SITTING BULL IN TOWN.
The Big Chief Enjoying the Good Things
of a Gotham Hotel.

Sitting Bull, the famous Sioux chief, ac-
companied by his wife and several Of his
followers, says the New York Herald OF
Sept. u, arrived in this city IRON the
Standing Rock Agency yesterday. They
were in charge of Col. Alvaren Allen,
who has permit from Secretary Teller to
take the party through the country for
educational purposes. The wife of Indian
Agent Mclaughlin accompanied the fe-
male members of the company.
When the Indians got out of the train
they ranged themselves around their old
chief, and their brightly colored raiment
made the group look like big bunch of
flowers. Sitting Bull looked much stouter
than when he surrendered at Fort Buf0rd.
He wore a shirt of marvellous uncleanli-
ness and wide brimmed felt hat. Long
Dog, an old Uncapapa chief, was attired
in green shirt and pair of trousers one
leg of which was red and the other blue.
He chewed tobacco and tried to buy the
club which the policeman at the ferry
carried. Crow Eagle famed himself with
the wing of hen and glOated over piece
of watermelon, and Spotted Horn Bull
nervOusly watched the engineer of the
train blowing off steam.
Besides Mrs. Mclaughlin were Mrs.
Bull, Mrs. Spotted Horn Bull and the
Princess Red Spear, Mrs. Bull was
dressed in green and her hair was tied
with red l. ather. She carried a sharp
knife in her left hand. Mrs. Spotted Horn
is Sitting Bulbs sister. She wore a yellow
dress and carried a red fan. The Princess
is beautiful Indian girl of sixteen years,
with coal black hair, snOw-White teeth
and raVishing smile, She does not chew
tobacco.

90 from st. Paul it cOllided with another
train. Gray Eagle stuck his head through
the glass window of the sleeping car to
see what was the matter.
The party went to the Grand Central
Hotel on their arrival in this city. Sitting
Bull and his friends were Immediately
given a bath. Then they were told that it
was dinner time and squatted about the
velvet carpet in the corridor. AS the party
started for the dining room Col. Allen
came up and shouted to Louis Primeau,
the interpreter:
"Tell the gentlemen to wait moment;
the ladies are having bath.''
Sitting Bull told the reporter that he did
not like the railways, but he would like to
have hotel on his reservation. He de-
clined TO discuss the merits of Blaine or
Butler, on the ground that he could not
talk intelligently till he had had several
beefsteaks. Soon Mrs. Mclaughlin, Mrs.
Bull and the others appeared, and the
company adjourned to a private dining
room. Long Dog spread his napkin on
his chair and sat on it. After eating a
plate of ice cream Sitting Bull said:
'Bouka boota tookash lata nee-nee Joo-
robOlala."
Which means:
THAT is daisy of dish; gimme an
other plate. Allow the Irishman to serve

About the most noticeable feature
oAthe campaign at present is the eff
fSft which the Republicans are making
to carry Ohio in October. They are
alarmed about the outlook in that state,
and are making extraordinary exertiOns
to avert what threatens to be a disaster.
There isn't a doubt IN the mind of any
shrewd, well-nf0rmed politician that it
would be disastrous to the Republicans
to lose Ohio in October. The loss of that
State next month would be a strong indi-
cation that Blaine is losing all over the
country, and thousands Of voters in ey-
cry Northern State, who are always
anxious to be on the winning side, and
who, perhaps, would vote for Blame If
Ohio went Republican in October, would
vote for Cleveland in November.
There is. therefore, very loud call for
money by the Republican managers. Inc
collectors are urged to do their utmost
to raise money not only from government
employes but also from the manufacture
ers. Ifreports are to be credited, argu-
tnents and threats are used to secure the
needed cash.
If Maine had gone Democratic, or had
given a very small Republican majority,
the Republican cause would have been
injured, but the respectable majority
which the Republicans got there did not
assist the Republican cause a great
deal, because at the beginning
Of the canvass the State
was conceded to them. 1t was expected
that they would carry it, and it was
acknowledged that Blaine's popularity in
his own State would help very materially
to swell the Republican vote. In fact,
the efforts which the Democrats made in
Maine in behalf OF the State ticket bore
no comparison to those made by the Re-
publicans.
The situation in Ohie is very different.
The Democrats have a fighting chance for
the State, and they are making the most
oft. If they are victorious it is reason
ably certain that they will carry the State
in November.
1t is alleged that the Republican Ma
tional Committee spent $269, 900 in Maine,
and that, besides this vast sum, Blaine
and his immediate friends distributed
many thousands Of dollars. If this state
ment is true it is not to be wondered ct
that the Republican managers are max
ing frantic appeals for money to be used
in Ohio. fit required so much in Maine,
where everything was favorable, the
amount which they wantfOr Ohio mustbe
immense. Their dependence on money
shows that their confidence in their abil-
ity to carry the State is not strong.

A LITTLE TRAGEDY has recently occurred
in Paris, the victim being a snow owl from the
Iceland mountains, and the offender stupid
Englishman. The owl was driven on board
transatlantic steamer during a storm in mid
ocean. and, being carried to France, was pre-
sented to the Jardin d'AcclimatiOn, where III
has lived six years. One day, however, the
Englishman appeared on the scene, bearing a
cane. He found the owl too dull to suit him,
so poked it, but in vain. He then lost his
temper. used more force, and killed the little
Waf. The sequel is suit for l,OOO francs.
THE key bureau-a scheme tnatreaches
the very acme of Yankee ingenuity-is being
established in Chicago. Membership in the
bureau costs twenty five cents year, and
each member is furnished with brass tag for
his key ring. which bears the following in
scription: 'The finder will please return
this bunch Of keys to the Central Police Station
and receive 81 reward " 1t is supposed that
whenever a bunch of keys is lost by member
of the bureau the finder, following the dlrec-
ton Of the tag, will take it to the police sta
ton where at a glance the name and address
of the owner can be ascertained by compar N g
the tag number with the corresponding num-
Der on the book left in the custody OF the police.
The scheme has already been tried and works
like a charm. A bunch of KEYS left on the
sidewalk recently was returned to the Cen
trail Station within an hour afterward.

