SALLY, THE WASHMAN.
Once an Indian Brave. but Degraded
 Because He Was a Coward,

Sally was afl outcast.
 Sally was i man. though no one ! would have thought 1t.
 We never Knew Sally's real name or where he lived. It was rumored that his home was in one of the deserted tunnels so nuifferous in the mountains around Virginia City. He was not al-
 lowed to live in a wigwam with the
 other Indians or to build one for him self.
 To the children he was a veritahle
 bugbear They lad never seen his face,
 being too afraid to go near him, and,
 besides he always wore a large sun
 bonnet, which hid his features from
 the gaze of the curious,
 Poor Sally (strange to relate) was our
 washerwoman, to be more exact. our
 washman. When he came, early Mon
 day morning, his appearance was
 enough to strike terror to our chilish
 hearts He was very tall and wore the
 usual dress, of Indian women, or
 squaws-a long full skirt and traight jacket, uually made of pink calico, of
 which color they are very fond, His skirt was rather longer than customary
 to hide his feet-which were very large, and as he generally wore cast off boots given him by the miners the sun bonnet, which seemed part of himself, was never taken off, even when he was busy over the wash tub. He was quite skillful with the needle and his costume looked and fitted az well as most of the sauaws' costumes did
 He was in great demand ae a wash man. He seemed never to grow tired, but his chief attraction for the house. wife was that he had no family or friends to be entertained and no ham kering for our fine underlinen.
 Sally had not always been the poor, forlorn creature he was now. Years ago he was a f1ne-looking brave of the Pah-ute tribe of Indians, and quite beau among the Mahalys. Now he was deserted by kith and kin, entirely unno- ticed, even by the children; for sally had been a coward, the most disgrace full thing in the eyes of an Indian.
 Sally belonged to the Ivashoe Pah- utes, and they, having quarreled with one of the neighboring tribes, met to fight 1t out He was chief of his tribe and was gorgeousy dressed in an old tovepipe hat and pair of sailors trou- sers. His face and the upper part of his body was covered with vermillion paint tripod with white. Each warri- pr was armed with knife or club. They were all lined up for battle. when Sally turned and ignominiously fled. Of ,ourse he was quickly captured. The quarrel was forgotten. The Indians of both sides held a council to decide his 'ate He was condemned to wear wo- mems clothes and do women's work the est of his days. When the sentence lad been pronounced they formed into | ] long line, stripped him of his finery 1 md compelled him to run the gauntlet. | He was beaten and insulted in every l possible way and at last left Sor dead. | He disappeared and was not seen until | months arfterward, when he appeared | n Virginia City in his new uniform loing the family wash. Sally had just me consolation in his new life. He did | lot have to give up all his earnings to he husband as all squaws are com elled to do.-Los Angeles imTes.

was at it's height" In 1876 he secured a bicycle, on which he rode ten thou sand miles, when, in 1884, he discarded it for the present machine, which now glitters with some of the original nickel plate. On it he has ridden over twen- ty-six thousand miles, and sees no req son to discard it in favor of the more modern pattern. And if the spectacle amuses London, London's amusement, in its turn, amuses him.-London ChrOnicle

Tim Murphy.

Tomorrow night Tim Murphy will be the attraction at the Jefferson Theater, ap- bearing in "A Bachelors Romance" In speaking fthe performance given by MT. Murphy of the part of David Holmes the Memphis Commercial-Appeal of January 22 said:
 MT Russell was seen in the part of Dav- i'd Holmes ,and everyone remembered the actor we'll, and remembers also the dainty touch he gave it. MT Murphy is therefore confronted with the knowledge that one of the best factors in America ha spreceded him and that his must be a new work not to incur comparisons of an unpleasant charac- ter This is said in order that every one may have full appreciation of the merit ed success he enjoys. In great many respects MT. Murphy rises superior to MT. Russell as David Holmes This is especi- ally true in the scenes with Sylvia The romance is more artistically developed Throughout there is similar show of feel ing and the same instinctive emotions punc- tuate both, but MT. Murphy is no sense plays the part as did his predecessor. He Is following a conception of his own. His quaint individuality shows itself from the moment he appears on the stage. The hu- nor is more cordially developed, the lone interest more evenly sustained. He may never need fear comparison at the hands oi the public because with his art he rises superior to such necessity and must be criticised for his own artistic conception and portrayal of the role alone. It was a performance which appealed directly to nat ural sympathies and was thoroughly ap- preciated

Two Notable Veterans.

