BILL NYE ON COWBOYS.
The Crumbling Brink of an
Awful Eruption.
BUFFALO BILLS BAD EXAMPLE
Follow the Cow Pa L
to Fame.

The cable news from London would
seem to indicate that the coming year
will witness hegira of armed goslings
from England, who intend to prosecute
the cow gentleman and Deadwood stage
robbing business on the frontier. 1t is,
perhaps, unnecessary to state that Buf-
falo Bill, the graceful and courteous
hirsuit wonder from Nebraska, is
responsible for this. Wherever he has
gone with his eccentric, dark red, self
made Indians and his speckled broncos,
he has sown the seeds of discomfort in
the grammar schools and bred open
rebellion and mutipy in the primary
department.
Look along the red-hot trail of B.
William, and you will find the Ameri-
can and foreign youth alike turning
with undisguised loathing from his
educational pursuits to immense his legs
in pair of chaperajos, to WELD the
brief but startling quirt, to Nhoop-up
the red-eyed, naughty and high,tailed
Texas maverick, or to shoot large,
irregular holes into the otherwise poorly
ventilated savage.
Gentle reader, We stand upon the
crumhling brink of great cowboy
eruption from England, Ireland and
Scotland. the continent of tbs great
Orient itself. do not think that Buff
falo Bill had any idea, when he started
in to rehearse bis great society drama
and horse play, that it would

tains and India coral strands. II he had,
he would have hesitated about it. Now,
alas it is too late. He is billed for the
Coliseum, and already people from
Syrsilla and the citron groves of St.
Lawrence County are coming into town,
bringing their dinners and hitching
their teams to the fence directly be-
hind the Coliseum.
Hard, blue preserved seats, l am
told, are being erected around the
amphitheatre, and the Roman schools
are closed. Everything points towards
a great festal day, if that would be the
right kind of day to use in this place.
Is it 10 be wondered at that we will soon
see Roman cowboys, who ought to be
in school, landing here on our coast and
inquiriug at the corner of Broadway
and Chambers Street, where they car
find an Indian outbreak to quell? May
we not look for the Arabian and
Chinese contingent 6y next spring,
armed to the teeth and asking at an in
telIigence Office when the Deadwood
stage is expected, so that they can at
tack it and rob it few times?
1 saw one of these kindergarten COW
boys get off a train once, and 20
through the town. Afterwards l saw
him come back. He looked different
somehow. When he got off at the
station, noticed that he had long hair,
which was tied back with pale blue,
watered silk ribbon. He had long legs,
which seemed to extend from his
Adams apple to the ground. A mar
row, four-in-hand necktie denoted
where his legs terminated and his head
began.

he LOOKED REAL SWEET.

When he took the return train, there
was nothing to identify him except
strawberry mark, which he carried
carefully concealed in shawl strap.
Boys who sigh to dash nadly across
the plains to follow the cow path to
fame, do not know the danger and DESC
lation such life involves. There are
two classes of cowboys in the west. viz. ::
The working cowboy and the lay figure
cowboy. The latter remains in town
and rolls cigarettes while he smokes
fiercely through his nose. He talks
learnedly of cattle brands, corrals,
round ups, "cavvayards," ranges, bands,
punches and herds, but really don't
know range COW from Texas steer.
The genuine cowboy is not always
beautiful, but he is conversant with his
business, knows every brand in his dis
trict at least, and who owns it; is brave
where bravery is most needed, that is.
in the discharge of his duty. To stand
watch all night in blizzard, and hold
band of restless, believing cattle
from stampeding, to ride all the next
day half-asleep in his saddle, to fall
occasionally from his pony when the
latter makes a mistake and steps into
a prairie dog village, or to have a col
lar-bone broken when fifty miles from
a physician, are some of the features
of cowboy life which the boys who run
away from school to cross the Missouri
do not consider.
Moreover, it would be well if every
boy in America, or elsewhere, would
write In his own hat with blue pencil
that there is no rose-bordered road to
success; and that even the man that is
born beautiful and marries rich has to
fight his way. The great west does not
SO sorely need pretty men with buck
skin clothes, as it does good citizens
who are willing to work. Wherever
the sun shines, the grass grows, or
water runs, the young man who will
give good days work for fair days
wages will surely be promoted as he
deserves it. It may not be funny, but
it is the never-dying truth that indus
try, integrity and perseverance for
symmetry, genius and hair.-BiH Nye.

