What a blessed thing it Is to be tree from
pain, after protracted suffering! The first night of
sleep after the pain is over is as the visit of augelM.
The first day of freedom from suffering sets the re
lieved man on foot in a new atmosphere of rejoicing.
Philosophers have said that pain Is a blessing.
But if so, it is one of the blessings that we are all the
time wanting to be rid of. And when we are rid of
X. we hardly know how to express our delight.
Some of the worst pains known to suffering

will cure you. Atillophoros is a new rem
edy, but it has been so well tried that there is
no risk about it. It has cured old and chronic
cases which the doctors had failed to relieve.
Whether your Rheumatism and Neuralgia are
of recent date or of long standing. Atrloprobim
will cure them. You may doubt this because you have
tried a great many other things that have failed, but
your experiment will prove its truth.
If you cannot get Athlophoroh of your druggist,
we will send It express iwid, on receipt of regular
price—one dollar per bottle. We prefer that yon buy
It from your druggist, but if he hasn’t It, A> not be
persuaded to try something else, but order at once
from us as directed.

I laid down my pen and whispered
gouti-night to your readers, and now I
take it up again to tell you further
concerning my trip to the west. I
want to remark right here that there
is no iirst-class agricultural country
between central Kansas and Pasadena.
Of course, there are belts and regions
in which a mighty measure of the
choicest fruits of earth are giown, but
when you enter western Kansas and
view the sand ridges and dry plains,
and visions of a land that is fairer for
produce dance before your vision you
can rest assured that you are facing
the east. Between some of the mount
ain ranges of Colorado and Arizona
there are pleasant valleys, or basins,
some of them 25 or 40 miles wide,
that are a paradise for cattle kings and
and their immense herds, but you
never see any corn or other grain ex
cepting in very small patches about
Indian or Mexican huts, whose inmates,
delight notin muscular exercise. They
toil not neither do they spin, and the
skunks of the valley are arrayed in
more cleanly garments than they. VVe
did
NOT SEE MANY INDIANS
until the second day out from Kansas
City, but after passing Albuquerque,
near the union of the A. T. & S. F. and
the A. &P. Railroads, they are num
erous and lousy enough to make the
contemplative soul of the average
missionary or government agent re
joice in prospective fatness. The first
naif of our second day in the mount
ains our train made such slow pro
gress that but for the fine surround
ings time would have dragged heavily.
It was a continuous heavy grade until
we reached the summit, and our two
heavy engines labored constantly.
About noon we reached and crossed
the great continental divide, six miles
east of Coolidge, whither we went at
the rate of nearly a mile a minute; had
a good dinner, dispensed with one of
our engines and continued our flight
down the incline towards the sea. At
times we dashed along at such a tear
ful rate that some of the more timid
wished for slower time. Coolidge is
quite a small place. After the depot,
hotel and post office the most of the re
mainder are saloons. We mailed some
letters here and observed that the post
master had two revolvers and two
knives within reach to guard his person
and property. Thoseof the citizens who
cared to exert themselves sufficiently to
reach the depot carried the regular ar
mament of pistols and knives. A few
miles north of this place is the Navajo
Indian Reservation. They are less en
terprising than the Pueblos on the east
ern slope, who climbed upon our train
at every station, to sell grapes, peaches,
etc. of their own raising. The Navajos
are small, and paint their faces in such
a manner as to make them look like
demons, but they seem to give the gov
ernment little trouble. The Pueblos
are self sustaining, but these receive
regular annuities. They have thous
ands of sheep and goats, while the
Pueblos have fine herds of cattle and
hosses. Fort Wingate is in sight of the
road a few miles west of Coolidge and
the soldiers’ tents look quite neat and
clean. Fort Defiance is further north
and not within our range of vision.
All these mountain streams are broad
and shallow. I mean those which now
have water running in their beds.
THE RIO GRANDE
is a mere waste of sand islands where
we crossed it near Albuqurque. Full
90 per cent of the stream beds we cross
are as dry as a powder house, but when
the windows of heaven are opened and
the rains descend, are filled with tor
rents rapidly rushing to the sea. Near
Winslow we cross a branch of the Colo
rado river which much resembles the
Rio Grande, except that it is smaller.
