THAT BAcHELoR
SLitue Egypt TestiHes Before the New
York Police Board.

NEW YORK, Jan. 18-The trial Of Po-
lice Captain Chapman by the police board
was continued yesterday, and Little
Egypt" the Algerian muscle dancer, vas
the star witness. Captain Chapman is
charged with exceeding his authority by
making a midnight raid Dec. 10 on Sher-
rvs ball room, where Herbert b. Seeley,
a grandson Of p. II. Barnum, was enter
tanning a score of friends at a stag dinner
with a vaudeville accompaniment, which
Chapman claimed was indecent, Captain
Chapman subpmnaed all the women who
danced at the dinner, and all of the diners.
He began his defense last Friday by call
ing Anna Belle Whitford, who testified
that she had been asked to dance naked mt
the dinner; that she had refused, and told
her father, who notified Chapman.
Lottie Mortimer, a vaudeville performer,
repeated an indecent toast she offered, to
which the Seeley party drank. She also
told Of the liberties the diners took with
her, and Of the indecent or suggestive
Christmas presents that Minnie Renwood,
another dancer, distributed to the guests.
Miss Renwood, dressed as Trilby, repre-
sented Santa Claus Up TO Date" and to
her person was pinned signs not altogether
proper. Minnie Renwood's testimony
c~orroborated Miss Mortimer's.
Yesterday Captain Chapman went on
the stand and told his story Of the raid
narrating how he found eight IN and
four men in the dressing room, the
women very much undressed."
Little Egypt, or Ashee Waba, told in
broken language how she was engaged to
do a little dance and pose on a pedestal as
an Egyptian slave, wearing a bracelet on
her ankle, but otherwise naked. She said
she would do so, 'for the sake of art
She told how the Seeley guests piled her
with wine and lifted her and pinched
her limbs. The attorneys who questioned
her could evidently have brought out a
more revolving story, for she was an eager
witness.
The trial is not yet ended. The district
attorney has stated that he will examine
the minutes Of the trial, and if the evil
dence justifes such action he will lay the
matter before the grand jury.

SCRANTON, Pa, Jan. 13.-Nine miners
were rescued from Imprisonment and the
perils of an extensive cavein in the Pierce
Coal company mine at Archibald yester-
day afternoon. A series Of falls and
crumblings had sent 200 men hurrying TO
the surface by way of the main shaft car
riage, and it was found that nine were
missing. The cavein had shut them off
from the foot Of the shaft. William A.
Jones, an old foreman, volunteered TO de-
scenda an old shaft, in spite of the peril to
his life. After an hours absence he
brought the missing men to the surface.
They were below nine hours. The hair Of
one of them, a Hungarian, had turned
white. The company gave 500 in gold to
Jones.

A Faithful Shepherds Trials.

A: the int tsrtalnment in Washburp, three g
weeks ago, faithful dog followed his
master up the hallway stairs to the en-
trance door and then lay down to await
the masters return when the play was
ended. In the rush and confusion of ex-
it, he missed his owner, who had followed
the crowd. With the light of his kind, he
measured his masters appreciation by his
own faithfulness and stood two days and
two nights by the door awsising his com.
ing. But he waited in vain. Though
starving be would not relinquish the pla, .
where his master had told him to :'lie
down. until forceably elected by the &C,
ing janitor. Then the dog went to the
hotel entrance where in front of the stoop
he timidly watched in half fear of kick
from every passing foot or git out OF
this from every scrow]ing face. The
passing child fondled him without fear
showing that his home had been also the
home of tots. He was a shepherd. and
of some age. The scoop is vacant,
now, but whether the faithful beast found
his master, or received stray bullet or
vicious club-the scribe knoweth not.

