THE HON. MIR. TWO BELLIES.
How the Distinguished Mr.. Schurz wa
Greete d i'm the Land OF the Crows.

From Gray Clih Letter in the Inter Ocean.
The Gray Cliff large encampment of about
three hundred wigwams, was found to the south
of the road. Here it was that the Indian war
dance was to take place. This point is about
$50 miles from st. Paul and distant some twenty
five miles from the Crow Agency. The Indians
who were seen, numbering about 1,5OO, had
been induced by the promise Of big feast to
come to Gray Cliff with their wives and child
rem, their ponies and dows, wigwams, ar-paint
and all other appurtenances of savage life, in
orderthat the visitors might have an opportuni-
ty of seeing the "noble red man" in his original
condition Of life.
feature Of the day was the arrival on the
scene OF 1.-TWO Bellies" chief of the Mountain
pony, one leg done up in a bandage and wearing
anything but the uniform OF civilization, when he
made his appearatce. The arrival of such dis
tinguished parsonage was. of course, Immediate
ly noticed and the first person to grasp his hand
and bid him welcome was the Hon. Carl
schurz, who was Secretary of the Interior and
In charge Of Indian affairs when Senior Two
Bellies was prancng around the mountains
with his Winchester and in his war paint seek
Ing visitors to his country, with desire of CIV
ing them warm reception. He greeted the
Secretary with much cordially, and evidently
took great pleasure in referring to the past, as,
through his interpreter, he was compelled to do
most Of his travelling on horseback, owing to
the unsatisfactory working Of his right leg.
where one of Uncle Sans boys had incidentally
planted f0rty-two caliber memento Of his
| friendship for L0 some few years back. The
ex-Secretary and the warrior spent some mo-
ments in a pleasant interchange Of "Hows.'
Another distinguished chief was presented to
the visitors and made telling speech, which
in substance was as follows: you are having a
good time and am glad of it. If had known
you were coming should have had my hair cut
In honor Of the occasion, but as it is am

Child.

A special from Caywood. Washington county,
Ohio, gives particulars of revolving case of
chld-murder which occurred at Middleton, q
small hamlet near Caywood. A young woman

sticks, where was found the dead body OF an
infant The girl testified that she witnessed her
mother wiring the chld's neck and then strike 1t
on the side Of the head. She also says that her
mother compelled her to carry the body out to
the garden and bury 1t, and that she threatened
to kill her If she told anybody about the MUIR
its neck found to be broken. The woman, upon
being confronted with the corpse, acknowledged
that the child was hers, but denied having

He says Aggie Hill IL the Tool Of a
Biackmn iling Gang.

Ex-senator Sharon, Of Nevada. arrived II
New York city the other day. In conversation
with reporter of the World, the Senator said
that his visit to this city had no connection
with the notorious charges made against hin
by Miss Hill.
II am ready to meet those charges here. in
Nevada. San Francisco, or anywhere" said he
'They are false and untrue, and have been
sprung upon me for Matchmaking purposes
Miss Hill is being used as atool by set Of sharp
ers. l have nothing to conceal, either in my
relations to Miss Hill or to any other woman
and am perfectly willing that the widest pub
licity should be given to any act of NINE"
''On what does Miss Hill base her charges?"
ION written document which she pretends
to have in her possession. She claims that it is
signed by me, and that in it acknowledge her
as my wife. l do not know whether she has
such paper at all, but II so and it contains my
name denounce it as an Infamous forgery.
"a man named Nelson is the leader Of the
sharpers; at least that is the name he goes by.
1t is not his right name. He is convict from
Sydney. He was detected in forgery while q
member Of the Australian legislature. He es-
capped to this country and for some time has
been writing articles in a scandal-mongering
sheet"
HAS he ever been in this sort of business be-
fore?'
"Oh, yes; he makes it his professionalism
there's money in it. He prosecuted DR.. Smith
in the same way some time ago. He seems to
look upon it as mission to avenge the wrongs
of injured womanhOod, provided he thinks it
will pay. Well. but he and mis- protege will
find out that they are mistaken before I am
through with them"
'When did you first hear about this written
document"
''Only short time ago. It is dated before
Miss Hill was driven from the Grand hotel in
San Francisco, about eighteen months ago.
This fact makes it appear very strange to
me. The proprietors of the hot ell
would not put this shame and Inconvenience
upon her if she had shown them the paper. l
don't believe she had it then to show. 1t is
more likely it was fabricated afterwards. At
any rate it is an absolute forgery"
Changing the subject, Senator, what are the
prospects of the silver mines in Nevada?'
VERY poor. l believe them pretty much all
exhausted. especially the Comstock lode. When
you have dug down 5000 feet for the precious
metal and found none believe you can safely
conclude there is none to find. Still keep up
my interests in the Nevada mines and my citi-
zenship in that state, though l am at present
residing in San FranclscO'

SLAIN FOR FASHIONS SAKE.
The Way Little CalifOrnlans Bring
Down the Lovely mming.Birds.

