Mecting Affer a Fifteen Years' Sep- aration, Buaffalo Bill, White Beaver and Pony Bob Recalling Incidents of the Past—How Their Names Originated, Chioago News, February 10, Three men sat in the rotunda of the Leland hotel yesterday, and talked in a jolly strain half of the afternoon. They wore dress suits, and, excepting the large hats worn by two of them, there was nothing about their appearance to attract attention. It was the first time they had met for fifteen years, Their last meeting was under circumstances which made their conversation yesterday particularly pleasant to them, = They were Buffalo Bill, White Beaver, and ]’nl?’ Bob. They were reviewing jincidents of «their lives on the plains, and accounting for their whereabouts since their separation at a camp in the rockv mountains when Buffalo l‘ill and White Beaver went as oscorts of Gen. Custer against a band of hostile Indians, and Pony Bob went in an opposite direction, carrying on horse- back guo,ooo of the trust money of the American express company. “Do you remember that little jaunt of ours, Powell?” said Buffalo Bill, as he looked at White Beaver and addressed him by the name which he had known since they were boys together in the wagon trains that hauled freight over the mountains before there were any rail- roads, Yes,” ‘replied White “‘Remember it! Beaver, “'it was the last time I went with Custer.” “Ono of my last, too,” said Buffalo Bill, “and speaking of it recalls my first d ltrip with ‘him. It was soon after the close of the rebellion, I was then a scout in the department of the Platte, stationod at Fort Hayes. Custer got into camp late one evening, and asked for a guide to lead him and his eight men to Fort Larned, The commander told him he wonld have a man in soon who could go. I had been out skylarking wround, and when I got 1nto camp at 10 o'clock that night Custer was in the quartermaster’s office waiting for me, The commander introduced us. Health is Wealth! B Dr E.

The trip mnst be made in quick time. Can you lead me?—I told him I thought I could dangle along behind at lenst, and that I would be ready to start about day-break. ‘Weare well mounted,’ id, ‘and you must have a good horse, got one you can_trust for su o trip? I just sort o’ smiled to myself as I thought of that big dun mule which had come to be known as a part o’ me, and said: ‘Yes, I've got a good one.’ The general said good night, and at once pulled in. I slipped out and gave my mule a good feed and bed and then hus- tled off to my my quarters. 1 was sure to go through WiAl the general, for I knew that mule was a stayer. ““Next morning at revelle I pulled up on my big dun mule. Custer and his men were ready; they were on Kentucky thoroughbreds, 1 saluted the general, and the mule pricked u{: his ears to liston to the music. The mule always felt well when he pricked up; his ears. ‘You ain't going to ride that thing, are you?’ asked the general. ‘Remember, we must make this trip in a hurry.’ I told him I thought I would get there, and without another word we racket out. That horse of his was a dandy, and it hurried me to keep until we got out of the sand, about twenty miles, ‘This is Smoky Hill fork,” suys I, ‘and the sand will make it bad traveling.” I put my spurs in the mule’s side and shot out shead. 1 was in the lead about one hundred yards for several miles, and kept the spurs on the skin all the time, but would pretend to be pull- ing back en the mulo when the general was looking at me. I saw his horse was panting, and that he was about to draw up, o I slacked my mule until he came along. The men were trailing behind, and when ho camo up ho said ‘we'd better halt awhile and let the horses blow.’ I said right,’ and climbed down. When the men reached us and rested we started again, and X took my place in the lead. Custer's horse was about played, but the durn mule skited along over the sand like a scared deer. Along in the after- noon we came to Pawnee fork, and I told Custer it was just fifteen miles to Fort Larned, and that the rest of the way was &0 direct he and his men could make it without danger of getting lost. ‘Well,’ said he, “if the road is clear go on, and fcr God's sake don’t tell any of the boys that Custer ever kicked against that mule, The next time one of you fellow want to ride a buffalo or a bear I won' say a word,” He never met me after that but what he asked about ‘that dun mule.’ Ho was one of the best men in the ser. i redskins, Say, what a t of the coun flrm'l" asked Bn‘l;{lo Bill, “1 ain't certain,” White Beaver ans- worthy to wear the trophy of their nation ~the overcoat of white heaver They had collected the skina and had the coat made while I was with them. 1 wore it a fow times (have it at home now,) and the boys gave me the name ‘White Bea- ver.' “The Indians have never since call- ed me anything else.” “Well, now, that's agood story, Po- well,” said Buffalo Bill, *‘Of course it's an old song with you that T got my name by killing sixty-nine buffalos on one hunt, and 4.280 in eighteen months for the con- struction force of the Kansas Pacific rail- road. Suppose Pony Bob tells us how he got his name.” “Fasy enough, and hard work at the same time,”’ replied the little man, “‘For years, you know, 1 carried all the money of the Wells-Fargo company across the Sierras. I seldom had less than 850,000 along, and would have been good picking for a broken miner. That was long be- fore there were railroads, and under the circumstances I had to have good horses. Thero was one run of ninety miles over the rango that I had to make every day. Ono morning, just as I was starting, a ranchman came along and said: ‘Uockeye (I was known by that name then), I want to make this ’ore trip with you just to show you that your horseain’t any good compared with my new mule.’ I raid, ‘All right,’ and we started. The hills and the sand were too much for his mule, Tt pegged out on the last fifteen miles, and he had to come in behind.

ATalk With a Philadelphia Manu- facturer, Philadolphia Ledger. $ One of Philadelphia’s oldest cigar manufacturers—a man of forty-two years’ exporience in the business—chatted the other day about domestic and imported cigars. **You are making the same mistake that so many Americans make,” said he, when the superiority of Cuban | tobacco was suggested. ‘It is a great error to suppose that the best tobacco comes trom Cuba,” he continued. “*There is just as poor tobacco raised in Cuba as in this country. We have as good tobacco here as any in the world, only with this ditfer- ence as compared with Cuba: there they ticle for the price, and I think that Phil- adelphia beats other parts of the country in this respect. Here the manufacturers pay attention to quality first and looks ofterwards, Tn New York it is just the reverse, There they are all for looks and the quality can take care of itself, The good five cent cigars are made of domestic wrapper and_binders and part domestio and Havana fillers. ““As to tho number of cigars consumed in this country annually I can only give an approximate figure, but I think that 2,000,000,000 would be about near the mark. As to what constitutes a good judge of tobacco, 1 could no more de- scribe than I could tell you what makes a good judge of music. “A judge knows by the ‘grain’ of the tobacco whether it is good or not, and that is all that can be said on the subject. It is all a matter of natural bent.” The same gentloman then told briefly tho process of cigar manufacturing after the case of tobacco leaves has reached the factory., Ho maid that after the case is opened the tobacco is removed and dam- pened with water and allowed to remain iu this condition for two or threc days. When it becomes soft and silky by the creeping of the moisture to every part of the leaf. It is then repacked in the case and “re-sweated” for the purpose of re- moving the impurities and for obtaining a darker color. The mode adopted in re- sweating is to subject the tobacco to a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and this takes from three to twenty days. After this the stem is taken out and the leaves are put in half pound packages with the pomnts of the leaves together. Theso packages then go into the work- men’s hands and are made up into cigars and packed in boxes. The packing, he said, is no small partof the business, for upon the packer devolves the duty of se- lecting cigars of identical shade and color a thing which requires very sharp eyes and much experience, BLONDIN'S RIDER, Signor Natalie, the man who rode on Blondin’s back when he performed the most hazardous feat in history at Niagara falls, is in the city. r. Natalie is now a venerable looking man of G2 years, al- though his vigor is well preserved. He speaks English imperfectly, but can be quite readily understood. He is prob- ably one of the greatest travelers