Farmers C'apturedby Indians.
BLUNT, Dak , Oct. '27.—George Bur
ney, Edward Loomis, William Dehar
tig, W. Duggins, and F. E, Lump,
farmers living near Blunt, having first
obtained permission from a deputy U
nited States marshal, went on the Win
nebago Indian reservation to catch
driftwood from the Missouri river. A
band of Indians came up and captured
their five teams,fired upon the farmers,
caught and beat them, and then bound
them hand and foot and took them to
Fort Thompson, where they are still in
captivity.
A CONFIDENCE GAME.
How a Sharper Worked a Few Cum
berland County People.
Bast week a well appearing man, giv
ing his name as Martin, his residence
Harrisburg and his occupation cattle
dealer, made his appearance among the
farmers In Hempstead township and
stated that be wauted to buy a farm.
The Meclmnicsburg Journal says that
after looking around and receiving a
number of refusals, he dually agreed to
buy ihe farm of William Logan for the
sum of $5,000. He than made himself
familiar with quite a number of the
well-to-do farmers In that neighbor
hood, won their confidence aud then
played his game—the chief tacket. He
made a number of small purchases
offering in payment in each case a check
for a greater sum of money. The checks
were accepted, and the differei ce
banded him, which he pocketed with
many thanks. This work lie continued
until he had secured something like
seventy-five dollars in money, when he
left the neighborhood, and the inhabi
tants who treated him so nicely are
now bewailing their sad fate.
SHOCKING DEATH.
A Mall Currier's Horrible Death
Struggle With Sharks.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 27.
James E. Hamilton, the mail carrier
between Miami and Lake Worth, on
the Bouth Atlantic coast, was devoured
by man casters at the IHllsboro lulet
Tuesday. He was a stout, athletic
young man and carried the mails be
tween the two places a distance of sev
enty-five miles, on his back, walking
on the beach most of the way. The in
let is a dangerous crossing, the back
waters of the Everglades meeting the
tides and producing heavy and danger
ons seas. Sharks of the most ravenous
kind abound there. An old fisherman
who was within half a mile of Hamil
ton when he began crossing, desciibts
the tragedy as a borrib'e occurence.
When Hamilton reached the middle of
the inlet sharks flocked about his boat,
leaping ten feet or more out of the
water in their eagerness to get at hu
man flesh.
Hamilton fought them with his oars,
but soon they were bitten off and dashed
out of bis bands. Then tliey assailed
the boat, tearing out huge pieces of the
gunwale. Soon it began to sink, and
Hamilton became stupid with fear. A
nother blow on the frail boat, and be
was thrown headlong into the mas 3 of
fierce seawolves. One shriek of agony
and all was over. The sea was dyed
for yards around with bis blood. Search
ing parties were sent out, but nothing
was found. Hamilton's death was such
a horrible one that no mail carrier over
that route has since been secured.
REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY.
Rev. J. H. Beule and Dr. H. C. Mc-
Cook on the Personal Llbei ty Cry.
The Philadelphia Times prints the
following expressions of opinion from
Rev. J. Hervey Beale, for twenty years
pastur of the First Presbyterian church
of Kensington, and Dr. H. C. McCook,
pastor of the Tabernacle Presbyterian
church who is a well-known and ardent
republican. Mr. Beale says :
•Perhaps it may be expected by my
congregation that every .minister will
put himself on record in this matter of
personal liberty. I don't fear the issue
when the matter comes plainly befoie
us, and we are called upon to meet it
face to face. I believe in but one flag
for our country, for I fought and have
no sympathy for a black flag, or > red
flag, or any other kind of anarchistic
flag. There is but one flag for a united
country, and all others must submit to
it.
I was very much amused during the
past week by receiving three or tour
papers in which there were editorials
in reference to personal liberty and the
desecration of the Sabbath, urging all
ministers to preach from their pulpits
and in their private conversation to a
rouse the masses against it. When I
remember that those very papers,above
all others, have been more outspoken
and have done more than any others to
create this feeling of deseerating our
Sabbath and throw open on that day all
places of amusement, it is very eyident
that they have axes to grind, and I
shall certainly not turn grindstone for
them. I have democrats here in my
congregation andl respect them highly;
then why should I lend myself to a party
and pervert the sacred desk for the pur
pose of gratifying the whims of par
tisans ? When the election is over and
we can meet the issue fairly and square
ly upon the desecration of the Sabbath
and openiDg of the saloons then my
toDgue will be unloosed.'
