WHERE GORDON FELL.
Military sIen at Khartoum Do Rever-
ence TO the soIdier-Mar-
tyr's Memory.

There was a grim silence as the
steamers tied nip in shore at Khar-
toom, and men and officers, black and
white, quietly landed. The inhabitants
ceased their clamor. The troops slow
ly formed up at right angles with the
front wall of the palace, turning in
ward, forming a hollow square with
the building. The sirdar and stan,
with the German and military at
taches, were in the center. AT n given
signal two officers appeared by the
bare fagstaffs erected on the ruined
roof of the palace, and to the music of
God Save the Queen" and the Khedi
vial hymn the British and Egyptian
flags were unfurled to the breeze.
Then a wild hurrah suddenly burst
from all throats and helmets were
waved in the air in the triumph of the
moment. Khartoom at last! seemed
to burst from every lip, and the shrill
cries of the women were heard once
more. When the wave of enthusiasm
had passed away four clergymen of
various denominations, among whom
was conspicuous that soldier hero of
fstiguing marches and many battles,
Father Brindle. spoke in pathetic
eulogism of the great Christian Sol
der whose blood had sprinkled the
walls by which they stood, and of the
civilizing work of tho men whose MEM
ory we had come to honor. The sol-
emnity of the proceedings was en-
HANGED by the bands playing the "Dead
March and some of Gordon's fayorite
hymns, while the guns from the boats
Numbered forth in peaceful saluta-
ton. Among The appropriate selec-
tions which the bands and the pipes |
played were "Gordon's LAMENT
ALead, Kindly Light" and "A Few
More Years Shall Roll" This latter
hymn appealed especially to those who
had been with the relief army. of /

A Anis Industry started BY New ENG
land Woman ON Very
small Capital.

Z If.
Just what d, plucky woman can do
when she sets her mind toit"i is shown
in the results achieved by Mrs. A. T..
Condor, of Penobscot, Me-, the mitten
capitalist OF the United States. Mrs.
Ccndon is wealthy woman and tells
OF her business success in this way:
Il began business in 1864 with cap
ital of $40 in little room about 15xl2
feet in size. | first made over worm
out felt hats thrown away by the men,
cleaned, shaped and turned them and
then made them over into hats for
women and girls. Then, as I lived in
the country, where there was no in
dustry, but very many willing hands,
/ resolved to procure if possible some
work for those idle hands to do.
went to Boston and saw scme yarn
manufacturers, and from them got
25 pounds of yarn on credit, this yarn
to be made into mittens. The manu-
facturers furnished the yarn and put
it out at the homes of the people near
where lived.
''I had difficulty in starting the work
and was obliged TO return part of the
yarn to the manufacturers at the end
Of the year because found it impos-
sible. TO have it all knit up into nit
tens. This was not very encouraging
for years work, but persevered and
at the beginning of the second year
one family insisted on having some
yarn to knit into mittens. So tried it
over again, and after it once got well
started l could not supply the demand
for yarn. Tons Of yarn were sent to
me and my business grew until paid
the steamboat company the largest
freight bills of anyone who did busi-
ness on the Boston & Bangor route.
From 10000 to $4,000 dozen mittens
were manufactured yearly and besides
making mittens we made ladies' and
misses hoods and caps, toques, etc.
81 had $500 names on my books OF
people who were at work for me, and |
many more than that were really |
working, as on my books there would
be only one name from each house, al
though perhaps two, three or four
members of the household were knit |
ting, oftentimes as many as there were
members of the family. In the long
winter evenings men and boys wound
the yarn, and in some cases even the
men knit After 1873 the knitting of
,nittens by hand gradually decreased
and machines came in to take the place
of the ,knitters. In 1882 | began to buy
machines and kept adding to my stock
until now | have 50 machines. We
make from $4,000 to $4,000 dozen in one
year on the machines. One of my girls
has made l04 pairs of mittens in one
day, small single mittens, and IS pairs
of boys double-lined mittens. Nearly
all the machines are run at the homes
of the knitters, for in that way they
make more money. Girls on the aver
age make about four dozen of cheap
or two dozen of lined mittens
in day. We make great many fine
fancy-backed mittens of all sizes, and
of these the girls make from one to
two dozen day The price of knitting
used to be rs cents pair. Then 1t
dropped to six and it is about that
now."-Chicago Chonicle.

