A SamOyed Feast,

When / returned in the afternoon to
the choom in driving storm Of sleet,
found Vassili and his wife in great
fettle. He had killed deer in the morn
ing, and they had been indulging in one
of their big feeds. In fact, as sledged
up to the choom he and his wife were
only just concluding three hours feast.
Squatting ON skins, they had rough
piece of plank in front of them on which
lay the stomach Of reindeer. This was
almost full Of blood, drained from the
deer-in fact, it formed their soup tn
reen. They each had hind leg, Oh
which some of the hide still remained,
and cutting off chunks of the meat were
dipping them in the crimson soup and
then greedily swallowing the bonnie
bouche.
As a fitting background to the pic
ture pieces Of the carcass, still dripping
with blood, hung all round the interior
Of the choom. On the ground were
small, dark pools of blood, and my
sleeping bag, though as well out of the
way as the size Of the interior would al.
low, was we'll sprinkled with the same
natural dye. AS they sat there grinnine
a welcome to me, with their cheeks and
brows all smeared with gore, they look
ed for all the world like the blood eat
ing ghouls of ones childish fancy

Moltke's Idea of FINN.

The boyish delight of the Prussian
generals at reaching Paris is shown in
tho story of carouse held at Ferrieres,
near Meaux, told in letter of General
Vordy du Vernois, which was written in
1870:
Yesterday was such fatiguing day,
but lively and agreeable. At 4 King
William gave grand banquet, His
majesty knew that we had to dine ut 0
with the head of the staff and oongratu-
lated us ON our grandiose appetite, At 0
sharp l got away from the royal dinner
to BIO punctual to tho minute at the
other ono. Given the circumstances, it
was feast for Lucullus. Bismarck,
Room and their suites had already come.
We staid at table from till 10. Moltke
then set up whist tables. As the punch
was delicious, we all staid till in
the morning, Bismarck told lot of
funny stories, and none funnfer than his
account of Jules Favre's interview and
the interminable speeches of that French
envoy, One might fancy oneself, Bis
marck said, at public meeting when
he talked.
"They read us some verses that he
was sending to sGermany, In conse-
quence of his dropping line, the eff
feet was to the last degree comic We
all went of into roars of laughter-one
of us lay fiat on the table, another skip
ped round it, and Moltke showed his
sense of comicality by sleeping bits of
bread in his full wineglass and throw
ing them in our faces This dinner took
place in small chateau belonging to an
aristocratic old French lady. She did
the honors of her house in courtly, old
fashioned style, but she spoke no other
language but French. The dinner went
off SO we'll that our host felt he must
thank the old lady. Unfortunately he
knew no French. His enthusiasm was
aroused by the moonlight that poured
down on a terrace where we took coffee.
He went to the marquise and mastering
what words of French be knew took her
tenderly by the hand, and pointing to the
waning moon said, Foyer, madame.

A big railroad trunk line agree
ment has been signed by presidents
of nine roads running from the sea-
board to the West, the object being
to control freight rates. These
roads represent capitalization, ac-
cording to Senator Chandler of New
Hampshire, aggregating $3,OOO,OOO,-
600. Senator Chandler is active in
his opposition to the consumation of
This trust and has written the Presi-
dent and the Interstate Commerce
commission. To the former be says :
go to, Mr.. Chairman This
trusts not to be created if you and
President Cleveland can prevent it.

appeal to them for support in conven.

In his letter to the President the
Senator closes as follows. "These
stupendous crimes can by virtue Of
express statutes of the United States
be suppressed in advance by Nationa
officials. A single word5from you tc

1t is noticeable that Republican
journals are still disussing the third
term question. What is the matter
with these journals !? Why not wait
until Cleveland is nominated and
then offer their objections to the third
term ! 1t looks now as if they feared
Cleveland and wanted to forestall his
nomination. This is all wrong. The
one great question yet to be settled
s that Of the tariff. The financial
one is rapidly settling itself. Cleve-
land is the ideal tariff Democrat.
Let his party bring him, once more,
if they will, before the peoples tri-
bunal. That is the place to settle
the third term business and several
other things.

The News OF the Day.

