Street Cars as Missionaries.

"When the question of introducing
street cars in India first came up, near
ly twenty years age" said JohnStephen-
son, the famous car builder, zone of
the greatest obstacles to be considered
was caste. 1t was easy to deYise a meth
cd of separating, within reasonable linn
its, the various classes, for the cars
could be made with two interior COM
partments, and with seats on top for
passengers Of inferior classes. But how
to collect. the fares was the question
that puzzled everybody. A Brahman
conductor could not receive coins from
the hands OF his interiors, nor could
Brahman passenger receive change from
o conductor of lower caste. There were
many other regulations growing out Of
caste distinctions which threatened to
make street cars q failure in the cities
of India. But the cars were sent out,
and matters were left largely to adjust
themselves. The result is that instead
of caste making the street cars failure,
the street cars have made caste to q
considerable extent a failure. They are
now utilized in the principal cities Of
India very much as they are in New
York.
"Besides doing away with caste OBJ
stacles to their success, the street cars
have removed many of the restrictions
which caste put upon the transaction OF
business generally in that country. I
am told that they have produced very
notable change in this respect-that
they may be regarded, indeed, as among
the chief instruments with which the
changed order of things was brought
about. Street cars are q necessity, and
whatever stands in the way Of their usei
will be done away with by the people. "
When the British Government made
it impossible to enforce forfeitures and
other penalties by reason of the loss OF
remuneration of caste, considerable
step toward the abolition of caste dis
tinctions was taken. No laws for the
government of persons have been more
rigid or more speedy in respectto- their
penalties than were the regulations Of
caste. In certain provinces of lRdia
when under native rule, twas regarded
as justifable homicide for man Of
high caste to strike dead any personei
inferior caste who should touch him
even by accident. One Of the steps
toward the present state of things was
permitting Brahman to engage m
pursuits which had been followed onAy
by persons Of inferior grade, while still
prohibiting persons of low caste from
taking upon themselves fMactiOns
which belonged to those above them u
rank. als,a.,,a Il "a.

saw ship go sailing down
The harbor, yesterday,
And half the little fishing-town
Stood on the rocks so bare and brown,
To watch it sail away.
White tokens auttered on the land,
And 'kerchiefs from the sea
Were waved by many friendly hand
To loving faces on the strand
But none was waved to me.
My ships have sought distant shore
With all their precious freight,
And nevermore, ahl nevermore
viii they bring back what hence they bore
To me who stand and wait.
But some time shall set my sail,
And pass to that far cline
Where all my vessels, strong or fratl,
Are anchored safe from every gale.
Are anchored for all time.
Yes, some time shall go to them
Who come no more to me;
The raging ocean shall stem,
And reach the Island, like gem,
That rises from the sea.
And then farewell to all the past,
Farewell to all despair,
When | shall greet my ships at last
That, riding safely through the blast,
Have reached the land of prayer.
Oh, what is toll, and what is pain,
And what is fierce distress,
When we may hope to meet again
The lips that on our own have lain,
And hear them praise and bless?
Go forthl go forth! o song of mine,
And speak to hearts that ache!
And tell them how the sun doth shine,
The violets bloom and columbine,
Somewhere, for their sweet sake.
Yes, tell them nothing is so small
That it shall be forgot;
For if a sparrow does not fan
Unnoted by the Lord of all,
His children sure will not:
Then, if we know that somewhere near
To Heavens resplendent gate
Are gathered those we held SO dear
When life and love were centred here,
1t must be sweet to wait!

Several year ago daughter of Hon. A.
G. Ramage, of this county, was bitten by
copperhead snake on the thumb Of her
right hand. The only sign of injury at
the time was two very small globes OF
blood from two almost imperceptible
marks as of needle point. The young
lady was not aware at the time she was
bitten Of the presence of the snake: but
few minutes after noticing the two marks
on her thumb her hand and arm began to
swell and she became deathly sick. 1t
was several hours before the ia ct that she
had been bitten by snake was learned
not until her father went to the tree under
which she had been seated, and there dis
covered the snake, which seemed quite as
sick as the lady. he killed the snake, and
returning to the house every possible rem
edy was applied to save the life Of his
daughter, and though she laid for weeks
when there was little hope, she recovered.
The remarkable part of the occurrence is
that the daughter is still living, is married
and has several children, and every year,
on the return OF the anniversary Of the
date Of the poisonous bite, the right hand
and arm become spotted and swelled, and
the sickness and symptoms attending the
frst occasion all return, and strong and
vigorous remedies have to be applied as 81

THE BEATER EAT
How They Punish Brutal Husbands at
Rock Greek.

They punish wife heaters admirably at
Rock Greek. Some days ago a man by
the name of Cook got rather drunk and
gave his wife a good beating when she re-
turned from her days work. She went
back to the place where she had been
working and waited for him t grow good
natured and after a while returned again.
He executed the performance over again
and she took a walk. A party of COW
boys learning of the episode went and took
Mr.. Cook out of the house and COM
menced to warm his jacket with about a
dozen whips of the blacksnake variety.
When the operation ceased Mr.. Cook was
slightly lacerated.
The next day he started out to arrest
the parties. He did not know them but
thought he would recognize the whips.
In a store adjacent to the Justice office
he Jaw the identical instruments which
had tortured him on the night previous.
He forgot all about the complaint and
meandered home. Since then has been
the most ~peaceable of husbands, remem-
bering the gentle %admonitiou of the cow
boys to behave himself in the future or
they would adorn a telegraph pole with
his carcass.

greater part of the time that he has been
away he remained in New York City,
where, Tor several weeks he was seriously

usual health. Mr.. Post returned here
direct from Omaha, where he spent sew
erl days. The interview had by a Chi
cago Times reporter with Mr.. Post and
re published in THE LEADER a few days
ago, indicates his hopefulness of Demo-
cratic success in the National campaign.
He feels more than equally confident that

ONE MORE WITNESS.
The Brown Disbarment Case Com.
ing to a Close.
Conflicting Testimony Given During
the Trial Yesterday.

