FAMOUS INDIAN DYING.
Red Cloud Will Soon Join His De-
 parted Warriors.

w aShlnRtOn IOSt.
 Red Cloud, the famous Indian warrior and chief of the Sioux, lies dying at his home in Pine Ridge Agency, S. D. Phys- clans have no hope of saving the old chieftain's life, and the end is expected at any time
 Although at one time lord of all Kan sas, Nebraska, Dakota and parts of Iowa, Wyoming and Montana, Red Cloud is now almost destitute. The small piece of land that was given him by the govern ment when the Indians were placed on the Dakota reservations has gradually been sold, until today only about ten acres remain. A few months ago, think ing that his death was near, Red Cloud called his children around him and divid- ed his property, including $500 in cash. But death did not come as soon as he eX- pected. and now he Is almost dependent on charity.
 Red Cloud in his time was one of the most successful, daring savage chiefs of the great Sioux Nation. During the hos tilities waged so brutally on the plains against the encroachment of the whites, his name was the dreaded one on every emigrant's tongue.
 This great chieftain was horn in ob- scurity, but by his force of will, intelr gence and bravery he became in time the leader of his people. The story Is told of | It seems that a well-known warrior of his tribe was jealous of Red Cloud and with his six followers waylaid the young | brave. Two were with rifles and the oth- CTS carried bows and arrows. Red Cloud was armed with a Winchester, and though wounded at the first fire, he suc- ceeded in killing all of his assalants Soon followers gathered around him, and | as wars broke out with the whites thes, l followers increased in number. He be- came a member of the various secret so- | cietles and went through the fearful | agony and torture of the sun dance
 After the Feterman massacre GS66) he | refused to meet the Special Peace Com
 mission or to sign any treaty. Instead he declared war against the whites. and
 called to his aid the dissatisfied Indians
 of the various tribes. Then came the
 Fort Phil Kearney massacre. in which
 the Indians were led by Red Cloud, who showed the greatest bravery and daring

ISIGNIA OF ARMY.
Marks That Officers and Men Bear That Tell at Glance Their Rank
 and Arm of Service.

New York Advertiser.
 Although the general order prescribing the New Uniform for the soldiers of the United states regular army was issued year ago last July and went into effect on the first of the year, the meh one sees about the streets are still clad in the traditional blue. But that is because there Is still a supply of such cloth on hand and the Government economically de- termined to use 1t up. The enlisted men do not get new suits until their old ones are worn out.
 Tn some months time we will no longer see the lads in army blue. They will wear the hl,,e only on dress occasions; on service they will wear olive drab and on fatigue duty they will wear brown cotton duck. On some occa- sions in tropical service they will wear uni form of white cotton duck.
 The htrtpea on the trousers of the non-com- nisstoned officers are of the following coors; Cavalry yellow; artillery scarlet; infantry light blue; engineers. scarlet piped with white; ordnance black piped with scarlet; post quar- terntaater serkeaIits, buff: the hospital corps maroon piped with white; the signal corps, orange. sereeants' stripes one inch wide A ooruoral wears a stripe half an inch wide, Musicians wear two stripes each half an inch wide.
 Thus by the color one can tell the arm of the service fin which the enlisted man serves and the stripe shows his rank By the dress cap one can tell at a glance the regiment and oom- pany of the enlisted man. also his arm. Thus the icavalryman wears crossed sabers; the artilleryman crosed cannon; the infantryman,

HOW TO GET RICH.
A Lesson Drawn from the Life of an
 Eccentric Multi-millionaire.

6SSOhI1AS
 New York News.
 The recent appearance at his boyhood home of Stephen B. Roath, an eccentric millionaire. has drawn the eyes of the world to the pretty town of Norwich. Conn. just at the head of navigation on the Thames River. To the place where he was born and where most of his rela- tives still live. he suddenly returns, laden with wealth, which he proceeds to share in lavish style with his poor but proud and induStrious kinsfolk
 What seems of particular interest in he incident is not the fact of his wealtlI or the manner in which he uses 1t. but the methods he had adopted in acquiring so vast fortune for he had millions left despite his generosity. Mir Roath says that all that Is necessary for any young man to secure competency is that he shall work hard, spend little, save much. and invest in something folks will eat"
 This simple advice is given by a second David Harum. Roath began as grocer 8 clerk at $6 a month, but he saved half his meager wages. He went to Chicago in 1855. when that town was getting ready to grow, He spread his sails to the favoring breeze, and with the counsel and aid of such men as Armour and Letter and Nell son Morris he has reaped his reward.
 But during all these years-he is now seventy y-four-Roath has never forgotten for moment the importance of being in earnest in whatever he had to do. He ran the risk of being thought mean and stngy, in order to save, but he did save. He worked as hard, if not harder when he had half a million dollars out at in- terest as he did when he was slaving as clerk for 25 cents day. Intense earn | estness and persistence, combined with opportunity and wise advice. have made of Stephen Roath a multi-millionaire. The same traits and methods will win for most young men at least competence.
 The curse of America today Is spend thrift living Save the pennies; save the dollars; save time. the most precious oi all, next to health. The day will come when you will thank the man who put you on this right road to independence and ease

