Mr.. wolfe's New Paper

The initial (ApriD number Of Evan
gelist Wolfes paper, "John Three
sixleen," male its appearance last
week and the edition was large enough
to occupy THE CHIEFTAIS's power press
for the better part Of three days. The
best description of the paper TO those
who know Mr. Wolfe) is to say it re-
sembles the man; like his sermons, it
Is extremely outspoken. 1t is devoted
to the cause'of christianity and in some
OF its utterances discloses the fond
ness Of the author for striking at sati n
wherever Ae shows himself. The pri-
mary object Of the publication is to
awaken an interest in the Orphans
Home which the editor and his family
have established at this place, work
which we all know is commendable.
The paper is a four column folio, neatly
gotten up in Nr. wolfe's own Office
and will be issued monthly; terms 20
cents year. Several extracts likely
TO be OF interest because Of their being
local, will be found in this paper.

lJOhn 5iiOs MT. WOlfe's Paper
One Of tho principal reasons entertained by
every respectable citizen OF the Indian Terri.
tory, In favor Of the allotment Of lands in sever
atty, IS that tho people large are tho victims or
prey Of as base ring Of political thieves as cur.
sed New York during the Tweed regime.
Not long ago one Of our notorious Indian sena.
tors made th' remark that no was going TO got
money, no matter what he had to do in order 70
obtain II. He stands at the head OF his party,
and Is keen, cunning, eonscienceless creature.
He stands as the representative Of class who
arc opposed TO allotment, because they arc
growing iich at tho expense Of their poor fellow
brethren, the common Indian. Nearly All the
good lands Of the various nations have been COB
bied up and IL Is said to be IN fact that some OF
these eminent ~ Indian legislators own from
twenty TO thirty or forty farms cuIIod ont Of
the richest sections Of tho Territory. OF course
allotment would not bo tho thing for thom. for
ike the Tweed Of old they would have 70 die
gorge some Of their surplus wealth. One Of tho
biggest lies ever porpetuated is that the lands
here are held In common. on the contrary the
monopoly systom IS the prevailing one In our
country and the poorer and more ignorant In.
dian citizen Is kopt In the dark a. touching the
true state Of affairs by tho political dema-
gogues who haVal'y check and trick cry pushed

seats IN the iaw-mrIsing synagoghop Of our land.

Is IL not about time that all honest citizens
move heaven and earth TO obtain better state

weekly review Of trade says: 'While the
crop reports continue remarkably favora-
bic, the volume of business at present trans
acted is not as large as it has been In
other years at this time. This is in part be-
cause exceptionally hot weather at many
points had induced something like mid
summer dullness. but a more important
cause undoubtedly is that trade in many
branches has been waiting for certainty in
improvement and definite orders before
undertaking new risks. There is also some
hesitation owing to recent failures, partic-
ularly in Philadelphia.
CREDIT CAUTIOUS.
"Credits have been more cautiously given
in the wooden and boot and shoe trades, and
this has lessened the volume of transactions.
Hence it is encouraging to find that there is
actual Improvement in the demand for
consumption in several Of the more i'm
portant trades, and that manufacturers
already begin to feel the effects. Crop pros
poets have improved during the past
week, particularly in the southern
and Enorth western regions, where there has
been lack of rain, and there is now scarcely
a single commercial center from which the
crop reports are not highly favorable.
Business is improved at Louisville, decidedly
at Montgomery and slightly at New Orleans
Trade is small at Memphis, but the crop
prospects are good, dull at Nashville, better
than usual for the season at Atlanta and
much better than last year at Jacksonville
COLLECTIONS FAIRLY GOOD.
Reports from all quarters indicate little
complaint as to collections. Regarding
money they show almost everywhere an
ample supply for legitimate and safe bust
ness, but it is frequently mentioned that
there is no supply for speculation, and at
st. Louis the market is sitter at and s per
cent. at Kansas City at s to 10, and Detroit
strong at z. rather stringent at Cleveland,
tight at Little Rock and Atlanta, close at
Nashville, and in good demand with
firm rates at New Orleans. From
all other points the reports indicate
comparative ease. 1t is another hopeful
Indications that the demand for man
ufactured iron and street improves. For
structural iron there is rush Of orders
because of the collapse of the building
strikes, and makers of sheet iron are some
what pushed though bar iron is only fairly
active, but plates are in good demand.
THE wool market at New York shows
improvement and a large demand by man
ufaoturers."

CAN TALK WITH Monkeys.
A Man Who is Believed to Have Mas
tered Simian Lingo.

