AN APACHE SCARE.
General Miles Denies That There
Is an Outbreak.
Tils San Carlo* Indians Are Peaceable and
- Have Not Left Their Reservation— Only
Eight Outlaws at Large.
Dispatches from Arizona regarding a
dreaded outbreak there of Apaches have
caused considerablespeculation among per
sons interested m the Territory, and not a
' . little alarm among those who have friends
living ou the southern plains.
- According to General Miles there is no
truth in the news, and it is entirely prob
able that the correspondent lias been mis
informed about the true state of affairs.
. The Genera] is not backward in stating
- ; that alarming reports from Arizona to
•' papers in the northern cities do great In
- justice to the Indians, the Territory and the
white settlers th.-re.
! ...'-a reports," said he, "would be suf
ficient to cause intense alarm among Ameri
can residents, who would send away their
families and prepare for trouble and danger
on iea. lint such dispatches. They nat
urally enough would say the news was
true.''
_IOST-,_ t-O-N-i-a-Tl* HE.
. These dispatches state that raids of
' rapine and murder have been begun by the
■ Apache* and the cattle men and ranchers
throughout Southern Arizona are in con
- danger. The apparent indifference of
' tbe Government adds to the seriousness of
the situation. A trip over a greater portion
'.••of the Territory, from the Mexican line to
the Southern Pacific Railroad, gives evi
dence of the gravity of the situation. All
persons living remote from the larger set
-mollis are in hourly dread of attack and
are preparing to defend themselves against
. the marauders, at the same time moving
'. their families from the ranges to places ol
safety. Surmises, Indications, general feel
• ings, convictions and beliefs are indulged
- in quite freely, and they all appear to come
from sources of dubious reliability. Gen
eral Miles is spoken of as "the only man
--- who ever showed appreciation of the dan
gers that surround the exposed tattlers, and
! grappled with the problem 'in a practical
way." That he should now show so little
concern in the matter Is, according to the
dispatches, considered surprising, and is
accounted for on Hie supposition that he
Las been misinformed by bis subordinates.
i.h.M.UAL MILLS SPEAKS.
A Call reporter was accorded an inter
view last evening by the General, who
spoke freely concerning '.lie rumored out
break.
"1 really do not see anything startling In
tliese dispatches," said he. " There, are no
leal facta staled. Scarcely a resident in
tbe Territory is as well Informed of the
true slate of affairs on the reservations as
the ofiicers, many of whom have been there
fifteen years or more and ought to know of
everything that takes place among the In
diaus.
"The bulk of the Indians on the reser
vation and in Arizona ar. us peaceable as
|***'a.he laboring men of California and a large
Dumber are working on the railroads."
"Is it true, then, that sixty or eighty
Apaches are off the reservation?" the re
porter asked.
"six or eight would be nearer the truth.
Take off the cipher and you have It. At
one time there were sixteen, but this num
ber has been reduced by the troops to eight.
And they are not hostile, remember. They
are mere 1* outlaws from civil authorities-
Indians who were Implicated in the as- is
sination of Sheriff Reynolds when he was
taking them to the penitentiary, and are
now seeking refuse in the mountains and
in Mexico, i lie troops are bunting them
up, but there is no reason why the Governor
and civil authorities should not offer re
wards for their capture. Eight convicts at
large, escapes from justice, are tbo only In
. diaus off the reservation.
"There i- no general outbreak. In the
main the Indians are practically under
contrail. The Indians are counted once a
week for rations, and have to be for tickets.
Toe hist count dues not show any missing.
" There are 1000 troops in Arizona— plenty
for the ordinary demand and for present re
quirements."

"What's that?" asked a Call reporter,
pointing to a shape that hung in a florist's
window.
"That? why, have you never seen one be
fore? That is a Japanese fern, and they
are highly prized, too, by fern collectors, on
account of their shape."
"It is a natural one?"
! "Natural! Well, as natural as anything
is that has the hand of man to help it to its
result These ferns are raised io Japan,
a ml a nation of clever lingers that can do so
much with a stiff and resisting wood like
the bamboo are not likely to be bailled by
the pliable roots of a fern. This plant is a
native of Japan. If you look you will see
• that it has long twine-like roots. These are
bound into any desired shape, and, with a
great deal of ingenuity to*-., are made to
I assume whatever fanciltil design the artist
may select. That one in lie window is
meant for a lantern. See, it is composed of
six hoops bound together something after
the form of a cube."
"How do they stand the transit? I
should think that the delicate fronds would
be all crushed," said the reporter interrupt
ing Ins informaut. "As I was about to ex
plain," said the florist with reproachful
emphasis, "the Japanese do all their manip
ulation of the fern while it is in a dormant
stale, and then packing them so
as to exclude all light and air, they
ship them over to us. We take them,
water them and expose them each day
for a little while to the rays, not the direct
rays, of the sun. This soon brings the
delicate frond* to the front and then the
sliape is enib'-wered in bright, beautiful
green. To go back to our lantern. It is a
very pretty device to hang a small glass
! globe .lining two tiny gold fish within
the center of the form, and the bright
bodies of the gold fish flashing in the light
carry out the idea of the flame in the lan
tern. You see how pretty the idea is for a
conservatory, for, properly, they must
be susi ended, they are not meant to stand,
although of course they will grow even a
laid upon the floor."
