CURIOUS
A Few Words Abou a Cheyenne Char
aCIeT.

.Geo.L. Taylor, the curiosity dealer who
recently closed out his business in this
city to accept the superintendenting of a
permanent mining exhibit in Denver, wasan
odd fish. He was wag, philosopher, SYM
pathetic and steadfast friend and shrewd
business man all in one. He never wear
led singing the praises of Cheyenne and
could extol the excellence, genuinenCss
and utility of the wares in his wonderful
stock in tones that never failed to draw a
few dollars from the pocket OF the inno-
cent tenderfoot who purchased Connect
cut made arrows with the firm conviction
that they had been gathered from the
Custer battle field.
Taylor was one of the best fellows in the
world, with a talent for lying and a fund
of humor and stock of stories which would
have made him successful on the lecture
platform. George would not give cur
rency to an untruth which would harm
anyone for worlds, but delighted in perpc-
trating plausible yarns upon the unsus-
pecting. He constantly added novelties
to his collection of curios. One day it
would be a consignment of the product of
his bologna sausage and pretzel farm, fol
lowed by a shipment from his rock candy
mine. Then he would receive a crate of
electric bed bugs, supplemented by a
hogshead of mosquitoes brains. These
latter would invariably be offered to the
Inter Ocean at cost, with the announce
ment hat a cargo of alligator feet were en-
route.
1t was in the animal and reptile bust
ness that George shone with dazzling
brilliancY. A NANCY pun, the offspring
of halt-brccd Newfoundland and a scrub
bull terrier, he sold readily as n Siberian
poodle dog, while pointers and settlers first
seeing the light of day in Cheyenne barns
were, when on exhibition at his store ac-
c%ompanied by certified pedigrees, headed
with the English emblem. An aged par
rot that wheezilY calculated something
about Polly and a crack, was warranted a
bird too young to talk much yet.
Still, George would scorn to sWindle a
friend or cheat anyone who didn't init
mate, early in the transaction, that his
word wasn't to be depended upon. The
mans knowledge of animals, flowers and
minerals was something remarkable, prob
ably excelling that of many reputed au-
thoritics who prefix professor to their
names.
Everyone misses Taylor and wishes him
well in his new location.

DETROIT, Feb. 4.-The Humane So
ciety authorities discovered a peculiar case
of inhumanity and enforced restitution
to-day. Until ten years ago Andrew Nc
u was a prominent man in public at
fairs. He was wealthy, had a large
family and seemed as far from possible
misfortune as any man in Detroit. About
that time he was 81 years, his.mind began
to fail him, and soon he was unable to
transact his business with safety or profit.
Trustees or relatives were appointed to
care for him and his estate, and gradually
all but his very nearest friends lost sight
of him, and it would appear finally forgot
him altogether. He was in fact dead to
the world till this afternoon, when an
agent of the Humane Society found him
in a small room adjoining a kitchen in a
house rented from his estate, His condi-
ton was most shocking. He had no fire
for ten days at least, and his room was
cold and damp. HIS bed was foul and
consisted of what had some time been a
mattress and one thin blanket.
Out of this hole Mr.. McDuff, now II
years old, had not been for weeks. He
could give no rational explanation OF his
shocking condition, but from others it was
learned that his relatives we're paying but
So weekly for his support, and they never
cape near him; that despite the fact that
he is worth $40, 600 he received less atten-
ton than is ordinarily given a begGar.
Mrs. McDuffs condition was found to be
better, mainly because she is able to help
herself somewhat. A son and a son in
law are both said to be living in luxury ON
the earnings of the estate. The father
and mother were both terribly emaciated
from lack of food, which, especially in the
case of Mr.. McDuff, was the poorest kind
and trifing in quantity. An effort will be
made by the Humane Society to place the
punishment for this scandal where it be-
longs. Meantime, the aged couple are
now, for the first time in years, sur
rounded with sympathetic friends and all
the necessary comforts.

Will be Armed to the Teeth.

WASHINGTON, Feb. lowing to the
alarming frequency of the attacks of rob.
bers upon mail trains on the sparsely set
tied routes in the far West, and the al
most constant peril in which the lives of
postal employees are placed by these ma
RAIDERS, the post Office department has
determined to arm, at the expense of the
government, every postal employe on these
exposed railroad routes with weapons of
the most effective kind. They will be
supplied with an abundance of ammuni-
ton and every convenience necessary for
prompt work, and will thus be prepared
to successfully defend themselves and the
mails from the attacks of these road
agents however skilfully planned or unex-
pectedly made.
This action has been taken at the car
nest solicitation of General Superintend
ent Nash of the railway mail service, who
has already taken steps to carry the new
order into immediate effect.
1t is said that many of the Western
railroads have also decided to arm their
trainmen and it is expected that with
arms in the hands of trainmen and ex.
press messengers (already armed) and
postal employees, train robberies in the
far West will be less frequent in the fu.

