LUsK'S CROOK STORY.
A Wyoming Mans Reminescence OF
the Dead Indian Fighter.

a W Yomlng Mans RemtnescenCe oil
The Dead Indian Fighter.
f. s. Lusk, who halls from Wyoming,
and is stopping at the Grand Pacific, does
not think much of the proposition to add
a company OF Indians to the United
army, a y the Chicago Tribune. He de-
declares that the Indians can't fight.
General Crook" said Mr.. Lusk, used
to tell a story about an old scout and
some Sioux Indians, showing how the red
men were outwitted.
General Crook and a party were rid
ing along a spur of the Black Hills one
day some twelve years ago, when down on
the plain they caught sight Of four
mounted Sioux chasing a white mar who
was astride a mule. After getting pretty
close to the white man the foremost In
dian fired a shot, at which the man on
the mule dropped. Then the Indians
pressed foi warj, yelling like demons.
Suddenly redskins and ponies began
to fall. By the time General Crook and
his party reached the PLAIN, all the red
men were down, and the old scout was
laughing like a lunatic.
That great said the scout. To
think that them cunning Sioux should be
fooled by such an old trick.
Three dead Indians lay on the
ground, the fourth was dying. The scout
went over to the chap about to leave for
the happy hunting ground and asked:
Say, red, did you ever see a white
man afore?'
Lots OF EN- gasped the brave.
Didn't yer never hear O that old
trick2'
Isn't the pale face woundedp' asked
the diving warrior.

Miss ElIsIer Shoots and Rides in the
Engine Cab.


1t is extremely doubtful if a single
member of the big audience which greeted
Efie Ellsler when that admirable woman
and talented actress appeared here, could
guess the fads of the dainty little body.
On the stage Miss EllsIer was womanly
as the most enthusiastic idealist could
desire, and Mr.. Weston, her big, hand
some husband, says she's the sweetest
little girl in the world. She dresses with
rare taste. and has a delicate face aud
what would be called if she were taller, a
willowy form.
One would think it safe to venture the
guess that Miss Ellsler painted or moulded
clay or rave an artists touch to the needle,
but she doesn't lean to any of these
feminine pursuits. She shoots and rides
On locomotives. When travelling she
practices with light caliber target guns.
but at home shoots off hand with a
weiRhty rife. When Miss Hlsler finds
au engineer who will allow her to ride in
the cab she is beside herself with delight.
She has learned enough about an engine
to manage the throttle.

Tonight's demonstration Tor statehood
promises to be a outpouring of the peo-
pie as an earnest OF their desire for the
coveted advancement. On all sides yes
terday the action Of the Board of Trade
and Real Estate Exchange in calling a
mass meeting was heartily commended.
There is no division of opinion on the
situation. All believe that the senate
should if possible be brought to a r~ealiza-
ton of the fact that Wyoming people are
dissatisfied with the treatment Of the
statehood bill at the hands of that body.
If yesterdays public comment is a safe
criterion the opera house will be damned
tonight.
A meeting OF the committees ap-
pointed by the Board and Exchange was
held at the Office Of Kelley & Parshall
yesterday forenoon. +. s. Hebard was
chairman and W. s. Weaver secretary.
But one name was mentioned for pre-
siding officer at the mass meeting, that Of
Chief Justice Van Devanter, and he has
accepted.

vided in this wise: On speakers-F. S.

ERWIN AGAINST DALLAS.
A Pretty Republican Row Over
Campaign Expenses.

The case of Erwin against Dallas,
which was noticed for trial in the First
District Court this morning, was ad-
journed until August 20, on request of
Mr.. Kennedy, counsel of DR.. Dallas.
The suit is for $500, money due

in the last campaign when he and Dallas
were Republican candidates in the same
district in Greenville. The case was ad-
journed because of the insufficient time
given to the defence to prepare for trial.

and the defence were unable to summon
witnesses.
A reporter spoke to Mr.. Erwin about
the case and asked him what were DR..
Dallas reasons for repudiating the debt.

Erwin, toutside of his letters / know
nothing concerning his refusal, as have
not had personal interview with him.
DR.. Dallas has heavy black pirate whis-

had anything to say for the public, he
said, with much profanity, that he would
take delight In wringing the neck of The
NEWS reporter who wrote him up last
of his doubtful citizenship. Finally he
said:-"I have overpaid my share of the

Mr.. E. Sands, commander of G. Van
Houten Post No. 3, G. A. r.. called at
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS Office this morn
ing, and asked that some details of the
account Of Van Houten Posts invitation
to His Fraudulency, Cleveland, to ac-
company them on their trip to Boston, be
corrected. '"rhe facts are," said Mr..
Sands, that Comrade John Ramsay Of
fered a resolution that the Governor
be invited. This was carried un-
animously. Then Comrade Linskey,
got up and said that as the
Governor had been invited, he
thought it would be fitting thing to in
vito the chief executive officer of the city,
and offered a resolution that Mr.. Cleye-
land also be invited. No one stopped to
discuss the matter, and this motion also
was carried. There was no discussion, as
your informant stated.n
Probably if the members of Van Hou-
ten Post had stopped to think before they
voted for the resolution. it would not
have been carried. 1t was afterward
when many of the members did stop to
consider what they had done, that they
began to regret 1t.

No Wcl1 Dressed American Would Woar

A writer in the Ciothier and Fuanisher
observes that the news that it is news
about the smuggling of English
clothing in this country is very
queer to those who have known about it
for many years. If it were not for this
practice there would not be one tailor's
shop on the Strand in London for every
two that are there now. In some of these
shops land it is the same of the higher
class shops) as soon as an American GUS
toner talks of going home the tailor
begins to spread his nets to keep
the Yankees custom after he
is in America. The prices tempt
the average man, and in that suscep-
tible and receptive mood the tailor finds
him when he spreads his nets. He says
to him that If he orders clothes from that
shop they can be sent to America free Of
duty, but at an extra cost of only 81,
payable to the man who smuggles them
over. Each London tailor knows of q
number of men on the third and fourth
class passenger lines and on the freight
lines-engineers pursers, mates and even
captains-who find it worth while to
bother with the business. Sometimes
these sailors take the clothing to fixed
places-a hotel or gin miii-and some

tice Stilsing this morning, charged with
atrociously assaulting John Taylor, a
stair builder. who lives in New York, at

There has been a strike among the ma