 MEDICINE FOR ALL MANKINl

with 6 mind always in a high state or tension, and constantly thirsing for in- formation, is 1t any wonder that the strain was too much, and that partial in- sanity should have resulted? He was a victim of monomania; apparently sound on all other subjects, he gradually came to believe himself titled nobleman. heir to a vast estate, and the possessor Of unbounded wealth. He spent the last few weeks of his life preparing for that change in his mode of livng which he confidently expected to take place. His condition was pitiable. when we think of his diseased brain, conjuring up visions of princely luxuries and wealth, and gid ing the future with al the charms Of happy, joyous life; and then remember his hard struggle for an education, and the sacrifices that both he and his par elts were forced to make because of ab- solute poverty.
 Professor Schaefer had many friends i1 Linden and other portions of this State, who deeply deplore his death. Quiet and unassumins, gentlemanly and cour- teous, he was an addition to the citizen ship of Marengo County, and an orna- ment to his profession.
 "The many letters that have received from Morris, Harvard, Prattville and Baldwin County. all bear testimony to the purity of his life, and the nobility of his character From a most intimate acduaintance with him. I can truthfully say that have never known more con- sistently moral man, or one who more clearly exemplified in his daily walk and conduct the deep convictions of his sim pie faith. Pure and chaste in thought, upright in character. and invariably kind and charitable in his opinions and 3udg- ment of his fellow men, he sought to ben eft all with whom he came in contact, and was believe, incapable of any harm to any one. Possessed of voice of un- usual power and sweetness. he soon won his way into the homes and hearts On occasions of joy and festivity. he was a conspicuous figure, and then in those other times, when affliction came among
 us, and we met to pay the last sad rites to some departed loved one. his songs carried with them cheer and comfort, and | the tender melody of his voice brought
 consolation to the hearts of many whc
 were deeply bowed In grief. And now that sorrow and affliction have come to those whom he loved. feel sure that all | who knew him, join with me in extend- | ing a deep and sincere sympathy to his | bereaved wife and relatives

disburse the riches she inherited in do- ing good.
 She was duly presented in fashionable society on coming of age in 1891. It's flowers and fiattery were laid at her feet fts music and incense were waited to her. She scented the incense. she listened briefly to the music. She at tended few fashionable functions. then turned from all the scene, saying frankly that it bored her. Her heart was in none of it. It became plain. as was said. that Miss Gould did not care for that sort of thing That sort of thing is the thing a hundred thousand of the wo- men of America would almost give their eyes for.
 What Miss Gould does care for Is her family and few friends and the wide philanthropics she promotes. Part of her time is occupied in the management of her great properties, the rest largely with the furthering of her kindly enter prises Here is one of her specimen days: She enters her business office at 9:3O. Three stenographers-wome her. A thousand letters a week have to be written by them, and these Miss Gould | dictates.
 ,, It is on the whole satisfactory to the sense of justice that the lady seldom sees the begging letters. The chief sec retary reads and disposes of them. They are so numerous that most of them are answered by merely a printed circular. In the afternoon Miss Gould goes out for business calls-rarely for social ones. Her chief secretary goes with her, mak- ing notes in a memorandum book as they go. Miss Gould is one of the vice presi- dents of the woman's auxiliary of the Young Mems Christian association and is deeply interested in it's active manage ment. Before the day ends perhaps she gives a short, effective talk in some meet ing.

the battle resulting in the equalization of the soldiers. After th.s victory, Reo Cloud was proclaimed chief of all the Sioux tribes. and has held this position for nearly forty years.
 In the outbreak which led to the Custer massacre and the flight of Sitting Bull to Canada QS76) Red Cloud declined to aid Sitting Bull. notwithstanding which Gem eral Crook deposed him from his oom- mand and sent him to the Pine Ridge Agency, s. D., and the government con- fiscated his ponies and other property, In 1SSS-s, when government commissioners were attempting to induce the Sioux to sell their reservation in South Dakota that 1t might be opened to settlement. Red Cloud refused to sign or to let his Indians sign the treaty. When the government agreed to pay him $2S0oo for the ponies and property confiscated in 1876, he signed the treaty and induced the chiefs still holding out to do so also.
 It may be said to the credit Of Hed Cloud that since he signed the first peace paper he has never once fought against the whites. He refused an appeal of Sitting Bull to order an uprising of his tribe at Pine Ridge Agency on the strength of the Messiah craze dsso-D. and after his bucks had joined Sitting Bulr 2 ghost dancers in the Bad Lands. he was 
 eral Miles's invitation to return to tho agency under a pledge of amnesty. Red Cloud has visited Washington ten times on business connected with the Sioux. professes friendship for the whites and a desire to have his people live like them Yet he is very much opposed to the new idea of the Government in cut ting of the rations of the younger 1n- diahs and in forcing them to work for their living. In an address he issued to his people a short time ago. he said: should all Indians refuse to accept work they will remain as Indians, but should they follow in the paths of the whites, in years to come there will be no Indians, but instead lot of slaves.
 In his old age Red Cloud has become childish and returned to many Of the habits of his younger days. He has leit the house which the Government ouiit for him, and now lives in tent In the corner of his yard. Although old ana feeble, he keeps in touch with the anairs of his tribe through his Private Secre- tary, Cut Meat. And through his Secre- tary Red Cloud issues his orders to the sub-chiefs.