After the sermon many of the con
gregation expressed their approval of
their pastor's course and congratulated
him on the stand he had taken.
When asked if he approved of the
religious feature of the campaign be
said he did not, and thought it was ab
solutely disgusting 'lt is especially so,'
said he'when we take into consider
ation that politicians who are so an
xious to save the Sabbath are, and have
been the worst desecrators of it. From
the leaders down they have mingled
Sunday after Sunday with the moßt de
based creatures.'
Dr. McCook says : It has seemed to
me that some newspapers of this town
liaye used tho Personal Liberty move
ment as a cry to call out the ministerial
influence in behalf of an endangered
candidate in the £ republican party. 1
deprecate and resent such a policy. It
is always a perilous business for any
party to seek an unlawful advantage
from ministerial influence. That ill
policy cost us the last presidency. Our
party leaders fished for the parsons and
caught a Burchard. It looks to me as
though they were in danger of making
the Barao mistake here in this cam
paign.'
llow n Boston Woman Surprised a
Visitor aud Was Surprised InTiirii.
Mrs. Y. is a brilliant-Boston woman
of abundant executive ability, shrewd
wit and delightful hospitality. Theex
igencies of her husband's business led
to the keeping of an establishment in
the West, where Mrs. Y. passes some
months of the year and where she en
tertains a great many people. One day
there was brought to Mrs. Y. the card
of an English gentleman, accompauied
by a letter of introduction from friends
of tho Y's abroad. The hostess went
down stairs and greeted the guest cor
dially.
'We are so accustomed to travelers
here,' she said, 'that we know just
what to do with them. We expect ev
erybody to arrive travel-stained and ex
hausted and we let everybody take a
bath the first tiling. I spoke to the
servant befoie 1 came down and every
thing is all ready.'
'But,' stammered the stranger, 'I
cannot think of putting you to solmucli
trouble. I '
'Oh, I know just how you feel,' inter
rupted Mrs. Y. 'A hath is the only
thing that restores me to my normal
condition when I've been traveling,and
you have come right through from
Boston."
The guest demurred, but Mrs. Y.
was too executive and too truly shop
table to allow his scruples to prevent
the carrying out of her kindly intent
The Englishman was shown up-stairs
to the bath-room, where it is to be pre
suiued he combined with the progress
of his toilet reflections upon the origi
nality and practicability of American
hospitality.
Iu due time the guest descended a
gaiu to the parlor, where Mis. Y. a
waited him.
'I hope you found every tiling to your
mind," she said.
'Oh, yes,' he replied, '1 have had a
delightful bath ; and now 1 must bid
you good afternoon, as I ha\e to catch
a train.'
'What I' cried the hostess aghast,
'You are not going ?'
'Unfortunately I must. I only stop
ped over a train to call on you.'
'Mercy !' she exclaimed in dismay.
'I thought you had come to remain f
You certainly cannot go away when I
haven't seen you at all ?'
'1 really must,' was the reply, 'but I
assure you that I have had a most re
freshing bath and I shall always re
member with sincere pleasure your un
ique hospitality.'
The story was too good to keep, and
Mrs. Y. told it at lier own expense,
greatly to the entertainment of her
friends, who declared that this fashion
of entertaining callers was one which
deserved to be widely introduced, as it
would solve many a perplexing ques
tion of the proper method of disposing
of guests who were not easy to amuse.

The Game of Progressive Observation
"Progressive Observation" is the
name given to a new Boston game that
has been taken up with interest in so
cial circles. It has an advantage over
"donkey parties," and progressive
euchre in that it teaches something
useful. The hostess provides five tables,
at each of which are seated four or five
persons, or even more if desired. Table
No. 1, or the "head" table, represents
the sense ot sight, the highest sense.
Table No. 2 is touch. No. 3 hearing,
No. 4 smell, and No. 5 taste. There is
a teacher lor each table, and the teach
er is supplied with a variety of objects
suited to the use of the table. For in
stance, the teacher at the sight table
holds before each player in turn a col
lection of small objects on a tray, and
alter the lapse of half a minute takes
away the tray and asks the player to
name the articles. Or the teacher
gives each person a single article, and
after a short inspection calls for an
swers to all the questions that can be
asked about it. Score is kept by the
teacher, and the player making the
least mistakes progresses to the next
table.
