Capt. Jack Interviewed-Pers of
the Savage Leaders.

[Tule Lake June 81 Cor. San Francisco Bulletin.l
BY permission of the officer of the
guard, L had an interview with Jack
through the medium of an interpreter.
At first he was reticent. In fact, he did
not deign to notice me. His sister Mary
interceded in my behalf and persuaded
Jack to talk. His remark was in rela-
ton to the shackles. He said it made
him feel mean to be habited like horse.
He was not afraid to die, and had no
idea of running away. AS he spoke his
eyes snapped, and he looked very lion
i'll rage. All questions pertaining to his
fight he declined TO answer. When
asked his age, ile gave me to understand
that he was 80. He then voluntarily
started upon a statement of his griev-
ances against his race at the time of the
Ben Wright affair. He said that the
white men murdered Indians years ago,
and that what he did was only paying
old debts. He did not enter into details,
but left the interpreter, Scar-Faced
Charley, to patch up the story.
A critical study of Jacks face cor
roborates the impressions received at
first sight. He is a thorough Indian.
His head is large, quite square, and for
the present sets firmly on his shoulders.
His eyes are black and bright, his face
broad, with prominent cheek-bones.
His nose is symmetrical and slightly
aquiline. His lips are thin and clean
cut, and, combined with his chin, indi-
Gates that resoluteness of purpose that
has won for him such remarkable
notoriety. His complexion is dark, and
his face has pleasant look. Take him
all in all, he is a striking man. Place
him among thousands, he would be
taken for a chief by any observing
stranger. Those who have seen him
marvel not that he is leader of the
Modocs. Though in chains and on the
brink of eternity, he is yet feared and
respected by the Indians about him.
His nearest companion in chains,
Sconchin, is 80 years of age, and
wrinkled, and has the villain depicted
in every line of his face. He wears his
hair short, and stands about five feet
nine inches in his moccasins.
Boston Charley is about % years old.
His face is expressionless. He, Nose
and Sam are very ordinary looking In
dams. Jack would attempt to escape if
he had chance, even at the risk of
being shot down. Probably he never
realized that death was inevitable until
the irons were placed upon his feet.

An Old Time Parallel for the Recent
ButcherieS i'm Kansas.


The recent revelations in regard to the
atrocious murders committed by the
Bender family, in Kansas, will probably
recall to the minds of some of the old
citizens of Charleston similar series of
murders that occurred near this city
more than half century ago. In that
day there were many little wayside inns
scattered along the public highway.
Such an inn was kept few miles from
Charleston. 1t was kept by man and
his wife, who were accounted honest and
withal prosperous persons Their hostel
ry was convenient to the travelling pub
lie, and therefore popular. Occasionally
traveller would suddenly disappear in
very mysterious and unaccountable
manner but no suspicion attached to
the hospitable inn-keeper and his wife.
Fathers, sons and mothers going to or
from Charleston, would suddenly be
missing, and no possible clue to their
whereabouts could be obtained.
One night a belated traveller, on his
way to Charleston, stopped at the inn.
Sitting at the fire, in the bar, slipping his
toddy, it suddenly occurred to him that
the actions of his host and hostess were
somewhat peculiar. The fate of other
travellers in that section probably made
his sense of danger more than usually
acute, and he resolved to be sharply on
the alert. He was shown to his room by
his obliging host, and when the steps of
the latter died away on the stair, he
made careful inspection of the sur
roundings. He discovered, among other
things, that the bed upon which he was
expected to sleep was ingeniously fitted
in slides, SO that it could be lowered
with ease to the ground floor beneath.
Other circumstances convincing him that
he was in trap of some kind, he blew
out his light and patiently awaited de-
velopments. A little after midnight he
heard stealthy steps on the stairs, and
he Immediately put himself in position
to defend himself. The steps drew near
er and nearer, and finally the door, which
was guiltless of either lock or latch, was
cautiously opened, and the hospitable
host stepped in. The traveller felled
him with a chair, and made his escape
to the city, closely pursued by both man
and wife, who followed him nearly to the
city limits. Information was at once
conveyed to the authorities, and guard
was sent out to the inn, and the wretches
arrested. The investigation that fol-
lowed revealed a pit below the room, in
which the traveller was to have rested.
In this pit were found the remains of all
who had so mysteriously disappeared.
The spectacle was most CHASTITY one;
and the revelation of such atrocity Gre
ated, in that primitive day, II much more
intense thrill of horror all through the
country than the Bender butcheries, and
justice was swift in overtaking the muir
derer and his accomplice. Charleston

A Temperance Lecture.