The Brown contempt was continued
yesterday before the Supreme Court. As
minated in THE LEADER the Court de.
cided to take the testimony in the case
and Hon. w. w. Corlelt was the first
witness. Mr.. Corlett substantially stated
that he had heard Mr.. Brown use the
language stated in the accusation in refer
ence to Judge Parks and assert that the
Court was bribed. Mr.. j. A. Riner and
Mr.. L. A. Slack were present and heard
the conversation. Afterwards, on the
same day, Mr. Brown stated to the wit
ness at his Office that he wa angry at
Judge Parks at the time he made the re-
marks which are claimed to be a cause fol-
disbarment and hat he did not mean that
either witness or the Judge were bribed.
Mr.. j. A. Riner simply corroberated
Mr.. Corlett's testimony in regard to the
statements made by Mr.. Brown at the
SuR office.
Mr.. Slack did not remember very much
about the occurrence and had no r~ecollec-
ton of the remarks made by Mr.. Brown,
but remembered that the party were
present in his Office about that time.
Mr.. j. j. Pease, of Laramie City, was
the last witness and he testified to hear
ing Mr.. Brown state in his Browns
Office at Laramie that Judge Parks was
guilty of bribery and that Brown charged
Parks with the offense.
This clos ed the evidence for the prose-
cution.
Mr.. Brown testified in his own behalf
that he had not made the charges against
Judge Parks in the manner charged in
the accusation. He modified the state
ments attributed to him and said that
he did not mean at the time he made the
statements about Judge Parks to charge
him with bribery. He contradicted Mr..
Pease in regard to that gentleman's test
mony about the witnesses statements
made at Laramie City in his office. He
testified ttat his partner, Judge Blake,
was present and heard the conversation
between himself and Mr.. Pease.
Mr.. Blake swore that he was present at
the time Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Pease had
the conversation about Judge Parks, and
that Brown did not charge the Judge
with bribery on that occasion.
The respondent then asked time to
produce Mr.. Arnold, a clerk in Mr.
Browns Office, who was present and
heard the conversation between Brown
and Pease in the Office at Laramie, The
Court granted the request and adjourned
until this morning.

GERMANIA HALL.
Opening of a Most Brilliant Place
of Amusement Tonight.
A Doubtless Successful Enterprise
of Mr.. Leopold Kabis.

Thirty days ago this morning the first
brick was laid at the site of what is now
"Germania Hall, the property of Mr..
Leopold Kabis, adjoining the Tivoli sa-
loon on Sixteenth street. The main room
is 24xsS feet, fronting on Sixteenth street.
Besides this there is an l. running out to
Ferguson street at the rear of the Tivoli,
thus affording an entrance from that
street. The building has a 14-foot ceiling
and is very finely finished. The walls are
deliberately decorated with fresco statuary
representing the four seasons of the year
and America and Europe, and more deco
rations of the same character have been
ordered and will soon be added to these
attractions. For water advantages Ger
mania Hall stands second to none in the
city, every room being supplied with
pipes, and the building is thoroughly
lighted with gas, there being on the inside
twenty-cight lamps and over the arch in
front twenty jets in varigated c%olors, be-
sides two bracket lamps on the outside.
AT the rear of the main room a stage has
been erected, on which stands a fine
piano, which is designed to afford one of
the means of constant amusement. For
the present the celebrated Tryolean
troupe, consisting of seven members, has
been engaged and will appear this even
ing. This will be a treat never before Of
fered to the residents of Cheyenne. At
the rear are splendidly furnished private
parlors, beautifully carpeted, brilliantly
lighted and every provision made for the
comfort of guests. In the front part of
the building is first the lunch counter
where will be served hot and cold lunches
of every description at all hours. LBE
Economy Gas Range, something pew,
having lately been introduced in New
York City, will be used in the appropriation
of lunches. 1t is connected directly with
the gas system of the city and is truly a
wonderful invention. By means Of sim
pie screws any temperature of heat may
be instantly obtained, enabling the opera
tor to serve at his option quick or waiting
meals, which will consist of every
thing an ~epicurean could wish, including
roasts, stews, boiled dishes, fries, etc.
Next comes the bar, as finely finished as
any in the city. On the left, running the
entire length of the room, are tables ar
ranged at convenient distances. Eclectric
call bells run from the private parlors to
the bar and in fact to every portion Of the
building. Very extensive preparations
have been made for the opening this
evening, which will doubtless be the most
brilliant affair of the kind even given in
the city. A grand lunch is to be one of
the main features. The management
proposes a warm free lunch every day
from $50 till 1870 O'Clock a. IN.
1t is due to state that the building was
erected by Contractor Frank A. Miller
and the frescoing and painting by Mr.. r.
Z. Moore.
