They Did Battle.

Rev. +. f. Bridget, of England, in
recently published historical essay on
"Blunders and Forgeries, takes good
deal of pains to refute the assertion
made some years ago by DIR. Lyon Play
fair that "for a thousand years there was
not a man or woman in Europe that ever
took bath" Mr.. Bridget says that no
one, even tolerably acquainted with the
literature of medieval Europe, can
doubt for moment that the bath was
in constant requisition. Among the ac-
counts of Queen Isabella, wife of Ed
ward H., is an entry of a payment ''for
repairs of the queens bath and gather
ing of herbs for it." In n narrative of
the arrival of Louis of Burgess. created
Earl Of Winchester in 1872, We find
among other comforts provided for him
that in the third chamber there twas
ordered a Bayne, or ii, which were
covered with tentes of white clother."
Mr.. Dickson, the Editor, tells us in the
preface TO the first volume OF the ac-
counts of the lord high treasurer of
Scotland, that bathrooms were not
uncommon in the houses of the great,
and even the luxury of baths in bed
rooms was not unknown. The accounts
show two payments for broadcloth 20
cover bath fst'-that is, to form a
tent-like covering over it," The Able
Thiers, in his "Traite des Supersti-
tions," mentions certain days on which
silly people fancied 1t was wrong to
bathe, a notion which would never have
arisen had not bathing been q common
practice.

TROUBLE IN THE AIR,
Possibility of Another Indian Outbre,
In the Pine Ridge Section.

Possibility Of Another Indian Outbreak
In the Pine Ridge Section.
CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-There is said to be
a strong possibility of another Indian
outbreak in the Pine Ridge section.
The Big Foot band, which Col. For
sythe seriously crippled some time ago,
recently marched, 400 strong, including
$50 fighting bucks, from the Standing
Rock agency to Pine Ridge, where
they declared they would remain ii
they had to fight. They said their
people were buried there, and they
wanted to make it their home.
Capt. Penny Immediately called out
his sixty Indian police, arming each
with forty rounds of cartridges. to pre-
serve order, and troop of the IA
nous Ninth cavalry were dispatched to
escort the Big Foot Indians back to
Standing Rock. This may precipitate
trouble.
AS Pine Ridge is not in this military
division nothing is known of any In
dian troubles here; but James F. Assay,
Indian trader at Pine Ridge, who is
now in Chicago. says he left there a few
days ago, and that there is trouble in
the air

LORD MAYOR sHANks

succeeds In Making Himself tPersona
Non Grata with tho Worlds Fair Au-
Post Prandial Speech. for Which He
was Promptly Turned Down by Dir
ector-General Davis.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO.
Oct. 13.-Dublin's lord mayor, James
Shanks, is persona non grata with the
high governing officials of the fair to-
day. particularly with Direct0r-Gen.
eral Davis. The trouble was caused
by the lord mayors ill-advisei
discourteous speech at the Music
hall banquet at an early hour
this morning. Not half hum
dred of the banqueters remained
until that time, and most of them
stood in a cluster around the director
general, who was acting as toastmas-
ter. Executive Commissioner Hovey,
of Massachusetts,. came to the BAN
quet prepared with an interesting
speech, which he was to deliver in re-
Spouse to the toast '"rhe Executive
Commissioners of the United States
Long before it came his turn to speak,
just before the closing address of Pres
ident Higinbotham, the representative
of Massachusetts, left the banquet hall,
with feelings of ill-concealed disgust,
because of the confusion created
by the foreign and other guests
and their persistent refusal to
listen to the speeches So the
director-general announced that Mr..
Hovey's place on the programme
would be taken by Mayor Shanks, who
had evidently come primed to make a
discordant speech although his name,
as he took pains to inform his hosts at
the beginning of his speech, was not
on the list| His first complaint was
that through an unintentional over
sight the name Ireland was not in
Guided il, the toast, ''Great Britain and
Her Colonies
The director-generai felt offended
when the lord mayor also complained
that Ireland was not represented at the
fair with a building of her own and
courts of her own. When he said: 1.-THE
next time don't have the Mckinley
tariff Col. Davis, who is staunch re.
publican, stood up, and his eyes flashed
with indignation. He said to his friends
around him: Il will call him down for
that
w nen mayor SnankS SAT GOWN no
body applauded the sentiments, and
the director-general quickly arose. In
firm but polite language he informed
the lord mayor that it was no time or
place, and it i'll became him as guest
when asked to respond for an Amer
lean commissioner, to criticise Amer
lean statesmen. As to his complaint
that Ireland was not represented as a
nation, it was absurd as we'll as dis
courteous to the exposition officers be-
cause only nations recognized as such
by all the civilized powers could be
represented at the Worlds fair. The
lord mayor looked abashed and made
no reply.

BosToN, Oct. 14.-An unknown
steamer was run down and sunk in
Boston harbor last night. and many
persons who were on board were
drowned, the vessel sinking SO rapidly
that it was impossible to rescue them.

made the movement of vessels an ex-
tremely hazardous undertaking.
Up to late hour last night it had
been impossible even to learn the name