A man died in Worcester, Mass, the
other day, whose career ought to be for
young men the most etfectual of tenn
perance lectures. Twelve years ago he
was young lawyer in Connecticut, of
uncommon abilities and brilliant prom
Use. He entered the army, and rose to
the rank of colonel, but he became adj
dicted to drink, and rapidly sank to the
grade of common drunkard. While
intoxicated one night, in low den in
this city, he was "shanghaed aboard a
bark bound for China. The vessel was
wrecked off st. Helena, and he with
several others were rescued and taken
to Cape Town. Here, while engaged in
debauch, he was arrested and impris-
oned, and afterward hired to a Dutch
farmer, where he worked with Hotten-
tots. Escaping, he shipped on trading
vessel through the straits of Madagas-
car, where he deserted and lived for
some time among the natives of the
island. Narrowly escaping murder, he
afterward put to sea in an open boat,
was picked up and taken to Cape Town,
and then to Singapore. For several
years he wandered about in China and
Japan, poor, drunken vagabond, finally
landed at San Francisco in state of
beggary, and made his way across the
continent. His friends heard of him as
bartender in miserable saloon in
Elizabeth, n. s., sick and broken down,
and took him home to die, WORKOUT
debauchee at the age of 36.

A LITTLE schoolgirl in Danbury has
lately had her dinner stolen. No clue
could be obtained of the thief, although
it was sought with tears. Finally mild
plan was hit upon. A tempting dough-
nut with a filling of Cayenne pepper was
placed in herpail, and the result watched.
Before noon little boy was seen at the
pump, working it in lively manner. 1t
seemed as If he had had two hundred
pairs of arms he could have used them.
The fire was put out, however, and
enough of the structure saved to take
across the knee for few minutes.

OPIJM EATING AMONG ANIMALs.-The
agricultural Gazette of India is re-
sponsible for the assertion that, when
animals have once learned to know the
taste and properties of opium, they be-
come as fond of it as human beings. In
China, it is necessary to fence the poppy
fields very carefully to keep out the cat
tie. Horses and cows that have become
accustomed to being fed on peoples
sicken and die if deprived of them.
Hogs fed on poppy heads fatten quickly,
but they must then be slaughtered.
Bees prefer this to any other food, and
rats come to opium factories to enjoy
breathing the very dust of it.

The Coati-M -Mondi.

