The Cabinet Meeting

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-At the cabinet
session to-day Secretary Schurz stated that
he had received report from the Indian
agent at the Cheyenne agency to the effect
that information had reached that place of
the United States of Chief Sitting Bull,
with his people, AID that they are exceed
ingly anxious to return to this country and
come under the supervision of the Indian
Bureau. and be distributed in the Indian
country as are other tribes. This news is
not confirmed by any information at the
war depar ment, but was thought worthy
of consideration. and led to some discus
sion in the cabinet 1t is reported 5000
lodges or Is 900 people are with Sitting
Bull. The subject will receive the imme
date attention Of the president and the
| secretary of war and the interior depart
meDt. kilograms will be sent to officers
| of the war department as well as to the
| Indian agents, requiring them to give the
authorities here all information they can
obtain on the matter. The report is that
Sitting Bull comes with the most pea,
able intention, but in the present dis
turbed condition OF Indian affairs it is not
known what may be his Il Gaming Another
subject of discussion was the bill for the
payment Of arrears of pensions, which re-
Gently passed congress- Discussion was
not as to whether the bill should be ap.
proved or signed, but as to the results oI
Its being carried out. Secretary Sher
man and Secretary Schurz bott
made statements as to the amount which
it was estimated it would call for. Secre
tary Sherman placed the figures at abou
I$l50,0O0,000, and said if that amour
should go out of the Trearury it would
create a deficit. Secretary Sohurtz's es
innate, which was from the Commissioner
of pensions, placed the amount at $4,000
900, There was no decision as to how th
bill should be dealt with

An Arizona Venus.

Miss Carrie Burns, in chmpany
with her father, passed through Ell
Moro yesterday, on wild mustang,
en- route for Kansas, from Tucson,
Arizona, come seven hundred miles
away, and have yet some six hun.
bred more to make before their
journey is ended. Miss Carrie has
rather a pretty face and impressive
fcrm-not such one as the young
man of to-day with the blonde
moustache and hair parted in the
middle would select to whisper
sweet sentiments over the garden
gate to-but a girl for an Indian fight
or a "bsr" hunt you could rely on
every time. She sported nary dia.
mond nor coral necklace, but was
muscled like an Amazon, and had a
fist like Morrissey She was a
girl of nerve, too, we reckon, for on
her saddle hung Ballard rifle and
a brace of Colts revolvers. She in
formed the writer that she had seen
much of life in the past twelve
months and but little of newspapers,
and was anxious to know what was
going on in the world. We gave
her copy of the Weekly News and
the Denver Tribune, which, woman.
like, she placed with blush in her
bosom, thanking us at the same
time, and went on her way rejoicing.

The above is not true. And as

its readers and exchanges that its

PetersOn's " HOllar Series."

In the annals of modern book
publishing nothing has been accom-
plished to approach in excellence and
cheapness the Dollar Series of Good
Books" published by T. B. Peterson
& Brothers, of Philadelphia. Some
of the very best works in contempo-
raneous literature have already been
given q place in this series. Not
only have the publishers culled in
choicest fields for rare works, hut
they have enshrined the worthy
works selected in slightly and durable
baskets, and wisely and praiseworthy
they have ignored the catch-penny
device of printing famous work
from worn type on paper of wretched
quality and then binding it badly in
flimsy paper covers. As a continual
ton Of this remarkable "Dollar
Series the Mcssrs. Peterson have
Just issued Woman's Wrongs" by
Mrs. Eiloart, being an entirely true
yet graphic description of the legal
wrongs that English wives and
mothers wed to worthless husbands
are compelled to endure. Since the
days when Charles Dickens wrote in
the prime Of his great powers there
has been no such arraignment of a
bad English law as Mrs. Eiloart
truthfully and powerfully portrays in
this wonderful and absorbing novel.

VERY SINGULAR.
A Boy Struck by Ball Of Fire in
Paterson, New Jersy.

NEW YORK, March PA singu-
lar phenomenon happened at Pater-
son, N. j., at 9 O'Clock Saturday
night. Edward Braine, Is, and
Robert Duroe, II, were on their way
to grocery store across a vacant
lot. when Robert, looking up, saw
coming down in an oblique line a
small bolt of fire, which struck Ed
ward on the left breast, passing
under his coat and exploding IN a
MASS OF FLAMES
Over the boys breast and side. In
the boys left hand, which was par
allel with his side at the time, he
held a silver quarter dollar. Both
bows were frightened, and, the night
being dark and stormy, they ran
through into Mechanic street, into
the grocery store kept by man
named Cox, who Immediately
stripped off young Braine's
BLAZING CLOTHES,
Thereby saving his life. The boys
coat was burned off on one side, his
underclothes were burned down to
his skin and his side was badly
scorched and blistered; the end of
his thumb, including the nail, was
pared off, his left hand was badly
burned, so that now it is swollen up
to twice its usual size, and the
twenty-five cent piece which he
held in his hand
WAS PARTLY MELTED.
The boy was Immediately put
under medical care. His injuries
are painful, but not dangerous.
Had the fiery mass struck him on
the head or face 1t would probably
have killed him. One of the most
mysterious things about it is the
character or composition of the
meteor, whether it was wholly
A GASEOUS SUBSTANCE
Or partly solid. The Braine boy
saw nothing. He only heard a
kissing noise over his head just as
he was struck. The other boy is an
intelligent little fellow who was
about | 5 feet from him. He saw the
ball of fire coming very distinctly.
Young Brain6 did not feel any
shock as from a solid substance, but
sort of heavy thud, which seemed
to paralyze him for moment. If
any solid substance accompanied
THE BALL OF FIRE
1t must have grazed his side and
passed through his coat to the
ground. The surrounding flame
striking his body, spreading over
his clothing and igniting his coat,
he was so badly burned that it was
impossible to ascertain from its APP
pearance whether this was probable
or not. Search was made for any
thing having the appearance of the
meteoric stone, bat it was not dis
covered. The ground was wet and
soft at the time, and il any solid
substance fell it probably went into
the earth out of sight.

MiddIe-Aged Men.

There are many at the age OF thirty to sixty
who are troubled with too frequent ovacua-
tion of the bladder, often accompanied by n
slight smarting or burning sensation and a
weakening of the system in manner the
patient cannot account for. On examining
the urinary deposits a ropy sediment will
often be found. and sometimes small particles
OF albumen will appear, or the color will be
Of a thin milkish hue, again changing to n
dark and torpid appearance. There are many
men who die of this ditficulty, ignorant OF
the cause, which is the second stage Of semi
nal weakness. DR.. 5. will guarantee perfect
cure in all such cases, and a healthy restoror-
