WAKEMAN FLASHES POLITICAL STKAWS rCOKBISrOXDEKCI OT THX DISPATCH.1 Newpokt. R. I.. June 1L It i pleasant to occasionally come to Newport. The vul jrar display on the part of the limp and halting aristocracy is hateful to see; but there is a good and olden face shining be signantly out of unpretentious plenty and a mellow perspective of historic age. Go where you will the eye ranees along mossy vails, by lane and Dy street; catches Ehim merings of light beyond vistas of overarch ing elms; rests genially upon stone cappings to which the architecture of our time is a stranger. Then, again, what a real age, for onr land, Is here. Prof. Eafn, of Copenhagen, be lieves the Old Stone Mill of Touro Park to be 800 or 900 years old, and a genuine relic of ante-Columbian Norse colonists. The City Hall dates back to 1763. On Clark street is the old Baptist Church, erected in 1735. The ancient Honeyman mansion, at the corner of Church and Thames streets, was built in 1704. Trinity Church, where worshiped the colonists, the British army of occupation, and finally the successful revo lutionists, has stood 144 years. The Chan ning house, on Thames street, was built in 1720. Scores oi mansions are here, built in the earlier part of the last century; while the famous Coddington house, on Spring street, has stood 249 years just as you will see it to-day. One can almost close bis eyes and see the ancient folk as they were once here; so much that was theirs remains. The flavor, the incident, the sight and sound of it all, come essilv enough as one wanders here. The stately wavs of the colonists; the rugged earnestness and often the arrogance ofthe British occupants; the daring and sacrifice oi the revolutionists; the lordly swagger of the rich old sea captains; the pleasance and grace of the French, when De Segur, De Iiinxun, Destouches, De l'Estrapsde, the Counts De Barras and Noailles, the Marquis de St. Simon, the unfortunate Chevalier De Ternay, and Bochambeau with his dainty, muff-coddled wrists, and with half-caught silhouettes of Washington and Howe and pretty Polly Leiton, and the sound of danc ing at Mrs. Cowley's famous Assembly Booms all irresistibly live with the old, old trees, thoroughfares and mansions. Annoor'i Colored Protege. Because I believe there is as great a pro portion of rich men as of poor men who are endlessly doing good for good's sake, and absolutely without other motive, it was a genuine enjoyment the other day to sit alongside "General Fonest," the colored smoking car porter on the "congressional limited" train between New York and Washington, and hear his radiant story how the richest man of Chicago, P. D. Armour, had taken him out of the bondage of inexpressible ignorance and made an educated, hopeful, happy man of him. "General Forrest" is probably the best known and best liked railway car porter in the world; and his life has been almost a romantic one. He was a picaninny slave, bonght in New Orleans with his mother, Ann Burr (and if black old Ann Burr is Iivintr, this little story may give! her yet a bit of earthly heaven), Jew years before the war by the after Arard lanious Confederate cavalry leader, General N. B. Forrest, for his Coahoma cnunti, Miss., plantation. Though but a mite ot a lad Forrest was fond of him, and kept him at his side as a sort of diminutive valet until the General's surrender at Gainesville, in 18G5. For a good many years "General Forrest," who thus honestly came by his sobriquet, knocked about like all the rest of the treemen flotsam and jet Bam of the war, finally securing in 1672 a position as smoking car porter on the through New York and Chicago trains of the Pennsylvania Kailroad. In 18 years he never was discharged, and never left the company's service but once. P. D. Armour was responsible for that. He had been to Washington and was on his way West. He had been enjoying a cigar in the smoker, and on Bearing Al toona wrote a telegram, which he directed the "General" to be very particular about witn the operator, at Altoona, as one word was not very clear. The "General" filed the message; returned to the car; and began his usual avocation, when not waiting on passengers, of studying his primer. Ar mour saw this with some alarm for the fate of his message; questioned him sharply; found that he could not read, but that his wits and memory served him in such exi gencies; and on leaving the car turned to the porter with, " 'General,' have you got band enough to go to school and be a man if somebbdy would send you?" "Golly!" responded the "General," "jess let somebody trv!" "All nghtl Go to school." With this Armour left the car. Some two months later, on his way to New York he found the smiling "General" attending to his duties as usual. Regarding him with severity Armour brusquely askea: "How's this, 'General?' I thought I told you to go to school." "So you did, for sure, Mr. Armour. But I I well, I jess thought you was a-fun-nin' me." "No, I don't 'fun' anybody. I tell you to go to school." "All right, I'll go sure this tine, if you say so." "Well, I 'say so.' Goto school, at once, anywhere yon like." Not another word was exchanged on the subject. But the "General" left the road; first located at Hamilton College, Virginia; changed from this to