Here we took supper and as we were
two hours ahead of time we received
orders to leave on time. This gave us
an opportunity to view the place, which
is not unlike most other Arizona or
N.ew Mexico towns. The saloon inter
est is the largest, and however small
and mean a man’s residence may be his
saloon building is generally among the
most likely looking places in town.
This is a division of the road, and while
we met only genteel and courteous rail
road men everywhere,
THE CREW THAT TOOK US SAFELY
from Winslow to Williams were par
ticulary accommodating, at one place
stopping the train 20 minutes to give
all a chance to view a famous canyon
spanned by a bridge 600 feet in length,
and 280 feet high. It was a grand sight,
and to be greatly enjoyed and never
forgotten. These towering peaks, rag
ged cliff sand yawning chasms are awe
inspiring. This seeing to have been
nature’s play ground, and the old dame
must have held a full hand, and amused
the gods with a reckless extravagance
not often imitated. Between Winslow
and Williams there are some fine pine
forests, the only thing of value between
Trinidad, Colorado, and Mojave, Cali
fornia.
THE MORMONS
have possession here, and are running
things to suit themselves. Many
portions of this mountainous country
plainly exhibit volcanic action in vast
piles of burned rock and lava belts, but
it is more noticeable between Williams
and l’each Springs. At one point there
exists a vast ridge of cinders. The
railroad is ballasted with it for scores
of miles, and without close examination
it would be taken for coal cinders. In
fact it is hardest rock reduced to this
condition by flies in the depths of the
earth, and deposited here by volcanic
force. J ust beyond thU place our road
makes a double horse shoe bend of sev
eral miles in extent, in order to make
a passable grade in climbing an ex
tensive mountain ridge just beyond us.
I have often looked with admiration
upon the famous horse-shoe bend on
the Pennsylvania Central in the
mountains near Altoona, but this at
least
FIVE TIMES AS EXTENSIVE
in range though the gorges and hills
are not more sublime in their beauty.
Not far from here we passed a cabin
in the mountains and witnessed that
which made every heart feel glad—the
stars and stripes streaming in the
wind, a thing of beauty, a joy forever,
and both feared and respected the wide
world over. Though my eyes had
feasted for days upon the grand and
beautiful in nature, still I felt at be
holding the flag of my country in this
wild and desolate region, a heart throb
of inexpressible satisfaction. As we
whirled by it I was standing on the car
platform and involuntarily lffted my
cap. The next moment we were leaving
it oehind, but felt perfect confidence in
leaving it alone in its glory, among the
rocks and pines of that sky-land, for
well i know that millions of hearts
would bleed rather than that it should
perish.
TEACH SPRINGS
was our last eating point east of the
California line, why ft should bear the
name it does is a profound mystery to
me. Less than a dozen houses sur
rounded by oceans of sand, with noth
ing more inviting than sage brush and
scrub cedar may be well calculated to
make the weary and thirsty traveller
think of delicious springs, but they
will likely be located 2,000 miles from
this point. We took dinner here and
were soon on our way to The Needles
where we cross the Colorado river into
California. Though we bad been riding
for days through a country that was
barren of everything like luxuriant
vegetation, we were soon convinced
that the latter end of our journey was
to be likened unto the pilgrimage of a
Greenbacker,—“worse and worser” the
farther he goes. Thouah it had been
very warm through all this desolate
region it now grew hotter until every
breath of air was stifling. As we
plunged /orward through measureless
fields of sand, and following the detour
of the big hills, the breath of a
DUST AND SAND LADEN SIMOON
came upon us with such melting
weight and force as to be almost un
bearable. One of our company, Mr.
Chandler, of Columbus, Ohio, was
S rostrated with sunstroke, and Mrs.
oeeph (ieesener, of DeOraff, Ohio,
fainted from the intensity of the heat,
which we learned on arriving at The
Needles was 114 in the shade.
