A Human Trust.

CHICAGO, July 31.-AIl the ballet girls in
the West will soon be under the control of
wealthy English syndicate, which has head
quarters and resident partners in Chicago.
English capitalists are now looking at the
theatrical business of America as well as the
beer business, with the view of investing
their sovereigns and controlling players and
play houses. The intelligence that New
York manager had been offered $780,
600 for uwo-thirds interest," in
his houses was hardly received
from the wires when novel and ex-
tensive trust was discovered within the
walls of Chicago itself. W. HMorton, of the
Columbia theater, is the agent of the British
company. Associated with and interested
with Mr.. Morton in the venture are David
Henderson, of the Chicago opera house. and
Horace McVicker. 1t has become SO difficult
to secure good ballet that such scheme
was absolutely necessary, to say nothing Of
the profits as q business enterprise. Mr..
Morton has already secured three thousand
girls for his trust Some of them receive a
ocular salary, others half-pay. but all will
be at Mr.. Morton's beck and call

The latest news from Hayti is this: On
the 18th Gen. Girardi. Hppolyte's com
mander-in- chief, had taken Fort Touissant
L'ouverture, situated on hill three miles
northeast OF Port-au-P Prince, and shelled
that town. Hippolyte was in Gonaives on
the 10th and much powder was expended
during the day and night in celebrating his
arrival. The captain of the Ozama is OF the
opinion that the next news from Hayti will
be decisive, and that Hippolyte will be mas
ter of the situation Gen Girardi however,
is likely to have a terrible revenge on Legi-
time and his factors, as he formerly was
cruelty treated by them.

Want Elevator Facilities.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram. July ST.
The supervising architect of the treasury has
received the letter of Postmaster Flynn of
Duluth complaining that plans were not
satisfactory. The designers planned the best
building they could for the money at their
disposal, which was only $131, 800, after
paying SIS, 500 for the site They succeeded
better than they usually do in such cases;
That is. the complaints made are more mod
crate and the changes asked less material
than they are accustomed to when plans for
public buildings are submitted to the
people who are to occupy them. Some
of the changes in the plans suggest
ed by Postmaster Flynn will be
made; others are not architecturally prac-
ticable. The designers say they have
strained q point to make the building as
large as possible. SO they fear there viii be
no money available for an elevator. They
say. however, that room has been left for an
elevator in the hallway, and that it can be
put in at any time before or after the build
ing is finished. If there is any money left
after putting up the building it will be used
for an elevator; if not, the Duluthites must
hustle for an appropriation. The designers
fully understand that the building is too
small for the purpose it is designed to serve,
and have so planned it that it can be en-
.larged at any time by an addition to the
back.

The other big cities in this countr

THE other big cities in this country
have a good joke on Chicago In
her recent annexation scheme the
great city unconsciously swallowed
a toll road, made SO by charter of
the State a good many years ago.
Toll roads anywhere are a nuisance, a
relic of times when communities were
too poor to make needed public inn
provements. and were thus obliged
to submit to almost any terms from
those who had the money to advance.
OF course in a city a road where tolls
could be exacted must become too
intolerable q nuisance to long con-
tinue, and it should have been in
stolerable years ago while the toll
road was still in the country dis
trict.

AT one time a woman could hardly
walk though the streets OF San Fran
cisco without having everyone pause
to gaze on her, and a child was so
rare, that once in a theater, in the
same city, where a woman had taken
her infant, when it began to cry,
just as the orchestra began to play,
a man in the pit cried out: Sstop
those fddles and let the baby cry.
/ haTen't heard such a sound for ten
years" The audience applauded
this sentiment, the orchestra stop
ped, and the baby continued its per-
Torrance amid unbounded enthusi-
assn.

explanation aud catechism was held to-day,
and the rolls will be opened at the agents Of

were present to-day as at the other talks
here, and generally the same individuals.

talk, in which he hoped no one would at

dence John Grass, as usual, was spokesman
for the Indians. Maj. Warner took the floor
TO answer the questions ana objections of
John Grass He explained the provisions
for taking land as laid down in the treaty
of 1868, and showed wherein they diff
fered from the present treaty. He also
complimented them. upon the advancemen5
they had made in agriculture, and assured
them that the great father was very proud
to see it. Mention was also made of the
amount of land each Indian could take under
this bill, az we'll as the amount of money to
be received from their lands if even only
third should be sold. The major con-
cluded in these words: aWe are sitting here
as judges to weigh the evidence and decide,
and Judge who determines case before he
hears the evidence is neither fair nor just {"

Gov. Foster of the right of eminent domain,
and further question from John Grass, to
which Maj. Warner made satisfactory an

We want to explain this to you fully, so that
you may provide against the future You
have families whom you love, and know
that your worry is what will become of
them when you die The only safe
way is TO get your land, have it
yours, and then when you die it will
belong to your families. Each of yon must
decide for himself, and the chiefs should re-
member that they are responsible if their in
Huence leads you astray. You will find that
the government is your best friend, both past

heard the bill fully explained and must un-
derstandit. The rolls will be opened at 10
O'Clock to- morrow in the agents Office, where
those who wish may sign. The situation here
at this time is unlike anything at the other
agencies. The Indians seem to have more
complete and intelligent appreciation of the
principal features of the bill and to discuss
them with more acumen.
