THE 8 U n
NEW YORK, 1884.

About sixty million copies of THE Sun have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months
Ifyou were to paste end 10 end all the columns OF
all THE SUNS printed and sold last year you would
get continuous strip of interesting in formation,
common sense wisdom. sound doctrine, and sane wit
long enough to reach from Printing House square,
10 the top of Mount Coperniaus in the moon, then
back To Printing House square and the three
quarters of the way back to the moon again.
But TIE SUN is written for the inhabitants OF
the earth; this strip Of intelligence would girdle
the globe twenty or twenty-eight times,
If every buyer Of a copy of TIE Sun during the
past year has spent only one hour over 1t, and il
his wife or his grandfather has spent another
hour, this newspaper in 1888 has afforded the
human thirteen thousand years OF steady
reading, night and day.
II is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea Of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers, or Its inlu-
ence on the opinions ard actions of American
men and women.
THE Sun is, and will continue to be, newspa-
per which tells the truth without fear of conse
quenccs which gets at the facts no matter how
much the process costs, which presents the news
of all The world without waste OF words and In the
most readable shape, which is working with all It's

which therefore believes that the Republican par

Rev. Father Wilds'
EXPERIENCE


The Rev. q. p. wiIds, well-known city
missionary in New York, and brother
of the late eminent Judge yyilds, of the
Massachusetts, Supreme Court, writes
as follows: ~
"78 E. 54tA ST. Nesc Fork, Adg 1G, 1892
MEssRs. j. G. AVER & Co., Gentlemen
Last winter 1 was troubled with a most
uncomfortable itching humor affecting
more especially my limbs, which itehed so
intolerably at night, and burned so Intense
~, that l could scarcely bear any clothing
over them. l was also n sufferer from
severe catarrh and catarrhal cough; my
appetite was poor, and my system good
deal run down. Knowing the value of
AYERS SARsAPARILLA, by observation of
many other cases, and from personal use
in former years, | began taking it for the
above-named disorders. My appetite i'm
proved almost from the first dose, After
q short time the fever and itching were
allayed, and all signs of irritation of the
skin disappeared. My catarrh and cough
were also cured by the same means, and
it is now excellent. | feel a hundred per
cent stronger, and / attribute these results
to the use of the SARsAPARTLLA, Which
| recommend with all confidence as the
best blood medicine ever devised. took
1t in small doses three times day, and
used, in all, less than two bottles | place
these facts at your service, hoping their
publication may do good.
Yours respectfully, z. p. WILDs."
The above instance is but one of the many
constantly coming to our notice, which prove
the perfect adaptability Of AYERS SARsA-
PARILLh to the cure of all diseases arising
from impure or impoverished blood. and a
weakened vitality.

After anxious waiting, the case of
the people Of Buffalo, Johnson county,
VS.. Mrs. V. K. Hart, the claimant of
the site OF the town has been decided in
the lady's favor. The land was origi.
nally filed on by her husband, who was
commandant at Fort Mckinney, as a
desert claim, and final proof was only
made since the boom of TIE town be.
gan. This was disputed by some Of the
Buffaloites, who were afraid that il the
lady In question gained her title she
would charge extraordinarily for lots
already occupied, and in default Of pay
ment would enforce the law. But
Mrs. Hart has gained her title in spite
OF protests. We d0>not think any dan
ger may be apprehended from the CUES
ton OF high prices for lots, as Mrs.
Hart seems disposed TO BIS very mod
crate in her demands and TO take an
interest in the growth OF the town.
And since lots can now be purchased
there is no doubt that Buffalo will grow
faster than ever.

bad Men From Cheyenne.

Under the above caption the Lara
mie Boomerang says:
Two individuals entered the Wyo-
ming house last evening, and ate sup
per. During the progress of the meal
they began talking in u very loud and
obscene manner, whereupon the land
lord, Mr.. Brainard Miller, told them
they must behave themselves or leave
the house. They then walked out into
the office, and one of them casually re-
marked that he was "a bad man from
Cheyenne" and then and there extend
ed an invitation to the company pres
ent to pull their guns" and blaze
away at him. Officer Allen was called
in, who arrested the men and they
were Jailed. This morning one OF
them, John Whalen, was fined So. so by
Judge Pease, and his companion,
Thomas Clark, received a like dose this
afternoon.
Miller says he don't propose to let
roughs run his house, and his prompt
action last night shows that he was in
earnest.

Bright was her smile and her laughing eyes
Glistened like stars In the evening skies.

Under the shade of the oak and pine;
Side by side we wandered afar,
Where the violets bloom and the roses are.
Flowers we plucked that grew by the

And sparkle with dew In the morning beam;
And the heart OF that little maid was gay,
While gathering auufu flowers that day.

And she twinod the nowersi in her tiny hand,
And scattered their leaflets DER TIE sand.

Yesterday morning at about 3
O'Clock, Mr.. w. j.. Stephens. who
rooms over O. P. Organs hardware
store, heard someone in the hallway Of
the building. He listened, and pres
emily a kick was administered upon lis
door. he asked who was there, and a
voice answered that he wanted to come
in. ~. s. ordered him to leave, but
with no avail. So the gentleman
skipped out Of another door and gave
the Nocturnal intruder a blow which
staggered him and made him retreat in
a hasty manner down and out. Mr.. 8.
says that only the proximity of an aged
lady made him forbear putting a hole
through his visitor. He says the man
did not appear TO be intoxicated and
that If he is annoyed again in a SINH
lar way Coro ner ChaHin will have a
job. He coul Id not identify the man

CORNISH X HENCE.

