An Interesting Indian Chief
From the Palladelphfn Pres,.

From the Philadelphia Press.
John r. Stanley of Buffalo, who has been
visiting friends in Germantown, INDUCED
in recUllections about Indians. Mr.. Stanley
said:
while glancing over these dispatches
from Pine Ridge and st. Paul. which tell of
terror stricken settlers and frenzied Indian
warriors, there rises efore my mind the
the figure of a splendid young Sioux brave
named Ohoiyesa. Years ago he came east
ward from the Dakotas and prepared him
self for college. Their he adopted the En-
glsh name Charlie Eastman, but we who
were his chums and fellow clasSmen in dear
old Dartmouth preferred 10 call him Ohoi-
yesa, and he loved to hear the soft, flowing
word.
"Ohoiyesa was a remarkable man then,
and to-day he is still more remarkable lie
IS full-blooied Sioux, a n of one of the
greatest chiefs on the American continent
The first time | ever saw him was during
my initial attendance at service in the old
white college church wherein Webster and
Choate used to worship. Ohoiyesa sat next
to window, and leaned his head on his
arm, which rested on the sill He was
sleepy and before the sermon was over his
head began to nod, and nod, and suddenly,
crash, it went through tho windowpane,
scattering the glass far and wide.
I'VE had unending entertainment with
Ohoiyesa. He was tall and slender, 1.-THE as
panther, agile az cat, sharp as a razor.
Not an ounce OF spare flesh encountered
him; his eyes were like the darkest nighs,
illumined now and then by sudden flashes OF
llghtniag his teeth were strong and in
tensely white, his chest and back and limbs
were covered with layers OF huge muse ,es,
hard as so much iron.
Zone Of the first places in this country
honored with lecture by Matthew Arnold
was Dartmouth. After delivering his lect-
ure, the noted scholar was rendered recep-
tion. and there learned that among the
students was Ohoiyesa, a future great chief
of the Sioux. Arnold was delighted, and
begged his host to produce the Indian. For
the next half hour the Engllshman kept
CHANGING nervously at the door, listening
for a war whoop, looking for the appear
ance of Ohoiyesa clad in breechclout and
leggings, besmeared with ochre, bedecked
with eagles feathers. and armed with toma-
hawk AID scalping knife. AT last Arnold
ing to the president of Dartmouth, he said /:

"'Why, my dear sir, you've been talking

he exclaimed, slowly scanning tho hand
some young fellow who stood there in per-
fectly fitting dress suit. Ohoiyesas mag
nihCehb eteo epdThleu WIN luli, ana ne as
sured Arnold that he was an Indian.
"Since then Ohoiyesa has studied medi-
cine at Harvard. where he carried away
high honorS. The last time / sa him he
said that he was going back to Dakota TO
teach his relatives and friends how to live
like white men, to gain influence over other
Indians by attending them when ILL.,.
"If the Secretary Of War should request
Ohoiyesa 10 60 to the ghost dances now in
progress and try to break them up, think
he would make the attempt

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE vs.aUMAN1rY
Is There No Way to Belp the Sick
Child of an Obstinate Crank2
II M.


From the Kansas city Times
The humane officials are in quandary as
to how they shall thwart the intention Of
William Reid, Christian scientist, of 3lO8
Holly street. to prevent the attendance of
physicians upon his 9-year-old daughter,
who is now very near death with fever.
A few weeks ago Reds wife died from the
effects of a fever, and without medical
assistance, Reid having forbidden it. After
ward his daughter became i'll, and again he
refused TO have medical attendance. He
was arrested. but discharged, as criminal
neglect could not be proven. 1t is now
feared that Reid's daughter will die for lack
Of medical attendance, and the case is Great

A MORMON WIGS STATUS.
Important Decision by the Supreme
Court in Polygamy Case.

