Prosperity Ha. soured Him.

Mark Twain's success in life seems to
have made him crusty and sour. Years
ago, when he was struggling for fame and
fortune on the Pacific coast, those who
knew him said he was warm hearted and
cordial. But he Is certainly far from that
now. says the New York Mail and Err
pT.ss. When he comes To New York, as
he often does. he cvades newspaper re-
porters, and il by chance these industrious
gentlemen manage to waylay him and
seek an interview on any topic. the great
humorist j. not only rcticent, hut ugly and
disagreeable. Perhaps To those he knows
he is more friendly. Al any rate, the re-
portcrs now steer clear OF him. They
never bother him when he comes to the
city, and he is left alone in his glory.

dressed in a dark business suit. He has
an attractive face, "A splendid head, set
upon pair of strong shoulders. His eyes
are clear and his mouth denotes great
firmness. His hair is silvering gradually,
although there is an abundance OF IL. His
mustachc is reddish and his eyebrows are

The occupant Of the house adjoining Is
Mrs. Harriet Bcecher Stowe, and not far

ner. Mr.. Clemens never talks about his
books except TO those whom he knows
intimately. But there is one topic that he
is willing To discuss at any time and that
is international copyright. In fact, IL
may be said that he is a crank on the SUBJ
jcct. His books sell well. "Innocent

The Oddfellows at Dickinson,

DICKINSON, April 2e.-[Special. The
Oddfellows celebrated the seventy-frst
anniversary of the organization of their
order in the United States, here, to-day,
inagood style. They assembled at their
hall in the afternoon and at about 2::3O
o'clock formed in front thereof in full
regalia, nearly seventy strong, and, pre-
coded by the Dickinson oornet band,
they marched through some of the prin-
cipal streets to HSthe court house, where
they were addressed, appropriate to the
occasion, by Rev. L.. E. Brown and j. A.
Campbell. DR.. Bentley, of Bismarck,
was expected to deliver the great speech
of the occasion, but he was unfortunately
prevented by sickness in the family. In
the evening a bountiful supper, provided
by the members of the lodge, their wives
and the Daughters of Rebekah, was
spread for all members of the order in
good standing, their families and invited
friends. When the tables were cleared,
a couple of hours were spent in listening
to music, vocal and instrumental, and
short addresses. Then, for a little while,
Terpsichore reigned and the young folks
had the floor. .S.g..;

The Presidents First Veto,

WASHINGTON, April 70. PRESIDENT
Harrison sent his first veto to the house
to-day. In his message returning with
out his approval a bill to authorize the
city of Ogden, Utah, to increase it's in
debtedness, he says: 1.-THE general law
fixes a limit of 4 per cent on the last as
sessment for taxation as a limit of in
debtedness which municipal corporations
in territories may ssume This bill ex-
tends this limit as to Ogden to 8 per
cent. The purposes are not peculiar or
exceptional. They relate to schools,
street improvements, etc., and are com
mon to every prosperous town. Ii the
argument by which this measure is sup
ported is adopted as a conclusion, there
should be a repeal or modification of the
general law; but in my opinion the limit
alton allowed by law is wise and whole
some and should not be relaxed. The
city now has power to increase its in
debtedness $180,000, which would seem
to be enough to make a good beginning
in the construction of sewers, while most
of the street improvement is met by di-
rect assessment. Almost all states have
limited the power of municipal corpora
tons to incur indebtedness, and it is
generally lower than that fixed in terri
tories. A large city debt retards growth
and in the end defeats the purpose of
those who think by mortgaging the fu-
ture to attract population and property.
I do not doubt but that the citizens of
Ogden will ultimately r~ealizess that the
creation of a municipal debt of over
100000 by a city of $1,000 population,
being about 1897 per capita, is unwise."
Senate Bills Passed.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The senate
bill to carry out in part the terms of
agreement with the Sioux Indians of
Dakota for the sale of a portion of their
reservation and appropriating $780,
600 for that purpose, was reported and
passed. The senate then proceeded to
the calendar and passed among others
the following bills: Senate bill to valid
ate pre-emption filings and presumption
proofs, made within the states of North
and South Dakota, Montana and Wash
1ngton; senate bill authorizing the secre-
tary OF the interior to negotiate with the
Turtle Mountain band of Chippewa In
dams for cession of their reservation.
The president has approved the act in
regard to the immediate transportation
of dutiable goods, and an act to divide
the judicial district of North Dakota.
The president to-day nominated Jere-
miah G. Danerhower United States mar
shall for the district of Minnesota. Sec
rotary Proctor to-day telegraphed to the
governors of Louisiana, Mississippi, Ten
nessee and Arkansas, asking to be in
formed as to the extent of the restitution
in the overlooked country, and points to
which rations should be sent; also to
designate persons to act in con-
junction with officers to be as
signed to duty in the distribution of
stores.

THE PACKERS WON'T STRIKE.

CHICAGO, April 26.-It is now stated
that there will be no strike of packing
house employees at the stock yards as
was at one time feared, a strike which
would have involved $4,000 men. There
was a strong sentiment in favor Of it, but
older and cooler heads who had passed
through the disastrous strikes of 1886
counseled against it as hopeless, and
their counsel finally prevailed.
.%. THE TAI ITTER DID.
CHICAGO, April 26.-The gas filters
went out on a strike this morning as
threatened. The prospect is not very
hattering for the strikers and considera-
BILE dissatisfaction is already being felt
among them. ~.