At the close of the evening the player
who has made the most "progressions"
is awarded the prize. The variety of
objects for the several tables is only
limited by the teacher's ingenuity and
the resources of the house. At the
"touch" table the players close their
eyes and depend on the sense of feeling
alone for their impression of the article
given them. This is not so easy as it
may be supposed. For the "hearing"
table a musical instrument may be used
and the test given on a note or combi
nation of notes ; or a number of thin
glasses may be used in a like way, the
player being asked to give the number
of a particular sound which is given
alone after being struck in a regular
succession. For the taste aud smell
tables the kitchen can be drawn upon,
and such things as flour,meat,powdered
maccaroni, corn starch, granum, and
others, whose taste and smell in the
raw state are either not yery pronounced
or not familiar, are good for the pur
pose.
The game is not so much like "child's
play" as may be thought. True, it had
its origin in the "plays" of kindergar
ten, but, as deyeloped and enlarged, the
idea proves very well adapted to the en
tertainment of grown people, who are
rational enough to like a little sense
with their fun.— Minneapolis Tribune.
THF. MAN (OULDSKLL GOODS.
The Story Told of n New York Drum
inor.
A New York merchant tells tho story
of a green drummer, who went out on
the road after the old men of tho nouse
had fulled to sell a certain line. The
merchant said; 'Well, lie was hack in
side of a week, and in that time ho sold
—I won't venture to say from memory
how many cases of goods, lint I re
member he did surprisingly well. And
what made his success the more re
markable, ho got his orders in the very
towns which my old salesmen that I've
mentioned worked to no puipose. A
long camo Porter's telegrams, 'send
two cases here,' 'send two cases there,'
'send six cases yonder,' etc. On his re
turn 1 invited him to come into my
private otlice, and congratulated him
on the work he had done. lie seemed
gratitled at my commendation, but all
he said was : '1 thought I 'could sell
somo goods for you, Mr. Holbrook.'
Then I sjnike to him about the largest
order he had secured, llis eyes lit up
as he remarked :
'it was a tough job getting that or
der. I thought at first 1 wns going to
lose it.'
'llow so V'
'Well, I went into the man's store
and talked to him most of the after
noon, but 1 couldn't fetch him. He
said he liked the goods ; he didn't kick
at the price, but he wouldn't decide. 1
went back to my hotel disappointed.but
after supper 1 felt better, and deter
mined I'd go up to his home and make
hiur a social call so that he wouldn't
forget me, you see V'
'Yes, I see.'
•Well, in the evening I called round
to his house about S o'clock. 1 didn't
know him or unv of his folks, and nat
urally felt a little embarrassed.
'Natura'ly.'
'Yes, but I told him that I disliked
hanging around a hotel and took the
liberty of calling on him. He answered
the door-bell himself and seeuied glad
to see me. He had four pretty daugh
ters and he introduced me to them and
pretty so<sn me and the girls were sing
ing some popular songs, as nice as you
please.'
'I didn't know you sang. Porter.'
'Oh, I sing a little, Mr. Holbrook. I
find it helps me in selling goods. Well,
after the songs, I sat down at the piano
and played the girls a new waltz or two
that they hadn't heard, and theu I felt
that we were real good friends.'
'And so you are a piano-player V
'Well, 1 manage to do a few tunes—
-1 find it helps in cur business, Mr. Hol
brook. The girls' father sat by and
seemed to be greatly entertained with
the music, and when I got up from the
piano he thanked me heartily. "Dou't
speak of it,' said I. Then the gir's and
1 got talking about one thing and a
nother and prettj soon 1 noticed a
banjo standing in a corner, decked out
with bright ribbons. I asked the girls
which one of them played it, 'and they
said they got it for ornameut, and that
none of them could play on it. So
greatly to their delight I got down the
banjo and gave them a lesson on it.
'Then the banjo is another of your
accomplishments, Porter V
'I own rick tfic sitings a little, Mr.
Holbrook—l find it helps in selling
goods. Well, I stayed until 11 o'clock,
and when 1 took my leave the father
and all his girls came to the door with
me and politely invited me to cull again
when I came to town. 1 didn't see
their mother. I prtsumeshe was dead,
but 1 didn't thiuk it proper to ask.
