Henry TrOutman Shoots and Instantly
Kills Himself.


Special TO the HERALD
ASHLAND, March 12.-Henry Troutman,
the retired hotelkeeper, committed sui
eide at about 7:15 o'clock this morning by
hooting himself in the head. He was So
years of age and left wife, but no chi
dren. Ill health is supposed to have been
the cause for the deed.
A short time ago Troutman purchased
ftrm near Pi tman Post Office, in the
Mahantongo Valley, and made arrange
ments to place his brother on it. Early
this morning he was At the house of his
brother, who was preparing to move
to the farm. After spending some
me with the relative Troutman left the
house, saying he would go home. Instead
of doing So however, the man
went to a store and purchased a
revolver. He then went to the stable
at the rear of his residence and, while
seated on the side of sleigh, sent a
bullet into his brain. The ball entered
Immediately back of the right ear and
passed out on the left side of the head.
Death was instantaneous. The deeea sed

trouble and rupture. He was formerly
proprietor of the Locust Mountain House.
His estate is valued at between $50, 900 and
$50 900.

II is Embarrassing.

NJ. NJ. Burke, Esq, found himself in a
IRE licament when about to leave the
Pottsville court house yesterday. Lawyers
are in the habit of leaving their hats and
coats in Prothonotary Deegan's vault
while they are in attendance at the court
room. Yesterday Mr.. Burke was detained
at court later than usual and upon going
to the Prothonotary's office found that
Mr.. Deegan had gone home and the vault
was locked with the coat, hat and over
shoes on the wrong side of the door.
Commissioners Clerk, Phil, Connell, kind
ly loaned Mr.. Burke Fedora with which
to make the journey home. The mishaps
have been quite frequent lately aud the
lawyers are beginning to think they are
part of Prothonotary Deegan's practical
jokes and believe Phil. Connell is in
league with him, as the latter always
appears at the right moment with hat
to loan In hand, and when the victim
glanees up to the windows upon leaving
the court house he sees faces smiling IN
the most tantalizing manner.

appear to take no notice of the fact. My

the obstruction of the pavement at the

this point pedestrians must take to the
street as the obstruction takes up the

Tamaqua, in some respects, is retro
gading In glancing over the papers
published in that town, l notice that the
members of the Borough Council have
come to the conclusion that it's no ones
business what they do as the law-mak
of Tamaqua, and have accordingly
resolved to exclude representatives of
newspapers from their meetings The
pencil pushers will have to depend upon
Dame Rumor for what information they
may desire, aud il the information is not
correct as obtained from this source, the
Councilmen themselves will be to blame.
Reporters, as rule, will secure the news at
all hazards, and that being so the better
plan would be to allow them admission
to the meetings. Then there need be no
occasion for Misrepresentation The prob.
abilities are that the reporters have
criticised the action of the Councilmen-
something the narrow-minded individual
detests-hence the action of the Council
men in excluding the newspaper represen-
tatives, Men who are fearful of just
criticism, should never be chosen as pub
lie officials or lawmakers. Instead of
awakening from it's Rip Van Wrinkle
steep, Tamaqua appears to have taken

AS justification of their course, the
Councilmen have decided to pay fixed
sum to one Of the papers for publishing
the proceedings, the latter to be furnished
by the Town CLERK. This means, in few
words, that if there is anything crooked
in the action of the members on any
particular legislation, it will be sup
pressed.

In the expenditure of the people
money, this particular body of Council
men appear to be most too liberal. To
vote the High Constable S. 90 per mont (,
in lieu of the fees attached to that Office,
will soon bankrupt the treasury. 1t will
also likely cause scramble among the
people for the office when it next becomes
vacant. Shenandoah and Mahanoy City
can we'll afford to pay $40 and $50 per
month, since the High Constables in the 'e
places are required to speak a dozen or

high owing to dislocation of their jaws.

A willy Prophet.

