GENERAL GRANT.
His Food Grows Dista>teful to Him and
He Suggests the Cause.

Mount McGREGoR, July 7. - Genera!
Grant took food three times last night, but
about three o'clock this morning wrote DIR.
Douglas that the food was growing distaste-
full. The physician appeared interested
and the sick man hastened to explain that
the food was not less palatable, but he be.
lieved he was taking more nourishment
than he could assimilate, whereupon the
nurse was instructed to decrease the ouan-
titles given. The constant attendance that
General Grant is receiving from DR.. Doug

without doubt, prolonged the life Of the pa
tient. In order to subdue or allay the Gen.

it seems necessary that personal attendance
should be given about once in three hours.

THE LITTLE BIG HORN BATTLE.
The Number of lIndians3 Engaged in tn
Custer3 Massacre.

Major Reno had an interview with Sit
ting Bull in Washington, regarding the
number Of Indians engaged in the Little
Big Horn fight, where Custer and his com.
mand were massacred. 1t was only after
great difficulty that Sitting Bull consented
to talk. The Indians have no means Of
counting. except by comparison, and there
fore he could not state definitely the num-
Der of warriors engaged in the massacre
With the aid Of his fingers, however, he
called to mind that seven tribes and part
of another participated in the sun dance, on
the banks Of the Little Big Horn, jus: be.
fore Custer met his fate. He said the bands
occupied over 700 tepees, and from this his
interpreter inferred that there were from
5000 to 5000 Indians attending the dance.
The combined forces Of Reno and Custer
would have been easily vanquished by an
enemy SO strong in numbers. The chief
does not wish to talk much about Custer.
He fears the white people would even now
punish him if they knew to what extent
he was concerned iii the fight. Some OF
the old Indian fighters present at the con.
ference say they do not believe he had
anything to do with the massacre, bu,
that Crazy Horse was the leading spirit in
the affair.

rendered him, to deliver an address to the

the official representatives at Washington Of the
Fifteen Spanish American republics, as their
governments have. to greater or less extent

A Prohibitionist's Wild Charges.

DOFeF IN. ID SPECIAL.
The Reverend Charles G. Clark. of Hacketts-
town, is violent prohibitonist. During the re-
cent campaign in this State Clark made num-
Der of speeches in Warren and Morris counties
Among other things he argued that during the
count in favor of the prohibitory amendment in
Ohio several years ago, the politicians became
so frightened at the Unexpectedly large vote
that they issued orders to stop the count. AS a
result at 9 P. M, the count stopped at each and
every precinct in the State, and to this day
nothing later than P. NJ. had ever been
heard as to the Prohibition vote from
any Ohio precinct. The speech excited a
good deal of attention, and a prominent
Republican of this county wrote to Senator Sher
man and Governor-elect Foraker, of Ohio. con-
corning the matter Mr. Foraker has replied as
follows: Permit me to say that the statement
which you say is being made to the effect that
the Prohibition vote in Ohio was suppressed two
years ago, or any other time, is absolute
falsehood, without any foundation whatever in
fact and certainly not worthy of men who pro
fess to be leading great moral movement. |
am not surprised, however, that they should
make such statements, for experience in
Ohio with third party prohibitonists has been
such as to teach US that they are not ashamed to
say or do anything"

the struggle the woman was cut severely on one

then reached over the bed and attacked the
