AFTER MANY YEARS.
Ne, Perce Scouts Just Receiving Their Pay
From the Government.

Through the Office of the commissioner
If Indian affairs, Indian Agent Stranahan
received last week draft for $4,577 with
which to pay the Indian scouts employed
n, the L. S. government to assist General
n O. Howard during the Nez Perez war of
~. So often has the attempt been made to
secure this money for the Indian scouts
that when Agent Stranahan commenced
nreparng affidavits and taking testimony
N substantiate their claims last winter,
several of them refused to testify, having
lost all confidence i'll the former promises
If the government. Indian scouts have
always proven very valuable in all Indian
outbreaks and no less so in the war of
1877. One of the requirements of the
government was that each scout should
furnish his own horse and many borrow
ed horses with the understanding that
they shonll pay for the same when they
received their pay from the government.
Although outlawed I6 years these Indians
are cheerfully paying these obligations.
Of the al scouts IS are dead and their
heirs are enjoying the belated payment
for their services. During this war one
scout was killed, one wounded and four
captured by the hostiles. This belated
recognition of these Indian services is the
result of Senator Shoups efforts in their
behalf he having closely followed the
appropriation to cover the same through
both houses.

Deductions Therefrom.
One evening. several weeks ago.
a group or racehorse men were chat
ting in the st. Charles rotunda, when
one OF the party produced miniature
silver dice box. which he had picked
up somewhere as a curiosity. It con-
tanned three tiny but perfectly made
dice. I'm superstitious about this
box" said the owner, smilingly. II
believe it brings me good luck" Well,
just to cure you of that idea" said
horseman from St. Louis. IN bet you
SO / can beat you throwing the dice
The proposition was accepted, and the
owner Of the box threw three fours.
which, oddly enough, were also thrown
by the man from st. Louis. Upon that
a dispute arose, the ST. Louis turfman
claiming that the tie should be
thrown off, and the other man that
he had won, because his hand had not
been beaten. Some of those present
took one side and some the other. and.
after a heated argument, it was agreed
to leave the question to a New York
daily newspaper regarded as an au-
thority on sports. Here is the way
the question was stated: "A bets
he can beat him throwing dice. B bets
he can not. Result tie. Who wins?"
On Sunday the answer was printed,
as follows: Neither. When B takes
AS bet he virtually bets that he can
beat A." Upon this decision the
money was handed over. not only on
the original bet, but on several side
wagers afterward made 1t did not
end the argument, however but, on
the contrary, started 1t afresh. and it
still RACES. Most local authorities dis
agree squarely with the New York
referee. The decision was all wrong"
said veteran New Orleans sportsman.
Here is the case in nutshell: A
says to B. ri bet you $40 | can beat
you in a throw of dice B accepts
the wager and throws three fours.
Now the only way in which A can
make good his original assertion that
he could beat B is TO throw something
better than three fours. He said beat
you remember. not equal you. He
then throws 4 duplicate hand, which
certainly does not beat but is merely
a standoff, consequently he loses.
That is as plain as the nose on an ele-
phant the paper says that in taking
the wager B virtually bets he can beat
a. He does nothing of the sort. He
bets that A can't beat him-quite

Fresh Air for con.umpti,e Patients.

In the London Hospital for consump-
tion the basis Of treatment is rest in
the open air, graduated exercise, and
good feeding. No window in the open
air wards Is ever closed. and during
the cold weather the consumptive pa
tients are kept warm with extra cloth
ing and artificial heat 1t is encourag-
ing to note that practically all the
early cases and 10 per cent OF all cases
improve considerably under the open
air system. 1t is not uncommon for
patients to enter the hospital with ex-

Big River Gut Through Granite and


Big River tut Through Granite ana
Grave.
The main drainage channel is in part
cut through solid rock and in part
through glacial drift, the total amount
OF excavation involved being 26,26l ,slo
cubic yards of glacial drift and T.
U6.5si cubic yards Of solid rock Inc
rock cuttings are about 100 rect wide
at the bottom, with nearly vertical
walls. The excavations through the
sections with n prepgnderance of hard
material provide Tor a flow of 6oo,oOO
cubic feet of water per minute, or
rate of flow sufficient for the require
ments of a population Of 100000
people, which is about double the
present population OF the district. The
narrower channel that has been cut
through the more easily handled ma
terial provides for flow of 100000
cubic feet per minute, and can easily
be enlarged by simple methods of ex-
cavation as the growth of the popu-
lation demands. II is claimed that the
canal will be navigable for any craft
drawing less than twenty-five feet of
water.
While the canal is primarily designed
to carry off the waste of great city.
the projectors of the enterprise have
not been blind to the commercial pos
sibilities of free waterway from Chi
cago to the Mississippi. Itis estimated
that the expense " the excavations
and retaining walls already provided
for by the SANITARY district constitutes
nearly two-thirds Of the entire cost
of such a ship channel, and it is
hoped that the general government,
which has done SO much to improve
the Mississippi river may eventually
be induced TO undertake the compile
tion of the channel construction.
Should this plan ever be executed,
large steamers will be able TO make
their way from the great lakes TO the
Gulf of Mexico and the commerce of
the whole Mississippi valley will be
greatly stimulated and enlarged

DAUGHTERS OF ACTRESSES.

Designs Costumes.

Designs Costumes.
The daughters of famous actresses
rarely go upon the stage. This may be
because they have no inclination that
way. or because their careful mammas
refuse to countenance any such ambi-
ton. Lillian Russelrs daughter is be-
ing educated in a convent; Mrs. Lang
try keeps her beautiful Jean apart from
stage life, and Ellen Terry's daughter,
Ailsa Craig. has settled down to de-
signing costumes. She did think of
becoming an actress, but Miss Terry
successfully steered her thoughts in
another direction and let her down by
easy stages, for when the idea of be-
ing an actress was reluctantly aban-
doned a concert pianist was the next
goal Ailsa aimed for. Even that in
time was given up, and now the design
ing of lovely gowns for stage wear will
take up her time. 1t is good idea,
for any artistic inspiration which may
be lurking in Miss Craig's heart and
mind can find embodiment in crea-
tions of lace and gauze, jewels and
satin.
