Charles Carol, of Carrolton, was the
last survivor of those who signed the
Declaration, dying in 1882 at the age of
95. 1t is an interesting fact that he had
just been chosen and entered congress on
the morning of July 4, 1916. On July 4,
1921, the fact was mentioned in many
addresses that only four of the signers
We're living. Of these William Floyd, of
New York, died On the 81 of August fol-
lowing, Adams and jefferson on July 4,
1926, and Charles Carol on Nov. IA. 1892.

The Fable of the Dogs.

1t happened once upon a time, on Ger
tain Fourth of July, that there were two
dogs strolling along by the wayside, and
one of these dogs, who was the proud
possessor of fine curly tail, looked with
much disdain upon his companion, who
utterly lacked that appendage. This
conduct was noticed by dog number two,
who at last gave vent to the following
sentiments:
"Know you, my worthy companion,
that while you look with disdain upon
my deformity, there is a certain adage
observed among men that naughty
spirit goes before fall, and warn you
that today, being the day known to man
kind as the Fourth of July, there are GER
tain bipeds who are lying in wait for
Your tail. Twill see you later" So say
ing, dog number two proceeded on his
way rejoicing.

SATURDAY MORNING, MAY II, 1890

prised at reading in New York paper a mo-
tlce OF the marriage of Jennie Brewer and
~. r. Crosby. Miss Brewer was at the time
attending school in New York, whittier
young Crosby had gone, it was supposed to
visit his relatives. The marriage was love
matcn, m as 1t vas supposed without the consent
OF the brides father, whose opposition was
said TO- be based ON the youth
Of the bride. Returning to Montana
with his bride. Mr.. Crosby continued
MS law practice and newspaper work, and in
the latter scored brilliant successes. Shortly
atter MS wedding he went to Alaska, writ
ing series of letters for the INDEPENDENT
on that country and its people, which were
States.
Not finding the law or newspaper busi-
ness az profitable as he desired, Mr.. Crosby
commenced to deal in real estate and was
most fortunate. He WAS genial, good cor
respondent and made friends wherever he
went, and with an extensive acquaintance
found but little difficulty in successfully
conducting number of large deals. Re-
Gently he went to New York and Europe on
mission involving large amount Of
money.
A few months ago Mr.. Crosby moved
into very cozy, neatly furnished house on
Hayes avenue near Spruce street, he having
up to that time resided with his father-in-
law, Bishop Brewer. on Ewing street.
The unfortunate man was considered by
those who knew him best to be one of the
brainest young business men in Helena,
with great powers of observation, and who
had it in his power to make great success
of his life. 3
Mr.. Crosby took great interest in all
athletic matters. He was q good tennis
player, was one of the most active members
of the Helena club, and it was largely
owing to his efforts that the Montana Ken
mel club was organized last year and made
such successful display at the fair.

Is CHRIST COME AGAIN?

Tho Cheyenne Indians Nightly Disturbed
Over New Deliverer.
MILES CRY, May 16.-[Special. ]-Dr.
Burger, physician at the Cheyenne agency.
is in the city to-day. With regard to the
religious excitement now among the Chey-
ennes. he says the Indians are terribly
wrought up over the matter and that the
presence of three troops of cavalry from
Fort Custer undoubtedly keeps them from
altogether abandoning their regular duties.
No danger to the whites is expected, as a
part of the religion Of the new Christ is
that they must not fight the whites, but
must be good Indians. He has promised to
do the fighting for them. He says he will
get the Indians before him and the whites
behind and then turn the world over on
them and kill the whites.
The Indians speak of this deliverer as
The Ghost. He breaches Christ and him
crucified and shows the scars in his hands
and feet and the spear-thrust in his side.
The Indians says he is a long way from the
agency, in land where the sands burn the
feet of those who wish to see him. Two of
the Cheyennes, Porcupne and Big Beaver,
have seen him. They made long trip from
Lemhi, Idaho, and describe him
as beautiful man. They be-
came converts and are now preaching,
Porcupine being the chief orator. Two
Bannock Indians are now at the agency,
having Just returned from seeing the ghost,
and are lending their powers to the CONVEX
sion. Porcupine, who was before his recent
return poor Indian, now dresses in most
fantastic costume and is fed on plenty and
given the best horses by the Indians, who
are camped in numbers to hear him.

EVILS OF PAUPER IMMIGRATION,
The Subject Discussed at the Charities
and Correction Convention.

The Subject Discussed at the Cllaritiea
and Correction Convention.
BALTIMORE, May 16.-Immigration was
the principal subject of discussion by the
conference of Charities and Correction
to-day. President Van Antwerp, of the
New York state board of charities, read a
paper on the subject. He commended the
action of the treasury in placing the execu-
tion of the law at New York in the hands
of federal officers, and advises like action
at other points. The paper speaks of
the growing number of immigrants from
the south and interior of Europe, where the
people have language almost beyond our
ability to acquire, who have no inclination
to acquire ours, and whose vague concep-
tions of citizenship are not in keeping with
the American standard. II the coming to
this country of ignorant and undesirable
classes is not checked, enough ignorance
in time may he imported to overwhelm the
stability of our government itself.
A paper by MIR. Wrightington. of
Boston. set forth that while the
population of Massachusetts the last
twenty-five years had increased by
60 per cent, and the wealth but 80 per cent,
the expense for pauper support had in
creased 250 per cent. This great increase
of expenditure was due to the wholesale in

PORTLAND, Ore, May 16.-In an interview
to-day, President Adams, of the Union Pa
c1fic, speaking of the report from Omaha
concerning alleged mismanagement of the
Pacific system and the retirement of Cen
eral Manager Smith and Su perintendent
johnson, of the Pacific system, said:
'That article was inspired by an
official who recently left the service.
The story is entirely unwarranted. Messrs.
Holcomb. Ames and myself came over the
road from Omaha to Portland and both
track and rolling stock were found in very
good condition, considering the severity Of
the winter. No changes are contemplated
in the officials of the Pacific division.
Other recent changes were deemed neces-
sary to secure harmony."

WASHINGTON, May 16.-[Special. Sand
era to-day called upon the secretary Of war
and laid before him the reason why the
order vacating Fort Maginnis should be
rescinded. The order as issued, if it stands,
would abandon the fort June 30. This fort
is midway between two railroads. 200 miles
apart, and in the midst of country topo
graphically isolated. There arc many
bands of Indians roaming about, and while
they are not dangerous, troops are neces-
sary to prevent them from stealing from
the settlers in that country. The secretary
will give the matter further consideration
before the order goes into effect.
One of the first general amendments to
be offered to the tariff bill will come from
Funston, of Kansas, and will be to strike
out the clause taxing Mexican lead. A very
strong fight will be m9de by Carter and
Dubois and representatives from other min
ing states to keep the schedule as fixed in
the bill. Carter has printed in the Record
this morning some extended remarks on
the subject, giving many statistics bearing
on the matter, and showing how important
it was to lead-producing states that the
tariff should be put up on this Mexican ore.
Ex-Congressman Symes estimates that the
lead men will win by about ten votes. Car
ter is expecting defeat on account of the
tremendous lobby that is present in Wash
ington in favor of the smelters.
