INFIDEL PAINE'S GHOST.
The Specter Said TO Be Meander-
ing About New Rochelle,

l.
ing About New Rochelle.
NEW YORK, July SIN the neighbor-
hood of New Rochelle, just to the north
ward of the town, there is ghostly an
imation among the residents. Perhaps
it is all device of the keepers of
boarding houses in the neighborhood,
who desire to interest and entertain
their guests. Nevertheless there are
hundreds of believers up there that the
apparition of Thomas Paine, the great
infidel, appears most perturbedly every
few nights. Paine was buried under what
has since become large walnut tree,
in sloping hay field. He lay until his
friends removed him to some higher
ground short distance away. The
former site of his resting place still re-
tains four posts that were the corners
of an Enclosure, but new mown hay
just now incumberS the ground, and
there is nothing of the old mound visi-
BILE. The monument erected to Paine
considerably later was planned to stand
on the original spot, hence the ashes of
Paine were to be removed, but the
owner of the land had horror of in
fidelity, and would neither give
away nor sell a square foot to be de-
voted to hOnOring his memory. There
fore, the stone was put over the place
where the remains had been reinforced.
1t is considerably Clipped, the sacrilege
having been committed IN part by relic
hunters, and in part by opponents of
the dead mans disbelief. Some of the
jewellers in the neighborhood are now
saying that they have seen a white
ghost fitting at night between these
two spots, sometimes rising high in the
air like cloud and sometimes seeming
to tread the ground with a light
step. A search developed three persons
out of the reputed many who stuck to
their declaration of having seen the
spook. But nobody could be found who
had heard Paine's ghost crying MOURN
fully, "Where is my grave? 1 have lost
my gravew and similar expressions of
anguish over the disturbance of his
final resting-place. 1t would not be well
to follow these stories from their cir
cumStantial rehearSalS in the stores and
barrooms clear back to their source, for
that might demolish them utterly, but
they are making large proportion of
the talk everywhere whiting five miles
of Thomas Paine'S monument.

with little sand paper to make them
adhesive, and these cards are then put
back in the case, where they are made
to stick very close together by the
means of the screw which moves the
partitions. The object of this trick is
to give the sharper in dealing the choice
of two cards. Another most useful
auxiliary of the provident gambler is a
diminutive and admirably made mirror,
not bigger than shilling. which yet
will hold jour countenance. The owner
fixes it on his knee and uses in dealing
and in games where players cannot see
their cards, by holding them over it.
The mechanical dealing box used at
the game of faro is no longer security
against cheating by sleight of hand, for
in Dougherty's collection are boxes
which allow two cards instead of one to
come up when the sharper touches a
small lever, his mirror subsequently
telling him which card to use.

A NiILLIoN-DoLLAR CLOAK.

The Red-andYe elbow Royal Man

but see what it cost. You don't
mean to say you wouldn't wear cloak
that cost s.. 0O0, 000?" said the stout man
in a satirical tone that indicated that the
woman he addressed was his wife.
The pair had stopped before the royal
feather cloak from the Sandwich Isl
andS that is spread out fan-Shaped in a
case in the national museum. This
cloak is computed to have cost in labor
$1,000 900. The native name for it is
mans. In the days when Hawaiian
beau or belle wanted little clothing, but
wanted that gorgeously coiored, this
cloak or mantle would have been con-
sidered Of more value, aestheticallv and
instrinSically, than ship load of Worth
costumes, and its happy pOSSessor might
truly be said to be in high feather. Since
the natives have adopted wide trousers.
lawn tennis shirts and four-in-
hand ties, its value lies chiefly in the
traditions that surround it. The man
tie, which is, Semi-circular, is four feet
long or deep, and it is III feet wide at
the bottom and % inches at the top
where IL goes around the neck. The
entire outer surface is made of
feathers of fine texture, giving the
whole the appearance of plush. The
prevailing coiors are red and yellow or
orange. The body is decorated with
large figures, crescent-shaped. of either
red or yellow feathers. The upper and
lateral borders are corded and decorated
with alternate tufts of red and yellow
feathers.
a legend on label states that this
feather cloak formerly belonged to
Kehuarkalani, one of the highest chiefs
OF the Sandwich islands. After the alb
olitiOn of slavery in 1S49 that chief re-
belled against the reigning king, and at

on the reservation; all have adopted
white mems dress, and with the eXcep-
ton of the grass dance, they have
dropped all heathenish practices and
customs.
A year ago they took land under the
severalty bill, but in all probability
these Indians will not relinquish any of
their vacant reservation until law has
been passed making better provision
for younger members of the tribes.
They number
FIFTEEN HUNDRED SOULS,
and there is apparently no increase in
population, as the deaths about equal
the births. Consumption and infiamma-
tory sore eyes that battle the best med
ical skill, prevail to some extent. The
government appoints physician, who
lives at the agency. Polygamy is not
countenanced on the reservation, with
the exception of the old Indians, who

