AN ATTORNEY AT WAsHfSaToN.-The
people of the Territory have now pretty
generally seen aud become somewhat
acquainted with Messrs. Armstrong and
Voorhees,, opposing candidates for Dele
gate TO Congress. They have doubtless
eontrasted the two men, and have
formed their personal opinions. They
may disregard these opinions, but IL
they do not the contrast must wholly
favor the one man-Voorhees. He is
the keener, brighter. pleasanter man of
the two. He Is the man who would be
selected IL il we're necessary for any of
as TO choose between them In the selec-
ton Of m agent 10 send to the national
capital 10 get bill through Congress
or do piece of work In any of the De-
partments. Armstrong wouldn't be
chosen In any event. There is hardly a
man In the Territory who would select
him for snch a task. His friends all
say ''he Is no orator." aud those who
have met him during the canvass are
compelled 10 acknowledge he In not
even conversationalist. Neither is he
a writer, and in this connection il may
he said bis miscalled speeches are re-
ported 10 have been written for him.
IL he Ii not the man to send to repre-
sent as individually he certainly Is not
the man to represent US O llecsively, or

IN this matter. doing as citizens Just ex-
actly as they would do rs individuals.

Caring for Little Children.


s'We only charge five cents day now
for taking care of little children; the
price used to be ten cents" said Mre.
Walcott, of the Wayside Day Nursery,
to q Tribune reporter. 20 yes, it's very
cheap indeed; and We don't expect to
get rich at il" added the motherly lady
with hearty laugh, in which some of
the little ones joined without knowing
why they laughed. I'VE give them
luncheon of bread and milk, and at sup
per We give them molasses and bread:
sometimes crackers and milk, beef or
chicken soup, and sometimes eggs, as
they are getting cheap. The only dona-
tions We receive are from private
sources. The other day q gentleman
gave Us some money and We had straw
berries for lunch. Saturday we are all
going to have ice-cream, and in q few
weeks, when We get money enough, We
are all going down to Coney Island" As
she led the aaxen-haired girl into the
work-room to take her afternoon nap,
Mrs. Walcott said: s"They generally
sleep an hour or two after lunch. OF
course that keeps them out of mischief,
but ordinarily they are well-behaved.
In q day or two they become accustomed
to the place, and instead of crying to go
home they follow me all over the house,
just as If I were their own mother.
Sometimes children are left here by
mothers who do not 60 ont to work by
the day; they want to get rid of the noise
and confusion that child will naturally
make at home,"

The Fatalist's Terrible Test,

(Erom the San Francisco News-Letter.)
The world is full of fatalists. It is
an easy and comfortable belief. I
have been told peculiar anectlote on
the subject. At q frontier post the
officers mess was engaged in an ardent
discussion. Wine had been freely par
taken Of, and, with one of the strange
oaprices of intoxication there was phil
osophy at the bottom of the glasses.
The Mahommedan religion was the sub
ject of argument. Mussulmans believe
in fate. For them q mans destiny is
written above, the time of his death is
nothing can advance it. Every one set.
had something to advance orrelate in and
pro or con argument. In answer to
one of the officers, who demanded to
know of what use and to what purpose
was reason and it's controlling power if
We we're born with the tag of our destiny
attached, another-a newcomer
and said: @Gentlemen, what is the
use of discussion? Make practical
tsst of the question. Take me as the
subject. Can man willfully dispose
of his Life, or is the fatal moment
chosen by q higher power? Try the
question on me. Who will conduct
the experiment." No one answered.
Then some one proposed q wager.
@Done," was the answer. The subject
drew a pistol, showed that it was loaded,
and held it to his temple. who will
pay if Loser" He pulled the trigger,
and the pistol missed fire.. "a joke"
cried the crowd. The fatalist smiled.
He recocked the pistol, and with
steady hand aimed at the clock on the
wall. he fred and the bullet went
right through the center of the dial.
"Apologize now," said he, II have won
the bet. I always did believe in
fate.''

Canine IutAuigonco.

Passengers on IN afternoon train from
Springfield, Mass, daily witness in
Westfeld IN instance of canine intelli-
gsnoe that is worthy to go on record.
Soon after the train passes a trap-rock
quarry, on the outside of the track used
by eastward bound trains dog can be
seen racing along with the cars until
paper is thrown off by the baggage
master. The dog instantly seizes it,
and, after giving bark of acknowledg-
nent, trots down the embankment to
the house of his owner, not far away.
The sagacious animal is apparently of
Newfoundland breed, and for three or
four years has acted as news carrier in
the way described. Every day except
Sunday, summer and winter, he goes to
his post on the track at about the time
the train is due, and there awaits the
throwing of the paper. It is said that
he not only knows the hour when the
trains should come along, but also that
on one day in seven there is no need of
his services. Apparently the dog has
also learned to know the whistle of his
train from that of any other, for If in the
road OF yard when the whistle is sounded
half mile down the track he rushes for
his station. -.s...s s.

a Manufacturing Business
can easily be established at Pierre, ow-
ing to the low freight rates obtained,
competition between river and railroad
transportation, the abundance Of wood,
which is now selling for 81 q cord, and
the immense quantity of coal and other
raw material in the adjacent reservation
west of the river.
a Jobbing Trade
has already been developed by Pierre mer-
chants with the Black Hills and the
country up and down the river, and
with lower rate of freight than can be
obtained at Watertown or Huron, or
any other point in South Central Dako-
ia, and being the only railroad point on
the boundary Of the reservation soon to
be opened, Pierre is destined to become .
great jobbing center.
Activity in Real Estate
began last year and more, sales were
made than in the previous two years Of
the city's growth, and there has been .
healthful, gradual advance in the price
of oity property, and every one has made
money by operating in real estate. The
indications point to IN early springs
business and an advance In prices.
