A CALL TO WOMEN. A World's Congress of Representatives of the Sex FO BE BELD AT CHICAGO DURING TRE coLTUM- BAN EXPOSITION —THE MISTORY OF WOMAN'S DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS AND BER PRESENT STATUS To RE SHOW. A call is isened for a “world’s congress of representative women” to be held at Chicago @uring the Columbian exposition, the exact date to be hereafter announced. The call is signed by May Wright Sewall chairman, Rachel Foster Avery, secretary, and Sarah Hackett Stevenson, Frances lard, Julia Holmes Smith. Elizabeth Boynton Harbert, Mra, Wm. T. Brown and Mrs. Jno. C. Cooniey, committee of the world « congress auxiliary on ® congress of representative women. The call te a follows “It is desired to convene in this congress not only the delegates of organizations of women, bat also wome affiliated ganic relation who have atiained distinction im any line of worthy activity. It is believed that such a congress of women will be able to present the history of woman's opment and progress, and her present status as an ac- Knowiedged factor in the worlds of art, sct- ence and industry, and a potent influence in civil as well ax in social and domestic life. ENTERTAIN FOREIGN DELEGATES. “In May,2891.the National Council of Women of the United States, throngh its execativecom- mittee, passed a resolution pledging itself to en- tertain during the congress all delegates attend- ing it from fe countries. This was anced to { women wherever and in notably in |. France, € via and Fin- land, and mor witzerland and German’ ganized acti bas been quickened by it. Many women in all these countries are planning to attend this congress. Home and foreign advisory council will be formed t yperate by corresponde: with the local committee of arrangements to the | end that this congress may be conducted to the distingaished success which the conditions de- mand. All officers of the international council will be made merabers of the foreign advisory council. All officers of the national ¢ cil will be made members of the home alvisory council, CORRESPONDENCE. SOLICITED. “Women in all parts of the world interested im any department of intellectual activity. in philanthropy or reform, are solicited to corre- nd with the chairman of the local committee. or with the secretary of the International Council of Women, and freely suggest topics for discussion in this congress, the names of ‘women who should be invited to present papers | or to participate in the discussions of the con- gress, and also the names of women who should be included in either of the two advisory councils. Every living question pertaining to the education or the employment of women | may be discussed in this congress. In its | sessions the woman's view upon every issue affecting humanity —upon the home, the church, | ‘the state and her own function in these insti- tutions—may be presented. What such a con- | gress may do for the uplifting of humanity, if | ‘the Women of the world avail themselves of its | unique advantages for stating their view of the | nt condition of the race. of its struggies, its possibilities, its hopes, 1 incalculable. The aid which such a congress will give to the solu- tion of the hundreds of problems included in what is massed under the phrase ‘The Woman Question” is equally beyond measure. Hu- manity may well entertain eager anxiety re- garding the manner in which women will re- | spond to this matchless opportunit THEMES TO BE DISCUSHED. } “fn issuing this second edition of the pre-| liminary address the committee is able to announce the general themes which will be diseassed in thie congress. Practically these themes will divide the congress into the follow- | ing general divisions: Education, industry, art, philanthropy and charity, moral and social Teform., religion, civil law and government. It} must be borne in mind that while congresses fn each of the above divisions are provided for am the great scheme of congresses under tho | of the world’s congress auxiliary, | there Congresses will not take the place of not duplicate the work of the woman's congress in the general subjects above given. “In each of the separate congresses to con- vene in Chicago in the summer of 1493 women will pate in the degree in which ther | Rave tallen part in the interest or activity in-| dicated by the title of the congress, and they Wili discuss the themes presented in such con- grees accordingly. In the general world « con- gress of representative women, however. these great subjects will be viewed from a different standpoint, the object of thi- congress being | to discuss not the subject per se, but the rela- | tion of the women of the world to the subject. For example, in the papers and addresses to be ted in’ the world’s congress of repre- sentative women, on titles that will come under | ‘the ject of education, it is not de- | that pedagogy asa science shall be dis cussed, but papers of two kinds agen this gen- eral theme will be demanded by the character | ‘and objects of this particular congress.

