GENERAL THOMAS'S WIDOW.

She Will HencefOrth Reside in Washington
How the General Died.
Special to the indianapolis Journa,.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IA The announcement
has just been made that Mrs. Gen. George Fl.
Thomas is about to remove her family to this
city. the winter rigors of her present home being
too severe for her in her present state of health
The mention of this fact to-day led a gentleman
who was quite intimate with General Thomas
during the war to speak of certain matter
never before made public. 1t is we'll known thaA
General Thomas was stricken down very sud-
denly, and the public heard of his death before
it was known that he was i'll. When he received
his death stroke he was engaged in replying to
most villainous attack made upon him by a
New York newspaper For some reason that
paper was bitterly hostile to General Thomas
and pursued him with a malgnity unparalleled
even in those stormy times. When the death
stroke fell on him, General Thomas was seated
at his desk with copy of the paper before him,
and had just begun his reply He was at once
put to bed, and in n few hours the soul of the
great hero had passed away from earth.
General Thomas was beloved by every soldier
that ever served under him. His men affection
ately called him Pap Thomas" aud no one ever
heard soldier under him call him by any other
NAME; anu no observed tnelr love ana esteem,

thing he did. If they were not we'll fed and
clothed it was not his fault. for he allowed no
obstacle to prevent their being fully supplied.
He always camped with the boys, even when he
could just well have slept beneath a roof
Some one asked him, once, why ne did not avail
himself of such opportunities and he re-
piled that if his men could stand il
to live in their tents. and sleep there,
too all the time, he could and would do
so, also; that if he left his command
in their cold little ''purp tents" his brigaders,
colonels, ana majors would take license from his
example, and soon the army would be demoral-
lied. disorganized mob more dangerous to
themselves than to the enemy. Therefore he
made it point of honor, and of discipline to
stay with his men under all circumstances, shar-
ing their hardships and sympathizing with them
in their troubles. braver, purer, more unselfsh
and more devoted commander than General
Thomas never carried sword or slept on a
tented field His memory will be cherished by
his men as long as they survive their old COM

A Professional Cook Who Carries on Business

Professional Cook Who Carries on Business
in a ShowWindow.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov 14-"Move on, ladies;
move on; don't blockade the sidewalk, exclaimed
policeman in stentorian tones yesterday after
noon as he pushed his way through large
crowd OF ladies standing en- the sidewalk at a
busy point on Pennsylvania avenue. The ladies
were of the most reputable and fashionable in
the city. Among them was a member of Cabi-
net officers family two more were wives of sem
ators, while others were the wives and daughters
of representatives to Congress, department
officials and wealthy residents.
The ladies were all craning their dear necks
towards show-windcw that opened out on the
sidewalk in new restaurant and confectionery
In the window stood large gas-stove and oven,
and white male cook at work-all open to the
fullest view. Words and facial expressions of
delight were heard from the lady spectators and
seen on every hand. The cook was baking bis
cults. His oven consisted of steel plate, per-
fectly smooth and level. and about one and half
by three feet in size. Under it, at distances of
two or three inches were small flames of gas
light
See the biscuits raise!" exclaimed dozen
feminine voices "And they don't burn!'
Ooon Inc olscults-large, naky ones, with
slightly Drowned sides-were taken off and fan
mel or battercakes poured on. Meanwhile, there
were other kitchen maneuvers on the part of the
COOK, and every move was watched BY the con-
course of aristocracy on the sidewalk. The po-
licemen kept open passageway. In the other
windows confectloner was making bon bons, and
caramels, and other fancy candy. He was also
watched by many, but the kitchen ork, the
cooking, seemed to be the attraction.
An old lady of aristocratic airs tired with the
tension of on-looking, said as she turned away:
We'll, what little thing attracts our first
ladies People would be surprised, though, to
know how limited is their information of
cookery"
Quite number of firms have failed within a
few years at this location. The introduction by
a new man. of his kitchen in the front window,
has created almost a sensation and made his
business a success in a fortnight Proof Of
cleanliness has done it more than anything else
though.

