CHIEF COLOROW.

the river banks, cut their hair, and other wise gave vent to their grief at the approach ing demise of the great chieftain.
 When visited by an interpreter a ld asked if he wanted to talk before dying, the old fellow at first thoughtfuliy shook his head, but followed by saying he had been wronged and persecuted by the whites and that some of his own people, the White River Utes, had talked two ways, meaning they had deceived him. Upon being questioned regarding the report he had caused to be sent to the depart ment at Washington relating to his losses, he said with one exception his claims were true. He has always allowed the impression to prevail that soma of his followers were killed at Rangely, but upon his deathbed he denied this statement He said none were killed, but he wanted the government to think so, believing thereby to gain sympathy and a settlement of his losses
 He admitted that the two Indians whom Kendall tried to arrest stole the horses, but he had offered to let the whites whose horses had been stolen select any two horses out of his band to satisfy them. This offer was refused. Just few minutes before the old chief died he called Gus his son. to him, and asked to be taken out to the bank of the White river, where he was laid on his blanket and died among the willows of the stream upon which he had passed the most of his years.
 Immediately after his death, as is the GUS tom, some of the younger members of the band mounted ponies and rode to the ranges, where thirty or forty of the best horses were shot, the Indian belief being that the spirits of the horses accompany the spirit of the chief to the happy hunting grounds.

Needed Improvements in Railway Cars.
 The compulsion used to dispose of stoves in railroad coaches has led fromone thing to another, until now it is no longer question of safety, but of sanitation. It is demanded that Cars be so heated that one passenger shall not be at tho mercy of another, who wishes a window open that shall let draught on his neighbcr. The only escape from this, and the fatal colds caught by the weaker and sensitive passengers, will be in partial adoption of the apartment system. This sanitary demand is associated with an other, no less important; that is the careful supervision of the supply of water placed in the tanks. This is often of vile sort, only usable owing to the ice placed in it; but for all that a source of poison to all who do use it. Nor are the closets on many lines de gently cared for; so that, from a sanitary point of view, they are unsafe for the Eccu- pants of the ars.-Globe-Democrat.

A Cowboy on Trial.

CHAMBERsBURG, Pa, Dec. 13.-Thomas Welsh, a handsome young cowboy from Miles City, M. T., was placed on trial here for the murder of Diggs Little, whom he shot in September last in a quarrel about woman Welsh was somewhat surprised that he should be arrested for killing the man, and said he was not accustomed to eastern ways in such affairs. Little had borne a bad reputation, and the citizens are inclined to thank the cowboy for ridding the town of @ dangerous man. Welsh says that if he can get back west he will never venture to the east again

THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG.

Two Pennsylvania Regiments Disagree
 Over the Erection of IA Monument.
 GETTYSBURG, Pa, Dec. Ray the arrest of Capt. John Reed, of Philadelphia, repre- senting the Seventy Pennsylvania in- fantry regiment, . legal battle oyer the location of a monument has begun. During the famous charge of Pickett against the now well known "bloody angle" this regi- ment occupied a position several hundred yards in the rear of the front line, and, ao- cording to the testimony of prominent officers in the brigade, did not respond when called up during the crisis, but after Pickett's men were routed score or more of them rushed to the stone wall and picked up two flags on the ground bravely held through the whole fight by the Sixty-ninth Pennsylvania, wha were busy caring for the wounded.
 The Seyenty-second veterans insist on oc. cupying a position with the Sixty-ninth, while the Battlefield Memorial association insist that the historically correct position in the rear is the spot for their memorial to stand. The association has sole control of the grounds, and the efforts of the regimental association to secure a glory unearned by them cannot succeed. The man arrested was in the act of putting a foundation in direct opposition to the associations order He gave $500 bail, and returned to head quarters to report progress in what appears to have been intended to provoke legal meas. ureS,

PRIESTS FOR ITALIANS.
The Pope Will Send Missionaries Here to
 Minister to Their Spiritual Wants.

ROME, Dec. 13.-The Observator Romano publishes the pope's letter to the American bishops relative to the care of Italian emi- grants to the United States His holiness deplores the fact that many Italians are forced by poverty to emigrate from their native soil. only to find themselves in a worse position than ever. Great danger, he says, attends their souls both on the voyage and on their arrival, owing to the difficulty of their meeting priests who are able to speak the Italian language The pope therefore charges the propaganda to study carefully the twofold question of how to promote their religion and material welfare, and in- forms the American hierarchy that it has been decided by the propaganda to send priests from Italy to America to minister to the necessities of Italians arriving there His holiness says that he would be pleased if the American bishops would facilitate the task of these priests by suggesting appropri- ate changes in their sacred duties to meet the exigencies of their special work.

