Special Dispatch to The Appeal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l4.-A story was
printed some days ago in the New York
Tribune, charging that Gen. ]. d. G. At
kins, late commissioner OF Indian affairs,
although he had resigned that office, was
still drawing the pay attached to it, No
one who had ever known Gen. Atkins be-
lieved the story for one moment, and an
investigation proves the falsity Of the
charge. Disbursing Officer Evans, of the
interior department, through whom all
tho officials OF that department, from the
highest to the lowest, receive their salaries,
examined his books this morning at the
request OF The APPEAL's correspondent,
and found that the last payment which
had been made to Gen. Atkins was made
on the 18th OF June. That is the date Of
the generals resignation, and he left
Washington to enter the campaign for SEN
ator in Tennessee on the following day.

This is sad reading. The experience Of

that the people are having recourse to

feet of breaking down the morale
OF those who are within reach of the dread
full disease. There is no known prevent
i've OF yellow fever. All persons are liable
TO it--all, whether black or white--and no
matter what the age or condition, who are
in an infected city. Fat people and lean,
tall and short, drunkards and prohibition
lists, the chaste and the unchaste, all are
alike liable TO this awful scourge. II is no
respector OF persons. Thisioly OF sulphur,

people found the fever was worse thar

settled down TO a long wrestle with the

Freeman, the heroine OF last winters ter

her eight pupils to rope and endeavored
to lead them through the binding and
drifting snow to their homes. Sackett Of
fered her 500 week and all expenses for
eight weeks, but her modesty would not
allow her to accept the offer. Nina Van
Xandt, OF anarchist fame, was offered big
money to become a museum freak, but
she would never entertain any offers"
"Do performers get very large salaries in
the museumsr
THAT all depends upon their act. The
majority OF the vocalists, dancers and
sketch artists get $50 week, and instru-
mental musicians get about the same
money. Some, however, get more accord
ing to their ability. Now the Sheppard
sisters, who are two of the best vocaists
on the variety stage, do not work for less
than 500 week, and Musical Dale, who
plays 80 many different instruments in
such fine manner, commands 500 a
week But as | said the majority OF the

from Chicago, from somewhat notorious
family, believe, that's about as bad as
any, but they are all aided in their bust
ness by hired men-'horses, they call
them-and it's upon these wretches, and
not the representative citizen called up
from the audience, that they perform.
