Col. Cody is notg the ruddy-cheeked,

betoken failing health. Buffalo Bill is
still hearty, although not as obese as
was the case p few years ago. His
participation nj the programmes of
each day has a tendency to keep down
accumulations of adipose tissue. Des-
pite the changes that time has
wrought, his meresti entrance into the

unaccustomed to the luxuries of hotels

road on business and came down from
the rural districts to spend Sunday and
a little money he had gathered to-

cluded to do little detective work on
his own hook, and, in the course of his
sleuth work, he landed in ST. Paul at
1880 o'clock yesterday morning with
out his coin, but with what all good
detectives always gather, namely
clues.
Lundberg hurried into the central
police station shortly after midnight
Saturday night, and, taking Capt. Rou-
leau into the private office, told his ex-
perience in doing detective work and
asked for the assistance of the st. Paul
police in arresting the parties who had
robbed him.
Lundberg says he was standing on
Fourth street in Minneapolis. about
8 o'clock Saturday night, listening to
a debate between a sound money man
and free silver advocate. The argu-

Death Seems Inevitable.

Mrs. Henrietta Portan, forty-two
years of age, living at 481 Thomas
street, was taken to the city hospital
last night at IL o'clock in a. diving
condition. Mrs. Portan occupied the
Der mentioned, but during the alb
sence of her husband, who is at work
In Wisconsin, slept at the house of
neighbor across the street She
cooked her own meals at home and
during the daytime spent the greater
part of her time at her own home
She was of very nervous tenpera-
ment, and, being afraid to stay alone,
arranged to sleep at neighbours house.
Last evening about 10 o'clock she made
a visit to her home to secure some
wearing apparel, telling the lady with
whom she roomed that she would be
back in a few moments. Five min
utes after she had left fire was dis
covered issuing from her residence. An
alarm was at once turned In, and the
residents who were attracted to the
scene were Mortified to see Mrs. Por-
tan run from the house with her cloth
ing all on fire. Neighbors succeeded
In extinguishing the flames by wrap
ping the women in bed clothes. and
she was at once taken to the CITY
hospital in the Rondo street patrol
wagon. Despite the most excruciating
pain, Mrs Portan was able to talk,
and between her means explained that
as soon as she entered the front door
OF the house she smelled smoke. Open
ing the door to the front room of her
dwelling, she was knocked down by
the rush Of flames which poured forth
from the room. The entire apartment.
she said, seemed to be in a blaze. The
doctors at the city hospital say that
there Is little chance for the woman's
recovery. as her entire body, with the
exception Of the upper part of her
chest and left shoulder. is terribly
burned. The origin of the fire is un-
known, but is supposed to have started
from leak in a gasoline stove, and
the supposition is that when Mrs Por-
tan entered she struck match which
caused the blaze. Peter Portan, hus-
band of the burned woman, is a brick
layer by trade, and is at present
working in Wisconsin.
The fire WAS extinguished by the
department with but little loss to the
building or contents.

Fred Smith, Alleged PickpOcket,
ReEains HIS Health.

Fred Smith, who was shot by Special
officer Hewitt on the day of the G. A.
r. parade, and who has since been at
the city hospital, was brought to the
Central police station yesterday. The
authorities at the city hospital tele-
phoned the police yesterday morning
that Smith was making a deal Of trou-
BILE for the attendants at the institu-
ton, and, as he was practically well,
it would be a favor if he was taken
away. The wagon was sent out and
Smith brought to the station. Smith
limps slightly from the effect of the
bullet wound received by the hand
or rather the revolver of Special Hew-
lit. but otherwise is all right. The
police say that the woman whose
pocket Smith was attempting to pick
is not in the city just now. but can be
brought here if necessary. The chances
are that Smith will be charged with
disorderly conduct and, if he pleads
guilty to that charge, the other will
not be pushed. He will be arraigned
in the police court today.

SALVATION ARMY RALLY.
New Division Commander Leads a
ROusing Meeting.

The Salvation Army held praise
meeting at the barracks on Wacouta
street last evening, at which Maj. A.
Clifford, of Minneapolis, was the prin
cipal speaker. The room was well filed
when Maj. Clifford began his address,
and he spoke interestingly from the
text Young man, remember thy Crea-
tor in the days if thy youth, and let thy
heart cheer thee, but remember for all
those things the Lord will bring thee
to judgment" for nearly an hour The
talk was an ardent appeal to the young
men who seek the cities to affiliate with
some Christian organization that they
may keep themselves free from the
evil with which they are beset on all
sides.
Following Maj. Clifford, Ensign u S.
Potter, who was for several years a
member of the Salvation Army in
Japan, spoke along the same line as
his predecessor and exhorted those
present to respond to the voice of the
Savior before it was too late.
Among the other speakers of the
evening were Mrs. Clifford and Miss
Mills, of Cincinnati, o.

The Journal des Debats denies that the
eight-hour day originated with modern labor
agitators. 1t was first put into effect by
Philip of Spain, a monarch whom nobody
will describe as a social democrat. In his
instruction to the viceroy Of the Indias the
king said "The workmen employed in the
erection Of fortresses and in the royal fac
tories shall work eight hours per day only
four hours in the morning and four hours in
the time for work is such that the men are
exposed as little as possible to the heat of

as much as possible" The order is dated
