Rev. W. S. Jones Asked to Withhold
his Final Decision About the First
Welsh Pastorate for One Week.

Rev. w. s. Jones did not, as he had
announced, give his final answer to the
First Welsh Baptist church last night
in regard to reconsidering his resi9na-
tiOn from the church pastorate. MI.
Jones was ready to give his decision,
but the committee which was appoint
ed to ask him to reconsider, urged Mr..
Jones to withhold his announcement
until next Sunday night. This means
that Mr. Jones had decided to leave the
First Welsh Baptist church and to De-
come the pastor of the Prior street
church in Wales.
To Tribune reporter he limited that
such was his attitude. He told the
committee that he would not recOnsid-
er and for this reason they urged him
TO take another weeks time.

packed with people. All along the
route the residence and business houses
We're decorated in honor of the occa-

CHIEF WHITE BIRD.

Was Killed by One of His Own Tribe In
the Assinniboine Country.
1t is not generally known that Chief
White Bird, who was the brains of the
Nez Perces in their outbreak in 1877,
is dead, says the Walla Walla, Wash,
Union. He was killed by one of his
own tribe in the Assiniboine country,
two years ago. White Bird was a
medicine man and undertook the cure
of a sick Indian who died. The rela-
tives, as usual in such cases, killed him
on the ground that he had bewitched
the dead Indian.
1t has been stated that THE Whitman
massacre was caused through similar
circumstances, as DIR. Whitman treat
ed the Indians around him when
measles and dysentery broke out
among the savages, a superstttious
feeling having seized them that the
whites were sowing pestilence in their
midst to kill them off, as, according
to Indian tradition had been done pre-
viously among the Chinooks, and later
among the Bannocks. At this critical
moment, a half breed, an adventurer
and a villain, named 10 Lewis. falsely
charged the doctor with using poison
to hasten the destruction of the tribe.
The watermelon episode and other in
discreet uses of poison by the mission
aries, lent credibility to Lewis state
ments and these were the immediate
causes of the massacre.

Iowa, Kansas, North and South Da-
kota- And for the gambling spirit,
where is il seen In greater degree than
in New York city, or Washington?
The president was especially unfor-
tunate in his reference to corrupt and
badly regulated municipalities. Unsat-
isfactory city government is every
where, and New York city has had the
worst on earth.
Mr.. Cleveland probably believes all
these things which he has charged
against the West. He simply does not
know better. Never having been in the
West, he has formed his impressions
from the sensational pictures and
sketches of western life presented by
many of the eastern papers. Puck has
especially distinguished itself at this
sort of caricature. A large part of its
space is given to absurd conceits of
western life, and an equally generous
space has been systematically devoted
to swelling Mr.. Cleveland's head; and
the tone of the presidents address OF
Tuesday night is sufficient evidence
that he has believed all the coarse
things that paper has said about the
West, and all the coarse fiattery IL has
aimed at him and his administration.

Portland Oregonian: Miss Edith NJ.
Day, the young woman who, in the
spring of 1894, made trip by railroad
around the United States and through
Mexico without touching her foot to the
ground, died in San Francisco yester-
day. She was formerly in the employ
of Lewis & Dryden as stenographer.
The scheme for her trip was devised by
railroad men here to Offset TIE atten-
ton given to Miss Nellie Blys trip
around the world. She went from here
to Washington, where she was intro
duced to the president by Senator
Mitchell, and then proceeded by way
of New Orleans to the City of of
Mexico, where she was introduced to
President Diaz. standing on the steps
of a car. and finally returned home by
way of San Francisco. The novel trip
attracted much attention in railroad
circles all over the country at the time.

Sir. Cleveland and the West.

