Yellow1tono Park.

Superintendent Carpenter, Of the
National Park, in conversation with
q Chicago. reporter, said that the
| park Had been visited during the
past season by a large number
of tourists, but not: by as many as
had been expected. There bad
been several causes which had
tended to keep visitors away--pres-
idential year, hard times and the
lack of hotel accommodation. The
Improvement company's hotel has
been run after fashion, but the
financial embarrasmcnts of the
company had intcrfered with its
complete success. A great many
foreigners, mainly English and Ger
man, bad been attracted to the
reservation, and its beauties and
wonders were becoming famous
abroad. The Park branch railroad,
running from Livingston, on the
Northern Pacific, has been compile
ted to Cinnabar distance OF fifty
three miles. the latter point being
distant from the hotel but seven
miles. Lieut.. ID. G. Kingnan, U.
IS. A., with force of about one
hundred men, had been working on
the roads and trails and had about
finished the road to the Lower
Geysars so that wagons could pass
in. There had been some little
trouble with squatters and trespass-
crs, but all but two or three of the
former had been elected, and the
latter had been kept off by the pa
troll, consisting of force Of ten men,
who maintained strict watch on
intruders of that character. Under
the system of game preservation the
smaller game is incre asins in num-
Der, and the same may be said OF
the larger, though owing to the mi
gratory character of the latter, wan
dcring ou: of the boundaries and
seeking lower latitudes during the
cold season, it, EcJu!d not be equally
guarded. Cinnamon and black
bear, elk, deer and antelope and
Rocky mountain sheep are numer-
GUS in the park, and a small herd
of buffaloes, about a hundred in
number, has passed the summer
within its borders. There is now
about foot of snow in the valleys,
and from two to three feet in the
mountains. An appropriation Of
100000 will be asked of congress
this winter to continue the i'm
proycments and keep Lieutenant
kingman in the field.

A Montana SnOb.

Washington Letter to Springfield
Republican: Schuyler Crosby, who
succeeded Frank Hatton, is making
no end of amusement at the post
office department. He was governor
of Montana before he came here.
Since his arrival in Washington he
has established the reputation of
being a snob Of the first degree.
For one thing, he insists that all
the suborIinates who visit his room
shall address him as Governor" "
and he tried to have his name put
on the postoffice directory as "Goy.
Schuyler Crosby, first assistant
postmaster-gcneral." This was re-
fused. When Hatton is away
Crosby's airs at being for the time
head of a department are some
thing too rich to be described.
Orders of his issued during this
temporary reign have created
amusement. No one has thus far
been able to account for his ap-
pointinent save for the reason, that
when in Montana year ago last
summer, the president received
some courtesies at Crosby's hands
and in return Crosby demanded
his present position and got it.

proof-sleet was sent to him for c,r-

told the clerk to insert governor
before his name, and it was done,
but when the proof went to Post
master-General Uatton, he drew
his pen through the superfuou5
title with the remark that he would
not allow such non3easc. While
Mr.. Hatton was abscnd in the south
recently Mr. Crosby acted as chief
of the department, and it is said
that he drew up an order ready for
issue prohibiting smoking in the
building and signed himself Gov.
John Schuyler Crosby, acting post
master-general.' The officers and
employees of the department had
much fun in a sly way at the ex-
pcnse Of the governor, and have
got to addressing each other by that
title as they pass by, when it can
be done without reaching the ears
of that dignitary.

Governor Crosby.

Helena independent: AS the late
Gov. John Schuyler Crosby, Acting
Postmaster General, has many
friends in Montana who would not
like to mortify him by emitting
any mark Of respect or in any way
hurt his feelings, we publish the
following special to the Chicago
Times, which gives popularity of
the governor, which some OF our
people may not Lave discovered:
1.-The new First-Assistant Post
master-General is not satisfied with
that long title alone, but, like the
Missouri patent medicine doctor,
who was member of the 47th
Congress, wants his name orna-
mented with titles before AMI be-
hind. Mr.. John Schuyler Crosby,
having held the Office of Governor
of Montana territory before he be-
came First-Assistant Postmaster
General, insists upon retaining the
title of governor. The earnest
ness with which he clings to it, has
afforded a great deal of amusement
to the whole department. Last
week a handsome memorandum
book was sent up from the station
cry room, labelled, John Schuyler
Crosby, First Assistant Postmaster
General OF. the United States Gov.
Crosby returned the book with a
request that the word governor be
prcfxed to his name on the label.

from the herd, which three cow

From several cattlemen who have
been here lately, says a Portland,
Oregon, exchange, it is understood
that ranchmen will go into the win
ter with an unusual surplus Of
stock. The Portland market has
not been sufficient to take all the
saleablc steers, nor has any consld-
cradle number found eastern buy
ers this season. In consequence Of
this oyerplus the market for both
beef and stock cattle has become
lower and more unsteady of late,
and unless there is another eastern
drive soon we may expect to see
cattle here much lower than they
are.

Interview With Gcvernor Ordway

Ex-Governor Crdway was inter.
viewed on his way west yesterday.
Mr.. Ordway said it was certain that
congress would do nothing this
term toward the division or admis-
sion Of Dakota, becasse the question
had been made a party one. The
bill opening the big-Sioux r' serva-
ton would probably pass, plovid-
ing for the payment of the Indians
for the land taken. The governor
says he retains an interest in Da-
kota, and will devote his time to
railroads and immigration, in con-
nection with an investment and
banking interest established at Bis
marck recently. He believes there
will be a large immigration to Da-
kota from the south, as several
southern congressman have inter
ested themselves in scheme which
will include a large number of veal
thy southern men, who say they
will hustle when they come.

for wives and the unftness of young men for

mony might almost be thought to be falling
into disrepute, did not statistics reassure q

patch from Macon, GEORGIA, which purported to
relate the surprising experience and melancholy
fate of Mrs. Fannie Howard be true, q more
formidable obstacle to the union of twin souls
has arisen than the most confirmed cync and
pessimist ever imagined or hoped for. Accord
ing to the Macon dispatch the lady in question
was widow After her husbands death one
Sterling came into the neighborhood. SThe
"widow, struck by Sterling's remarkable
resemblance to her late husband, encouraged
his advances and, in word, they were

OF this highly interesting narrative. "As soon
"as the bridal pair stepped out into the hall

that, for If true Gt is perhaps necessary to en-

Bridegrooms have vanished before, but not
thus. We have all heard of materializations

glimpses Of the moon, clothed in 30 perfect
fac-simile of flesh that their relicts cannot
distinguish between them and mort,,ls, and il
they are to resume the domestic relations of
life in so far as to circumvent the aforesaid
relicts, only to leave them in the lurch by the
most unprincipled and heartless dematerializa-
tion at the church door, what security or
assurance can there be any more forever
against such post-mortem pleasantries Nor
is it widows alone who are menaced by this
thoroughly illegitimate mixing-uD of two states
