1t was worth while receiving a compli-
ment from Dickens, because it was turned
with art. know of - note in this
try so f%elicitous in expression as to deserve
publicity. It was addressed to u young
girl who had been a constant attendant on
his readings. which were to her a dramatic
revelation. Going up the steps of Stein
way hall, New York, or the occasion of
Dickens New Years eve reading, this girl
was met by a friend who stopped her, say
ing, "Tve a message for you from the
chief" Dickens was always called 1.-The
chief" by his intimate friends. II asked
him if he saw you in the audience. See
her!' replied Dickens; yes, God bless her'
She's the best audience l ever had"
"And I've a message for Mr.. Dickens"
answered the delighted girl. Whereupon
she drew forth a basket of violets which
graced the readers desk during the even
ing, and elected the following response:
MY DEAR Mus FIELD entreat you to accept
my most cordial thanks for your charming New
Years present. II you could know what pleasure
it yielded me you would be repaid for your deli
cate and sympathetic kindness.
But l must avow that nothing In the pretty
basket Of flowers was quite 80 interesting to mo
as q certain bright, fresh face l have seen at my
readings, which. l am told, you may see, too.
when-you look in the glass! Cordially yours,
CHARLES DICKENS.
Not long afterward, on being introduced
to "Boz,'' this same girl exclaimed, "Ah,
Mr.. Dickens, l owe you SO heavy a debt of
gratitude as to bc unable to pay even the
interest on it!'
"Ill give you a receipt in FULL" was
Dickens quick response, and underneath
a very ferocious engraving of himself he
wrote:
"Received of Miss Kate Field all the
thanks she owes me-and many more, with
which l am better pleased than l appear to
be in the above gloomy presentment of my
state of mind. CHARLES DICKENS"

Pouteness in . Street Car.

Mr.. Charles N. Richards. a clerk at the
Capitol, tells about a trip he made in an
avenue car. He says he got into the car at
the Capitol and every seat was occupied.
He sat on the lap of a good natured and
accommodating friend, and after the car
passed the foot of the hill a heavy weight
colored woman entered. No one offered
her a seat until Richards arose and said,
as wa his usual practice. Take this seat,
madam" He had forgotten that he was
not sitting on one of the car seats. His
sitting friend objected to the proposed
transfer, but, rising with alacrity, offered
his seat. She accepted 1t promptly

CHICAGO, Nov. 18.-Referring to the as
ISOLATED press dispatch of tonight regard
ing the movements of large bodies of
troops in the department of the Platte and
of their concentration at points adjacent to
Pine Ridge agency, General Miles said:
"The newspapers really ought not to pub
lish this sort OF news, for it will be in the
Indian camps in less than twenty-foGr
hours, taken there by n There is
really nothing in this, except that the
troops are being placed in readiness to
move at a moments notice. These troops
are sent to the vicinity of the reservation
to prevent, if possible, any outbreak and to
encourage the loyal element among the In
dians, if any; also to protect the agencies
which report the Indians as turbulent and
past control, hence they have called on the
military for protection. 1t was hoped that
this excitement might pass without serious
trouble, and up to this time no Indians
have left their reservation. The causes OF
this threatened trouble are the entire fail
ure of their crops, the delay of congress in
and the subsequent delay in getting
being brought to the verge of starvation,
and worked into a frenzy. They are get.
ting their ratiOns nov and possibly the diff
ficulty may be bridged over"

al,' said the reporter, THAT these move
ments are not resulting from any alarming
news, but simply as precautionary meas

time they may have serious work to DO"
"Is it not unusual" asked the reporter,
''for Indians to go on the war path right at
the beginning of winter"
"Not at ALL" returned the general; "'these
northern Indians are tougher than leath-

The general was found at his hotel at II

a very busy man all day and it was appar-
ent that he regarded the situation as very

A Road to Alaska,

SPOKANE FALLS, WASH, Nov. 15.-Geo.
Hazard of Tacoma says arrangements
have BEEN concluded and capital raised by
a syndicate of Russian capitalists and some
prominent New York railroad magnates,
among whom is mentioned Henry Willard,
to build a railroa from Puget Sound to
Alaska. It is expected the line will be To-
Gated next spring. r. oon The company has q
that a line of ferry boats will be put On to
carry entire trains across Bebring sea,
where they will connect with the Russian
railroad across the desert wastes Of Sibe-
ria. The latter part of the project is still
uncertain, but the road to Juneau will be
commenced early in the spring: Besides
seal fishing, mines and lumber, 1t is
claimed that there are coal banks off the
Alaskan coast that are practically mex
haustible. Mr.. Hazard predicts that in
five years the great fishing industry of the

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 1s.-Telegrams
poured into army headquarters and into
the newspaper offices today with bulletins
about the Indian scare. At the arp y offices
they were made light of, at least in con-
yersation with a civilian reporter. and it
was stoutly asserted, that the Indians were
only out on a hunt. Further, it was stated
that two reliable Brule Indians now in the
city had stated to the army officers that
there was no messiah craze among the In
dams lust north of the Nebraska line.
Private advices from Valentine give q diff
ferent origin than the messiah craze to the
uneasiness. Since August the Indians Of
the Rosebud agency have been restless,
claiming the agent was not giving them
suficient supplies. A few days ago the
families living ten miles northwest of Val
anime moved away simultaneously. Their
neiohbors sought to convince Dthem that
there was no danger, but they had heard
complaints about the agentl and were
bound to 60, and they went. i

To Manufacture Harveaters.

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-There was organ
lied in this city during the past few days
one of the largest corporations in its line
Springfield today and the new company
will be known as the American Harvester
company, for the manufacture of harvest
ing machinery, with a capital stock of
$$S5, 100000. The directors of the new COM
pany will be Cyrus H. Mccormick, Will
lam Deering, Walter A. Wood, Lewis
Miller, Col. A. L. Conger and Gen. A. S.
Bushnell. The purpose of the new COM
pany is the building of harvesting ma
chimes. Said Colonel Conger, when ques-
toned by an Associated Press reporter:
'sThe present decentralization of business
necessitated the formation of a new COM
pany. l can recall over eighty different
companies engaged in the business which
have failed. entailing a loss upon the farm
ers, laboring men and manufacturers and
others of between $3.50, 0O0,O 900 aud $4,000
600. While some companies have been
successful, the general condition of bust
ness was such that it became necessary to
give farmers better machines at lower
prices, il possible, without disaster to
manufacturers. For several years man
ufacturers have been selling machines
at so low a price as to give them no fairly
compromising profit. The cost of materi-
ais has been advancing so that it has be-
come necessary either to raise the price of
machines to the farmer or through ecOnO-
my produce and distribute them more
cheaply, as it is the purpose and expecta-
ton OF this new organization to do. 1t is
no less to the interest of the binder manu.
facturers than to that of the farmers them
selves, that the latter should obtain binder
Irvine at reasonable prices and the hope of
etfecting this object is II of the important
reasons for the formation of this company.
Freight will be saved by having the ma
chimes made at factories located so there
will be as few as possible Of cross ship
some to both maker and user. There is no
intention to raise the prices OF machines.
We do not expect to check competition but
shall probably carry on the manufacture
of the present machines at several differ
ent works. The only way to accomplish
this was by the formation of an entire new
company, and the names of the directors
whom l have mentioned will be sufficient
guarantee that the company will be sue
c%essfully and cOnservativeIy managed. We
have not decided upon all the officers, but
it is understood Mccormick will be presi-
dent. Wood vice president and Deering
chairman of the board Of1direct0,s." Other
gentlemen interested in the formation OF
the new company endorsed the statement
made by Colonel COnger.
