Mr.. Luke Voorhees, returned yesterday
from the ranges of the voorhees, Cattle
company, at Rawhide Buttes and along
the Running Water. He says that all
the cattle in that region are looking re-
m~arkably well and better in comparison
than they did this time last year. All
the cattle have wintered well, although
they are not as yet very fat. The calf
cop is large and of a very fine character
and the grass is admirable in quality
and abundant in quantity. When asked
in regard to the probable losses Mr.. Voor-
bees said that in the section of country
which he visited he did not believe they
would reach one and a half or at the out
side two per cent. The general loss, he
thought from what he could learn, would
not exceed the latter figure. Altogether
the outlook was very satisfactory.

RUGGED OUT.
Th0 Sioux Woman Receives a Trunk
Full of Fine Clothing.

The Indian woman did not seem yester-
day morning TO want anything which was
suggested to her she ought 10 have, and
as surmised she undoubtedly did not com
prchend what was said to her, and it is
no wonder perhaps, for the unfortunate
woman has had enough, ignorant and
untutored as she is, to be afraid and dis
trustful of almost everything. Last eve
ming, however, it seemed different with
her. At about s O'Clock Miss Mary West
sent to the Court House a trunk full Of
really fine and a portion of it costly cloth
ing, which, although it had been worn,
yet could not have cost less than
$50, and very likely 800, judging
from the description given by Sheriff
Sharpless last evening. The contents of
the trunk consisted of u full and complete
outfit of ladies clothing, including dresses,
hat, shoes and end embroidered garments,
all of which are of the finest material.
Among other things, was a silk dressing
gown, together with many other little
trinkets. Miss West sent word that she
will send some other articles this morning.
When tho articles ARRIVED the Sioux
woman was brought out, and when she
saw them her eyes frightened, especially
when she saw that she was to have some
thing to wear which will conceal her semi
n~akedness. She was especially delighted
with the hat and the red silk garment,
but it must be admitted that the shoes are
a trifie to small.

Of the performance of The Rojah to
be given at the Opera House Friday eve
ming, it may be interesting to know chat
Mr.. Harry NJ. Pitt, who plays the title
role in The Rajah before joining the
Madison Square Theatre, was leading man
at Days Theatre, previous to which he
was at Wallack's Theatre, playing leading
business. Mr.. Pitt has been specially
selected to play the parto Harold Wyn-
cot, the RGJah, on cou o~fpeculiar fit
ness for the character. He was for a time
stationed in India as an officer in the
British army. As the Rajah is supposed
to have resided in India, Mr.. Pitt natu-
rally fits the part and gives an admirable
conception from life. Tickets are now
for sale at Rhodes & Troxell store.

TUE GREATEST ON EARTH.
The Consolida ed International Com

We were always very partial to the cir
Gus, especially if it is a good one, and
hence were pleased when we as%certained,
by hearsay, that the Greatest Show on
Earth was coming to the city, and, of
course, when we heard that it had ar
rived yesterday we went out to see 1t. 1t
was a good show-a very good show,
what there was of it. but there was not
quite so much of it as there would have
been if it had been a little larger. How
ever, there was one good thing about this
show; it was all here. 1t wasn't divided
up into sections, one part here, another in
Denver and the rest somewhere else.
We are all here was the Macedonian
cry that went forth yesterday
morning when the caboose came in. At
about l o'clock the parade, as had been
announced, took place. The parade-that
is to say, the band-was not very large,
but it played good large music as it went
around from street to street. There was
no memgerie along with the parade. A
couple of men walked along in front of
the band, but that wasn't the menagerie,
of course. In the afternoon a good many
went down to the circus tent, which had
been put up just east of the Railroad
Hotel, but the grand entertainment had
been postponed until evening, at which
time they all went down again and on
this occasion a ppod many otharl wont

Bill Nye In Chicago Times.
Has woman suffrage been proven a
success in Wyoming?"
1T apparently is a great success. All
classes ofwomen vote, and they have so
transformed the polls that an Eastern
man would never recognize a voting placc
in our Territory. The men are very re-
spectfpl, and when ladies appear they doff
their beavers in the most defercntial man
ner. The women generally vote as their
male relatives do, but occasionally they
assert their independence and vote the
other ticket. They do not take part i'll
aucus nor conventions, although they
are entitled to serve as delegates. 1t is
Observed, however, that the candidates
who are acceptable to the ladies are the
ones that get on the ticket,
They are entitled to serve on juries and
are eligible to the peace justiceship, but
the positions are not cougenial ones, and
the custom is dying out. In Laramie we
had u female justice Of the peace who be-
lieved in no distinctions under any circum-
stances. Her husband was brought be-
fore her OF the charge of drunk and dis.
orderly, and she fined him to the full cx-
tent of the law. He paid his fine and re.
m uked that he would get even with the
court before morning. And he did, too.
His wife was unable to get out of bed for
two weeks

of the jury, who was shuffling cards
for another deal.

had been looking around under the
benches without success.

