AN AMAZED INDIAN CHIEF.

aud the Phonograph.
Probably no Indian who ever visited
Washington to counsel with the great
father returned to his tribe better salts
fed with the results Of his trip than the
Slsseton Sioux Two Star. He not only
accomplished the object of his mission,
but he was entertained in style that
falls to the lot of few of the nations
wards. Agent Keller was with him, as
well as the interpreter, Joe Brown. The
latter, by the way, is a somewhat notable
figure himself He is a son of that Ma
jor Brown who commanded the troops
at the battle of Birch Cooley during
the Sioux outbreak. He has lived all
his life among these Indians and now
keeps large store on the reservation.
Two Star was sent here by his tribe
to ask the immediate payment to them
of S199, 900 of their principal now i'll
the custody of the United States This
sum amounts to ST l,699, 600. The IN
dians are in very destitute circumstances
this winter, owing to an almost COM
plete failure of their crops, and the in
terest due them is not sufficient to carry
them over until next fall. The impair
ment of the principal is matter which
by law rests entirely with the president.
In this case he has promised to follow
the recommendation of the commission
er OF Indian affairs, which is to the ef-
feet that the grant be made.
1t is a somewhat singular fact that,
although Two Star was one of General
Silbey scouts and has always associated
hn WI, 1f
friendliest intimacy, he cannot speak
word of English. His enjoyment of the
white mans amusement is, however,
none the less keen. Senator Kyle's clerk,
Duncan Mcfarland, took him in to see
the kaleidoscope. As he looked in upon
the picture in motion a look of amaze
ment, not unmixed with a degree of
CONSERVATION, crept over his face. He
stepped back and looked around, above
and below the case to find out what
caused the exhibition. 1t was some time
before he could be persuaded to again
apply the eye to the aperture, and when
the machine stopped with a click the
noble red man jumped as if he had
heard the warwhoop of some of his
tribal enemies.

less pleased, with the phonograph and
insisted upon having selection by the
Marine band repeated. He was taken to
an amateur athletic and gymnastic per-
formance at the Columbia A Athletic club
and witnessed the exhibition of skill
and prowess With a delight that was al
most childike. Just before his depar-
ture for the west Two Star said to our
correspondents:

any attention to me then. l think Wash

When Gov. Allen of North Dakota
vetoed the Appropriation bill for the
maintainance of the state university it
was supposed that the institution would
have to be closed for the next two years.
But-the good citizens of North Dakota
will lot set calmly by and see that in
stitution closed. Budd Reeve has come
to rescue and has already put a scheme
into operation which will keep the
university running for the next two
years. His idea is to raise the money
by popular subscription ard asks for
one dollar from every man who voted
for him for congress last fall The
scheme was so successful in his own
town that he decided to embrace the
entire state in the proposition and the
loyal North Dakotans will raise the
funds to carry on the institution.

OscarSWilde, he of aesthetic fame,
has recently come in. touch with the
stearn realities of human existence, and
instead of breathing the aroma Of flowers
his finer sensibilities are brought in
contact with iron bars with small aper-
lures. Recently Oscar brought suit
against the Marquis of Queensberry for
libel, and in the trial that followed
some very unpleasant things were made
public in Oscars private life, acts which
would call the blush to any mans face
but which failed in his case. At the
end of the trial, in which the MARQUIS
was found not guilty, Wilde was placed
under arrest on a charge involving a
penal otfense and for one night at least
slept within prison walls. The trial of
the Marquis brought out incidents that
rather stunned the leaders in London
society.

After many years of payment of 500 a

thought it had cinch in it's favor, as
he would not live many years.
Since that time MI. Gaines has lived
18 years, and the company has paid him
his yearly stipulation of $416, which up
to this time has amounted to 81. 4SS.
The saving of the 500 premium in the Is