tempted to re-establish the ancient re-
ligions. A sanguinary battle was
fought and Kehuarkalani was slain, and
this cloak, which he then had on, fell
into the hands of the conquerors, and
thus became the property of King
Kamehameha, by whom it was pre-
sennted to Capt. j. H. AuIick, u. S. N,
in 1S41. The cloak is now the property
of Capt. Aulick's grandson, Richmond
Ogston Aulick, who deposited it in the
National museum. The greaat value of
the cloak is due to the long time re-
quiTed to secure the feathers that COM
pose it and to manufacture the cloak.
The foundation is a network of olona,
or native hemp, and to it are attached
by fine thread of the same material the
feathers of birds found only in the Ha-
Waiian islands and very rare there. Re-
cent writers have declared that the bird
is now extinct. The feathers are woven
in so as to lap each other. and lie fat,
forming smooth, pluSh-like surface.
The inner surface is without lining and
shows the olona network and the quill
ends of the feathers. The cord of the
upper margin is prolonged so as to serve
as fastening at the throat. The yellow
feathers are obtained from the 90 or
UhO, and, as stated, are of great value,
as the bird is rare. very shy and difficult
to capture, and it has but very small
tuft of these feathers upon each
shoulder. The black feathers are from
the head and back of the same bird
its general plumage being glossy
black. The 90 is caught alive by means
OF bird lime; the yellow feathers are
then plucked and the bird released.
The red feathers are from the body and
neck of the Drepannis Coccinea, the
most abundant bird of the Sandwich
islands.
The Hawaiian Spectator, newspaper
published in 1889, refers to this, or a
similar mantle, as follows: ''Kawkeauli
has the mans, or feather war cloak of
his father. Te-Meha-Meha. 1t was not
completed until his reign, having Oc-
cation. A piece of nankeen valued at
$3.50 was formerly the price of five
of the yellow feathers. By this esti-
mate the value of the cloak would equal
that of the pureSt diamonds in several
of the European regalia, and including
the price of the feathers, not less than
million dollars worth of labor has been
expended upon it at the present rate of
computing wages"
A bunch of the yellow feathers called
hulu was received by the king from his
subjects in payment of a poll tax. and it
required many years to collect the ma
terial and manufacture one of these
nantes. Until recent years these man
ties were the royal robes of state, and
considered the principal treasures of
the crown; but European clothing has
entirely superseded them, and they are
not now manufactured. A beautiful
headdresS for women, called leiS, was
made of these feathers.
Another authority states that two yell
low feathers only are obtained from
each 90, and these are found under the
wings. When the much-prized feathers
are plucked the bird is set at liberty.
The price of the feathers, according to
this authority, was S1.50 for three, and
the time occupied in making the cloak
was estimated from so to 100 years.

most reliable information he is de-
scendant of French trader and is an
intelligent, shrewd man. He, like more
of the old-timerS, still clings to polyg-
amy, and has three wives. He is the
father of twenty children, of whom fif-
teen are living. He was scout under
Gen. Sibley, and in 1866 was elected
chief of the SiSseton and Wahpeton
tribes, and has documents showing his
appointment as chief by our government
for his valuable services during and
after the outbreak of 1862. He lives one
and one-half miles north of the agency
and has a large, comfortable dwelling
and bank barn. He keeps some fine
horses, and, like most Indians, loves a
race horse and frequently owns one that
can take in the shekels; he also does
considerable farming. The mission
school prepares Indian pupils for the
ministry, and they are sent West as
missionaries to labor among their peo-
pie. Quite number of the Indians
have been educated at Carlisle and
other Eastern colleges, aud speak the
English language tluently. The rising
generation of Indians on the reservation
all speak more or less English, while
the older Indians usually with their
graceful native pantOmime and few
words of English can make themselves
understood. NIcKHAM.

the more energetic farmers worked
along and did the best they could, while
others let their land go back for the

"hard up'' most of the time, they sold
nearly all of their ponies and sold wood
at neighboring towns and at Fort Sisse-

sis it ever hot out on the lake?" que
ried our reporter yesterday of an old
captain who was tanning himself in the
shade of a coal pile.
Hot! is it? Well, you are fresh.
Why. young man, if | should tell you
how high | have seen the mercury go

The reporter limited that no man of
sense would ever think of questioning
a mariners word, and the captain con-
tinued:

sailed the Orphan Girl that season. On
the 18th of July we were becalmed
with fleet about midlalle. Hot! Oh.
no! By 10 o'clock in the morning the
mercury marked 125 degrees in the

that"
''Is it possible?"
''By noon we had put out seven or
eight spontaneous fires, and the anchors
were then so hot we had to drop 'em
over to cool 'em. There were eight YES
sells of us and we dropped about the
same time"
"Yes?"
''Weil. sir, the result was boiling hot
water all around us for half an hour
which were nicely boiled. 1t was very
lucky for us, as the heat of the sun had

Keep Your Temper in Summer.


DR.. William F. Hutchinson in The American
Magazine for July.
The prime requisite for happy sum-
mer home is harmonious setting. When
the malign influence of Sirius reigns,
mental and physical strength decline
with increasing heat, and for the vast
majority who must face the music at
home there is no better protection than
the cultivation of content. As the
month passes, if its lapse be accom-
panied with the heat of former years,
there comes an amount of nervous
prostration that engenders nervous irri-
liability and family jars; and all good
home influences must be invoked to
keep the peace. Strive to keep your
temper.
Every failure to do this only makes
weaker bodily resistance to disease,
whose infnitesimal germs float upon
July heat as cork upon water, ready to
enter every door that the temperature
makes to be left ajar. Avoid drink. l
do not mean alcoholic stimulus alone,
which should never be taken except as
medicine, but prOmiscuous swallowing
of all kinds of fluids, whose only virtue
is that they are cold and wet. 1t is true
that when the skin is fully open and
blood serum freely passes through its
open pores, more water is needed than
in cooler months; but water is all that
is demanded.

tain four or five packs, separated from
each other by partition. Every card
is marked. though the uninitiated do
not see the marks, and the cheater
knows which will turn up. The
mark lies either in the printing of the
design at the back, which is more or
less shifted, or in the position of a GER
