The war department just now is in the midst of a disc::ussion as to the proper dis p'sal of the Apache lndia:s, whose cap ture has co;.t the Government so much bhod and treaasure. There are a class of military pundits who imagine that the hunt for these murderers and thieves has been warfare and that the Indians are en titled to bheliicrent rights. When a scure or two of Indians, who have been living on a reservation, fed and cared for by the G.iverment, stealthily leave there :rd engage in a raid throughout a wide extent of country, not seeking troops to fight, but robbing .and murdering leacea bl) working people, men, women and ch'ildren i=_ their homes; obscenely and i'.fndi-hlyv torturing and mutilating men ,vishilng women---is that "war" any more i h:m piracy? And when these miscreants, incarnations ol( cruelty and brutish lust, are pursued, m:.nd after long pursuit, either caught or cc-lpelh ( d to give themselves up because they are out of ammunition, out of food and so surrounded that escape and further deviltry is impossible-is that "capitula tion" of a hostile force engaged in legiti mate warfare? Are they "prisoners of war,? They are simply felons, murder ers, assassins, ravitshers, brigands, pirates, caught red handed by a pursuing force, v military posse, ministers of outraged justice. A Poser for Papa. John W. Elliott is one of the clerks at tached to the staff of the House. He ha been in the employment of the house fo nearly a year. He was formerly the hut band of Cornelius Vanderbilt's seconi wife. Elliott married her in MobilE They separated three days afterward They split on the question of the mothem in-law. It is said that Mrs. Elliott di not want to leave her mother, and, as he husband had to go North, he gave her the choice of staying at home with her mother or going with him. She stayed with her mother and a legal separation followed soon after. Mr. Elliott married i 'again, and by his :ec)ad wife had several 11 children. His fr-t wife ýmInrr1ctd Com Iimodore Vanderbilt a few years before he died. Mr. Elliott went to Texas and be caune the editor of the Dallas Herald. lie so)ld out about a year ago to the G(;Id ve-t:,i News syndicate. An odd incident in his life occurred one day when one of his boys was talkiang to his father, saying; "HIow I wish we were rich." This was a few years ago, when Mrs. ('orolius Van doerlilt was living and a widow. Thile stc nld ars. Elliott at the time had beren dead several years.

The e: itnegro immediatety grabbed the panther in cu his arms an!d gave him an old-fashioned t hear hul_, not forgetting at the same time f to yell for his life. The panther evident e ly became more freightened than the negro, changed his tactics and tried to escape, but the negro was too much for him, ashe held a him until Conductor Calliwell could get i his gun and come to his assistance, when r Calliwell shot the panther in the nmegro's E e arms.