A Deeply Affected Jury.

The iurymen who rendered TIE verdict of
S. j. Robinson, in Boston, list Saturday,
were so deeply affected when they came
into the court room to announce their find
ing that they discharged their final duty in
the case with considerable embarrassment.
Tears choked the utterance of the foreman,
and it was with difficulty that he could
make himself understood. And yet ii the
woman is guilty of all the charges brought
against her she deserves neither sympathy
nor pity 1t would not be possible to find
a more heartless and cruel human being in
the whole country. She is worse than the
Blenders of Kansas were, who murdered
travellers who stopped at their wayside inn
1t is charged that she murdered Moses, her
husband; Lizzie j., her daughter; Willie j.
her son; Prince Arthur Freeman, her broth
er-in-law; Thomas A. Freeman, his son
Mrs. 2. A. Freeman, her sister; and Oliver
Sleeper, who boarded in her house, and is
supposed TO have been a distant relative.
Her alleged motive was to get the insurance
which was upon their lives. She did not
poison them all at the same time. The
crimes were committed according to the
charges against her, several months apart.
The first was committed in February, 1885
and the last several months ago. Some OF
the insurance money she got. Some of it
remains unpaid.
1t is almost impossible to believe that
anyone would be guilty of such crimes as
those with which Mrs. Robinson is charged
and yet the testimony against her was very
strong, She showed no emotion whatever
until the verdict was rendered, and then
she became virtually physical wreck and
had to be carried from the court room.
Massachusetts, is the home of Jesse Pomeroy
1t seems TO be great State for horrible
crimes.

Lahorers North and South.


The testimony in the investigation which
a Congressional Committee is making Of the
causes of tile strike OF the Reading coal
miners will be read with surprise by those
who have been led to believe that Drotec-
ton is such a good thing for American
worknlen. The miners it seems do not earn
on an everage more than $50 each year,
and out of this they have TO pay from sou
TO 900 year to the coal company for house
rent, and about S. 30 a year taxes. The
earnings of the laborers are not as great as
those Of the miners, but all who desire
steady work find it to their advantage to
purchase their supplies at stores owned by
the coal companies where they are charged
higher prices than ese~ here
The tax is collected from the coal com
panes and is deducted from the wages of
the workmen. Mr.. Tillman, member Of
the investigating committee, thought that
there must be some mistake about this tax,
but when he inquired further about it he
was assured that the correct amount had
been given. He said that what surprised
him most was that, being a poll tax and
nothing more, it was more than four times
as large as the poll tax which the colored
laborers of the South are expected to pay,
and about which the Republican organs are
all the time making such an cutlery.
The workers in the Pennsylvania mines
cannot avoid payment of the tax for which
they are assessed, but the colored laborers
of the South are not forced to pay their
poll tax, and, as n matter of fact, a very
large percentage of them does not pay it.
In the fall of 1886 Mr.. Blaine made several
speeches. in which he declared that the
workingmen in the mines and mills of Penn
sylvania were much better paid than the
colored workingmen in the mines and mills
of Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia. The
testimony that is being taken i'll the Read
ing Investigation shows that if the
workingmen of the South are not as well
paid and as well treated in every respect as
those Of Pennsylvania, their condition
is pitGble indeed. As a matter of
fact, they are very much better
off, and even the colored plantation laborers,
when all their surroundings are taken into
consideration, work less and live more com
fortably than the dependents of the protec-
ton barons of Pennsylvania.
The coal mine and iron mill owners of
Pennsylvania are, as a rule, millionaires.
They make immense profits, but they do
not divide them with their operatives.
However much high protective tariff does
for them, they do nothing for those in whose
interest they alege they demand such a
tariff. AS the facts come out, and they
are coming out in the Reading investiga-
ton, it is seen that protection is not wanted
for American workmen, but for American
| monOpOlists

An Interesting Suit.