THE SAOE ItRUBH
was no longer visible, but millions of
acres of sand seemed to produce noth
ing but cactus, of which there was
quite a variety, and some of such enor
mous proportions as to render it dif
ficult for those who read this letter to
believe the statement that many of
them stood higher than the telegraph
poles, and were as large as an ordinary
sized man’s body. Strange as this may
seem to those who have never wit
nessed what lam describing yet it is
strictly and positively true. Their
general height is
ABOUT TEN OR TWELVE FEET,
and they are thickly studded with
thorns about three or four inches in
length. Another variety grows in
bunches and stand up like scores of
clustering cat tails and reach a height
of about two l'eet. Still another vari
ety grows ten feet high, Is not more
than an inch thick, exists in bunches
and is ornamented with short leaves
along the stalk which has no branches.
One of the most interesting sights of
this afternoon’s ride was the sand
whirls that moved across the plain,
veritable cyclones in miniature. Some
times the sand columns reached
hundreds of feet into the air then
spreading out like a funnel would de
ccnd to the surface without the circle
of whirling waste. I have been disap
pointed in
NOT SEEING MORE GAME
along this long route. Not a prairie
chicken, wild goose or duck, not even
a partridge has put in an appearai.ee
to cheer us. Prairie dojrs, millions of
them, have lined the way from west
ern Kansas to the Mojave desert, and I
also saw a few jack rabbits and cayotes,
nothing more. All hands were de
lighted when at last we reached
THE COLORADO RIVER.
In the sweet moonlight the sight of
water was a luxury indeed. At about
seven o’clock we crossed the bridge
which is 1,600 feet in length a wooden
draw structure. The river is navigable
to some distance above here, for light
craft, is as broad as the Mississippi,
but shallow and abounds with treach
erous sand shoals. The Needles is the
name applied to several mountain
pe. ks that lift themselves high in air
along the eastern shore, and is also
the name of the town on the
west shore, a place of about 400
souls exclusive of Indians. Here
begins the Mojave desert and it
stretches away to the Pacific coast
range of mountains. Many of these
Mojave Indians wear next to no cloth
ing, use an abundance of paint, and
look more repulsive than brutes. One
young couple attracted considerable
attention by their loving devotion to
each other. It was a case of bride and
groom enjoying the honey-moon season.
As they leaned against »post and look
ed longingly at the hotel tables spread
with an abundance of good things they
smacked their chops and looked love
at each other like white folks. Evi
dently they knew that it was warm
weather and dressed accordingly, wear
ing only a slight covering
ABOUT THE CENTER OF GRAVITY.
It was after nine in the evening when
we left The Needles, and the mercury
then stood at 98. We were unable to
sleep much, but managed to keep in our
quarters until daylight. It was then
that I saw what tilled my idea of a des
ert—a dreary waste of sand, and noth
ing but sand; absolutely as devoid of
vegetation as is the roof of a barn, and
the wind howled like a hurricane.
About 11 o’clock we reached Mojave on
the Southern Pacific railroad, and were
compelled to wait until seven in the
evening before we could get a train for
Los Angeles. We appreciated the op
portunity to clean up, and soon went to
work in living earnest and before night
our crew again presented a respect
able appearance, and the lone barber
who charged “two bits”—a quarter for
a shave
WAS RICH ENOUGH
to get gloriously drunk. This town is
very small, mostly saloons in point of
business interest, and is located on a
sand level over which the wind blew a
terrific gale. Finally we started for
Los Angeles and arrived there at four
o’clock iu the morning, and it did not
take me long to get out and look upon
the only place in 1,500 miles that seemed
like a white man’s home. The air was
as balmy as in spring, and the birds
seemed as happy as in God’s country.
After breakfast we checked our bag
gage for Pasadena, eight miles north
east and before ten o’clock, arrived
there, hired a team to take us to the
mountain home where dwells that wife
of mine, but about that time she drove
up and relieved our driver of his “pre
cious charge,” and here I “pull down
the blinds” for a week, when l will tell
you something about California.

News From A Nebraska Home
steader —Crops, People and
Things.
Editor Herald lt is said that
“distance lends enchantment to the
view,” and though sometimes I might
not have appreciated Mahaska at its
full value, out here in the Nebraska
hills, I only think of it as the dear old
home, and all its hills and valleys are
fair to look upon in retrospect; and
everything happening there, from a
political caucus to a neighborhood
quarrel is of interest, and really I think
it can compete with any other equal
area in the United States, for keeping
things lively in that respect. So the
Spirit moves me to write a few lines
to The Herald, for as one of the fixed
institutions of Mahaska, it seems an old
friend.
