Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1897-07-15

The terrible holocaust in Paris is still
bearing results there. Many Of those
wounded at that time have since died,
and there have been several deaths like
that Of the due d 'Aumale as the indirect
result of the disaster. The Princess
ADELAIDE of Portugal has determined to
become a nun, having been brought to
that decision by the fire in the charity
hazar. There are, too, some results not
so heartrending. 1t will be remembered
that the press Of Paris charged that the
young noblemen who were present at
the bazaar behaved with almost incredi-
bic brutality and cowardice, beating
the helpless women with their canes in
order that they themselves might es-
cape One of the men who were pres
ent at the fire took offense at the re-
marks of a woman upon the episode,
and considered that his honor had been
assailed. He could not challenge her to
Il duel, and as she did not have hus-
band he challenged her brother-in-law.
In this he had the approval Of everyone,
even the challenged man. The two
fools met, not in secret, as was the
fashion under the empire, but openly,
surrounded by a large circle of spec
tators, and, blood having been drawn,
honor was assuaged. 1t is a singular
fact that of late years dueling in Paris
is done without the slightest attempt
to conceal the affair from anyone. In
this case the party rode openly through
the streets, carrying the weapons and
followed by a large crowd Of curious
people in carriages, and the fight took
place in one of the best-known spots
about the city.

Dragons Horn Trumpet.

Germany is not only fertile in COM
posers, but it would seem also in in
strument-makers. It is but a short
time since Ritter's viola-alta became
known, since that we have heard some
thing about yiolette and 'cellono. or
similar names, and the newest inyen-
ton is a dragon horn trumpet. The
new instrument is oval-shaped and ter
inmates in horn, representing a drag
on's head, with it's jaws wide open. and
a curved tongue in the middle. The
cup-shaped mouthpiece is bent like that
OF the bass clarinet. The dragon horn
trumpet possesses three valves and an
apparatus for the regulation of the
sounds, which allows the PLAYER to
pass, without ceasing to blow, from
the loudest forte to the softest piano
The timbre is described as partakinp
OF that Of the como di caccia and that
OF the trumpet-whence the name. The
happy inventor is G. w. Moritz. of Rer.
lin.-Berliner Signale.

mary punishment that follows these
offenses-the guardhouse- his
soul with wrath, and he began to get
sullen and bitter and ugly.
1t is a characteristic of the Indian
that he prefers to eat whenever posi-
bic, and those possibilities cannot be
too frequent to suit him. Uncle Sam
allows his soldiers liberal rations, but
the Indian cavalrymen astonished
their superiors by demanding double
rations, claiming that as Indians they
were entitled to one ration and as SOL
diers to another. The uproar the In
dams raised finally reached Washing
ton and orders We're issued that all
Indians should be mustered out of SER
vice when their time of enlistment ex-
pired, and be refused re-enlistment.
They were to be permitted to serve as
scouts If they liked, but that was all.
Thus one after another the Indian
troops We're mustered out until only
Troop Z, of the Seventh Cavalry. re-
manned. This troop, shown in the illus
tration, from the Detroit Free Press.

There recently arrived in New York
thirteen emaciated negroes from Sierra
Leone, said to be the remnant of a band
of 800 who left this country a few years
ego to make their homes in Africa. This
is another failure of the attempt to col
oniZe American negroes in Africa.
These misguided people We're doing
fairly we'll in some of the Southern
States, when they We're induced to join
on expedition gotten up by alleged col
onization agents. The attempt, like
many others of the kind, has failed. The
unhealthy coast of Africa is white with
the bones of foolish negroes who have
tried to find there a betterment of a
condition which really cannot be i'm
proved upon. The negro under the best
circumstances is not first-class colo
Fist, for reasons that are obvious Afri-
"a, in spite of the fact that it is a black
mans country, can only be developed
by the Caucasian.

At the little old village Of Speonk,
L. l.. there is going on one of those
fights which occur whenever an at
tempt is made to change a corporate
name from something which the peo-
pie have become used to to one which
is more modern ami high sounding
One Remsen gave the town very tine
new church. The people We're CRATE
full and he would have been held in
kind remembrance had not misguid-
ed pastor started the movement to
change the name of the village from
the Indian appellation of Speonk to
Remsenburg. Then there was trouble.
The old residents all stood by Speonk,
while the newcomers held to Remsen-
burg. The latter finally won and the
postotfice and railway company adopt
ed the new name That did not matter
to the Speonkers They still have their
mail addressed to Speonk, and when
they use the railway they invariably
ask for tickets to their own village of
Speonk. The latest development Of the
fight is in a split in the church, the
old members refusing to attend the
new edifice which has caused all the
trouble and holding services Of their
own In a tent. The SpeOnkers are
right and the day may yet come when
they will triumph and see the homely
but original Indian name of their town
restored in place Of the hated one of
the church giver.

Rubies.

The people of Burmah believe that
the ruby which you wear in your rino
IS KIND OF fruit which will ripen if
you give it time. They say that most
ruDles do not ripen simply because thew
are not allowed to do SO. If you want
TO .rlpen' the ruby in your ring, ac-
cordlng to the Burmese idea, you must
take your ring and lay it in the sun for
one month without disturbing at all.
ana az at the end of that time it will be
ripe and good to eat.
