The St..7 of Cunt. Charles King's heycntfal lif'j Ktore

become as familiar

a work of

romantic fiction than a plain statement |s every day facts. Capt. King's name ,as

as a household

.vord to readers of K'*rial and magazine literature the past few

years,

and he is

today one of the best known and most widely read authors in America. The demand for his stories is so great that no less than six novels are now being printed in as many magazines and syndicates besides several other important new works, and he has enough orders gihead to keep him busy every hour of jl.he day for the next two years.

Capt. King has been writing stories of love and war steadily for the past six or Mght years, and in that time he has .» nrned out an incredibly large number novels, and what is still more remarkable, they are all good ones. Capt. King is a soldier by instinct and profession, a born ruler of men, but the receipt of a savage bullet and the appearance of one or two military stories from his pen combined to force him, somewhat reluctantly ly, into the field of literature. The demand for his stories gradually became so great that he has been compelled to abandon everything else and become a professional novelist.

Capt. Charles King is a resident* of Milwaukee. He lives in a. pretty little home on Prospect avenue, surrounded by his happy little family—a wife and several children. He is 40 years of*age, but appears much younger. He is small of stature, light and graceful, a blonde, with blue eyes and a handsome, intelliIb.gent face. near sighted he constantly ,'l:isses. Excepting a mustaoho his face i:t clean shaven. Ho is foiud of society, dresses faultlessly, and I 'U^co a true military man is,erect and ^toified, keen of speech and quick at ^fceo.

.Or. KINO. AUTHOR OP "TWO SOLDIERS.

Capt. King first tried his prentice hmml at writing when a subaltern of artillery, just after tho war, but not with pecuniary success, if any other. He [found publishers, but no pay. In 1872, [while on reconstruction duty in the pROuth, he began "Kitty's Conquest," and Ttried several publishers with it. No one [•wanted it. and ho pitched the MSS. into trunk, and wont out to Arizona, to [join tho Fifth cavalry for the Apache campaign. For six years he and his regiment were in one Indian war afte» \nnother, and scouting all over the continent, 1 from the Missouri to tho Colorado. It •was while recovering from a severe •wound that he ln\gan sketches of Indian campaigning, and hoy led to demands for more.

The Lippincotts read his "Colonel's |, Daughter" as it was being published as Be rial in an army magazine that could hardly afford to jmy for the pnper it was printed

011.

They instantly offered to

publish it in book form and iay liiin royalty and to take anything else he had, including "Kitty." "The Colonel's Daughter" is selling

yet, and so is its sequel, "Marion's Faith," •while "The Deserter" and "From the Ranks," and his several later complete novels, have exceeded all the publishers' (^expectations, and astonished nobody more than the author himself. His largest work—and considered by professional critics hiif best —is "The Famous

Battles of the World," an 800 page voltune, published in Philadelphia, but ,he has written several short stories and sketches for Lippincotts, Harpers and others, am- for the neJTt year or two, I am told by the captain himself, he can accept

an til it is opened in the publisher's office. Everything he has written since 1882 and much that he wrote before has found its .market.

Capt. King was born in Albany, N.Y., Oct 12, 1S44, and comes of a family di*» ingnished in literature and politics. HI* father was for several years United States minister to Rome, and during tho war became brigadier general of volunteers. Hi* grandfather, Oharies King,

LL. D.. was once president of Columbia college, and his greatgrandfather. Gen. Eufus King, was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and twico minister to England. On his mother's side he is a dirsct descendant of John Eliot, tho Indian apostle, £11345 Rufus King went to Mil'.vculiec and became editor of Tho Sentinel, residing there continuously until Ids appointment to Rome. In 1858 Charles King was sent to Columbia colle \v?*«ro he remained nn*111861.

Within a rew hours

after Fort Sumter had been fired upon young King turned up' in the camp of the Wisconsin volunteers at Washington, with drum sticks in hand. At 16 years of age he caw his first soldiering in Virginia. He was guide for Gen. W. S. Hancock when he first crossed the Potomac at the head of his brigade. In 1802 King was appointed a cadet at West Point by President Lincoln, and he graduated No. 2,136, and number 22 in a class of 46. After graduating at West Point he was kept there for some time as military instructor—a high compliment to a subaltern officer.

From 1866 to 1869 Capt. King served in the regular army as a cavalry officer, stationed at New Orleans. Theniie was ordered to West Point as instructor in cavalry tactics. He was relieved from duty in 1871 to accept a staff position. From 1871 to 1874 he was confidential aid on the staff of Maj. Gen. W. H. Emory, with station at New Orleans. There was a romantic turn to Capt. King's life about this time. It will be remembered that there was a good deal of excitement over an international race of gentlemen riders on the old Metaire track, at New Orleans, in April, 1872. England, Ireland, France and Austria were represented, but there was no one to ride for the United States. At the last minute Capt. King entered the contest, and the race was a notable one. Distinguished people from all over the country were present. The flower and beauty of the south turned out and the grand stand at the Jockey club on that particular day was a scene of bewildering beauty and chivalry. The race was a magnificent one, and to the surprise and delight of every one King won it by two lengths.

