SITTING BULL.

fhS Adventure of the Great ChieftaIn
With a Cowboy Dentist.
Philadelphia Pressl
There was nothing TO relieve the nionot:
ony of "wi.d life" In a civilized locality
yesterday. The cowboys roam ID aiIn!ess-
Iy about the Enclosure, p tched pennies in
The shade of their tents, and struggled
hard to pass away the weary moments.
Everybody was in good hum Dr but Sitting
Bull Ths great Chief sa. alons in his
.epee, rocking TO and fro, In great pa II,
and uttering the most dismal groans.
Buffalo Bill visited him about noon, and
succeeded, after considerable trouble, in
sliciting few ineligible grunts in Sioux
lingo TO the effect that the old warrior W as
nearly crazy with toothaehe.
Many moons ago, while crunching d
buffalo steak, the old Chief broke his
tooth, and has borne the pain with stolid
Indifference. A plate of ice cream made
aim fairly howl at B B,lmont Mansion
Thursday evening during the "Buffaloes''
banquet and yesterday his stock OF pa
kience gave way entirely.
Big Chief wants tooth pulled out, said
the Interpreter to Buff llo Bill. The cow-
boy dentist was sent for in a hurry and
soon appeared armed with big pair OF
pincers, which looked as though they had
lone duty before-cuttins of horseshoe
nails. Sitting Bull was soon ready for
the operation. He opened his mouth and
the dentist tapped tooth with the handle
Of the pincers.
| 'U.hl' said tho Chief.
"All right" said the operator.
The old fellows head was thrown bacl
and the pincers took a good hold on hi
red gums
"Yowi" said the Chic:
Steady" said the dentist.
A wrench and a pull followed; the ten
was filIei With q ourish of brown arm,
and buckskin.clad legs, turkey feathers
aud earrings.
A series Of bloodcurdling yells foateC
throu n the loosely happing.door OF skins
and the dentist picked himself up outside
In a badly demoral:ze condition. 1t wal
dangerous to go near the Old Chiefs ten
until nearly six o'clock, when the tooth
becoming nolsy again, brought the Siou,
Chieftain to terms. The dentist was sen
for q second time and came swearing IL

tion was successful, and a great three
pronged grinder in the pincers told o

IMPERIAL PURPLE.
Revival Of Shade That Has Been Banished
for Years.

Revival Of Shade That Has Been Banished
for Years.
Word reaches America that all shades
Of purple from ''prune dc Monsieur" to
that of that Of the deepest royal dye,
will again be in fashion. For num-
Der Of years this color has been ban
ished from fashions dteiierS, and upon
the promenade purple was never seen
on any but those who had an utter dis
regard for fashions dictation. Now
the despised hue is to assert its SUI
premacy," and in other than the strict
est sense will he royal purple once
more. The Princess Of Wales, it is
reported, has appeared in a costume Of
Lyons velvet of this color trimmed with
bands Of golden-brown beaver, which
makes another strong move in its favor.
The shade, however, is a most trying
one TO the complexion; not one woman
in forty really looks well in il. Where
there is lack of color. or there is the
least possible tinge of sallowncss in the
complexion, the proximity Of purple
produces a grayish sagey hue that Is
far from attractive. Then, again, to
don purple or violet neccssitates Il COM
plete accompaniment of accessories
which shall be in keeping with it,
"dittos," as they are phrased by the
tailor. The color hardly allows of any
admixture except pale brown, gold or
lighter shade Of its own particular hue,
and so dcspotic is this law that it may
well be given its new name. Imperial
purple. "-M. Y. Post.

A Valuable Historical Document.

Among the historical letters and
autographs now exhibited in the Kings
Library at the British Museum there is
a letter Of Edward vi. to the Bishops
in confirmation Of the use Of the Book
Of Common Prayer, certain evil-dis-
posed persons 'syns the apprehension
OF the Duke OF Somerset" having
"noysed and bruted abrode that they
shoulde have agayne their olde Laten
service, their coniourcd bread, and
water, with such like wayne and super
sticious ceremonies, as though the set
ting forth OF the said bOoke had been
the onelyc acte OF the aforcnamed
Duke" The letter, which is dated 25th
December, l5l9. gives command to the
Bishops TO collect all books Of service
the keeping whereof "should be lette
to the using of the said Booke OF Com
mon Prayers" and to "deiace and
abolish" them. Further, they are to
punish all forward and obstinate per-
sons who edo refuse to paye towardes
the fynding Of bread and wyne for the
holye Communion according to the
ordre prescribed in the said booke."

ana Distance.
There Is no telling Whit triumphs in
locomotlon are not in store for us III
the future. We are necessarily striv-
ing to "bring down" the time in every
thing that involves movement-horse-
racing, trotting, railroad travelling,
quick transit in cities, fast malls and
ocean sailing--and we are constantly
succeeding. Every year we strike of
few hours, q few minutes, or few
seconds and we are never satisfied. No
matter how fast ne move we are im-
patient TO move still faster, No matter
how low we have broHght down the
time there Is something In us that
keeps us striving TO bring it down still
lower. The crack steamships make
four hundred and seventy-iiye miles
day in their trips across the ocean, and
accomplish the passage in trille over
six days. But we are now told that
steam Is too slow; too large q proper.
ton of its power Is wasted on the enor-
nous machinery il acts upon, leaving
too small percentage to the work of
propelling the vessel-and ship is
building near New York which Is to
dispense with steam entirely and be
driven through the water by a
series Of continuous explosions, after
the manner of rocket shot
through air. Instead of a steamship,
it will be a gas-ship, the gas being
generated by steady and successive ex-
plosions of a chemical compound, and
actirS against the water at the stern of
the ship so as to drive her at rate of
speed twice or thrice as great as that
Of the fastest steamships. So much for
locomotion in water. But the fenceless
fields of upper air are TO be made navi-
gable, also. A Little Rock inventor Is
building an air-ship for this purpose,
and French ballooiiists are experiment.
ing in the same field. Perhaps the
Little Rock invention win prove fail
ure, as hundreds OF others have, and
the French experiments may yield un-
satisfactory results. No matter, Re
peated failures are steps towards sue
cess at last. The fact that steam as a
motor has reached its highest capacity
has driven inventors into the air, and
they seem determined not to cease
their efforts until air-traveling, with
wind as a motor, shall have become an
everyday affair. 1t is rather daring
to think the time will come when the
passage across the Atlantic will be
made in two days, and from st. Louis
to New York in ten hours; but is it not
more daring still to assert that these
things will never be doneP-St. Louis

He pleaded with her to say nothing about

about il for $780, they would all make so
much fun of him. But she laughingly
assured him it was too good to keep.ian she
must tellit.

fear of lidicule. He could not bear to be

At dinner he sat for some time in silence,

that's my last dram."
Mrs. Sarpy thanked him ioyfully, and as
s1red him that was the wish of her heart,

would, she would never tell the story of the
ghost And she never did. Mr.. Sarpy
poured the contents of the jug into the
