SHOWS ACTUAL WAR

III HIS WILD WEST Buffalo Bill Has Realism, Says Major Burke, Genial Advance Man SCENES FROM SCOUT LIFE. COL. CODY'S LONG-TIME FRIEND DECLARES BATTLE ACTION IS BASED ON AN HISTORIC STRUGGLE. To produce actual battle semes, an far as the ingenuity of the up-to-date expert can, is the moving principle of "'HufYalo Hill" in 'presenting his spectacle of the Wild West, according to Major John M. Burke, who has teen associated with Col. Cody for many years and who was in Richmond the past week. "These realistic scenes have been taken from hair-raising experiences In the veteran plainsman's early life,' when the plains were virgin and hostile bands of Indians roamed at will," Maj. Burke told an inquirer recently who had witnessed a performance in Madison Square Garden, New York, in reply to the question: "Major, is this battle scene that you have been representing a real battle scene that has occurred. ':r an imaginary, one used to illustrate the conditions about that time?" "My dear sir," replied Maj. Burke, "the whole intention, construction and object of Buffalo Bill's Wild West is to reproduce, a3 far as possible, the episodes that have actually occurred in the career of Buffalo Bill himself. I For Instance, the pony express; XIe was the most celebrated rider in days when that was possibly the most dangerous mission on earth." Wagon Train Attack Realistic. "When attacking the wagon is shown, a historical fact is presented, and with it the fact that Col. Cody was a very celebrated wagon master, lie was a driver of stage coaches in the far West when it was a dangerous occupation, and as a scout it was his duty to protect the stage coach line and rescue the coaches from Pennsylvania LINES SUNDAY EXCURSION To Cincinnati, $1.25 Round Trip From Richmond.

danger. In his early days he was one of the most famous riders of bucking horses, and was also expert as a lassoer. "Of course, he cannot do all these things twice a day, consequently men from the West are engaged to enact them. For the shooting on horseback, ne sun is enecuve ana aoe3 ic nimself, as it was an act in which he excelled. In early days it was important that a man should be an accurate shot, even when riding at speed. Proficiency in this line is what made scouts superior to the ordinary shooter, who either had to stop and dismount, or was inaccurate, on horseback. "The battle of Summit Springs, as it is represented, was an actual occurrence and took place on July 11, 1S69. At the recent engagement in New York the opening was honored by the presence of Maj. Gen. K. A. Carr, retired, now of Washington, who was in command on the occasion, and whom Buffalo Bill guided in many hundreds of miles of trailing, seeking to find and punish this marauding band of Indians under Chief Tall Bull. Won Victory Over Indians. "In this they succeeded, and the victory was claimed to be of such im portance that Colorado, Nebraska and f Kansas gave Gen. Carr a vote of thanks, n. these engagements, Buffalo Bill achieved fame by killing the notr ed chief. Tall Bull. Singular to relate, Maj. Gen. Carr, Maj. Gen. Sumner, General Greely and Brig. Gen. Hayes who were in the Summit Springs fight, also were present in the Bennett Creek battle in 1876, when Cody, in front of the army, and the hostile Indians accepted a challenge to a personal encounter.

Burke produced some old telegrams to the press, one being as follows: '"St. Louis, July 14, 1869. A dispatch from Omaha gives reports from Gen. 12. A. Carr, of his operations against the Indians. On the 11th instant, he surprised a village of 'dog soldiers' and Cheyennes, under command of Tall Bull, and killed fiftytwo of them and captured seventeen women and children, among them the wife and daughter of Tall Bull. The Indians had two white women who had been taken on the Saline River, and they had murdered one whose first name is said to be Susanna. Chief Tall Bull was killed by Buffalo A Curious Toast. "And now," said the clergyman, holding his grlass of water high in air with a bacchanalian gesture, "and now I will propose a t plendid toast." He paused. Then he said earnestly: "Rusty swords and dirty Bibles'." The guests looked at one another. Was the teast not irreverent?