HLORODYNE. Unknown Danger of This Insidious Evil. We have all heard of “morphine fiends” and | “opium fiends,” and some of us havo had the | great misfortune to know some of these poor | creatures and to witness their suffering and degradation, but to many persons, happily, the | term “‘chlorodyne fiend” is unfamiliar, and | when first heard will not even remotely suggest | all the horror it implies. | Chiorodyne is an apparently harmless drag, | for the preparation of which we have to thank | Mother England, and also for its bigh cost— | would that it were trebled in price. It is a powerful anodyne, compounded of morphine, chloroform, prussic acid and Indian hemp, finvored with sugar and peppermint. | Inuiry fails to reveal the exact amount of mor- phine. Some one has said there are forty grains of morphine in one ounce of chlorodyne, but this statement cannot be vouched for. ROW REPUTABBLE WOMEN ACQUIRE THE RABIT. Reputable physicians recommend it to nerv- ous women for headache, exhaustion and incip- ient ails, and thus the evil gains its first foot- | noid. In email doses the effect fora time beneficial, but few there be who atop here. | ‘Tis useless to argue from a high moral stand- | point that only the weak fall So much the more should the strong protest the weak. But | thiv is not an argument; ‘tis only a simple | statement of facts. | At the recent church congress at Folkestone on “Woman's day” among other distinguished | women who spoke upon ‘Temperance | Affects Women in the Upper and Middle | Classes” was the Duchess of Bedford, who ne cially mentioned chiorodyne aa one of “the | edged tools that surely whould be resorted to only for the most verious reasons on most ex- ceptional oecasions.” The women of England are aroused to its | danger; so also should be the women of Amer- t vet is this vile drug recognized bere 2ged tool,” and ite use ix increasing with alarming rapidity. | a srneviasT You ovERWoRKED NERVES. | The exigencies of modern life are very great, and nowhere is the stresa and pressure of it felt toso intense adegree as in our United | States of America, where work and excited | mulation are the Very breath of life, and the leisure classes work as hard in the pursuit of pleasure as the self-supporting in the routine of business. Overtaxed nerves give way and | | instead of granting them the rest they are | clamoring for they are flogged with a stimulant or appeased with an anodyne. Much more insidious in ite advances than | liquors of any sort, chlorodyne should be labeled dangerous, and its sale without a physician's that of morphine or any other potson. It can) now be Lought as castly as a cake of soap. WHEN THE APPETITE 18 ONCE FORMED. An appetite for it once formed, heroic | measures only can save the victim. An idio- | eyneracy of this hideous disease—and at this stage it must be considered such—is that there | is a constant craving for increased dosew, often an ounce or more « day is taken, and also for alcoholic stimulants of all and any sorts, the | stronger the better. The sense of taste becomes | so jaded and dalied by its use that many an old toper could not swallow without a grimace the | doses that delicate women take without the iver of an eyelash; perhaps, complaining that | they are wishy-washy oF tastelons. ’ Fact! | THE EFFECT OF THE DRUG. | In some respects cnlorodyne is more to be | dreaded than morphine or opium. Elaborate and full statistics have not been compiled, but | data from some cases waztants us in_consider- ing it more utterly demoralizing. The victim of this fearful habit becomes perfectly un- serupulous and morally unbalanced. develops @ maniacal cunning in the invention of lies, not only for the purpose of obtaining the drug, but also from an apparently fiendish delight in lying for the lie’s own rake. As the deadly drug ad- vances in its horrible work much of the suffer- ing cf delirium tremens is experienced, and many of its symptoms are present. Affecting the brain, and in some cases especially the seat of language, an intense excitability results | not readily distinguished from pure insanity. In the frenzy thus produced the language used could be matebed in the mad house only or in | the haunts of the Biilingsgate fishwoman. It is not conceivable that any woman worthy put to her lip knew ita true na ture and dangerous power, a veritable hydra- headed monster, so many and various are the evils it entails, so difficult is it to escape ite clutches, NOT OVERDRAWN. Do not imagine for a moment that this sketch is overdrawn or sensational. Tooniany, alas, will know that the half has not been told. the writer to lift the veil of ment. A generalized outline is all that has been attempted. It is a good subject for agitation in the clubs. The Ladies’ Health Protective Association could do no more valuable work the sule of chlorodyne. > COAL CORNERED. Cincimnati Operators Put Up the Price and Great Suffering Results. Only Five Votes Cast Against Him in the Albany Caucus. ‘The New York democrate in joint caucus rushed throngh the nomination of Edward Murphy for United States Senator last night at Albany.’ The plan to make the caucus a big ratification meeting was followed almost to the | letter. On the floor Richard Croker, the Tam- many leader, with bis assistants, Commissioner Ridgeway, Police Commissioner Martin and John C. Sheehan, all New York city officials, kept close watch of the proceedings, while Lieut. Gov. Sheehan circulated among the members of both houses in the capacity of agent of the Tammany managers. Senator Hill was not present, nor was Mr. Murphy. Bourke Cockran. the hope of the anti-Murphy men, wrecked their chances of making a suc- cesafal fight, even if they had had the votes, by sending a telegram refusing to stand as candidate. In xpite of this telegram, however, ze men stood oat in opposition to the caucus and cast their votes as protest against the cancus candidate. were Senators McClelland of West- chester and Erown of New York, and As- semblymen Searing of Queens, Kemprer of New York and Frazier of | Westchester. | Senator McClelland and Assemblyman, Kemp- |ner made strong speeches in opposition to Marphy in the téeth of a storm of the gaileries. Of the entire 91 votes Murphy received 85 and Cockran 5, one member being absent. Senator Jacob A. Canter of New York, Hill lieutenant on the floor of the senate and lead of the minority for years, rose to nominate Mr. Murphy. To party principles the candidate whom ‘ho should name would be true. He would be in hearty accord with the chief magis- trate of the nation—Grover Cleveland. Mr. Canter then reviewed the career of Mr. Murphy, culogizing his services, and placed him formally in nomination. The spectators broke éut.with cheering, which lasted for several minutes, Assemblyman William M. Keenan of Rensra- Iner let loose floods of praive in seconding the nomination, winding up with these words: may be sure that with {eben Cleveland at the helm and David B. Hill, that democrat of dem- ocrats, and Edward Murphy, jr., as willing and hearty coworkers our state will again take its place in the federal constellation as its brightest star.” Senator McClelland then made his protest, saying: “‘I think I appreciate the importance of the occasion that calls us together. I also ap- preciate the importance of what Iam about to jo. “I would be glad if I could be in accord with the majority of my legislative associates tonight, and I'am inclined to think that if they had been left to give free expression to their own choice and the choice of their con- stituents a large majority of them would have been in accord with me. 1 have in mind a gentleman in public life, who, I believe, would make an idenl United States Senator. ‘The people of the United States declared in favor of Grover Cleveland and Grover Cleveland's policy, “believe the man to be selected az Senator from this state should be competent to aid and maintain him in carrying out the policies of which he is the especial champion. When I have an opportunity I shall cast mv vote for W. Bourice Cockran, who I believe is the choice of veve: tenths of the democracy of the state of Ne York. Isay now, and I say it with emphasis, from | that if the representatives of the people had | been atlowel to come here without pressure their choice would have been the gentleman whom I have named.” Senator Brown then arose and anid that he yielded to no man in his gratification at the iccess of the democracy. “I am with the President-elect, Grover Cleveland, the moat renowned man of his day. Inot only stand here to plead for the state, but for the democracy, for Tammany Hall— , for Richard Croker if you will. I appeal to vou not to sacrifice the state, to carry ont the obligation owed to a friend. Grover Cleveland has spoken on this subject and I adhere to him. I will stand by him to the end of his term.” THE NOMINEE. Edward Murphy, jr., was born in Troy on December 15, 1833. His parents were both na- tives of Queens county, Ireland, and emigrated to America in 1832, first settling in Canada, but within a year after their arrival making Troy their home. The elder Murphy established a brewery in 1846 and was very successful in busi- ness, amassing a large fortune in a few years. It was not until 1874 that Edward Murph: jr., resumed, or rather began, the political ¢: reer which has been so rich in achievements for the democratic party in thia state. Inthat year he was appointed fire commissioner and in’ the following year he was elected mayor of his na- tive city. Mr. Murphy's leadership in the city, where he was elected four successive times, practically without opposition, was faowed b is control of the democratic count niz tion, and then the democrats of Washington | county recognizing his fitness for leadership he became the democratic lender of that sec- tion of the state. Five years ago he was made chairman of the state committee. ————-+e+ GOV. ALTGELD INAUGURATED. }ILinols Now Has a Democratic Governor, the First Since Before the War.

