Sum-.

Forty Apaches on the.way to San Carlos from Alabama passed through Fl Paso Monday night. The Fl Paso Herald, in speaking ol it says:
 The Southern Pacific took ten well filled ears west this afternoon, and az no efght wheeled passenger engine could handle the train and make time, freight engine 1732 was sent out to haul, the train. There were fl Apaches on board en route from Alabama in charge of a lieu tenant of the fifth infantry to Ari zona, to be relocated on their old hunting grounds. Arizona people are not struck on seeing these creat ures back again. But then Arizona is only territory, so what does the administration care.

Grover CIeyeland'S Large,FOrtune.

The accumulation of Grover Cleveland's s large fortune of $6.OOO,- 900 is exciting great interest all through the Union. The first piece of real estate he ever owned was a farm in the town of East Hamburg, N. r., which he secured as a fee in q law suit. When he was elected Governor of New York he.owned real estate in Buffalo valued at $10,- 900. When elected president he was estimated to be worth $50,000, most all of which was invested in bonds. His first real estate vent nre was the purchase of Oakview, which cost him $21, ,O0O and which he subsequently, sold for several times as much. He saved larger part of his salary and when he re- turned to New York after the ex- piratiOn of his first term was worth about quarter of million. Just at that time W. c. Whitney, D. s. Lamont and J. J. Belden acquired options on surface street railroads of New York, representing a syndi- cate of capitalists of whom Cleve- land was. one-ssThis deal made La mont and Cleveland millionaries and added some millions to Whit ney's already large. fortune. Bene- dict, the New York banker, is Cleve- lands man of business and is said to have invested the prisident's money in excellent railroad stock. The Chicago Record says that the president made recently $350,000 in a deal ill Chicago gas stock. w. B. Shaw Washington correspondent, says that if the free coal bill had passed. it would have added la: ge- Iy to the presidents wealth. as he and ex-Secretary Whitney are in- terested in extensive coalmines in Nova Scotia, and thernsaving of 40 cents per ton on coal would have meant much 10 them.

 "they are past mastersEin the arts of skulking and .deceiving. An Apache will lie behind a soapweec on the open prairie, and you may ride past 200 or 300 yards away and never have an idea that there is q redskin within 50 miles of you un' less he decides to risk shot at you. As you pass the soapweed he works hls body around so as to keep 1t all ways in line with the plantand you. Even on the open prairie, with no more shelter than that affords by some littte inequaitv of surface. he will sift dust over his body, fatten himself out, face downward against the ground and lying as motionless as a stone, will escape the observa- ton of any one except sharp and practiced eyes. Sometimes, in a grove of cactus or Spanish bayonet, his buckskin garments blending with the hues of the plants, his face and neck concealed by the head of a Spanish bayonet he will stand like a post, indistinguishable to the experienced eye, even at close quarters, from the grotesque plants about him.
 "A queer experience of this kind occurred to me in my service in Ari- zona during General Cooks last campaign against the Apaches. Tom Merriam of my troop and my self were detailed to carry. dis patches from Camp Bowie to Camp Grant, up on the Rio Bonito. It was dangerous service at that time, and we had to keep a sharp lookout and ready to fight or run at moments notice, for there was no knowing at what point on the rouet theApaches might not be ly- ing in wait to jump us as we came along.
 We were on our return to Camp Bowie and had just crossed the wooded canyon where the cold spring is and were coming out upon the open prairie that stretches down to the San Pedro River, when through the branches of q low tree I saw what took to be an Indian on the plain about half mile ahead, but on spurring my horse forward so as.to get a better look, nothing was to be seen. save the bare prairie. with no sign of man or beast upon it's axpanse.
 "As we rode along 1 spoke of the matter to Tom, who laughed at what he called my scare, which he said caused me to see imaginary Indians. We came opposite a low, gray powder upon the prairie 200 paces or so from the trail.
 "I don't remember ever to have seen that rock before, said Tom, who had been over the route sever al times. How in the devil did it get there? I'll ride over and take a look at it!' And he reined his horse and rode toward the object. I followed him a few yard behind.
 His horse had scarcely taken a dozen steps when the seeming gray rock moved slightly up and there came from it's lower edge flash and report with the scream of a big cal iber ball that Tapped Toms coat with its wind and caused his horse to plunge so suddenly that Tom, one of the best riders in the troop not being on the lookout for such a happening, was thrown At the same instant an Apache leaped from beneath the gray blanket that had served him to masquerade as a powder and ran like deer for the canyon, leaping to lief: and right as

THE OUTLOOK BRIGHTER

The poor we always have with us.
While il is entirely in keeping with
the we'll established reputation of the
citizens of st. Paul TO make early and
ample preparations to take care of the
destitdte and unemployed during tie
winter season, when common labor can
not find much outdoor employment, one
thing is apparent this season-namely,
that the outlook is much brighter this
fall than year ago this time.
Just twelve months ago the country
was III the throes of a gigantic panic.
and the Northwest was experiencing d
season of lethargy, paralysis OF business
and general suffering never before
known since the prairie states were
first opened for settlement.
Business has now taken new im-

Skilled labor will find employment as
business keeps apace with the demands
of the public. Money in plenty, now
lying idle in the vaults of the banks.
will soon flow again through its regular
channels.
Locally speaking, like conditions pre-

about to lie undertaken, all of which

of course; but the men who wish to

CREMATION THE THING.

The GLOBE yesterday devoted con-
siderable amount of space to the report
m ade by AsSemblyman johnson TO the
joint committee on garbage as to his
observations had at ElwO0d, where a
successful crematory is now in opera
ton.
The subject Of the final disposition of
garbage and night soil is of paramount
Importance to all good citizens who have
ut heart the healthfulness of our city.
There is no doubt tnat any system
which will do away with these nOXiOuS
stuffs for good. and do it thoroughly,
will finally supplant the present method
OF hauling it away, only to he dumped
where the deadly fumes may be scattered
broadcast by the winds, and the poison
GUS seepage may percolate the soil, only
to reappear at some time and place with
disease dealing results.
The GLOBE fully believes that the
time has come when this important issue
should be settled for good. 1t is not
a question of expense. 1t is ques.
tion of health and life to our chill
dren, to our entire population. st.
Paul has been fortunately free from
epidemics of contagious character. yet
there are many cases of fever of all
sorts every hot season. These can be
reduced to aminimum by the introduc-
ton of the crematory system Of dispos-
ing of the city's garbage. Health officers
all over the country are indOrsing this
system just as rapidly as it is being in.
troduced in the various cities of the
land.
There certainly must be way by
which the necessary amount of money
can be made available for the purchas e
of a plant. st. Paul has entered upon a
new era of prosperity. Progress is in
the air, and with it should come all inn
provements of public character which
may be obtained. 1t may appear on the
surface. and at first glance. that these
will require great outlays of public
funds. But closer investigation will
reveal that all modern improvements of
that character soon repay the commu-
nifty with large profit.
The committee now engaged in the
investigation Of the subject is unit as
to the advantages of the cremation Of
garbage. Let the city have plant.
