1he Ghost ID lncr

Ntin the ath inst, upon an invitation
from Sitting Bull, an Indian named
Kicking Bear, belonging to the
Cheyenne river agency, the chief medi-
cine man of the Ghost dance among the
Sioux, arrived at Sitting Bulls camp,
on Grand river, to iuaugurate a Ghost
dance and initiate the members. Upon
learning Of his arrival there l sent de-
tatchment cf thirteen policemen iucIud-
ing the captain and second lieutenant to
arrest and escort him from the reserya-
tion. but they returned without .eXecut-
ing the order. both officers being Ill a
'dazed condition. and fearing the
powers Of Kicking Bears medicine.
Sitting Bull was very insolent to the
officers, and made threats against cer-
tain members of the force, but said that
the visityrs woHld leave the following
day. On the 18th ! sent the lieutenant
and one man back to see whether fine
party had left and to notify Sitting
Bull that his insolence and bad behavior
would not be tolerated longer, and that
the great dance must not be continued
Must Danoe to Live.
"The lieutenant returned and report
ed that the purity had not started back
to Cheyenne before his arrival there. on
the morning of the 18TH, but left imme-
diately upon his ordering them do so,
and tnat Sitting Bull told him that he
was determined to continue the Ghost
dance, rs the Great Spirit had sent a
direct message by Kicking Bear that to
live they must do SO, but that he weuld
not have any more dancing until he had
come 20 he agency and talked the mat
ter over with me, but the news comes
in that they are dancing again. Deslr-
ing to exhaust all reasonable means be-
fore resorting TO extremes, / have sent
a message to Sitting Bull by his nephew,
One Bull, that l want TO see him at the
agency, and feel quite confident that /
shah succeed in ailaying the present ex-
citement, and put . stop to this absurd

ON The BRINK OF DISASTER.
The Wholesale DFy-GOOdS Trade in a
PerilOuS Condition.

PHILADELPHIA, April pa correspond
ent of the Press, who has interviewed the
dry-goodS dealers at New York.. writes /:
One of the managers declared the trade
was standing upon the brink of a greater
disaster that it has known since the war.
1t is probable that panic may be averted,
yet the condition is such that the collapse
OF one or two more of the great houses will
surely bring about these evil times"
a large merchant said: " The condition
of the dry-goods trade for the last eighteen
months has been unsatisfactory 1t has
been at all times and is at present a danger
Gus one. By the dry-goods trade mean to
include all of that business which is done
in fabrics, cOttons or woolens" A CORE
spOndent also writes: " In speaking Of the
matter to the managers of the chief houses
in the dry-g0Ods trade | was astoniShed to
find their opinions cOincided with that of
those who take the worst possible view of
the situation"
Among the causes assigned for the de-
preston are two mild winters which.
coming conseCutively, played havoc with
woolenS; also, the overStocking of the
market.
NEW YORK. April 25-The leading dry
goods merchants here say the trade is all
right. The reports of an impending disaster
predicted by the New York correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press are secuted by

A Substitute to Be Submitted
to the Senate.
The Republicans Of The Finance Com
mlttee at Work on The Measure.
A Wide Difference Of Opinion on Several
Clauses Of the House Bill-A
Conference Agreed Upon.
Special by the California Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, April 25-The Republl-
cans of the Senate Finance Committee are
at work on the Tariff Bill to be reported to
the Senate as substitute for the Mckinley
bill. They expect to have all the work
done and ready to report very soon after
the Mckinley bill passes the House. The
understanding is that the Mckinley bill is
to pass the House practically as it is. but
there is no expectation of it becoming law
in that form.
Inc Senate is expected to pass quite
dlfferent bill and the whole matter will be
settled in conference, on the disagreement
between the two houses. 1t is said there
mas never been any expectation among the
party leaders that the Mckinley bill would
bee ONE law in anything like the form it
was reported.
: 1t is understood that the plan was pretty
well settled on from the first, and that. with
this view, there will be no serious difficulty
In passing the bill through the House.
Ihere is quite radical difference of views
between the Senate Finance Committee
and Mr.. Mckinley on several points, as the
ideas of the ultra protectionists are ex-
pressed in the Mckinley bill.
Protests are being received by the Ways
and Means Committee from interests in
various parts of the country, many Of which
conflict with each other. Over five hundred
formal petitions, bearing many hundreds of
signatures, have been received since the
bill was reported. Some of the petitions of
protests are very emphatic in language, but
the committee remains compla cent and con-
tent with its work

INCREASE OF INSANITY.