Wilberlorce College, scar Xenia, O., where he remained six years, leaving the same a well-educated man, and, as he says, "with no airs to be n rueacher or an editor," in the summer of 18S8, and at once secured a car on the "Con gressional limited," between New York and Washington. During all those six years, and to this day, Mr. Armour's tre mendous interests have never interfered with his writing this black man, at least once a month, letters containing expressions of friendship, encouragement, approval and drafts ranging from $20 to $50. He has ex pended fully $4,000 on General Forrest's edu cation and support; has made an educated and sensible man of him; keeps his picture on his desk in his office; both he and his son who, the "General" says, is as "plain as a shoe," treat him with the greatest friendship and esteem, and have neither ever asked so much of the ''General" as to brush their clothing or clean their boots. Every stsry should have a happy ending. This one will be so provided on the 19th of June. On that day "General" Forrest will wed one of the colored belles of Wilber force. Their bridal trip will be to Chicago for their benefactor's blessing; and I would like to be one to see them ascend the great marble stairs which lead to the millionaire's La Salle street office, ana witness the hand some reception when "General" Forrest and bride are announced within. Some FreildentBl Straws. "While in Paris a few days since a mem ber of the present French Cabinet, anxious to secure any sort of intimation as to Amer ican Presidential possibilities for 1892, pressed me so closely upon the subject that out of politeness, as a makeshift, I combined a reminiscence with the best guesses I could make upon a matter subject to such deep complications. The result of the conjnring may hate interest to others. Along iu the j last half of the fifties such Ulinoisans as Abraham Lincoln, E. B. Washburne, Bich ard Yates, N. B. Judd, Stephen A. Hurl burt and my own father, had a custom of frequently coming together at the old Tre mont House, Dearborn street, Chicago, for political consultation. My father had an odd habit of taking me with him to these meetings; seating me in a huge arm chair) and becoming utterly oblivious of my pres ence, while the political wisdom and cigar smoke of these affairs regularly forced me into a half seasick, sodden sleep. On one occasion, I think it was in the summer of 1858, when I had attained the advanced age of 10 years, I was in this usual comatose condition, when I awoke and found myself in Mr. Lincoln's arms. He held one ot my hands with his left hand, and, while discussing certain plans which were about concluded, with bis right hand was stroking my head in a gentle, fatherly way. Startled at engrossing so much attention from so great a personage, and blushing confusion at being found asleep, I made effort to es cape, my father meanwhile offering ample irrelevant excuses for my somnolent con dition. Mr. Lincoln held me closely, and at once quieted me with his simple, tender words. Among nis reassuring expressions were these: "Don't be ashamed to sleep any where, my boy. Sleepy boys make the greatest men. Why, now, we've got a boy down borne, about your age. That boy of mine just sleeps all the time. We call him "Sleepy Bob," to fun him a little. But ,1 often tell him, 'Bob, sleep all you like. If you'll sleep hard enough, you're bound to be President of the United States some dayl f Who knows, Bob?'" I stopped my story to the If rench Cabinet officer right there where Lincoln stopped his kindly prattle to me; but I have thought of what he said to me a million times since; and I told the curious Frenchman that it was possible, as the West must hereafter set the pace in these things, and wonld doubt less insist on controlling nominating con ventions, that there could be many less available Republican tickets named 'than Robert T. Lincoln, of Illinois, for first place, and Chauncey M. DepeV, of New York, for second. Then as to the possible Democratic nominees, I told him I thought there was just one man in that party in the West, impregnable from any previous doubtful associations; a man who would, if any Democrat could, secure a large and sympathetic following from among the vet eran war organizations; and who was as nearly as possible the one man the Demo cratic party could regard as an invincible leader. That man was ex-Postmaster Gen eral William J". Vilas, of Wisconsin. With him a wise political management would mate Governor Hill, of New York. While the friends of Mr. Cleveland wonld never permit either the nomination or election of Governqr Hill at the head of the ticket at this time, they would be easily reconciled to giving Governor Hill second place; and with snch a ticket a tremendous Western and Eastern enthusiasm, effecting a "united Democracy" in reality, wonld result; while the South, as usual, could be relied uj.on to take care of itself. True this is but a quick conjecture, im pelled by foreign curiosity in a high place, making obligatory the best answer possible from an American. But it will do no harm to put these conjectural tickets into "small caps," and let the people look at, and think about, them a little: Pbesidentai, Tickets fob 1S91 BEPDBLICAX.

