A MEMORY OF THE 40 CAMP.
The Mystery of apache George" Who
Was Killed on San Juan
Hill.

Many Chicagoans remember well that
odd collection of western types and
characters, which tlourished out on the
South side four years ago-"the 40
camp and many of the old camps
one-time visitors have often wondered,
in an idly curious way, what became
of the camps most romantic and pa
thetic character-"Apache George"
apache George''-nobody in the
camp knew him by any other name and
so the payroll bore his signature-was
combination of scout, Indian and
"bullwhacker." He had served under
Crook and Miles, he had lived with
red men, white men and MeXicans, and
he had driven stage coaches over the
Nevada plains. He used to shoot Gig
arettes from the mouth of his compan-
ion, or, by way of variety, flick them
away with a bullwhip % feet long
Aside from his midwest ACCOMPLISH
ments, he was gentle, lovable fellow,
everybody's friend and the most pop
ular individual in the camp.
His companion-his wife, he ever
young girl, whom he called Tex" and
whom he had taken away from some
wandering Apache tribe many years
before. She was evidently American
or very light Mexican, extremely
graceful and pretty, shy, quiet and
seemingly devoted to Apache George"
The pair, dressed in bucksllin and
sombrero. and wandering arm in arm
about the camp. were both picturesque
and handsome, fit for the cover-picture
OF regulation western story.
One day an actor-not cookbook
ing actor. either, but one of the cheap
and stilted breed-wandered into the
camp and met the buckskin-clad pair
in front of cabin. After that the
actor haunted the camp and spent in
terminable hours chatting with
Apache George" watching his feats of
craftsmanship and skill.
One morning TEX" was gone, the
actor, too. No man of old camp 40"
has seen either of them since. and their
fate and wherea bouts remain a mys-
terry.
N'NOi So sat dlOuho the camp lOE sew
eral days, quiet, moody, gazing at the
ground and the toes of his Apache moe
casins. One day he, too, was gone,
and the camp moved on its routine way
without him.
a few days ago a rough rider, Fred
Little by name, once a member of camp
'49, and wandering adventurer
through recent years, was walking
down Dearborn street, Chicago, leading
the famous mascot bulldog of the Roose-
welt regiment. An acquaintance stopped
him, and questioned him as to the fate
OF sundry people. Soon the conversa-
ton turned to apache George"
George was in the regiment" said
the rough rider. "Quietest man in the
whole outtit-never had a word to say
to anybody. just Rugged his gun and
sawed wood. Wouldn't talk about
anything-'TeN' last of all. When we
went up the hill he was in front of me.
He whirled around, and dropped Much
hurt, George said |. I hope so, Fred!'
said he, and never spoke again. He's
buried down there, and that was the
finish of Apache George!'"
Possibly TEX" has long forgotten
the Apache ritleman. Possibly he was
one of those men who can be set aside,
but can never be forgotten.-Ch Chicago

Mr.. BRYAN ON TRUSTS.
Faulty Logic and an Unbiushing Dis
regard of Facts.

