SITTING BULLS DOUBLE LovE.-Cath.
Ollie circles have been looking forward
with unusual interest this month
TO the expected admission of the great
Indian chief. Sitting Bull, into the Cath
Ollie Church, religious event. il was
anticipated, would take place before Oct.
1. Word was received in this city yes
terday, however, that tells of probable
ity that the famous warriors reception
into the Church will be delayed for
time, even it ever takes place. Sitting
Bull is at Fort Yates, where he has been
under the instruction of Bishop Marty
for long time. 1t was thought early in
the summer that the Indian would be
prepared to assume the full obligations
of Catholicism sometime during Septem-
Der, but an unforeseen obstacle WAS met in
the shape of two wives, neither of whom
Sitting Bull could make up his mind to
part with, The rules of the Catholic
Church make it imperative that such be
done before it will receive an applicant
for admission, and until the red man can
bring himself to put aside one or the other
of bis marital companions, he will be de-
barred entrance. Milwaukee Sentinel
The ringing of the curfew bell was

ga NIGGER ON The FLOOR

In January, 1861, says the Ohio State
Journal. General A. O. Voris was a
prominent member of the House from
Summit County at the time referred to.
John M. LangstoD, Colored man,
resident Of Lorain County, being visitor
in the hall of the House, Mr.. Voris in
vited him to seat by his side within the
bar. Mr.. Laugston had been sitting
there but few minutes when Major
Tanneyhill, the member from Holmes
County, and, of course, a Democrat,
arose and addressed the Chair. ''Mr.
Speaker" said he, 81 observe that there
is a niger on the floor of this house, sir,
and l demand that he be at once elected"
1t is impossible to convey any idea of the
bitterness and contempt which he threw
into the term "nigger." But the words
had no sooner fallen from his lips than
Voris was on his feet, most thoroughly
excited and indignant. Said be: "Mr.
Speaker, the gentleman by my side, to
whom the member fromHolmes refers with
such ungentlemanly rudeness, was my
classmate and is my friend. He is the
peer of any member on this floor, and if
any Luhn udAcS W say hhuA Ou HlH Wy
way of executing the demand of the
member from Holmes, he does it at his
peril" For few moments the scene
was a stormy one. The Republican
members rushed to where the excited
speaker stood, while some OF the Demo
ocratic members gathered near Tanney-
hill. Mr.. Langston who shrank from
nrominence or nOtOriety. wished To leave
the ball, but Mr.. Voris held him in bis
seat. There were more angry and excit-
ed words, but order was soon restored,
and Mr.. Langston was not mOleSted.
The war began three months later. Voris
entered the service and rose to the rank
of brigadier general, and received a griev-
Gus wound, which almost cost him his
life. MIR Langston, though then we'll
known and prominent person in Ohio,
has filled larger place in public esteem
since, and is at present United States
Minister to Hayti.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE POLICE RroReANIzArroN.


'Phe present appears to be an opportune time
to call the attention of the new head of our
police force to the necessity of some radical
changes, not only in the personnel of tho force,
but in the regulations which govern them.
These suggestions have been made in the past
through the public press, and by letter to Mai
Brock but he disrcgarded them, to the detri-
ment of the service, as is generally believed,
and certainly TO his own injury.
And first us TO the force itself There are
some surface indications that fine personal
appearance, glossy boots &C., and sudriter IN
mOdo are to be the chief prerequisites in the
new era. / think / speak for thousands when
] say that we would prefer that politeness
and "nobbiness" " be not made the chief vr-
tues. Wo need an infusion of brave, alert,
and active men-quick stepping men. There
are too many big, slow moving, Jumbo sort of
men on the force now. This kind may be
well enough to keep back crowd from pro-
cession, or other like duty, but when the
shades of night come down we need lively
guardians of the peace.
And then, more of tho,force should be re-
licved from day and put on night duty. 1t
doesn't require much effort TO preserve the
peace in this town during the day. The hood
lums are generally only active after sundown.
Nine-tenths of all the burglaries are done at
night.
Next, the promenades of the police in pairs
should be stopped. We are aware that THIS
method is the safest one for the force, but it
reduces the number practically one-half We
require policemen who wont need to be
guarded by other policemen, who are not
afraid to do what the private citizen is Obliged
to do--go about at night singly.
Next, no uniforms or big shields to be ex-
posed at night. Next, the regular monot-
onous patroling of well lighted streets should
he varied by erratic excursions through the
slums-the dark alleys, which are tho natural
lurking place of criminals Houses are
nearly all entered by this class from the rear;
notwithstanding this fact the most of the
patrol work is done on the front streets
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, will say that
FOR one do not believe and property of the
people of this district will ever be efficiently
guarded during the night season (they can
look out for themselves in the day time) so long
as the criminal class know as well as the
petrollmen the beats of each and Just when
tho two.hundred-pound "cop" may he ox-
pected to heave in sight at given point.

A BIG LIREL SItlT.
Fun OF Robbcr stories but Unproductivc
OF Funds.

OF FUNDS.
A law suit full of naughty stories and incl
dents of western robber gangs has been going
on in Judge Sirball's court in Louisville for
week or more. The James brothers figured
as in DRAMA and the governor of Missouri
came over to testify. IL was suit against
the Courior-JOuBdl for $4,000 brought by
Mrs. Httc's character. The story that n
CoWier-Journdl reporter told at the
time of the Frank James surrender
contained the statement that Mrs. Hite
was the mistress of jesse James.
The gang used to gather at the house of old
man Hite, down in Adairville, KY, and the
testimony brought out accounts of their wild
ways and unexpected appearances. Two
rooms upstairs were always saved for these
precious scoundres at Uncle Georges, and
finally two of the Hite boys went off to be
robbers bold, along with the rest. The woman
in court, who used to give Jesse his break
fast and, as the story went, too much ailec-
tion' was stepmother of Clarence and Wood
Hlte, the boys who went with the gang. 1t
will be remembered by the readers of robber
literature that Wood was shot in the back,
and Clarence was pardoned out of the Mis-
souri, penitentiary, to die as soon as he reached
home. No woman ever before started in to
patch up her character and came out with it
so ragged. The ncighbors hoclSed into court
iOhi bho IthuShotb mt ulu hMOEt lllub hlO
was good girl, and had made n good Mrs.
Hite. Then some more neighbors would come
up and relate in Il shameless way their ex
periences with her as u fast girl aud n bad
woman. The theatrical shows introducing
tho Ford boys were tame compared to this
case in court, for along with the scenes
from robber life and slaughter by the carload
were parlor pictures of what some vigorous
denouncer of such mawkish plays as "Di-
vorce," "Frou-FrOu" &c, has called "thc
beautifully social doctrine of seduce and for
get" Mrs. IIitc will so back homo without
either good character or $4,000. The story
of Gov Crittenden was what the boys call "a
corker," and seemed to spoil the case for the
old man. Crittendcn said that when IIite
came to have his boy pardoned he stated that
Jesse James had led both of his boys astray,
killed ono and caused separation between
himself and wife. Somehow characterless
people always make q bad mess of it in court
but the cases are not all so rich in robber
stories as this was
