MARCHING EXPERIENCES.
Two Companies of the 18th In fantrl
Snowe in Near Denver.

The two companies of the 18th infantry
ordered from Fort Laramie to Fort Logan
have reached the latter place. According
to the Denver NetOS.
The first six days of the tramp were
very favorable for good work. The skies
were clear and the ninety miles from
Fort Laramie to Cheyenne were covered
during this time. There was hardly and
incident and not an accident during this
trip. Remaining there a day to rest up,
the morning of the Sth found the men
awake-or rather awakened-at 5 O'Clock
and after a camp breakfast they started
for Denver. Not being well acquainted
with tho geography of the country, tie
wrong road was taken and after a days
march it was found necessary to make a
change. The Greeley road had been fol-
lowed out of Cheyenne and when this was
discovered it was noted that they were
many miles off the road they had contem-
plated following to Denver. Then they
marched acress the country to reach the
collins" road, which is to be interpreted
into the road which comes to Denver via
Fort Collins, almost parallcling the rail-
road. The right road was at last struck
and the experiences of the trip began.
Last Saturday morning Lieut.. Fredcr-
icks was awakened by a peculiar sensa-
ton. The sensation was of a ~tricklrng
nature and something to which he was
quite unused. When he became quite
awake he found nearly four inches Of
water inside his Sibley tent, upon which
his shoes and some of his clothes were
floating. Mr.. Redericks was not the only
one in the same predicament. Not ex-
pecting a storm but few of the men had
taken the %nrecaution to ditch their tents
and when like an Arab in the night the
heavy storm came upon them they we're
almost totally unprepared for it. The
baggage of the party had been shipped by
freight from the nearest railroad point on
the Cheyenne Il Northern, and all that
the men had with them was a single
| change of clothing. They laid around in
the tents for the greater part of three
days waiting for the storm to abate before
continuing the march. 1t the meantime
the rain changed to snow and several
inches covered the ground. AS one of the
men expressed it, they we're showed in"
This was at Indian Springs, about twenty
miles northeast Of Fort Collins.

Tho Cotillon In France.

Why Is the cotillon the most popu-
lar dance in France2 And why Is 1t
30 little danced in England, and then
in q MANNED and abbreviated form1
The ans wer seems TO be, that its CAV
frolics suit the French character, and
that they do not suit nearly SO well
the nor staid, possibly the more pom
derous, humor Of the English. The
most sublime Of all tho arts is TO look
foolish gracefully. Few Englishmen
can learn tS do that; but TO the French
man 1t is easy enough. He is less self
conscious than the man Of perfidious
Albion, and thoroughly enjoys an ex,
hibition which would mako q good
many Englishmen decidedly uncom-
Portable. To be pulled through a
paper screen Qike a circus ride1 by
your partner, to have a paper bag put
over your head, 10 waltz with a doll
or to becompelled to jump over a chalk
line before you "a get a partner;
these are gambols 10 which an Eng
lishman does not take very kindly.
Yet II is undeniable that the cotillon
is very amusing, and that 1t provides
oven more precious opportunities for
filtration than more formal and state
ly figures. And it is understood that
young ladies highly appreciate the
presents, sometimes very rich and
rare, which fall to their share when a
wealthy hostess gets up a cotillon.
Yet, for the divers causes and consid-
erations which have been enumerated
the cotillon will probably never DO
very popular In England.-St James
Gazette.

BUTTE, Mont. May l7.-Harry Rob.
erts, foreman of Corea's Transfer com
pany, walked into the washroom of the
Silver Bow boarding house adjoining the

Crawford's right arm and into his body,

out of the door OF the room into the back

gave himself into the custody of the
sheriff. The shooting was the result Of
a long standing quarrel between the two
men.

New System of Rapid Transit.

New YORK, May IA new scheme
of transportation is to be introduced be-
tween New York and Boston, whereby
it is said large packages OF mail and even
cars containing passengers can be whisked
from one place to the other, a distance of
go miles, in less than an hour. An ex-
pertinent with the new machine was made
in Boston recently in the presence of
many scientists, including Prof. A. +.
Dolbear, of TUFTS college, who announced
he was thoroughly satisfied of the success
of the system. The machine consists of
a magnetic car, hanging from a single
rail, where it follows a streak OF electricity.
With n horse power, it is said, one ton
can be thus transported 40 miles in a
day at a cost of thirty cents.

Horrible Sight for school Children.

Aioifioit SlShl lot ScnOOl thlldren.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE little
girls attending the third grade in the JEFF
ferson public school, in the southern Sec
ton Of the city, were standing in the
aisles of the school room this afternoon
about to bid the school good bye until to-
morrow, when their teacher, Mrs. Sarah
+. Allen, was fatally shot in their pres.
ence by her faithless husband, who then
killed himself. Allen had been supported
by the earnings OF his wife as school
tereher until some time ago, when she
left him on account of his dissipated hab-
its and frequent abuse and violence. He
has annoyed and threatened her several
times since she refused to have anything
more to do with him, and she had been
warned very recently to beware OF him.
The children were first TO see him when
he entered the schoolroom, and when they
showed how startled they we're at his ap
pearance, he called on them not to make
any noise or lie would shoot. Mrs. AL.
lens attention had meanwhile been at
tracted; she started to move, but her hus-
band by this time was upon her, and say
ing now I've got you, for | want you, !"
he fired at close range, the ball taking
effect near the right ear passing through
the head. He then turned the pistol on
himself and inflicted a fatal wound. The
murdered wife and suicide fell together on
the schoolroom floor. his arm about her
neck and the revolver lying on her cheek.
The startled, terror-stricken children
almost created a panic, but some OF the
more collected of them ran for the other
teachers, who succeeded in restoring or
der. Police and physicians were sum
moned, who did everything possible to
make Mrs. Aliens last moments free
from pain. She fingered only in semi.
consciousness for some time and then
passed away. Her husband expired a
few minutes after the arrival of the
police.

C~hicago,s Treatment of the Insane


CHICAGO. May lin the investiga-
ton into the condition of the insane asy-
lum to-day one of the attendants admit
ted that under a former administration
one of the patients was beaten to death
by another confined in the same room.
DR.. Noble, a member of the medical
staff. testified that nearly 300 patients
were confined to his care, and that a large
proportion of his work was in treating
wounds resulting from fights between pa
tients. Another witness testified that
the attendants were appointed on the
recommendation of the county commits
%sioners, and their appointments were not
based on fitness for the work, but because
they had a political pull the conse-
quence was that many attendants were
wholly unfit for the duties they should
perform.
