GRIZZLY BILL.

"Thrilling?" said the major.

"Well,

so. It was the most excit

ing thing that ever occurred to me. Why, I can't even think of it now without shuddering a little. I was considerably younger in those days than I am now. At the time I was a telegraph operator and dispatcher for the Mountain Valley Railroad company in a western mining country. It was a wild and lawless country, and I was not much in love with my place, but being poor I was obliged to accept the conditions with the best possible grace. "Goldton, where I was located, was really nothing more than a railroad station. It was not on the main line of the Mountain Valley railroad, but on a spur which ran to the Ingot mines. Travel was not very extensive, in fact, but one train a day passed my lonely station. "On the fifteenth day of every month I received by express for the superintendent of the Ingot Mining company the money with which the miners were paid off. The amount averaged between $15,000 and $18,000. On the 14th of June in that year the superintendent of the mines came to me and said: 'Perkins, the pay money will be here tomorrow, as usual, but I want you to exercise more than ordinary vigilance in guarding it, as I understand Grizzly Bill is operating in the mountains again.' "Grizzly Bill was a name to inspire terror. The individual who bore that unmusical sobriquet was an outlaw of great daring and resolution. He stopped at nothing. It was therefore quite natural for mo to feel some little trepidation. I assured the superintendent, however, that I would do all in my power to guard the money, and I think," continued the major with some self satisfaction, "that I kept my word in this respect. "During the night which followed, a violent rainstorm swept through the mountains. Shortly before 10 o'clock the next morning I received word over the wire that the train from Pikeville could not get to Goldton' owing to a washout below Summit Rock. It was thought that the track could bo made passable by afternoon and that tho train would reach my station beforo 0 o'clock. I communicated these faots to the mine superintendent by means of an assistant who was always at the station during the day. "At 5 o'clock that evening I reoeived a message saying that it would bo impossible for the train to get throagh bofore 9 or 10 o'clock the next morning. I sent word to this effect to the mine superintendent, who, jn turn, communicated it to the men. Peeling rather tired I turned in early that night Sleep, however, was out of the question. "Tho baggage, freight, express and telegraph offices were all under one roof. One corner of tho big warehouse (it was hardly anything elso) was partitioned off so as to make a private inclosure. This box like oompartment I used for sleeping, eating and the transaction of the oompany's telegraphic and railroad busiucss. The sender and receiver were affixed to a table conveniently near my bed, and if necessary it was possible to transmit or take a message without even arising. Of course I never found it necessary to do this I simply mention it to illustrate the arrangement of tho office. "Along toward midnight the telegraph instrument began to click. I heard my call, opened the key and asked what was wanted. The operator at Pikeville wired back that the train which had been delayed on aocount of the washout had started for Goldton and would reneh there between 8 and 4 o'clock in the morning. At preeisely 3:45 o'clock the train steamed into Goldton. "The express messenger alighted and handed me a huge and many sealed package. It contained $1 ?, 500. 'Oh, that -isn't all,' said the messenger with a laugh. 'I have a box is the car that's as heavy as lead. We've been wondering all the way up the mountain what it contained.' "The box was lifted from the car and .aced on end in the freight department the station. It was fully 7 feet long and 4 wide—horribly suggestive of the rough box in which a coffin is inclosed. I thought of this after the train had resumed its journey. I put the pay money in the safe, turned the combination lock and retired. I fell into a dose, from which I was aroused with a start by what seemed to be the ticking of the sounder. It said as clear as if some cue had spoken: 'Beware! Danger threaten*. I sat up in bed The moon was sinning brightly through the window. I gaged intently at the sounder. It made not tiie slightest taction, yet the tuess&g& came again, this time «vc:i forr.\j,artliugly distinct than before Wht-*- cr«ld it ptsssibly mean? I theaght I vras dreaming at first, let the mrsjeri*as message was repeated forth* third time I came to a di&reut conclusion.

don't believe in spiritualism, yet 1 am at a loss now to ascribe that communication to aisy other wurce. "At any rate, upon hearing the third message my mind instaatfy temtttl to the huge box in the freight eer :sr. The jfoitiUomng of my little aTuueut did not extend a* higij as roof, hat merely to a distance of about five feet •bote the level of my bed, and ty standing on "the bed I ooold peer ovee

the top and see all parts of the interior of the station. I torn stealthily to an erect position and looked over the edge of the partition. The first thing I saw was the box, standing on end near a window in the extreme end of the station, and as I looked I saw its top slowly rise and a man's head protrude itself.

