How to Decorate.

Color decoration cannot be said to serve
any other useful purpose than q satisfaction
to the eye, yet it may bring out many gooo
points of construction and offset many
defects and that without displaying itself.
Decoration cannot be arbitrary, as each can
follow his own taste, but it appears TO be
reasonable to color a celliug blue or gray, a
floor dark, and the side wall to represent An
atmosphere Of color lighter than the more
solid wood work, because We are tauRht Dy
nature to follow such a course, for light
comes from the blue or gray sky, the RrounS
is dark and the broad spaces are filled with
air. 1t ia also reasonable to make the hall
color darker, because rooms opening from
them appear lighter. Besides the hall IL
narrow and by such a course it looks wider,
for dark and red things come nearer, light
and blush colors appear further away.
A somewhat dark wall color gives a coy
room, if there is light enough. The size Of
room and the direction of the lights should
be the chief factors in making selection of
colors for decoration.
The north light is said to be whitish to
blush; the south light has the yellow and
purple of evening tones and the glare OF
MONDAY, the east and west lights have the
yellow and purple but for a little while, the
morning glow being followed by the bright
dispersed light of the day. the evening gold
and purple by the gray twilight.
In regard to color, it may be we'll to bear in
mind that lighter and darker shades in
crease in difference as they are brought to-
gether; another popularity of shade is that
differences become greater when seen from
a little distance; it is, therefore, never safe
to trust the contrast which they present
when close to the eye.
Colors and shades, therefore, which arr
to 20 together, should always be passed
upon after examination from the distance
at which they would be usually seen. I'm
less there is some reason for making the
differences great. the darker shade OF
holdings, ETC., should be only slightly
darker than the color of the broader spaces.
The lines which represent the frame or
construction of a house, are naturally made
heavier, because they are supposed to be of
stronger material, the darker shade brings
them out prominently, while 2 lighter
shade would, SO to speak, carry them into
the darker mass of the broader spaces.
But these lines should not be SO dark as
to entirely separate them from the building
by bringing them much under notice. A
prime rule of all decoration is: Never de-
ssroy the unity of a piece of constitution.
1t has been observed that it is not of inn
p%ottance as to how much we lave to do
but rather how it is to be done, and as the
best work is usually accomplished by those
who are we'll acquainted with the theoreti-
cal principles which underiie the practical
functions of their profession or business
O.. j. Holmes has made this business a life
study and offers his services to any one who
is contemplating decorating.

INDIANS AND WHISKY,
C%heyennes Who Say Hurley Sold
Them a Bottle of
Liquor.
Private Morris, OF Fort KeoRh
Makes Il Plea Of Former
AcquittaI.
The Jury In the Hainple Illegal Voting
Case Fail to Agree and Arc
Discharged.

Three Bears, Jules Seminole and Wooden
States circuit court yesterday against John
Hurley for selling whisky to Indians near
Miles City about a month ago. All three
of the Indians are Cheyennes in the employ
of the government, Wooden Leg having
been enlisted by General Miles. Their tes-
timony was very direct that Hurley met
them at a railroad water tank near Miles
City and bought a bottle of whisky which
he sold to Three Bears for $1.5O. The
transaction took place about eight O'Clock
in the evening, and they were able to iden-
tify Hurley, because his right
hand was missing. Three Bears immedi.
ately arrested Hurley, when he handed
the bottle over and took him to the sheriff
at Miles City. Wooden Leg knew the con.
tents of the bottle was whisky, because he
took a drink of it. Judge +. p. Sterling,
who defended Hurley said it was quite evil
dent that there existed a combination in
Custer county headed by Captain Jack
Crawford. a government scout, and the In
dian police, to lay traps for just such peo-
pie who did not know that these Indians were
working for the government. Judge Sterl.
ing said it appeared from the testimony Of
Three Bears that rewards would be paid in
every case where a defendent is ''sent over
the road" to the penitentiary at Dee1
Lodge; and that a purse had been made nc
by certain people in the Yellowstone
country to pay the rewards
The defendant testified that he
did not sell the whiskey and said one of his
companions answered to the description the
Indians gave of the man who produced the
bottle. Hurley who is about Is years of age
said he was on his way to Michigan witt
two men. In answer to a question from the
government attorney if they were not
tramping it, he replied that probably most
people would apply that term to it. The at
torneys submitted the case to the jury with
out argument.
Another whiskey selling case is pending
in the same court against Private Morris, q
soldier at Fort Keogh. A plea of not guilty
had been entered to the indictment which
was withdrawn Yesterday and a plea OF
former acquittal made. It is claimed by
Morris counsel that the defendant was tried
before the district court at Miles City som
time ago on the same charge and was &C.
quilted.
At a late hour the jury were still out.

