An Indian Compaet of Peace.

the hnal pcacemaking between the
Sioux aud the Chippewa Indians was ac-
complished at Mannah, Meeker County,
on December l3, 1857, aud the agree
ment was as follows;
"The Leech Lake chief, Ne.Pa.Q Guam,
gave the pipe of peace TO the Sioux
chief, He-Yung- Maine, who gave the
pipe back to Ne.Pa-Quam.
"Agreed that II any Indian of the
Leech Lake band killed any Sioux, the
head warrior of the Leech Lakers shall
be given up to be hung with the cord
attached to the pipe, and the same
agreement in return on the part of the
Sioux"

ECONOMICAL cnLrny sorr.

Many families of small molus look
upon celery as a luxury. The grccaish
half blanched s.alks OF the cheap bunch
really are not very good eating, aud the
fine, white, large crisp bunch costs too
much for the workingman's everyday
dinuei. But there is an economical way
OF treating the large bunch OF best
celery which makes it cheip. Use the
iiucr portions OF the crisp stalks as a
relish. All the tough portions, and the
root carefully cleaned, are to be cut ine,
covered with cold water aud COOKED
slowly till nearly the whc!c cla be
rubbed through a strainer. Half an
hour before dinner heat this liquid celery
with an equal quantity of any kind OF
meat broth you happen to have in the
house, aud then add one pint of hot
milk thickene1 like a white sauce, with
two tablespoonfuls each of butter and
flour cooked together. Season with salt.
il you have no broth after your soup is
in the tureen stir into il slowly and
smoothly the well beaten yolk of an
egg, aud you will not miss at all the
richness OF the meat. New York Press

THE RAIRAOw 4 pARr or HISTORY.
At the Setting ofthr Sun the Great Colum-
bian Exposition Closed.

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS. CHICA'
GO. oct. 9O.-In harmony with the Worlds
Fair City's sorrow, came the closing OF
the Worlds Columbian Exposition this
day as directed by the United States
Congress. At sunset. 4:iJ o'clock, the col
ors OF all nations which have been fly
ing at half mast since the morning OF
May LIST, lowered together as they were
unfurled within sight Of President Cleye-
land on May LIST Six months. with he
exception Of a day, have passed and the
glory Of the Exposition has been woven
into the history of the Worlds progress
At the word of command from artillery
officers the guns Of a battery facing the
blue waters Of Lake Michigan belched
forth the signal telling the world that
the Worlds Fair was closed at the set
ting OF the sun.
When the sunset hour arrived hundred
men. stationed at the various hagstans
of the nations colors on the departmental
buildings, stood ready TO lower the flags
and bare the poles, which should tell 10
the visitors tomorrow that the Columbian
Exposition was at an end forever. II
was an impressive scene, and thousands
OF visitors who viewed the closing spec
tacle could not refrain from signing and
regrettlng that the Exposition was az an
end. The only music which was heard
outside Of Festival Hall came IN the
lines Thirteenth Band, Of New York
which played in the court Of honor during
the afternoon The programme which
the band rendered was the same which
it was intended TO have given In Music
Hall. Several thousand visitors assem-
bled around the band pavilion while the
band PLAYED the closing selections. AZ
the sunset hour Conductor +. Innes played
on the trombone the Sea Waltz, one Of his
compositions.
The noise Of the cannon was heard
on the lake front and as the flags OF the
vanishing city were being furled, the
New York band waited 20 play the fare
well to the Fair. Conductor lines filled
the gap by playing, "Oh Dear, What Can
the Matter Be-"
The last flag to be pulled down from it's
STAFF was one Of the three flying the
court OF honor from the Administration
building. The hands which pulled it down
were those Of the Worlds Fair newspaper
men, and as Old Glory reached the ground
a great cheer went up I'm the evening air.
While the last flag In the Exposition was
being pulled 20 the ground In the court
of honor. the New York band played the
"Star Spangled Banner" and concluded
with America" A cheer went up from
the thousands assembled within hearing
OF the patriotic strains. and after the
sound OF the bugle from the Administra-
ton building the Worlds Fair became a
part Of history.

xYorHER aURDEROUs CRANK.
y. L. Matthias Fatally shot-Edwin Gould
UnweIcome Visitor.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Frederick l..
Matthias. who was experimenting the con-
structlon Of the new building Of the Pos
tai Telegraph Company at Broadway
and Murray street. was fatally shot IN the
abdomen this afternoon by a murderous
crank. who gave the name Of Thomas
Bradley. Bradley had been lurking around
this building all day, and had been once
asked out Of it by Matthias. He returned
about O'Clock and hid behind a pile Of
bricks. Matthias asked him out again,
and was answered with shot which laid
him out. Police were soon on the spot
but the fellow kept up such lively lire
that they were obliged 10 shoot him be-
fore they could capture him. He was
wounded in his pistol arm, but even then
he fought like a wild cat, and IT took all
the men who could get hold of him TO
subdue him. IL then needed still more
officers to protect the murderer from the
crowd Of angry workmen, who wanted 20
kill him.
Bradley said he was a laborer and
without a home. He rambled In his
sreech, and opinion among the policeman
who came in contact with him is divided
as TO whether he is a lunatic or Is In
fit of delirium tremens.
A Crank visits Mr.. Gould.
Another crank entered the Office Of Ed
win Gould to-day and demanded five
thousand dollars, which amount he said
he had lost during recent strikes on
Kansas railroads He was not violent
or threatening and Gould humored him
until he had an opportunity to telephone
to the nearest station-house. An officer
soon appeared and took the crank away.
He gave his name as Mongolia Andrews,
a telegraph operator.
A dispatch from Kansas City says
Andrews is employed in the Western
Union office i'm that city. and that he
obtained leave Of absence two weeks ago
to visit his old home in West Virginia.
He has n wife and two children In Kan
sas City. Andrews was not popular with
his fellow operators or associates, as he
was too much inclined 10 argue questions
on which he was not too well Informed.
At one time religion was his hobby, and
he was member Of a church at West
port OF late he has been advocating the
object OF the A. F. A. While he was re-
garded as ignorant and eccentric none Of
his associates had thought him dangerous.