After the huzzahs of congratulation had subsided the victor was presented with a gold whip, which he took across tho track and laid in the lap of a young lady who had accompanied Gen. and Mrs. Emory. She has the whip yet, and it is suspended from a ribbon over the parlor mantel in Capt. Kings cozy home. They were married a few months after tho stirring incident. After going through the reconstruction period in the south our hero asked to bo relieved from staff duty to join his troop, K, Fifth cavalry. In the Apache campaign in Arizona, in 1874, King saw brilliant service. Tho troop of which he was in command became conspicuous. Gen. Sherniau publicly stated that he considered their services "unequaled by those of any cavalry regiment." On Nov. 1, 1874, King was severely wounded at Sunset pass. He was then only saved from falling into tho hands of the bloodthirsty savages by the valorous devotion of one of his soldiers.

For months the intrepid commander was laid up -with a shattered saber arm. Almost before it was well he was in the saddle agnin and went through the terrible Big Horn and Yellowstone campaigns. His sendee was brilliant, his bravery matchless and his coolness, in the heat of many of the most terrible battles ever fought with the Indians, won him unstinted praise from his superiors. In 1878

King's wound, which had never healed, became so troublesome that he was forced to go before are tiling board. The next year he left the army that ho loved so well and became a shelved warrior—full of scars and glory, before he had reached one-half of man's three-score-and-ten ytfnrs. And thus it was that the soldier became an author. After his retirement he held several important- civil and military commissions, and became identified prominently with the national guard, in which ho is still very much interested.

In Capt. King's study, where he writes his stories, there is the veritable Navajo blanket in which his soldiers bundled or carried him down the mountain side after receiving his wound at Sunset. Pass. There, too,, can be seen the pictures in uniforms of many of the heroes of his stories. Shoulder straps, sword belts, forage cap and buckskin leggings are suspended from the walls. There area thousand and one other curious things picked up by the captain during his army life. On the wall is a fine portrait of Gen. Rufus King, and near by is the magnificent presentation sword owned by the soldier-writer's distinguished father. Altogether it is a home of refinement and taste. Capt. King and the lady who won the Metaire whip have three children, and there is a Charles King. Jr., who is a living picture of the father and a perfect soldier in miniature. G. H. Yenoxychb.

more offers, for all that he can

possibly write is bespoken. In answer to a question as to his method of work Capt. King said that there had been only three months a year until 1S87 that he could give to writing. The national guard is a thing in which he is deeply interested, and he has given it a great deal of time. When he does write it is generally for eeveral hoars at a stretch, from 8 or 0 in the morning until 1 or sometimes 2. He writes rapidly and yet hates to revise aad correct, but no one ever sees his work, good or bad,

MYSTERIOUS HIEROGLYPHICS.

Carved Characters on a Huge. Cliff of Limestone In Nevada.

In several places in this region, Lincoln county, Nev., and the adjoining country about Death Valley, CaL, are found traces of former occupation by some race of civilized people, probably the Spanish. In tho Kingston range of mountains, on the eastern face of Glarke mountain, near its summit, is a perpendicular cliff of limestone 250 feet in height and with a smooth surface. On the face of this cliff, at a height of 100 feet from its base, are engraved the following characters, "f IL D." The cross and letters are of mammoth proportions, being not less than sixty feet in height. They are cut into the solid rock to a depth of two feet, and are plainly to be seen at a great distance by persons passing through the valley below, toward which the cliff and mountain face.

No one in the country knows how, when or by whom the letters were cut. The Indians living in the vidinity have no tradition in regard to the inscription. As the inscription is in Roman letters and is preceded by a cross, it is supposed that the work was done by Jesuit missionaries, "who are known to have established mis^onSi ffarthe^|jputh/in( Arizona.

In order to carve the huge letters either a scaffold 100t1 feet in height, must hive been erected or tho workmen must hive been lowered over the face of .the cliff, a distance of 150 feet The object of a, work SQ difficult that has any adequate object is not readily apparent. The giant letters could only have served as a landmark or a sort of beacon. It may have been intended as a monument showing the farthest point northward to which the soldiers of the cross had pushed their way, for they could not go up the great canyon.

Near an antimony mine, three miles from Rose Springs, many other hieroglyphics are carved on the rocks. It is a sort of picture writing, and is popularly supposed to have been the work of Aztecs or Toltccs. It is certain that the writing was "not done by the present race of Indians of the Great Basin country. Similar hieroglyphics are found near- Candelaria also in Humboldt county, on Star canyon, near the Sheba urine on the Carson river, below Ragtown. and in many other localities.

The writing on the Carson river is on about forty different bowlders of solid granite, The characters are on the sides of the bowlders that face the east. They are cut into the smooth, hard rock to a depth of from an eighth to half an inch. All the picture writing in Nevada was evidently by the same people, as the same characters are everywhere seen, though differently combined. The figures of the men, animals and other living things are conventional, often merely hinted at, as by tracks.—Nevada Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.