THE CONDEMNED REBEL.
The Warrant for His Execution-The Discred.
liable Work of Alleged Journalists.

TORONTO, Nov. 1.-THE Mail to-day has the
following special from Winnipeg, dated the 18th:
"A special messenger passed Port Arthur this
afternoon on his way to Regina bearing the
Governor-generals warrant for the execution of
Riel. at Regina, on Monday next. He will
reach Winnipeg tomorrow morning, and Regina
on Sunday morning All the preparations for the
execution have been completed. Rel was made
aware, some days ago, that the sentence of the
court would be carried into effect on Monday.
After the first reprieve he got it into his head
that he would be sent to the penitentiary, and
his spiritual advisers could do nothing with him,
his manner becoming insolent and at the same
was broken to him, on Monday evening last,
that he must prepare for death,
he sobered down. 1t may be we'll
to add that none Of the alleged interviews
said to have been held with him lately ever took
place, and correspondents Of certain American
and Canadian papers have been running bogus
news bureau for weeks back
"Riel's relations and friends at ST. Vital, five
miles from here are aware that Monday will
end ALL They are naturally very much broken
some months ago, during the rebellion, so
that to-day she is unable to realize the dreadful
position in which her son is placed. Joseph, his
brother who is most respectable man, is in a
dreadful state of mind. Riels wife, whom he
did not treat well during the rebellion, leaving
her exposed to danger and hunger, is reported to
be nearly heart broken, but the priests are with
her and the other relatives, and everything
that can be done to comfort them will be done
The Rlel family have from the first secuted the
idea that the prisoner was insane. They say he
had delusions on religion and on the subject of
his own Importance. but that on all other mat
ters he was not only sane but exceedingly inteli-
gent: They have been deeply panied at the pub
lication of the bogus interviews

A New Opera-HOuse and a New Singer.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON Ind, Nov. A-The opening of the
new Doxey Music Hall, in this city, will occur
on next Thursday evening, and will doubtless
prove Andersons greatest theatrical event. The
Music Hall is substantial reproduction of the
Doxey theater that was consumed by fire
on the morning of Nov IA, 1884, and is mar
vel of beauty and convenience The workmen
are now putting on the finishing touches in the
interior of the building, and next week the
drapery will be hung and the scenery put in
position. The sale of tickets for the opening en-
tertainment was begun at the ticket office in the
Music Hall on last Saturday evening The
number of tickets sold at that time
more than met the expectation of
the managers, and exceeded by considerable
amount the first nights sale at the opening last
year. The prospect now is that every seat in
the house will be occupied when the curtain
rises on Thursday night The initial perform
ance will be the rendition of Flotow's fa-
vorte opera, Martha" by New
York company, with Miss Hortense
Pierse in the leading role. Public
interest in the opening is heightened by the fact
that Miss Pierse is an Anderson girl and this
occasion is really to be her debut. She is the
daughter Of Judge and Mrs. w. r. Pierse, and
inasmuch as she is to appear in opera at the
home of her grlhcod, the people of Anderson
Will give her fitting reception.

Other Capitol improvements.
Special to tue indianapolis Journa!.
WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-THE new CARPET se-
lected for the House of Representatives displays
exceedingly bad taste on the part of the official
having charge of the selection. The body is red,
with black and yellow figure, and the effect
from the galleries above is of cheap fabric of
execrable pattern.
The improvements which have taken place in
the postoffice of the House of Representatives
are such as should have been made years ago.
The room now looks something like postofice
and not loafng place for unemployed men, as
it has been in years past
During the past summer work mas progressed
very favorably upon the new esplanade which
which surrounds the two ends and west front of
the Capitol. The architect in charge thinks
that it will be year or two before the work is
completed, but when it is done it will add ma
terially to the appearance of the Capitol building
and will remove the appearance of squattiness
which everyone has noticed in the past The
effect will be to virtually add another story TO

which the Capitol stands is being cut down for
