for each year of the Worse's age. If the horse Is a three-year-old, $5. For d(o!ng nothing else but break horses he receives the princely remuneration of $13 per month and board. I should about as lleve engage to make close observations on dynamite explosions at the same salary'. Of course, in handling wild horses the equipments used must correspond to the requirements of the work done. When an Easterner first sees the ponderous saddles that are put on such diminutive ponies, he is inclined to think strange of them, but on closer acquaintance with the animals this idea disappears. If an ordinary saddle were used the first Jump of the broncho would break the girth or if this were not th3 case the first time the animal fell down the saddle would be a'WTeck. Then, again, it takes a good strong saddle to stand the strain of a rope when an abled-bodied, nine hundred pound steer is Jerking at the other end of it. The Texan calls an ordinary saddle a "human" saddle; whether or not he considers his own kind an "inhuman" saddle I do not know. With all its accompaniments and appendages it weighs from fifty to seventy-five pounds, but to the inexperienced land who attempts to put It on a horse, it seems to weigh about ISO. A good stock saddle costs from $40 to $6), whereas a good cow pony costs from 120 to $40. The bridles correspond Aith the saddles In point of strength and sixe. It Is not an uncommon thing to find a bridle bit alone that weighs from two to three pounds. The "shank." as it is called, is an iron bar some six or eight inches long, running out from each end of the bit with a ring in the end to which the bridle rein is fastened. A good bridle of this kind costs about $3. The long Jingling spurs worn by the stockmen are familiar, of course, to all newspaper . readers. Sometimes, in order to exhibit their proficiency In riding, the professional horsebreakers take their feet out of the stirrups altogether, and dig their spurs into the ponies' shoulders as they ride. The blood sometimes runs down the poor animal's shoulder and leg clear to his hoof. but no matter; it Is considered a test of expertness to be able to ride that way. The stirrups ordinarily used are narrow iron affairs, through which the foot is thrust clear to the heel. Often the bottom part consists of an Iron half circle, turning on a pivot, so arranged that If the rider is thrown, the half circle turns over and releases the foot. By this means the danger of being dragged to death If thrown is made less. The stirrups are frequently tied together under the horse. As an aid to staying In the saddle, a pood long stick, wrapped around with a coat or something of the kind, Is frequetly tied across the horn of the saddle. The only objection to this is that it gives a man less chance to get out of the way If the horse should rear up and fall back on him. which, by the way. Is the worst accident the Texas horseman has to fear. THE UNTAMABLE SPANISH BREED. The Texas pony cannot well be Judged collectively. Individuals of them vary almost as much as individual men. Some of them, after a while, get perfectly gentle, but not many. The genuine" Spanish pony, untainted with any other strain of blood, generally requires to be broken over again every time he is ridden. When he begins to get fat his wickedness lncrca5es. He is like a great many people, who can be religious In time of adversity, but are apt to lose It when prosperity returns. If the Texas pony could get religion at all which is hardly an Imaginable case he would never be a Calvlnlst. He would believe in falling from grace, and, unlike many of us, his practice would coincide with his belief. His wickedness can largely be accounted for on the score of evil association1. At least two cow ponies out of three will pitch jvlth a man. but It may be because the cowboys actually encourage them In It. The average cowboy likes to ride a tolerably bad pony, and the pony shapes his conduct accordingly. After all, the cow pony is a hard-working, pains-taking little animal, and often gets poorly paid for his services. Many of them never know Ahat corn tastes like, living on grass exclusively. He is an Intelligent little fellow, ana well up in his business. A good "cutting pony" that Is, one used for rutting out. or separating cattle from the h?ard often gets more expert In the busincps than his rider. A horse can see a cow dodge almost a second before a man can, and then he turns quick as a flash to head it off. Sometimes he turns before the man can. It takes a good rider to stay on one. Sometimes a rider spurs his pony at a steer and then drops his bridle reins altogether, trusting to the pony to single the animal out. Such art animal as that may sell for 580 or fcS. The cow pony is a great friend to the stockmen, and they could not well do without him. A larger, more valuable and better horse could never do hi work. With all his faults, the Texans love him ili; or, at least, they ovzht to, 3 1