This part of Custer County is pro
gressing with very reasonable rapidity,
as shown by the large area of B«id
broken up in the last twelve months,
and the fair crops of corn, oats, wheat,
flax, millet, etc. The greatest trouble
is lack of sufficient market for pro
ducts, as the railroad has u6t reached
us yet; though the strong arm of the
Cleveland reform administration has.
Broken Bow has, a Democratic Pr M.
Now I don’t know whether the former
incumbent was guilty of “offensive
partisanship” or not. Last year our
progress was evinced by the organ
ization of a Democratic party, pnd a
thing unheard of here before. This
year has brought us to the climax
where we can have a Greenback party,
and ticket. You can see these west
ern tribes are fast becoming civilized.
I don’t know how it is about the
rain belt constantly moving westward,
as some say, but any way it reached us
this year, giving us almost an lowa
season, with rain and storms too fre
quent; but doing no great damage, ex
cept where accompained with hail.
Custer County Fair was held last
week, rather behind hand in time; but
it was a success taking all things in
consideration. The society has fenced
new grounds half a mile from town,
put up an art gallery of quite respect
able proportions, which was well filled
with an exhibit that no new country
need be ashamed of. In fact even
Eroud Mahaska would have to work
ard to compete with Custer in
vegetable products.
Fine arts was represented in all the
usual departments, showing that
woman’s hand doas not forget its
canning, even when she lives in a sod
house; but for pity sake, don’t think
everybody lives in sod houses here.
Broken Bow puts on quite a
metropolitan appearance, and they are
actually building a brick Opera House.
In the valley here, us dwellers in mud
huts, climb the hill and look upon its
painted glories, with a pride almost as
great as if we could live in a painted
house ourselves.
The railroad is the “coming event”
we all look for with great anxiety.
The lowa people here are all well,
prospering ana happy as far as we
know. As my time is limited as well
as your patience, I will close.

A RACE BETWEEN PILOT BOATS-
A Sociable Pot of Furniture —The In
coming Steamer—Victory.
iNew York Herald.]
The reporter slept like a top till about 6
o’clock. Then he woke up in a hurry.
Pilot Peardou was on deck and operating
the maritime vocabulary iu a way to make
one s hair stand on end. Sails were shift
pulleys were creaking, ropes were
flying and the boat was plunging. Could
it mean shipwreck? The reporter’s first
impulse was to boldly cuddle up in the
berth and be w afted to the New Jerusalem
iu a recumbent posture. His second was
to make for the deck and perish gal
tantly among the crew. He followed the
second.
When lie struck the floor the l>oat
lurched to leeward, and the reporter
sought another berth, somewhat impul
sively, aud sat down. Then it lurched to
windward, and he was thrown into the
society of a locker in that quarter. Then
it plunged forward, and he avoided a col
lision with the table by nearly telescop
ing the stove. He never met such a socia
ble lot of furniture in all his life. At last
he scrambled on deck. Every one was
having an essentially lively time up there.
Pilot Keardon was swinging the tiller and
pointing often to the fog to leeward,
i ilot Conley was standing in his stockings
and some other brief apparel, with the
glass at his eye. Pilot Crocker was busy
with an outfit Pilots Martin and Shield's
were directing the crew.
“ There she is. A steamer, too, ” called
out Pilot Keardon. and as he spoke, away
off in the mist appeared the shadowy out
line of a vessel coming rapidly on.
“We’ll have to run for her, * said Pilot
Conley, and he glanced to windward.
The reporter looked there, too. Away
off, but full in the course of the incoming
steamer, a pair of sails showed up, gradu
ally coming nearer, and on one of them a
number suddenly out’ashed. The re
porter understood it then. It was another
pilot boat, and a race for the steamer was
in progress. The wiad freshened. Out
swelled mainsail and foresail, t ut bulged
forestaysail, jib and jib topsail. The
water sang about the bow and lashed the
sides with foam.