Sailors from South America occasionally,
among other pets, bring a small animal,
which. on account of its long nose, they in
variably call an ant-eater. Thus was lit
lie stranger introduced to our care few
years ago A glance was enough to see that
it was no ant-eater at all, but pretty fe-
male Coati- Mondi. Gallant Jack Tar, her
master on ship, unconscious Of the incon-
gruity, bad made namesake of her, and
called her jack Science had already named
her Nassau, and in matter-of.fact way, for
she word interpreted just means-Nosie.
The animal was about the size of cat, with
a coarse fur, of brownish hue on the back
and sides. and underneath shades from yel-
low to orange The long tail was ofnauent-
ed by a series of black and ycllowish-brown
rings. Her nasal prominence reminded me
of a queer Spaniard once employed in the
government services to detect spurious coin.
His "ccunterfeit detector" was sensitive
proboscis BY sticking this organ into the
glittering heaps, he literally "nosed' out
the bad from the good To that man his
nose was the instrument Of his profession.
and to Nasua her nose was equally import
ant. 1t even prompted nick name and n
Juvenile .pun-"Nosie's nose knows too
much"
Unappcasably inquisitive, she was incos-
sanity intruding that organ into everything.
Having made no allowance for an extra
tropical temperature, this little South Ame-
rican made failure in an attempt to lift
with her nose the lid of a pot in the cooks
domain. The next attempt, successful one,
was on the knife box, whose closely fitting
lid Eas pred open, and every article inspec-
ed in happy ignorance of the proyerb about
edged tools. It was enough that anything
was hollow to excite her curiosity, which
was Of thoroughly similar type. The din
ner-bel was turned over. but unable to de-
tach the clappcr and chain, it was soon
abandoned in disgust. a round sleigh-bell
received more persevering attention. Un-
able to get her nose or paws into the little
hole at the side, the clatter within set her
wild with excitement, and evoked q desper
ate attaclron the little annoyance with her
teeth. She then gave it up as bootless
lob. 4 bottle Of hartshorn was next made
the subject of investigation. We had pur-
posely looscncd the cork. and promised our
selves a nice sell" and We got t-not No
sic. She was not in the least Disconnected
by the drug. In fact, she had a strong nose
ior such things.
4 man gave her his tobacco-box. Rest
ing it on the floor between her two paws,
which possessed uncommon aexibility she
turned it over and over, round and round,
exercising alternately her nose, claws and
teeth upon it with great energy, but to no
avail. it seemed as il the smell Of the con-
tents infatuated her as she showed no dispo-
sition to stop. The man opened the box for
her. She was in rapture. In went the nose,
also both front paws. Very soon that won
dcriul Woble organ had separated every

dirty pipe. when her velyety nose was in

NELSON'S EXPERIENCES IN ST. PETERS.
BURG.

Nilsson has been telling New York
reporter about her reception in Moscow
ana st. Petersburg. In the latter city, she
says, her benefit night was something to
be borne in sensitive remembrance by her
to the latest day Of her life. The poor
students came pouring out in scores they
surrounded the doors of her hotel, and
when she was about to enter her carriage
several Of them seized her, and, inspired
10y an enthusiasm which, in spite of its
violence, never even lost q respect that
seemed to border on reverence, took her
IN their arms and bore her in triumph to
the thea'cr, and others, each with light
ca fambeau in his hand, forming q pro-
cession. The whole city was alive with
these frantic worshipers, and finally the
police turned out in full force, holding
themselves in readiness in the event Of
fire. During the performance at this
theater she was recalled forty five times,
and the stage was absolutely embedded
with flowers, upon which it was neces-
sary for her to walk several yards before
reaching the foot-lights. Finally. in an
swer to the general acclamations, the
artist was compelled to seat herself at
piano, which was conveniently near, and
sing one or two of the Russian national
songs, the audience meanwhile standing
and the royal family uniting, up to the
last moment, in the popular enthusiasm.
AS the opera had been ''Miguon.'' and as
the heroine had her hair streaming over
her shoulders, the effect was extremely
unique and picturesque. But the honors
which Nine Nilsson reaped in St. Peters
burg assumed sometimes a grotesque and
eccentric shape. 1t was all very well to
receive especial gifts of value from vari-
Gus members of the royal family, and to
be invited to court concerts, but the to-
kens ofregard present :, by the students
must have sometimes sorely tried the
equability of the artists nerves. On more
than one occasion, incredible as it may
seem to colder-blooded Americans, some
OF the students, in company with not
few officers of dignified rank, prostrated
themselves on the ground and welded
themselves into floor upon which Nine
Nilsson was obliged to walk in order to
reach her carriage. This was too much,n
said the speaker, her eyes glistening at
the remembrance. ut was really too
trying to an artists feelings to expect her
to accept it. But there they were, and
what was to do? At my concerts the
people behaved so sometimes that was
frightened" Being requested to mention
the particulars, Nine Nilsson said that the
people rushed to the edge of the stage,
snalched at the hem of her dress and tore
it into fragments, caught her and held her
so that she could not move, and left her
in condition that must have resembled
that of the ''priest all tattered and torn"
They stole her gloves, her fan, her hand
kerchief, her boquet, and almost took the
slippers from her feet. The prima donna
who would go unmoved through such
scenes must needs have steady nerves
and strong constitution. So far as en-
thusiasm goes, a St. Petersburg audience
is the beau ideal. Nothing to compare
with it is seen elsewhere.
