CUSTER'S LAST RALLY.
The Loss of the Indians in the Fight Yet
Unknown,

Mai. Frank Yates fell to talking last
evening at the Forepaugh Show about
Gen Custerer's battle with the Sioux at
Little Big Horn Creek and the ensuing
massacre, says the Philadelphia Inquirer
sit will never be known" he said, how
many Indians were killed by Custer and
troops before they were overwhelmed.
The Indians were reticent about it.
Some of them say there were only fifteen
killed, but we know better than that.
There was something like 800 of Custer
men killed and they made every bullet tell
that they could under the peculiar circum-
stances of the irregular hattie. My brother
George Yates, was Captain of the Seventh
Cavalry, and his body was lying alongside
of General Clusters and near him were
thirty-two of his troop. arranged just like
sardines in a row. and just where they fell.
There were lots of shells lying in little
heaps beside the bodies indicating that
they had made terrible struggle for their
lives. There were about 300 of the whites
killed. but the Indians would never tell
how many they lost, and are, to this day.
extremely reticent about the matter. 1t is
something very hard to find out, but from
expressions | occasionally hear, their loss
must have been very great. Part of the
band that engaged Custer went north and
the other south. Those who went north
went over Wood Mountain and thus escap-
ed into the Northwest, where it was diff
cult to trace them Custer was to blame, ]
think for the result He unfortunately
and injudiciously engaged with the In
diahs when he knew that their forces was
so overwhelmingly large. Maj. Reno was
cooped up some miles away and could moi
come to Clusters relief, being engaged
with diminishing band of Indians who
prevented his coming. You can imagine
what a force the Indians had when their
camp along the Little Big Horn was four
miles up and down the river and mile to
two miles wide. Custer, who was out on
the scout, very injudiciously, think, and
unfortunately for him, decided to attack
chem. The Indians broke camp so quick
ly that the troops were wholly unprepared
to find a deserted village when they made
the river. There were many wounded ones
among those who returned to the reserva-
ton, but the information was kept quiet
and they were nursed back to health by
their fellows

Interrunted Memory.

From an article entitled "A Study of
Consciousness, by Professor H. S. Wood,
IN the Century for May, we quote as fol-
lows: During the centennial exhibition
big, burly Scotchman was brought to the
hospital unconscious from sunstroke.
plunged him into a mass Of slush and
water and piled great masses of ice about
his head. As he gradually struggled
back to consciousness, his first sensation
was that he was packed away in an Ice
box and doomed When he came more
fully to himself his first inquiry was,
Who am ~ | said, who are you?'
This he could not answer. For four days
that man lay in the hospital, apparently
perfectly rational, wondering who he was.
During all this time his friends were
searching, and had detectives looking for
him all through Philadelphia. At last
his recollection came back, and he was
able to g've his name.
''Some years ago in one of our southern
cities a man was seized by the police and
taken to a hospital, where he told the
following story: 4 know nothing who
am or where came from. All | know is
that found myself on the railroad plat
form a short time ago. | then drifted into
a hall and heard a temperance lecture
goaded into fury by the eloquence of the
speaker, | rushed out and began to smash
the windows Of neighboring drinking
saloon; consequent attack ON me by the
roughs led to my arrest by the police and
my being brought to. the hospital, That
IS all know; who | am | cannot tell.
At the time of the publication of the re-
port of this case the hospital authorities
had not found out who the man was"
A few years later, when Uncle Erastus
will was opened, it was found that Her
bert Wise's prejudicial hints had not in
jured his cousin the least. For besides
stubhornly apportioning large sum to the
city hospital, of which he had been the
senior visiting, physician, the old doctor
had further demonstrated the contrariness
of human nature by leaving to his nephew,
Archibald Wise, twice as much money as
he lett his more ambitious cousin Herbert,
who unconsciousy displeased his good
uncle by base, yet perfectly true insinua-
ton, only its truthfulness was fortunately
concealed. Boston Transcript.

A man is putty, wax. clay, in her hands. Nature deals her one card, art aRother, the modiste a third, fashion fourth, and if she plays her trump first the game is hers. One of the winning cards is white dress; a glib tongue is another power; affability and amiability are right and left bowers, and the girl who can keep still and smile without grtnning can bag the wariest game.

The winsted Mall Robbers May Never
 Be Captured.
 Nothing more has been discovered about the Winsted mail robbery and the probability is that the prosecution of the miscreants will be dropped. The matter is in the hands of Mail Inspector Bario but he has been in Hartford only once since the time of the robbery and as nothing has been heard from him at the postoffice or in the way of report to the postmaster general it looks as if he intended to do nothing more about it. The robbery it will be remembered was a very daring one and the clues to the perpetration at one time seemed plain. Many people consider it unfortunate that they should not have been run down and prosecuted as examples. The strangest thing about the whole affair is that Postmaster Kinney has not heard a word from any of the missing mail mat ter. There must have been several let ters which were lost but not a single communication of complaint has been received,

THE SHELBY MYSTERY.