Mrs. Mary E. Wilson, of New York, is
smart young woman, but taere are other
people in that city who are trife smarter
Mrs. Wilson's maiden name was Keane,
and she came from New Jersey. She and
Jacob Wilson, Jr., were schoolmates in
Uniontown, n. j., and he was her ar
dent adlnirer When she was lG
she moved to New York and went
into a dry goods store as sales
woman. Young Jacob was just merging
into mans estate and as Miss Keane had
grown in beauty as she had grown in years
his affection for her became so strong that
he insisted on marrying her at once. He
pressed his suit with vigor, and at the same
time managed to develop unsteady habits.
She rejected his offers of marriage, and in
a fit of desperation he placed pistol to his
head and pulled the trigger. The bullet
made an ugly wound, but after several
weeks nursing in hospital he got well.
1t was at this point that Mr.. Jacob Will
son, Sr., stepped upon the scene. He thought
Miss Keane could save his son from a life
of dissipation, and he offered her out of his
$3.50, 900 a house and lot in Uniontown,
$4,000 in money and 500 a month for
pocket change, if she would marry the
young man. The contract was duiy exc
cuted, and two days afterward young
Jacob stepped out of the hospital and Miss
Keane became Mrs. Wilson She deposited
her contract and her money with her father
! in-aw for safe keeping.
The old man received a call from the
reaper one morning and his brother came
forward to wind up the estate. He said
there was no contract among Tho papers.
| and he and the widow laid claim to most of
the property. Mrs. Wilson, Jr, brought
suit in New Jersey for the house and lot
and lost, and now she is suing in New York
for the $4,000 The evidence goes to show
that there was a contract, but the docu-
ment itself is not forthcoming and she will
probably lose again.
She has about succeeded in reforming her
husband, but she hasn't got her money As
was remarked, she was smart. but not quite
smart enough. She has discovered that
other peoples safes are not the best place to
keep ones contracts, and that $4,000 i'll
money i'll hand affords more solid comfort
than when left with a rich father in law
who has graSping brother However, she
may yet be happy with the young man
whom she has reformed

Pamela in Town.

The fair Pamela came to town,
To London town in early summer
And up and down and round about
The heaux discussed the bright newcomer
With 'Gadzooks sir and "Ma'am, my duty"
And odds my life, but It's a Beauty
To Ranelagh went Mistress Pam,
Sweet Mistress Pam, so fair and merry,
With cheek of cream and roses blent,
With voice of lark aud lip of cherry
Then all the beauX vowd twas their duty
To win and wear this country Beauty.
And first Frank Lovelace tried his wit,
With whispers bold and eyes still holder;
The warmer grew his saucy fame,
Cold grew the chaEning fair and colder.
Twas icy bosom Cruel beauty
ITO love- sweet Mistress, It's duty"
Then Jack Carew his arts essayed.
With honeyed signs and feigned weeping.
Good lack! his billets bound the curs
That pretty Pam she wore a-sleeping.
Next day thes. curs had richer beauty,
So well Jacks fervor did its duty.
Then Cousin viii came up to view
The way Pamela ruled the fashion;
He watched the galants crowd about,
And flew into a rustic passion.
Left Squire. his mark, on divers faces,
And pinked Carew beneath his laces.
Alackl one night at Ranelagh
The pretty Syboots fell adjusting;
And all the mettled bloods look'd round
To see what caused that Uelltae flushing.
Up steppd grizzled Poet Fellow
To dance with Pam salterello.
Then Jack and Frank aud viii resolved,
With hand on sword and cutting gances
That they would lead that Greybeard forth
To livelier tunes and other dances.
But who that saw PANS eyes a-shiuing
With love and joy would see her pning?
An-oons. Their wrath cooled as they looked
That Poet stared as fierce as any!
He mighty proper man,
With blade on hip and inches many.
The beaux all vow'd it was their duty
To toast some newer, softer Beauty
Sweet Pam she bridled, bIushd and smiled
The wild thing loved and could but show it
Mayhap some day youll see in town
Pamela and her grizzled Poet.
For sooth he taught the rogue her duty.
And won her faith, her love, her beauty.

Inventor Thomas A. Edison is in Chicago,
and one of the city papers modestly sug-
gests that he would confer a favor on the
citizens by inventing while he is there a
satisfactory rapid transit system, cheap
and reliable drainage system, an infallible
smoke consumer, Il sure and safe antidote
for billiards. gas-trust eradicator, and q
burglar extractor He can take an extra
day for the work if necessary, and present
his board bill to the City Council. Chicago
always was noted for her modesty. Any
other cIty would require twice as much
work for such liberal pay.