DAVID BENNETT BILL, of NewYork, Origin of an American Word. There is probably no word more effusively or irradically fixed in the vocabulary of American slang than that one now exclu sively and universally signifying a mysteri ous, dnbions, yet powerful and all-sufficient, influence with, or over, political combina tions or dispensers of political patronage. Its use is quite as common and compre hensive iu all active business, and not un usually in social, and even in ecclesiastical, affairs. I refer to the word "pull." One has a "pull" at the White House; another has a "pull" iu municipal affairs; a clever clergyman has a "pull" at local, or gen eral conferences, with presbyteries, in church and missionary boards, indeed with his bishop or archbishop; and the schoolboy of 10 strives for a "pull" with his teacher or among the juvenile crowds whose affairs comprise the most important considerations of his daily life. The word has been edi torially deplored, assailed and unmercifully scourged and pursued, but alwavs comes out uppermost and goes straight on in its sen tentious work ana uses witnnaray knuckles and sturdy legs. Like one of "those grim and hardy wails of the street, that, home less, parentless and without ancestry, pushes himself, from the very aggressive power of his usefulness into position and place, "pull" may be now regarded as a naturalized American, and important enough in its hard-fisted place to deserve attention to its ancestry. Various philologists have already written essays giving "pull" distinctively American origin. By the purest accident of research upon another subject I discovered this to be incorrect. For its immediate parentage we must charge its obloquy, or credit its merits to the Irish. While recently in Ireland, engaged in an investigation upon certain of its resources, I came upon an old work en titled "A Statistical Surrey of Boscom mon," printed at Dnblin in 1832. Among the quaint and interesting recitals of a local nature to be found in this "Survey," is an account ot the rise and fall of the Argina Coal and Iron Company, in 1824, known as the "bubble year" of English and Irish speculation; and particularly of the re markable manipnlations among Lon don nobility and capitalists in a nearly successful effort on the part of an Irish engineer, architect und builder with the significant name of Flattery, to float a Roscommon bog and hole in the ground upon London investors lor $1,500,000; Flat tery's share of which booty was to be $100, 000". Although it was uphill work, and eventually became so glaring a fraud that Parliament investigated and put a quietus upon the scheme, the radiant enthusiasm of Mr. Flattery found lrequent vent, by letter, to his Roscommon friends. In one of these, dated London, November 30, 1824, (Ap pendix p. x.) is found our American "pull" in all its robust force ot application and in cisiveness. Mr. Flattery writes: "I have not sighned anything for them yet, tho' I have humbnged them out of 250, and got them to send of the work of the engine, which comes to 1,000. I have now a pull on them, and will make them do whats rite." Edoab L. Wakemait.