"The Hoosier Girl" Gennett. The announcement is made of the engagement of Miss Kate Watson in "The Hoosier Girl" at the Gennett, matinee and night, Saturday, Aug. 31. This is Miss "Watson's fifth season in the character of the shy and awkward country girl of Posey County, Indiana, which she has made one of the most famous characterizations appearing at the popular priced houses. "The Hoosier Girl" is one of the few plays the public never seems to tire of. The popularity of the play speaks volumes for the art of Miss Watson and the fidelity with which she portrays a most complete character, one which is made up of delicately shaded pathos, delicious wit and humor and marvelously deep philosophy. There is a naturalness about the character which appeals to the heart and which makes it one of the most lovable on the stage. Miss Watson is surrounded by a company of artists, each one of whom is said to have been chosen particularly for the character portrayed, and the whole play is represented as being marvelously true to nature. There is nothing false or superficial about it or the story it tells. Its theme is honesty and a strict adherence to the homely principles which obtain in the country. Miss Watson shows so well the manysides to the character of Roxiana that it seems as if the story being told be hind the footlights were real and that the funny little girl, who dresses in gingham pinafores and wears her hair in pigtails, is really experiencing all the pleasures of her enjoyment and all the pangs of her sorrows. LIVkiu UY MUSIC. Advantage of Ceing Able to Play at Lczst Two lr.srur.ients. A member of a musical organization who takes special pride in his skill as a tuba player is also an accomplished violinist. "Every practical musician," he says, "who expects to n-.r.ke his living al the business or.g'it to plaj- at least twe instruments one brass and the othei string. It often happens that a man playing two instruments can secure an engnc-eniint where he who plays but one would le left unemployed during part of the time. Traveling com panies who take thir musicians alone often Insist on their doubling up thai is, playing brass in a street parade 01 in front of the tbeater and a string instrument in the orchestra. In the good old summer time the demand is foi bra5o. In the winter strings are in request, so at tbe change of season mnny cornet an 1 lirn players put away theii brass instruments, take up their fiddles and their bows and phiy at balls and dances all the winter long. "Besides this, tbere is another thins to be considered. Every cornet and horn player must look forward to the time when his lip gives out. After years of born playiug the overtaxed muscles of the lips become relaxed. They are strained from the constant demands made trpon them by holding them in a certain position. Sometimes a player retains his embouchure foi life, sometimes it gives out suddenly, sometimes there is a gradual deterioration in strength of rmisele and he finds himself playing worse than he did before and is compelled to realize the fact that hi3 lip is giving way. The infirmity is a kind of paralysis of the lip, somewhat resembling the scrivener's cramp, which attacks the fingers of the bookkeeper. The lips remain otherwise in good, order." Cleveland riain Dealer. SOME NEW YORK FIRSTS. Christmas day first became a legal holiday in 1G54. The first law proclaimed in New York related to the Sabbath (1647). The first surveyor was (1642) Andries Hudde. He received a salary of fSO a year ($100). The first official interpreter was George Baxter, appointed in 1G42 at a salary of 230 guilders per annum. The first court of justice was established in 1647, presided over by Judge Van Dincklagen, the first judge in New York. The first lot of ground sold was to Anthony Von Fees in 1G42. It was 30 feet front by 110 feet deep and was sold for $9. GO. It waslocated where Bridge street now is. The first public house was built in 1642 at the company's expense. It was a clumsy looking tavern, located at the northeast corner of Tearl street and Coenties slip. New York Herald. An Alarm Clock For a Cent. "I've got the bet alarm clock in the business, and Uncle Sam provides it for me," said a We6t Philadelphia busi ness man of irreular hours yesterday. "Two or three days of each week I have to rise early. Our postman always rings our 3o-rLli good and hard when he leaves any mail. He comes along regularly, as clockwork at 8 a. m., but does not always leave mail for me. and eonseqnently the doorbell does not always ring. When I want to get up I just buy a past card in the afternoon'. and mail it to my.4f. It has never failed to arrive in the eariy mail, accompanied, of course, by the ringing of the bell by the postman. Talk about a cheap system. I can make the most important kind of an appointment for the morning and nil it by the extra expenditure of a single penny." Thiladelphia Record. The alligator skin industry was launched In Ecuador in lUY.i by an American. In 1005 the exports were 223.405 pounds, but in 1CKW only 57,045 pounds were exported.

