INDIAN CAVALRYMEN.
They Obey Orcers Better Than White Sol
 diers and Behave Very Well.


 diers and Behave Very Well.
 There is company of cavalry at Fort Niobrara commanded by Lieut., Dravo, of which he is very proud, says the Omaha Uorld-Herald. ''The 21st day of April, said the officer, II completed the enlistment of the ffty-fve Indians in my company. An Indian i3 mere easily enlisted into the cavalry because he is allowed a horse" His own pony?" No; he must be mounted on a horse as other cavalry soldiers are" Do you find it difficult to discipline the h. dians?" Not at all. They obey or ders better than the white men, and you see the improvement in them. The comparison between the Indian sol dier and their relatives at the agency is most favorable to the soldier. An h. dian, while he is not round-shouldered, leans forward and bends his knees, but six months 'settiag-up' drill has changed all this materially. Ten of my men are from the Carlisle school ct Pennsylvania, and the junior corporal is a son of the famous Two Strikes. We have a school in the garrison, and they are at present learning the alphabet It is hard for them. too, but they are very much in earnest and learn readily. I promised them when they enlisted that they should be as fully equipped as the white soldiers, and I have just returned from a nine days trip around the reservation in which they proved my words good to their relatives and friends" .'How did you induce them to cut their hair?" ''It is funny about that. 1 told them that they could have no uniforms until they were clean and their hair cut. This was Sat- urday. If they were ready they could Gon their uniforms Monday morning, Sunday-tile whole day-was spent in bathing, six ct time, and Monday morning the entire conp2ny reported, clean and with hair cut. They wish sin cc-cly to learn the white InGn's way, and, ;ls I said before, ere tho most earnest workers imaginable" Do you trust them with alcoholic drinEs?' They have the privileges of the c2n- teen, ;o the soldiers haTc, and you could count the disorderlies upon tho fingers cf one Iand."

RELIC OF NAPOLEON.
A Stone On Which tue Arb;ter of Europe
 Cut His irSt Teeth,

\ Stoue On Wh.cA tue Arbiter of Europe
 Cut His irSt Teeth.
 A writer in the Critic tells a true story, illustrating that species of coin cidence which is always happening in this prosaic world.
 One day, as we were sitting on the piazza, the conversation turned by chance upon curios and relies.
 This is rather an interesting sou venir," said young lady, displaying a charm attached to her watch chain. It was a dark blue stone, oval in shape, about an inch and a half long, and covered with hieroglyphics. It was a handsome thing, and would have de- lighted an antiquarian as much for it's beauty as it's apparent age.
 'What dc you suppose it is?" in- quired the owner.
 We rubbed our forcheads and thought.
 "Pharaoh's signet-ring," suggested one.
 "A charm from Washington'S fob, ]" said another.
 You would never guess" replied the young lady, and I will tell you. It is, :" and she danglcd it before our inquiring eyes, ''it is the stone on which Napo- leon Bonaparte cut his first teeth.''
 Before most of us had time to re- cover from the shocl, Of this announce nert practical-minded member of the party pointed to the hieroglyphics, and asked:
 Are those the prints of his teeth?"
 On closer inspection, however, they appeared to be Arabic characters.
 ''Are you sure that tho stone is really what you say?" asked doubtcr.
 Perfectly" was the assured answer. ''It was given to my mother by Joseph Bonapartc when he lived in Borden town, and he told her that the baby Napoleon, when he wcs just beginning to take notice, clutched at the stone which his nothcr wore OF q chain about her neck, and was so determined to have 1t that she took it from her own neck and put it around his. After that, he used to bite on it until all his little teeth had come through"

Experiences of a Woman Who Is Obliged t0 Take Boarders.
 4 woman, driven by the vicissitudes of life to throw her home open to board CTS, says Her Point of View" in the New York Times, finds the experience. as most other women who try It do, diff fcult, to say tie least. But she says, philoScphicaliy: II am learning human nature. l have discovered that the soft