"Are they expensive ?"
" Well, yes, somewhat, although we have
them as low as 75 cents; none of this lot
are less than twice that amount. Hut look
. at the different shapes! Besides the lan
tern there are a turtle, a Japanese junk, a
■ pagoda— that's St. Of course, you under
stand that there are a greit mauy more
than the roots of one fern in these "devices
'"—a ell, a lizard, scrolls and rings."
"Are they long-lived, or are they apt to
die as soon as they leave your fostering
care?"
" Indeed, there's not a bit of danger that
you will be throwing your money away, if
• that's what you mean. I could refer you to
ladies who bought such ferns from me
years ago, and the ferns are handsomer
now than when I sold them."
"Ho they require a great deal of atten
tion ?_»
* " I should say so. The secret is to give
them water when they want it, not to soak
em when they do not need it. Hut the
way that I water them is to immerse the
entire shape in a bucket of water for a few
moments and then let the plant drain for a
few moments in the sun before I hang it
.up in the show-window. That's certainly
simple enough."
TEETERED IN MEETING.
Embarrassing Accident Tlitt Happened
to a BllnUter at a Grove Meeting.
This comes by way of the Lewiston (Me.)
Journal: "Last season during the presiding
elder's visit to Aroostook a grove meeting
was held. The presiding elder occupied the
pulpit and commenced to preach. A- his
discourse was vciy interesting, one young
minister, Mr. Wv, who occupied a chair
directly behind the speaker, concluded he
could hear better in the audience, so
going down the aisle be seated /himself
on one end of a plank. The planks
were placed on three rests, hut some one
had pulled the prank off from the rest
at one end. Mr. W. leaned against a tree
and had closed his eyes for meditation
when a very heavy sister arrived and seated
herself on the opposite end. In an instant
tier end of the plank went down, while the
young clergyman shot several feet into the
air. The speaker turned red and choked,
but finally went on, while the audience al
most burst trying to hold its laughter. As
soon as the exercises of the morning were
over the presiding elder touched Brother
W. and with affected severity said : 'This
wont do. When Igo to your place I shall
leel under obligations to tell your wife 1
saw you teeter in meeting with another
brother's wife.' And he kept his word."

DOLORES STREET.
The Home Protective Improve
merit Club Speak-.
A meeting of property-owners in the vi
cinity of Church and Twenty-eighth streets
was held yesterday afternoon in Rolando's
Hall, Church street, near Twenty-eighth,
for the purpose of protesting against being
assessed for the proposed opening of Do
lores street from Thirtieth to the Mission
road. The meeting, which was well at
tended, was called to order by Temporary
Chairman J. F. Broad.
It was decided to call the organization
the Home Protective Improvement Club,
and the following permanent officers were
elected : President, .1. F. Broad ; Secretary,
T. A. Moitor.l; Treasurer, N. W. Connors;
Financial Secretary. L. G. Flanagen.
The newly-elected President was called
upon for a speech and respond, d as lollows :
"This meeting has been called to protest
against an outrageous imposition— that is,
being assessed to open and improve a street
when such opening and improvement can
in no measure be of any benefit. We are
quite willing to be assessed for th** opening of
Twenty-eighth street from Church, but this
matter of improving Dolores street does not
interest us, and we propose to fight this
scheme, which is all the way through job
bery ol the veriest type. The assessment
district, as laid out by the Board of Super
visors, is all wrong. They know it is all
wrong. Supervisors Boyd and Ellert have
so expressed themselves, and I want to say
here that they are our friends and deserve
the support of the club at the next election.
Tin* others are against us, anil as they mean
fight they will find us ready."
R. Manuels said : This infamous scheme
was concocted at the rooms of the Ash
worth Club, a political organization. 1 am
aware that Supervisors Boyd and Ellert are
not in favor of this trickery, but what can
two men do on a hoard like the present one?
They are controlled by the other members,
but the other members cannot control us,
they can neither whip us into obedience or
coax us into submission.
N. W. Connors: Tuere are a great many
property- who know nothing of this
scheme to swindle them, They do not
know that they are to be assessed for the
proposed Improvement. Therefore, 1 move
that an assessment roll of this district be
procured at once and that the Secretary be
instructed to send a notice to each resident
who will be taxed for this extension.
The motion was carried.
Barry: This proposed extension and
improvement of Dolores street will greatly
beuelit me, as 1 reside in that vicinity. But
that such extension should be made, I can
not concur in a plan proposed by greedy
and unscrupulous tricksters. I am In sym
pathy with the protest. It is easy enough
to see through their little game. "It Is not
the first Job that has been up of which 1
have cognizance. If this improvement is
made commissioners will be appointed at a
fat salary. The same man who asked me
to sign a petition for the opening of Dolores
street expects to be one of those commis
sioners.
On motion of L. G. Flanagen a second
protest was drawn up, Which is to be for
warded to the Board of Supervisors at its
next meeting. This document reads as fol
lows:
To the Hoard of Supervisors: We, the under
slitned, property-owners, hereby protest most
emphatically— not against the contemplated Im
provement and extrusion ot Dolores street— but
for leir.g assessed for work which will nut anal
cannot tent-fit us. V.i ate willing to meet any de
mand lliat will call tor an assessment on our
atieei. hut surety Dolores street ijioperty-owneis
do not expect anyone els.* to pay for the Im
provements that concerns ami hen Lis them
selves alone. To assess us, w • claim Is not only
outrageous and a piece ot buz eltroutery, but
Illegal.