A Man Who is Believed to Have Mas
tered Simian Lingo.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
A mysterious individual haunts Wood
wards Gardens to whom is attributed the
gift of conversing with monkeys in their
own language. He is little old man who
has seen about three score years and ten,
butas he is always alone and speaks to no one
very little is known about him. For nearly
a year past the old gentleman has daily Wis
tied that former popular resort, deposits
the entrance fee and as quickly as his fee
| bic strength will allow and with eagerness
depicted on scanned and weather-beaten
countenance, proceeds at once to the mon
key cage.
The monkeys recognize him and set up
chattering and bowling that would CRATE on
| sensitive persons nerves, but the old
man does not mind il a bit. He enjoys it
and beams on the quadrumana that make
every effort to reach him through the iron
bars, with an expression that would lead
QUE to think his soul was wrapped up in
them.
Finally the noise subsidies and the old
man gazes into dozen conical expectant
| faces pressed against the bars, with "A pairs
of bright eyes looking at him, and utters a
few cultural sounds that astonish and
please tine monkeys. He perfectly initiates
| the sounds of most of them, and all arrange
| themselves in semicircle and with great
seriousness listen to all that he has to say.
Sometimes his tone is serious, when the
monkeys put on a very abject expression
and look as sorrowful as a monkey can.
Then again when the tones are different,
the monkeys will dance about with every
evidence Of delight and all begin to jabber
at once, until the old man points his finger
at one Of the largest All remain silent
while he seemingly carries on a converse
ton with ono of the older ones, Initiating
all the grimaces and actions of a monkey as
we'll as any human being could.
Sometimes the conversation lasts an hour
or more, when the little man bids his
friends adieu until the morrow.
1t is said by some that the little man was
once a sea captain, whose crew were muir
dered by the natives on the coast of Brazil,
and he made his escape to the forests OF the
interior with no companions but the mon
keys for many months. 1t is supposed that
he obtained some knowledge of their
method of communication during the
months of his enforced residence in the
wilderness that enables him TO engage the
atsentihn of the monkeys at Woodwards
Gardens.
When accosted the old man will not reply
and his mysterious behavior is source of
much comment

AS FROM THE DEAD.
Romantic Return and Rejection OF a
Husband After 81 Years.

Romantic Return and Rejection Of a
Husband After 81 Years.
From the New York World.
SHAMoKIN, PA, June 15.-Mrs. William
Madden opened her door last evening In
response to a summons and was greeted by
tall man, evidently about 70 years old.
docs Mrs. William Cameron live herer'
he asked
mo" was the reply.
Looking keenly into her face the stranger
said:
MARY, don't you know met am Charles
your husband, and humbly ask forgive
ness"
The woman started and, closing the door
in the mans face, sank swooning to the
floor.
States senator, lived in Pottsville, Pa, in
1S4S. and was a well-known building con-
tractor. In that year he married Miss Mary
Markle, handsome young brunette. For
few years the two lived happily together,
when Cameron began to drink heavily and
ill-treat his wife. In the spring of 1860 he
received contract in Richmond. Va, and
collecting all the money he could lay hands
upon he left his wife and children and
started for the south. The two ensuing
months he sent S35 and three letters home.
Then all communication ceased, and the
family waited long and anxiously for a
message.
A year later it was reported that while
garapling he had been stabbed and killed.
Mrs. Cameron about seven years afterwards
married a young railroad man named
William Madden, with whom she lived three
years, when he was killed on the railroad
near Shamokin, to which place Mrs. Madden
moved her family and where she has resided
ever since.
Charles Cameron all this time had been q
wanderer in the south. While the war
lasted he could not get through the con-
federate lines. Thinking his wife would be
happier without him he still remained
away after the war was over, but at la st
the love of his earlier years overpowered
him, and he sought his wife. When she
closed the door in his face he sought the
home of a married son in this place. and
upon being recognized was harbored for
the night. His wife declares she will never
live with him again.

DUTIES ON HAT TRIMMINGS.
A Verdict Which is Apt to Cost the
Government S3O,oOO,OoO.

A Verdict Which Is Apt 70 Cost the
Government S3o,ooo,ooo.
PHILADELPHIA, June 19-The jury in
the suit Of Meyer & Dickinson VS.. the gov
eminent, to recover the excess Of duties
levied on materials used as hat trimmings
this morning returned verdict for 1852 40
for the plaintiffs. The government will ap-
peal from the verdict To the supreme court.
By the verdict of the jury in this case the
government is made liza BILE for from $50 ,000,-
600 to TO $50 ,000, 900 that it has collected in
duties from importers of millinery mate
rails in various parts of the country. The
salt of Meyer & Dickinson was a test suit,
and was intended to test the right Of the
government to collect duties on the goods
in dispute. Others pending suits will be
affected by the verdict, and that is where
the large amount and great interest taken
by the importers comes In. The importers
claim the goods in question to be hat TRIM
mings, and to be dutiable at 20 per cent.
ad valorem under theiclause of the act of
March 8, 1883, which provides for hats, ETC.,
materials, braids, plaids, laces, trimmings,
willow shells and squares used for making
ornamental hats, bonnets and goods COM
posed Of straw, chip grass, palm leaf, will
low, hair, wha eb0ne or any other sub
stance or material not specially
enumerated or provided for. The govern
menG cldllns bndt Lney are uuLlhDle dL OU per
cent. ad valorem, under the clause Of all
goods, wares and manufactures Of which
silk is the component material of chief
value. The question arose By reason Of the
omission on March 8, 1888, OF the word veg
etable" from the hat material clause in the
former act, and was first brought before
the court in this jurisdiction on April 6,
1886, in the case of Langfield VS.. Hartranft,
in which cotton back ribbons were the arti-
Giles before the court. 1t was decided
by Judge McKinnon that II the jury
believed that the chief use to hich
ribbons were put was for trimming hats,
bonnets and hoods, then it was subject to
20 per cent. duty. The jury found in favor
of the plaintiff and Judge McKennan's
ruling was affirmed by the supreme court,
and under this decision s6,000,000 were re-
funded to the plaintiffs Afterward in the
New York Jurisdiction a similar question
was decided in the case Of Edelhoff VS.. COL
lector, in which the articles imported were
used as hat bands, aud in that case also the
decision was in favor Of the importer, as its
chief use was for trimming hats, and the
decision was affirmed by the supreme
