regret that the affair should have OBJ ,
tanned publicity, but confirmed in the |
main the story as narrated above. He |
was not ut the camp when the incident !
happened. but was, of course, fully in
formed rs to the details. He had
ucrc. known the obnoxious person who
had obruded his unwelcome atten-
lions upon his daughter; and she was
equally in the dark as to his identity.
They had reached the conclusion that
he was either a dissolute attache or
hanger-on of the British legation at
Washington, characterless fortune
hunter or crank. They did not re-
gard the man so much in the light of a
fraud as of a crank, who might OF
might not be harmless. His written
and spoken language was that of q
person who might be familiar with the
society of people of distinction, but
his methods were those of either Il
crank or Il scoundrel. The doctor was
at d loss to determine which one of the
classitications applied to him. The
man was beyond any question an Eng
lishman. He had a decided English
prcnuncia ton and accent.
Inquiry at the office OF James Hayes
Saddler, English consul at this point
threw no light upon the question OF

DEBATE on SILVER ENDS IN THE
HOUSE.
TOM REED AND BOURKE COCK
RAN SATURDAYS STARS.
Reed Says the Sherman Law Must Be
Repealed Though 1t Is Not tho
Cause Of the Present Depression
Cochran With the Platform-Vote
Monday.
HOUSE.

Washington, Aug. 26.-The feature of
the closing silver debate in the house
today was the speech of Thomas 3.
Reed, of Maine. \ big audience was
present.
The Sherman law must be repealed,
he said, although the real cause for
the present depression was by no means
that act.
In touching the tariff Mr. Reed III
legged that dahger to the protective
tariff is the foundation for all the
country's trouble.
Williams, of Illinois. and Allan, of
Mississippi, followed Reed.
Bourke Cochran, the great New York
democrat, then began his speech He
admitted that when congress adjourn
ed last March the country was prosper
GUS in every respect while now the
gaunt spectre of starvation was stalk
ing about through the land
He could not agree with Reed that
these periods of depression We're in
Separable from the advancement of
civilization but that each was due to
4 specific cause which might be readily
discovered
The New Yorfl orator stood upon the
democratic platform with both feet and
it was those who differed from him
on silver that were trying to push him
Off
Mr.. Cochran devoted himself to al
historical resume of financial legisla
ton and asserted that there was ne
instance in the history of civilization
where gold and silver ever circulated
side by side at any ratio. 1t was i'm
possible that they should do so and he
defied the gentleman from Missouri
(NIr. Bland) to name an exception.
During the rest of the day and even
| ing several speeches ON the silver issue
were made, Bland and Wilson beins
among the more prominent speakers.
At 11:O5 the house adjourned unit
Monday at noon when the first vote
! will be taken.

A PLAYFUL GOAT.
He Had Learned to Play Hide and
Seek with His Owner.

A mountain goat that | once kept
as the average street arab, and, had
BE lived to maturity and kept on ac-
quiring knowledge, the chances are /
would have had to move out and give
him the ranch, writes a contributor
to Forest and Stream.
He usually followed me on short
excursions into the woods, and general
~ kept right at my heels; but on one
occasion he Jagged behind, and, al
though I called him several times, he
paid no heed.
[ finally walked back to see what
he was interested in, and found him
busy feeding on some moss that grew
ut the roots of fir tree; so left him
and continued my tramp. But after l
had got away a short distance the
thought occurred to me to hide and
see how he would act; so / slipped
into a hollow stump close by the trail
and awaited the result. Presently
heard him coming bounding along the
trail, and after he had passed / stuck
out my head to watch him. When he
got about twenty feet beyond me he
stopped and commenced looking around
and the cOmica1 expression on his face
as he scanned every object that bore
any resemblance to human being
caused me to burst out laughing, when
he turned and saw me. Then he COM
menced to sulk and would not go any
further, so I had to return home.
The next day he followed NE, as u.s.
ual, but in the midst of some thick
brush and down timber I got interest
ed in a bird that / was following up,
and forgot the goat, and when I came
to look for him he was gone. Walking
back to where I last saw him, called,
but no BILLY" came in sight. Then
[ commenced diligent search, and
presently I caught sight Of something
white beneath a brush heap. STOPPING
down. and looking in, / saw the little
brute curled up in a heap, and not
move could / get out of him. Reaching
in I caught him by the leg and pulled
him out, and gave him a good cutting
On both sides Of his head. But he did
not mind it a bit, and seemed to enjoy
he joke immensely, capering about in
his usual manner all the way home,
Is if he would say: you hid from
ne yesterday, and I hid from you to-
lay, and honorS are even"

A GALLANT LIFE.
1t Was Lost When Death Overlook
Lieutenant P. III. Clarke.

Harper's Weekly: Lieutenant Pow
was drowned ten days ago in the Lit
tie Big Horn river, near the fateful
spot where Custer and his command
were massacred in 1876. Lieutenant
Clarke, one of the most gallant and dis
tniguished of the young officers of the
army. was introduced TO the readers
of this paper three years ago by Mr..
Frederic Remington, who was on terms
of intimate friendship with the young
cavalryman. Lieutenant Clarke was
also Known to the readers Of the Week
ly by reason Of the several valuable
articles that he contributed to it on
the German army. He was noted in
tie cavalry as a hard rider, a hard
fighter, and a most Jealous officer. In
the campaign of 1886 against the
Apaches he distinguished himself by
his gallantry, and was awarded with
the medal of honor. Mr.. Remington,
in the article alluded to. thus speaks
of the gallant action which won the
medal for Lieutenant Clarke: He
once pulled q wounded corporal under
cover from Apache bullets at some
little personal risk, since they fired
some fifty shots at him, and replied to
some admiring friends concerning it,
We'll, what else could l dog Of
course it is readily seen that he could
do nothing else, although most other
men would be fertile enough in expedi-
ents to devise a way for not doing
the thing at ALL This was charac-
teristc Of the young soldier, who new
err missed an opportunity to risk his
: own life and safety in the interest OF
any one in danger.
! Leutenat Clarke was born in Vir-
ginia, but was Louisiana French in
his blood. He was graduated from
! West Point in 1884, well towards the
head of his class. He entered the
second cavalry as second lieutenant,
and was Immediately assigned to duty
on the frontier. He remained there
till 1886, during which year he won
the medal for gallantry. He was then
assigned as military attache to the
Legation in Berlin, where he entered
a crack Prussian regiment and took
a years service. His soldierly quail
ties won for him the regard of the
German officers with whom he served.
His papers about the German ARMY
are considered by military men to be
very valuable. Mr.. Clarke was pro
noted to be first lieutenant in 1891,
and assigned to the ninth cavalry. AS
soon, however, as he could arrange it,
! IN h
regiment He was married about a
year ago, and his young wife sur
wives him.

The harvester was invented by Nc
Cormick in 1881. Since that time this
machine has been brought to such
perfection that, it is said, it will cut
and bind an acre Of grain in forty-five
minutes. To such an extent has ma
chinery superseded hand work in the
grain farms of the northwest that it is
estimated that the labor Of one man
will raise enough grain to support a
thousand men for year, while the
labor of second will transport it to

pare 1t for food.
