THE OSAGE INDIANS.

Wealthiest People Per Capita on Earth.
 Washington, Nov. 1.-The Osage In- dians are probably the Wealthiest peo-
 pie per capita on earth, are aristocrats
 and scorn manual labor, according to Agent Pollocks annual report to the interior department. They own over
 500 acres of land for each man, woman and child, each receiving an annuity of over $200 in cash. As an illustra- | tion, if an Indian and his wife have eight children the annual income is over $2,000. Rather leading his white brother in this respect, he prefers the conveniences, luxuries and dissipation of village life to agricultural pursuits; he loves to sing and dance and rest and
 he has plenty of money to support his family in idleness. Indian Agent Ste
 phens of the Crow Creeks reports that
 serious nuisance and detriment to prog ress, to correct which agents would have to cooperate, is inter- tribal vis- itnig demoralizing to the Indians, en-
 cauraging idleness and nomadic habits,
 abandonment of the crops, reckless
 distribution of property as presents and
 neglect of stock. Action to minimize this mischief is urged.

The libretto by W. H. Lytell is cleverly written, the dialogue being bright and up7to-date. Strange to say "Gayest Manhattan" has plot which is occasionally in evidence. w. II. Iv- tell appears as Hiram Prindle the old farmer from Skowhegan, Me. who comes to find his daughter and is eventually turned into a regular old sport, Miss Gertie Reynolds is seen in the role of Miianda Prindle, his daugh- ter, who comes to the metropolis for q like purpose. John Gourlay is seen as Nathaniel Mansfield Bellgraff, a broken down actor, in which this clever artist does some Of his cleverest work. The remainder of the company is well cast. Among the specialties introduced are the Three Luby sisters, the acrobatie dancers; Gertie Reynolds, as Cleo di Merode in which she executes the same dance as her French rival: John Go,lr lay has a few moments with comedy and the drama, and the Pickannniny quartet give some pleasing selections. There is fine chorus of forty voices composed of good looking girls, who are possessed of voices that enable them to render substantial aid to the success of the production.

1NsTRUCTING TRAINMEN.

Air Brake Car on a Journey Over New
 Haven Roads Eastern District.
 The instruction car recently built by the Consolidated railroad for the pur- pose of instructing it's employees of the transportation department in the chief points of the air brake, is now mak- ing a tour over the system instructing the train hands. Twice year the men of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad are examined as to their knowledge of steam bYaking, and at the same time receive instruction on the subject But the men of the old New England road were taught only once a year.
 The instruction car Is one Of the best equipped and handsomest cars of it's kind in the world. It is the only one owned by the company. Before it was built the system used a Westinghouse car, on which the men in charge of the New Haven structure say this instruc- ton vehicle is an improvement. When the former car was here it was describ- ed in detail. Though differing some what as a whole, this present visiting steam schoolhouse has a general like ness to it's predecessor. It weighs more than any other car on the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad, it's response to gravity representing 115, coo pounds. It will most probably stay some three weeks longer. Since it's con- struction in May it has, through it's in- structors. taught 1,500 men. There are perhaps 10000 men on the system in the transportation department who are called to use the steam brake. As the law requires all new cars to be equipped with steam brakes. there will be more need each year of the instruction car
 J. L. Andrews, air brake inspector, is in charge of the car, and is assisted by F. H. Whitney. In the handsome little office there are ample sleeping accom- modations for those connected with the wandering schoolhouse.