From the American Rezister. After prolonged research and experiment in Pasteur's laboratory, M. Chamberland is re- ported to have come to the conclusion that no living germ of disease can resist the antiseptic power of essence of cinnamon for more than a few hours. It destroys microbes as effectively, if not as rapislly. as corrosive sublimate. Even the scent of it is fatal. and M. Chamberlaud holds that a decoction of cinnamon ought to be | taken freely by persons living in plnces af- fected by typhoid or cholera. There is nothing new in all ihis.

Altgeld, who has been inaugurated as governor of Illinois, was born in Nassau, Germany, in 1847, and came to this country when an infant. He and his parents settled in Richland county, Ohio, where he pared his bovhood on a farm. When he was sixteen years old he enlisted us n private in the one hundred and sixty-third Obio infantry, and served dur- ing the closing months of the’ rebellion in the James river campaign.- After the war he taught a country school for a few months and in the spring of 1869 tramped | from Ohio to East St. Louis, southern Kansas |and finally to northwestern Missouri in | search of other employment.

The Long Island City mayoralty contest came up before Justice Brown at Long Island City yesterday morning in the circuit court. The bearing was on the writs of mandamus to reompel Wm. Fisher, Thomas Walsh and P. F. Gleason, inepectors of election, to make cor- rection in the returns from their tive ROADS IN PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY. What is Said by Well-Known Marylanders. in connection with the convention at Balti- more today in behalf of good roads the views of well-known residents of Prince George's county, as presented in a special to the Balti- more American, are of interest. Mr. Wm. J. Hill, member of the house of delegates, eays: “At @ meeting to be held in Baltimore there will be every shade of opinion and experience the different counties of this state. In this manner the different systems for roadmaking and repairing the same will pass in review; and from this alone some good must arise. The public roads of Prince George's county, the most of which were laid ont at the time of the erection of this county, from their zigzag and roundabout direction ‘between given pointe, seem to have been projected to meet the views and conveniences of individual farmers and land owners. In this way many of the public roads prove to be inconveniences, and for this reason the number of public roads has become multiplied, so that we have many more upon the county than the actual needs of travel jus- tify. The appropriation for the repair of public roads and bridges is limited by law to$15,000. Be- sides thix sum there is an extra amount for the use of roads and bridges derived from what is known as the whisky license fund. ‘This varies in amounts, but can be placed at an average of $4,500. It’ will thus be seen that a fund of nearly $20,000 is annually devoted to the pur- pose of keeping up the public roads and bridges of the county. It is estimated that the mileage of Prince George's county in public roads will very nearly aggregate 10,000 miles. It would appear as the best solution to have the appointment of a competent civil ongineer, whoxe duty it would be to divide up the county into great thoroughfares, whigh woyld appear to hun to accommodate the greatest number of the traveling public in their way to mill,market and church. After so doing these roads should receive the greatest caro and attention of t! supervisors, but the work upon them should be in all cases under the charge of the engineer, and the work done according to his direction. Wherever the public roads are adjacent to rail- rond lines or river landings these corporations might be indyced to deliver freight free, oyster shells, gravel or ballast that could be procured, so with such means at our disposal the repair upon the roads could be made at a lesser cost. Speaking for the roads in Prince George's county it ix a notorious fact that many of them are far too narrow for public travel. This: is’ one fault that shouid be corrected.”