Several Indians passed through Bismarck
Thursday. saying that they were on their
way to Berthold Agency to visit their friends
here. It's believed, however, that they are
n pursuit of ono Of the Indians who is said
@ have signed the treaty for the opening OF
he reservation and to have left the reserva
lion several days ago. In conversation the
indians who were here stated that they
you'd never sign the treaty, and those who
IiCned would receive severe treatment.
These Indians are followers and admirers oil
Sitting Bull, and it is evident from their r.
II .rks that they are simply rep atins his
sentiments At council held near the
Standing Rock Agency recently, Sitting
Bull Gall and John Grass had Il vote taken
III tile question of opening the reservation.
IN rot one OF their followers vo:"a in earor
Of the Din. they took tho names OF all those
oproscd 10 the treaty, and stated that if they
c ,rncd hereafter that any Of these Indians
signed they would drive them from th.Ir
tribe and disown them. >The Inians WHO

AMI will soon be rc;,dy to put t!cir names

New York DOubloOn of 17S7.

Seating the reporter at table MT. Proskey went to large safe and took out one of the small drawers with which it was fitted. From this he took little chamois skin bag containing a small brown paper package, in- side of which, carefully wrapped up in tissue paper, was large, thick, irregular gold coin, about the size of one of the largest copper cents
 ''There," said MT. Proskey, throwing it upon the table, ''is coin that is much rarer than the 1894 dollar. It is the New York doubloon, coined in 17S7, and intended as state coin. Only a very few were struck and but five are now known to exist"
 On one side of the coin IS picture of the sun rising over mountain, surmounted by the legend, "Nova Eboraca Columbia. Ex- celsior." Below the mountain is the word "Brasher,'' the name of the designer. The other side has the original form of the na- tional motto, ''Unum B Pluribus." Inside of this is an heraldic eagle, on one wing of which are the letters B. B., the designers ini- tials. Brasher was evidently man who be- ieved in advertising, and didn't intend to let the designers name be forgotten. It is worth about $500. The last one that was sold, which was not nearly as fine a speci- men as this, went for $5O7, and subsequently, for S527. It had been held in an old Mary land family ever since it was coined. If this piece only had the reputation of the 1894 dol. lar it would be worth a great deal more money. "-New York World.

Bismarck in the Eeichsfar

It is more interesting to watch Bismarck when making one of his great speeches than to listen to him. His words are far stronger and make much more of an impression in cold type than when they fall from his lips This shows their inherent force and weight. His delivery is slow; he always uses the ex- act word he wants and his facts are mar shaled in clear and lucid order. When he first rises to speak great silence falls upon the relchstag; not even a whisper is heard, and the deputies of all shades of political opinion crowd as closely as possible around him, fearful lest they might lose a single syllable of what he says Bismarck has little or no rhetorical action. His motions are not graceful, his voice is husky and unmusical, and some of his sentences are as long as those of our own Evarts During a debate he makes frequent notes in @ coarse, scrawling hand. When attacked by some keen oppo- nents he grows nervous, shifts in his seat, his pen shakes between his fingers and very often his hand goes menacingly ly to his sword hilt, for Bismarck, while he is the first civil off, cer 1n the empire, is at the same time a gen. eral of cavalry, and always wears his un- dress uniform in the reichstag.
 When aroused his ebullitions of passion are frequently terrible. His great frame quivers with emotion and his gray blue eyes flash fire as he turns towards the benches of his adversaries and demands to know who it was that hissed him. Scenes of this charac- ter, however: are of rare occurrence in recent years. He is 1nerciless in retort, unsparing of persons, no matter their age, their per- sonal services to himself or to the empire He possesses caustic humor, which he uses with great effect. A master of invective, his coarseness of speech very often defeats his own object.-John P. Jackson in New York World.

He Begged Pardon, Publicly.

One day, Beckmann, the comic actor, who died in 1860, was induced to take off a we'll known newspaper editor, Frankel by name, in one of the characters he was representing in Berlin. He performed his task so cleverly, that at the close the audience broke out into loud calls for Frankel. The journalist brought an action, and Beckmann was con- demned to go to the house of the insulted party and there beg his pardon in the presence of witnesses At the hour appointed Frankel sat in the circle of his family, together with a number of relatives and friends whom he had convened for the occasion, waiting the arrival of the delinquent. He tarried long, and half an hour had passed in weary sus- pense when at last the door opened, and Beck mann put his head in and asked "Does Mir. Meir live here?" "Oh, mo- answered Frankel. "he lives next door," "Ah, tlIen beg your pardon,' said the actor, and hastily with drew, having thus acquitted himself of the imposed penance to the great annoyance of Frankel and the intense amusement of the assembled witnesses.-The Argonaut.
