under the brick wharf. Beckwith
had been in the habit of going on
periodical sprees and two weeks ago

SEC. PROCTOR'S VISIT.
THE SECRETARY OF WAR ON A
STRICTLY BUSINESS TOUR.
He Inspects the POst-No Politics
In the Army-The Party
Leaves Tonight


All was on tiptoe this morning at Fort
Houston awaiting the arrival OF Secreta-
ry of War Proctor and party. The west
bound morning train was belated and the
distinguished visitors arrived at s:15 in
stead of a. m. The party, which came
IN on special Wagner car, consisted of
Secretary of War Proctor, Capt. Wood
ruff, military secretary to the secretary
of war, QuartermaSter General Batchel-
der. U. s. A., Gen. Williams. u. S. A., and
Mai. H. c. Hill. Y. $. A. They were driv-
en- TO the residence of Gen. STANLEY where
they awaited the formation of the line
of troops for the dress parade, which took
place in the midst Of drilling rain, the
visitors viewing the affair in closed am
balances. At ten o'clock, Major Bur
bank, Bird artillery, fired salute of sew
enteen guns. The balance of the morning
was occupied by drive over the grounds,
inspecting the entire reservation.
A LIGHT reporter found Secretary
Proctor at the residence of General
Stanley, shortly after noon, and was ac-
corded pleasant chat with the
gentleman, who proved far more COM
municative to the reporters than General
Miles, who had just preceded him. I'VE
have come here to inspect the post, the
object of our tour being general in
spectiOn of all the posts of the
Z
response to a query. I'VE arrived at
O'clock this morning and reviewed the
troops in this drilling weather. We go
out at II o'clock tonight for Spotford
Junction To inspect Fort Clark, then we
go to Ell PaSo and continue west, making
the rounds of all the posts in that section.
Yes, met the legislative party that
arrived to confer with me. The matter
concerning the one post of Brownsville is
what they had reference to. The matter
is entirely in the hands of Gen. Stanley
and it remains for him to make all nee
eSSary recommendations in the case.
Now, the navy" he replied. in
| reply to some questions on that point,
The navy. that is something entirely
| out of my department and | know OF
nothing to say on the subject except that
it is being improved and strengthened
right straight along"
When asked as to the political situation
Of today, Secretary Proctor shrugged his
shoulder with good natured smile and
| replied well now, we are
having nothing to do with
| business tour and you will have to excuse
| me from talking politics. You know
there are no politics in the army. Oh
| course, we all stand one way or the other
| but | do not care to express myself
| politically, on this trip"
81 am well pleased with the reception
| | have met with, and am glad that the
| day has turned out as beautiful as it has
that we may be able 10 get view Of
your city.

Women as Fur Buyers.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Very few women have any practical
knowledge of furs. The buying and
selling of skins has been principally
the business of shrewd, sharp men,
but in one of Brooklyn's stores there
is q youg woman who can tell you at
once the quality of the skin in ques-
ton. She has much practical
knowledge of the goods she han.
dies, and 1t very often happen that
customers ask for her, feeling great
confidence in what she tells them.
This girl not only took the prize for
having sold the largest number of
garments through the holidays, but
has also just taken very large order,
perhaps the largest single order ever
taken in taken In Brooklyn, or posi-
by New York Moreover the garment
is for Brooklyn woman, to be of
cloth lined with silver tipped Rus
sian sable, the lings alone to cost
s14S0. It is to be worn next winter.
II is q we'll known fact that the price
of fur is continually on the increase.
A buyer of skins says that he has
just paid SIS, 900 for the same number
of skins which last year at this time
only cost the firm $4,000. At this rate
furs will soon be a great luxury.
They are not 30 extravaganza,
however, as it at first appears,
for often Innings or sets, well
kept, are handed down as heir
looms through several generations.
A woman who took her grand
mothers two sets OF mink-tippet,
muff and cuffs-and made them into
q fancy floor mat. was inclined to re-
greet the proceeding when told the
first of the winter mink was TO be
fashionable, but mink as q wearing
fur has not been a..success, The furs
look quite as well made into a hearth
rug as they would have done made
over into q cape.