“vp with the colors!” called out Pilot
Conley, and in a twinkling a blue flag
floated aloft—the interrogative signal
if a pilot be wanted. The other pilot
boat showed her colors, too, and came
swiftly on. „
A cry from the cockpit, “he has a w ack
flying'” and sure enough a jack was fly
ing from the steamer’s masthead —the an
swering signal that a pilot was wanted. A
moment of excitement and then another
cry, “Hurrah, she is hauling out for us. ”
It was true. The incoming steamer
gradually diverged from its course, then
swung around and bore down upon us
head on. We had been first sighted. The
other pilot boat did not give up the chase,
though. Bhe kept on, and presently a
bright, vivid flash of flame shot up from
her deck, reddening the canvas and pierc
ing the mist.
“bhe is burning torches.” cried Pilot
Reardon.
So she was. But it was in vain. The
steamer came on, came in full sight, and
a few minutes later the Valencia was
abreast of No. 5. while a yawl, with Pilot
Crocker in it, was plunging through the
sea to her, urged by a pair of stout oars
men.
Man Target* for United States Soldiers.
(Boston Budget.)
A new industry has been started at the
Rock Island armory and arsenal It is
the manufacture of man targets for use
in the regular army. These targets are
made of steel and as near the form of an
average-sized man as can be outlined with
steel. They are madt in three positions
—upright, at a front, then in the position
of firing with arms raised as if holding a
musket Col Flagler himself invented
the machine that works the steel to the
proper shape. The steel frame is covered
with cloth in such a manner that at a dis
tance the resemblance of a man is marked;
and, what is important, it can be told in
iust what part the “man" is hit—arm.
leg, breast, stomach, neck, shoulder or
head. Four hundred of these steel tar
gets are being made, requiring the use of
10ft,0.(0 pounds of steel.
In the target practice they will be
placed in squads, in platoons, in com
panies, and the various other forms in
which soldiers mo e in the opening of an
engagement. The practice will commence
at a range of 250 to 300 yards, and then
be gradually increased to long distances.
The targets will be sent to military posts
at which such practice can be best carried
on The only drawback to the effective
ness of this practice is in the fact that the
steel man targets can not fire back; if
they could, the soldiers who are firing at
them might not be so expert.

The tree which gives character to the
landscape in the island of t'eylou is
the cocoanut palm, whose slender grayish
truuk soars up for sixty or eighty feet
and then bursts into a dense crown of
great feathered leaves, each from ten to
twelve feet in length. These palms grow
close together in vast groves, and to one
walking about under their shade their ap
pearance is very striking, and recalls the
comparison which has been so often made
between a forest and a cathedral; for there
is a rude but evident resemblance to ar
chitecture in the lofty aisles formed by
the shafts of the palms; and roofed in by
the arched and densely intermingled foli

A familiar character in certain sections
of Connecticut and New York state is
known as “the old leather tramp. ” At
intervals of thirty-four days he has per
ambulated a wide district, with self built
huts or other self-appointed stopping
places, for the last twenty-seven years,
lie is generally punctual, if not to tha
minute, yet to'the hour. One of his huts,
built of railway ties, is 100 rods up a
mountain, the material being transported
by his own physical strength He has
also caves in which he finds shelter. His
tour is 866 miles, of which there are 240
miles in Connecticut, traveled by him in
twenty-two days, and 120 miles in the

twelve da s.
He baa' a leather suit of clothes. It

EX-MINISTER a a W. BENJAMIN
Give* a Reporter an Account of Hi* Kx
perlence While In Persia.
[New York Sun Interview.]
•How do the Persians treat Christians
and Europeans?”
“Not badly, if their fanaticism is not
aroused. Then they become dangerous.
A few years ago if a European consorted
with a Persian woman he was killed at
once, or obliged to turn Mohammedan
and marry her. Even now it would cre
ate the greatest trouble, so that Euro
peans confine their attentions to the Ar
menian women of the native ( hristian
population. When the shalie wives drive
through the streets men go ahead to
clear the streets and warn all persons to
conceal themselves. If a man has no
chance of getting away he turns his face
around and does not look, on pain of be
ing roughly handled or perhaps killed on
the spot. Europeans are compelled to do
the same thing.
