Like sentiments were uttered by
members of congress, and when later
Marcus Whitman reported himself to
the American Board at Boston, under
whose auspices he had gone as a mis-
sionary, he received censure for having
left his post. Five times that perilous
journey was made across the continent
before wiser councils prevailed at
Washington, but when the final con-
summation took place Marcus Whit
man was beyond its ken. Instigated
by those who had profited by keeping
this vast wilderness q hunting ground
for savages, Marcus Whitmen and his
devoted wife had both fallen under the
blows of the tomahawk and scalp1ng
knife. For half a century their bodies
have mouldered in a martyrs grave
while the country is but now awakine
from the ignorance of what it owes to
Marcus Whitman. November 20 next
will occur the fiftieth anniversary OF
the martyrdom of Marcus Whitman
and his noble wife, when Sunday, the
2Sth, is to be observed as memor1a
day in all Congregational churches.
Indirectly the American Board was
the means by which the vast territory
beyond the Rocky Mountains was Sc
cured to us. From ocean to ocean the
iron horse now finds unobstructed path

known what lay beyond the rocky bar

ONE CAMPAIGN LIE NAILED.

Many charges have been brought
against Boss Croker during the present
lively campaign in New York, and some
of them seem likely to stick. But the
charge that he and the Prince of Wales
are chummy has been pretty effectually
disposed Of 1t is declared in England
followers call him, never got nearer to
the Prince than to offer him a light for
his cigar. And Sir Richard himself de-
MES that he ever knew the Prince, and
denies that he ever offered him light
for his cigar.
TITS well. There is no doubt that Mr..
Croker has been in England, and that
he has been at horse races which have
been adorned by the presence and the
encoura cement of the Prince. But there
is really no good evidence that he has
gone back on the boys to the extent of
| being openly and conspicuously friendly
with the Prince. 1t is not at all proba-
| BILE that If Cookers campaign succeeds
the power behind the throne will be the
Prince. He is behind throne sure
enough, but not Croker's throne. New
York may be ruled from Albany, Buff
falo, or London, but the ruler will be a
true American" and not foreign
prince.

colors at present fashionable in dress
goods, but that color Is by no means an
essential feature. In the stylish cos
tune presented here, in which gray
cashmere was the goods, the ribbon
was dark gray. The skirt was gather
ed at the waist and ribbon was applied
as indicated. The bodice had a narrow
white cashmere vest and velvet trim
med bolero fronts, wired collar, epau-
lettes and sleeves having ribbon orna-
mentation. The girdle was folded black
satin and dipped in front, a fancy that
is extremely fashionable in belts, APP
pearing on many that are as tight as
can be.
All of sudden the red walking glove
to which we have become attached is
displaced. Very dark grays-slate col
or and even darker-are the right thing
now for just the occasions when red
was used. Indeed, it seems likely that
all occasions are to be suited by some
of the many shades of gray. A deli
cate pearl gray, almost white, is used
for dress; a mouse gray, especially in
undressed kid, is used for shopping
calling, driving or the matinee II you
are not deliberately gowned; and for
strictly formal street, travelling and
tailor occasions the slate colors men,
toned. Many of these dark grays are
stitched with narrow white and are
extremely becoming to the hand. 1t is
found, too, that kid takes the gray dye
with almost no injury to it's texture
which means that gloves ought to veal
better than usual FLORETTE.

The comptroller of the currency has

Two Long-Forgotten Martyrs.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier
Among the names which will rise
from comparative obscurity in the near
future is that of Marcus Whitman, who
may be said to be the ST. Paul of the
nineteenth century; a devoted mission
airy and withal the broad-minded man
who by almost superhuman efforts Sc
cured to our country that vast region
then known as Oregon, comprising now
the states of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, with a part of Wyoming and
Montana. After a perilous journey in
winter, with frozen hands and feet, to
lay before congress the necessity of i'm
mediate action to wrest it from the de-
signs of the Hudson Bay company and
ultimate from the the British Posses
sions," Marcus Whitman met with lit
tie encouragement.