In the days when Brigham Young
was directing the theoretic government
of Utah Mormon missionaries in Eng
land converted one-legged man near
Dulwich. This man, now strong in
faith, conceived the idea that the
prophet in Salt Lake City might effect
q miraculous restoration of the leg
which he had lost in an accident. So
a month later he presented himself,
weary and travel-stained but full OF
cheerful hope, before the head OF the
Mormon church and told his desires.
Strange as it may seem, the prophet
said he would willingly get him new
leg, but begged him first to consider
the matter fully. This life, he told
him, is but vale of tears and as moth
ing compared to eternity. He was
making the choice of going through
life with one leg and having two after
the resurrection, or having two legs
through life and three after. The man
found the prospect of being a human
tripod through all eternity SO uncon'
genial that he accepted with resigna.

prophet from performing the miracle

INDIANS AS HUNTERS.
They do Not Frighten the Game Out OF
Districts. ~ White Men DO.

They do Not Frighten the Game Out OF
Districts, - White Men DO.
r. Is a remark often made by old
timers who knew the western country
when the red man was as common there
as the tenderfoot is now, said q sports
man from the Rockies, that Indians
never scare away game from region
in which they hunt. But, they say,
wherever the white man comes with his
firearms game is bound to be killed off
or driven away. These sayings are
true, with the qualifying statement
that by reasonable game laws game OF
all kinds can be preserved and even
when nearly exterminated restored to
almost its original plentifulness in dis
tricts not too fully occupied by man
and his domestic creatures.
Note the Indian in hunting as he
searches out and steals upon the deer
or wild turkeys with his soft tread of
moccasined feet. In the twang of his
bow string and the fight of the whist
ling arrow there Is no explosive sound
to alarm the creatures near the one
that is struck. He, like themselves, is
in sympathetic accord with the tints
and tones of plain mountain and for
est, and while endeavoring to match
their craft against his they are salts
fed with trying to avoid him without
abandoning the region where he abides.
It is when white hunters of the
sportsmen variety invade its haunts,
their presence heralded by the tread Of
their booted feet, their clothes alien in
appearance to the hues and contours of
the creatures of the wilds, and their
purpose shown by the crack and crash
of firearms. that game begins to mi
CRATE to other feeding grounds. Add
to this the incre asing and indiscrimi-
nate slaughter for slaughter's sake that
characterizes the white mans hunting
and it is easy to see why the depopula-
ton of the forest and plain, when un.
restricted by law, is speedy and sure,
Ever since the general adoption by In
dians of firearms for their hunting II
has not been found that large game
has diminished materially in regions ir
which the white man is an infrequent
visitor, although Sir Samuel Baker, the
explorer, asserts of African game ant
predatory creatures that animals car
endure traps, pitfalls, fire, and every
savage method of hunting; but fire
arms will speedily clear them out from
extensive districts"

USES OF THE CACTUS.
Serves as Reservoir in q Thirsty LAM
Also Used for Medicine.

Serves as a Reservoir in q Thirsty Land,
Also Used for Medicine.
In the arid plains Of Brazil and Mex
leo, where all nature seems parched up
for six months in the year, the cacti
serve as reservoirs of moisture, we are
told, and not only the natives, by
wounding the feshy stems with their
long forest knives, supply themselves
with cool and refreshing juice, but
even the cattle contrive to break
through the skin with their hoofs and
then to suck the liquid they contain,
instinct teaching them to avoid wound
ing themselv with the spines.
Where tn. prickly pear cactus grows
to an immense size the branches are
fed to cattle and sheep after the thorns
are burned off. The fruit is large and
pear-shaped, blood red in color when
ripe and very sweet. The fruit is used
in the fall to color preserves or jellies.
The fruit of all kinds is edible and
some very palatable. The leaves Of the
prickly pear are used for poultices for
wounds or bruises, and the root is rich
in medicinal qualities. The Mexican
Indians are said to be very fond Of the
leaves of different varities Of opuntiai
they fry them in batter like cakes. A
luscious beverage is afforded the thirs'
ty traveller by some Of the larger speci
mems. The tops are cut off in such g
manner as to leave basin-like cavity
which is soon filed with the juice o.
the plant. 1t is said that beautiful
furniture, tables costing as much a.
four hundred dollars, are made from
the large-growing varieties, and vari
Gus ornaments, napkin rings, papel
knives, match safes, inkstands. etc.
are made from the beautiful wood o
