The Name of Sitting Bull,

Sitting Bulls name in his own Ian guage-that of the Uncapapas-was "Tatanka-e-o-Tocha," which means lit orally ''The Bull Sitting Down." Ithas been the general impression that he re- ceived the name at his birth, but such appears to have not been the case. It is said that early in life, while but a lad in years in fact, he killed a half-grown buffalo. He dragged the carcass many weary miles to within a short distance of his fathers tepee, when he sank to his knees exhausted, the head and fore legs of his prey dangling over his shoul- ders. Hence the name Sitting Bull, given, as all Indian names are, on the spur of the moment and with some noteworthy occurrence as basis. The determination which actuated him in this instance, characterized him through life.-Sioux Falls Press.

The Heavy Villain Saluted With a Shower

 We were playing in a small town back in the seventies" said theatrical man, ''when our leading heavy man had rather a tough experience. All the miners were in the theater. We'll, the heavy man had been prosecuting poor maiden through two acts In the third act he came to the powerful scene of the play. At last he said: I have you in my power and nothing on earth can save you I, who was the slave, am now the master So saying, he advanced to- ward his trembling victim.
 '' Mercy! she moaned.
 'Mercy?' he retorted. You had no mercy for me, and I will have none for you.'
 heard from the gallery, You blamed varmint, I'll settle with your There was the crack of pistol and a bullet whizzed near the heavy man. Plug the son of a gun, boys,' continued the voice, and shower of bullets sa1uted the stage villain. He didn't stop lorg.
 ''1n the wing he met the stage mana ger, who was white with anger.
 You have broken up the scene,' he said.
 Well?'
 "'Go back to the stage, sir, and wait for your exit
 "'I guess not
 "'I tell you won't have the man in my company who is so easily discon- certed. Go on with the scene, or you leave the company tomorrow
 That was serious. To be stranded in that forsaken town was calculated to make the heavy man apprehensive.
 ":I'll go back, he said.
 ''He tore off his wig just before going on, and stepping down to the footlights with an injured expression of counte- nance he said:
 "'Ladies and gentlemen (there were no la ies there, but that didn't matter), with your kind permission I will resume the scene. Before doing so, however, want to call your attention to the fact that the young lady and myself are merely acting parts. In reality, we are the best of friends. I bear no i'll will , for your display of heroic chivalry. trust, however, that you will curb your generous sentiments, for if you should hit me the play will be interrupted.

A GRAND CONTEST.
Base Ball Game for the Sake of


A Base Ball Game for the Sake OF
Charity.
At the Howard avenue grounds at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon the locomotive
| engineers played game of base ball with
| the firemen for the benefit of disabled
| brethren. The large crowd present were
highly entertained and amused by the en-
final score was 40 to 81 in favor of the en-
gineers. Although the duties of an en-
gineer hardly tend to make man agile
and over lively, the victors chased and
threw the leather sphere in fashion that
made the eyes of professionals twinkle
| with interest. Several of the engineers
were gifted with considerable EN- bon pont,
| which, strange to say, came in very handy,
| as it made capital mitten to catch the
| ball with.
The fremen were more muscular but
they could not WELD the bat as well as the
engineers. When they went to the bat
thew struck an attitude similar to one they
assume when handling the hose pipe. The
coaching was one of the striking features
of the game. Some of the expressions
used were s'Hey! down breaks" to a man
who was running over first base. 'Open
up your throttle" was yelled to another
engineer when he was trying to steal
second.
Many other similar expressions CONG
monty found in the vernacular of the craft
were used by the contestants in the strife.
The umpire of course came in for his share
of the circus, but he did not care about
the abuse as he was Prohibitionist.
The game afforded as much amusement
to the audience as frst-class minstrel
show, and the majority of the spectators
went home with large sized side ache.

Man Whom the Police Have Been
After for Some Time.
It will be remembered that at the time
Barnum's circus was here a fakir who
was travelling with the circus was taken
by George Taylor and a woman claiming
to be his wife to their room on State
street. He had few drinks and was
found on the floor shortly afterwards by
an officer who came to arrest Taylor on a
warrant for breach Of the peace.
The fakir could not be reused and when
ne finally came to he said that he had
been drugged. All Of his valuables were
gone, but he would make no complaint.
Yesterday Taylor was captured and is
now awaiting trial for the breach of
peace. 1t is very doubtful if the fakir
can be found so as to press the charge of
theft

They Have Bought the Property
The Road W1thdraWs Condemna-
ton Proceedings.
The Consolidated road has Withdrawn it's
condemnation proceedings to acquire the
property owned by William g, Stewart of
Green's Farms, that gentleman having ar
rived at a satisfactory settlement with the
company. The Bridgeport Farmer says:
'tMr. Stewards large white residence and
the adjacent grounds are situated on the
north side of the track, just opposite the
property of Austin Jennings. The rail
road wanted slice off his territory, reach
ing to within few feet of Mr.. Stewards
house. Mr.. Stewart asked for heavy dam
ages, but the railroad refused to pay his
price and brought condemnation proceed
ings. It is understood that the matter was
settled by the railroad company paying
Mr.. Stewart a good round sum for the
| land.
Green's Farms is now the central point
of activity in the four-tracking operations,
and large force of men are at work there
pushing the improvements along rapidly.

stop to the work, but now everything is
progressing smoothly. The new depot at
Southport is rapidly approaching compile,
ton. It will have covered platform 200
feet long. Four-tracking has also been re-
sumed in Southport at the northern end OF
the town.
The foundation for another depot in
Fairfield is completed. The structure will
be located on the north side of the tracks
about 100 feet west of the present depot.
Like the new Southport depot, it will be
used for southbound trains only. Work
on the superstructure will commence soon.
It is reported that the Consolidated
road will shortly reduce the fare from this
city to Stratford, selling one hundred
tickets for three dollars. This would re-
duce the fare from ten cents to only three
cents, which is less than that charged by
the East End Railway company.
During the brief period that the horse
car line has been running to the old town,
the receipts of the railroad company for
passenger traffic between this city and
Stratford have fallen off over seventy-ive
per cent. Only few old commuters now
patronize the railroad, everyone else pre-
ferring the horse cars. Should the report
ed reduction in fare take place it will
probably bring about an interesting war
fare in cut rates between the railroad and
horse car companies.
