It is as follows: Board of Green Cloth, Bueking-| ham Palace, S.

Tam to thank you for this kind in- tention of yourself and wife in mak- ing this offering. The good feeling | is duly appreciated in high quarters, but as her majesty, by rule, does | not accept presents, the Lord Stew- | ard must ask you to accept as an equivalent of value a small sum of £3, which, he judges, may represent the outlay. The paymaster of the household has accordingly received instructions to send the same to youat Syracuse. Yours faithfully, Tuomas C. Marca. Mr. George Thorndill, Syracuse, | U.S. A.

I now enelose the check for £3, and I should be obliged if you would kindly sign the receipt for the same and post it to me at the above address.

An Indian Ter y Whiskey Case That has caused Four Murders. Topeka, Kas., Jan. 15.—The mur- derers Byron Denis and John God- own have been arrested. The men named left McPherson, two Kas., three weeks ago on a hunting expe- diton, traveling in a boat down the Arkansas river. Indians ambushed along the Osage side fired on them killing Dennis and wounding Go- down, who has since died. The killing of the two men was the result ofan old crime. An In- dian testified ina whiskey case at the last term of the United States district court at Wichita that he had purchased whiskey of a peddler in the Osage nation. When he return- to the nation some one split hishead open with an axe killing him instant- ly. The deputy United States mar- shal for the Osage nation, Ed Math- ews, with a warrant for the arrest of the murderers proceeded a few days ago to the place where the Indian was killed and was shot fromfambush. The Indians suppos- ed Dennis and Godown to be officers He also died. also. When “John” Took to Washing. There areno laundrymen in China. No linen is worn there. andthe poor wear woolen or cotton.

YELL. Brought Out in a Court Reom by ar Rloquent Grater.

The killing occurred at McBean’s station October last. in Emingat counsel had been engaged by the prosecution and defense, for both | parties are prominent and wealthy | The evidence closed and the spea ing began Friday morning, contin- uing all through the day. When the court assembled after tea the seats and aisles within the bar were crowded with ladies, while without 1 dense throng of imen filled up the auditorium. It was before this assembly that Mr. Twiggs began his argument. Twiggs : eloquent speeker, practiced in and noted for his ora- torieal graces. In the course of his three hour's address he at one time referred in the most feclics ¥ manner to the courage and devotion of wom- ten. The hour, the occasion, the au- dience, and the dim light from which the rapt faces were bent upon him all combined to form a surrounding well calculated to inspire the orator to his greatest effort. closed his address upon women as follows: “At the battle of Gettysburg Gen- eral Pickett was ordered to begin the charge which was to make him famous. As he went into the terri- ble battle his yonug bride on horse- back followed him. When the hail of death was beating down men on all sides, and the plunging shot and shell mingled their fierce screams with the moans and cries of the mangled, Piekett suddenly found bimself in the presence of his wife. In an agony of fear for her safety he cried out to her as she sat cool and collected as a veteran. “Go back! Go back! For God's sake go back to the rear!’ ‘No,’ replied the devoted woman, ‘in the hour of danger the wife’s place is by her husband's side.” At this moment through the court room there rang out a wild, thrill- ing cry, which nearly lifted the ex- cited throng to its feet. It was the old rebel yell heard upon a 100 bat- tle-tields, and never to be forgotten. A deep silence followed. All eyes were turned toward the outer eir- cle. Then Judge Royn’s cold voice was heard bidding the sheriff to ar- rest the offender. A man was seen dodging through the crowd, and the jude continued: “The man who is leaving is probably the one want- ed.” “No, judge,” exclaimed a voice slowly, “I amthe man.” ‘The speak- Te er stood in the aisle with folded arms, quietly contemplating the bench. “I shall have to fine you $10, then, for disturbing the court.” Very well, your honor, I shall pay the money,” said the man; “but I meant no disrespect. I wasa con- federate soldier at Gettysburg, and could not help from hollering.” Dakota Statehooa Resolutions. Huron, D.
