ARTIFICIAL EGGS.

A Dealer Punished for PAIminE Them on
a. the Genuine Article.
NEw YORK, December l5.-A number oi
dealers in eggs and produce in Patterson
we're called on Saturday last by 9 man
representing himself as Garrett Onder,
donk, OF RocklSud county, n. Y. He sold
each Of the dealers lot of fresh country
eggs" at Q remarkably low figure. The
eggs were delivered by another man, To
whom the dealers refused payment. Yes.
terdsy 0nderdonk called for his money,
but was arrested under sn sct prohibiting
the sale of adulterated food. He pie ded
guilty, whereupon he was fined $50 and
costs, This he paid promptly and left the
city without attempting TO collect for the
eggs delivered.
He admitted to several dealers that the
eggs we're artificial, and were manufactured
By . firm in Newark. whose name he de-
ciined to disclose. The shells were of q
clear, transparent competition, and the
shade was perfectly modelled. The por'
ton surrounding the yolk was made oi
albumen, and the yolk itself Of ground
carrot and saffron. The eggs we're tested
aud found to scramble well, aud in sn
omelette there was no percspibls differ,
ence between the real and artificial eggs,
but when boiled they are are easily de,
tected, ss the yolk and surrounding white
portion do not harden separately as in
real eggs.

Cheyennes and ArapahosS Ready for An
Outbreak whisky Money Cut OF.
WICHITA FALLS, Tex, December l5.-
Word reaches here from Fort Reno, id the
Arapshos reservation, Indian Territory,
that the dissatisfaction that has been pre-
vailing among the backs Of the Arspahos
and Cheyenne tribes is aggravated BY
ths loss Of large Sans OF rent
money N.i..tt N.i.t hey have besnrecsiViug TOR
the past ten years tFo2 cattle barons
Since the cattle men have been elected
from these reservations, Of course the
rental payments have ceased. The In.
dianS who Get up such clsmor at the
presence Of white settlers never realized
what q source Of supply these white in.
truders were. They paid four cents to ten
cents an acre for the use Of the grazing
lands, and this money was divided quar-
terly per capita among the bucks OF the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe tribes, and it kept
them 10 whisky, tobacco, old plug hats, aud
such like, the entire year.
The period for distribution Of quarter
rental has Just passed and the bucks rode
from all parts ofihe nation to receive their
stipend, but found nothing awaiting them.
Now they accuse the Government Of roo
biug thsm, and are ready fo: an outbreak
Those chisis who were most urgent in de-
mandipg the expulEion Of the cattle men
are now the the most rampant de-
nouncers Of the Government. 1t was
thought that the recent issue Of an
nuity goods by the Government at DArl.
ington agency would pacify the disgrunled
redskins, but it has had the very opposite
effect. This was the first annuity supply
to the Cheyennes and Arapahoes in three
years. and the Indians thought they were
entitled to terms as much ss usual, but
Congress made them no back sPpropris
tion. Hence they claim they are being
robbed. Murders and outrAges may be
looked for in = heir reservations shortly.

NEw YORK, December l5.--Eyer since
the details Of William q. Yanderbilts will
were published the feeling Of Indignation
toward his memory seems to have IN
creased. The community will not, and
apparently cannot, forgive him for dying
worth two hundred millions and leaving
nothing of any consequence, for man of
his means, to the city where he and his
father had accumulated their vast for
tunes New York ought TO have grown
accustomed to such millionsires, for she
has had acres of them; out somehow 1t
had wrought itselfinto the belief that Van

immensely rich he would feel contrained
10 be decsntly generous.
. A fOregone conclusion had been reached
that he would, ct least, endoR a fine pic
ture gallery, because it was known that he
hsd such intent two years since. The i'm
preston had also gained currency that he
would leave handsome fund for q public
library, which New York never strictly
had.