Bonded the Puritan.

j. X. Pardee, of Phillipsburg, is a visitor
in the city. lie has just secured a bond on
the Puritan, and some adjoining claims
near Phillpsburg, and brought some of the
ore over with him which is displayed at the
Cosmopolitan. The Puriton Is located east
of the Trout. is Il granite formation, and
for the amount of development makes an
excellent showing. There is a shaft on it
down 100 feet, and a short tunnel. The
water proved to be too much for the owners
to handle, and for this reason they bouded
the property to Mr.. Pardee, who will form
a company and proceed with ample capital
to develop it. Three cars of ore have been
taken out of the Puritan above the 100-foot
level and shipped. First-class ore returns
nearly 200 ounces in silver and 81 per cent.
in lead, while the second-class goes about
ninety-five ounces.
Mr.. Pardee says that the Elizabeth is
looking first rate. while East Granite is
getting better and better. He recently
made a visit, in company with President
Hale, to the Iron Mountain, and is more
than pleased with the prospects of that
valuable property.

NO ROOM FOR THE REBEL FLAG.

In an Albany, n. Y, interview, under
date of the 25th, Gen. Palmer, Com
mander-in-C Chief of the G. A. r., says:
II have not as yet issued an order for
bidding the posts of the G. A. r., to
march in professions with organizations
therein carrying the rebel flag. After
careful consideration and meditation
concerning the matter which has
aroused interest in many posts of the G.
A. R., i have decided not to issue any
order to that effect as yet, but l will do
so Immediately after the coming cleo
ton. If l issued the order now parties
would claim that it was a campaign
issue, and the order was not issued for
that purpose. There are Democratic
members of the e.. A. r., who are just
as much incensed over the matter as Re.
publican members, and | think it a
shame that any member of the G. A. r.,
would parade under that rebel flag
which we gave four of the best years of
our lives to wipe out of existence, and
which we did.
"What we desire is to imprint upon
the minds of the rising generation the
fact that the only flag is the stars and
stripes, and that no other flags should
be recognized whatever. When the war
was ended all that we did was to send
them back to their homes, saying to
them, IF you are loyal to the stars and
stripes there will be fraternity among
u.s. They seemed to be loyal, and we
have consented to fraternity.
eve do not object to their erecting
monuments to their brave generals or
men, for heroes are heroes, and nothing
else can be made out of them. They fell
fighting for lost cause which they
helped to sustain, but failed. We also
do not object to their building hospitals
for their wounded, crippled and sick,
for they deserve all the care they can
get. But we do object to have the rebel
flag of the Confederacy flying in a
country which has fought against and
defeated it, and more so for the Grand
Army, who fought so nobly to pull it
down, to parade under it.
"Why, it is similar to, if not as bad,
as band of anarchists parading the
streets with a red flag flying.

"Webb' telegraphs from Washington
that Secretary Proctor is very busy just
now making his preparations for de-
parture from the Cabinet. He sees a
great many people who have final favors
to ask, and he utilities his spare time in
making notes on his annual report,
which will be a rather important docu-
ment. This work is progressing salts
factorily, and 1T is expected that it will
contain good deal of useful and inter
esting information. He further says:
"The Secretary will probably not retire
from the War Department much before
the 1st of December. The resignation of
Senator Edmunds, which has caused the
necessity of new Cabinet officer, does
not take effect until November 1st, and
there is no necessity for the existence of
another Senator from Vermont before
Congress meets"