* Richard E. Brandt, esq., state's attorney, said: “While the roads of this county under the present system have greatly improved it is fact that this is the condition in those por- tions of the county where gravel is acceptable, But the system can be greatly improved, and ‘an oue of the means to that end will be the ap- intment of a civil engineer, whose duty shall @ to go over the various public roads of the county and examine them and report to the board of county commissioners as to the ad- visability of repairing or closing the same as the needs of the traveling public may be con- cerned. Good ronda will do more toward ad- vancing the value of real estate and inducing capitalists to settle in the county than anything else.” Mr. George C. Merrick, ex-state’s attorney, ex-member of the legislature and a prominent lawyer, says, after describing the unsatisfactory condition of roads during « greager portion of the vear: “Politics is the great chief cause of all the trouble. It is at the top and bottom of the whole business. The county commission- ers virtually control the whole matter, appoint the road supervisors for all the districts and fix the compensation for laborers, teams and m: terials. The fund annually levied for roads in this county (about $15,000) is treated primaril asa fund to pars into the bands exclusively the political supporters of the party in power, to be expended and worked out by them—these beneficiaries, supervisors, or by whatever name you please to call them, having Been, selected more with reference to political services ren- dered or to be rendered than to their knowledge of or fitness for the duties they should per- form. This is true of both parties, and uatil this is remedied there is no hope for better things. The old and present system of pittch- work and temporary repairs should be con- signed forever to the past, and none: but rmanent work be aliowed on the pub- fic roads, the opin- ion that a plan for working the public roads, which would place them all in a county, under the control of a skilied and practical engineer or road builder, with power to employ euch labor and materials as, in his judgment, was necessary, subject to such wise restrictions as to amount to be expended, 1s the only practical way of ever getting good, per- mattent roads. The pay of this officer should be good and he should in nowixe be dependent | or look to political power fur bis place. How he should be selected, &c., is a matter for care- fal and serious thought. Ir takes brains, knowledge and honesty to construct and repair ubiie roads, just as much +o asto build a jouse. There is no subject so vital to our mate- fial prosperity as good public roads. ‘They enter into all the affairs of country life and prosperity, ro mui so iu my Judgment that it & question, if assured a proper person would control their management, whether it would not be wise to raise, by bond or otherwise, sum of money, the interest on which would be equivalent to one-half that now annually levied | and expended for road s,and expend this !argesum proportionately in the different road districts of the country on permanent hard-bed road: and leave only the one-half now annuaily levied for ordinary repairs, and even these should be permanent as far as possible.” Mr. T. M. Chaney said: “In my opinion there ought to be a general road law. A competent engineer paid by the state should lay off all of the most important roads in the state, connect- ing county seats, and ieading to railroad sta- tions and steamboat wharves. Instruction should be given in the public shools on road buildings; also upon the social, moral and pecuniary advantages of good roads, 60 that neighbors could communicate easily with each other, and clubs and societies, schools and villages and city markets would be accessible at ail seasons of the year.” see LOST HIS LIFE. Tam decidedly of THE COMMANDE Repulse of an Attack on a British Qut- post After a Flerce Strugg! A dispatch from Bhamo, Burmah, says that the hostile Kachyiens made a desperate attack on the Briti-h outpost at Sima, British Com- mander Morton led his men in a fierce conflict with the enemy, who were repulsed afier a struggle in which Commander Morton himself and five sepoys were killed, tle Kachyiens leav- ing fifteen dead on the field. ‘ ‘The Kachyiens continue to make a desperate reristunce to the British, and the subjection of these mountaineers progresses very slowly. They fire on the troops from the jungle and protect their stockndes with pits in which sharp bamboo stakes are fixed and coveredover ayatrapto their enemies. They have been harassing the outpost at Sima ever since the British troops were stationed there. Numbers of them surrounded the stockade and kept up & continuous fire for some time. ‘At night they came up to within 100 yards of the post, and entrenched themselves, making « breastwork in which they had placed hollow bamboos to act ns loopholes. ‘The garrison went out ai destroyed the works several times dur- ing the day,but not without sustaining loss. Sor- ties have been also constantly to be made to fetch in water, which was only obtainable from springs outside the ports and about 100 yards down the side of the hill, advantage being taken of the temporary repulse of the Kachyiens on each oceasion to fill all the casks and other ves- sels capable of holding water. On several oc- casions the Kechyiens advanced quite close aud once, when intoxicated, some rushed up and tried to cut the stockade with their dake.