The protest was signed by forty members
of the club, after which the meeting ad
jo.irn_d.

THE MORNING CALL. SAN FRANCISCO, MONDAY. JUNE 23, 189Q-EIGIIT PAGES.
THEIR PATRON'S DAY.
■p.im_*-i*i^mj'__i in t i Wmai W Vat ao\t t_m
Children Celebrate the Feast of
St. Aloysius.
Sermon and Exercises at St. Ignatius Church
in Hii Honor— Thousands Participate.
Frizes Awarded.
The large church of St Ignatius, on
Hayes street, was completely filled yester
day afternoon with the Sunday-school chil
dren of the church and their frUnds, when
the annual celebration in honor of St. '
Aloysius, under the auspices of the ladies
of St. Aloysius Circle, was commenced at
half-past 2 o'clock In the afternoon.
At that hour a long procession of chil
dren and young misses, many in white, en
tered the church from Hayes street, carry
ing banners representing different guilds of
the Sunday-schools. There were about 1500
children in line, and they occupied the
greater portion of the spacious interior.
They had marched in procession from St.
Ignatius Hall in the college building en
Van Ness avenue.
By the time they were all seated every
pew was filled by interested friends, who
remained until 6 o'clock at the exercises in
the college hall. Very Rev. Joseph Sasia.
S. J., Superior of the order on this Coast,
delivered an address to the children.
THE SE-'.MO_r.
While addressing himself in a particular
manner to the children and teachers, he
said he would take advantage of the occa
sion to direct some worths to the parents,
which would be useful to all. The chil
dren of the church are favored with the es
pecial gift of Providence. All the diamonds
and riches of the world could not purchase
the soul which one of them possessed—
soul destined to see God, to surround his
throne and abide with him forever.
Changing his theme to education, ha said
that Catholic schools are being multiplied
Irani day to day all over the country, so
also are Sunday-schools, independently of
them, for the benefit of those children who
have not had a Catholic education. The
danger of losing one's soul begins
from the moment children first know
right from wrong, hence how foolish this
thought: "Let the children grow up till
they are ripe for religious Instruction. Then
teach them religion and they will know
better."
What insurance have parents that chil
dren may grow up to that age? It is only
In later life and in the next world that the
children will bo able to appreciate its full
value. The church is not content nor satis
fied with giving to her children sound in
struction and teaching them the truth. The
church wishes them not only to be well
grounded in Christian doctrine, but that
they should also daily carry into practice
what the faith teaches.
________ EXAMPLES.
She points out the examples of her saints,
from the humblest to tho.-e who rule the
world by the greatness of their genius, the
charming examples of young saints for her
children.
He then alluded to St. Aloysius and the
brilliant examples of the young saint's life,
one of whose maxims was: "The good we
do ought to be well done." He was pre
pared for the final summons of his Creator;
be of the royal race of proud Gonzaga had
abandoned all for his God, and in the end
became one of the highest honors of the
Order of Jesuits. It well behooved the
children to follow his example, for he was
their patron saint.
The reverend speaker announced in clos
ing his address that a year from yesterday
the magnificent decorations of St. Ignatius
Church will have been finished, and the
third centenary of St. Ignatius will be cele
brated on that day with ceremonies more
solemn and grand than have probably ever
been seen in this city.
Benediction of the blessed sacrament fol
lowed, and when this service was concluded
the children and congregation proceeded to
the college hall, where very entertaining
exercises, as follows, were given by the
Sunday-school children:

The Trainers of the National Red
Cross of America foresaw that the great
wars of its people would not be con
fined to human warfare— the elements,
raging unchained, would wage us wars and
face us in savage battles; that, as our vast
territories became populated, and people,
instead of prairies and forests, should lie
iv their track, these natural agents might
prove scarcely less destructive and more
relentless than human enemies; that fire,
Hood, famine, pestilence, drought, earth
quake and tornado would call for prompt
help no less than war; and while organiz
ing for the latter, the Ileal Cross Associa
tion Included the former, writes Isabella
11. Ilinton in Frank Leslie's Popular
.Monthly tor July. Tim International Led
Cross Congress at Berne accepted us, anil
the " Civil Branch," or " Service in Na
tional Calamities," is known abroad
as the American Amendment. Touch
ing this amendment, the wars of the
elements have not left us quite at leisure.
The National Association lias a field agent
who visits in person every scene where aid
is to be rendered. Commencing with the
"forest fires" of Michigan in 1881, there
lias since fallen to its hands a large share of
the relief work in the overflow of the
Mississippi Liver in 1882, of the Ohio
in 18S3, of the Lousiania cyclone in the
same year, and of the overflow of
both the Ohio ami Mississippi in 1884.