It was a thick, brutalized face, with grizzled whiskers. Instantly it flashed across my mind that it belonged to Grizzly Bill. "The sight sent my heart into my throat with a bound, for I realized only too well that the outlaw would stop at nothing to get the money which he knew was, in my possession. To him murder was child's play. But after the first emotion of fear I felt perfectly calm. In truth, I felt as though fate had thrown this desperado in my way so that I could conquer him. I don't know why I felt thus probably I experienced the same emotions that a soldier does who goes into battle with fear and trembling, yet who, when actually in the midst of danger, feels as cool and oollected as though he were out of reach of all possibility of harm. "I, got out of bed, picked up the coal shovel and scuttle and made as much noise as possible. As the night had been an unusually cool one afire was burning, and as I passed the stove I grabbed my revolver and thrust it into my right coat pocket Into my left pocket I thrust some nails and a hammer. Then, whistling as loudly as possible to mislead the desperado in the box, I left the little office and walked across the floor of the freight part of the station. When immediately in front of the box I sprang at it with the fury of a man fighting for his life and overturned it It fell to the floor, top up* with a resounding crash. Instantly I was astride the box driving nails into the lid as hard and fast as a man in terror for his life could da And all that while I was yelling at the imprisoned outlaw at the top of my voioe, telling him that if he so much as breathed I would instantly kill him. "But my threats did not appear to frighten him muoh. Prom the interior of the box came a volley of muffled oaths that would have astonished a Dig ger Indian. I never heard such horrible profanity. I fired my pistol twice in the air to let him know that I meant busi nesa Afte** awhile he became quiet carefully examined the box and found that there was no danger of suffocating, for at the upper end were a number of tiny perforations which freely admitted air. "I sat astride that box until my assist ant arrived at 7 o'clock. It was along and trying vigil, but the magnitude of my victory buoyed mo up. My assistant was almost too much amazed to speak when I told him of my capture. He quickly went to the mines and told the superintendent to hasten at once with a sufficient guard of men to the station and take Grizzly Bill into custody. It didn't take long to do this, and when Bill was hauled by no gentle hands from the box he was the angriest outlaw ever captured. He fought like tiger, but it was of no use. The men who had him captive knew how dangerous he was. He was securely bound and later in the day taken to Pikeville, where he was subsequently sentenced to along term of imprisonment in an eastern penitentiary. "That little adventure," ooncluded the major, "proved to be the turning point in my career. I was promoted to an important position in the city, where I prospered, as you see. I am today quite content with myself and the world in general Thus you see Griz-ily Bill's undoing was my making."—c5t Louis Globe-Democrat

The Saltan^ Private Hose am.

We entered a building consisting of one long room, filled with treasures. This is the sultan's private museum. Here are collected and beautifully arranged all tli¥ presents that he has received, as well as innumerable valuable objeots that belonged to some of his predeoe6sors. Countless clocks and watches, inlaid armor, objeots in jade, oaakets, wonderfully bound books, china of all sorts, pictures, miniatures, jeweled ornaments of every kind, all so arranged in their cases that one could examine and enjoy them, a delightful contrast to the confusion in which the treasures of the old seraglio are heaped together. One upright oase contained four doeen of the most perfect deep blue Sevres plates, a present from the Emperor Napoleon, sunk into velvet, 84 on each side of the stand. Each plate was a picked and perfect^ specimen. The right names were not always attached to the objects, and we found a miniature painting which we reoogni*ed as Lord Paimerston marked as the prince consort

We oould have spent hours in examining everything, hut time was limited, and we were taken on to the private stables, still within the harem walls, holding 12 of the most perfect Arabs, used by the sultan for ridftag and driving in the park of Yildis. They were all white or gray. Of coarse we saw no dogs anywhere—they are held at no repute in the east but I was told the sultan possesses a peculiarly fine breed of white Angora cats, to which

devoted, and whose progeny he sometimes gives to friends, but I saw none of them. The only pet we saw was a large cockatoo at the harem gate, who uttered some unknown sounds-—I suppose Turkish—«a? we passed.—Longman's Magazine.

