shaker Indinns.

John Slocum, the Shaker Indian, died
at his Mud Bay camp the other day.
Slocum became famous about five years
ago by passing to Heaven through the
avenue Of trance, where he remained
several days before returning to his
mundane sphere. On his return he pic
tured Heaven in glowing terms to his
associates, declaring that lots of In
ilians are there, and that each had a
horse and plenty of salmon. Every In
dian at Mud and Oyster bays became
his followers, and for the remaining
years of his life he welded marked
influence upon his disciples. Conscious
of approaching death, he cast his man
tie of leadership upon Dick Jackson, an
other Indian of the Mud Bay settle
ment, thus providing for the perpetual
ton of the Shaker religion.-Portland

LAST OF OLD cREMoRNE.
Site of the Famous London Garden "a
Be Built Upon.

he Built Upon.
About an acre and half of ground
in Chelsea, which has been used for
the past 20 years by w. ]. Bull, the or
child grower and nurseryman, has been
sold and is to be built upon. The piece
of ground possesses a history, and no
ordinary one, for it is part of the site
of old Cremorne. What recollections
must rise in the minds of those who
knew London and were acquainted
with London 20 or 25 years ago at the
mere mention of the word Cremorne!
1t is strange that there should be no
book dealing with this place, in which
was reflected for 30 years that which
was universally known as London
life" The doings at the gardens dur
ing these years must provide ample ma
terial.
1t was in 1s43 that Cremorne was
first opened as a place of entertain
ment. The programme was always
varied one, and the element OF sensa-
tion was always in request. Balloon
ing was the venture which never ceased
to attract, for it was conducted in those
days with more than the ordinary
amount Of danger. The number of hair
breadth escapes run by the aeronauts
was fearful. One would come TO smash
at Walthamstow one day; another
would go for little trip to Kent and
alight with more celebrity than grace
on the green of some sleepy village.
Cremorne had many manager, but
the one remembered best is Baum.
During his regime the place attained a
great reputation. No money was
spared to provide attraction, and it is
certain that the people who went there
enjoyed themselves to their hearts de-
sire. Any evening Cremorne was worth
a visit, but the time to see it at its best
was after some great event, such as the
boat race or the Derby.
"What q night" might have been
said with good reason then. There was
o leaven of what is carnivalesque about
It; there was an extra fastness in the
fun; anunusual spirit of gayety abroad.
License for extra time had been grant
ed and fresh arrivals came pouring in
until a very late hour. The theaters
and music halls all sent their audiences
down. Cremorne acted as a focus, so
to speak, and centralized all the scat
tered rays of revelry of the metropolis.
Clubites hired cabs and made their way
down to the gates with all possible
1 speed.
The end of Cremorne was in 1877.
| First of all, some one libeled Mr.. Baum
about the gardens, and there was an
action. Mr.. Baum got one-fourth pence
and had to pay his own costs. A few
months later Mr.. Baum made an appli-
cation for the renewal Of his license,
but the number of people who gave no
tice of opposition was so great that Mr..
Baum withdrew and the gardens peace
fully expired.
Such was Cremorne, and now the last
remnant reminding one of its former
glories is to be swept away.-London
Mail.

RUN BY NUMBERS.

In some local stores, where girls
are empoyed in large numbers, they
are not spoken of by their names, but
each has a particular number to desig
nate her. This is to prevent evilly-dis-
posed persons from taking the names
of the girls in vain when they cannot
get six-cent calico for five cents OF
twelve-cent lace for eight cents. In
other words, these girls have a home
and social life which they wish to keep
separate and distinct from their store
life. IL you go into one of these stores
you will hear one girl ask another:
mo. 10! No. 1Ol Have you any more
of those fifty-cent gloves?"
No. 10 raises her soft blue ewes.

American wives a source OF W onueE-
ment TO Foreign. Sisters.
Among Europeans of what are called
the upper classes much surprise is con-
stantly expressed at the freedom with
which American women travel unes-
corted through Europe. A recently re-
called American minister to a continen-
tai court was once asked by a court
official: "Haf American wifes no hus-
bands at all, then2 They come-three,
four, six at once to court. They ask to
be presented to the king; they ask to
be invited TO state dinnerss they must
walk in NIT q duke. There are not
dukes enough to go round. Why donot
their husbands come and walk in NIT
some duchesses?" At the Austrian
court no Americans outside of the diplo-
matte circle are presented; very few at
Berlin; while Queen Margherita of
Italy, who has been more hospitable to
our people than any other continental
sovereign, has recently declined to re-
ceive any married woman unaccom-
panied by her husband. "Have they no
homes in their own country, these poor

they spend months or years in Europe,
wandering about alone?" 1t was eX-
plainedto her that American men often
remained at home, earning the money
necessary to send their wives and
daughters abroad for the education
which foreign travel gives. IF that be
so" she replied "they viii study art
and languages hard, so as to return
quickly to those who work for them.
They will not buy costly clothes nor
push their way into every.court in Eu-

CRUSHED TO DEATH,
Otto INlatt Receives Fatal Injuries by
Accident.

Accident.
A fatal accident occurred yesterday after
noon about 400 O'Clock on the Golfer dam
around pier No. of the Aqueduct bridge
which Is being demolished, preparatory to
erecting a new and substantial masonry
structure, resulting in the death of the
foreman on the work, Otto Klatt, who was
the representative Of the Houston Con-
struction Company of Philadelphia the
contractors.
A large derrick is used for removing the
stone from the present pier. While lifting
a heavy stone the cable which operated
the derrick broke, and the heavy beam fell
downward. Foreman klatt happened to be
standing near the outer edge of the Golfer
dam and in the path of the falling timber
Before he could move he was struck on the
head and pinioned to the ground. There
were about twelve men employed on the
dam, and without loss of time the heavy
piece of timber was removed. a boat Sc
cured, and the injured man rowed to the
shore. The patrol wagon of the seventh
precinct took charge of the man then I'M
conscious. and drove hurriedly toward the
Emergency Hospital Death ensued a few
minutes after reaching the institution
An examination showed that Klatts skull
was crushed, a number of his ribs broken
and the upper bones of both his lower limbs
fractured. In addition there were a num-
Der of other minor injuries
The remains were removed to the under
taking establishment of John Mccarthy at
1885 NJ street. This morning shortly before
IL o'clock Coroner Carr visited the place.
and after hearing the statements of several
employees and viewing the remains, gave a
certificate of accidental death
The injured man was about forty years
of age and boarded at 1911 NJ street. So
far as known, he has no relatives in this
country, though mother and father are
supposed to be living in Germany. He was
a native Of Poland, and had been in this
country for several years. He had been
in Georgetown for over a year, working on
the damaged pier. He was employed dur
ing the winter in looking after the interests
Of his employers, and with the opening of
the spring had started in actively to COM
plete the contract. No arrangements have
been made up to noon for the funeral.