Sheriff Sharpless had taken pains not
to inform Cornish of the decision, be-
cause he feared that the latter might
possibly attempt to take his life. Cor
nish asked for q razor in the morning
to shave himself, but was refused. He
insisted upon getting it, and Of course
the sheriff was more determined not to
give 1t. All day long the fellow would
importune every person who went into
the jail for Information as to the dis
cussion. 1t was not until a short time
before Cornish left the all that he was
informed of the courts act ion. Dep
uty Sheriff Hosford went into the Jail,
an d Cornish was on the alert.
Get ready to 60 to Joliet" said the
deputy.
What's that? What's that?n gasped
Cornish.
The situation was explained to him
and he broke down, saying not a word,
but h~eaving heavy signs. He did not
regain his tongue until he was taken to
the sheriff's office.
"It's all that Esphenheid's fault"
said Cornish to Mr.. Hosford.
"How's that?" inquired the latter.
"Well, 1t was he who committed that
murder. l stood by and saw 1t done.
But 1 was too good u friend to give him
away"
He went on to condemn Espenheide,
saying that he ought to be arrested, and
Cornish asked repeatedly to have Mr..
Baird come at once in order to get the
statement and have Espenheide in
dicted.
well, what proof have you that he
is guilty." doubtingly asked Mr.. Hos
ford.
Nothing but my word" replied
Cornish; 1 saw him do it,"
Just then several persons entered the
sheriff's office and Cornish refused to say
anything further.
Before Cornish left, Judge sener
called to see him and in a kindly way
to give him u good word of encourage
ment and advice. saying tina; his (Cor-
nish's) future was in his own hands
and that, while the law had to be en-.
forced, there was possibly a way to
shorten his long sen tence, by good be.
havior, etc. But Cornish waived the
matter aside disdainfully and went on
to say that it didn't make any differ
ence to anybody, he was going over the
road for life and he didn't care, etc.
but he showed no signs of contrition,
being apparently hardened to his fate.
= When the time for departure arrived
last evening, Sheriff Sharpless con.
veyed Cornish to the east bound trair
and escorted him hence. The sheriff
will himself take Cornish to Joliet, and
as the paper goes to press, they are al.
ready whistllng through eastern Ne
braska.
There was a general expression of up,
proyal OF Judge Parks able opinion
heard on the streets yesterday, and II
was said frequently that law and order
were certainly strengthened by the de
cision. The fact that the court wa
unanimous was a very strong point
that was repeatedly approved.

for the Grand Army collegiate and mil

This scholarship will be given to some

the extent of $4,000 for this purpose.

John s. Meyer was born In Bedford
county, Pennsylvania, and died in
Laramie county. Wyoming, at the age
OF GO years, 9 months and II days. He
leaves q wife and two sons and one
daughter. He was a firm believer in
Christian faith. Mr.. Meyers death
was very sudden and unexpected, for
in no longer time than two hours pre-
vious to his death he was able to be up
and out Of the house, and the day he
died, indeed only a few brief hours be-
fore his death, he wrote. two letters, one
Of which was to his daughter in Wash
ington, D. c., in which he stated that
he was enjoying exceedingly good
health.

On Friday evening Sheriff Williams,
of Colorado, passed through this city,
having in custody a Monaghan who is
wanted in Black Hawk for robbing
sluice boxes. He had been arrested
there at the time the larceny was COM
mitted, but vas released on bail. He
Jumped" his bail and disappeared be-
fore the time Of the trial. Sheriff Will
liams learned Of his being at Rock
Springs, Sweetwater county, and OBJ
tanning a requisition started after his
man. He was told that Chic Shin was
in gang No. 6, at the mines. He went
to the cabin occupied by that gang, ac-
companied by the deputy sheriff OF
Sweetwater county. On entering the
place the FIRST object presented to view
was his "royal nibs" snugly tucked in
bed. On seeing the sheriff he uttered
a frightful howl and, o~strich-like, tried
to uphis head. Williams quickly
jerked him out OF bed and compelled
him to dress, keeping him covered the
meanwhile with u revolver. He was
compelled to handcuf his prisoner and
then keep a sharp eye on him, as he
made several attempts to escape. After
leaving Cheyenne, and while the train
was rushing down the grade at a ire
mendous rate, the Chinaman made a
desperate break for liberty. Had he
succeeded in getting away and jumping
from the train he would have been in
stantly killed, but Sheriff Williams was
too quick for him.

Mr.. G. F. Annett, the genial mana
ger Of telephone exchanges, arrived
home on Friday evening from his west
ern trip. He has been very busy sup
plying the rapidly springing up west
ern towns with this valuable improve
ment. He put in an exchange at Boise
City, which is now connected with
Caldwell, a distance of t~hirty-two
miles. He tells us a new town is
%springing up, called Weiser, at the pre-
sent terminus Of the Oregon Short
Line, and he is satisfied will become
quite a place. Although having only
half a dozen houses as yet, they insisted
upon having the telephone. Mr.. An
nett left last night for Omaha, from
whence he will go TO st. Paul and west
over the Northern Pacific. establishing
exchanges At Bozeman, Billings, Miles
City and Livingston. He will go on
and take a look at the prospects at the
C@ur d'Alene mines and will be alb
sent about three weaks.

The able debate between Colonel
Babbitt and Hon. F. E. Warren, on
the bond bill, which was mentioned In
yesterdays issue Of this paper, might
have resulted somewhat differently had
the yeas and nays been called. We
find, on inquiry, that there were three
or four that would probably have voted
to sustain the amendment, in that
event. There is a prospect now that
amendments will be proposed ito the
bill in the house, when it ome up in
that body.