A woman called recently, liked my apartments, and returned to the parlor to talk business, aS she said, with m engaging smile. Business meant a series of searching, relentless questions and exactions which set my checks a1amc and filled my eyes with hot tears of mortifcation. Did 1 intend purchasing Eew carpet for the parlor? Were my stairs and halls usually kept somewhat cleaner than they appeared that day? Were ny beds clean? Did have two kinds of acat for dinner? Usc homemade bread entirely? and, fina,".y, did . ncid open the front door as rule? This was gratuitous impe-t;n- enec. l was taking tho letters from tho pOStm2n as she came up tho steps and naturally received her. And then she went away, after ta%ing three names as references. 1 insisted in turn that shc should give me one, that of former laDd.ady, and it was one of the small compensations of my lot when she wrote me week later that she found my references satis- factory and would take the rooms to reply that I had found her references most unsatisfactory and was. sure 1 could not tolerate her cXactions. A man came to nc the other night, and, after forcing my price down as low as Ee could, asked ne if my husband was a Christian, if my family attended church and Sunday-school, if my other bo;irGcrs were God-fcaring people, and if Sunday was observed with religious quiet by everybody in the house. People ask mo to takc them chcaply be- cause they ere saving to buy home, or because tho husband has extra of fee expenses, or, as one gushing crea- ture told me last sn:m:ner, because we want to so to Europe next summer The more they want the less tl.ey want to pay. Look at the advertisements for board wanted, everything uncX- ccptionable' and terms mo,!erate.' Would these people think of going into a shop and saying; I want your most expensive goods at a low rrice?' Yet they do precisely that with me. Sur roundings, appointments and service that mean a serious outlay they de- nland and are not willing to pay for. They cannot afford to keep up an cs- tabi:shmcnt to their liking and they ask nc to do it for them without cdc. quatc compensation. The average man or woman seems to part with his courtesy, sense of justice and humanity when he starts out to become a boarder"

A novel anG exciting incident oc- cured on the recent voyage of the steamer Titus from Melbourne to New castle through that vessel striking and passing over a large whale. It was about ten o'clock in the morning when the steamer suddenly humped and canted seaward. The Chief officer and engineer were sent sprawling on the deck. The men below rusfed upon the deck to ascertain the cause of the com motion. On looking astern Chief Officer Nicholson noticed the sea was crimson with blood, and it then dawned upon them that the vessel had hit a sea monster. Glancing forther seaward an unusual sight met their gaze. 4 large whale was flashing the waves in it's death struggle. It was plainly seen to leap three times out of the water. With the aid of powerful glasses the finish ing moments of the monster were visi- ble. The whale appeared to have been struck just above it's pectoral fin. It whirled and lashed the sea at first with tremendous rapidity. Slowly its efforts grew feebler. There was a brief re- vival of the death stroke, and the crea- ture then disappeared.

Welsh Baptist Church.

The corner stone of the Welsh Bap-
tist church, which was dedicated on
Sunday, was laid on Monday afternoon.
The following clergymen took part in
the exercises; Rev. Allan j. Morton, of
Kingston; Rev. j. V. Davis and j. F.
Lloyd, of Wilkes Barre, and Rev. J. III
Evans, of Slatington.
The seats arrived on Tuesday and are
capable of seating 220 persons. They
are now being put in place. The church
and its furnishings is clear of debt ex-
cepting the cost of the seats.
The committe is under obligations to
Mrs. Reynolds for donation of a half
dozen pulpit chairs; to John Williams,
of the Hazleton book store, for bible;
to a friend for the carpet; handsome
clock from VIM. Wehrman, and the
chandelier and sidelamps from Thomas
Birkbeck and friends of the church.
The building is handsomely finished
and reflects great credit on the congre-
CATION and the committee having it in
charge. Three services were held daily
from Saturday afternoon until Monday
evening.

Won the Cornet Solo Contest.

Master Morgan DeFoy, the boy cor
netist of Washington street, won great
victory on Tuesday by defeating four
competitors in cornet solo contest at
the Lavelle fair grounds, near Ashland,
in the presence of large audience.
The competition was diploma Polka"
by j. S. Cox, and the prize $40. Among
the contestants were Prof. HOFFMAN, of
Mauch Chunk, and Prof. STEINER, of
Centralia, the latter being well-known
here as a musician and was formerly
Master DeFoy's instructor.
The contest piece is very difficult and
is of the professional order, and by
winning from Messrs. Hoffman and
STEINER Master DeFoy has performed a
great feat and also has the proud dis
tinction of defeating his master. DIR.
Mason, the adjudicator, could scarcely
find words in which to express his ad-
miration of the boys playing.
Upon his arrival home yesterday a
large number of friends congratulated
him upon his much deserved success.

A winning Ticket VIII BE Selected.

