1t is encouraging news for the United States
that careful investigation of the reported cases
of yellow fever at Tampico, Mexico, shows that
there is not even suspicious of the disease
there. The physician who made the investiga-
ton thinks this state of things surprising, as
Tampico is in constant communication with Vera
Cruz, where yellow fever is of frequent occurrence.
That Tampco has escaped must be due to I'M
usual vigilance, which is probably one effect of
the lesson taught by Jacksonvilles experience last
year.

Senator Payne If the Legislature goes Demo-

is waiting to find out how much tariff reform he
favors, but is already positive that he must not go
before the people of Ohio as Free Trader. He
is not ambitious to emulate Hurd. This state Of

The Cowboy Artist.

One of the men much talked about
Just now is Frederick Remington, the
first American artist to catch the true
spirit of the blithsome br0nehO and to
depict the breezy life of the plains and
ranchmen as it picturesquely Is. Mr..
Remington father was the late Pierre
Remington, of 0gdensburgh, an eminent
st. Lawrence county politician, whose
death occurred about eight years ago,
lust as the present artist was leaving
Yale College. Taking twenty-five thou
sand dollars left him from the estate, he
went out into the Wild West to nurture
the gentle sheep. In the course of three
or four years various experiments of this
sort left him penniless, condition
which he encouraged by getting mar
ried. He got back East ON the scnpings
of his fortune and went to the Hon.
Thomas G. Plat, who found an empty
desk for him in the Office Of the United
States Express Company. The ex-
ranchman wer in and looked at the
Job and went cut at once with the ex-
pressed conviction that he would die
before he would tie up to it. Then,
with desperate impulse, he took a few
random sketches Of Western life to
Ha .per's. They were at once accepted
and his crisis was past.-ATgoHaut.

from the Morning Side School, In Sioux

noticed, and searching for the source,
the teacher opened the door to the
closet where the scholars kept their
wraps. A fur cap, belonging to one of
the bows. had fallen into a bucket con-
tanning hot ashes, and was sending off
clouds of smoke. The teacher seized
the bucket and started for the door, but
when half way across the room was
overcome by the smoke, and dropped
into the nearest seat almost unconscious.

srecurnbed and fell to the floor. Twenty