The body OF A. G. lnman, train
dispatcher at White River Junction,
who disappeared onthe Goth of july
was found Sunday in piece Of woods
about mile from his home. The
body was found in a small narrow hol-
low, forming natural grave, with
which, it would seem, Inman must
have been familiar, as it is almost CON-
pletely surrounded by a copse of pine
and hemlock growth. He lay upon
his back at full length, fully attired as
when he disappeared, even to his hat,
and with his left arm laid across his
breast. Every appearance of the body
indicated quiet death, and the theory
that he committed suicide Gas his wife
has firmly believed from the frst) and
from poison is clearly the most plausi,
BILE story. No part OF the body is iei'
except sinew of bones, so it is hardly
possible to determine ABSOLUTELY the
cause Of death, although there is little
question about it. The clothes Intact
and the right arm missing made the
Identification sure. Nothing was found
in the pockets except a pair of specta
Giles and lead pencil.

John w. Mackay, Jr., eldest son
of the American millionaire, was killed
in France, Saturday. A press dis,
patch gives the following particulars:
For some days past Mr.. Mackay
and two friends, Messrs. Lynch and
Digby, have been tying some horses,
which they had lately purchased, over
hurdles and bitches, on a course laid
out by Mr. Mackay on the estate Of
the Duke Of Gramont, tn the Depart
ment of the Sarthe, which he has rent
ed. Contrary to the advice of his
friends, Mr.. Mackay yesterday mount
ed particularly FESTIVE horse, which
had been ridden by Mr.. Lynch on
Thursday. The horse bolted from the
track and rushed through the thickets.
Mackay succeeded in lodging several
of the trees, but was finally overcome
by the exertion, lost all control of his
horse, reeled in the saddle and finally
collided with fearful force against a
tree, which he struck with his head and
knee.
The collision hurled him to the
pround, and when his friends rushed to
the spot they found him suffering from
ghastly Wounds in the head, both Of
bis eyes being crushed. All the i'm
mediate attempts to restore the unfor-
tunate young man to consciousness
proved futile. He was carried home,
and doctors were called. After three
hours of attention the physicians sue
ceeded in restoring their patient to con
sciousness, but he bad several reiapses
and expired at $50 after shaking
hands with and saying good by to al
his friends, whom he recognized by the
sound of their voices.

Dispatches continue to be sent out from
Washington to the effect that the admins
tratioa is very much concerned over the
situation between Venezuela and Great
Britain and that the officials at the State
Department are hoping that no open rup-
ture will occur between those nations but
that the boundary difficulty will be settled
calmly and without resort to force. The
news from Venezuela, however, is not reas
surfing on this score, indicating as it does
that the people there are greatly agitated
and have generally adopted determination
to resist Great Britain's demand to the
extreme limit. A strict observance Of the
Monroe doctrine as 1t is generally construed
would necessitate active participation by
the United States in any dispute involving
encroachments on American territory by
any European power To some minds the
claim of Great Britain in Venezuela is ag
gressively unjust. The position of that ma
ton in refusing to submit to arbitration
certain phases of the controversy is not
sthought to be equitable, as If there be any
measure of justice in those claims which it
reserves for it's own determination there
could be no possible danger in submitting
the case to the Judgment of neutral pow
er. However. it Is hardly to be expected
that any forceful objections to the British
claim in Venezuela will be entered by this
government. Its attitude toward England
IN the Hawaiian affair, where American in
terests were directly concerned, was one of
subserviency, and it is hardly to be ex-
pected that this attitude will be altered
merely for the sake Of Venezuela and the
Monroe doctrine. The administration will
probably confine its threats to little powers
like Hawaii. 1t knows whom to kick.

The New York police are considerably
hagrined over the fact that they were
badly beaten by the reporters of the World
in the effort to identify the woman who
was found strang!ed and mutilated in an
area in public street the other day, and
10 fasten the guilt upon her murderer. The
detectives are now endeavoring to explain
that to them belongs the real credit. but
there is nothing to justify the claim. for
the World has made out perfect case, and
has the most positive evidence that the
fact of the woman's identity was published
in it's columns before the police authori-
ties had begun to reach the right clues. and
simultaneously with the publication in
other papers that the police were still con-
fessedly baffled in their search. ldentifi-
cation and the detection of the criminal
were practically identical tasks, and to
the World undoubtedly belongs the credit
of having ferreted out what at first prom
ised to become very mysterious case. For
this work the World, always enterprising
and usually successful deserves the thanks
of the citizens of New York.