An English Traveler Has a Thrilling Experience in Hindoostan. SURROUNDED BT COUHTLESS APES And in Imminent Danger of an Attack From the Vicious Brute. THE SBOUX OP A SCOUT BATES HIH Duty had taken me to Dharmsala, a hill station considerably west of Simla. On the return journey I turned off the main road at Kangra. The object of the excursion was to see a neighboring shrine, much venerated by tbe Hindoos and called Jwalamookhee. Tne native pilgrims who come in thousands lodge in the open air under the trees and cook their own food; the rich bring tents for their accommodations. But there was no place for Europeans to lodge in except the usual "district officers' bungalow." This is always a small house with two or three rooms, built and furnished by the Govern ment and put in charge of a man servant, who both looks after it and looks to the wants of those who occupy it. In it the officers whom duty takes to snch out of-the European-world's places lodge and transact business during the few days of their period ical visits. To this bungalow, therefore, we went. On telling the care-taker who we were he opened the house, and while I went in and indulged in a very needful and refreshing wash he attended to my horse. These pre liminaries being over we sent him into the town for the double purpose of procuring us some food and of inquiring from the priests at what hour we might pay the temple a visit The main road passes through a dense wood not 100 yards from this house, which was more than half a mile away from the nearest part of the town. From the road a narrow avenue had been out among the trees to a small clearance around the house; otherwise it was quite buried in the wood. A SHOWER OF SDXIAHS. When the care-taker left me, I found the house stuffy and damp. It had probably not been opened or aired for days. The stillness around was oppressive. Not a sound was heard except the munching of our horse in the neighboring stable or the rare cry of a bird in the trees. There was noth ing in the bouse to read, and nothing to do. Moreover, I had had a long ride and felt rather stiff in the leg. So, rising from the chair, I strolled out of the house. After walking listlessly around it, and pacing the small cleared space in front, I followed the avenue to tbe main road, and then, return ing, passed into the wood, immersed in my own thoughts. It was literally a "twilight mood," for, though it was nearly noon on a bright August day, the trees stood so close and their leaves grew so thick that scarce a patch of snnshine lighted up a few favored spots. The giant branches of the grand old trees more than touched; they interlaced and formed a leafy canopy overhead, with just,here and there a rent to admit a ray of light and to give a glimpse ot the bright blue sky above. Sauntering under these trees, I suddenly became conscious ot noises in the branches above me. I looked up and about, but, though the branches stirred and tbe leaves moved, I could see nothing. I was not, however, long left in doubt or speculation. A monkey, a large male, dropped from a branch to the ground at a distance of about 30 feet in front of me. As he reached the ground he squatted on his heels, resting both his hands on his knees and gazing fixedly and solemnly at me. His gravity upset mine. Then near him another mon key dropped down; a third and a fourth fol lowed. It began to rain monkeys. In tens, in scores, in hundreds; old, middle-aged and yonng; large and small; males and females many ot the latter carrying babies, some on their backs, others in their arms kept dropping from tho trees around me. I was standing under a mighty giant of the forest, and against its trunk, some five feet in diameter. I set my back as the monkeys in their hundreds squatted down in an irregular semi-circle around. They did not go behind the tree, for its trunk was much wider than my back, and they chose to sit only where they conld see me. Around they left a clear space, but at the distance of about 30 feet they sat, huddled close together in several rows, 600 and more in number. SACRED ANIMALS IK INDIA. It may be said in passing that monkeys are sacred animals in India. They are fed and protected, and allowed to roam" at large with impunity. Vast num bers in fest Delhi, Agra and other large towns. At Benares they are a perfect plague. In so favorable a situation as Jwalamookhee, they naturally multiply beyond reckoning, and' people the woods in sufficient hordes to account for the hundreds that now surround me. At some distance beyond several young monkey urchins, which preferred play to curiosity, kept suspending themselves from the branches in long chains, holding on to each other's hands or tails, and swinging them selves pendnlum-wise to and fro. They were not the small, puny creatures generally seen in European