The Path of Storms.

A method is now on trial at the lnete-
geological Office at Stockholm which
seems likely to throw some light on a
subject which hitherto has been attend
ed with much uncertainty, namely, the
determination of the path taken by
storms. From the telegraphic weather re-
ports tables of the density of the atmos-
phere have been constructed, and other
data have been collected which have
been embodied in special charts.
These charts are found to give much
more reliable clew to the movements
and origin of cyclones than the usual
method of the comparison of isobars and
isotherms alone. The latest investiga-
tions show that storms move in the di-
rection of the warmest and dampest air.
parallel to the lines of equal density
leaving the rarer air to the right hand.

nishes case for surgeons and scientists
to study over. Sunday Adelbert Highly,
a boy, 10 years of age, residing in that
place, was out hunting with rusty old
shotgun. The gun exploded, striking
the boy in the forehead just above the
right eye, crushing the skull. Through
the aid of companion who was with
him the lad was taken homo and DIR. w.
H. Smith was summoned.
At sight of the wound the doctor was
surprised to find the boy alive, but judge
of his amazement when, probing the
wound, he found an old rusty screw that
had been in the stock imbedded fully an
inch and half in the brain. Further
probing brought to light two pieces Of
the boys hat brim and four pieces of the
skull bone, the largest of which was
nearly the size of silver dollar. In the
operation the doctor also found it neces-
sary to remove about half an ounce Of
the brain itself. It is something no
surgical authority has recorded as posi-
BILE. But here it is proved. The injured
boy has been conscious ever since the
accident, and unless blood poisoning sets
in he stands every chance of recovering.

Immensely More Mischief than is Gen.

DR.. King, the eminent medical writer, in a

The great quantity of cathartic pills, etc.,
which are annually swallowed by the people OF
this country has been productive Of immensely
more mischief than is generally suspected.
True the physic unloads the bowels, but in so
doing its action tends to diminish the tone of
the intestines SO that, instead OF removing the
costiveness, it aggravates 1T, leaving the bowels
In more torpid condition.

That was fine passage between the

them; and, as she waited, mastiff, the
playmate of the governors little soma
beast not given to strangers-uncoiled
himself from the rug, where he had been
lying, and came up in that friendly way
which only dogs know how to affect,
with perfect sincerity, and, seeing sus-
pense and pain in the agitated features
of the poor woman, he put his paws
gently upon her knees and began to lick
her hands. The governor finished the
papers, and the petitioner was about to
speak when the grim old soldier said:
sit is not necessary, madam; the dog
has spoken for you," and straightaway
signed the document which was to re-
lease dying man from prison and en-
able him to go to his grave from his own

Eighty Days for Eighty Oaths.

Park Wilson, well known character
about town, was sent to Jail by Justice
Hansman, at Chambersburg, Pa, Dec.
10. for eighty days for swearing eighty
profane oaths. Under the Pennsylvania
"blue laws" act of 1894 the penalty for
profane swearing is sixty cents for
each oath, or in default of payment
thereof one day in Jail for each oath.
Wilson would not pay a fine of $3.50
for the oaths INDUCED in Saturday night,
so he went to Jail for eighty days. A
conviction under the blue laws is very
rare occurrence in Pennsylvania. .-Balti-

The Messiah craze among the Indians

to the queer delusions and beliefs that
have been rife among the different tribes
for the past century. 1t is remembered
now that in 1888 the Sanpoels, a small
tribe in what was then Washington ter
ritory, became greatly agitated over the
teachings of an old chief who professed
to believe that another flood was near at
hand. He said that the Great Spirit had
commanded him to collect tribute and
build an ark that would outride the
waves. His great canoe, 112 by 2SS feet,
is still to be seen in an unfinished condi-
ton near one of the tributaries of the