CUT THEM ALL OUT

The Enemies One Is Likely to Mset In His Vocabulary. "In the dictionary of fools we find 'I can't very often, plenty of ifs and lots of words like luck and 'destiny' and phrases like 'If I only had time or a chance like other people T " Did you ever think that many of the words and phrases which you constantly use are jour real enemies, that they leave their hideous pictures and bluck shadows in your mind? How many times have you been kept from doing a good deed by such phrases as "Oh, I can't do that," "I am afraid that that will not turn out well," "Oh, I know I can't do that," "Somebody else can do that a great deal better," "I am afraid to try." "I haven't the courage," "I fear I shall take cold or catch some disease if I do this or that?" I believe tbat those two words, "1 can't," have ruined more prospects and have kept more ability doing the work of mediocrity than any otber two words in our language. "I am afraid of this or that" is a terrible hiuderer, a terrible blighter of ambition, a cooler of enthusiasm. All achievement and all efficiency depend upon Initiative, and that is easily killed by the fear words, the words which express doubt and uncertainty. "By thy words thou shalt -be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." Success. VALUE OF WALKING. Benefits to Be Derived From This Form of Exercise. There is hardly an instance of a long lived man who has not been for the best part of his life a brisk walker and for some reason or other has had to take exercise pretty well every day. Hiding ia all very well and so are other exercises, but there is nothing like a good walk, because it stimulates the Mood and the muscle and necessitates being in the open air. If those who complain of leing stout would only think of this and never omit a daily constitutional they would be amply rewarded. It will keep them young and their figures presentable. It is simply a remedy that no one heeds to. Sitting about in the open air Is all very well and Is far better than pitting in the house, but it does not keep jou in good health. It is quite another thing to overfatifcue oneself. There is nothing letter than to get Into a healthy perspiration by walking. It is just like drinking a glass of cold water in the morning. It is so simple no one believes In It This may not suit everybody, but those it does suit it will keep in health. nttsburg Tress. Help the Editor. An Oklahoma editor puts forth this plea: "My friend, help the editor In his wide eyed search for news. When your friends come to you. If you are not ashamed of it, tell him; when your wife gives a tea party, if you will have recovered from the effects of the gossip, drop In with the news; when a baby arrives fill your pockets with cigars and call; if you go to a party, steal some of the good things and leave 'em with tlie item in our sanctum. If your wife licks you, come In and let us see your scars and tender sympathy through the paper. If your mother-in-law has died, don't be bashful about it; give in all the commonplace news. In short, whatever makes you feel proud, sad, lonesome or glad submit it to our twenty-four carat wisdom and see our matted lock part and stand up on end with gratitude, which will pour from every pore with moisture from a dew besprinkled earth." To peka State-Journal. The Bird Got Wise). A gentleman by way of a Joke placed a golf ball In the "nest of his ancient parrot. Polly sat with exemplary patience on her novel egg and appeared pretty nearly heartbroken when the weeks went by and she found herself unrewarded. At last she could stand it no longer. A terrible screeching brought her owner downstairs at 4 o'clock in the morning. "What's the matter, Tolly?" he asked as he noticed that the bird s beak was chipped through trying to get at the interior. "Matterr screetched Tolly. "Great Scott. I'm bunkered!" London Telegraph. v Pedestrian Rights. Only in Great Britain, so far as I know, does the law hold that a foot passenger has an equal right to the highway with the wheeled traffic and that it is the duty of the driver of the latter to avoid at all costs the former, even If he has to do so at considerable inconvenience and often danger. In other countries, on the contrary, it Is the duty of the pedestrian to give way to the wheeled traffic. Atlanta Constitution.
