with the Indians three miles further down the river They also agree that Clusters field after the battle showed that he made the best night possible. Custer was mlsbuformed as 10 the num- Der of Indians he was following, as were also Terry and Crook, and Sheri- den and sherman, No one at any headquarters, in the field, or in Chicago or Washington, knew how many h. dians were with Sitting Bull. Terry was commanded from Washington to catch the Indians and bring them in. Custer was commanded by Terry to follow the Indians to the Little Big Horn, and allow none to escape.
 All in command believed that there were not to exceed from 500 to 1,2O0 war riofs, There were probably 1000 war riors. Custer went into the battle without knowing the strength of the enemy. and with the fear that some might escape, These points have all been settled, and we have got down to the conviction that no one was to blame, but that Custer went into battle as any general might have gone, and that he and the men who were with him left the evidences of the most desperate bat tie ever fought by trained soldiers against an enemy so strong as to com plete,y overwhelm them and leave no one to tell the story. The dead told their own story.

CONDITIONS NOT F4TORABnE.

An interesting contest between spirit ualism and materialism has been going on out in Iowa, A farmer in that region who is a spiritualist owns a large num- Der of hogs He did own watch also, but he owns 1t no longer. The other day while he was feeding his hogs the watch dropped out of his pocket, and before he. could get it a hog got it and swallowed it. The farmer couldn't iden- tify the hog that had his watch, and in his difficulty he turned to the spirits for help. He knew they could tip tables, write on states, rap, and do other in- teresting and helpful things, and so he thought they might help him find his watch. He called in medium, and the medium assured him that the spirits would do the right thing by him. The medium, after being properly and artis- tically possessed, pointed out the hog that the spirits had pointed out to him as the container of the watch. That hog was Killed and searched. No watch. Then the medium said there was some mistake, but was sure he and the spirits could find the watch the next time try ing. Another hog was picked out and slain, and another mistake made. Then the medium had a more severe inward struggle than before, and another hog was picked out. But the watch wasn' [ picked out of it. The farmers faith in the spirits didn't fail even then, and other trials were made until twenty hogs had been killed. and the watch was not found in any of the twenty Then the farmers faith was shaken, and he refused to allow any more slaughter.
 Of course the medium and the spirits that controlled him could ultimately have found that watch The "cond- tions" were not favorable, and the far mer lost faith too soon The watch might have been found in the twenty first hog, and, if not there, then in the fiftieth. It is pity that the farmer weakened, and that this contest be- tween spiritualism and materialsm ended in an apparentsvictory for mate rialisn. Perhaps the affair would have
 
 had a different end if the animals had been of another kind. It can reasona- bly be claimed that hogs are especially unsusceptible to spiritual searching. And it may also be fancied that hogs are prejudiced against being entered into by spirits on account of what hap pened many years ago in the country of the Gergesenes.

Banker Benedict has the notion that President Cleveland will not want a third term, and he got this notion from the president himself, or at least he thought he did, David A, Wells doesn't know what the president thinks about third term for himself, but he does know what David A. Wells thinks about it, This republic, says Mir. Wells, is menaced to-day, not by harbarians from without but by barbarians from within. The party and the people have faith in Pres ident Cleveland. He endeared him. self to the country last year when Pop ulism and Debslsm reared their threat ening heads, and now when the public credit and the nations honor are at stake and jingoism rampant, there is need of a tried and trusted president,
 Here's richness for you. The public credit and the nations honor are at stake, and nobody has done more to bring them into that situation than the godlike Cleveland. And yet he is the only man that can get them out of their predicament, according to his faithful worshippers. Perhaps by and by processions of the faithful will tol- low him to his happy hunting and fish ing grounds beseeching him to hear and save. The third term boom appears to be doing well.

SOME SOUND DOCTRINE.

Governor Bradley, of Kentucky, the first Republican governor the State has ever had, starts off well in his messag ge, which contains much that is impressive and sound. Especially noteworthy are his remarks concerning lynching. He declares that every citizen shall be pro- tected in life, liberty and property, at whatever cost. He solemnly appeals to the people in every locality, and to the officers of the State, for faithful, ener- getic and fearless enforcement of the law. And he adds: Nothing can be more effective in the suppression of crime than the cultivation and expression' of healthy sentiment which will hold in just execration every crim- inal, more especially the murderer and assassin. Mob violence-which has it's home in the breast of cowards--should be prevented at all hazards; and if com nlitted, should be properly and severely punlshedi Such acton. IS an open dec laration of want of confidence in the courts. and, instead of promoting, does serious injury to the welfare of the State. The commission of crime to punish crime can find no apologist in a Christian civilization.
 This is to the point. It is possible that the new governor may not be able to get the law enforced as he wants to have it, but he is on the right track. The people of Kentucky cannot do bet ter for themselves and their State than to give him their hearty support in his effort to improve the civilization and the reputation of the State.

Their Looks the Chief Consideration.
 There are so many dainty and sty- fish collars of fur that the average wo- man will put her money into one of them and freeze in it all winter be- cause there can't be any warmth in them, pretty as they are. The only safely useful cape is one that comes be- low the elbows, and even that is not really warm, but 1t will do, Of course the extreme flute and flare of the cor rect cape adds to it's breeziness, for ev- cry wind is literally invited under the scallops, The collar must be very high and five pointed, The best quality of sealskin cannot be detected as such be- side the very best quality of imitation seal, though some folk may feel 1t 8 comfort to have the real thing, '" whether any one knows or not, while

OlHerS VIII ma IL an aSSraVatlOn 10 spend money on the real and get no more credit in it's wear than does the wearer of the imitation. Women with short necks must beware of collars to their fur capes of martin, thibet or oth- CT shaggy fur, Only smooth effect about the throat and shoulders is be- coming to such.
 Little as the demands of comfort are looked after in fur collars, they receive quite as much attention as in fur bod ices of the type presented here. This sort of garment leaves the arms entire ly unprotected. so is suited for wear only in comfortable temperatures, and then the warmth of the body part is so great as to be very likely to become un- comfortable. Of course it can be re- moved and the bodice beneath still be presentable, but the wearer can be de- pended on not to do that; her fur bod ice is far too swagger to be laid aside just because it is too warm. The mate- rial of this dress is yellow and rose pink changeabe silk. It's puffed sleeves have fur hands at the bottom, and the euauettes of the fur bodice are silk-lined. The skirt is without trim ming, but two lace jabots are fastened to the fur bodice with ieweled huttons and a woven gold wire belt set with jewels comes about the waist.
 Gold lace belts are quite the thing now. Gold lace in that connection is used technically, and means. not wo- mans lace, but the military article that is. gold tape or braid. The most elaborate evening gowns have belts Of this sort of stuff buckled with jewels and real gold. Women can save some thing by buying this "laee" at some military supply place. FLORETTE.

It has appeal from the decision of the Cin- cinnati court in the case of Annie Burns, who sued for the value of property lost while traveling in their sleepers, and won the verdict. The responsibility which attaches to hotel-keepers under house rules, or to railroads in the car rying of freight or the baggage of pass engers. the Pullman Car company seeks to evade, and it proposes to yield only when the decision of the highest court is against it.
