ROMAN NOSE TALKS.
A Prominent Indian Who Predicts Wa
With All the Tribes.

With An the Tribes.
LEAyENwoRrH, KAs., July Ga brief in
terview has been obtained with Roman
Nose, the renegade Sioux, who has cast his
los with the Cheyennes, and has apparently
devoted all his energies to making trouble.
he possesses o considerable following
among the Cheyennes, and has led several
raids on the cattle by the companies which
have leased grazing lands from the Chey-
ennes and Arapahoes. His complaints are
chiefly against the cattle companies, which,
be asserts, have fenced in much OF
the best hunting land and forced
the Indians to tramp over sterile
plains in search Of game. He claims that
the payments made by the cattle companies
to the Cheyennes and Arapahoes are not
fairlyS divided and that the cattle turned
over to the indians and branded to denote
their ownership, are "gobbled" By the bigger
chiefs to the exclusion OF the lesser ones
he believes that before long there will be
general Indian war ard tina. the Indians
nieht as well die fighting as to be driven
about and hemmed in and starved by white
men. "The war, said he, "will begin with
he Cheyennes and Arapahoes, and then
the Comanches. Apaehes, Kiowas and other
tr;bes MI ;oin them and .fght ieRea 70 ex-

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 6.-"We would
have had our hands full" said an officer
holding prominent position here in com
menting upon the contents of the above dis
patch, "if the Apaches of Southeastern
New Mexico had gone on the war path.
| The Utes in Northwestern and Nortuern
Mexico, the Apschss in Arizona, the Chez
ennes in Indian Territory are really gl5-n

When one knows the condition OF the In
dams he cannot blame them for their ap'
tions. They

to death. They have no food ard there is
nothing for them to kill. The Government
is not half feeding them. l understand the
appropriations for the Indians are less than
several years ago. have it from no les
authority than the General of the army that
they are cheated out Of portions OF food
purchased by these appropriations to which
they are entitled, By collusion between
dealers and agents they get
cattle weighing one half or one fourth
what the contract calls for. OF course
when this is done their food gives out before
the end of the year and they can get ooth
ing additional on the reservation except in
sccts and snakes which they do eat"
Another army officer says that the amount
of food allowed an Indian by the govern
ment will not equal more than one;fourth
the amount which is given to soldiers.

Tb. Endemic of Crime.

Whence comes this epidemic of suicides
and murders! Recent discussions have
named several causes. Hon. G. ii. Reeve,
of Indiana, charges it to infsdel teachings
holding that hopelessness OF future
state cripples fortitude for bearing life's
ills. Another declares suffering from the
universal business depression the cause. A
third writer attributes it to increasing in
sanity, a physician thinks much of the
tendency Is inherited, while temperance
advocates lay the responsibility upon
strong drink.
Free thinkers have committed suicide,
but so have orthodox churchmen. Finan-
cial straits have beset many, but the
wealthy have also taken their life.
Insanity and dissipation have preceded
suicides and family murders.
One feature common to almost every
such crime challenges attention. Well
nigh every report of suicide and family
murder mentions the perpetrator as having
"for some time been subject to melan-
choly." Whence comes this? All recog-
nized medical authorities tell us that the
fire which consumes the brain is always
kindled by arrangements OF digestion: that
good digestion is impossible without pure
blood, and pure blood is never known when
the liver and kidneys are out of order.
Under such circumstances, a preventive
should be sought, and for this Warmers
safe cure is sovereign-a fact conceded by
the best authorities in the land, and it is
especially commended by the celebrated

The Singular Superstitions Which AfDect
the People.

The Singular Superstitions Which Anect
the People.
The greatest luck that can befall .
mortal is to be- born on Easter Sun-
days. while the bells are ringing. but it
is not lucky to die on that day. The
spoon with which the Easter eggs have
been removed from the boiling pot is
carefully treasured up and worn in the
belt by the shepherd; it gives him the
power to distinguish the witches who
seek to molest his flock. Perhaps the
most important day in the year is St.
Georges, the 23d of April corresponds
to our 5th of May), the eve of which is
frequently kept by occult meetings
taking place at night in lonely caverns.
or within rtiined walls, and where all
the ceremonies usual to the celebration
of witches sabbat are put into prac-
tice. The feast itself is the great day
to beware of witches, to counteract
whose influence square-cut block of
green turf are placed in front of each
door and window. This is supposed
effectually to bar their entrance to the
house or stables, but for still greater
safety it is usual here for the peasants
to keep watch all night by the sleeping
cattle. This same night is the best for
finding treasures, and many people
spend it in wandering about hills try
ing to probe the earth for the gold it
contains. Vain and futile as such re-
searches generally are. yet they have
in this country a somewhat greater
semblance of reality than in most 9th
er parts. for perhaps nowhere else have
so many successive nations been
obliged to secrete their riches in flying
from an enemy, to say nothing Of the
undiscovered veins of gold and silver
which must be scanning the country in
alldirections. Notayearpasse without
bringing to light some carthen jar
containing old Dacian coins or golden
ornaments of Roman origin, and all
such discoveries serve to feed and keep
up the national superstition. n.-Nsme-

THE RAILWAY WHISTLE.
Massachusetts Taking the Lead in Bene
ficent Reform.

Massachusetts, Taking the Lead in Bene-
ficent Reform.
Massachusetts is leading the way in
bringing about a most beneficent re-
form-the abatement of the nuisance of
locomotive whistling. For many years
the railroad commissioners have urged
upon the companies the feasibility of
restricting the use of the whistle. They
held that by frightening horses it prob
ably caused as many accidents as it
saved, not to speak of the deaths re-
sulting from loss of sleep in cases of
illness where the invalids house is near
the track, and further argued that the
value of the warning as distinct sig
nal of danger is greatly diminished by
its indlscriminate use. A dozen years
ago the managers of the Boston q Al
bany Railroad, one of the most impor-
tant in the State, were converted to
this view, and discontinued the use of
the whistle except as danger signal.
Experience has shown no increase in
the number of accidents. while the
comfort of dwellers along the line has
been greatly promoted. The success
of this experiment led to the passage
by the last Legislature of law to re-
strict the use of whistles at street
crossings. A petition by citizens o
Lawrence for the application of this
law in their city was recently heard by
the Commissioners, and they have just
exercised their discretionary power by
giving orders to prevent whistling at
certain specified crossings in thickly
settled quarters. The Commissioners
at the same time recommend the COM
panies to discontinue the use of the
whistle as signal for switches. and as
means of communication from one
employe to another, on the ground that
the practice is needless and an mex
cusable annoyance to the prblic. The
Importance of this movement, not only
as means of comfort. but as sani-
tary measure, can not easily be exag
gerated.-N Y. Post.

The New York Sun calls atten-
ton to what must be admitted to be a
serious matter that the vice of opium
smoking is one that has grown very
rapidly in orr Eastern cities within the
last ten years. and suggests the posi-
bility Of its becoming one OF the great
est OF our social evils. The vice has
certainly already become prevalent
enough to demand that public senti-
ment should be aroused, SO that the
police of our cities should have behind
them the moral support of the COM
munity in breaking up at once every
opium-ioint that begins its demoraliz-
ing and degrading business. Boston
