HIs CHANCES BETrER THAN EVER.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 10-Dr. Pep
per returned from Washington this even
ing, where he had been in accordance with
previous arrangement in consultation
with Gen. Sheridan's physicians To a
reporter of the associated spress he said:
The bulletin issued Just after our consulta-
tion, represents accurately the generals
condition. On the whole his chances
OF restoration to comparative health
seem greater now than at any previous
time The most satisfactory feature is the
improvement in the hearts action. Not
only has it been sustained for four days
without any spell of failure, but
its force is slowly increasing, so that
its cavities are better able to expel the
blood with which they have been SO terri
bly, overdistended
THE ULTIMATE EFFECT.
"If this improvement is sustained for a
few days longer. it will naturally hasten the
disappearance of the secondary cOngestions
which have been so troublesome. These are
already subsiding. Gen. Sheridan's patience
and courageous determination are as great
as possible There is certainly good fight
ing chance, and every point is being
attended to. But every one of
experience knows what unexpected and
dangerous turns may be taken in such
cases. Another consultation will be held
next Sunday afternoon, unless some change
in the symptoms seems to render it desir-
able sooner.

Discoveries Often Made by the Captains
of Ocean Steamers-Cauaht.
Hardly an ocean steamer, bound for Amer
lea. leaves a port in Great Britain but has
four or five unfortunate creatures slowed
away somewhere 1t IS within the expert
ence of Captains to make the discovery that
they have twenty, or even more, Of these IN
desirable passengers aboard and that they
have as many more mouths to feed. This
makes some shippers savage, as when they
sail they have stores only proportionate to
their crew. with due provisions for delays
from stress Of weather, viii Of God, etc.
The stowaways are recruited from all sorts
and conditions of men, but as general rule
they are mostly incapabies and the scum OF
the streets of London and other great cities.
It can be truthfully said OF them as class,
that their leaving is usually for their
country's good. They hang around the docks
until an opportune moment arrives for ship
ping aboard Usually they select ships which
are taking in a cargo Of pipes or some other
material in which they can make comfort
able hiding place. As a general rule they are
assisted by the bumpers" or snip laborers,
with whom they are leagued, and who, while
loading ship with brick, can easily build
up ~ lI1Te room III u udi n SoA 1ci III ''AAASo
stowaways can be accommodated with COM
parative comfort.
When the cargo consists Of pipes the stow
always creep inside them and wait patiently
until they think the pilot has gone off and
the vessel is well away from land This plan
has its inconvenience, as directly ship
leaves port tie officers start upon tour OF
investigation and often throw 'awakeners"
into the pipes When they hear an appre-
ciative howl they make the stowaway crawl
out. The majority of the men, however
either escape the missiles or bear the sings
and arrows of outrageous fortune with Spar
tan fortitude, because it often happens that
after the officers are satisfied that there is
no one there, in good time the stowaways
come from below and begin to inhale the
ozone in safety.
When ship is too far out from land to
send a boat ashore, the captain is reduced to
the necessity Of taking all the work he can
get out of the stowaways, and he generals
does this pretty efectually if there is only I
moderate consignment Of them. But it is
hard for any captain to find work for twenty
extra men. When overwhelmed by such
number the sInartest are put to work as deck
hands, the rest are treated as storage pas
senGers and handed over to the police OF ar

ing whatever The observant priest was an
accomplished linguist, having an intimate
knowledge of ali the modern as we'll as of
many of the ancient tongues. He thought
the matter over for several years, until, as
he says, lone sleepless night the whole frame
work Of the universal language flashed out
before me-"
Voapuk is one of numerous attempts at
solving the problem of q common language.
Putting the question of their respective merits
entirely aside, it is sufficient to say that
Volapuk is the only attempted universal
language that has ever had tho slightest
chance of life, and that no other attempt has
ever passed beyond the experimental stage
or been actually used, to any considerable
extent, for the communication of thought
It's inventors aim was, first, to produce a
language capable of expressing thought with
the greatest clearness and accuracy; second,
to make its acquisition as easy as possible 10
the greatest number of human beings. These
ends he resolved to seek by observing tho
processes of the many languages with which
he was acquainted, following them as models
wherever they are clear, accurate and SIM
pie, but avoiding their faults, obscurities
and difficulties. He took from the English
more root words than from any other Ian
guage, since English is spoken as a mother
tongue by moro millions than any other.
Forty per cent. of the root words are Eng
lsh. The grammar Of the language is very
simple There are no unusual sounds 1t
can be learned by a child unable to read or
write any language.
For considerable time after the appear
ance of Schloyer's grammar his adherents
were few. His project first spread to Aus
tria, where the first society for its p2opaga-
ton was formed at Vienna in 1882. Until
1854 its adherents outside Of the German
speaking countries were very few and scat
tered, but in that year it invaded Holland
and Belgium, and a great many societies
sprang up in these countries 1t was intro
duced to the French nation in 1855 by Pro
fessor kerckhoffs, and many noted French
men became interested 1t is now studied
enthusiastically in the United States, espe-
cialIy in Boston and New York. 1t is not
altogether impossible that it may some day
actually be what its inventor intended it to
be-the universal language