A MELANCHOLY NoBLEMAN.
Count De Giverille Nearly Starves in
New York on the Way to France.

Count De Gfverille Nearly Starves in
New York on the Way to France.
The foreign gentleman who was sent to
Bellevue. Hospital from the Metropolitan
Hotel last Saturday because it was be-
| lieved that he contemplated suicide by
starvation, says the New York Herald of
Sept. u, turns out to be the Count lie
| Giverille. He has lived with his wife for
some time in st. Louis, in the family of
Alfred NJ. Waterman, whose wife is a
sister of the Countess.
The Count, who is tall, soldierIg look
ing man, about go years of age, entered
the Metropolitan Hotel on Aug. IL and
Louis" He avoided all society and
| seemed never to eat any food.
A fortnight ago, however, chamber
maid, being unable to get in pom, re-
ported the fact at the office, and@DetectIve
Dunno burst open the door and found De
Serville in bed, nearly unconscious. 1t
was found that he had eaten nothing for
five days except little milk and toast.
After two more days of voluntary absti-
nence from food the manager of the hotel
had him conveyed to Bellevue Hospital.
DR.. Wildman, who took charge of the
case, concluded at once that he was
suffering from melancholia, and did his
best to rouse him from his lethargy. Food
was forced into his stomach twice on
Tuesday and again on Wednesday. Vol
UNFAIRLY he ate nothing until yesterday
morning. His silence was as marked
trait of his disease as his abstinence from
food. Questions were addressed to him In
Spanish, French, German and English,
but he refused to utter a word.
The Counts friends in st. Louis say that
he has been respondent of late, and that
when his wife advised him to go to France
and visit his relatives in the hope that he
might recover his health, he took her adj
vice but went no further than this city.
The Count was Colonel in the French
army and had served under Bazaine at the
siege of Metz. The Countess was a Miss
Kingsberry, one of the heirs of the Kings
berry estate in st. Louis, and has been
living with her husband in st. Louis for
the past twelve years.
Warden O'Rourke, OF Bellevue Hospl-
tai, yesterday received telegram from
st. Louis from the Countess de Giyerille
stating that she would arrive in this city
tonight.

The Origin of the suez Canal.

That the Pope should have first con.
ceived the project of cutting the Suez ca
nal, says the Brooklyn Eagle, was rather
a surprise to NJ. de Lesseps, when the fact
was recently communicated to him. The
holy pOntiff, st. Plus v, whose name is
inseparably associated with the glorious
battle of Lepanto, had, according to all
documents discovered in the Piombino
library by Sig. Enrica Narducci, the
learned librarian and philosopher. con-
ceived the project and began to prepare
for its fulfillment. The proposal of the
Pope was highly displeasing to the re-
public of Venice, which considered that
its prestige on tae ocean would suffer it
the highway between the Indian ocean
and the Mediterranean were constructed.
sig. Narducci conveyed his discovery OF
the fact to M. de Lesseps, who admitted
that he had never known it previously.

Eli Chandler,s Indecency.


A CHASTITY act of indecency was com.
united at the funeral of the late Judge
Folger. The solemnity of the occasion
was invaded by the receipt of telegram
from James'G Blaine to Secretary Chan
dler, announcing that the Republican ma.
iority in Maine would reach 1900, and
Chandler had the dispatch posted up in a
prominent place while the obsequies were
in progress, so that Blaine Republicans
present might read it and be edited, while
consigning to earth the remains of one
whose death was fastened by the very
faction which now exulted over Blaine's
alleged personal triumph in Mainel The

An Honest Party.

At the great Democratic ratification
meeting at Washington last week Sena-
tor Jones, Of Florida, in the course Of a
very able speech, said that the Democratic
party was in power twO-thirds Of CEN
fury, and the stencil of corruption never
emanated from it.
One Of the strongest reasons advanced
for turning the Republican party out Of
power is that it is so corrupt
that it is dangerous to longer en-
trust the control of the government to
it. 1t has been scarcely a quarter of
century since the Republican party came
into power. and for the greater part of
that time it has been noted for its corrupt
practices.
1t has not only degraded the public SER
vice in order to accomplish its purposes,
but it has Overridden the barriers of
the constitution in its efforts to re-
main in power.
The man chosen for its standard bearer
in the present contest is fit representa-
tive Of the party. He is not better than
the party, and is, therefore, popular with
the masses of it. The man who wrote the
Mulligan letters viii never find any
thing in the record Of the Repub-
lican party which he cannot
indorse. The party and its cam
didate suit each other. Senator
Jones made a good point in calling at
tention to the clean record of the Demo-
cratic party when it went out of power.
The people have about concluded that the
party which went out of power without
charges of corruption ought TO bereturned
to power. They are tired of political
scandals, and want the government adj
ministered honestly and economically.

was known as Miss MOrOsini, in the town
of Yonkers, y. Y, has returned to her
fathers house with her husband, the
eoachman. It is not stated whether or
not the young lady has repented of her
folly. II she has not, it is probable that
she will. There can be little
in common between the couple on
which to found happiness. The woman
is educated and refined, and has been sur
rounded from childhood with everything
desirable that wealth could purchase.
The man has had no advantages, and
knows little beyond what is to be learned
in the stables.
Marriages Of that sort seldom turn out
well. Men ana women are much more
likely to be happy by marrying in the cir
Gle OF society in which they were reared