The representatives of the United states
Government were present at the Led Cross
International Conference at Geneva, Switz
erland, in 1884. The exhibition of wo
man's work in the Led Cross Depart
ment at the Exposition in New Orleans
in 1888 was a notable illustration of its
thoroughness. The drought in Northwestern
Texas in 18-G, and the Charleston earth
quake iv the same year, made strong de
mands on its energies. American Led
Cioss representatives wore again at the
Court of .laden, at Carlsruhe, Germany, In
1887, and the relief of the sufferers from
the Mount Vernon (III.) cyclone followed
on their return. In fields where yellow fe
ver ravaged the Led Cross has been seen,
with no appropriation and no treasury. The
Led Cross received during the floods of
1.84 from its societies and the public and
personally distributed in the space of four
moots the moderately estimated sum of
5175.000.
Previous to the Crimean War civil help
for military necessities was unknown.
Florence Nightingale trod a pathless field.
The wars of Napoleon HI were types of
cruelty which shocked the world. Out of
these smoldering memories rose the clear,
steady flame of the lied Cross.
MONOPOLY OF INDIANA CHIME.
Four II mid i Families of Criminals
Triticeal to the Lineage .if Ben I.hiii t»*l.
A recent dispatch from Indianapolis to
the Chicago Herald says: From one family
have come all the criminals in Indiana. A
chart sent from here to the conference of
charities and corrections showed 417 fam
ilies in Indianapolis all connected by mar
riage, with the "Tribe of Islimael" for the
center. These families are all paupers and
every crime of consequence that has ever
been committed iv Indianapolis since it was
incorporated was done by them. The
"tribe" originated In Pennsylvania, but the
first knowledge of It was in "old Ben" I-li
mael and bis wife, Jennie Ishmael. Tiny
were described by Fenimore Cooper in his
novel "The Prairie," the man as "Islimael
Bush" or Skirting Ishmael, and the woman
as Esther Bush. They were Kentucky out
casts and outlaws, and toward the close of
the book it is said that they went out to
ward the Platte region and were never
heard of afterward. The date is given as
1802. The mental, moral and physical char
acteristics of the Is mads of to-day, Ben
ishmael's grandsons, correspond exactly
with the descriptions given by Cooper.. Of
the old man's sons and daughters, Sallie
married Louis Meyer, a son of Ben Meyer,
the companion and friend of Daniel Boone;
Rose married John Irwin, a murderer, and
John married Betsy Harbot, a half-breed
Indian. Of tho tribe in Indiana this last
couple is the center. The lines of marriage
radiate in every direction, binding together
in a network nearly every family of pau
pers and criminals in Indiana. Moral con
siderations never enter into their calcula
tions. The divorce courts are monopolized
by this class. In one family there is a
record of five marriages for each of three
children and of seven marriages for the
fourth daughter. In the next generation
one of the family has been married nine
time. She is about thirty-six years old.

The Oueer Kill Presented by n Careful
nntl Thrifty Tradesman In Detroit.
One morning recently a gentleman who
has for years bought his morning paper at a
Woodward-avenue "news depot" entered
the store, says the Detroit Tribune. The
proprietor, besides selling papers and
books, has a candy and peanut counter.
"Good morning, Mr. B."
"Good morning, Mr. i,."
The paper was handed to him and he was
about to depart When the proprietor re
marked :
"By the way, Mr. __„ I have a little bill
against you."
"A bill against me? That must be a mis
take."
"I think not."
" Let me see it."
The bill was handed to him.
For peanuts. $2 15." it read.
"How is this," blustered the gentleman.
" Well, sir, every morning for the last
four years you have taken two peanuts
when you left the store. , That would bo
twelve peanuts a week, not counting in
Sunday, when your paper is delivered at
your house; 034 peanuts In a year and 24b
peauuts in four years. I have figured there
ate fifty-seven peanuts in a pint. Fifty
seven 1nt0 2496 goes about 43 times. Mul
tiplying by - ceuts, the price of the peanuts
per pint, I mako the total S- 15. Are my
figures correct?"
The gentleman was so dazed that he paid
the bill without a word.

THE FLOATING
BATHS OF PARIS.
Those on the Seine— What They
Are and the Frequenters.
The Crush, Noise and Confusion— Putting on
Airs During the -.em-Had.— Curious
Characters in the Water.
Special to The M..n . 1 -„, Cau,
When I cross the bridges theso warm
evenings the Seine calls to me with
friendly sounds. It flows along, wide,
cool, full of a loving slowness, offer
ing itself, lingering among the quays.
The water rustles like a woman's silken
skirts. It is a willowy sweetheart, and ir
resistibly attracts me,«.-N
The proprietor of the floating baths,
who saw with consternation the continuous
rains of May, perspire with beatitude be
neath the hot sun of June. At last the
water is of a suitable temperature for the
bathers. From (J o'clock in the morning
there is a crush. The bathing-drawers do
not get time to dry, and promenading
wrappers are secured with difficulty toward
evening.
I remember my first visit to one of these
baths, one of these huge wooden tanks, in
which tbo bathers turn like straws dancing
in the depths of a pot of boiling water.
I had come from a small town, from a lit
tle river in which I had splashed about In
full liberty, and I was dismayed by that
trough in which the water assumed the hue
of soot. Toward 6 o'clock in the evening
the swarm is such that one must calculate
his spring if he would not land on some
body's back or plunge into somebody's
stomach. The water loams, the whiteness
of the bathers' bodies fills it with a wan re
flection, while the bits of canvas suspended
by ropes in guise of a roof let lull a dubious
light.
