SHERBERTS AND ICES.
How the Former Originated and or the Making of Various Frozen
 Desserts.

Sherbet is a modern evolution of an ancient cooling drink common in the aast from the days Of the crusaders. Then. as now, 1t was iced and made rom fruit juices slightly calculated with lemon or tamarind juice and shilled with snow By and by came European traders to the land of the rising sun, Who first enjoyed sherbet Ill naturel. Then. enfeebled by the ,limate. they added alcohol to the original thirst quencher, but still frank it cold, chilled by snows. Re Nrning north, il occurred 10 some wise traveller 10 alter the temperature so he added boiling water to the mixture ot water. sugar, fruit juices and aleo- aol. producing thereby our modern punch The difference between a water ice and sherbet is one of tex .ure or body. the sherbet being thin- ler Parfaits. biscuits and mousses Ire whipped cream with or without eggs. They are not stirred while freez- .ng Tn parfaits and biscuits the sugar md water mixture is cooked until it spins a thread. and fl eggs are used

 Water ices are fruit juices sweet sned and frozen When making an ice .ook the sugar 10 a sirup before add ing the fruit juice and water.

Order Issued by Carl Schuz While Secretary of the Interior
 Brought Long Standing Trouble to a Crisis.
SPLENDID ORATION MADE BY INDIAN CHIEF
Equence of Standing Bear Pleading for His Own and Peoples Rights the Cause of An Ovation in Crowded Nebraska Court
 Judge Dundys Famous Decision.

0maha-The late Carl Sehurz is best remembered in Omaha as the cause of the American Indians being admitted 10 full citizenship in this eountry-not through his taking the side of tho red men in the long struggle. but beeauce he, as secretary Of the interior, issued an order which so aroused the west to the wrongs Of the Indian that a cru kade was started in Omaha which reached to all portions Of the United States, lasted seven years, and ended by supreme court decisions and legisla- live enactments making the Indian as free as white man fl he choose to be so. and 10 accept the conditions Of civilization.
 Schurz had the order issued 10 Gen. Crook, then stationed at Omaha and commanding this department of the army, and immediately the cause of 1he Indian was taken up by Thomas H. TibbIes, late vice presidential can aidate on the populist ticket; Gen. Crook, John L. Webster. Judge Dundy. ard a score Of other men prominent in Inc west.
 Previous 10 the fight spoken of here rery Indian in the United States was subject 10 the orders of the secretary of the interior. The government was an absolute autocrat over the destiny Of the red man in the entire country.
 Pitiful Funeral Procession.
 Back n 1879 pitiful procession wended it's slow way northward from Indian territory. bound for the prairies of Nebraska There were 90 Indians on foot and one old wagon, drawn by two wornout horses. In the wagon WIS the dead body Of a ehild-an h. dian boy. The leader of the little par ty was the father of the dead child; the famous Ponea Indian chief, Stand ing Bear, few years later to be the best-known Indian in the entire world and to speak in every city in the country in behalf of his people.
 Standing Bears party was on route to the Niobrara country. in northern Nebraska, 10 bury the child in the an- Siebt burying grounds of the tribe. They had started on the long trip, al- though permission to leave the reser- walton in Indian Territory. on which they had been settled against their will, had been refused.

body buried in the strange country. but instead, gathering a few members Of his tribe, he started for the ancient hunting grounds of his tribe, inteod- ing to bury the child where genera tons Of Ponea chiefs lay.
 Sehurz heard of the runaways, and through the war department tele- graphed Gen. Crook, in Omaha. 10 ar rest the Indians and return them to Indian Territory.
 But the chief Of the Omahas. Iron Eye. went 10 meet the Poncas and of- fe-ed them a haven of refuge on the Omaha reservation.
 We have all the land Standing Bear and his people wish for; We have corn and meat in plenty; come live with us" said Iron Eye.
 But the government. through sehurz. said No"
 Se Crook arrested the old chief and brought him and his followers down to Omaha. And with them came the wagon bearing the dead child
 Standing Bear told Crook his indi- yidual story. The great Indian fighter knew the general history of the h. dians and was already indignant at their treatment, but the treatment ac- corded Standing Bear was too much, and even the stern warrior rebelled
 Campaign Mapped Out.
 That night Crook came into Omaha and had an al-night's conference with Tibbles. then an editorial writer on a newspaper. A campaign of Indians rights was mapped out, and both men started out the next day to carry out their parts.
 Crook was to delay returning the In diahs to Indian Territory until a writ o! kabeas corpus could be asked for from the United States court on the ground that the constitution, in the fourteenth amendment, guaranteed 10 ail persons born in the United States equal protection of the law. Tibbles looked out for the legal end of the deal. He went to John l.. Web ster, then struggling, unknown young lawyer, laid his case before him, and asked him to defend the rights of the Indian.
 There is no money in it, but there is fame. honor and glory" said Tib- bies.
