A Story of Edwin Booth That il
Good Enough to be True.

Once during the days of his early
struggles, says Baltimore American,
Booth was transforming" down in
Virginia at a place called Lees Land
ing. The improvised theatre was a
tobacco warehouse, and it was crowd.
ed by planters from miles around.
Booth and his companions had arrang-
ed to take the weekly steamer expect
ed to call late at night, and between
the acts were busy packing up. The
play was "The Merchant of Venice" |"
and they we're just going on for the
trial scene when they heard a whistle
and the manager came running in TO
say the steamer had arrived and
would leave again in ten minutes.
As that was their only chance for a
week of getting away, they were in a
terrible quandary, The narrative
proceeds:
"If we explain matters" said the
manager, "they will think they are
being cheated and we shall have a
free fight. The only thing is for you
fellows to get up some sort of nat
ural.like impromptu ending of the
piece, and ring down the curtain.
Go right ahead, ladies and gentlemen,
and take your cue from Ned here,'
and he hurried away to get the luggage

Serious Danger

Threatens every man, woman or child
living in region Of country where fever

AS means Of fortifying and acclimating
the system 80 as to be able to resist
the malarial poison, Hostetter's Stomach

these are speedily rectified by the Bittere.

aboard. Ned, of course, was Bassanio,
and he resolved to rely on the ignor.
ance Of the Virginians of those days
to pull him through all right. So,
when old George Ruggles, who was
doing Shylock, began to sharpen his
knife on his boot, Booth walked
straight up to him and solemnly said (:
"You are bound to have your pound
of flesh, are your"
"You bet your life" said Ruggles.
"Now' I'll make you one more offer" "
continued Booth. "In addition to
this big bag of ducats, I'll throw in
two kegs of nigger-head terback, a
shotgun and two Of the best coon dogs
in the State"
"I'm blarmed if don't do itp re-

When they got on board of th'
steamer, the captain, who had witness
ed the conclusion of the play, remark
ed:
"Id like to see the whole of tha
play sometime, gentlemen. I'm
blarmed if I thought that fellow Shake

An Excise Case.

The Rev. Samuel G. Smith, of st.
Paul, is noted not only for pulpit
oratory, but for practical works. He
holds, it is said, that one atom of mere
piety. He is ever ready to step out of
the pulpit and take hand in the en-
forcement of the laws. He is himself
keen in the use Of ridicule and as
keenly sensitive to it's shafts when it
is turned upon him. He is, therefore,
ever on the alert to avoid being vic
timized in any way. The following
joke concerning him is going the
rounds:
Some time before w. P. Murray
ceased to be city attorney DR.. Smith
happened in upon him one afternoon,
leading boy of12 years by the hand
"Mr. Murray, l want you to have
-, who keeps saloon down here
on Fourth st., arrested. He gave
this boy drink"
"Well ahem I" was the first char
acteristic utterance of Mr.. Murray,
with winking, twitch or two Of the
head and brush or so of the hand
over the head and face. "What time
were you in that saloon-lad ?" quizz-
ed the attorney.
"Jest KEN out mint ago" replied
the boy modestly.
Hum yes, yes How did you
come to 60 in p
Don't know. Just happened to-"
"Gave you drink, did they'"
"Yaas."
And the boy wiped his nose with
an upward stroke of the palm of his
hand, while DIR. Smith looked on with
an expression Of satisfaction. Mr..
Murray scratched his head minute
and proceeded.
"Ahem F! Well, what did he give
you to drink u
"Glass of water" calmly replied
the boy.
"Why didn't you tell me that ?"
shouted the divine, turning very red
in the face.
"You didn't ask me, sir" returned
the youth, demurely.-St. Paul Pio-

A Case For Free Raw Materials.

About eighteen years ago the duty on
hides was removed, and since that time
our tanning and leather goods indus
tries have had the advantage Of free
raw materials. The result has been TO
vindicate in the completest manner the
truth of the Democratic position in the
present tariff agitation that free raw
materials will not only encourage and
develop our manufactures, but will en-
able them to put their products upon
the markets of the world in successful
competition with their foreign rivals.
From the very time when hides were
upon the free list our leather industries
began to expand, and our exports of
sole leather and manufactures Of leather
have shown steady and gratifying
growth ever since. A late number Of
''Bradstreet's" has the following facts
and figures on the sbject:
"The cost of tanning hides is cheaper
here than in any other country. This
Is due In large measure to the low cost
of materials. We are therefore not only
able to tan all our domestic hides but
the major part Of those produced In
Central and South America, We supply
European countries with about 5000, 900
worth Of leather each month, and our
exports have been increasing rapidly
within the last few years, as may be
seen from the following table:

AT PINE RIDGE.
Frenzied Warriors Want to Die
Killing White Men.
a Night of Observation-Disclosures From
General Miles Torn Up.

A special to the Inter-Ocean from Pine
Ridge dated the 4th, says: Last night
was one of feverish excitement to many
at the Agency. For the first time the
squaw men and half-breeds were alarm
ed and remained up all night fearing
that an attack would be made before
morning. The Agency is too well guard
ed to permit any large force to approach
very close without discovery, but il
would be hard to prevent few daring
individuals from creeping up some Of
the numerous ravines and throwing
hre-arrows into barns and haystacks.
The friendly spies all say that there.
are large number Of warriors
IN the enemy's camp who have worked
themselves up to condition of
frenzy similar to those who committed
suicide at Wounded Knee. They say
they want to die, and are going to die
while killing white men. It is also said
that two bucks escaped alive from the
Wounded Knee fight, who swore that
they will set the Agency on fire and
kill the agent themselves. General
Miles has his troops all around the
enemy, and could throw all in any day and
have tremendous battle, but could not
prevent small bands escaping here and
there, which would have to be followed
up by the soldiers, which would
place the lives of many set
tiers in danger. By holding his
troops until much larger force
can be thrown around the Indians the
trouble can be confined to the reserve.
The end can not be reached without
one or more battles, and bloody ones,
as there are too many of the crazy who
only want to follow the example of
their Big Foot relatives. General Miles
sent out letter yesterday asking for a
hearing. The Indians tore the letter
into fragments and threw them into
the fire, saying. "We want no treaty;
we are here to fight" Last night sew
eral shots were fired by our pickets,
and a couple of arrows were thrown
into the yards. Doctors are constantly
arriving, there being no less than ff-
teen here, with large corps of
assistants. A delegation of friend
lies asks that large party be
sent out at once to aid those ''-No
desire to escape from the hostile camp.
They claim that seven or eight hundred
warriors wish to return; that they
either fled through fright at first, or
were forced to go with the rest TO let
the friendlies go would undoubtedly
precipitate fight and consume several
days of valuable time. No decision in
the matter has been made yet. Sunday
was warm and clear, and the wounded,
who are on their way to the railroad,
will suffer no discomforts. The In
dians in the hospital camp number over
four Thousand men, women and chill
dren, and represent every agency in the
two Dakotas.
