Comanche reservations a series of ghost or
spirit dances were inaugurated, which are
still in progress, and will continue all
winter, for it is fast becoming the general
belief that the Messiah will appear to all in
the spring, and the prophets who have seen
him command that the dance shall continue
until he appears.
One large party of Comanches recently
made their annual pilgrimage into the
canons of the Wichita Mountains, where
they yearly perform their sacred rites. No
white man has ever been allowed to witness
these ceremonies, but some of the Indians
who were present, claim that the Messiah
appeared to them standing on the mountain
his coming. Since they have announced
this to the other tribes the greatest excite
meut has legun to prevail.
Large numbers of the Kiowa tribe have
been dancing for three weeks, and during the
dance they lacerate their breasts and limbs
with knives and spears, roll in the mud in
fits and convulsions and ride horses into
dangerous streams. Other tribes are work
ing themselves up into frenzy in the same
manner. and alarm is beginning to be ex-
pressed by all who are experienced in Indian
affairs.
THE MAJORITY FOR WAR.
Part of the Indians believe that the Mes
siah will remove the whites trem the land
peaceably, but large numbers believe he
will command the Indians to drive them out
by force, and to that end they are making
preparations. Arms and ammunition have
been purchased and the members of the
tribes are all better armed than they had
ever been before. The dances continue all
over the western part of the Territory and as
the time draws nearer when the Messiah is
expected, all the tribes grow more restless.
Messengers are going back and forth con-
tinually, and it is feared that an outbreak is
being arranged. But little can be learned
regarding future plans or the details of the
Messiah's teachings, for the Indians are for
hidden, under penalty of death, to reveal
them.
Should an outbreak occur, great amount
OF damage would be done by the Indians
before they could be checked, as the forces
here, at Ft. Reno and other posts, are en-
tirely inadequate to cope with the large
numbers of Indians who would gather
Every effort is being made by the agents to
quiet the red men, but they will not listen
to the whites, their only reply being, "The
Messiah is coming; we must prepare to re-
ceive him. On with the dance"

a few weeks ago, when the show became
stranded in Nashville, he was employed as
driver. He stated that the show had but
one attraction that was worth anything.
This attraction was a young lady who per-
formed several difficult feats on tall
ladder which heavy native OF
Japan balanced on his chest. The
Jap was also an expert in drinking whisky,
and one day in Nashville he was so much
intoxicated that the ladder was unsteady
and the girl fell. One of her arms and both
legs were broken. Several of her ribs were
fractured, and her back was injured.

recovered from his attack of malarial fever
he was given ticket by the Poor Board
authorities of Nashville to Louisville, KY,
and when he arrived there he managed to
secure ticket to Cincinnati and then one
to Pittsburg, arriving here yesterday. After
questioning the boy closely. and being salts.

PREPARING sALTED ALMONDS.
Recipe for the Dainty Dish That is All the
Craze of Late

Recipe for the Dainty Dish That is All the
Craze of Late.
Sailed almonds are now a favorite dish at
receptions, teas, luncheons and even dinners
and their popularity is increasing all the
time. They>are expensive when bought at
the coniectioners', but here is a simple
recipe for preparing them at home: First,
carefully crack the nuts so that the kernels
can be extracted whole. then blanch the
almonds by placing them in scalding water,
which causes the brown covering of the nut
to loosen, when it can readily be removed.
Have ready pan of fine salt and when the
nuts are all blanched place the warm, wet
kernels into the salt. Then set the pan
away until next morning in order to give
them time for the salt to soak little in the
almonds.
Next day remove the kernels from the
salt and place them in clean pan. The
salt which still clings to them will drop of;
do not try to remove it. Place the pan of
nuts in the oven to brown, and stand by
them, as they require constant attention.
Stir often and bake quickly to a light
brown. When done pour them into cold
pan and allow them to cool.

When was in Bangkok, I heard so much
of the 'sacred troop" of jugglers from
Paklaie and their secular performances
especially the last one in the great pagoda
of Phnom, the remembrance of which
seemed to be vividly impressed upon the
minds of all who witnessed it-that, when 1

the Temple of Juthia during the festivities

effort to be present.
My friend, Prince Pha-tajac, when I told
him of some of the remarkable coujuring
and legerdemain had seen in japan, and
in Bengal also, at the Rajah's court, near
Mcorshedabad, used to shrug his shoulders
and say: 'That is all trick! You should see
the royal troop of Paklaie. Don't you
know that sorcery is indigenous to the soil
of Laos?" Then he would add, "But of
course, you cannot see Tepada and Moro
dom, YOU are not initiated, nor a noble of
SIAM" And he would give ME no more
satisfaction about it, question him as I
might.
Not long since, was conversing with a
Jesuit priest in Saigon, and he told me that
he scarcely knew how to understand or to
deal with these people. 81 was e1patiating

Woun-Tajac called me early the next day,
and he and his fathers cousin, Jolly, fat
old gentleman called Soondatch-Tam-Bo Bon

the performances in the great pagoda. A
white turban was wound around nv head,

The pagoda of Juthia is more cele-

size, or the splendor of its architecture. It
is, nevertheless, a building of some very
striking features. 1t is situated without the
city, upon broad and commanding terrace,
elevated considerably above the level of the
river-plains. 1t is approached from the city
by a long brick-paved avenue, wide,
straight and imposing. This avenue, which
is halt mile IN length and nearly 100 feet
wide, is bordered upon each side by strips of

POPULARITY OF THE SENATE.
Devices for Ending Debate, Except by Con-
sent. Utterly Lacking.