A FIUC.HTH'I. DIN*.
The noise is terrible. At tinges, under
the impulse of sudden Gives, the water is
thrown upward and falls back with a
sound like the distant report of a cannon.
'1 he hands of jokers beat the river with the
tic-tac of mill-wheels; and there are those
who learn to fall backward in order to
make the utmost possible noise and inun
date the establishment. But all this is
nothing compared to the intolerable cries,
to the shrill yells, which suggest an army
of unruly school-boys at recess time. Men
become children again in the pure water.
The grave luoineiiailers who are passing
along the quays cast a frightened glance at
those flapping bits of canvas, between
which they catch an indistinct glimpse of
what seems to them big devils capering
about in almost the original attire of
Adam. The ladies rush by as quickly as
they can.
1 have, nevertheless, spent pleasant hours
in these floating bath- very early in the
morning while the great city of Paris was
yet asleep. Then tho bather avoids the
throng of bony shoulders, bald heads and
enormous stomachs sure to be there in the
afternoons. The baths are almost deserted,
only a few young fellows who are passion
ately attached to the water being visible,
swimming about In them and quietly enjoy
ing themselves in a rational manner. The
water is at its coolest after the refreshing
slumbers of the night. It is in its purest
and best condition.
THE TIME TO 00
To thoroughly enjoy the baths they must
be visited before 5 o'clock in the morning.
The city has a warmish awakening. Noth
ing Is more delicious than to follow* the
quays at that hour and _.-.,-.- at the tranquil
tide which you will soon be breasting. In
the bath the water ill slumbers. It is
you who will awaken It. You can take it
in your embrace in silence. You can feel
the current pass all along your flesh, from
your neck to your heels, with a fleeing
caress.
The rising sun stripes with rosy bands
the bathing drawers hung to dry from the
canvas roof, and which deck it like a multi
tude of white Hags. Then a little chill runs
over the skin, from the too keen kisses of
the river, and you will find it exceedingly
pleasant to slip on a promenading wrapper
and walk leisurely beneath the galleries.
If you are Imaginative you can easily think
you am in ancient Athens, with sandaled
feet, free neck and simple robe fastened
about your waist. Trousers, vest, coat,
boots and bat are not present to destroy the
poetic illusion. You can enjoy yourself at
your ease in that flowing garment. if you
wish you can extend the dream to the ro
mantic spring time of Greece 011 the strand
of the eternal blue of the Archipelago.
But as soon as the throng of daily bathers
arrive*, you must flee uud leave the new
comers in complete possession. They bring
the heat of the city pavements at their
heels. The river speedily loses its purity
of the early dawn. It becomes the common
properly of all and is bruised aud heated
by the embraces of the crowd.
Nt man UGLiXESS.
What an array of ugliness is then to he
seen. The ladies upon the quays do well
to hasten their steps. A museum of the
monstrosities of antiquity could never reach
such a high degree of dismal comicality.
It is a terrible trial for a modern man of
the average type, especially a Parisian, to
appear in a state of nature, and, in conse
quence, prudent people are inclined to avoid
these floating baths. One day a friend
pointed out to me a Counselor of State
among the bathers. He was such a pitiful
spectacle with his sharp shoulders and his
poor flat chest that every time I encoun
ter his name associated with some grave
political affair I cannot resist the tempta
tion to burst out laughing.
There are bathers of all shapes and sizes
—fat bathers, slim bathers, tall bathers and
short bathers; those who float upon the
surface of the water like bladders, those
who sink and seem to melt away like lumps
of sugar; those who appear to swell out
and these who appear to sin ink; with the
latter the flesh falls, the bones protrude,
the heads withdraw between the shoulders
or perch upon, necks like those of picked
chickens, while the legs are drawn up like
the twisted limbs of a duck. Some are all
back, others all stomach and some have
neither back nor stomach worth mention
ing, no shape whatever admitting of an in
telligent description. It is a grotesque and
lamentable collection of humanity which
arrests tho burst of laughter in au excess of
pity.

PETROLEUM IN PERU.
Kngll-hinea Said to lie .-.i the all. .111 of
Oil Developments -here.
if report speaks truly, petroleum promises
to furnish a new and important industry to
Peru. For many years it lias been known
to exist in large quantities in the district
between Payta and Tumbes, says the Lou
don Oil Trade Review, but no attempt lias
yet been made to work It. It is reported,
however, that an English firm in the China
trade has now taken the matter In hand and
has procured the concession of a tract of
laud in the heart of the petroleum field with
a view to boring for the precious fluid. We
understand that the necessary machinery is
now on its way to Lima and the result of
its operations will be watched with interest.
It is calculated that petroleum can be pro
duced in Peru at a cost that will admit of
competition with the United States and
Russia, not only to South American mar
kets, but in those of China and Australia. ■
piilitair Music.
The Royal College of Music for the Brit
ish army is bound by the Queen's regula
tions for the army to use the "Philharmon
ic" orchestral pitch. Colonel Shaw-llellier,
the Colonel-Commandannt - of that Institu
tion, has recently obtained the aid of Mr.