The IndiansTof this region show ovidences of having at some time been subjected to the influences of civilization. They live in villages, irrigate and cultivate the soil, growing good crops of grain and many kinds of vegetables. In Clarke district, at no great distance from the cliff on which are the monster letters, there was found in a vein of gold bearing quartz a shaft of great depth. It was filled to within fif-ty-four feet of the surface with debris. Pieces of quartz left clinging to the sides of the shaft showed particles of free gold. No tools of any kind were found nor were there seen any remains of furnaces.

Feather* Always the Proper Thing1,'

It always delights the female heart when feathers are in vogue. This tear son they are used on all garments, from the tea gown to the outside wrap and hat. This fondness for feathers is not to be wondered at, for they are always becoming. A pretty girl in a large hat with black ostrich feathers is twice as fascinating as with any other style of hat, and a trimming of feathers about the neck of an older woman softens all the lines of the face. Mrs. Stanley affects large hats asd Exchange.

The Drit: Spot in Onr Government.

Withonl the slightest exaggeration we may assert that, with very few exceptions, the city governments of the United States are the worst in Christendom—the most expensive, the most inefficient and the most corrupt.

Among our greater municipalities we naturally look first at New York and Philadelphia. Both are admirably sitaated -each stands rising ground with water on both sides each is happy in position, in climate, in all the advantages to be desired by a great metropolis. In each what is done by individuals is generally well and sometimes splendidly done, and in each what is done by the corporate authorities in matters the most essential to a proper city government is either wretchedly done or left utterly undone.

Everywhere are wretched wharves, foul docks, inadequate streets and inefficient systems of sewerage, paving and lighting. Pavements which were fairly good at the beginning have been taken up and replaced with utter carelessness, and have been prematurely worn out ox ruined. Obstacles of all sorts are allowed tangled networks of wires frequently exist in such masses overhead as to prevent access to buildings in case of fire and almost to cat off the rays of the sun. Here and there corporations or private persons have been allowed to use the streets in such a manner as to ruin them for the general public. In wet weather many of the most important thoroughfares are covered with reeking mud in dry weather this mud, reduced to an impalpable dust containing the germs of almost every disease, is blown into the houses and into the nostrils of the citizens, r-Andrew D. "White in Forum.

Electricity In Mining.

E. F. Browne, speaking of electricity in mining, says that miners were quickly alive to the advantages offered by the telephone. Most mines are, to a certain extent, in difficult positions on precipitous mountains. The telephone enabled the manager to be in close communication with his mine at all hours, both night and day. When difficult ground or heavy flows of water were encountered, arrangements could be made to control the situation at once, without the loss of hours in communicating the necessity. The electric bell and annunciator now tell the story of what is wanted and what is' going on below in deep shafts or inclines. The touch of the button tells the top men and engineers if ore waste, tools or men are coming up, and what level they are coming from. 1 Mjji-ni a to |Another signal tells if timber, wedges, tools or the foreman are required below. Formerly, when a bell /ope from 500 to 1,000""feet in length was used, it was so heavily counterweighted or held by such a counter spring that it took an ablebodied man with a six foot run to sound the gong above. Wants were only known by tickets attached to the bucket or slip, or after flie toilsome climbing of messengers to the surface. Now the tool "nippers" and'the "powder monkey" are the only traveling men in the ground below. The remainder of ^he shift stays at the level until relieved. When the fact that theTiuman voice cannot be heard over 100 feet under ground is considered, the advantages of electric communication for mining purposes become manifest.— New York Commercial Advertiser.

The Bad Lands.

fi1'

The Bad Lands of Dakota are composed of a white clay, which, by the action of rains, has been cut into hillocks. They are not high, seldom more than forty or fifty feet liut it is up one and down another the whole way. You cannot follow the water courses, for there are none a gully, forty feet deep, with a foot and a half of mud at the bottom, is the nearest approach to a watercourse in the whole region. At every few yards you must stop and, with spade and shovel, cut a path down the side of a hill in order to descend, and then up the side of the one opposite in order to get up again.

The mud is as sticky as tar, and in going a few yards the wheels of a wagon become solid round cakes, and all the mules that yon can hitch to it will not be able to pull it a foot further. Then the spades are brought and the wheels cleared, the operation being repeated two or three times in a hundred yards. The extent of the Bad Lands in Dakota is probably a hundred miles from north to south by fifteen to thirty miles wide and if the Indians find a better stronghold in this country the plainsmen would like to hear of it.—Interview in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

An Old Lady's Little Oddity.*1'

"Yes, a good many odd characters come in herein the course of twenty-four hours," said one of those bank marshals who wheel the bewildered into line and keep the stream of humanity moving before the little wired windows of th^ tellers. "One day a quaint little lady came in and in a gently nervous way told me she wanted to deposit $1,000. I showed her what to do. and turned to leave her. Then she began to go through the little reticule that hung on her arm. I watched her for a moment as she carefully took out her various articles. But she evidently hadn't found what she was after, for a second later she closed the sachei with a sharp snap, walked over to me and started in on a long apology that in her hurry she bad left the ft,000 at home by mistake. Then she went out. I didn't pay much attention to her, and had forgotten her, when about a month afterward she came in again and w«nt through the same performance and," added the official with a lrugh, "die's been keeping it up at regular periods for years."—New York Times. -£X1
