He Leads Blushing Holy Blanket
to the Altar in Brooklyn.
Ceremony Of the Pale Faces Fol-
lowed by an Indian Dance.
owboys Join the Racket and
Amazed Orientals Look On.

Mr.. High Bear and Miss Holy Blan-
ket. of Buffalo Bits Wild West Show,
were united in the holy bonds Of we'd
lock at II 80 o'clock this morning. at Am
brose Park. South Brooklyn.
1t was the original intention OF the
high contracting parties to keep the af-
fair as quiet as possible and to surround
1t with the solemn dignity Of a civilized
Christian function. To this end no cards
were Issued, and only the immediate
friends and daily associates of the bride
and bridegroom were invited.
High Bears name on his native heath
is Mato Wangata, while along the
messy banks of Wounded Knee Creek
the dusky bride answers to the call of
Tasina Wakan. Both are Ogallala
Sioux. and their homes are about four
miles from the scene of the Wounded
Knee fight. High Bear was a peace
maker and non-combatant during the
Sioux war OF IS9O-9l. He Is a member OF
Red Clouds band.
Holy Blankets father is n Of Little
Wounds right hand men, and she is
closely related to that redoubtable chief.
Despite the fact that High Bear
deports himself like n wild. untutored
savage in the daily raid on the Dead
wood coach and assists in a Sioux war
dance, he is possessed of what he calls
a great heart" which. like the organ
of his more civilized brother, beats re-
sponsive to the tender sentiment of
love.
His first meeting with Holy Blanket
was on the railroad tracks at Omaha.
The young squaw had never seen a

grabbed her by the back of the neck
and yanked her to a place of safety on
the platform;
Subsequently he was attracted by her
physical perfections and declared his
passion. Holy Blankets little heart
sponded In orthodox fashion.
High Bear Immediately drew a half
years salary in advance and bought
twenty ayuse or COW ponies. which

AN INVESTIGATION DEMANDED.

The Lexow Committee has now an OPP
p~ortunity to investigate a matter not in
cluded In its police programme. but Of
very grave Importance, and which II
promptly and vigorously exposed may
prevent the contamination Of an infam-
Gus crime.
The bill raising the salaries OF the po-
lice force two hundred dollars a year
was introduced. Of course, by n country
representative In the Legislature, Sena-
tor Coggeshall. OF Oneida. 1t was OPP
posed by the authorities of the city gov
eminent. including the Mayor. the Comp
~troller. the Corporation Counse and the
members of the Boar Of Estimate and
Apportionment. Protests were submitted
against 1t by the Chamber of Commerce.
the Good Government Clubs and the tax
payers generally. But the Republican
majority and the Tammany representa-
tives stood by Senator C%ogeshail. The
bill was passed and was approved by
Gov. Flower.
The merits Of the law are not now in
question. But 1t is known that the pass
age of the bill was secured by the use
and promise OF money. 1t Is alleged
that about forty thousand dollars In
cash was sent to Albany when the bill
was introduced and 1t Is now stated and
not co~ntradicted that an additional
eighty or eighty-five thousand dollars Is
to be raised by an assessment on the
force of twenty-five dollars each man.
that being the amount agreed to be paid
provided the bill became n law. Some
Of the men object to paying the assess
ment and have appealed to Supt. Byrnes.
who promises to give the matter his at
tention.
The Committee has a plain and an i'm
perative duty to perform. Bribing the
Legislature is declared to be an ''in-
famous crime" So Is the taking of a
bribe.
The Committee should take up this mat
ter forthwith. 1t Is not only one of the
most serious charges that could be made
against the police. but duplicates also the
Legislature. of which the Lexow Com
mitteemon are members, and especially
reflects on any of them who may have
voted for the Salary bill.
A prompt investigation may besides
stop the contamination of the crime by

The Single-Tax Theory.

To the Editor:
Thomas J. Sanford ~disasrees with 's. n. D."
In his definition Of wealth. The important point
is not u correct definition OF wealth. but how can
we obtain It! With good health and free access
to all natural opportunities. wealth would soon
define itself. He also states one Of q dozen fall
lacies with which he Is familiar that exist In the
r'ngle Tax system. He speaks Of a farm on which
oil had been discovered. and says that under 4
Single Tax system the farm would increase In
value and the tax also would be Increased.
Would not the same thing occur to-day under the
present systemi When the supply OF oil failed
the farm would revert to the original value; so
would the tax. No one would be compelled to
pay more than the rental value OF the opportunity
used by him. This value might decrease as well
70 increase. az In the case OF a used up oil well.
I would advise Mr.. Sanford to read Henry George
on the subject. He will then be in a position to
see the weak points in this question and to clearly
poin them out. When an attack is to be made.
always be thoroughly loaded with the subject.
Henry George will furnish thoughts for both
sides. and is. as we'll. a model In concise, logical
reasoning. Y. X. Yonkers. N. Y.