MME. RENGIFO.

Charming Amertean ff"® ot the d»AiHtfree From Colombia.

Mme. Rengifo, wife of the charge d'affaires from Colombia, is one of the prettiest and most charming women in the diplomatic corps. Senor Rengifo was married a few months since to the

daughter of the' late James Barbour of Washington, one of the oldest and mo?* respected merchants of the capital. Mma Rengifo is very young, a blond, with sunny, golden hair, a beautiful complexion and luminous, large blue eyes. Senor Rengifo is a prominent man in his country and a general in the army. He also stands in the place of his minister, who is accredited to this government—Chicago Herald

Biding Habits.

White riding habits area novelty in Vienna, and very nice they must look, according to the description furnished by Vogue's correspondent Three of these, worn with white sailor haK were made of soft but thick pique, tne skirt extremely short and the jacket and waistooat strapped at the seams. The collar of the waistcoat was high and quite militr-y in shape and the sleeves hardly fulled at the shoulder. White gloves and white patent leather top boots gave the whole costume a charming fin ish. "Tiny clusters of small, fresh blossoms," the same authority adds, "are now placed in the bridle of the riding horses, beneath the ear, their color cor responding with that of the silken frontal. Another pretty innovation is the fashion of having a wee platinum watch inserted in the pommel of the ladies' saddles. This does away with t" annoyance of carrying a timekeeper in one's habit pocket or in one of those horrible leather, gold or silver bracel which are so top heavy and so inconven ient to wear."

The Tale Tonng Women,

Of tho eight young women who re ceived degrees at the Yale commencement a few weeks ago, only four had the courage to take part in the commencement procr^ on. The other quartet yielded to their fear of a little guying on the part of their brother seekers for diplomas. They need not have been alarmed The four brave virgins were treated with distinguished consideration, and along the line they were constantly applauded.

In lieu of the famous and traditional low Yale bow that all students make to President Dwight, the young women swept him a courtesy without removing their mortarboards, a concession permitted by the faculty on account of the difficulty of removing a masculine mortarboard from a feminine ooiffure.— New York Times.

Mrs. Toamus.

In the death of Mrs. Daniel D. Youmans in Norway recently New York society and woman's club world lose one of their brightest ornaments. Mrs. Youmans was the daughter of Hon. Charles L. Stickney and was a person of a broad and brilliant intellectuality and culture. She had received a superior education, had enjoyed the advantages of travel and the acquaintanceship of the leading scholars and thinkers of this country and of Europe. She was marked by wonderful activity and had long occupied a very high place in philanthropic, educational, literary and artistic circles. She was one of the pillars of the Chapin Home For the Aged, a leader in Sorosisand a prominent member of many charitable, reform and other organisations.—New York Mail and Express

JHJ Duaarti Still Xa Ami Many milliners will tell you, says a fashion writer, that the bonnet is a thing of the past, the hat having hustled it entirely out of fashion. This is a grave mistake. Some of the smartest women of the day are wearing flower bonnets. The foundation need not necessarily be floral, green straw being popular as a thing to build upon in millinery. Many of theae floral bonnets have a large erect bunch of orchids placed immediately in front, while another favorite bloom is the pink clover. Bases

TEBEE HAUTE 8ATURDAT EVENING HAIL, JULY 25, 1896.

Bicycle Gowns at a Lawn Fete. The Brooklyn Eagle, referring to a lawn fete in which the tea was poured by women who wore bicycle gowns, is astonished at this proof of the changes which the wheel has brought about. "Young women have usually put on the most dainty and fluffy gowns when they have poured tea for the delight and entanglement of men. Ribbons and ruffles set off against white necks and hands have wrought wonders in this world. But a bicycle gown is neither fluffy nor silken, and it does not contain any lace or any ribbons, and seldom is a ruffle seen upon it If it is appropriate to wear at an afternoon tea, then our old ideas are mistaken."

The point is not happily taken. We are not sure that even the girls delude themselves with the notion that it is the ribbons and ruffles that entice men to tea. Why, no it is just "the eternal feminine" that does it, and though she be clad in her bicycle gown '•one's girl is one's girl for a' that And the men. whatever she wears, still hold the teacups in their hands and quaff a world old nectar.—Detroit Free Press.

When Babies Are Xrritabl*.