VOLAPUK'S INVENTOR DEAD.
Father Schleyer, of Constance, Baden. and
His Life Work.


The parish priest of the beautiful little
town Of Constance, Baden, Germany, died
the other day.
He lived quietly, for many years, on the
historic green island of Maineu, surrounded
by the limpid waters of Lake Constance
His name was Schleyer, and he was very
remarkable mana scholar, a poet, by many
considered genius. His brain conceived
and evolved wonderful thinG-a universal
language, to be spoken and written by ell
nations.
Father Schleyer was the inventor of
Volapuk. Yet, when he died, the big New
York papers devoted but few lines each to
his death.
One million people are now studying Vola-
puk. Volapuk societies can be numbered by
the hundreds There are great business
houses all over the world that use Volapuk
daily in their correspondence. The fact that
the language has grown to such proportions,
is studied by people of so many different
tongues, end even recognized by great lin
gusts to be perfectly practicable, is pretty
good indication that the time was ripe for
the Introduction Of the universal language,
and that the need for such language had
begun to be felt
The story OF how Father Scnleyer con-
ceived the idea Of the invention of Volapuk
is interesting. Nearly ten years ago he was
travelling extensively in the interior of Aus
tria He was struck by the number Of Ian
guages spoken by the people of the different
provinces They each had and have a dis
tinct language, or rather dialect, of their
own. These dialects are corruptions, and
very bad ones at that, Of all the known Ian
guages Of the civilized globe Some speak
villainous French, others murder the Ital-
ian, many butcher the German and English,

Indiana differs from all its aeighbors in
the fact that it was settled first on the west
ern border; there was well built French
Miami town on the Wea plains over a CEN
fury ago, and some 5000 white people were
in the Wabash and Ohio valleys while Kill
buck and Cap Anderson, Delaware In
dams, still held rule where indianapolis now
stands Nevertheless The indianapolis Jour
nal and Sentinel have been published as
weeklies and dailies something over sixty
years. But the location Of Indiana is not
favorable to the growth of great cities or
great daily papers, and it is matter Of sur
prise and compliment to their managers
that the Indianapolis dailies have attained
such high rank. On the other hand, no
state in the Union has a more influential
country press than Indiana. Indeed, it is
doubtful if the country weeklies in any
other state exercise as much power in poll
tics The absence Of any overwhelming
central power appears to have stimulated
talent in the smaller cities and towns, and
decentralization in literature and politics
has been carried to its utmost practicable
limits in that state.

oxen, cow and other necesSarieS to all who
locate on farms, he adds:
1--WE are now nearly all located upon farms
and entitled to this, but the government has
not yet made any surveys to enable US to
take out our certificates of allotment The
same treaty also promises schools and III
structors for period of twenty years, but
about ten years OF the treaty had expired
before any school or teachers had been
given us.
''We are not at all opposed to disposing of
any surplus lands we may have if a fair
proposition is made TO US. We have full faith
in the good intentions of the Great Father
and his desire to do justice to the Indians,
also in the lawmakers, when they know the
facts, and we trust to the fair minded consid-
Grafton Of all good white people in advocating
justice and right toward U.s.
THE rumors that the Sioux are liable to
resort to arms TO oppose the act are totally
without foundation. We are now trying
to live like white people and are making con-
siderable progress in civilization"
The discussion calls to mind the peculiar
hardshfps Of the Sisseton and Wahpeton
Sioux, who have, with rare exceptions, re-
manned at peace with the whites from the
first, and were yet overwhelmed in the gen
eral changes that followed the Minnesota
raassacres Of 1862. In 1851 they sold all their
lands in Iowa and Minnesota save reserva-
ton on the upper Minnesota river, and were
to receive $50, 600 a year for twenty-five years.
Little Crow, one of their chiefs, and q few OF
his followers joined in the raids of 1862; but
most of the bands remained peaceful. Never
tneless, in February, 1868, the United States
abrogated ali the old treaties, and the Sisse-
ton and Wahpeton Sioux lost everything. A