Mortality Rates as Affected by the rae - Occupations. ‘From the N. ¥. Times Life insurance experts, and those interested in mortality statistics generally. employ in their business a self-explanatory term known as “the expectation of life.” Under this heading ex- perience has furnished valuable tables, by means of which the probability of the duration of different lives is reduced toa practically accurate basis—a basis rendered doubly re- liable by reason of the fact that the results are based upon many independent sets of observa- tions obtained from widely different sources. The similarity of the statistics thus obtained is remarkable. + Charles Stevenson, Edinburgh, has tion of life* table tion on this sub; well-known actuary of tributed to’ the “expecta- the most recent informa: tin the shape of a little paper on ‘The Effect of Employment on Life and Health,” in which many curious facts are presented concerning the relation of occupa- tions to mortality rates, The largest mortality rate in the indoor oc- cupations considered is found among liquor sellers, a fact which explains the reluctance of life insurance companies to write insurance on that class of risks. Mr. Stevenson finds the average mortality among 1,000 iiquor sellers to be 29.2, increasing frum 12.2 between the ages of twenty and twenty-nine to 102.8 from age seventy upward. He divides the liquor sellers into three classes—licensed groceries, hotel keepers and barkeepers—and shows the re- spective mortality rates to be, from twenty-five Years of nge upward. 18.9, 26.8 and 33.4, re- spectively, which shows that the life risk of the average barkeeper is an exceedingly hazardous quantity, Among 1.000 gardeners the death rate is found to be 10.6; carpenters, 12.4; shoemaker, 13.4; stonemasons, 16.8; butchers, 17.8, and innkeepers, 21.4. "This agrees precisely with the information collected by American life in- surance companies, which xhows the butcher to bea hazardous risk, second only to the inn- keeper and kaloon keeper. The most curious facts resulting from this in- vestigation are those concerning the death rate mong the clergy, a class which the author has divided into three sections, namely, Church of England clergy, Nonconformist clergy and Roman Catholic’ clergy. Que thousand cases investigated in ench of these sections shows the death rate to be lowest in the Church of Eng- land clergy, where the average is 10.2, und highest in ‘the Roman Catholic ¢ the average is 15.7. These figures suggest an interesting contribution to the etudy of celibacy in its relation to the mortality rate. The value of outdoor’ exercise, with abund- ance of fresh air anda clear conscience, is amply set forth in a comprehensive table show- ing the number per 100 of the various occupa- tions that attain the age of 70 or more. Again the clergy tops the list, with 42 out of 100 who attain the age of 70, while the farmera come next with 40. and the other occupations in the following order: Commercial men (drummers), 35; military men, 93; Inwyers, 29; erfists, 28; teachers, 27, and phyricians, 24. The apparently anomalous feature of these figures ix that nfflitary men, whose occupation seems to be most hazardous from a layman's int of view, in reality attain a greater longevity than their lens warlike brothers of the sciences and arts. This favorable position of the military man, considered from a life-insurance standpoint. has come to be recognized in ragent Years to such an extent that one of the Indest life companies has recently waived all restric- tions in the matter of military risks, its ex- perience tables showing the loss of but one risk during the last three South American revo- lutions, CUSTER AND HIS MEN. He Asked No One to Go Where He Dared Not Lead. From the Sioux City (Towa) Journal. “Poor Custer!” said one of his men, “I fol- lowed him throngh a great part of the war of the rebellion as a private soldier, and I followed jm afterward in various capacities during his warfare on the frontier, Yes, and today if I should see the general astride his Kentucky thoroughbred, seated as_no man ever sat horse before or since, should I catch the glint of the sun on the mighty sweep of that suber of his, and reo the yellow hnir flying straight ashe dashed along, I could not resist the temptation to seize a poker or a hatchet or an ax handle, jump astride that old mare of mine and follow him for better or for worse. “And no soldier of Custer’s ever did more than