A well dressed man entered the office
of Bangor hotel one cold evening not
long since and told the clerk he was a
stranger in the city, had no money and
asked for place to sleep The clerk
had pity for him, gave him good room
and as the night was cold obtained an
extra blanket or two for the bed The
clerk left the man, who in few mir
utes rung call. The clerk went to ths
room, and the man told him he could
not sleep in the room, as he was accut
toned to have fire in his sleeping
apartments. The clerk was almost
struck dumb, but managed to recover
sufficiently to tell the man he was too
particular for that hotel, that he had bet
ter seek free lodging elsewhere, and so
the hummer was turned out into the cold
world. Bangor (Me.) Commercial

Mr.. Bradley went down from New York
city. where he II, ,l.es brushes, to camp on
some lots he owned at Ocean Grove, then
inst iuaugurated as a Methodist camp meet
ing resort. While there he explored the sur
rounding territory and concluded that the
adjoining 500 acres would make good site
for a model summer resort. Thereupon he
bought the land, cleared off the brush laid
out streets and began to sell lots.
He has been selling lots ever since. and
in every deed made out appears q stipula-
ton that no Intoxicating liquor shall be
sold upon the property conveyed. This
stipulation has made lots of trouble for
Brother Bradley Many of his assigns,
looking with longing eyes and itching fin
gers on TIE alcoholic prosperity of Coney
Island, haYa murmured at the restriction
and sought in various ways to evadc it.
But Brother Bradley was bound to enforce
that clause though it kept him in the
courts continually and brought him no end
of notorety. Incidentally he found the no.
toriety profitable and sold more lots.
But he had other troubles. He tried to
close up all places of business In Asbury
Park on Sunday, and that got in the papers,
Then ysGils al druggist whom he had ar
rested for liquor selling sued him for false
Imprisonment and after 12 years fighting
got verdict for $l2, 500. The papers printed
all about that too. They also lampooned
him about the cut Of the suits that he in
sisted should be worn by bathers on his
beach and incidentally roasted" him
about many other things. But he kept
wight on selling lots.
The most notorious of all Brother Brad,
ley's troubles, however, and one which has
cropped up again this year, has been his
trouble with the colored people who go to
Asbury Park every summer as servants
These people, he claims, monopolized the
best seats in the park and pavilons and
INSTRUCTED the beach and the board walk
to the detriment and disgust of white
guests and sojourners. Finally he put up
notices forbidoing colored people the privi-
leges they had abused and great was the
howl thereat. Indignation meetings were
held, and again the thing got into the pa
pers. But Brother Bradley has not stopped
selling lots.

Pennsylvania ROAD AGENTS.

Oh Missouri road agents that we rather
LOOK Tor occasional outbreaks OF Dick Tur-
pinism In the Big Muddy state. But we are
'nclined to expect more subtle and elegant
methods OF thievery in the cffete east The
American public was therefore disposed to
throw up its hands in astonishment when.
u read OF the mad pranks OF pair of des-
peradoes in western Pennsylvania the other
day, who held up two locomotives and
amused themselves with panic stricken
picnic party.
The exploits Of these Pennsylvania out
laws scarcely deserve to rank with the
feats OF western road agents, for they com
mitted no robbery, although they did not
hesitate at murder. They seemed actuated
by spirit of deviltry and delighted in
making their victims dance to the music of
whistling bullets. The scene OF their op
erations was about seven miles from Pitts
burg on the Pittsburg and Western rail
road
A shifting engine was standing on the
track about half mile from Whitman sta
ton, when the engineer and fireman were
saluted by two pistol shots, and two evil
looking men scrambled out of the bushes.
Without saying word they approached
the engine, discharging their revolvers as
they ran One of the bullets glanced from
the boiler and struck Engineer Rose in the
face, and he fell to the fioor In response
to the circumstances of the fireman the
leader of the two men, who was afterward
found to be "Reddy' Neff, said: 1--WE want
you to haul us to Idlewild Sees'

tied for assistance
The crew from the freight train jumped
from the cars at a point near the shifter in
order to investigate the cause of the trou-
BILE. The fireman was explaining matters
and at the same time assisting the engineer
to rise to his feet. The freight train crew,
consisting Of engineer, fireman, six brake
men and the conductor, stood in a group
listening to the fireman's explanation
when pistol reports were again heard.