Are the babies restless and cross and troublesome during this trying weather Try cooling baths and loose, oomfortable clothing, watching for signs of chafing and heat rash on the body and cooling and healing it with soothing powders. Mothers should remember that many people are disfigured and have to endure the consequent discomfort through life in consequenoe of having been allowed to suck their thumbs or fingers or a bag of sugar because of the quieting effect this occupation produces in restless infancy. It often results in overlapping or protruding jaws and crowded teeth. Better let the child fret or try other means of soothing, and if it insists upon forming this bad habit of putting its thumb in the mouth as soon as it goes to sleep have its nightdress made with out sleeves like a pillowcase i.nd simply fasten at tho neck rather than give it future troubla With a little care and patience on the part of the mother this objectionable habit may be cured before it is fairly formed. —Kansas City Times. —c~: -if

Climbers Have Conquered All ot the Alps.

Of oourse the mystery is gone from the Alps—none but climbers knows how completely. Every mountain and point of view of even third rate importar ee has been ascended, most by many route Almost every gap between two peaks has been traversed as a pass. The publi cations of some dozen mountaineering societies have recorded these countless expeditions in ro\vs of volumes of ap palling length. Oi late years vigorous attempts have been made to co-ordinate this mass of material in the form of climbers' guides, dealing with particu lar districts, wherein every peak and pass is dealt with in strict geographical succession and every different route and all the variations of each route are set forth, with references to the volumes in which they have been described at length by their discoverers. Nearly half the Alps has been treated in this mannetf'but the work has taken ten years, and of course the whole requires periodical revision.—Sir W. M. Conway in Scribner's.

Tireofcli

a great grievance with

Freckles are many a summer girl, especially the fair skinned, li/rht haired type. Summer freckles, though, are not as bad as those which last the year round, as they are the result of exposure to the sun and wind and may be somewhat avoided with care. The white skinned, auburn haired girl who suffers from this kind of freckles learns how to select oolors which will go far toward concealing the offect of sun and wind. Clear, neecy white is the best dress possible after a day's outing. A dry friction of the skin is a safe treatment as is frequent bathing with pure soap and water. Pomades are often reoommended, but these are pretty sure harden the dkin. Through the hot weather a toilet suggestion worth remembering is to tone up the skin and to excite cutaneous circulation by washing the face first with hot water and then washing it with cold to which a little toilet vinegar has been added.— Philadelphia Times. & r?

Plana Tea TMMaa.

The serving of tea on the suburban piazza i» so muoh an acoepted practice that the piazza tea tables comprise a furniture assortment of themselves. The folding tables, whose movable top, with handles, may be brass, polished wood or delft, is still most frequently offered, though the pretty circular willow ones are liked by many as both oonvedient and appropriate. A variation of the last, shown this season for the first time, is the Russian tea table of braided flag, with a willow border. This is provided with two convenient side shelves and has a shelf underneath for extra cups and saucers. It may be mentioned, too, that chocolate cups for the piazza "five o'clock" grow taller and taller. Some of them look like tankards. Teacups are wide and shallow and coffee cor9 narrow and high, though not to the chocolate height

Qualifications Needed For Consulship.

Anybody at all familiar with the duties of an American consul, anybody who knows what is expected of him by the department of state and what he is called upon to do by the public, will agree that he should neither be the product nor the victim of capricious political partisanship. He should be appointed upon his merits after careful examination and retained upon the same basis. There should be a career for the consul There should be reward for merit, and he should suffet for incompetency.

Primarily the consul should be a gentleman, meaning thereby an honorable and educated man, familiar with the amenities and graces of good society. The next and absolutely necessary requirement should be an intelligent knowledge of the language of the post to which he is assigned. He need not be a professor of German or French or Spanish or Italian, but he should be able to speak and write intelligently the language of the oountry to which he is commissioned.—Scribner's.

A Jemmy.

Perhaps some one can now inform us how the word "jemmy" came to be universally applied, as it is now, to a small crowbar. It is incorporated into the language and is no longer a thieves' expression. The earliest instance of its use with which I am acquainted occurs in "Neil Cook," in "The Ingoldsby Legends," published originally in Bentley's Misoellany, about 1842: They call tor crowbars—'"jemmies" is the modern name they bear. They burst throagh lock and bolt and bar, but what a sight is there! —Notes and QueruL*.
