for a worthy representation of the
Island of Cuba at the Columbian exposi-

The IsabelIas win Not Take Part

CHICAGO, March 9. - Fifty suits
against delinquent stockholders, en-
bracking those holding from five to one
hundred shares, were filed in various
courts Friday.
The Queen Isabella association, which
intended to erect a pavilion on the
worlds fair ground for the use of the
women of the world, has withdrawn its
application for space. There has been
considerable friction between the asso-
citation and the woman's board of
managers of the worlds fair, and as the
application of the Isabella association
was referred to the woman's board, the
Isabellas decided not to take the chances
of a rejection of it,
The Isabella association fixed fee of
81 for membership and has collected
about 81 600, which, it is understood,
will be returned to those who paid the
money.

INDIANS FOR THE wild WEST. :"
Ruffalo Bill Gets Permission to Recruit
His Show From the Hostile sioux.

RuffalO Bill Gets Permission to Recruit {
His Show From the Hostile Sioux.
WASHINGTON, March 8. 9.-Buffalo Bill
has succeeded in getting permission
from Secretary Noble to take 100 Sioux
Indians to Europe with him for show
purposes. Most of these will be Indians
who have been on the road before, and
the party Will be recruited from among
the late hostiles Commissioner Morgan
has been bitterly opposed to allowing
Indians to leave the reservation for this
purpose. He ordered the various man
ayers employing them to return their
charges, and 1t was announced officially
that such contracts would not be re-
newed.
Notwithstanding the fact that Secre-
tary Noble in August, 1880, had APP
proved the commissioners order about
refusing Indians to show people, the
case was carried TO him on appeal, with
letter from Secretary Blaine, who had
visited the show in Europe. Mr.. Blaine
expressed the opinion that travel was
good for the Indians, and he could not
believe that influence of the show was
as demoralizing as the life on the reser-
walton. He thought Buffalo Bill and
others who would guarantee the Indians
good treatment should be allowed to
employ them.
Secretary Noble read this letter and
wrote across it Approved" The com
missioner was then directed to issue the
necessary permit. A strong point in
favor of this policy is the fact that of
450 Indians who have been engaged in
the show business at various times not
one joined the hostiles during the recent
outbreak. The people out west will be
glad to hear of the secretary's decision,
and would no doubt be pleased if all the
uncivilized Indians could be taken away
from their immediate neighborhoods.

THE GOVERNMENT HORSE BOOK

DutiOn Tor some Time.
WASHINGTON, March o. Since the
passage of the joint resolution providing
for the publication of $4,000 copies of
the treatise on diseases of the horse, pre-
pared by scientists Of the bureau of an
imal industry for distribution by con-
gress, members have received innumer-
able requests for copies of this valuable
work. The resolution as introduced in
the house called for the publication of
100000 copies of the Horse Book" but
the senate cut this number down just
one e-half.
While limited number have already
been printed for the use of the agricu1-
tural department, the edition designed
for distribution by congress has not yet
been printed. 1t is expected that the
number provided for by the joint reso-
luton will be printed during the sum
mer, and will therefore not be available
for general distribution until some time
next fall. The farmers and stockmen
who are applying to their congressman
for copies of this book may as well save
their stationary and postage stamps, as
no copies are available at present.

ARCHBISHOP WILLIAMS.
He is interviewed About His Rumored
Promotion.


BosToN, March 8. 9.-Archbishop Will
Jams was seen in regard to cable re-
port from Rome saying that the an
nounceinent of the archbishop's promo
ton was untrue, and that he had writ
ten to the pope requesting that the Office
should not lie bestowed upon him.
The archbisho psaid that the first part
of the report vas true. He had received
no intimation that his holiness, the pope,
had any such intention regarding his
elevation, except from press reports.
Regarding the succeeding paragraph the
archbishop was very decisive in his de-
nial of its truth, saying: Il have never
written a word to Rome on this subject,
and / am at loss to understand how
a rumor of this kind could have origin
ated."

A MASSACHUSETTS MAN.

=, It's good many years since | have seen
speaker Barrett of Massachusetts,. When
saw him last he was merry boy at college,
with laughing blue eyes and pink and
white complexion that a girl would be
proud of. Now he's a bearded man, and
the idol of the young republicans Of Mas
Sachusetts, who are pretty likely to nomi-
nate him for governor this fall, but l never
get quite used to his grave and bearded
aspect in the newspaper pictures.
In school Barrett gave great promise OF
tuture distinction. He was splendid stu
ueht, without being in the least a prig or a
oookworm, liked innocent fun as well as the
next one and had laugh as merry as bob
oilnk's. But what most impressed one IN
; nim was his inordinate fondness for pol
Nlcs. He would in those days work as hard
and as skillfully to elect his candidate to
tne presidency Of a college debating So
clety as he would now to impress his ideas
upon big state. The youth was father OF
I. man.
w When Barrett left Dartmouth College in
iooO he took short cut to politics through
journalism. He went to Washington as
correspondent for the Boston Advertiser,
gained great credit for political acumen.

SHE roRGoT $500.

knowSa wo an who was very much g.
tonished recently at receiving a notification
from a savings bank to the effect that there
was upon it's books the neat little sum Of
$4,000 to her credit, which was likely to be
outlawed if she didn't step up and claim it
pretty soon. She was utterly astounded
and hadn't the remotesJ recollection of put
ting any money in the bank, but the books
showed that she must have deposited $500
and forgotten all about it. The rest was in
terest, which had accumulated for twenty
years.
Very unusual, you thinks Not bit of it.
A savings bank man told me, when l was
speaking TO him about this case, that large
part Of the banks profits came from depos-
its abandoned or forgotten by the deposit
tors, though it is not usual for so large a
sum as $500 to be forgotten. Such bank
as the Dry Dock in the Bowery, which is
largely patronized by sailors, of course
profits most by this carelessness, as the de-
positors often drift to other ports and for
get all about their savings in New York be-
fore they get back, if they ever do.

to keep the society out Of the newspapers as
much as possible"
OF course didn't go at this, but cross
questioned the man little. When l finally
reached the Office with such small scraps of
information as had extorted, apologized
for my scanty budget by saying that the
president didn't seem to want anything
printed.

me letter. 1t was an offer from the very

hind me saying: "And there isn't an Ameri-

spoken an old friend, who at once intro
duced US. My new acquaintance proved to
be A. B. Humphreys, whom everybody
knows now as the secretary Of League of
Republican Clubs, and President Clark
sons right-hand man. Mr. Humphreys is

with pleasant, open countenance, and a
heap OF energy, which he will need, every
bit Of it, If he is to work with James S.

Mr.. Humphreys is one of those men, of
whom there are few in each party, who

besides an organization intent on driving
the other fellows out of the clover patch

with a will when he gets back from what is