Unjust Tax.tioii:

While 50 much is being said anent
enactments of the recent legislature; az
yet, nothing has been said regarding the
almost intOlerable injustice that the new
re venue Law will work, especially among
communities in the western part Of the
state. While in many respects it is &C.
knuwledged to be an improvement ON the
old one. yet, when some of its sweeping
alterations are analysed, it is only too ap-
parent that had the old revenue Law been
permitted to stand, with probably q few
| amendments, 1t wOuld certainly have
been more satisfactory. It seems a.
thongh when the representatives of the
common people are in Legislative session
|'dsssmbled, they devote too much time
and are too Jealous in endeavoring to
strike upon some mode or method by
which the manner of raising revenues
can be made stricter and more certain.
And while exerting their ambition in this
direction all else is lost sight of, but to
their discredit it must be acknowledged
that they are more than successfuii IN
framing laws that will exact an exorbi-
tant tax from tho many who possess less
than their share of earthly goods, while
laws to regrlate the taxation of the few
corporal ons and monOpolies-are loose.
irregular and will not stand the constr
tutional test to which they are invariably
put, and as consequence the rich escape
taxation while the poor have no recourse
-they have to pay their taxes or subject
their property to sale. Heretofore 1t has
been customary to classify horses so that
ra, ge horses and bronchos could be as
sesssd at something near their value. But
the last Legislature did not zee tt to ex'
tend this privilege in the new revenue
law. Hence, this year everything in the
sha pc of horse will have to be listed as
such with an average value OF $32 per
head. In this county there are many
ponies and bronchos whose actual cash
value are less than IS. but yet their
owners will be compelled to pay taxes on
them at the rate Of $32 per head, just
because the recent legislature, in it's ''in-
finite v,sdom," didn't see fit to classify
horses for assessment. The assessors
are not to blame for high valuations
they, are but public servants sworn to do
their duties according to law. The law
empowers the state board of equalization
to regulate the value of live stock, and
they have ordered that horses shall be as
s~ssed ON an average of $32 per head.

A PRAIsEwORrHY DEED.
Bismarck Settler

Last Monday, while scanning tho over
flowed bottom, opposite Mr.. Sperry't
house, about ten miles up the Missouri
river from Bismarck, Frank Bly, and Lyn,
sperry thought they discovered signs o
life in a clump of bushes which was com
pletely surrounded by cakes of ice which
had lodged there. Taking boat the,
rowed TO the spot, and imagine their sur
prise upon learning that the bjects which
had attracted their attention we're twenty.
four deer, which had been congregated
there because the land was higher than
the surrounding fiat, and had been impris
oned by floating ice which had probably
collected around their retreat before il
had become entirely submerged and az
the water rose they were unable to make
their way over or through this ice to es.
cape and we're obliged to swim or stand
ON their hind legs to keep thvir heads
above the water, it being about eight feet
deep.
An opening was made and the deer
we're driven out and made to swim for the
highlands about three quarters of a mile
away. Two of the deer we're 40 exhausted
and benumbei with the cold that they
were unable to reach the shore without
being helped by the men in the boat and
on reaching the shore they. we're too far
gone co help themselves and made no re-.
sistence while being carried to Mr.. sper-
RVS to be cared for.
Many Of the deer were too benumbed
or exhausted to. at once move of; they
would stagger to their feet only to fall
again until their legs were rubbed and
circulation started. when they would
move off short distance and turn and
look at their delverers with their mild
eyes expressive of thankfullness and won
derment. Thankfullness for the kind and
merciful treatment which they had re-
ceived and amazement that they should
receive euch treatment at the hands Of
those whom they had reason to look upon
in no other light than their mortel foes,
made these gentle creatures almost tame,
and when being made to swim to th,
shore they no doubt expected they were
merely esca ping one form of death to i'm
mediately meet another at the hands of
those by whom they we're being driven.
Is it any wonder that after their leps
we're restored to use and they were given
their freedom, that the truth should be
ssmewhat incredible to them and they
should frequent ~ turn to make sure there
was not some mistake about it and should
dOubt either theirsovn existence or tie
fact that their dsliyerance and liberstfa,a
had been brought about By the agency. Of
man?
sOn the same day they found twelve
deer which had taken refuge on q cake of
floating ice which had lodged IL some
bushes. Thsss deer suffered them to rov
their boat up to the ice, their fesr Of man
being less than their fear of plunging in.
TO the cold water, and il was only whom
slush and water was splashed over them
With ar oar that they could be made 20
leave Yea the ice upon which they had taken
refogs. They we're made to swim TO tie