During the last few years the general
standard of taste in our homes has
changed materially for the better. Be-
fore South Kensington and kindred in
fluences began to make themselves felt,
taste was at a low ebb indeed. Textile
fabrics were poor and bizarre in design;
interior decoration, upholstery, cabinet
work. glass and china, iewelry-all were
to the last degree wanting in taste.
Common sense seemed to be disregard
ed in almost every department of fur
nishing.
Our condition IN regard to these mat
ters is slowly improving. The last ten
years have been unusually active ones in
the matter of reform. People are be-
ginning to be independent of the capri
ces of fashion in the furnishing Of their
homes, and are finding out that piece
of furniture once good is always good;
that rich simplicity is preferable to
gaudy display; that honesty of construc-
ton and design is the best policy in the
long run; in word, that there is some
thing in household art after all.
Still there are some people who cling
W lllc llldl &c CApVuu-
iture Is necessary to secure artistic
effect. or supposing that house TO be
artistic must needs be luxurious. ''Oh,
I should like so much to adorn my home,
but cannot afford the expense" said
one of these persons in my hearing.
Now, of course, she had a quantity OF
furniture and upholstery in the house,
and every year she went on buying the
same miserable shapes and flimsy stuffs
and crude cOlors, because she was too
careless to look around her and buy for
the same amount Of money articles that
would commend themselves at once.
More money is spent injudiciously in
house-furnishing, than in any other de-
partment of domestic expenditure.
There are hundreds of humble, unpre-
tending homes scattered up and down
the land, plain farm-houses among the
New England hills and the cottages Of
artisans in the great cities, that are, in
point of fact, adorned in far better
taste than those of millionaire aristo-
Gratis.
We wish people who live in our
houses to be comfortable and refined,
consequently when yeu enter the parlor
you will not find the chandelier of
brightest brass and cut-glass, the paper
covered with sunfowers, the centre
piece of the rug an elephant recruiting
in the jungle, or Royal Bengal tiger
in the act of springing upon his prey,
and the pictures of the kind that bring
forth the exclamation: ''Oh! what a
handsome frame!"

Drinking Old shoes.

"Talking of old Shoes" said the doc.
tor, as he bit off the end of one of the
reporters cigars. ''they come handy in
various ways. Old boots and shoes are
made into Jamaica rum, also into the
richest of jellies. Not only are old
shoes utilized, but cast-off linen is used
to make coffee and sugar!''
''Oh, come, now!" exclaimed the re-
porter, ''you are trying to stuff me-"
No, / am not. All these years,
while you have imagined that you were
slipping coffee from Brazil and rum
from the West Indies, you have sim
ply been drinking cast-off shoes and
worn-out linen"
"Factl The Jelly spoken of is made by
boiling an old boot and shoe in soda,
under a pressure of about two atmoS-
pheres. The tannic acid in the leather,
combined with salt, makes tannate of
soda, the gelatine rising to the top.
From this, with suitable havoring
material, the jelly is readily made.
s'The shirt coffee is made from old
shirt linen and sweetened with cuffs
and collar sugar, both coffee and sugar
being made in the same way. The
linen, after being washed, is treated
with nitric acid, which, acting on the
Ignite contained in the fiber. produces
glucose, or grape sugar, This, when
roasted, makes an excellent coffee, and
is sweetened with unroasted glucose. F"
Then you would have one believe
that he may have been drinking coffee
made from the shirt from hated rival
may have spread his despised mother-in.
laws old shoes on his breakfast toast,
and quaffed rum made from the bro
gans of a tramp?"
Exactly so. You may be invited to
dine with me some day, when my wife
will doubtless say: Wouldn't you like
a little of Bridget's old shoe for your
hot biscuit, or will you have drink of
the doctors old shirt?'
Doctor" said the reporter, solemn
ly, sis all this true?''
Certainly" said he, ''you don't
think I'd tell a lie; and, by-the-way.
wouldn't you like Santa COuz souri,"
"No-no," said the reporter, and he
hurried home, looking in the glass, and
saw that he was looking very pale and
haggard.

FIsIrCDsHIP.

We have been friends together,
In sunshine and in shade,
rec first beneath the chestnut trees,
In infancy we played
But GOODNESS dwells within thy heart,
\ cloud Is on thy brow;
We have been friends together
Shall light word part US now?
We have been gay together;
We have laughed at bitter jests-
For the fount of hope was gushing
Warm and joyous in our breasts
But laughter now hath fled thy lip,
And Sullen glooms thy brow;
We have been gay together
Shall light word part US now?
We have been sad together;
We have wept with bitter tears
Ger the grass-grown graves where sluu
bered
The hope of early years
The voices which were silent there
Would bid thee clear thy brow;
We have been sad together
Shall light word part us now?
