HUNT TIGER ny INDIANA FIELDS.

Army of Thousand search for AMI
mal Escaped from Menagerfe.
Nearly 800 men and boys, armed with
guns. revolvers, pitchforks. clubs, hatch
etc and knives, are engaged in an excit-
ing hunt for a tiger that has been de-
stroying hogs and other animals near
Petersburg. Women and children have
been terrorized by the beast The tiger
seems to be afraid OF persons. but does
not run from dogs that try to interfere
with its depredations. Three dogs that
gave battle t, the animal were so badly
injured that they were killed and several
others nave been MANNED and torn. The
general fear of the animal has caused the
people to turn out to hunt it down. 1t
is believed hat it escaped from a menag-
erie. So great is the excitement that
parents have withdrawn their children
from the schools.

Bedroom Curtains.

Window haDSings in bedrooms must
let in the lignr and give seclusion. and
for this purpose dotted Swiss muslin
is a desirable material. Made from
this fabric, curtains may be just the
straight kind with ruffled edges or the
b~rise-bis, the French form that hangs
straight and fiat against the pane,
dropping from the inner top of the
sash. This latter style drapery may be
fashioned from alternate strips of lace
and muslin or net, the bottom seal
lOped, edged with the insertion, and
then finished with a frill of lace.

of the company. however, a federal
judge in Milwaukee, on application
from the receivers, and without notice
to the employees. issued an injunction
forbidding the men from combining to
quit the service of the company, with
or without notice, or from embarrass-
ing the operation of the railroad by SO
quitting. In other words, the en-
ployes of the company, who had
neither intimated nor made any ar
rangement up to that time, through
their organization or otherwise, to en-
gage in a strike, were prevented by Ju-
dicial process from exercising their
right to quit work if they chose because
of dissatisfaction with their wages.
Thus legally fettered, they were obliged
to approach a conference with the re-
ceivers Under the circumstances they
could do nothing else than accept such
wages and conditions of employment as
the receivers were disposed to give
them"

THE EXILE OF FORT GRANT
Condition Colonel by

fere to stop his wrangling (as it is ex-
pressedD with Mr.. Cushing. Colonel
Stewart had no wrangle with Mr.. Cush-
ing.
Colonel Stewart put a stop TO Mr..
Cushing's employees travelling on the
government boat to and from Portland
and Cushings island. This was done
because the government boat was
maintained for the use of people con-
nected with the government service
only, and its use by others deprived
the regular boat that piled between
Portland and Cushing's island of its
legitimate trade and traffic. Mr.. Cush-
ing in retaliation put stop to the gov
eminent boat using his dock on his ISL
and. These facts can be the only
foundation for the statement that Col
onel Stewart wrangled with Mr. Cush-
ing
Again 1t is stated that when in COM
mand of the artillery district of Port
land, Me-, Colonel Stewards quarter
master was court-martialed and SEN
fenced to a penitentiary for frauds
committed under Colonel Stewards
eyes, and that he failed to detect the
officer in his fraudulent acts. This is
the first time 1 have ever known the
failure of one person to detect another
in the commission of a crime to be
construed in itself to be a crime or
quasi-criminal in its nature. Two
months before the quartermaster's Of
lenses were discovered, and while they
were still going on, an army inspector
under orders from General Grant. the
department commander, examined the
accounts of this quartermaster and
failed to discover any irregularities in
his accounts.
I believe the foregoing are the only
| reasons given publicity for the action
in the case of Colonel Stewart, except,
perhaps, the statement that he had
trouble with a plumber. l know moth
ing about any trouble he had with a
plumber. Perhaps he did have. Many
people do have trouble with plumbers.
But i'm any controversy Colonel Stew
art may have had with a plumber is
the war department going to accept
the plumbers word rather than the
| colOnePs?
The foundation of the plot which
ended at Grant and the unwarranted
humiliation of this officer was laid at
Fort Barrancas, Florida. When Col
| onel Stewart assumed command of that
| post he found civilian was being sup
piled with fuel from the quartermas-
| ter's department, which was contrary
| to law and army regulations, and Col
onel Stewart issued an order that this
be discontinued. This civilian, now be-
come unfrendly in his feelings toward
| Colonel Stewart, had some influence
and found willing ears in Washington
to listen to his gossip and tales about
Colonel Stewart, who at no time had
| been asked by the war department to
give his version of anything said about
/ him or his official acts, and a full in
vestigatiOn of which can disclose Moth
| ing that will i'm any way reflect upon
Colonel Stewart as an 'officer and a
| gentleman.
! Mr.. Pew writes that some official has
/ thOughtfully sent coffin to Fort
Grant, perhaps to suggest a possible
means for the removal of Colonel Stew
art in case he persists in holding on in
the service against the wishes of his
enemies.

NASTRO NOT ALARMED.

Castro appears to be holding the fort
in Venezuela, Notwithstanding the with
drawal of the American minister by
Secretary Root and the expulsion of the
Dutch minister. So far the coast of
the South American republic has not
been ravaged by either American or
Netherlands warships. And it is not
likely to be subjected to rough usage
unless a better excuse can be framed
up than at present exists.
The trouble between Venezuela and
the United States had its origin in the
attempt of the Castro government to
save itself from being devoured by the
asphalt trust, an attempt which has so
far been successful. but which is said
to have cost 1900 lives and great treas
ure The expulsion of the Dutch min
lister was occasioned by his writing
letter home, for publication in trade
journal. severely criticising the Vene-
zuelan government in general and Pres
ident Castro in particular. The letter
having been reprinted in Caracas, Cas-
tro could do no less than send the min
lister packing-pretty much the same
kind of a case as that of Lord Sack
by President Cleveland.
There have been a good many at
tempts to befog and befuddle the is
sue in this country. Columns have been

asphalt trust and make it appear that
if the screws We're applied by the
Roosevelt administration it would be
for the protection of the rights of
try.
So far as the asphalt trust is con-
cerned. the government of Venezuela
would be justified in extreme measures
of any kind, particularly since the trust
helped organize the Matos rebellion and
furnished the money for the enterprise,
the object being to overthrow Castro
and place a man in the presidential
these high-minded American bucca-
neers The rebellion having failed, the
trust magnates came to the home gov
eminent with their tale of woe.
The present administration has made
several bluffs at Castro, but that in
dividual has pursued the even tenor of
his way, probably secure in the knowl-
edge that the people Of this country
would never countenance an attack
upon weaker nation at the behest
of the asphalt or any other trust.