A. J. llipkius, of Messrs. Bradwood &
Sous, to adjust the Kneller Hall stand
ard tuning fork to the pitch adopted by the
London Philharmonic Society when Sir
Michael Costa was the conductor of the or
chestra (IMS-Si), and still maintained. The
correction is :to B flat, .479.2 double varia
tions at 60° Fahrenheit, and Is equivalent
at that temperature to A 452.4 and C 538.
Following is the coefficient for rise of tem
perature as determined for the smaller
wind instruments by Mr. D. J. Blaikley.
viz., .25 per degree, the C will be "*4O double
variations for 08°, a pitch which may be ac
cepted as the mean for concert orchestras.
The larger wind instruments rise more rap
idly. The desirability of a uniform pitch
for military bands being observed when
they are to be massed, as they will be in
the forthcoming military exnibitton at
Chelsea, is evident. — Athenteuin.
A EUROPEAN CENSUS.
Details That Citizens Are Forced
to Furnish to Enumerators.
Americans who are loudest in their groan
ings about several census questions should
look at the inquisition to which the Ger
mans aro subjected.
The German year-book gives the figures
of even the income tax. An income of £250
or less is not taxed, and up to $750 the tax
is nominal. For Incomes over 8700 the
owner must swear as to the truth of the
figures he gives. The exact rental of each
dwelling Is obtained, and the average rentals
for different conditions are published. The
showing for the year ISBS makes the aver
age rental for a single room without a stove
—or an "unbeatable" room, as the expres
sion used is— a sum that corresponds in our
money to $30 per year. It makes the rental
for a single room with a stove in it or a
single "beatable" room— 850; for living
apartments, consisting of two "beatable"
rooms, $85 per annum ; for apartments,
consisting of three such rooms, $1-0; for
four "beatable" rooms, ,200, etc.
The figures throwing light upon the
amount of reading done by different classes
of citizens is very detailed. In Berlin they
have a system of popular ward libraries, of
which there are 25 altogether. These are
owned and managed by the city. The drain
upon these libraries during a single season
is sought to be shown more usefully by a
classification of the readers. Twelve hun
dred officials of the city civil service are re
ported to have taken out altogether 30.000
volumes, or twenty-five apiece. Nine hun
dred and eleven teachers are stated to have
used in the same period of time 25,000
books; 3000 pupils of schools, -0,000
volumes; 2000 business men, 49,000 volumes;
3600 artisans, 00,000 volumes; 80.. workmen
of the lower class, 18,000 volumes; 125 sol
diers, 999 volumes, and -.",000 women, 82,000
volumes. The official library of the Mayor
of Berlin had recently 30,000 volumes; the
library of the Statistical Bureau had at the
same time 5000 books; the Royal Library
1,000,000 books, oi which 200,0.0 were taken
out in the year; tho University .Library
loaned in the same time 45,000 books; the
library of the Geological Society, 35,000;
that of the Technical nigh School. 5000;
that of the Agricultural School, 30.0.0; that
of the Patent Office, 30,000; that of the Im
perial Statistics Bureau, 30,000, and that of
the Prussian Statistics Bureau, 113,000.
The figures given in regard to marriage
are interesting. In Germany a compulsory
civil marriage law is in force. The only
question before the parties to a marriage in
Berlin is whether, after the civil marriage,
they shall seek the blessing of the church "
upon their union. The Year Book shows
that lit ISSO 8 per cent more married
couples sought this blessing than in the
preceding year. Sixty-one percent of all
those married couples, not classed as Cath
olics, were married a second time with a
religious service. During the same year
87 per cent of the children in th. whole
population are shown to have been bap
tized. The ordinary church statistics, curi
ously, appeared as follows: Churches in
Berlin, 45: chapels (chiefly meeting places
of sects), 21; total church seating capacity,
50,000; cleigy men, 127. The population of
the city is about 1,500,000. There la a
special report of accessions and desertions '
of the evangelical body in Berlin. In 1887
285 persons were converted to Evangelical
ism and 114 persons left the body. Six of
these went over to Judaism and 108 to
other religious denomination* .
The police methods in Berlin greatly aid
in the preparation of an accurate census.
No room can be rented at a hotel or board
ing-house, and no apartment or house can
be legally leased, until the landlord has
Saint to the police the name and purpose
of the new-coiner, and the length of time
for which he will probably make the
city his home. The same method is
in vogue in other German cities.
The experience of one of the profes
sors of the University of Pennsylvania last
summer is significant as to the effective
ness of these methods. Wishing to com
imit-ie-tta* with an American lady who v. .a
abroad, and, as he thought, in Leipsic, he
wrote to the police of that city. The an
swer declared that no person of the name
was in the city. A similar letter was sent
to the police headquarters of Dresden, and
a similar answer was received. When,
later, however, the professor wrote to the
police of Berlin, the reply announced that
Mrs. was living at street, on the

COULDN'T STAND THE RACKET.
to Indian's .mug -.xperlenre la a
Montana iii.m
"You see, it happened like this," snid an
old-timer. "It was in '06. My old friend
Bill Hamilton of Stillwater, sometimes
called Wildcat Hill, was a United States
Deputy Marshal and Sheriff of Choteau
County. There bad been some Illegal
whisky-selling going on around the Black
foot country, aud finally Hill got after the
guilty parties.