follow him, He was a leader of his men, not adriver—a cavalier general who acked no man to go where he dared not take the lend— and as the danger became greater Custer waa sure to be just #o much the further in front of his column, ‘Tacticians have censured him for that, and perhaps he would have been with us today hid he abandoned it. But he was a dash- ing voldier, and would rather charge upon an euemy outnumbering him twenty to one than seek vantage ground or lay siege. He believed it to be his business to fight, and he let but few opportunities go by, provided he thought the ¥ worthy the mettle of his troopers. ‘Custer had the most unbounded faith in the rank and file of his rogiment, but never re- posed the least confidence in his subordinate officer. He gave his personal attention to the minatest details of his command, saw that every trooper had his full allowance of rations and clothing, and saw, too, that the men attended just as carefully to the physical wants of their horses. He would never take the word of cap- tain or lieutenant on such matters, For that reason the subordinate commissioned officers ed him justas heartily ae his men loved him. He insisted always on being absolute in his command. “But how the boys loved that man! Ti devotion was fittingly demonstrated in an 1 cident in the general's last battle on the Little Big Horn. The two hundred troopers of the seventh cavalry knew they were hopelessly ont- numbered by anenemy better armed than them- selves. Eight cavalrymen broke through the Indian lines and gained a neighboring bluff. ‘Ther were practically out of danger, for the fine horses which the seventh were then equip- ped with could laugh at the best of the Indian onies. But they baited on the bluff and, look- ing back, saw their leader hemmed in on all sides by the savage enemy. One said, “Bot wecan't do this!” and, aiiguting, placed hi carbine against his horse's head and shot him dead. Then he quietly released bis revolvers from the raddle and thrasting them into his Life Was Too Short for the Compositors to Decipher Hieroglyphics. From the New York Herald. A number of men in an uptown hotel recently chanced to be discussing the execrable, almost undecipherable handwriting of a mutual frend. “I hate to receive his letters," remarked one. “They drive me nearly crazy, and I am often tempted to throw them into the fire unread. I do wish he would return to his primary school methods and print his letters." “But that might be no improvement,” re- marked a newspaper man who chanced to be among the number. “I know acase in point in my own office, where printing words to secure legibility led to a vigorous protest.” x of course, aware,” continued the there is absolutely no rute to gov- speaker, | ern the spelling of proper names, and if written hastily the very simplest cognomen may appear as something entirely different in type. So many mistakes of this nature occurred that finally an order was issued that in preparing copy every proper name should be printed in Homan enpliaie tive of ; “The order was productive of great improve- ment, and was bailed with delight by the night desk und the composing room—that is in every instance save one, and that was in connection— strange as it may seem-—with the copy of the poorest penman on the staff. His writing was Teally something dreadful,the worst I have ever read, bar none. Scarcely aman could read a simple sentence ‘without puzzling over a half dozen or more simple wo: “Through long association and hard swearing, however, two of the compositors out uf over a hundred were practically able to make some- thing intelligible out of the veteran's copy, at least they claimed to be able to do #0; but ‘the others doubted it, and the proof readers were unwilling to certify to the truth of the state- | ment, for the stuff was worse than Greek to| them. “This feeling changed, however, when the first pages of the man’s copy were given out | after the new order had been issued. ‘Takes’ were distributed to the two readers of hiero- | glyphics, as usanl, and all went weil until al- most simultaneously, both men struck proper names, printed in alleged Roman capitals, “ ‘Well, I'll be d——d,’ said one, leaning over bis caso, ‘I would haye «worn that I could read this copy, but this stumps me. What's thi d—4 fool up to now?’ ‘Same here,’ replied the other. ‘I think hb’s tried to print his letters here, but I'm'not | stire. It looks like those things on the Egyp-| tian obelisk in Central Park. it. Let's kick about I can't waste the night over this stuf.’ “And the two men did ‘kick,’ and vigorously at that, to the foreman of the composing roora who in turn complained to the city edito ‘Tho compositors eaid that they had spent years in learning to decipher the writing of the man, and that now, having just acquired a reasonable familiarity with his pecular chirography, they did not propose to attempt to learn any new science. ‘Lite was too short,’ thev added. For- tunately they were not compelled to make the attempt, for by special order the man was per- mitted to write his names ax before. Unintell gible us the written letters were they were bet- | numbe’ed eth hwnd ter than his printed capitals, which no living man could read. . DAYBREAK THE CAMP. Life in the Far West When the Darkness Begins to Fade. From Forest and Stream. It is still night. In the darkness not a sound can be beard save now and then the stamp of a horre’s hoof on the frozen ground or, faintly, their plucking of the grass, for the horses begin to feed early. The sounds of the middie night are hushed. ‘The owls long ago stopped their hooting, and now on noiseless wing are making their last hunting rounds before the day shall come. Within the lodge it is darker than without. On the ground in the middle ean be seen a pale shadow—the white ashes of the long cold fire. Above, through the smoke hole, is a patch of sky less black than the invisible inelosing walls, and in this bit of the heavens shine two stars, In acircle about the fireplace are shapeless white masses—the sleeping forma of men. They are silent and motionless. Now on the still air very faintly is heard a distant tone of music; eet whistle, at first | low, rising and falling, then gradually ‘beeom- | ing more distinct. It comes nearer and nearer until it fills the air all about, then passing on, recedes, grows fainter, till at’ Inst the sound is lost. The wild ducks are flying. From the lake comes a far-off trampet note and then another—the mellow call of the wild eRe. ‘The world is awakening. The day is near. The stars which looked in at the smoke hole are paling now. Upon the horizon in the eust lies @ line of gray which slowly broadens and makes twilight where all before was dark. The outlines of the tree trunks are seen standing out like ghosts, reaching out shadowy | jn" arms us if feeling their way through the dim-| ness, The chirp and flutter of migrating bird that through the night slept in the low bushe: begin to be heard. As the light grows dusky shapos appear in the little park behind tho camp-—the horses feeding. Close to the lodge door the dogs are curled up in the grass, still asleep. Their long black coats are white here and there with frost, and in their sleep their muscles twitch as thoy shiver from the cold, yet their rest is sound. Day is at hand. Now a stir is heard within the lodge. There are muified grunts and groans, or two, the rustling of clothing, then the faint sound of footsteps, and suddenly the pale glare of a match—increasing to a little glow as the shavings catch, and then to a bright flicker which lights up the whole lodge as the larger | sticks take fire and crackle and white smoke and a few sparks float from the emoke hole. Soon the door of the lodge is thrown back. A man steps out and looks about, yawns and | hivers. He breaks the ice in the water bucket and pours some in a basin. Others in the lodge are getting up. Voices are heard. The men of the camp pass in and out at the door. Some prepare breakfast, others busy them- selves aboat the packs and lash the bandles Two of them build a corral of ropes about three trees. and then start off to drive in th horses, Soon theso are seen coming toward the camp. The men spread theniselves out and drive the animals into the inclosure, where they are caught and tied up. While this is being done the call to breakfast belt started down the slope.

The enormous increase in the fire insurance business of this country in recent years is shown by some figures just collected by « well-known adjuster, who fixes the total amounts insured at the close of 1892 at $22,000,000,000, which represents about $2.5 per cent of the total Property valuations in the United States, Tn 1863 the percentage of amounts insured to the total property valuation was only 9. In 1870 it had increased to 16.78, in 1890 to 20.90 and in 1890 to 30.41. The total amounts insured today C. C.