A Story That Gen. Farnsworth Swore at
 President Cleveland.
 :HIcAGo, Dec. 13.-The Tribune has dis pasch from Washington which says:
 'tOne of the most sensational incidents known at the White House for many day occurred last week. Gen. Farnsworth, of New York, who was one of the presidents closest friends and advisers when Grover Clevel and was governor of New York. called at the executive mansion to urge the ap- pointment of his friend, Capt. Bourke The president is reported to have said: Earns worth, I'd like to make this appointment. 1 know Capt. Bourke is in every way worthy and competent, but can't do it. There are certain reasons, which in no way reflect upon your friend Bourke, why I can't do it.
 And here, according to reports which are of army origin, Farnsworth lost his temper. Sore and disappointed at the failure of his old friend to grant him this favor, he hotly exclaimed: Grover Cleveland, you can make this appointment if you want to- Omit your fooling and make it
 1.-The president naturally resented the tone and language of his caller, whereupon Farms worth beside himself with anger, told the president to go to hades,' and, turning on his heel, rushed out the door and down stairs"

Pay of Newspaper Men.

The pay of men in position of any conse- quence in all our dailies is good. The pay of men who are subordinate is bad. Why, the writer on one of the great dailies of New York city who has made the deepest, the widest, the most creditable mark during the last two years receives the extraordinary sum of $50 week, is not permitted to do any outside work, and finds appearing in a syndicate of papers, the profit of which goes to the employer, the very matter prepared with care and skill and loyal industry
 Thirty dollars is large weekly income to the ordinary reporter. You will be sur prised to know that there arc men on these great dailies to whom a weekly bill of $15 is an amazement.- in Chicago News.

TWO THEATRE FIRES.
The Chicago Opera House Burned-Fire Interrupts Mrs. Langtry's Performance in an Oswego, N. Y., Theatre.

The Chicago Opera House Burned-Fire
 Interrupts Mrs. Langtry's Performance
 in an OsweSo, N. Y., Theatre.
 CHICAGO, Dec 13-The explosion of a calcium light cylinder set the auditorium of the Chicago Opera house on fire fifteen min utes after the audience had been dismissed last night. The entire theatre portion of the building was wrecked The management of the theatre have always made it their boast that their house was the only really fireproof building in the city The stage and audi torium occupied the area made by the eleven story building, corner of Clark and Wash ington streets, opposite the court house. After it was first built it was found necessary to entirely remodel the interior of the theatre at great cost.
 $ When it was discovered that the place was on fire fifteen engines and full complement of fire apparatus were summoned, but the firemen were unable to control the flames, and great crowd was soon attracted to the scene.
 It is not thought that there was any loss of life but the Mccall Opera company, which was filling an engagement there this week, have lost all their wardrobe.
 David Henderson, the manager of the house, is owner in part of the Crystal Slip per" company, now playing in New York at
 
 What the loss will aggregate cannot now be made known.
 OswEGo, N. Y, Dec 13.-A large audience, comprising the most prominent people of the city, gathered at the Academy of Music last night to hear Mrs Langtry in "As in a Looking Glass" As the curtain was about to ascend on the last act there was an alarm of fire from the rear of the hall, and almost immediately thick clouds of smoke puffed up through large register in the main aisle. The audience arose, panic stricken, and surged toward the exits. People began olimb- ing over seats and pressing toward the aisles, and a frightful crush seemed imminent. At the first alarm the orchestra began playing, and several cool headed men sprang upon the | stage shouted that there was no danger, and called upon the people to pass out quietly. | Dozens of others mounted chairs in different parts of the room and urged the people tc keep cool This had wonderful effect. The excited throng stopped crowding, and some l even stopped and turned back for their wraps and rubbers. In two minutes the theatre was cleared without accident, just as flames sprang up through the floor, directly in front of the main entrance. The people who first rushed out sent in an alarm from the nearest box, and the speedy arrival of the firemer and of many friends of the people in the audience added greatly to the excitement The fire was soon extinguished It originated 1 in an overloaded furnace under the center aisle, near the main entrance.
 Mrs Langtry retained her presence o mind, ordered the removal of her wardrob. and left by way of a rear entrance, taking | refuge in an ad jacent restaurant.