"A young Indian named Two Wolves got
mixed up in the affair, and Bill arrested
him as a witness and brought him to Hele
na. Howey was Marshal hero at that time,
and I was a Deputy.
"When Bill arrived in town with his In
dian he called on Howey aud me to help
take (are of him. Well, on the night of the
daj that BUI and his prisoner arrived there
was some sort of a show going on in an old
hall up on Bridge street. We all wanted to
go, but we didn't know what to do with the
Indian. Finally Hill said: 'We will take
him along with us,' which we agreed to do.
"Neither Bill nor the Indian had ever
seen a show before. Well, we went up to the
hall and got seats in the gallery, the Indian
being seated between Bill and me. 1 forget
what the play was, but it was one of the
Old-fashioned kind, where the whole com
pany was killed oil" before the show was
over.
"We got interested in the performance
and forgot all about the Indian. He kept
quiet until the killing began. When the
actors began firing pistols and showing
knives the Indian got nervous, and finally,
when the people on the stasia began falling
thick link fast, he could stand Hie show no
longer.
"Suddenly he made a jump from the seat,
and, before Bill and 1 could stop him, that
Indian had jumped clean through a win
dow near by and out onto a sort of plat-
form.
" He got down to the ground, stole a horse
somewhere and rode twenty-five miles
bareback down to the valley. There he
stole a saddle and weut home again to his
friends in the tribe.
"Bill never caught him, but we heard
afterward that the Indian said the reason
lie left was because he was afraid of being
killed. He said the white folks iv Helena
were killing each other on a platform in
one end of the room, and the rest of the
people were sitting around laughing at the
business."— Helena pendent.
Doctoring When Asleep.
" I bad an unusual experience a few nights
ago," said a celebrated woman physician
recently, " which illustrates how accu
rately the brain may sometimes carry on
the activities of the day during the interval
of sleep, although such unconscious cere
bration would not do to swear by. A few
nights since 1 watched all night at the bed
side of a very sick patient Fatly in the
morning 1 lay down, idling the nurse to
call me if such and such a change occurred.
The change came, am! she called me. 1
lose, went to the bedside, examined the
patient carefully, changed the medicine
and ordered a different treatment.
"Then I went back to bed. When I
awoke again and the nurse referred to the
change in the night, I did not know what
she meant, I had not the faintest recollec
tion of having been called or of having pre
scribed anything else. I examined the
patient; she was better. Then I turned to
the remedies; they were just what the case
required. 1 had carried on the proper
course of reasoning aud had met every
emergency of the case, and yet I was
souud asleep all the while."— X. i". Sun.
London's New Tower.
The Watkin tower Is so far on the way
to become an accomplished fact that a site
of three hundred aires has been purchased.
Of this ground one-half will be required for
the tower and the other half will be laid
out as a pleasure garden. The promoters
have not been starved in the matter of de
signs. They have had plans sent from the
continent and from America, as well as
from all parts of the United Kingdom.
Some of the competing engineers have
branched into remarkable designs. One,
for ; example, has provided for a steam
tramway from the base to the summit of
the tower, and another lias given his
structure an initial span In the form of a
dome large enough to contain the whole of
the houses of Parliament. The steam
tramway, however, is not likely to be con
structed. The promoters have decided that
the transport within the tower shall be ef
fected entirely by hydraulic machinery-

THE VENDETTA.
A Peculiar Institution That
Thrives in Corsica.
Small ID-ait* Are Never Forgiven, But Unit
Be Wiped Out in Blood if It Takes a
Tear— Striking Examples.
Should a Corsican. in revenge for injury
done to himself or his relations, or even to
his dog or his horse, kill another with knife
or coup de fusil, public sympathy sus
tains him, the hills shelter him, bis
relations feed him, and justice in the
shape of gendarmes winks with both
eyes unless the murderer be very
unpopular. True he is termed a "bandit,"
and has to take refuge in the macqui, as the
natural bush is called that clothes the moun
tain sides. Well-informed Corsicans tell
one that there are at this moment in the
island over low) in hiding. But please un
derstand.
THE BANDIT IS SO BRIGARX.
Should you, defenseless, happeD to fall in
with him he will not take your purse, but,
od the contrary, will offer yon food if he has
it and shelter in his rave, and most probably
refuse any payment for his hospitality.
It is only his foe's family acain^t which
lie wages war and of coarse iv self
defense with the gendarmes. These
latter he will shoot with as much
unconcern as a woodcock. Aud yet,
though the Corsican will not rob you, it is
not because he does not love money. For a
very few francs, both Corsican gentlemen
and English residents aver, you can find a
man who will do your killing for you and
rid you of your enemy with knife or bullet.
And while this utter contempt for human
life prevails there cun be no hope of the
extinction of the vendetta.
An Euglish gentleman. Captain G., who
has now lived for some ten or filteeu years
in Corsica, on his own property, told me the
following story: It seems that one of the
employes of the former proprietor, fancy
ing he had some grudge against the new
owner, made himself objectionable by
breaking down fences, driving goats and
sheep into the gardens, and anuoying Cap
tain G. iv other ways. Captain G. hap
pened to mention the man's enmity, and
deplored it as unreasonable, both to a Cor
sican gentleman, a neighboring proprietor,
and also to a shepherd with whom he was
on friendly terms.