Keeping Silver Bright.

Towash silyerware never use soap in the

outside more the appearance of pewter
than silver. When it wants cleaning rub
it with piece Of soft leather and prepared
chalk, the latter made into kind of paste

contain grit. Use silver if it is to be kept

4 HUSBANDS TaIsure TO 4 WIFE.

General b. +. Butler Tells what Wom-
an Did on the March and IN Camp.
No higher tribute to woman Is wife
and mother has ever been paid than Is &c
corded TO Mrs Benjamin r. Butler By her
husband in his memoirs. Writing Of his
career during the civil war, he says:
My wife, with devotion quite unpsraI-
leled. gave me her support by accompany
ing me, at my earnest wish, In every expe-
dition in the war Of the rebellion. and
made me home wherever was stationed
In command
She joined me at Annapolis and accom-
panied me to Fortress Monroe when wac
assigned there in May, 1881. She went
with me on the expedition to Ship island
for the attack upon New Orleans, wherein
was exposed to the greatest peril Of my
life, and only when my ship was hourly
expected to go to pieces and when inn

and was on the first vessel containing
troops that went mp the river after the sur
render Of Forts jackson and st. Philip.
She went ashore with me and lodged AZ
the st. Charles hotel on the night after l
took possession of the city Of New Orleans
When In 1853 was assigned to the COM
mand of the Department Of Virginia and
North Carolina she accompanied me again
to Fortress Monroe. In 1854 she went with
me to the field, and was present with me
during most Of the campaign Of 1874.
Thus had an advantage over most Of
my brother commanding generals In the
department and in the feld. in having an
adviser, faithful and true, clear headed.
conscientious and conservative, whose con-
illusions could always be trusted. In the
mere military movements. although she
took full note, she never interfered by
suggestion, for in regard to them | relied
upon the opinions Of my valued, accom-
pished and efficient staff officers.
In other matters all that she agreed to
was right and for the best, and II there is
anything in my administration Of Affairs
that may be questioned, it is that in which
followed the bent Of my own opinions.
Returning home with me, after retired
to civil and political life, Mrs Butler re-
manned the same good adviser, educating
and guiding her children during their
young lives with such skill and success
that neither of them ever did an act which
caused me serious sorrow or gave me the
least anxiety on their behalf
She made my home and family as happy
as we could be- She took her place in So
ciety when at Washington, and maintained
it with such grace, dignity and loveliness
of character that no one ever said an I'M
kind or disparaging word of her.

The Council Wds a Farce.

Warren Robbins returned from
Lapwai last Friday and reports
that the council called on Novem-
Der | by Col. Lane, the special
agent, for the purpose of giving the
indictments an opportunity to
prove the charges of fraud and
bribery by the commissioners who
negotiated the treaty last winter,
was farce, there being only seven
or eight Indians present, and they
had to be sent for and brought in
by special messenger. In order
that there might be no further
charges in the matter, and desiring
to give the Indians another oppor-
tunity to ventilate their alleged
grievances, Col. Lane has set the
date for another and final council
on November %, which is the last
opportunity the malcontents will
be afforded To delay the opening of
the reservation. In all likelihood
the council of November % will be
as big lizzle as the last one.
With the exception Of the incon-
venience ii puts Il lot of white men
to in running TO and fro attending
these councils and the delay in
closing the treaty the malcontents
are powerless to accomplish any
thing. Their policy seems to be to
wear the white man out, but in a
question of physical endurance the
saddle-tinted brother is not in it.
Col. Robbins will be ON hand again
on November %, and with his
knowledge CT men and affairs on
the reserve he will see that no false
swearing is imposed upon the spe-
cial agent.
