ratding and marauding Comanches and all
but one infant girl killed. she was raised by
the chief and married his son who. at the
death of his lather. was also chief The ran
gers defeated the Indians in battle and cap
tured the woman and her infant child She
could only talk Comanche, and had almost
lost all resem lance to the white race. She
was taken to her people, but she longed for
her Indian home and her husband and soon
pinned away and died. he child was put at
school and was being raised as a white child
He was called by the name his mother was al

bitter warfare was during all this time kept
up unremittingly. 1t is history that there

The mails and Lotterv companies.


II is stated in the Washington dis
patches that the Postmaster General was
greatly surprised when he was informed
that the postoftice department was aiding
what was formerly known as the Louisi-
ana Lottery Company, by granting itycer-
tain mail concessions. He is also quoted
as saying that immediate steps would be
taken TO put stop to the use of the mails
by the lottery company.
There must be something wrong about
the statement that the Postmaster Gen
eral was surprised to learn that the post
Office department was aiding the lottery.
or else the subordinates of the depart
ment are acting without authority from
the Postmaster General.
When the department gave orders to
the Port Tampa City postmaster to de-
liver the letters addressed to Paul Con
rad, Honduras, care of Central American
Express, to the Central American
Express Company, at Port Tampa City,
1t ought to have had a suspicion that there
was something irregular in such deliv-
cry. The fact that the old Louisiana
Lottery Company had esta blished itself
at Port Tampa City was well
known throughout the country, 1t was
quite widely published two or three
months ago 1t is true that it
was stated that only the print
ing and distribution of tickets would
be made from that point, but that state
ment ought to have been sufficient TO sug-
gest an inquiry by the postofice depart
ment.
As matter of fact is there not now two
or three lottery schemes operated through
the mails of this country2 There seems
TO be ground for saying that the one
operated from Port Tampa City is not the
only one that has the benefit of the mails.
The old Louisiana Lottery seems to be
pretty firmly fixed at Port Tampa City.
From accounts, all Gifts business is trans
acted from that point. The drawings are
in Honduras, but that is all. And the
drawings might as well be on ship board
at sea, as in Honduras
The legislature of Florida, at its last
session, amended the law against lotter-
les. 1t was the understanding that the
law was amended so as to make it
stronger. As a matter of fact, the
changes made opened the way for the
lottery to get foothold in the state. The
lawyers who drew the amendment were
shrewder than the legislature and the
governor.
No doubt an effort will be made to
drive the lottery out of the state, but that
will not be an easy task. A legislature
that can resist such arguments as the
lottery lobby can present will have to be
well armed with virtue.

Representative Moses. of the Fourth
Georgia district, talking about the repeal

said that if there was no other reason for

even more drastic in its nature. Mr.
Moses was certain the negro vote would

New Way to Plav Riohard 90.

never will forget the time that saw Tom
Keene play Richard III in Macon, Ca, says a
Globe Democrat writer. He had come from
Atlanta, and had checked his baggage, which
IN some way had been carried on. there was
no possibility OF its being returned in time
for the performance and at first IL was
thought that his date would have to be can
Celcd but the actor was finally Iersladed to
play without the costumes and special
scenery. Butcher knives were used instead
OF swords. and the actors we're all dressed in
citizens clothes. Roars OF laughter greeted
them when they first appeared on the stage
but when an explanation was made by the
manager OF the opera house the people took
IL IN good humor. and enjoyed il better on ac-
count OF its novelty. For my part do not
believe that have ever seen keene act as
well as he did that night, with his citizen s
clothes and butcher-knife AT the close OF the
performance he received a genuine ovation.

The MORNING News received from the
government printing Office a day or TWO

States fish commission, covering the
period from July 1889 to June 1891. The
volume, it is understood, is Just from the
press this month, though it is dated
1888" There is nothing about the
book, which has less than 700 pages. to
require extraordinary length of time for
mechanical preparation; it is merely an
ordinary volume, such as a private print
ing Office would turn out in a month from
the receipt of the first manuscript COPY.
Yet the reports contained are 20 years
old before the government gives them to
the public. 1t is true the matter is not
of momentary and burning Importance
But they are important reports, or they
should not be published at all; and being
of that character, there is no reason why
they should become ancient before being
printed. The secret of the delay proba-
bly, is, there is no politics in the fish re-
ports, and consequently they were forced
TO wait while the political documents had
the presses.

publish the Ledger for Philadelphia. If
owned New York paper / would en-
deavor to print what New Workers wanted
to read. If owned the Herald, for in
stance, would increase its sporting de-
partment, and pay particular attention to
prize fights! Publishing a newspaper is
merely matter of business. The sue
cessful publisher caters to the tastes of
his constituents. There ought TO be very
little sentiment in the management of a
daily newspaper" While Mr.. Childs was

never forgot that there was cold, calcu-
lating business side to life.
Mr.. F. G. Brewer, Of Buffalo, n. Y. ,

part of our representatives. Being over
thrown, and having the sympathy of
only nine-tenths of the native population,
the United States proposed to re-establish
the queen-anOther mistake on the part
OF our administration. 1t was wrong TO
overthrow the queen, and wrong to at
tempt to set her up again. Nine-tenths
Of the natives are adherents of the queen,
and nine-tenths of the Americans in
Hawaii are adherents of the provisional
government; therefore, the queen must
stay out.

A PETRIFIED CAT.
Four Years Ago He Was a Pet In n
Brooklyn AImory.

Four Years Ago lie Was q Pet In n
Brooklyn AImory.
They are inging 1.-THE Cat Came
Back" at the Forty-seventh regiment
armory, Brooklyn. The cat in ques-
ton was known as Rats" Now he
is nothing but stone, and for four
years past the rats and mice infesting
the rifle range in the basement have
looked upon him with establishment.
The animal is now exhibited in one of
the company rooms. It is hung up
with silken cord, and has silken bow
at the end of its tail.
A little over four years ago the cat
was the pet of the armory. 1t had
only one enemy, colored marker in
the rife range. The marker was in
the habit of chasing it from one com
pany room to another. Once after
chasing the cat he cornered it. as he
thought, in the vestibule of the main
entrance, but it escaped from him
down the steps leading to the rife
range. He chased after it, but 1t dis
appeared, and its whereabouts re-
manned mystery until few days
ago.
Two weeks ago it became necessary
to make some change at the rear of
the rife range in the cellar. Back of
the target is an iron sheeting and be-
tween it and the wall beyond is a
space of several inches. There it was
that RATS" met his fate. While
laborers were at work making repairs,
one of them saw cat in n crouching
position in the space between the iron
sheeting of the rifle range and the
armory wall.
When it paid no attention to his
calls he threw a pick at it. Still the
animal refused to bulge. 1t was then
dug out and found to be thoroughly
pctrified.
