SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
New YORK, Feb. 26.-The Herald prints
a half-page exhibit Of the retail liquor
traffic in this city, with diagrams showing
an amazing disproportion OF rum and beer
shops to other places of business, there
being over 10, 200 such saloons, or one to
every 125 inhabitants, and in some dis
tricts $50 rum shops to a mile square. The
various shops and stores where bread,
meat, and groceries can be procured, foot
up 1925, or in other words, there are more
rum shops thar food shops in New York
by 2. 749. The statistics have been gathered
under the auspices Of the new temperance
movement, whose first public meeting is
held this evening at Steinway Hall, backed
by the strongest names in the city. 1t is
an extension OF the movement begun in
London, fostered by the church, and aim
ing the restriction Of liquor traffic within
reasonable limits, without enforcing total
abstinence as obligatory upon all individ-
usis. A strong committee will be appointed
tonight to effect a reduction of liquor
license in the city, the closing Of illegal
and disorderly saloons, and for the preven-
ton of rum-selliug to minors and intoxi-
Gated persons.
Red Clouds Speech.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Tbe Sioux chief
Red Cloud had a hearing before the Com
mittee on Appropriations to-day. He is
seeking payment for horses, blankets, ETC.,
taken for use Of the Government by Gen.
Crook. He spoke through an interpreter,
and was quite earnest in his manner The
committee declined to take action on ac-
count of the shortness of the session, but
told Red Cloud he must come before the
next Congress. This was a Disappointing
announcement, but the chief took it far
more good naturally than would have
been the case with many white claimants.
Following is Red Clouds formal address:
Il am an Indian. Look at me. My name
is Red Cloud. I have sense. The Gov
eminent, through General Crook, in 1876,
took ~wropgfully COS horses from me and
my people. I have sense; SO have my
people. l represent them. I am in want,
and have a large family. Secretary Teller
asks me to take cows for ny horses. II
the Government gives me all the cows
they have already promised I will have
more kline than we can milk. I am a man
of sense. 1 want money to pay my debts.
Law chief, pay me not in COWS, but in
cash. l am pleased at peace; let me re-
main thus"
The Rival Slugsers.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 26.-The excitement in
pugilistic circles over the respective mer-
its Of Sullivan, Slade, Mace and other RI
val sluggers has been at fever heat for
several days. R. 4. Fox is here, and says
positively that a match between Slade and
Sullivan will take place within six mon tbs,
probably in Louisiana or Mississippi. Dur
the past week the Mace-Slade combination
has been giving sparring exhibitions in
the Monumental Theater. Wednesday
evening both men lost their tempers, and
their friendly bout became one OF a san
culinary nature, Mace getting a black eye
and a battered nose. They go to Washing
ton from here.
A Desperate Negro.
GREENSBORO, n. c., Feb. Pa negro
named Jerome became enamored Of the
beauty of Mrs. William Terrill, the wife Of
a we'll known citizen. When Mr.. and Mrs.
Terrill we're asleep the negro got into the
house, crept into bed with them, and with
knife and revolver in hand woke Mrs. Ter
rill, and told her he would kill her husband
if she walked him, and made a base propo-
sal to her. She awoke her husband, and a
fearful struggle ensued. The husband dis
armed the negro, who in the curse of the
melee fatally hurt Terrill's son, 10 years
old. The negro was finally o~verpowered
and locked up. 1t is believed he will be
lynched.

New YORK, Feb. 26.-Sara Bernhardt's
husband has written to the Golois that he
will leave the theater for the army. He
says: France, which treats my wife as

enoun my dream of being an actor,
and this very day will enlist in the foreign
legion, and I solicit the favor Of letters Of
accommodation"
