Madeline Pollard Is making claim on
the box Office receipts from Colonel Brock

calls this "a rake of on a silver tongue"

Willie Breckinridge's lecture prospects
are cloudy since Madeline insists on at
taching the gate money. This is another
proof of the constancy Of a woman's at
tachment.-New York Recorder.
Madeline Pollard will in time learn that
the Breckenridge box office receipts were
just large enough to pay official fees in
each instance, and that she is constantly
running in debt to lawyers.

Of the box office receipts at Colonel Brock
inridge's lectures ought to serve as dis
courager of Breckenridge eloquence on
the platform. In this role she will be
public benefactrcss.-Bo Herald.
The southern press Is calling upon south
ern managers not to bill VIC. P. Brock
inridge for any lectures. The best way to
keep Breckenridge at home is to give him
such small audiences that he will be COM
PEELED to foot his own bills.-Kansas City
Times.
If Breckenridge had any sense of shame,
he would not put himself on show. Thus
far Miss Pollard has shown moro modesty
than the aged party of the other part.
Breckenridge is not only not ashamed of
the role he has played. but he is trying to
bank on it.-Wheeling wv. Va.) 1ntelIi-

The French breakfast is invariably the
the same, a bowl of cafe au Iait and bread

schools with the unicn members.
There are lao scholars in the District, but
only eighty are connected with the Sun

INDIANS WHO ARE B1GAMIsTs.
All the Older Chiefs Have Each Had

All the Older Chiefs Have Each Had
Several Wives for Many Years.
Special Agent Dickson, at Pine Ridge,
s. D., has reported to the Indian Office that
American Horse, the well-known Sioux
chief, has been arrested on a charge OF
bigamy and released on bail pending trial.
The agent recommends that steps be
taken TO stop this proceeding, which he
regards as the first in a series of like
arrests. All the older Indian chiefs have
had several wives for lorty years and more,
and no one has ever before dreamed of
interfering. American Horse has applied
for permission 10 sell some of bis cattle
to pay the attorDeysand other fees required
for bis defense, and the agent says that
the Indians may be practically stripped
OF their property by such prosecutions.
The impression prevails in the Indain
Office that the arrest OF American Horse
lisa part ofa general plan OF which the recent
Turtle Mountain disturbances were a part,
TO trump up cases against indians and
secure fees for the United States deputy
marsbals who make the arrests.
American Horse has always been friend
OF the whites and exercised a strong
restraining influence over his people
at the time of the ghost dance at Pine
Ridge several years ago.

clowns ofeyery kind doing everything funny,
tumbrr5 and ieapers, athletes, acfobais,
gymnasts, jockeys, drivers, male auu fe-
male experts of all kinds engaged in every
line of traiued athletic performances, or
those denotiug skill and endurance.
Races, contests, trials and struggles Will
be constantly going on in every style of hu-
man endeayor, while the menagerie tents
will b. seen Overlooking with The wonders
of the animal Kingdom. Besides these
again the Ethnological Congress VIII in
terest and instruct every visitor, for nearly
all the races of human beings living on the
globe VIII be represented in it.
The free street parade aione is sufficient
TO guarantee the title OF The Greatest, Show5
on Earth, because more curiosities, ele-

INDICTED For rERJuRY.

Franklin Schneider May BE Brought
to Trial on That Charge.
A story has gained circulation that Mr,
Franklin Schneider, owner of the big
Cairo apartment house, on Q street, near
Sixteenth, Will be brought to trial for peri
jury in the famous Schneider murder trial
three years ago.
He was indicted on June 1892, at the
same time witE James F. Manning Marion
Appleby, Frank G. Bower, OgdaIonia e.
Gassaway, Emma Jackson, Martha Z.
Cain a1s1 Rollins j. Malone. All were ar
raigned a few days later, and under pleas
OF not guilty gave bonds in sums ranging
from 81 900 to 81 800.
Judge C. G. Cole, of criminal court No.
9, was prosecuting attorney at the time.
Before the cases were ready for trial Judge
Cole went on the bench and was succeeded
by Mr. Birney.
1t has not been found practicable for him
to bring the accused to a hearing, and it is
considered doubtful by many if the Gov
ernineDt can make out case against any
of them.

From day to day the examples will
grow more numerous, and the proof be
pleasantly made, that the army of the

that charity next winter will not be kept
busy night and day feeding and clothing

COMING SEALING SEASON.
Secret Instructions Have Been Fol
Il cd q 4 rrnnt lrn

Secret Instructions Have Been For
warded to Agent Crowley.
The Treasury officials have just com
pleted and forwarded to Agent Crowley
at the Seal Islands, instructions for his
guidance during the coming sealing season.
These instructions, which are secret,
cover practically the same ground as
those OF last year except as TO the maxi
mum number OF ski0s which may be taken
by the North American Commercial Com
pauy.
This question has not yet been decided,
but as the company's vessel, which is the
only available means of communication
with the islands, sails from San Francisco
next Wednesday, but little further delay
on this point is possible.
IL seems altogether probable that tie
maximum limit Of 600 will be fixed,
the same as last year, giving to Agent
Crowley the authority to cut down this
limit TO any number the condition Of the
herds seem to require.