menageries, but the real, genuine Indian Hanooman, of which race the large and strong males stand, when erect, fully four feet in height, There were many such, among others of smaller size, in tbe crowd around me. It had not taken three minutes to form that solid semicircle ot monkeys. They had come down as thick as a shower of hsil stones, bnt so softly and gently had they de scended to the grass and leaf-covered gronnd that scarcely any noise has been made. For a short time they sat motionless and silent, staring hard at me, and a baby monkey, having made a noise, was instantly smacked by his mother in a most human fashion. They looked at me, and then they began to chatter first one, then a few together, then many at once, finally all in a chorus. They talked, chattered, jabbered, discussed, ar gued, shouted and veiled, gesticulating meanwhile, making faces and grinning. Suddenly there was a dead silence for a short interval, during which they gravely stared at me harder than ever. Every now and again ne or another or several at once would grin, snarl and growl at me, showing their large canine teeth. Again the chat tering discourses would be renewed. A BAD FBEDICAHEXT. I kuew that one or two would hardly dare to attack a man, but when hundreds crowded together around one stranger the circumstances were far from encouraging. Here I was unarmed, nothing but a light riding whip in my hand, surrounded by hundreds ot monkeys, to which my white face and European dress were evidently ob jects of as much aversion as curiosity. Na tives they did not mind, but Europeans they seemed to regard with the hatred due to in truders. . I fully realized my danger, but continued calm and collected and reasoned the position ont with myself. The only chance of safety was to remain quietly against this friendly tree, silently observing the monkeys, care ful to give no offense or provocation, watch ful to give them no advantage over me till the return of the caretaker or some other chance came to my aid. Had I attempted to strike them or to frighten them, or to break through them, or to flee from them, I have not the slightest donbt that I should not now be writing this ac count. Their enormous numbers would have emboldened them to any act. I should, have been quite helpless in their grasp would, indeed, have been pounced upon by scores of them, overpowered, beaten and torn to pieces. So, making a virtue of necessity, I kept up a bold front, watched, waited and prayed. In one of the intervals of silence the great monkey Ihat had first arrived and. that .ijt- PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, seemed to be one of the leaders, suddenly hopped nearer to me two feet or so. His ac tion was immediately imitated by all the monkeys forming the front row of the semi circle, while those behind closed up as be fore, and tbe semi-circle contracted around me by two feet in the radius. "More chat tering and gesticulating followed, more growling and grinning, with Intervals of silence. They had a great deal to say, and they all said it, and it was all about me, too, for they frequently pointed at me with their hands and snarled and gnashed their teeth at me. PREPARING FOB ATTACK. Again they contracted the semicircle, as before; and so they kept gradually coming nearer and nearer and growing more and more excited. Still I remained quiet and silent and still in the distance the monkey youths played the mad gambols of their liv ing pendulum, heedless of what engaged the attention ot their seniors. All else was si lent no sign of man. The semicircle bad gradually contracted to within 14 or 15 feet of where I stood; the monkeys indeed were so near that in two or three leaps they could easily have jumped upon me. I felt decidedly uneasy; wondered how they would attack me and when. From the right, or the left, or tbe front. By jump ing on me from a distance, or waiting till quite near? Then I wondered whether the caretaker would return in time to stave oS the assault, for I was still qnite close to tbe house. Of the dreadful re sults of the attack, if once made, I had not the slightest doubt. Still I remained lean ing immovable against the tree, calm and cool, facing them straight, looking fully into their faces, all in turn, and showing outwardly no signs of flinching or alarm. Yet I began to think that it was now only a matter of a few more minutes. Before a quarter of an hour at the furthest they would be within touching distance ot me. They would be sure to begin to handle my clothes; and whether I permitted it or re sisted or tried to fly, I would with equal certainty be attacked and killed. But my deliverance was at hand. In the midst of one of the most noisv discussions or did it not seem more noisy because they were now so near? they one and all became suddenly