Pensions for Civil Employees.
From the Now York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Members of the Association of Civil EN-
rloyes of the city of New York have be-
gun an agitation for legislation provid-
ing for the pensioning of employees who
have become old and infirm in the public
service. Replying to an appeal for his
support, Comptroller Grout wrote yester-
day to the local branch of the associa-
ton that while he did not care to COM
nit himself to any particular plan he
fa'ored the application of the pension
system to civil employees.
Such a measure" he wrote properly
conceived and executed, would result in
an improvement of the civil service of
the city, and would be an act of justice
TO those who contribute to the efficient
government of the city. The great cor
porations of the country are adopting
systems of pensions, purely for the pur-
pose of business advantage. The city of
New York should do so. not only for the
purpose of securing an Improvement of
service, which is now excellent but also
as matter of justice to its employees"

Biggest Herd of Buffaloes.

From the New York Herald.
The largest herd of buffaloes in the
world has just changed hands There are
| seventy-five of the animals in the bunch
the nucleus of which was I'VE small but
falo calves in 1882, when they were caught
on the great plains and placed in cap
tivity. AT that time the Dupree family
were hunting and captured the calves.
They were with an immense herd on the
Little Missouri river, and, after being
taken, were hauled in a wagon to the
Dupree ranch. They were carefully rear
ed; and after the first five years the in
crease has been very heavy, At different
times animals have been sold to menag-
cries and geological gardens throughout
the country, but in the main they have
been allowed TO roam at will over the
! l0O0-acre tract upon which they are con-
fined and, consequently. have lost none
OF their shyness where man is concerned
James w. Phillips, a wealthy ranch
man, has purchased the entire herd ana
has removed them TO his ranch, twenty
five miles above this town lie has en-
closed an immense tract of fine grazing
land with fence twelve feet high and
very strong The posts are placed three
feet from each other and every precau-
ton made to properly care for the big
animals.
Phillips, the new owner is himself one
of the characters of this part of South
Dakota. Coming to Dakota when a boy
Of lG. with nothing but the clothes on
his back, he is now a millionaire sew
eral times over, and has made success
of the cattle business. lie has been
resident of this country almost thirty
years and knows every man, woman and
child in it, His early life was replete
with adventures with Indians and out
laws, and while still young man he has
seen much life.
Just what he intends to do with his new
purchases is not clear. 1t is reported that
he intends to take the entire herd to the
Louisiana Purchase exposition at St.
Louis that being his scheme to attract
attention to South Dakota. From this
it is said he expects to sell thousands OF
acres of land which he owns but for
which there is no market at present.
This is by far the largest herd of buffa-
10 in existence, the second largest being
that owned by Buffalo Bill in the Big
Horn Basin of Wyoming. Here Colonel
Cody has herd of about forty buffaloes,
six or eight of which he takes with him
with his Wild West show
In the foothills of Montana Is located
the only herd of wild buffaloes known.
The band contains only twenty or twen-
ty-five animals and Is slowly decreasing
There is a strict rule against killing them
and they are not molested by hunters,
but occasionally a mountain wolf sue
ceeds in pulling down a calf or a heifer.
In this way the herd is gradually losing
ground, and within a few years will have
disappeared.
But the Dupree herd is fast gaining
in number. and within a few years Nh.
Phillips will have more buffaloes than he
knows what to do with.