Hi .a T1IK t OMt CLAlil. The Iieiirflrlnrlrn lnlt Hint It ! Just One, nnil Shonld Up AlIoved. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal; Now that the campaign is over will you please give space for a few corrections? The Indianapolis Journal, In Its effort to help defeat Judge Holman in the race for Congress, dragged the J. & O. P. Cobh barges claim into the fight to our detriment by tending to mold a wrong and unjust impression against us and him. The rlghtecupness and justness of the claim have never been questioned by the House or Serate, but. on the other hand, haa been recommended in .committee to both House and Senate as a claim that ought to te paid. The two houses concurred and did pay for the hay in the barges burned by the gunboat by order of General IJoyle, fcnd never refused; but th2 Senate simply "deferred" for the then present paying for those same barges which were carrying the ha to Memphis. (See Senate report. Jan. IS. 1865). This claim has been seeking n-dre.4 for many years. JuJge Holman, in pressing this claim for his constituency, was doing what the Representative of this district should have done for honorable, loyal and suffering applicants, inuring the campaign a great hubbub was made by th Indianapolis Journal and some other papers aoout tne Interest Judge liolmun's daughter-in-law had in tne claim. The fact was she did not have, and txas not, cue cent'a Worth of Interest in it. There are about fifteen or twenty heirs Interested, but as. O. P. Cobb died Insolvent the creditors are really the interested parties. John Cobb, now eighty-five years old. is bankrupt anil actually almost suffering tor the necessaries of life because the government has neglected to pay this just claim and other just claims for grain bought for the United States government during the war of tlv rebellion, now pending, and aggregating over $2O,00. The members of. thete firms were all intensely loyal during the war, at a great sacrifice, and it seems a burning shame that loyal citizens, twenty-nine yearn after the war has closed, should still be waiting for money due them, because they can hardly even get a hearing in Congress, much less a verdict. We were members of the firm of J. & U. I Cobb & Co., and are the only surviving members of the firm. We are both Republicans and always have been, and made as great Kacriflces In upholding the government during the late war as any other citizens of this country, and we f.?e I Justly Indignant, as every ' fairminded man will fee. that for a purely political purpose our just claim against th government has been embarrassed; for we assert without hesltttlon that no man wha Is familiar with the character of our claim against the United States for value of barges burned by order of General IJoyle has ever questioned, or ever will question, the absolute Justice of the ?laim. We respectfully request the publication of this statement for the reason that the criticisms made by your valuable piper In regard to the claim may unfavorably affect the action of Congress hereater when the claim is brought forward for consideration. 'v are both old men and In Impoverished clrcumttances, and ouRht not be made to suffer by a purely olitlcal controversy. JOHN' COBB, PETER W. WILLIAMS. Aurora, Ind., Dec. 5 In the articles referred to, in which Judge Holman was held up to public contempt .for his Insincerity In 'the treatment of claims coming before the House of Representatives, there was no Intention to attack the claim of J. & O. P. Cobb In any sense, while at the same time It was Impossible to show the unfair methods made use of by Mr. Holman without alluding to the claim, the point at issue being this: That Judge Holman had stood as an objector to almost every class -)( claims that had been presented In Congress since the war, fighting, with all the opposition possible for him to control, some of the most worthy claims that ever were presented. Jn order to show that he was inslrcere In h:s metho-1 of treating these virious claims from time to Mme the Journal attempted t bhow him as favoring the claim of J. Ac O. I Cobb at a time when he otherwise would have been objecting to he consideration of any claim. The reasons et forth. th article will show, namely, his worus, that tuvy were his clients, and further, that Rome of his kin folk were interested parties. Th Journal had no intention of Injuring the Claim Of J. & O. l Cobb for barges destroyed during the war. CJItor Journal. Pre po uteri uw Proposition. Chicago Tribune.