collision occurred this evening between
the non-union men at the Solarir iron works
and the strikers, in which three persons
were injured and one l6-year-Old lad
named Joseph Kenna fatally shot. The
works, which had been idle for the past
two months on account of the strike, re-
sumed operations with eighty colored
men, formerly members of the Amalgam-
ated Association. These non-unionists
were escorted to and from their homes by
police.
This afternoon a large number of strik-
ers and sympathizers gathered about the
mill and when the non-unlon men came
out surrounded by officers the strikers
followed, applying many offensive epithets
to the negroes. After a couple of blocks
had been thus passed the strikers began
throwing rocks, when without warning
several negroes drew. revolvers and opened
fire upon the crowd. The mob broke and
ran in all directions, while the officers
rushed among the excited colored men
and ~endeavored to stop the shooting.
Between thirty and forty shots were
fred, however, before they were gotten
under control. Besides young Kenna
three men are known to have been shot,
but their names or the extent of their in
iuries cannot be ascertained, as they were
taken away by friends. 1t is presumed
that others received injuries of some kind.

IN A LIONS JAWS.
Narrow Escape From Death Of
Mile. Senide
During a Performance in Dub
lin With Lions.
Shocking Case Of humanity
in Detroit.
In the Jaws of Death.

LONDON, Feb. AT the conclusion of
a performance at Lowry's music hall in
Dublin last night Mile. Senide, one of the
performers, placed her head in the lions
mouth for the purpose of having her
photo taken in that position. A sudden
flash Of light caused the beast to close his
jaws, and he retired growing to the cor
ner of his cage, dragging his helpless vic
tim with him. Then he shook the girl
violently, tearing her bare breast with his
claws. The attendants at once sprang to-
ward the cage and attacked the lion with
irons and finally succeeded in beating him
off. Mile. Senide was removed to her
lodgings and medical aid was summoned.
Her neck, shoulders and breast and one
arm are terribly lacerated, but she is still
alive.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-George II. VIII
liams was given a seven year term for
burglary Tuesday. His wife, an honest
looking little woman, swooned away in
court, and was so much overcome that
DR.. Grey took charge of her and lodged
her in the insane department for the
night. Yesterday she wanted to see her
husband, but was refused admittance at
the jail. Then Judge Clifford, who had
tried him, was appealed to and had Will
liams brought into court for a parting in
terview with his wife. They were al.
lowed to remain together an hour. When
he was taken back the little woman broke
down completely. She had no money,
home or friends, and was in a delicate
condition. She waited an opportunity to
ask Judge Clifford to reduce the sentence,
but did not get it. Bailiff w. r. Brain
erd finally took her home with him for
the night, saying that his wife would care
for her.

Light for Cold Weather.

New YORK, Feb. Miss Coffin, the
Cincinnati heiress who is reported to be
in love with Kyrle Bcllew, is still in Jcr-
sey City. Fear of the little slip of paper
which awaits her on this side of North
river is what keeps her there. for this
paper is an order committing Miss Coffin
to B~loomingdale asylum. Miss Coffin
still refuses, in a blunt, curt fashion, all
offers of assistance from strangers, and at
the same time persists in making unnec.
essary condolences to those whom she has
met about the hotel. She seems to be
thoroughly posted as to her legal rights
and limits, and attributes her demeanor to
untoward circumstances. II would be
pleased to know" she cries, IF it is not
enough to make a woman insane to be
limited to two handkerchiefs, a cake of
soap, and a toothbrush for q wardrobe. "

ALI Quiet in Shenandoah.

PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Feb. Accounts
from Shenandoah this morning report all
quiet, and the collieries, the resumption
of which occasioned the outbreak, are
steadily at work. No further arrests have
been reported,
The Shenandoah affair has occas1oned a
marked revulsion of feeling not only
among the general public but also among
the more conservative and intelligent
classes of the striking miners, and it is
believed will exercise the desired effect in
breaking the backbone of the strike and
bring about an early general resumption.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4,-The wal in freight
rates instituted by the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railroad is the one topic
discussed in railroad circles. The St.
Paul made a cut of two cents on all
classes of freight to Missouri river points
to-day and followed it up later with an
additional cut of one and one-half cents
on irst-class and three cents on second.
This further cut wa met by the South
western Association and also by the Chi
cago & Northwestern. As far as Omaha
and Council Bluffs are concerned the
Northwestern has also met the st. Paul's
cut of ten cents to Minneapolis and st.
Paul, but no steps have been taken to
stop the rate cutting and the question is,
where will it end?