Coroner Doten still Declares It Was
 Case of Suicide.
 The coroner's jury in the Seeley case, the man whose mysterious death in Stepney caused snch a sensation a few weeks ago, will probably be impanelled to morrow when the facts in the case, from evidence, will be laid before them. For some time Coroner Doten has been ready to render his verdict, but the family of the deceased desired to employ detectives and at their request the yer dict was deferred and an investigation by a coroner's jury allowed. The story that deceased's money was missing from his pockets when he was found hanging in his barn is a mistake. His money was in his pockets and was found there, so the coroner says, and he is a compe- tent authority for the statement. The detective, whoever he is, that has been employed on the case, is not as bright as some detectives are. First class detec- tives do not publish to the world the evidence they secure until the proper time comes to make it known. The coroner is satisfied that it was a case of suicide, but says if a jury disagrees with him, it will be be- cause of stronger theories of murder are presented than any yet brought out.

SIR MoRELL MACKENZIE.
How the Great London Physician UtiliEea
 Every Minute of the Day.

HOW Ghe GrSaG LOnuOn RnyBlcIan UtlAlBeA
 Every Minute of the Day.
 In is said; in the profession that no physician in London receives so many patients in his consulting room as Sir Morell Mackenzie. They come, not only from every part of England, but from every part of the world, and the list includes royalties and nobles as we'll as commoners. In addition to the pa tirnts who call, there are the patients who must be called upon. And then you may say the work is but begun. For a man whose working days are very long, Sir Morell is an early riser. He has breakfasted, read his mail and morn ing papers. and is out of the house by nine o'clock. He reserves the hour from nino to ten for few urgent cases which require a timely morning visit. Re- turning home, he receives patients in his consulting room for the next four hours. All who call before two o'clock may have audience with him. At two he lunches with his family. But there may be a dozen persons waiting at that hour, and they must be attended to after luncheon. Then he enters his carriage and makes his round of calls. If he reaches home by 7:30 he thinks he has done we'll. After dinner he goes through his correspondence, and per- haps finishes a scientific article or adds a chapter to one of his medical works. He rarely dismisses his secretary before eleven o'clock, and he is generally at his own desk until midnight.
 I was much amused one day when he showed me his arrangement" as he calls it. His arrangement" consists of two consulting rooms, connected by a narrow passage, closed at each end by swinging doors. During "ofice hours" the reception room is certain to be filled with patients. The caller, in his order of arrival, is shown by polite man. servant into one of the consulting rooms. Presently Sir Morell enters, greets his patient, discusses the ''case," and when the discussion is at an end, touches hidden signal, to which an att
 endant responds, as the great physician bows courteously to the departing wis., itor, and then disappears through his ''private exit" to the second consulting room where another patient is in wait- ing. When this lease has been dis posed of," Sir Morell retreats again to the first room, to which third visitor has meanwhile been admitted, and dur ing this interview a fourth caller is shown to an adjoining apartment Thus Sir Morell is never kept in wait ing, and thus he saves his own time, as we'll as the time of his patients Like paptomime, isn't it?' said he, as he gave me practical illustration of the efficiency of his arrangement" ''l am continually appearing and disap- bearing through doors." But the visit ing patient sees no evidence of the pres sure that is always upon the genial doctor-the arrangement is so perfect, the polite attendants are so thoroughly trained and Sir Morells manner is SO cordial and attractive. '"This lit tie passage saves me at least an hour and a half every day." said the famous physician, with a merry twinkle in his keen brown eves.-Bo&tc Herald.

A New England League Probable.

A New England League Probable. . A New England base ball league is now being talked of for next season. It is probable that a league will be formed of six or eight clubs and an effort will be made to revive the game in this city. The other cities that are to be included are : New Haven, Hartford, Worcester, Providence, Brockton, Salem and Lynn. At present the outlook for an Atlantic association next season is poor, and the disbanding of the Players league will throw many good players in the market. Some of the base bali magnates of the state believe that league in New Eng land would pay and seem to be willing to risk capital in the effort. Waterbury used to be the leading base ball city in Connecticut.

Keep the Feet Warm and the Head Cool and You Can Defy the Doctors.
 The weather has a strong foreboding of grip in it, and sickness is spreading in the city. The weather of this month so far has been chiefly of that musty, sticky kind from which the people suf- fered so much last autumn aud winter. The doctors warn the people that they should guard against all chIlIs and colds. however slight, or they may be visited again by the grip.
 Malaria is roaming about and if the persons afflicted with this complaint are not unusually careful their malaria will be supplemented by the grip. Keep the feet dry and warm and the whole body at a normal temperature, avoiding great heat or long-continued cold or sudden draughts, and, other things being equal, you will escape the plague of last year, even if this weather does continue, so say the doctors,
