Lap Dogs and Footmen.

There is another thing about life ir
London that struck me as sensible. At
the shop doors there are seats on one side
for the footmen. and opposite bench
with steel chains A carriage drives up,
and a lady alights with her dog. The
footman closes the carriage door and the
vehicle drives off to make room for an.
other. Then the footman takes her lady
ships canine pet and chains it to the
bench, while he seats himself on the
other. l have seen as many as Eve pretty
little dogs fastened in this way. and 50
accustomed are they TO the method there
is no quarreling. Ihave an idea they ex-
change gossip as London servants do, and
1t would be interesting to know what
these dogs think of high life in London.

"The Mills bill is only step, but it is
toward an object that the leaders of
Democratic thought and legislation have
clearly in mind. The important question
is not so much the length of the step as
the direction of it. Judging by the
executive message of December last, by
the Mills bill. by the debates in congress,
and by the st. Louis platform, the
Democatic party will, if supported by
the country, place the tariff laws upon a
purely revenue basis. This is practically
free trade--free trade in the English
sense. The legend upon the banner
may not be free trade-it may be the more
obscure motto tariff reform) but neither
the banner nor the inscription is con-
elusive, or, indeed, very important. The
assault itself is the important fact. y

The commissioners who have been en-

treaty with the Sioux Indians having at
last succeeded in their efforts with the
Dakota tribes, would do well to secure
the services of Chief Bullhead and go
over into Montana and convert the
bloody Chyennes. The progress made
by the tribes in the Indian Territory in
the acquisition of wealth and civilizing
qualities should serve as strong in
ducement to all other tribes in the coun-

fate of the remnant of the once power
full tribe of Comanches who followed
the lead of their incorrigible leader, the
murderous, bloodthirsty old Gironomo,
who must end their days in confinement,
should serve as sufficient warning to the
scattered remnants of the tribes who
have persisted in defying the govern
ment in its efforts to better their condi-
ton. The commissioners have done
well in their dealings with the Sioux and
are to be congratulated.

Charles Francis Adams letter in the
Kansas City Times on the subject of hot
winds in Kansas is but an endorsement
of the theory long since advanced and
accepted by many, i. e. that these winds
are due to the uncultivated condition of
the Indian Territory and the panhandle
OF Texas. As we have said before this
condition forms one of the strongest
arguments in favor of opening the Ter
ritory to white settlement. Since the
settlement of what was long known as
the ''Great American Desert" which
embraced large portion of this state,
and its transformation into gardens,
cultivated fields, orchards and forests,
has completely destroyed and removed
the blighting effects of the hot winds
upon the country north of the section
mentioned. Like conditions extended
south Of us and into the country named
will have ikeefects here and throughout
the southern portion Of Kansas lying
contiguous thereto.

DIAMOND ROBBERY.
$4,000 Worth Of Jewels Mysteri-
ously Stolen.
The Thieves Seemed Acquainted
with the Premises.
Only the Diamonds and $500 in Money
Carried on.

A heavy diamond robbery that took place
several days ago, and which every effort has
been made to hush up, is brought to light by
The EVENING World to-day.
Emanuel H. Hoexter lives with his wife
and eighteen year-old daughter OF sO6 East
One Hundred and Sixteenth street.
This number is a four-story apartment
house and the Hoexter family occupy the
western upper fat.
Last Saturday Mr.. Hoexter took his wife
and daughter down town to see the Demo-
cratic hosts parade. His apartments were
locked and he supposed unoccupied during
his absence.
and when he and his family returned home
they found that abopf 5000 worth of
valuable diamonds and iewelry and $500 In
money had been stolen during their absence.
The robbery is a very mysterious one. Mr..
Hoexter is certain that the jewels
were in his apartments when he e to
the parade. He discovered his loss soon
after reaching his house in the afternoon and
reported it at once to Inspector Byrnes.
investigate the case, but 80 far have not
been able to fasten the theft on any one.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoexter have been enjoined
to say nothing to any one about their loss;
how it happened IL they know, which is, of
course. doubtful.
Servants are employed in the house, and
their movements are under close surveillance.
The facts about the robbery have been
kept 30 quiet that all the neigh
bors know about it is that
some jewelry was lost on Saturday by Mrs.
Hoexter. They know nothing of the value.
Nearly all of the missing jeweiry was we'd
ding gifts.
The most remarkable part of the robbery is
that nothing but the jewelry and money were
disturbed, the thief or thieves, showing an
unusual knowledge of the locality.
During the absence of the family at the
parade, some neighbors heard a noise in the
Hoexter fiat. but thinking that 1t was made
by some one who belonged on the premises,
did not interfere.
