TESTING A GUN.

old-timer.
I'VE were out on an exploring trip
when we ran across Muskwa's band.
Among the Indians was a big half
breed called Joel Piskwe. He was a
native born CRATER and when he
found that he could not beg. borrow or
steal our tobacco and whiskey he pro-
ceeded to bargain for little. We were
all tenderfeet and had the usual Gu
riosity of this species of human be-
ings as to the legends and doings of
the Indians, so we arranged with Big
Joe to have a seance that night in
Muskwa's wigwam.
The scene was really impressive
and not untinged with romance. on
one side OF the fire sat the aged
chief on pile of bear skins and blan-
kets. around him were seated the sub
chiefs and warriors, and facing him
the young men and boys of the tribe.

themselves outside the tepee. they not

CARY ATTEMPTS A DEFENSE.
Again Refers to questionable"
House Party of Mrs. Winn.

& Atlanta, Aug. 20.-Rev. Clement C.
Cary, the we'll known Methodist min
lister who figured in a sensational cpl
sode at Lawrenceville. where it is
stated that Latham r. Vim slapped
his face, has written signed state
ment in which he reviews the incidents
leading up to the assault, giving in de-
tail his version of the affair.
In his statement Mr.. Cary denies
emphatically that he insulted any lady
or ladies who attended the
VIM house party, but reaffirms
the language he used in his sermon.
He refers to the questionable
house party" given by Mrs. Winn,
and states that many Objectionable
things occurred there. He says that
these same things which he had ref
erence to and which he says can be
put in print, if necessary, were admit
ted by two men who had attended the
party.
Mr.. Cary uses red-hot language in
speaking of Latham r. Winn, who
struck him. He repeatedly calls him
a cowardly ruffian, a brute and other
epithets. He denies that his face was
slapped. and says that Winn only
struck him light blow behind the
ear at a time when he could not de-
fend himself. He says that he de-
nounced Winn as "cowardly ruff1an"
at the time, and that Winn took his
medicine as if he were used to 1t.

London, Aug. 20.-King Edward has

Sir Frederick Pollock, Leslie Stephen

The institution of the new acanemy,
together with the creation of the re-

striking experiment on the part of the
King and has provoked considerable
comment and comparison to the
French Academy, which, ii is recalled.

described by the white men. All that
winter the Chi2pewas hunted and
trapped for fur as they never had
before, and in the spring great packs
of pelts lay in the head chiefs wig
wan. Two great war canoes were
built by the squaws and a band Of
picked men was sent away to find the
traders.
My grandfather was great hum
ter and he went along with heavy
packs of beaver skins that he had got
during the winter. Late in the fall
the canoes returned and they brought
with them many wonderful things
from the traders but only one gun No
more could be obtained, and only about
could be bought. To procure this
gun beaver skins had to be piled UP
alongside of it on one side until the
muzzle of the gun when rested with
its butt end on the floor, and mink,
usher, marten and other skins had to
be similarly piled upon the other side.
My grandfather had enough peltry
to do this, and he 1t was who obtained
the much coveted gun.
The Indians then held a great
dance and feast, and the proud owner
of the ~un demonstrated how 1t was
loaded and fired off. As the powder
flashed amid the smoke and roar of the
discharge. the Indians fell on their
faces trembling with fear, but, seeing
that no harm followed the alarming
explosion, they were clamorous for a
further demonstration as to the use
of the piece for destroying their re-
lentless foes, the Sioux.
The gun was loaded this time with
a bullet and then target was sought

Away near the shore OF the lake
sat an old squaw upon a rock She
was so old that she had no relations
or friends left. She was nearly blind,
and had lost all her teeth, and during
the coming winter she must have been
left upon the trail to die. So it was
decided by the chiefs that the gun
should be tried upon her. Silently my
grandfather crept up behind the old
woman and when about twelve PAGES
he fired the charge into her back. She
fell off the rock, kicked once or twice,
and then lay dead. Thus We're the
people shown the power of the ''bost-
ingnagen, or thunder stick of the
white men, and greatly did they mar

hearing could be had in court. This
was granted in Judge Mullins order.
G. F. Bartlett is secretary of the
Victor Fuel Company and, although
he ayers this move is made of his own
volition, it is understood. nevertheless,
that he is acting in the interest of
John c. OsgoQd, who is said to DE with
out sufficient stock to elect a board
and who, it is alleged, wants the mat
ter postponed until such time as he
can acquire other stock. Mr.. Osgood is
also more than anxious to be relieved

litigation until a compromise shall be
effected. The Gates people disaVow any
with Mr.. Bartlett or knoWl-
edge of his move.
The effect of this injunction will be
to stop the fight until the injunction
shall be dissolved, either by an answer
made to it, or by a higher authority
than the district court.

BITTER AGAINST TRUSTS.