From the Nanticoke News
Looking over the local political field it
/. would seem that there must be close
contest in the coming county convention
between Roger McGarry and Murray
Alexander for the treasurership, and a
tight squeeze between Stanley Daven-
port and John j. Brislin for register of
wills. The controllership seems to be
conceded to Sam Boyd. He has but
one opponent so far heard from, and he
doesn't appear to be in it. Candidates
for county commissioners are numerous.
There's Burke and Padden, of Pittston,
Jacob Guttendorf and Joe Rittenmyer,
of Wilkes-Barre, Tom McGraw, of Beach
Haven, and one of the present incum-
bents, Thomas Dullard of the county
seat.
That Mr.. Dullard has the inside track
as one of the nominees is plain to be
seen. Mr.. Dullard has been hard
working, painstaking commissioner, at
tentive to the duties of his office, and
courteous and obliging in his intercourse
with his fellow citizens. Personally
popular with the masses and in every
way qualified and equipped for the posi-
ton his name would be tower of
strength to the ticket.
Tom McGraw, of Beach Haven, would
make good running mate with Dullard
and we are firm in the belief that both,
if nominated, would be elected by hand
some majorities. Collectively the aspir-
ants for the several offices to be filled
are good and worthy men, and win
ming ticket may be confidently looked
for

An Electric Railway Underground.

From the Standard,
Hazleton and vicinity is in no way
slow in arriving at ways and means for
getting the most out of investments.
An Ebervale man has now a very feas-
ible project in connection with the new
Jeddo tunnel. The plan is that an elec-
trio line be laid in the tunnel connecting
Butler valley and Ebervale. The tun-
mel is Sx9 feet, ample room for an cleo
trio car, and the small ditch which will
be necessary to carry off the mine water
once the surplus is drained off.
This would be good plan on its face;
produce and passenger traffic betwe en-
the valley and Hazleton could be cheap
ly and conveniently carried on, while at
Ebervale the cars might be hoisted to
the surface by steam. Another for the
tunnel which has been suggested is that
it be the bed for column of fresh water
from the Honeyhole to a reservoir that
might be built at Ebervale.

MINISTER'S MEET HERE.
INTERESTING CONFERENCE OF LU-
THERAN PASTORS.

Religious Topics Discussed and Papers
the Upper Lehigh Valley Pastoral As
sociation-Next Meeting at Conyngham.
The meeting Of the Pastoral Associa-
tion of Upper Lehigh Valley on Monday
at the residence of Rev. J. II. Schmidt
was well attended. 1t was called to
order at 9.45 a. m. by President Bauer
and prayer was offered by Rev. Siebolt.
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and adopted. The members
present were: Revs. E. A. Bauer, Le-
highton; G. G. Wuchter, Gilberts; L.
Lindenstruth, Mauch Chunk; H. d. E.
Siebolt, Summit Hill; D. G. Gerbench,

j. G. Rausch, Audenried; II. H. Brum-
ing, White Haven, and Revs. Kvacala
and J. H. Schmidt, Freeland.
Outlines of sermons on Matt. 500
were presented by Revs. Wuchter,
Bauer and Schmidt. After their read
ing was discussed by the different men,
bers very interesting and instructive
paper on the "Ark of the COVENANT"
was read by Rev. Kuntz. An important
question which he failed to answer in
his paper was, "What became of the
ark2"
Rev. Bruming very ably discussed
"Children's Faith" which was followed
by the different members in a general
discussion.
Under routine it was resolved to ex-
tend congratulations to the Rev. Kvacala
in that little son had arrived at his
home. 1t was also resolved by rising
vote to extend heartfelt coincidence and
sympathies to Reys. S. B. Supp, of Ber-
wick, and G. G. Kunkle, of Leacock,
Pa. who both, formerly, were members
of the association, and have lately lost
their wives through that great reaper
death. Twelve o'clock having arrived
the association adjourned and went in a
body to the Cottage hotel and partook
of a first-class dinner.
The second session was opened at p.
m. with prayer by }. G. Rausch. The
third chapter of the Prophet Malachi
was read by the different members in
the old Hebrew language. Rev. Kvaca-
la gave very interesting address in the
German language on the condition of
the Lutheran church in his native land.
1t was resolved to extend a vote of
thanks to the host and his family for the
kind hospitality which they have shown
toward the association during the meet
ing at their residence. The association
adjourned at 430 p. m. by repeating the
Lords prayer, and will meet again on
Monday, September II, at Conyngham,
with Rev. j. j. Kuntz.