Startling Statistics That French Authori-
ties Furnish.
Recent investigations conducted by NJ.
Paul GARNER and embodied in a report to a
convention of French doctors give start
ling facts as to the increase of insanity in
that country, aud especially as to the in
crease Of that form of insanity due to the
excessive use of alcoholic drinks From
1871 to 1855 insanity increased by 80 per
cent Fifty-six per cent of the insane are
men and a per ent are women. The in
crease during the past seventeen years has
been almost entirely in the branches of
alcoholic insanity and of general paralysis
or pareSis. There has been very little in
crease In mania, melancholia and chronic
delirium. Alcohol and .overwork are, there
fore, held responsible for the greater part
of the increase of insanity during recent
years. The frequency Of alcoholic Insanity
has doubled within the past fifteen years,
and the cases have increased % per cent in
the last three years. Fifteen years ago the
proportion OF women among the cases of
alchOllc insanity WAS one-siXth. Now it is
one-hfth. A singular fact noted is that the
number of new cases of insanity is greater
III the spring, and this is especially true of
general pareSis, of which the month of May
seems to inaugurate annually an epidemic.

Managers and Leading Actors Too La,
in Their Rebake.

Managers and Leading Actors Too Lax
in Their Rebake.
Innocent mirth is most desirable, but not
mirth expended at the cost of another's
feeling; and Salisbury's unfortunate ca
reer, terminating as it did in sickness and
poverty, is an example of handsome man,
possessed of fair ability, who by utter dis
regard OF loyalty to his manager and Of re-
spect for the public. gradually lost the con-
fdence of all who knew him, and became
neglected wreck. The practice of guying
is objectionable, and the indulgence in it
unworthy OF an artist or gentlemen. The
leisure hours passed in a dressing-room or
the greenroom afford ample time for an ac-
tors amusement without inflictng the
exuberance of his personal humor upon the
audience. The rehearsals and subsequent
performances of a play are not his prop
erty, and he has no right to mutilate them.
Managers and leading actors are altogether
too lax in their rebuke of this senseless and
ruinous practice. They should neither
commit the Outrage themselves nor permit
it in others. Where example leads the
way" the multitude will follow, and no
leader can rightly claim the respect Of his
company unless he shows it to them and
the public. l have suspicion that guying
begins where ability leaves off, aud that
many actors exhibit this trifling to conceal
their own Shorteomings.-IheC Century

FALSE TEETH,
III They Don't Decay Still They shou

III They Don't Decay Still They Should
BE Properly Cared For.
How long do false teeth wear?" an ex-
perienced dentist was asked the other day.
You might as we'll say How long does
a suit of clothes wear2'" was the reply.
at all depends upon the quality OF the
teeth and the care of the person who uses
them. If woman bites thread with her
artificial molars they are likely to be ruined
in weak. On the other hand, know per-
sons who have worn the same set for twenty
years and have never been compelled to
have them repaired. Sets made of the best
material and in the best manner should last
lifetime with proper care"
" What is the proper care of false teeth ?'-
Both the plates and the crowns should
be removed from the mouth and cleansed
every night and morning."
. "Do artificial teeth decay?"
NO. They are all made of porcelain,
which is not subject to decay as the natural
bone is. But at the same time porcelain is
more brittle than bone, and hence an artif-
cial tooth will not stand many hard
knocks"
What is the difference in the durability
OF hlgh-priced and cheap teeth?"
That is difficult question. Cheap teeth
are made OF a material that bears the same
relation to that of the best teeth that COM
mon stone china plate does to a Sevres vase.
Cheap teeth look like glazed china, and that
is about all that some of them are. Now.
so long as the glaze lasts the teeth are as
strong as those made of the coStliest mate
rial, and have known a set costing next to
nothing to perform service for many years.
They are not quite so brittle, in fact, as
those made of the finest porcelain. But the
chief superiority of the latter lies In their
shape and appearance and in the exactitude
with which they are fitted to the gums"
What is the best sort of plate?"
" One made OF gold, But black rUhhar Ia
just about as durable, only it is harder TO
keep perfectly clean"
Are complete sets of artificial teeth not
uncommon?"
" Partial sets are more frequently seen,
but complete sets are by no means un-
usual"
WHO wear the most false teeth-men or
women?"
Women, by long odds. 1 don't think
the result is due alone to vanity, however,
although that may have something to do
with it. The chief rea son is that the natu-
raj teeth Of women are not as good and
strong as those of men. aud, therefore,
have to be more frequently replaced by
artificial teeth. boston Herald

The Man who won't Move.

Can rider in sheet-car be compelled to
"move up" at the command of the conduc-
tor, under pain Of election from the vehicle?
That is the knotty question which has Just
been committed to the decision of Pitts
burg Alderman, and his disposal Of it will be
watched with no small degree of interest.
In this case the man who refused to "move
up" was occupying seat in the middle of
a space which gave room enough for two,
and he refused so to change his position as
to permit another passenger to sit down.
Obviously this individual was a curmudg-
con, and the decision of the court ought to
60 against him. As he only paid for one
seat, he had no right to monopolze room
enough for two, aud he deserved all he got
But how about the oppressed Individual
who is hanging on strap ana is COM
manded by the conductor to ''move up front
to let a lady in off the PLATFORM" Has he
any rights? Can he be compelled to take
up another standpoint? That is the ques-
tion we would like 10 see adjudicated once