In June of last year, owing to the in
tense heat, I was compelled to move my
family out of the city. On my way to
the country I met a large force of soldiers
escorting the shah’s wives. If a Persian
had chanced to glance at the royal ladies
in such circumstances he would have
fared hard, but tbe foreign legations have
rights and privileges ot their own, so I
stood my ground. Some twenty of the
mounted guards violently attacked us and
beat my servants and their horses in the
effort to drive them back. I directed them
to stand their ground, and things were
looking serious, when one of the queens
who recognized the servants of my lega
tion by their badges, sent her chief eunuch
to call the soldiers away. VV e were then
allowed to pass through without further
molestation.
This attack was an insult to the dignity
of the legation too great to be overlooked
and I wrote a note to the minister of
foreign at! airs demanding satisfaction im
mediately. The reply to my note being
tardy and evasive, 1 felt it my duty to in
form the minister of foreign aflairs that
unless my terms were granted in thirty
six hours I should haul down the flag and
demand my passport The result justified
my action Without going into details. I
may say that not only was the most ample
satisfaction rendered us within thirty six
hours, but my course received tlie ap
proval of the entire diplomatic corps and
added to the high prestige awarded to
foreign legations at the court of Persia.
“On another occasion a servant of one
of my attaches nearly killed a Persian.
This immediately created the greatest ex
citement, and a mob formed with the in
tention of attacking the legation. The
minister of foreign aflairs notified us to
be prepared. I ordered our military
guard to load their arms, and stationed
them at the weak points where the mob
might enter, making preparations also to
send my family to a place of safety. Hap
pily the earnest efforts of the authorities
were successful in quelling the riot.
“Last spring the otticial paper. Shereef,
published an article that was disrespect
ful to President Cleveland. I immedi
ately demanded that a full correction
should be made and a new article printed,
in which he should be treated with the
greatest honor. After much persistency
this was done. \ isits were very cere
monious. and it was necessary to send no
tice beforehand, and servants would come
out to meet us as a mark of honor. ”
One morning recently a hungry pilgrim
went into Pat Conlon’s restaurant and
ordered some toast, boiled potatoes,
poached eggs, a rare steak, and some hot
cakes. The water, “ Professor, ” Harris,
went to the kitchen and roared out to the
Chinaman: “Gimme a graveyard stew,
potatoes in the dark, two men a-horse
back, a moonlight on the lake and a flam
beau. ” When the pilgrim heard this re
markable order he incontinently fled
from the honse, forgetting to take his hat
and muttering that he d “be gol darned if
he proposed to tackle that kind of a
breakfast, and that if the people lived on
such things in this country he proposed
to return to Missouri ”
A reporter for The Inter-Mountain,
who happened to be in the restaurant at
the time, approached the waiter and asked
for an explanation of the order, and the
professor gave the following version:
“You see,” he said, “we get tired of
commonplaces, and besides, we try to
teach the Chinamen the language A
graveyard stew means milk toast, potatoes
in the dark is boiled potatoes: eggs circus
style means scrambled eggs; rough and
ready means pork and means. a tlamtieau
is fight, hot cakes, and moonlight on the
lake is rare beefsteak. The waiters ail
have pet names for these things, and we
throw potatoes at the l hina cooks till
they know what we mean. ”
Another boarder came in and the pro
fessor roared out with the voice of a
stentor: “Gimme a saddle bags and a
springer.spuds on the side, tenpenny nails
and a shingle to come a runniu’ ” Then
the reporter followed in the wake of the
Missourian.
Dr. R. M. Hodges once read a paper
before the Boston Society for
Medical Improvement, in which he
touched on this question upon
which doctors disagree, and said;
“It Is a common impression that to take
food immediately before going to bed and
to sleep is unwise Such a suggestion is
answered by a reminder that the instinct
of animals prompts them to sleep as soon
as they have eaten; and in summer an
after-dinner nap, especially when that
meal is taken at midday, is a luxury in
dulged in by many. If the ordinary hour
of the evening meal is 6 or 7 o clock, and
of the first morning meal 7 or 8 o’clock,
an interval of twelve hours, or more,
elapses without food, and for persons
whose nutrition is at fault this is alto
gether too long a period for fasting.
“That such an interval without food is
permitted explains many a restless night,
and much of the head and backache, and
the languid-half-rested condition on rising,
which is accompanied by no appetite for
breakfast. This meal itself often dissi
pates these sensations. It is, therefore,
desirable, if not essential, when nutriment
is to be crowded, that the last thing be
fore going to bed should be the taking of
food. Sleeplessness is often caused bv
starvation, and a tumbler of milk, if
drunk in the middle of the night, will
often put people to sleep when hypnotics
would fail of their purpose. Food before
rising is an equally important expedient.