Devices for Ending a Debate, Except by Con-
sent, Utterly Lacking.
The Senate differs from the House of Rep
resentatives and, believe, from all other
legislative bodies in this country, in that
the ''previous question" and every other de-
vice for putting an end to debate, except
that of unanimous agreement is unknown
to its proceedings, writes Senator Hoar in
the Youths Companion.
The previous question:" according to
the practice of parliamentary bodies here, is
introduced by a motion that the main
question be now put" In the House of
Representatives it is put without debate. In
some assemblies debate is allowed, which.
however, is confined strictly to the question
whether or not the vote shall be taken at
once, without permitting any discussion of
the merits of the pending measure.
If the previous question" is ordered,
there can be no further debate, and. what is
commonly of quite as much Importance,
there can be no further amendment. The
measure must be adopted or rejected as it ls
SO that members are put in the awkward
position of being compelled to vote against
a measure containing some things they ap-
prove, or for a measure containing some
things which they dislike, without a chance
to perfect it, or record their opinion on par
ticular parts or clauses. Measures are
passed or defeated without giving opportu-
nifty to the members of the body, either to
instruct their associates by discussion or to
perfect the measure by suggesting amend
ments.
There are also in other legislative bodies
limitations on the time of debate, either by
general rules or by special orders passed by
the majority in particular cases. But in the
Senate there can be no limit upon debate ex-
cept by unanimous consent.
In this assembly speech is absolutely un-
fettered. Every measure can be discussed
fully without restraint and amended without
limit. This is of immence Importance, not
only to the perfection of legislation, but also
to the dignity of the Senate, and, in my
opinion, to civil liberty itself.

THE CITY AND COUNTRY.

The Sameness in One Contrasted With the
Variety of the Other.
New York Sum-
The dweller in the city sees substantially
the same surroundings the year through,
but the man who has moved to asuburban
residence is likely to be surprised when the
leaves have fallen from the trees, for then he
sees houses, church steeples, and other OBJ
jects, near and far, of whose existence he
had before had no knowledge.
Sometimes these revelations are pleasant
and sometimes unpleasant, but usually they
are agreeable, and if he stays there it is
likely that with recurring years he will
have rather friendly feeling for certain
distant buildings which appear prominently
when the winter season comes and disappear
again in the spring.

Twelve years ago she went to Plono,

time ago she had some trouble with her
daughter, and came back to Pittsburg to

When she arrived here she could not dis
cover any of her old acquaintances. After
wandering about the city she was given a
refuge in the Home for the Destitute. Her
request was granted.

BASEBALL AS A BUSINESS.
A Pittsburger Tells of the Millions Invested
in the Industry.

In the INDUSTRY.
"When people speak Of baseball"
said J. Palmer O'Neill, the President of the
Pittsburg League Baseball Club, to a New
York Star reporter recently, mot many
realize what business it has grown to be.
There is nearly S., 900, 900 of capital invested
in baseball in the League and Association
clubs, without taking into account the out
side baseball organizations. The Boston
League Club plant is worth 1000, 900,
which, of course, includes grounds, grand
stand, etc. The Philadelphia League plant
cost nearly as much; Chicago about $780,
600; New York, S4OO 900 (the New York
Club does not own the Polo Grounds), and
so on.
"You see, it is big business. and ranks
with almost any of our infant industries.
No, we haven't applied to Congress for
protection. Baseball is one thing in this
country Independent of foreign competi-
tion."

Men aud Horses Fall 100 Feet

From the Louisville Commercial.
James Wilson and ohm Martin, residing near
Edwardsville, went to New Albany yesterday
afternoon to procure a coffin in which to bury
James Routh. On their return from the city
the heavy rain storm came up and the sky be-
came SO dark that they we're unable to see the
road ahead Of them, and they trusted to their
horses to take them safely along the dangerous
highway.
At the point where the storm overlook them
the road winds around the high hills, and in
many places passes near high precipces. The
rain was pouring down in torrents, and il was
only when the lightning flashed they were en-
abled to see the road at all
Suddenly there was O brilliant fash Of light
ming, followed by deafenlng peal Of thunder,
which stunned the men and seemed to stagger
the horses. Before they could recover from
the shock the horses and wagon fell over a
precipice. and all went down distance OF ITO
feet Some men who were passing heard the
cries Of distress and went to their assistance
They found the men and the horses and wagon
In deep hollow, more than 100 feet below
where the road passes the top OF the precipice.
Wilson was almost unconscious while his COM
panion lay near him bruised and bleeding.
One OF the horses was dead and the other so
badly crippled that it will have to be killed.
Tho wagon and the coffin were both smashed
to pieces.
The men were gotten out Of the place and
taken to their homes. Wilson is the most seri-
ously injured and 1t is thought no cannot live.
Martins injuries are OF q serious nature, and
his recovery is u matter OF considerable doubt