silent and perfectly still. They seemed to be listening attentively. I lis tened, too, but at first could catch no sound anywhere; tbe stillness of death was all around, for even the yonng monkeys had ceased their tricks. A STAMPEDE TO THE WOODS. What could have disturbed and silenced the noisy throng? Next from afar off came the loud cry of a monkey evidently the warning call of a scout on outpost duty. Then, first faintly from afar, and then gradually nearer and louder, came, down the main road through the woods, the wel come sound of the clatter of a horse's hoofs at a swift walking pace. This it was which their quicker ears had detected lone before I had heard it. They kept their ground for a few moments more, but their attention was now evidently divided between me and the approaching horse. Again, and nearer, the scout's cry sounded through the wood. There was an immediate stampede. One and all the monkeys rushed off to the neighbor ing trees, and, scrambling up the trunks and into the branches, they were in a twink ling of an eye lost to sight in the leafy canopy overhead. They had disappeared in their hundreds as rapidly as they had come, save when the rustling among the leaves in dicated their course as they passed from tree to tree and fled further into the woods. I waited still against the tree till tbe horse and his rider a mounted policeman going his rounds had come quite near, then I made for the house and bolted myself in, thankful for the timely arrival and in voluntary aid of the unconscious patrol. Unknowingly, but providentially, he saved my life. Chambers' Journal. GIANTS, BUT WITHOUT HONET. A Russian Family of Aspiring Immlsranta Detained nt Now York. SPECIAL TBLtOBAM TO TUB DISPATCH. 1 New York:, June 13. A family of Bus sian giants were landed at the barge office from the steamship Westernland. The grandfather, Johannes Mohr, 81 years old, is the colossus of the lot, measuring nearly six and a half feet in height. His sons and nephew are broad-chested six-footers and his grand children, the youngest of whom is only 9 months old, look as if they were going to be big folks some time. The family party consists of 14 persons. They want to go to a near relative, who owns a farm ont in Sutton, Neb., but- they have only $10 among them to pay their fare. They say they loaned some unfortunate countrymen who came over on the Western land all the rest ot their money. They think that tbe Nebraska farmer may send them enough money to pay their way home. The big fellows are farmers and look as it they could endure lots of hard labor. They will be detained until the Nebraska farmer is heard from. 10 HELP TEE WORLD'S FATE.

GLEANINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS The International Snnday Sohool Con vention, which will convene at Exposition Hall on June 24, promises to be one of tho great religious events of the year. From 1,000 to 2,000 delegates are expected, and all parts of Christendom will be represented. Last year tbe convention was held in Lon don. It was a compliment to our city that it should be chosen next to the world's me tropolis as tbe place of meeting for Sunday school workers from all lands.- It is said that Pittsburg, however, was selected for reasons not complimentary. It seems that by some oversight of the Allegheny county Sunday school representatives at the London convention very meager statistics of the Sun day school lorce of this region were presented. The total Sunday school mem bership for the county, as reported, was less than tbe actual membership of Allegheny City. The poor showing for our county, it Is reported, led the convention to select this city as tbe place of meeting this year In tbe hope of ex citing greater interest in the cause in this un enlightened region. The religious activity of Braddock seems to bo keeping pace with its business activity. New churches are springing up, with every prospect of great usefulness ana success, it seems that every denomination ot Christendom promises to be represented at the place where Washington first won tbe laurels which paved tho way for his leadership In tbo founding of the American Bepublic BRADDOCK'S IfEW CHUBCHS. Aproposiof the dedication of tho pretty new Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Bethel Church at Braddock, which took place last Sunday afternoon with appropriate ceremonies, being built at a cost of 58.000, another church dedica tion is set for next Sunday. The First English Lutheran Trinity Church, Rev. Charles Reine wald, pastor, which is located on Fifth street, will be dedicated next Sunday evening with impressive ceremonies. Tne Sunday school of this church will hold special services in tha afternoon, relative to the dedication. Abont 15 Lutheran ministers are.expocted to take part in the dedicatory exercises. The Bt.

