Fighting The Apaches.

James PAYNE of Arizona can tell
more about the bloodthirsty Apaches
in minute than any other man. The
Apaches have raided Mr.. Payne's ranch
three times aud stolen any amount of
stock.
You can't depend upon them," said
the rancher. Just as soon as they
get back Geronimo will lead them to
San Carlos Agency and then the trou-
Bile will begin. At their feasts they
drink a grain whisky which makes
them crazy. They start out on plum
dering expeditions. If they are re-
moved it will be against the wishes of
the people of Arizona and New Mex
ico'
With Mr.. Payne is j. B. Shepard.
He is the champion Indian story-teller
of the West. Speaking of Gen. Crook
he said: ''rll never forget when l
fought beside Gen. Crook in an Apache
battle. We had been after the red
skins some days, and one noon we
sighted a band at Crazy jim Gulch. The
way we sailed after the Apaches was
caution. They stopped and set fire to
the prairie grass, hoping to head us off,
but we fooled them. When they
saw that they couldn't get away they
rounded up their ponies in a circle and
stood in the center. We skirmished
around bit and then sailed in. Gen.
Crook has a heart like an OK, and he
said: Boys, just slay few dozen of
the warriors. Don'tkill all, just enough
to let them know that we are the peo-
ple.' Twas sweltering day and
there wasn't spot on the sun. After
throwing off our coats and rolling up
our trousers we opened fire. In few
seconds the Apaches began to drop.

She Has q Temper.

A certain young married lady of De-
troit is fortunate, says the Tribune of
that city, in having good, kind hus-
band, whose devotion to her has never
tagged for an instant since the first day
he fell in love with her, several years
ago. She, unfortunately for her own
happiness as we'll as his, was born with
a temper like gunpowder. The follow
ing little family dialogue took place be-
tween them the other morning just
after breakfast, during one of her lucid
intervals. 1t leaked out, no matter
how:
Tell me-" said he, 'just for my own
curiosity, how it happened that 1 never
discovered this unhappy weakness in
you in our courtship days, when l
thought you a paragon of perfectionP
How did you ever manage to restrain
yourself then?
The poor woman hesitated a few mo.
ments before answering, and then,
sobbing bitterly, dropped her graceful
little head upon his sturdy shoulder
and said,
Il used to excuse myself from you
for a few minutes and g-g-go upstairs
and b-b-bite pieces out of the top of the
bu-bu-bureau."

explanation as he could have beer with

KNOCKED A CORPSE ON THE HEAD.
A Practical Joke Played by University
Students.

Some years ago well-known char
acter in West Philadelphia named
Patrick Bradley kept saloon on
Woodlawn avenue, opposite the uni
versity. Pat was notorious for the
enormous quantity of liquors that he
imbibed, in consequence of which he
had arrived at that state which in the
slang terms of the day is known as
.'rum-dumb."
The principal patrons of his saloon
were the medical students of the uni
veEsity, and they rendered his life
miserable by making him the brunt
of many practical jokes. Shortly be-
fore his death they played such a
ghastly joke upon him that he never
forgave them and never again allowed
one of them in his place.
One stormy night three Southern
students procured corpse which had
not felt the keen edge of the scalpel.
They dressed it in an old suit of clothes
and surreptitiously took it out of the
dissecting-room. When they entered
Bradley's saloon two of them were sup
porting what would have passed for a
drunken man, while the third was ,ex-
horting the others to brace up. Pat
was Just in the condition suitable for
their purpose, having arrived at the
stage in which it would have been i'm
possible for him to have told the differ
ence between a drunken man and a
lamp-post. Propping their helpless
! companion up against the bar they Or
dered four drinks. After the three
students had drank theirs they made
some excuse and left the house.
For some time Pat paid no attention
to the figure that leaned in such help
less way against the bar. but it finally
dawned on his foggy mind that the
drinks had not been paid for. Lean
ing over the bar he demanded from his
silent companion the price of the
liquor. Receiving no reply, he reiter-
ated the demand, and, of course, got
still no answer. Pat began to grow
angry and visions of the many tricks
that had been played upon him by the
students came across his mind, and he
determined that he would not be done
out of the drinks. Reaching under the
bar he got a short club, and, coming
out from behind his stronghold, he
said, in his rich Miiesian brogue:
Now, pay me for those drinks like
| a gentleman, and don't be standing
there like Il wooden man."
The silence that followed only served
to enrage him the more, and he shouted
out, IF you don't pay me I'll knock
your blamed head off! True to his
! word, when the seeming drunken man
| made no movement to produce his
money, Pat drew back his arm and
struck the corpse on the head. The
body fell to the floor, and at the same
instant the door burst open and the
three students, who had been on the
lookout for some such denouement,
rushed in and accused Pat of murder
ing their companion. Pat was as
founded when he felt the cold pulse of
the corpse. In the imminence of his
| danger for arrest for murder his ready
wit, however, did not desert him. He
instantly said: ''Ye are liars; 1 hit
him in self-defense. He pulled a knife

The Natural Bridge of Arizona.