Ensign Butts!" commanded the
commodore of the fleet, II wish YOU
to go ashore on the Wallipollulu
islands, when we cast anchor! wish
you to see the king in person, and
make arrangements with him so that
our vessels will be able to take waterat
these islands. Present him with a
white vest and pair of eye glasses,
and flatter him immensely. Tell him
he is the greatest king on earth; or
anywhere else; in fact, you might tell
him he makes any other king look
like deuce. He's very amiable
fellow, if he is fattered in the right
way. You will take the gig to go
ashore, and don't forget. ensign, to
tiatter him."
"Aye, aye, sir!" answered the en-
sign, but considering the task have
before me, hadn't | better take the

SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.

In the adjustment of private in
terests appertaining to allotment
of the land of the Cherokee nation,
the rights Of schools and churches
to occupy and obtain final title to
land will demand the attention of
the commission. The liberality
of the Cherokees toward the
churches and the schools is as well
known as is the lavish hospitality
of the tribe.
That these institutions will be
well cared for in the treaty that is
cow being made there is no occa-
sion for doubt. Whatever may
have been the circumstances de-
cade ago, the same conditions as
to land do not exist today. Ten
years ago the Cherokees owned
considerably more than twice as
much land as they now own, be-
sides the population is almost
double what it was then. A sec
ton OF land was of less conse-
quence to the tribe few years ago
than is quarter section at the
present time. In arranging for
deciding land to these institutions
their absolute needs should be
first considered, and land enough
for all reasonable future use
should be granted them, though
not one foot for future speculation,
or profit aside from their legiti-
mate operation. No such institu-
tion can reasonably ask the Cher
okees for donation of land over
and above their actual needs for
buildings and grounds. The
granting of large and valuable
tracts Of land under the present
circumstances should not be
thought of, and should such pro-
vision enter into the agreement it
should, and will be promptly |
voted down by the people at the
final election. There is no such |
thing as vested rights to land in
the Cherokee nation outside of
chat of the tribe. The title has
been held indivisible, and the
common property Of the Cherokee
people. According to numerous
decisions of the supreme court of
the United States no Indian tribe
had power to sell, or to give away,
or grant away in any manner its
lands without the consent of the
United States government. There
fore no such grants have been
made legally and should not be
considered in finally allotting the
country 1t is safe, however, to
say that no church or school need
be uneasy as to the protection Of
their property and their future in
serests, provided they do not get
soo greedy. Any such indication
On the part of such institution
should be promptly checked by
he strong arm of the government.

GODS.
Not All of Them Eat Peanut and Stamp
and Utter Cat Calls.

mot all of the gallery gods eat pea
nuts and whistle and stamp and utter
catcalls." said a man who has begun
saving up his money instead OF spend
ing 1t. Il have heretofore been accus-
toned to the orchestra; now l have
tried the gallery, and here Is my first
experience:
1T was tremendously hot and the
business IA light. and j suppose i did
better by buying a ticket in advance;
but anyhow / had a good seat In the
front row.. l n to climb a good many
stairs. and when l got up there the gal
lery looked pretty steep, so that as j
skirted around the back Of il to get 10
my aisle / Rugged the bank, so to
speak. and ! went carefully down the
stairs, but when i got to my place j
found an orchestra chair with a folding
seat-they were all like that-with a
wire hat holder on the under side. and
the hat holder in order, and that indeed
seemed to be a characteristic Of the
place. 1t was by no NEAR elaborate
in adornment, but everything appeared
TO be looked after and kept in trim.
Well. L sat down in my seat n
looked down into the orchestra. where
/ had sat the last time I had been in
the theater, and II seemed a good ways
down. Then 1 looked around where 1
was. / saw there people just as good
as i was; maybe they'd think them
selves better. and a variety of people.
There was one sailor there h a night.
and he conducted himself as precisely
everybody else there did. with perfect
decorum. There was attention to the
play and interest in Ii; rather more
manifestation Of interest than in other
parts of the house; but aside from that
the bearing Of the people there was sub
stantially like that of the people below;
strangely like IL indeed in some re-
spects: as. for instance. in the case of
the man sitting next to me. a we'll
dressed. well-appearing man, who for
the greater part OF the evening sat with
his arm over the arm of my seat. II
mad everything seem just as natural
as could be. and gave me a homelike
feeling right from the start.
"As a matter Of colo fact. I'd rather
sit in the orchestra than the family
circle, but II was a very satisfactory
experience. nevertheless. In which I dis
covered that I could see the best plays
going for very little money II I would
be content to look at them from a little
different angle"