The following Sunday, June 22, is set for the dedication exercises of the handsome brick ed ifice, on Burton street and Parker avenue, the new placo of worship of the First M. E. Church congregation. Strenuous efforts are being put forth for the consecration of. tho new All Saints' P. E. Churcb, located on Sixth street, nearBraddock avenue, also on tbat day.

WOMEN WHO PBEACH. There is coming ere long a great controversy In the Baptist denomination, says the Collo quium, on tbe question of tbe admission of women to the ministry. Here and tbere they are invited into the pulpit, and one at least has been "regularly ordained." It bas been askeu: If a woman has ability enough to be principal of a high school, may she not suc cessfully minister to a little country churchT If sbe can teach a Bible class of young men and women, and even one in which are old men and old women, why can she not preach to them7 If she may write a book like "Urace Iruruan," or even a theological treatise by which ministers shall be instructed, why may sbe not address a congregation of 60 sitting in tbe pews? If a woman missionary like Airs. Ingalls can be a sort of bishop giving instruc tions not merely to female converts but also to native preachers, why can she not preach her self? But on the other hind, what will you do with the words of Paul? 'I here is material here for a very lively discussion, and tbe next 20 years will see it agitated in tbe Baptist de nomination. President Harrison and family were down at Fortress Monroe in the United States steamer Dispatch last Sunday, says the Pittsburg Christian Advocate. They went on shore for service in tbe morning, and at 5 o'clock in tbe afternoon set sail lor Washington. There are people in this country, not cranks, either, not holding any such high place or grave responsi bility as tho President of the United States, wbo would not have sailed on tbe Sabbath day.

OIL IN C0LOKAD0. EXTENSIVE' OPERATIONS IN THE NEW PETROLEUM FIELD. The Various Companies are Knpldly Putting Down Wells Some of the Dole nre (ending Fourth Generom Streams Bo- fluerlea Running Steadily. Flokem ce, Col., June 13. The Boeky Mountain Oil Company is ready to begin drilling on its first well, and on Monday morning the boiler will be fired and the en gine started in drilling No. 1 well. The site selected is one and a half miles south of the city, quite close to the Florence and Coal Creek Cemetery. There are wells north, west and east owned and operated by the United Oil Company, and there is scarcely a doubt but what the Bocky Mountain people will strike oil on the spot chosen for its first well. A large water tank will be erected on the ton of Kendrick mountain, an eminence two miles south of the Arkansas river. A site for a pumping station at the river has been selected and work upon the same will be started in a few days. A three-inch pipe line will connect the station and tank. From the tank will be laid other lines into all parts of thecompany'sdevclopmentfield, the elevation being such as io furnish ample pressure to any part of the field. General Manager Coon is pnshing work in every direction with considerable vim, and says it is his company's intention to sink ten wells before it stops the drill. No. 2 string of tools is en route from the East, and another well will be started upon their arrival. The William Graver tank builders of Chicago have the contract for building 11 crude tanks for this company and are at work now upon the same with a large force of men. The Triumph Oil Company continues to push its business. The No. 1 well is throw ing a good stream of oil. No. 2 hole, in course of drilling, is down probably 1,500 feet, with good prospects of striking oil be fore it reaches the 2,000 mark. It has started another derrick and will start the drill iu it as soon as No. 2 is completed. The refineries of the United and Florence companies are running steady and turning out u great deal of oil for tbe summer sea son. The United Oil Company is not drill ing any new wells at present, but is trying to increase tbe flow of some of its old wells by sinking tbem deeper. The Florence Oil and Refining Company is running a string of tools on new holes, being engaged at present on its i tee nth hole. A better leeling exists here this year than ever before concerning the future oi the "Western oil city. Property has advanced a peg, tbe merchants report better trade and the laboring classes are at work, getting' good wages. DOCTORS GO HOME. The End of the 'Annua!

Suitable Provision for Widows, Orphans and Dependent Parents. AN AGEKT TO HATE CUT A $10 FEB Among the many pension bills intro duced in Congress during the present ses sion, one that has attracted as much atten tion as any is known as the Morrill depend ent pension bill.