On the 9th of March, 1877, John T. Morgan of Alabama and George F. Hoar Of Mas sachusetts took their seats as members Of the United States Senate The one was in his ffty-thrd, the other in his hfty -iirst year. Both were lawyers of distinction and Mr. Hoar had seen some years or ser vice as a member of the House of Repre- sentatives. Both at once took high rank as senators. Both have remained contin- uously in commission ever since. Tne otner day the credentials of MT. Morgan Tor a fifth term were presented to the Senate, and very shortly now, the Massachusetts legislature having virtually decided to make him his own successor, the same pleasant duty will be performed for MT. Hoar. Both men in their seventies are in fine condition, full of energy and active in the investiSa- tion and discussion of current questions, and with every prospect of filling out to their own comfort and the country's ad- vantage the new terms upon which on the 9th of March next they will enter
 The Senate, say the pessmists, is not the strong body that it used to be. It has sad ty deteriorated. Its glory has departed It Is the home no longer of learning or elo- Quence. The giants if permitted to revisit the scene of their triumphs would be filled with sorrow at the change. The country feels it. Legislation shows 1t. Nothing is left .lt humdrum and routine; and the cus- toms which have become necessary since the body was converted into the million aires club" are reflection on the Amer ican body polite.
 These two men alone refute that charge Each would have adorned the Senate as they now adorn 1t, at any period of its ex- istence. Each is man of wide reading, of fine discrimination, of choice power of expression, of full knowledge of the law. of an extensive acquaintance among the pick of the land, and large experience in public business. Each is a man of dignity, And the personal character of both is, and has always been, far above the slightest suspicion. Neither possesses a fortune Both live modestly. Both are hard work Ars and both are heard, and are expected to be heard, on all the more important questions that come before Congress. They differ in opinion very widely; but each has the courage of his convictions, and both add to the interest of any discussion in which they participate.
 The states which continue such men in office honor themselves and serve the coun- try. The bare threat last year of retiring Gr Morgan brought out national protest, end the little there was ip the threat soon 4happeared when the people of Alabama Affected ubon what that pfotest meant.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Broadhurst's farce comedy, What Hap pened to Jones'" was the attraction at the Jefferson Theater at matinee yesterday and again last night ,and gave satisfaction to both audiences, which were rather small. The play is fcourse based on a ridiculous sto- ", but at its conclusion the audience Is impressed with the fact that Jones" got off rather light. The cast was good every role being well filled. MT. Daily as Jones was clever, and his support fully equal to the light task Miss Otis as Cissy and Miss Shaw as Marjorie deserve special mention.

"GHoST OF THE CAGE"
Strange Optical Illusion That Causes
 Most Elevator Accidents.

From the Memphis Scimitar.
 Scimdtar man ran across a party of Memphis men in the office of the Arlington, and, strange to say, they were talking about the same thing-elevator accidents. One of the party was contending that it was due to carelessness on the part of the victims, but all did not agree on this.
 In the party engaged in this discussion was Engineer Ed Cheatham of the city en- gineer's corps. who took up the talk.
 ''There's nothing so very strange about the Cleveland accidents" said he casual ay. "Those men thought they were step- ping onto the elevator; in fact, they saw the elevator in the shaft at the time. Those men came to their deaths through an opti- cal illusion-nothing more. Every year there are hundreds of elevator accidents, and very few of them are from the break ing of cables or brakes. The majority Of the cases on record can be traced to this one fact. The victim stepped into the shaft Now, why on earth would sane man do such thing? Why, lie simply thought he saw the elevator car in its &C., customed place, and when he stepped on what he thought was solid floor he went to his death. The first of these remarka- ble elevator accidents that was ever mo- ticed came to light in the mining regions of Colorado.
 .'Years ago was out in that section of the country engineering for different com panies, and in regard to these accidents l speak from what l actually saw. The first accident of this kind ever heard Of was in one of the deep silver mines of Lead ville Colo. One of the oldest men in the employ of the company, man who had been following mining for half his life, and knew this mine as he knew the streets of Leadville, ran a car of ore over the edge of the shaft on the third level and was dragged down to the bottom with it. He was mortally injured, but before he died he told the doctor that he saw-the cage at the shaft
 Since that time there have been any number of accidents of like nature Tn the mines out west. Sometimes the victims were all killed at once, but those who sur vived always swore that they saw the cage. I have talked to old miners, and they say they dread nothing more than the ghost of the cage They say that it comes to men who have worked their lives in the mines In fact, the longer a man has worked in a deep mine the more apt is he to see the ghost of the cage
 "So, taking it all together, l firmly be- lieye that those who lose their lives by stepping into open elevator shafts really see the elevator car. It is one of the most fatal optical illusions in the world, but such it must be. The victim has become accustomed to seeing the cage at the shaft when he needs it, and the picture of 1t IS fixed on his brain. When the fatal step In taken that sends him to death he really sees it there-the ghost of the cage"
