Cleveland thus far has found NO oc-

CLEvELAND'S ORDER

The EAGLE gave il as al opinion
that the president had inexcusably
Numbered in issuing his order for the
removal OF 300,0 900 head OF cattle from
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reserva
tions. We said such order would ben
eft no one nor benefit any one except
the military, and that all the Indians
except the discontinued Chyennes
Sheridan, would be dissatisfied. Now
comes word that the Indians are in.
dignant and openly say that the whole
matter has been misreprcsented to
Cleveland. Oh the wisdom of the

The Curious Way nv Which New
Yorker Makes His Living.
New York Herald
There is basement on Eighth avenue
which is occupied by plasterer as a place
Of business There is nothing tie worthy in
that fact, but there is a popularity about
the place. which Is that he has a sign out an
nouncing that he molis the heads Of dead in
fants Several specimen, of this kind OF
work are displayed at the entrance of the
shop
The plasterer was found in the basement
surrounded by benches, tools, ceiling orna-
ments. fragments Of cornices, AMI half
finished busts in plaster. He was asked il
the idea of making business Of taking casts
Of the features Of dead children was original
with him, and he said that he had never
heard Of anybody else doing anything in
that line The people in the neizhborhood,
he added, were mostly Irish, and lived in
tenement house. Formerly no expense was
too great for them as far as n funeral was
concerned, and he had happened to come in
for little share Of the profits.

came down here and said he had just lost
his baby. He was on his way 10 the under
takers. and had evidently stopped several
times to brace IN He saw an old plaster
cast at the top Of the steps. and it struck
him that he'll have something like that to
remember his baby by. He insisted that I
should go to the house with him AMI model
the baby's head. and as hal taste Cor that
kind of work We struck up n bargain. i

Prof. Samuels,
OPTICIAN,

Prof Samuels offers to those that are suf-
fering from weakness and defective sight,
his improved crystal glass spectacles, supe-
rior to any other in use. They are con-
structed in accordance with the philosophy
of nature, admirably adapted to the organs
of sight and perfectly natural to the eye.
The advantages of these spectacles are:
First-That they can be worn with per-
feet ease for any length of time at one sit
ting, giving astonishing clearness of vision
by candle or other artificial light, and COM
fort to the spectacle wearer hitherto I'M
known.
Second-It requires professional guidance
even when good article is offered. Prot.
Samuels not only has the best glasses that
can be found, but carefully examines the
eyes If the patient and gives indispensable
advice as to the proper selection of them.
Third-These glasses are scientifically
adjusted to every case of defective sight,
with unerring accuracy, whether arising
from age or strain or premature decay, BY
entirely his own.
Prof Samuels, to signslize himself from
the hosts Of pretenders in his profession,
will submit for inspection copies of testi-
monials of the most unquestionable re-
spectability and talent of America. also q
number Of letters from well known people
who have used his glasses.
The use of any of the following names or
certificates without m actual possession OF
the same would be q forgery, an offense
punishable by imprisonment in the states
prison.