"Let me know if it continues," said the
gentleman, "and I will have the man taken
over to yonder rocks, and you wont hear of
him again."
"I will arrange for a little coup de fusil
whenever you like to give me 'the office,' "
said the berger.
THIS WAS FI-TEEX YEARS AOO,
But even now it is said there Is in Ajaccio
alone at least one murder a week, though
these outrages are a 9 Aushed up by the
authorities that it is difficult to get any
reliable statistics. 1 never, for instance,
saw ho account of any murder iv
the little local Fr-'ii-ii paper Le Rail
leinent, the only 01.. 1 think In Ajaccio,
but this proves nothing, for there was un
doubtedly one atrocious crime committed
in the village of liocogunun, about twenty
miles off, while we were at Ajaccio, for par
ticulars of which I vainly studied the col
ums of Le Kaillement. The official whose
duty it was to investigate the matter had
wanted to requisition from the livery
stable keeper the carriage I had bespoken,
so I heard the story from the man's own
mouth. The victim was an Italian who had
married and settled at ISocognano. The
Italians are called lucquas by theCursicnus,
and come over from Italy in great numbers.
They are very industrious anil do a great
deal of the hard work of the island. Their
example of industry excites the Corsican's
jealousy, but not his emulation, hence there
is little love lost between them.
It appeared that the pig of a Corsican
wandered near the open cottage door of an
Italian, ami to drive it off the latter threw
a stone, whereupon the wife of the Corsi
can indignantly demanded of her husband
if an Italian was to throw stones at a Corsi
can pig with impunity. The Corsican at
once went into bis house, and returning
with his gun, shot the Italian dead on the
spot. The murderer escaped to the macqni,
and is, I presume, there still, unless the
extenuating circumstances of the victim
being a lucqua has enabled him to return
unmolested to the bosom of his family.—

A MIXER'S MUSIC-BOX.
The Funny Time Millionaire Daly Had
Willi a I'rt-lant.
Marcus Daly, the mining millionaire,
who, with ex-Governor Hauser, controls
the Democratic politics of Montana, had
an experience at the lilchelieu on Saturday
evening which outstrips any of li is trials in
the rowdy West. Wheu in the city Mr.
Daly usually calls ou some friends
on Michigan avenue. An interesting
member of this family is a little
girl. The last time the wealthy miner was
here he promised to bring tho child, a
music-box on bis next visit.
Saturday morning, with this promise in
mind, he picked out a large instrument in a
downtown store and ordered it sent to the
Richelieu. It had been wound up, and
needed only the turn of a key to send forth
its music Later in the day Sir. Daly got
the music-box from the hotel office and
started out the front door of the hotel for a
carriage. in some way he accidentally
rubbed the musical Instrument against the
door, turning the key.
Just as Mr. Daly reached the sidewalk
"Annie Kooney" pealed forth from the box
under his arm. The Westerner put on his
spectacles and nimbly ran his lingers over
the box in the hope of finding something to
choke off "Annie llooney," but to no avail.
It was the first music-box Mr. Daly bad
ever owued and he did not know how to
choke it off. As he stood on the broad
walk in front of the hotel holding the queer
looking instrument, which was playing a
street air, he presented something of the
appearance of an itinerant musician, for
there is nothing about Mr. Daly to suggest
the possession of millions. His efforts to
stop "Annie" wero so ludicrous tnat a large
crowd soon gathered about him. The
wealthy miner did not seem to mind the
people till a messenger boy yelled: "Play
somethiu' else!"
At these words tho music-box switched
off into "McGinty." The old miner could
stand it no longer. Dropping the box down
on the walk be sneaked through the crowd
and into the hotel rotunds, from where . he
sent one of the bell-boys for the runaway
music.
To make matters worse Mr. Bemis and
Mr. Haggiu, who had seen the perform
ances from the hotel windows, twitted Mr.
Daly so unmercifully about his musical at
tainments that they drove him to drink
and they went with him.— Chicago Tribune.

loaded with millions of minute animals too small to

Good News!
No one, who is willing to adopt the right
course, need be long afflicted with bolls, car-
buncles, pimples, or other cutaneous erup-
tions. These are the results of Nature's ef-
. forts to expel poisonous and effete matter
from the blood, and show plainly that th- '
system is ridding itself through the skin of
impurities which it was the legitimate work
of the liver and kidneys to remove. To re-
store these organs to their proper functions,
Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is the medicine required.
That no other blood-purifier can compare
with it, thousand? testify who have gained
Freedo. __
from the tyranny of depraved blood by the
use of this medicine.
" For nine years I was afflicted with a skin
disease that did not yield to any remedy
until a friend advised me to try Ayer's Sarsa-
parilla. 'With the use of this medicine the
complaint disappeared. It Is my belief that
no other blood medicine could have effected
so rapid and complete a cure." — Andres
D. Garcia, C. Victoria, Tamaullpas, Mexico.
"My face, for years, was covered with pim-
pies and humors, for which I could find no
remedy till I began to take Ayer's Sarsapa-

cine effected a thorough cure. I confidently
recommend it to all suffering from similar