Next day I weut into the man's store
bright and early. lie tried to beg off
with taking one case of my goods, but
1 wouldn't hear of it. 'Take six or
nothing, said I ,* one case will help to
sell another.' Finally lie gave iu and
I ran to telegraph oflice aud sent
you his order.'
•Porter,' I remaiked, with as grave a
face as I could command as he finished
his narrative, 'here is one caution that
I must give you. Be careful when you
are off on the road to refrain from in
truding upon another salesman's terri
tory. To do so makes trouble in the
store.'
'l'll try and do so, but I suppose you
want me to sell all the goods I can, Mr.
Holbrook ?'
'Oh, yes. Let's see, Porter, what sal
ary are you drawing V
'feeveuty dollars a month, Mr. Hol
brook.'
'And you have been with us how
long V
'Two months on Thursday.'
'And you wanted how much wheD
you came ?'
'Well, I told you I thought I would
be worth $1,500 to you.'
'Very good, $1,500 it is, your salary
at that figure dating from the day you
began.'
'Thank you very much, Mr. Hol
brook—l think I can sell some goods
for you.'
Nuns Who Never See a Man.
The Via Merulana Convent,in Rome,
will remain in the possession of the
nuns unti' the death of the last of them
when the property will go to the city.
The sixteen remaiuing Franciscan
nuns, who are called the Sepulte Vive,
are still in the old monastery, where
they once received a visit from the
Princess of Wales. These nuns, some
of them ladies of noble families,observe
a very strict rule. Once entering the
convent they never leave it alive. They
never see men, not even the priest who
says mass in the chapel. The altar is
screened off and they can just see the
elevation of the Host. Through a small
aperture they receive holy communion.
Iron gratings and a linen veil guard
the small opening through which they
make confessions. They never undress
for repose, but spend half the night in
prayer, and keep, except in extreme
cases of illness, a perpetual abstinence
from meat. They make almost every
thing they use, even to shoes and medi
cines. If a parent of one of these nuns
dies ihe announcement is not made to
the nun herself, but it general terras it
is said that one of them lias lost by
death a lather or a mother, as the case
may be. — Boston Herald.

At Close tjuarters Willi, ltocky
Mountain Lion.
David W. Judd, of tho American Ag
riculturist, who makes annual tours
through the far western States ami Ter
ritories, uurrutes the following in the
November number :
One August afternoon we made the
ascent of Helen's Mountain, in tire
range forming the boundary of North
Park, Colorado, to catch a view of tho
su|>erb sweep beyond. It was a long
and wearisome climb, but the magnili
cent yiewa stretching far away in every
direction richly repaid us. Far below
lay the beautiful Estea Park, and ex
tending far us the eye could reach ap
peared peak after peak, many of them
covered with snow hero in July. Nes
tled beneath us several hundied feet
was a miniature lake covered witli ice,
which did not yield to the stones hurled
upon its surface.
After feasting our vision for some
hours we began the desoent, which was
very ditlicult, inasmuch as failing rain
froze as it fell. 1 took my cartridges
from my Winchester, fearing lest I
might slip and discharge them. Wheu
half waydown the mountain,we readied
a small plateau in tiie center of which
was a clump of cottonwood trees,
llalpli was iierhaps three rods ahead,
and Foly fifteen paces. I turned from
the path to this clump of trees for a
moment, thinking perhaps 1 might
start a cinnamon bear. Judge of my
dismay when a ltocky Mountain lion
suddenly sprang fiom tiie thicket, rest
ed upon a broken tree not twenty feet
away, and savagely glaied upon me,ap
parently prepared to spring upon the
intruder who had entered his lair. It
was a most exciting moment. 1 quick
ly brought my rille to the shoulder, and
aiming between his eyes, drew the
trigger to no effect. Again and again
I attempted to discbarge the rille, for
getting in 'the suspense that tire car
tridges bad been withdrawn. It was
indeed a trying ordeal. If I stopped to
remove what was an imperfect car
tridge and substitute another one, or if
I turned and tied, the glaring creature,
who looked to me as big as a buffalo,
would pounce upon me and tear me to
pieces in a jiffy. I did neither, but for
tunately bad sufficient presence of
mind remaining to whistle in a low
tone to Foley just ahead. lie turned,
and taking in the situation at a glance,
quick as a lightning fiasii sent a bullet
through the animal's heart. 'You look
a little pale, Mr. Judd,' he exclaimed in
a half humerous manner, as he quietly
came back to me. '1 do not tliiuk you
could blame any hotly for Ix ing rather
pale under Ithe circumstances !' I re
sponded. It was very fortunate for me
that I had no bullet in my rifle ; being
m such close proximity, I should un
doubtedly have shot high above the
point aimed at, and barely grazed his
skull, when tiie then wounded and con
sequently infuriated animal would
have jumped and finished melnslioit
order. On inspecting the surroundings
we found the remains of an antelope
close by, upon which the now dead "en
emy" had gorged himself. I am told
that when near evening one of these
mountain lions delivers its peculiar
roar, the antelope for a lon* distance
nround uic fairly terrorized and llee for
miles.