Washington Star, In seeking
to make trusts and monopo1ies a
purely partisan question, Mr..
Bryan exhibits faulty logic and a
bold disregard of we'll established
facts. His position is that those
evils spring from protective tar
iff. and, laying that down, he
then insists that the only way to
exterminate them is to dismiss
from the power party of pro-
lection.
That is a misstatement of the
case. The country has always
thriyed under a protective tariff.
1t is thriving under one today.
Trusts and monopolies are an
abuse of the opportunities of good
times. The aim should be to de-
stroy not the good times, but
but these rank growths that
spring from them. A rich soil
always produces rauk growths;
but the wise gardener never pro-
ceeds to impoyerlsh his soil to get
rid of them. He keeps his soil as
rich as possible, and grubs up by
the roots everything objection
able that it nourishes.
After saddling the blame, Mr..
Bryan then proceeds:
Tho republican par ty is impotent to
destroy the trusts. It is controlled by
those who are interested in trusts, and
its campaign funds and sinews of war
are supplied by the trusts.
It is not impo1ite to character
ize this as buncombe pure and
simple. Everybody knows, Mr..
Bryan included, that the trusts
contribute money to the campaign
committees of both parties.
Their officials have so declared
under oath. Trusts have no
politics. Democrats and republi-
cans unite in organizing and
operating them. Throughout all
the east, where the trusts are
strong, as many democrats as re-
publlcans are found IN their
ranks and pocketing their profits.
And, for that matter, Mr.. Bryan
overlooks the somewhat pertinent
fact that "the campaign funds
and the sinews of war" for his
own presidential race were large
1y supplied by the silver trust.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 80, '99.
The administration has bowed
to the inevitable and issued nee
essary orders to enlist volunteers
at all of the regular recruiting
Offices, and decided that Gen.
Otis shall haye men enough at
the close of the present rainy
season in the Philippines to crush
Aguinaldo in short odrer. No
organizations will be enlisted,
and the regiments will be known
as Z. S. Volunteers, not as state
troops, as was the case with the
regiments which volunteered for
the war with Spain. The prin-
cipal reason given by the officials
for adopting this course is that
the president shall have the ap-
pointment of all officers, and he
has announced his intention to
appoint them as far as possible
from among the officers of the
volunteer regiments which have
seen service in the Philippines
and are about to be mustered out.
This isn't pleasant to the politi-
cans who have friends seeking
commissions, but if it be honest
1y carried out, it will be endorsed
by the country. which cares more
about the efficiency Of the yolun-
teers than about the personnel of
their officers. If, however, IT
turns out to be dodge to get rid
of one set of politicians and favor
another set, it will cause trouble.

A MILE In 81 4-5 SECONDS.
Wonderful Ride of a Kings County Wheel.
man on Long Island.

man on Long Island.
New York. June 3O.--Charles f.
Murphy, OF the Kings County Wheel
men, rode mile on a bicycle paced by
locomotive, in 81 As seconds. His
course was two mile board track on a
siding Of the Long Island railroad.
Murphy followed an engine and day
coach. the latter being provided with
a hood, which acted as a wind shield
for the rider. The board track was
laid near haywood. L. T., and extended
from that station two miles east, and
was as nearly level as skill could make
it. Fully 5000 people saw Murphy
make his daring ride. The engine
started at a rapid rate and before 400
yard had been traYersed was running
at rate of more than fifty miles an
hour. Murphy was keeping we'll with
in the hood. AS they neared the be-
ginning OF the mile stretch the pace
was a mile minute. and cloud of
dust obscured the rider from the view
of the spectators, who lined the banks
on either side. On being asken how
he liked the speed Murphy, in reply to
an inquiry, said: "I'm all right. send
her along" but there was no necessity
for his remarks regarding speed, as the
engineer was sending the big steam
flyer along at top speed.
Those on the back platform, who
watched Murphy all through his won
derful ride, stated that the riders
handle bar had knocked against the
rubber buffer at least six times, and
each time the concussion sent him
back at least six feet, but Murphy had
the strength to regain the distance.
During the last quarter of mile the
rider cover the ground for the greater
part fully a wheels length outside of
the hood, but as he passed the finish
he was close up. just then two strong
men on board the train reached down
and seized the rider by either arm and
lifted him aboard the car in safety.
Their action undoubtedly saved Muir
phys life, because he was in such a
weak condition that had he been allow
ed to remain on the wheel he would
have been unable to control it, and
serious if not fatal accident might have
happened.
Murphy was carried to the front part
of the car and laid on cot where q
physician administered to him, and in
less than FIVE minutes the cyclist was
able converse with those around
him. Murphy seemed dazed at first
and said in answer to queries as to why
he fell back SO many times: "I did
that so 1 might not come in contact
with the planks which were being torn
up in front of me-"
Before the train had reached Baby
Ion, Murphy had regained his normal
condition.
Murphy rode 2S-inch wheel. geared
to 120, with 64 crank hangers. and the
weight of the machine was 2O4 pounds.