Court in g Polygamy Case.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The supreme
court of the United States the other day
rendered an important decision in Nor
mon polygamy case, holding that wife is
not a competent witness against the hus-
band where polygamy is the crime charged.
William E. Bassest was IN 1886 found
guilty of polygamy on the testimony of his
first wife. from whom he had been divorced
after he took a second wife The former
wife's testimony vas the only evidence pro-
duced. and it was upon her testimony that
Bassett's conviction was secured. He
took an appeal to the supreme court of
Utah. contending that the wife's testimony
was not properly admissible. and when
the territorial court decided against
him brought the case here The court re-
verses the decision of the territorial court,
and holds that the wife was an incompetent
witness. In its opinions, prepared by Jus
tice Brewer. the court says: "The question
presented is not how much she the wife)
feels or suffers (by reason OF the plural
marriage. but whether the crime Is one
against her. Polygamy and adultery may
he crimes which involve disloyalty TO
the marital relation, but they are rather
crimes against such relation than against
the wife: and as the statute the Edmunds-
Tucker anti-polygamy act under which
the man was tried speaks of crimes against
her. it is simply an affirmation OF the old
common law rule, that q wife cannot testify
AGAINST her husband" The case was re-
mnndrd to the Utah courts with directions
To grant new trial.

GRANTS PROPHETIC DREAM.
1t Located the Cause of the Mysteri-
GUS Fire Alarms.

GUS Fire Alarms.
From the Ne,o York Times.
NEW HAVEN, CONN, Dec. 25.--James
Grant, an electrician, who is assistant to
Supt. William C. Smith of the New Haven
fire alarm telegraph SERVICE two weeks ago
located a break in one of the insulated
cables in very unusual manner, and after
ng-continued efforts in the ordinary di-
rection bad failed. The break had existed
for nearly a month, and during that
time the fire alarm bells of the city rang
at intervals in very eccentric manner.
Supt. Smith and his men searched for the
source of the trouble day after day without
finding any trace of it, and the matter be-
came veritable mystery in the department.
A suspicion prevailed that the scientific stu
dents at Yale had developed a new practical
joke. and were in some way causing the fire
bells to ring. Later Developments, however,
proved that the students were innocent.
A week ago Saturday night a single
stroke on the bells aroused the firemen at
about o'clock and sent the horses at every
station hurrying their places at the en-
gines aud wagons. James Grant at No. z
jumped up with the others and was dis
gus ed to think that the stroke had been
caused by the same old trouble which
he and the otter electricians were unable to
discover. Mr.. Grant went out and made a
brief and unsatisfactory investigation, and
then he returned to his bed and went to
sleep thinking of the mystery of the wires.
While sleeping hs dreamed that the
trouble was at box 54l. When he awoke
he remembered his dream, and at first gave
little thought to it. But the idea that
there might be something in the dream
gradually forced itself upon him, and he
concluded that the vicinity of Box 541
might as well be examined as any other part
Of the system. He reported his dream to
Mr.. Smith, the superintendent, and was
laughed at. The superintendent :afterward
thought, however that there might be some
coincidence. and the next day he, with
Grant and others, inspected the wires at
Box SAL. This box is situated at the top of
aristocratic Prospect Hill, in a rather re-
mote part Of the city, which would prob
ably have never occurred to Fireman Grant
as a place where break in the wires might
be expected if he had not dreamed of it,
Less than 100 feet away a disconnection in
one of the insulated wires was discovered
The wire was broken in such way that
the ends were pushed together at various
intervals. This was enough 20 cause all of
the eccentriclty, but Supt. Smith was
skeptical, and resolved to see whether any
more ringing followed before he accepted
this break rs the one which had caused als
the trouble. Not an unaccountable stroke
has since been heard.

doctors. II. c. Harper OF Westport, also a
believer in christian science, has taken great
interest in the case
Humane Officer Macran has made several
attempts TO get the child away from It's
father and place IL in the children's hospital,
but the father stoutly refuses 20 allow il to
be taken away. An effort was also made
to have a writ of habeas corpus i-sued, but
Judge Seammon, attorney for the humane
society, gave it as bis opinion that this could
not be done, and the humane society Is now
as much at sea as before. The humane olii-
GERS received a letter from Reds brother at
Fort Scott, Kan, imploring them 20 COM
pei Reid TO give his child medical attention.
The christian scientists are giving Reid
unanimous support in his fight against the
humane society.

made this most pleasant trip, and af-
forded SO much to be seen and enjoy
cd for SO small an outlay Of time and

topic of general comment and It is
taken for granted that the Railroads
will again offer another golden OPP
portunity to others who desire to look
on the lengthy panorama of unsur-
passed mountain scenery, about which
SO much has boon written, but which