From the Santa Barbara Press.
During the last two or three years, or since
fckle-mnded fashion has decreed that birds as
we'll as feathers should be used to ornament the
heads of the elite of feminine society, a new
source of revenue has been opened to the ma
tives of southern California. Santa Barbara
being 1.-THE land of flowers" is necessarily the
home of the delicate little humming- bird, which
lives upon the distilled pollen or bee food of our
gaudiest flora. In glass case upon the counter
within the drug store of A. N. Ruiz was dscov-
cred two rows OF dead humming- birds, each
with their little "feet turned up to the daisies {"
"The trade is a recentlydeveloped one" said
Mr.. Ruiz. ''It is less than three years old, but
it is steadily growing. We do not propose to
engage very largely In 1t. as it Is not exactly in
find a profitable market for all we can obtain"
"How do you obtain these humming- birds p
queried the reporter.
1.-The little boys bring them IL. There are
four or five little Californans who live in or near
town who are experts with sling shots a skill
fully manipulated improvement upon the contri-
vance used by David to kill Goliah. Small peb-
bes or teaspOonful of small bird shot is used.
and when propelled by our little humming- bird
hunters usually bring down the bird. These
little hunters bring in on average about five
"Why do they not use nets? It would not
destroy or injure the delicate plumage of these
little BIRDS"
'Nets would be better, 1 believe, but the little
Spanish children are used to their little sling
shots, and are as skillful with them as are their
fathers with the tiara, and woe to the humming
bird at which one of these little boys discharges
q charge Of pebbles or bird shot,"
lis there money in the business?''
"NO, not worth speaking of. I paw from ten
to fifteen cents each for the birds and then
dress and stuff them and ship them to San Fran
cisco. Then l am paid at the rate of fifty cents
each for the female common bird and seventy
FIVE cents each for those male birds of the bril-
liant plumage."
"Is there more than one variety of hummlng-
bird in the market2"
Eyes, We have four. There is the fiery or
that bird you see there with the red flaming
throat. Then there is the sulphuretted or yellow
bronzed bird. Next the ordinary male. which
has a green and red plumage. and last, the
brown, unbrOnZel female bird"
"What Is the extent Of the trader"
"Last year we sent of less than q thousand
birds; we could have found q market for at least
three times the number exported"
In continued conversation it was discovered
that while San Francisco obtains q large propor-
tiGn Of these delicate little birds. the best and
prettiest are selected and shipped direct to the
fashion centers In Paris and London, where they
command high price.

FALL STYLES FOR MEN.
the Boston Notions ~ to Hats, Shoes,
Gloves and Conea

From the Boston Herald
The fall style in hats is but q slight exaggera-
tion OF last winters fashion. The silk hat is
made with bell-shaped crown and very large
orim, with only moderate roll With one
class OF young men hat 80 large as to border
on the ridiculous is in great demand. This
style is very English" which may account for
the demand. The crush or opera hat follows
always the general style of the silk hat. never,
however, quite reaching the limit of the style
attained by it's silk brother. The Derby hat for
street wear is worn large. with what is known
as the English shovel brim, which is fiat and
straight at the front. and with q decided curl
at the sides. The soft hat Is worn very little
the Baltimore" lowcrowned head covering.
being the style. If, indeed. it can be said to
nave style. few gentlemen will wear the
sou nat when In evening DRESS but 1t Is con-
sidered bad form" and the crush will probably
always hold its own as the proper head cover
ing for evening use.
The extreme tightness of the trousers makes
narrOw-toed shoes necessity, and it is probable
that the fashionable young man will continue to
suffer until larger "spring" to his pantaloons
gives him chance to wear once more the easy
but hOmcly broad toe Shoes will be made dur
Ing the coming season, upon English lasts. Dark
uppers have taken the place of the brighter
colors. The shoe for every day wear will be
laced, or gaiter made in imitation Of the laced
article. For evening wear, the low patent
leather pump will still be worn, although the
silk topped shoe, which is an almost perfect
counterfeit Of pump and black silk stocking, is
becoming more and more popular.
Gloves In tan cOlOrs with embroidered stitch
Ing are still fashionable for street wear, while
the ne-fngered mitten with fur binding at the
wrist will be worn for winter driving. Gloves
with evening dress will not be worn.
The fashionable canes are made Of light mate
rial with oxidized and engraved silver crooks
and cross bars. The English buckhorn Is also in
great demand.

A REAL NECESSITY.-We pre- sumo
there is hardly a lady to be found in oul
broad land who, if she does not already
possess a sewing machine, expects some
day to become the owner Of one.
The household of a young wife is now
considered incomplete without sewing
machine.
Next to her lover the thought upper
most in the mind of the maiden just
blooming into womanhood is sewing
machine.
When asked by her parents or affianced
what her Christmas or birthday present
shall be, the answer in majority of
cases is, "A sewing machine"
But after the mind has been fully made
up to purchase one of these Indispensable
articles, the question arises as to what
kind of machine to buy.
1t should be so simply constructed that
the most inexperienced can successfully
operate it. The other points mainly to
be considered, and which are the most
desirable, are durability, rapidity, capac-
ity Tor work, ease of operation, regular
ity OF motion, uniformity of tension. and
silence while in operation.
The ''Light.Running New Home" fills
the above requirements, and is said tc
combine the good points of all sewing ma
chimes, with the additions of many new
improvements and labor-saving devices.
The price is no higher than that of
other machines. and every lady who is
the happy possessor OF one may rest as
sured she has indeed treasure.