Unlike Mr. Roosevelt, I have never
killed Grizzlies at short range, aud I do
not care ever again to meet n lion under
such circumstances. He appeared to
be as large as any of the genuine Afri
ca*>B which 1 have seen in the menag
eries, and a few days after, at the rail
way station at Rock Creek, we saw one
of these Rocky Mountain lions, which
considerably exceeded in size the im
ported African caged near him. That
night around the camp-fire, the reader
may be sure we had a very exciting
story to narrate to Uncle Pierson aud
Auditor Weston, who had remained
in the valley while we made the ascent.
How Gypsies Fight Duels.
France recently suffered from an epi
demic of dueling, an epidemic which,
for the moment, seems to have some
what subsided, but 1 am of the opinion
that, eyen at its height, the feat of two
gypsies the other day at Albunuelas.
Spain, cannot be equaled by any ex-
I>erience under the French "code."
It appears that a number of the wan
dering tribe were enjoying themselves
drinking and singing, when a misun
derstanding occurred between two ot
the number who for a long time had not
been on good terms. Requesting their
companions not to disturb them, they
retired to a lonely spot behind a group
of isolated buildings and arranged the
terms of their singular encounter.
Each being of the opinion that the
other was a quite superfluous member
of the wandering community, they de
cided that the quarrel should be defi
nitely settled then and there. To this
end they bound themselves together by
the feet with a rope, and taking the
scissors with which, as professional
sheep shearers, they were provided, be
gan the bloody death struggle.
After half an hour their companions,
not seeing them return, and anxious to
know what they were doing, in spite of
their prohibition went in search of
them. When they arrived the frenzied
combatants were still fighting, but had
fallen to the ground and were strug
gling for the mastery in a pool of their
own biood. It was with the greatest
difficulty they could be separated, al
though they were both nearly dead and
coyered with the most horrible wounds,
a description of which I spare your
readers. Suffice it to say that they
were of such a nature as to render re
covery almost impossible, so that in
stead of their being one Gipsy less upon
the earth, as originally proposed, there
wil 1 probably be two.

The Train Dispatcher.
How few there are who, when riding
along in comfort and safety upon one
of our railroad lines, who ever think of
the olficer who is watching the progress
of their train, directing its movements
from station to station, and side-track
ing the numerous other trains upon tiie
road, in order to present a clear track
to the one in which you are really in
trusted to his vigilance and care. A
moment's neglect or thoughtlessness, a
a moment's doze in his chair, a single
glass of liquor to befuddle his brain,and
sudden death in its most hideous form
may be the lot of those whom it was
his duty to watch and protect. There
seems to be hardly any other position
among all the numerous avocations of
a civilized life culling for as great a de
gree of unrelaxlng watchfulness and
Involving so feuiful a responsibility.
Who are those who cannot safely al
low his thoughts to wander for a few
minutes during the day, and ao ob
tain some little relief from the pressure
of business cares V Hardly one except
the train dispatcher. For him there
must be no relaxation of the mind
while he remains on duty. Not a min
ute of day dreaming ; not an instant or
forgetfulness. So constant a strain,
ao great a responsibility cannot fail to
wear upon a m in'a life vigor and make
him old before his time.
When we consider the nature of his
duties, it must be a matter of surprise
that ao few accidents occur winch can
justly be charged upon the traiu dis
patcher. A thousand times a day does
be give orders fur the safety of the
truins under his direction and scarcely
once in the generation does the wearied
brain for an instant relax its watch
fulness. These men, in whose hands
our lives l.ave been placed time and a
gain, and who have safely carried us
through all the dangers which en
vironed us. are certainly entitled to at
least the degree of thankfulness that is
implied by an occasional remembrance
of their ex atence.— Railway Review.