Spokane Spokesman-Review: There
are times when patience is quite lost
i'm enduring Mr.. Clevelands prosy plat
itudes. And this is one of them. His
address at Carnegie's Music hall Tues
day night was an insufferable insult to
the western half of this country. and
it's utterance affords fresh proof of the
presidents lack of tact, lack of knowl-
edge and lack of justice. It singled the
newer states out from the rest of the
nation and characterized them as es-
pecially given up to vice. immortality
and lawlessness, and their people as
lamentably deficient in patriotism.
Consider the brutality of this utter
ance. even ii il had been true in its
statement, which IL is not. What would
be thought, for example. II the presi-
dent of the French republic were to
address a great mission meeting and
dwell upon the need and Importance of
special effort in certain sections of
France, because OF the great prepon-
derance there of vice and lawlessness?

RIDES IN HIS CARRIAGE.
Peripatetic Barber who Can Afford an
Elaborate Equipage.

From the New York Mail and Express.
A character on the upper west side is a
six-foot barber who hasn't any shop of
his own, but who makes enough at his
trade to keep a turnout. He used to keep
a shop downtown, but this venture was
not what he desired IL to be. so he gave
IL up to the sheriff. Then he hit upon the
idea of becoming a visiting barber. A WIS.,
iting barber is different from the ordinary
everyday barber. in that he calls at the
homes of fairly well-to-do business men
at fixed hours of the day, and for an ex-
ira compensation shows his ability as
tonsorial artist. The class of customers
that this visiting barber has is the envy
of all the shop BARRIERS for miles around
his territory. How he does IL is best ex-
planned in his own language. as told to
Mail and Express reporter yesterday:

Sheriff Wilkins Freed
YEARS OF SLAVERY AND HOW
HE ESCAPED.
Talks About His DelIverer Daily In Craft
tude-Gains Fifteen Pounds In Weight
Since His Rescue.

Urbana, Ohio-(Special.)- This town
is greatly exercised over the remarka-
BILE rescue of Sheriff r. p. wilkins from
one of the worst forms of slavery
known to man. He has now fully re-
covered from the results of his expert
ence, and talks freely and gratefully
of his deliverer. In an interview to-
day he said: IT have been a perfect
slave TO tobacco for over twenty-fiv
years: smoked from twelve to fif-
teen cigars a day. November 4th, last,
| bought my first box of No-To-B BAG
from Anderson & Cramer. / had little
faith. and to my great surprise, after
using part of the third box, was COM
pletely cured and did not have the
least desire for tobacco. To-day / feel
better, 1 sleep better. think better, and
1 have gained fifteen pounds in weight,
and there is not a day passes that
do not recommend No-To- Bac to many
of the tobacco users who / know are
destroying their lives and vitality by
the use OF the weed"
Further investigation revealed the
fact that there are 500 people living In
this town and the surrounding country
who have been cured by No-To- Bac.
Anderson & Cramer stated that they
were the first to start the good work
here as Mr.. Anderson termed IL. Yes.
we introduced No-To-Bac into this
town about three years ago. The de-
mand at the start was very light, the
folks had no faith in IL, but we sold to
a few people, and to our great aston
ishment every one reported a cure.
Since that time we have sold hundreds
of boxes, and every one under a guar
antee to cure or refund the money, and
strange as IL may seem, we have never
had a call TO refund money"
No-To-B BAG not only relieves the ner-
vous irritation and makes the use Of to-
bacco entirely unnecessary, but at the
same time builds up and fortifies the
general physical condition. AS a nat
ural invigorator and stimulant we be-
lieve there is no preparation in Amer
lea TO equal IL.
THE public should be warned. how
ever, against the purchase of any OF
the many limitations on the market. as
the success of No-To- Bac has brought
forth a host OF counterfeiters and imi-
tators. The genuine No-To-Bac Is
made by the Sterling Remedy Co, Chi
cage, Montreal and New York. and Is
sold under a guarantee TO cure by all
druggists. and every tablet has the
word No-To-Bac plainly stamped
thereon"

Why all women are not beautiful and
all men not strong may be hard to ex-

more men are not strong and more wo-