WetmOre Introduces Strong ResoIu-
uons-J. j. Hill Speaks of Trade
with the Orient.
st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 20.-F. H.
Thurber of New York furnished the
sensation at the Trans Mississippi
Congress yesterday; 1t was Moses c.
Wetnlore Of the Missouri delegation
to-day who adopted exactly opposite
tactics to those taken by Mr.. Thur
her. Mr.. Thurber could see no harm
in trusts, and in fact doubted If any
existed while Mr. Wetmore and an
other Missouri delegate, who have de-
cided convictions on the subject, in
troduced some strong antitrust reso-
lutions, which were referred.
President ]. j. Hill, of the Northern
Securities Company. was introduced
at the afternoon session, his subject
being "Our Trade With the Orient"
From the opening of Japan to for
eign trade. he said, her trade has in
creased ten-fold. He discussed the
prospective trade with the Chinese
people, whom he regarded as more en-
terprising and of better business ca
pacity than the Japanese.
Lack of adequate transportation ia
clities, he said, greatly hindered
trade. All European countries go
across two oceans to reach that trade
which they greatly desire, while we
need cross but one. He gave briefly
his idea of the great devel-
opment of American trade
with the Far East in recent
years. The shortest and cheapest route
from the cotton fields to the Orient is
by way of Puget Sound. He told in
some detail of the plans now under
way to handle this growing traffic.
AS low rates can be given across the
Pacific from any point in the United
States, as now prevail from New York
via the Suez canal.
Speaking of the proposed isthmian
ship canal, Mr.. Hill declared he would
not oppose it's construction at an ex-
pense of even $500 900, 900, but, in his
opinion, s35,000,000 to $40, 000,0 900 spent
in deepening the channel of the Mis-
eissippi between New Orleans and st.
Louis, would give far better results in
the end AS to money spent on the
improvement on the upper waters of
that same river, he thought it would
be much better invested in irrigating
the arid regions of the great West.
In discussing the trade which the
railroads and steamship lines would
best be able to carry to the Orient, he
argued that that which would
strengthen commercial relations quick
est would be the most profitable in
Yest1nent, insisting that chief attention
should be paid to the farm products
throughout the entire Western coun-
try.

A DEFICIT IN GERMANY.

Budgets.


Berlin, Aug 2O.-The final figures of
the imperial treasury operations for
the year which ended March 81, pub
lished to-day, show a deficit from the
budget estimates of $l2,125, 000 due TO
shrinkage of the receipts amount
ing to about $6,75O,00O and increased
expenditures totalling about $5,250, 900,
OF which army and navy pensions
footed up $3,6s7,500 while the army
mad $62b,O0O and the navy 100000 ex-

The increased receipts from some
items were swallowed up by $500, 900
falling off in the stamp taxes, nearly
all of which was from diminished
bourse transactions, traceable to the
general financial depression.
The deficit will be met out of the
winters loan and the shortage since

terms. expressed his disapproval of
factional differences in the Republican
party. Cecil A. Lyon, chairman of the
Republican State Committee of Texas,
called upon him and presented his side
OF the controversy which has arisen
among the Republicans of Texas.
The President stated to him with
the utmost emphasis that no man had
any authority to speak for the Presi-
dent as regards Texas matters. that
the President was taking no side for
or against man or any faction among
the Texas Republicans, that as a
matter OF fact. he was ex-
ceedingly impatient with those
Republicans who went into fractional
divisions, and that in any such states
as Texas or Virginia, or in any other
state in which the Republican party is
In a minority, but yet had a chance
TO do something he felt the credit
would fall to those Republican lead
ers VINO were able to make a good
showing at the polls, especially for
congressional candidates, and not to
those who spent their time plotting
how they could get delegates or receive
offices. He told Lyon that he could ex-
plain this to all Texas Republicans of
every faction.
Mr.. Roosevelt also told him that If
ever in any such Southern state a
Republican congressman was elected
1t would amount to far more in his
mind than anything which could be
done in the way of offices, and he felt
That there was little need of recogni-
ton for an organization which existed
only for offices and delegates.
1t was learned that Mr.. Roosevelt
told Chairman Babcock of the con-
gressional committee, when the latter
visited him few days ago, that he
was profoundly disseminated With the
Virginia Republican organization for
not making a resolute effort to elect
Republican congressman FROM the
western districts CT Virginia, ana that
he felt that an organization which did
not try to develop the fullest party
strength at the polls had no claims
upon him.

LoURDEs SPRING EXHAUSTED.
Water Now Secretly Brought I'm
Pipes From Neighboring Cave.

From the New York World.
Paris, Aug. 16.-Louis Probst. a
government engineer, asserts that the
most of the wateS. used to heal the pill
grims at Lourdes does not flow from
the grotto where the Virgin is said to
have appeared, but is brought from
a river in a nelghbering cave through
subterranean pipes. said to have been
secretly laid by monks years ago.
Engineer Probst occupies a high po-'
'sition here, and is firm believer in
the Roman Catholic religion. A year
ago he took his wife. who was afflicted
with a malady the doctors had pro-
nounced incurable, TO Lourdes, expect
ing cure by miracle. but as soon
as she plunged into the tank she died.
While the arrangements for her
funeral were being made the engineer
spent several days in observation. He
noticed that the water used In the
bottling department did not taste like
that in the grotto. and 1t occurred to
him that the enormous quantities con-
sumed could not be furnished by the
scant grotto spring.
Afterward he got authority from the
government to investigate. and now he
has made a report in which he gives a
chart of underground channels and
analyses showing different chemical
elements in the waters.