Trimmings, Gowns and Gloves In Gray.
Many handsome dress these days
gets pretty much all it's character from
trimming of velvet ribbon, which is laid
on much as braid was in the earlier
stages of its use two years ago. Though
the effects produced are not dissimilar
from those of the braided rigs, they
strike us as much more attractive. The
very fact of their newness has much to
do with this, and another point is that
braiding has been put on many gowns
so profusely as to amount to nothing
less than OVERRIDING. Much of the rib
bon trimming is black, which stands
out most effectively from many of the

between the second brigade of Gen. Sir

Bengal Laucers found the enemy entrench-
ed on the hills about eight miles distant
The Thirty-nfth Sikhs was ordered to
make the attack. The regiment was sup
ported by four guns Of mountain bat
terry and by six companies of Bluffs. The
SiIhs drove the enemy into the hills but
eventually fell back upon the Bluffs before
superior numbers. The enemy then ad-
vanced against the left flank, drove back
the cavalry and surrounded company of
Sikhs. The cavalry charged brilliantly
and relieved the Sikhs, and the Guides
coming up swept the enemy back The
force halted for some time destroying the
enemys towers, and then retired.
A company of Slkhs, on the hills TO the
extreme right. was hard pressed and was
running short of ammunition when the
general officer commanding moved the
Guides forward to their relief, which was
gallantly accomplished. The Guides car
ried the wounded Sikhs back and executed
the withdrawal in good order, though the
enemy pressed them hard.
Darkness came on before the forces
reached the camp: and the Guides, with
Gen. Jeffreys and his escort of Bluffs, be-
came separated from the column which
passed them in the gloom. Gen. Jeffreys
remained with the Guides and took up a
position in a village. The enemy had oc-
cupled part Of the village. and the troops
not being strong enough TO expel them,
they had inflicted considerable loss on the
little party before Maj. Wortlidge, with
two companies, each composed of Sikhs
and Guides came up and compelled them
to retire.

eight Dogras left the camp and brought

Chicago, Sept. 17.-The prosecution viii
rest its case in the Luetgert trial to-mor-
row after three weeks given to the pre-
sentation of evidence against the prisoner,
and four weeks spent in the trial
The prosecution will close Its case with
some strong evidence tending to prove
the motive for the alleged crime. The
state will endeavor to show that infatua-
ton for Mary Siemering, the servant girl
In the Luetgert household, was the cause
of the murder. 1t will be claimed that the
big sausage maker desired to make the
girl his wife, and that he put Mrs. Luet-
CERT out of the way in order to permit his
marriage with the girl.
To prove this theory, Frank Bialk and
Frank Odorofsky, employees Of Luetgert
who have already testified, will be again
put upon the stand and will give evidence
relating to the domestic affairs of Luetgert
They are expected to testify as TO the
fondness of Luetgert for Mary Siemering,
and the opposition TO the girls presence
in the house made by Mrs. Luetgert. The
frequent visits of Mary Siemerlng TO Luet-
CERT In the sausage factory at unusual
hours Of the night will be detailed.
Both men win tell of seeing Luetgert

and Gossip at the National Capital.
Washington, Sept. 17.-There was a long
list Of presidential appointments announce
ed to-day but the name of Judson Lyons
was not on the list.
Lyons and Walter Johnson were at the
postoffice department but they were not
in possession of any further Information
concerning the Augusta postoffice. They
regard the incident as closed so far, as
the President is concerned, and they are
patiently waiting for the appointment to
be officially announced.
Mai. Il. d. Smyth of Augusta, who
aspires to the postmastership. should the
Lyons slate be broken, Is here looking
after his interests.
AT the postofiice department nothing
official has been received relative to the
Hogansville shooting affair, and il Is not
regarded with as much seriousness as
some of the newspapers are trying to-
make 1t appear. One of the local papers
here stated that the subject was consid-
cred at cabinet meeting to-day, and the
administration IS greatly excited over the
affair."
Such a statement is purely imaginary,
as the latest reports from Hogansville are
far less sensational than the original re-
port of the shooting
While at the postotiice department to-
day Walter johnson recommended the ap-
pointment of A. d. Wright as postmaster
al Thomasville, and secured two appoints
mcnts as follows: M. A. Bracket at
Hemp, Fannfn county, vice Victoria Hyde,