It supplies strength for bathing and dress
ing, laborious and wearisome tasks for
the underfed, aud is a better morning
‘pick-me-up’ than any ‘tonic.’ ”

head. The hole is really so small that it
can only be explored on hands and knees,
and an adult can not turn around in it
The length is 800 feet and tradition savs
that the hero followed the beast to the

COUNT PULASKI'S SRANO-NIEQE,
Visit* th* PmM**t m 4 iukM »
N*w York. Oct 16.—The Herald’s Wash
ington special say*: Just before the presi
dent came down to hold bis usual afternoon
reception in the east room of the White
House Wednesday it was noticed that Miss
Zobrinski, who claims to be the grand-niece
of Count Pulaski, was among those isetnd.
Miss Zobrinski has been regarded as a mild
kind of a nuisance and liable at any time to
create a sensation. She has been here a
number of years with some kind of claim
against the government, end is well known
to almost every one who has business
about the capital. She talks Rngiiah
*> imperfectly that but few know
the exact nature of her claim.
So as to get her out of the room as quietly
as possible, Doorkeeper Dins more sent a
lady after her to iuvite her to examine some
Bowers in the conservatory, his idea being
to keep her in the conservatory until the
reception was over. The old lady suspected
all was not right and declined to go. Sergt.
Dinsmore was forced, therefore, to lift her ten
derly out of the White House door. She came
back almost as quickly as she was put out.
but was not allowed to enter the east room.
She was very much incensed that a Pulaski
should be put out of the White House, and
threatened all „inds of proceedings against
the government. The last time this lady
got into the east room she demanded that
her claim should be paid, aud tbe presi
dent, who was unable to understand a word
she said, had some difficulty in getting rid
of her.
NELLIE GRANT SARTORIS.
Reported Estrangement Between Has-
band and Wife.
Galen a. IIP.. Oct 18.—Tbe story of the
alleged estrangement between Nellie Grant
Sartoris and her husband, Algernon, is be
lieved by friends of tbe family here; indeed,
there are one or two persons in Galena who
claim to have received intimation
from Mrs. Grant that her daughter’s
matrimonial lot was an unhappy
ona Mr. and Mrs. Sartoris have virtually
lived apart during the past five year.-, the
latter having passed most of the time very
quietly with her children in Germany and
Italy, while her husband has been roaming
about from place to place, with no settle*i
habitation. The reported escapade of
Sartoris, a few years ago, when be came
over to this country to look after some
of his father’s property at Green Bay,
Wis., and about which the papers had a
great deal to say at the time, is known here
to have disgusted the general and his wife
with their son-in-law, and made a breech
between Mr. and Mrs. Sartoris that nothing
can heal. It is thought, however, that Nel
lie bai gone back to England with a determi
nation to faithfully perform her
wife and mother, as she always has done,
and that she will make no effort to secure
the custody of her children with the view to
bringing them to the United States and
separating them permanently from their
father.
The Dakota Govsruoriblp.
Washington City, Oct IS. —Toe Da
kota Democrats are making a strong raid
up in Governor Gil Pierce, and the opinion
prevails that he will be superseded at an
early day. Dakota politicians think Mr.
Zubach. of southern Dakota, will succeed
Governor Pierce, but others believe that the
governorship will be awarded to some prom
inent Democrat from the .states, irrespective
of the plank in the platform of the Demo
cratic national convention pronouncing in
favor of territorial home rule. This action,
if taken, w'ill be construed as indicating the
speedy advance of Dakota as a state.
Ninety Per Cent. French Canadian*.
Montreal, Oct 16. Out of 280 deaths
i rom small-pox, last week, 263 were French-
Canadian*. Judge Taschereau has decided
that the board of health is legally consti
tuted; that the city is rightfully in poises
Mon of the Mt Royal hospital and that
magistrates and justices of the peace can
convict for violations of the health laws.
This clears away all the legal difficulties,
but the French are furious with rage at the
decisions, and it is feared that the exhibition
buildings will be moboed again.