Natural Bridge, on Pine Creek, in
the northern part of Gila County, is
one of the greatest natural curiosities
in the United States equaling if not
surprising the Natural Bridge of Vir-
ginia. 1t spans the creek at height
of about 200 feet, and the walls of the
canon rise above it on either side zoe
or 800 feet, and on one side form per,
pendicular precipice. The bridge is Of
lime formation, and the inside of the
great arch. which is some 250 feet
across, is worn by the water as smooth
as though chiseled by the skillful hand
of a stonemason. The arch on top is
nearly, if not quiet, 400 feet in width,
1000 feet in length across the canon,
and at the thinnest part only six feet
through. About the center of the arch
is hole large enough to admit the
body of man. and through which one
can look down into the crystal pool OF
water 200 feet below.
The dixie which forms the bridge ex-
tends in sweeping curve up the right
side of the stream, and, together with
the bridge proper, affords surface
area of about 100 acres of fertile land,
which David Gowan has converted into
a fine farm. A spring issues from the
right side of the canon at Il height to
admit of the water being easily con-
Quoted to any portion of the farm, and
the volume is great enough to fill a
ditch four feet wide and two feet deep,
and to irrigate much more land than is
available for cultivation. The climate
at the bridge is exceedingly equable,
being warmer in summer and much
milder in winter than that of the sur,
rounding country, and to this fact is
ascribed the wonderful variety OF
vegetable growth, numbering, some
250 species of trees, shrubs, vines and
plants. The vicinity abounds in num-
erous fossils and shells, and wherever
moisture percolates through the cal
careous rock beautiful stalactites are
formed. Underneath the bridge are
numerous caves, some of which have
never been explored and which are
lined with these Opaque cones resem-
bling huge icicles.-Boston Transcript.

NO SETTLEMENT IN VIEW.

The WESTINGHOUSE Embrogli0 Threatens 20
be of Long Duration.
The three brances of the Westinghouse
works whose men are on strike, were yester-
day as idle as when the employees first quit
Two men and about 16 laborers represented
the force of 900 workers who used to labor
in the busy Garrison alley shops, and some
half dozen strangers, including few
relatives of the foreman's. represented the
140 machine companv's employees. Across
the road, the fuel gas plant was idle. The
Airbrake men and Signal Company's en-
ployes are still at work. What steps they
will take are not vet known.
The position of the airbrake men is some
what different from that of the others. OF
the 900 men at work, about one-third are
fully skilled machinists. who would readily
find work anywhere. The rest are men and
boys who were broken in to a certain class
of work, and who, if taken from it, would
find it difficult to make as good wages else
where. Perhaps these remaining two-thirds
recognize this fact, and are afraid to jeopar-
die their places by coming out.
There is no doubt but that heightened
struggle between the machinists and the
company is ahead. The men of the craft
employed in the Westinghouse shops are
better organized than is generally supposed.
They are in this fight to stay, and have the
sinews of war to enable them to do so. As
already pointed out in these columns this
movement of the machinists for a reduction
in hours is not of purely local origin. 1t is
is the inception of an agitation
which will spread to other cities
as soon as it has been won here.
The machinists of other towns are watch
ing the course OF events here with interest,
and are ready to help the fight with sub
stantial backing. For this reason the West
inghouse people will find it hard to move
the men from their position, even if 1t oc-
CURED to them to do so, and they will not
be able to get men of any account to take
the place of the men now out. Every ma
chinist In the country Of any repute is a
union man, and of course will not accept
work at struck shop. A few DAYS will
develop certain contingencies of the situ-
tion which will make matters more inter-
esting.
There is probability of any early settle
ment being effected between the employees
and the Lewis Foundry and Machine Com
pany and Wilson. Snyder & Co. Bair &c
Gazzan's men have returned to work.

THE HODCARRIERs JEALOUS.
They Don't Want Other Men Employed at
Work Rightfuily Theirs.

They Don't Want Other Men Employed at
Work Rightfully Theirs.
Contractor Balph, who is building the
Duquesne Company's car depot, was noti-
fed some time ago by General Agent Swartz
that he would not be allowed to employ
laborers at cheap wages where hodcarriers
should legitimately be employed. Of this
he took no notice, and he was then informed
that ii he did not comply with the request
of the Trades Council the men of the other
crafts would be called off. He then con-
cluded to employ hodcarriers.
General Agent Swartz said last night that
there was nothing unusual in the action
taken. Similar efforts we're directed against
the contractors who built Eisner & Philips
store, and there were at present other con-
tractors who were employing common labor
ers to do work which hodcarriers claimed
as theirs. They would be proceeded against
in time. Mr.. BaIph happened to be little
earlier on the list than others, that was all.
