Ny plan is to give each family 800 acres
and have the government buy the remain

pay for it in four per cent. bonds. The
interest on these bonds would be enough to
support the Indians, educate them, CIV

teach them farming. Take the Crow reser-

Georges Hall, giving entrance to the
spacious room in which the body ley,
were thrown open and the public admitted.
Amongst the throng were many faces
familiar to the patrons Of the theatre. But
there were enough men in other walks Of

counted as many friends out Of his
profession as he did in it. The
small stage wrs hidden almost
by the floral offerings which we're aanked
with ferns and palms. The cefin rested
upon catafalque Immediately in front Of
the stage. Several floral pieces rested upon
the casket lid, the most affecting of which
was bunch of white flowers and smilax,
left by a little girl whom no one knsw.
This was the inscription on the plate of the
casket lid:
JOHN II. MCCULLOUGH,
DIED NovSMBERs s, 1885,,

On the outside of the hall, on Thirteenth |
street, such u crowd was collected that
even the steady stream of people
which circulated through the hall did not
seem to diminish it. 1t is estimated that
nearly eight thousand people looked upon |
the features Of the dead actor, and that
fully ten thousand failed to gain admis-
SION. The family Of the dead actor occu-

HOUSE RULES.
1t is said that the subject of q revision of
the rules ofthe House at the coming session
is attracting general attention, and that
Congressman Springer, Of Illinois, has
spent considerable part Of the summer in
devising q new system of rules. His view
is to simplify them and concentrate power
in the hands of one committee, that on ap-
preparations. he proposes to rednce the
number Of committees to fifteen and to
provide that alter measure has come
IRON the Committee of the Whole, or has
been before the House for three days It
shall be in order to cut of 6lhbustering
by moving the previous question, thus en-
abling the majority to force vote.

ALL GUILTY.
The court martial at Ft Myer, Va, which
tried eighteen signal service men on
charges of insnbordinaiion, found all
guilty and sentenced them to be publicly
rsprimanded By the chief signal officer. 1t
is said that the court was satisfied that the
offense was committed in ignorance of the
law. Gen. Hazsn to day issued an order
approving the sentence, the publication
OF which is considered sufficient reprim-
and for men whose intelligence cannot
fail at all times to prompt the wish 10 do
right"
In the order Gen. Hszen says. also:
This seems q proper occasion to reiterate
the instructions OF the Chief Signal Officer
in 1882 upon the adoption of measures to
secure higher classes Of men for enlistment
in the signal corps"