HeadlOng Christianity.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
I cannot refrain from remarking the Christian
like spirit in which the Rev. Madison C. Peters
replies to the young man who was seated down
by the door. Without so much as expressing the
slightest regret or apology. he sweetly remarks
hat his sermon that evening was on liars"
I doubt II the young man needed the sermon. for
1t is evident, badly as he wanted q front seat.
he did net tell the usher he was "a little hard O.
hearing" Who knows but he had Just bought
his Easter suit and to be given q back seat
would naturally put him on Ill terms with him
self. provided he was so. which I consider I have
no right to infer: and I am certainly afraid that
It would not be with the best hearted cordiality
that the same young man would be welcomed
into the pulpit alongside OF DR.. Peters. I would
not want to be mistaken for the young man
should ! happen In on Sunday night. Before rush
ing into print It would be we'll for some repre-
sentatives Of Christianity to count ten, or even
twenty. MoRALIST. Brooklyn. N. Y.

Flower ~Luncheons.

1t is becoming quite the thing at
smart ~luncheons and dinners to arrange
a centre board, surrounded by individ-
ual tables. these latter in the shape of
clover leaves. and each adorned with a
differently colored flower. Before going
to the dining-room the guests are pre-
scented with blooms similar to those
upon the tables which they are to grace.
Glover chez are more popular this
Spring than last. At pink and white
functions the pretty field flowers figure
largely. They are made up into great
lunches carelessly grouped. and are
turned into moss-edged bowls, set about
on mirrors that give the effect Of tiny
lakes dotted upon the delicate table

A London Dry-Goods Community

AT a great london dry-goods house all
the saleswomen are expected. nay. ard
obliged to dress in black. There are zoo
but not a 'saleslady' nor a "forelady'1
among them. They make derision od
these terms. which are so commonly
heard In this city. The firm also en-
ploys six or seven hundred young men.
All the unmarried employees live on the
premises, and this plan is found to operate
satisfactorily TO all concerned. The
young men wear b!ac!. coat. W .!stcoat

INDIANS FOR C0NEY ISLAND.
Headed by the Man Who Is Said to
Have Killed Gen. Custer.

Twenty-Five Sioux Indians from Stand

ing In care Of Major James Mclaughlin.
Indian Agent.
They were bound for Coney Island and
will form the inhabitants Of a Sioux
war village to be located there for the
Summer, and which will give an idea Of
what Indian life was prior to the cow

Etiquette of the Hand.

A lady never extends her hand to a
man whose acquaintance h is making.
She may or may not shake hands with
a lady who is introduced. but she must
not give her hand to a strange man.
A low bow is the elegant form OF salu-
tation. A cultivated woman will not
shake hands with any man. no matter
how long she is acquainted with him,
unless she respects and admires him. A
gentleman never extends his hand to a
lady first. To do so would be presump-
tuous and subject him to a ~snubbing.
A man shows his breeding the way he
eats his dinner: a woman shows her
breeding the way she receives people.

A Loaf of Bread Weighed.

To the Editor:
After reading the letter Of "A. e. L." who
signs himself zone who knows the bakers trade
I dropped in a large store where they keep all
kinds Of bread. I asked the proprietor II he
would weigh n fve-cent loaf Of bread. He did so.
and It weighed is ounces. He also told me that
he had often weighed bread. and he told me It
was nearly always a little short Of a pound.
Now, the readers Of THE Evening World can
easily see who knows most about the weight OF
a hve-cent loaf bv weighing a few. The people
are charged five cents a pound for bread simply
because they have got used to that figure. 1t is
not right that the public does not have the ben
eft OF the low wholesale price Of -four. And even
at the extravagant prices the bakers do not make
their bread to weigh full weight. There can be
no argument about this. All any one has to do
Is to weigh a fve-cent loaf. XX.,
One who does not know the bakers trade. but
knows he has to ray i've cents for n pound loaf
Of bread and eight cents for a / ~s-4-pound loaf.