in the country. most of his travels having been incident to the professien of catering to the amusement loving public. He traveled with Strakosch for 16 years, went over 18,000 miles in the service of Henry Ward Beecher, and was last year the advance agent of Salvini. ‘I first met, Blondin,” said he this morning to a Post- Dispatch reporter, ‘‘in the Bavell troupe, of which we were both members, way back in the fifties. He was, I think, about my.age, and was not quite so tall as 1, though very powerful. I think he was about 5 feet 7 inches high. We traveled all over the country with the raise good tobacco in proportionately larger quantities. That isall. It is no better, only there is more of it, Take, for instance, the tobacco produced in Pennslyvania, Connecticut and Wiscon- sin. Among these tobaccos you can pick out as fine a quality as there is in the world, provided you are judge enough to know good tobacco when you see it. Un- fortunately, good judges of tobacco are very few indeed. In a large crop, say of Pennsylvania tobacco, 1 can pick out fifty different kinds, ranging all the way up from the vilest ‘‘cabbage leaf” to the finest that Cuba or elsewhere Pru- duces* 1f our people were as careful in ‘gelection’ and would manufacture ci e i i et ey l“dBWhIIx:lBuv"' "ll;m Was 8 ood man, He a great heart in Nebraska Cornice|ii *“By the way, wasn't he up in your when you got your upon the Cuban principle, there woul leas talk of the superiority of the ‘pure Havauna,' The principle of the manu- facture of cigars is & peculiar thing. It requiresmore judgment and manipulation to produce a gomg cigar than nine tenths of the people have any idea, The great point in making a good cigaris good judgment: in selecting the tobacco, care in preparation of the tobacco for the workman, and proper treatment of the lattor after it gets into his hands. The best part of a cured leaf of tobacco is its point, and its worst is where the stem enters the leaf, Between these two points there regular gradation of ex- cellence from the point of the leaf dow wards, Bearing this fact in mind, it is obvious that the careful workman will so construct his cigar, the best part of the leaf will always point towards that end of the cigar which is lighted, and this fact applies to fillers, binders and wrap- pers, This is the Cuban plan, and they had for a long time the advantage of us in this country, for here the tobacco was thrown in indiscriminately. At the present time,however, the Cuban method dopted by many of our manufacturers, and the result is seen in much better cigars. *‘The trouble with the Americans is the idea ourrent thal 0od cigar can not be obtained unless a hifih it. This is an error. 1 can make a selec- tion of Pennsylvania tobaccoo and pro- duce a cigar that will deceive an expert. 1 can make a domestic cigar and sell it|about 260 pounds? for less than an imported cigar, and it will at the same time be su latter. An imported cigar troupe, and remember We played here, at what I think was called the old Bates theater. Blon- din's specialty was_tight rope dancing and he wasa wonderful performer, I guess there are people here who remem ber his performance. His most danger- ous feat was to walk up a tight rope from the stage to the gallery of the theator, the incline being very steep. Well, while we were in New York state he thought what a big thing it would be to cross over Niagara on a tight-rope, so he left the troupe and made an arrange- ment with the railroad companies lead- ing to the falls by which he was to give a performance there, and was to receive a certain amount on every ticket sold by the railroads. ''hat was in the summer of 1861. A tremen- dous crowd of people gathered that day at the falls, and it was a nice day for our purpose. I was no periormer, but acted, you know, in the capacity of manager. In this particular event, however, Blon- din had to carry something over on hi back, and as nobody else had enough in- enough faith in Blondin’s strength and » had to do the ridin, have disappeared.”’ thesame as rope walkers usually do, cept that he had on a sort of harness, so that I could reach around his neck and things like swings, and cross them in arms or legs.” “‘How much did you weigh?” “‘More than' I do now—about 163 pounds, I think,” **Did he carry a balance pole?”’ ““Oh, of course. sary with me on his back than if he was e carried an un- price is paid for | usually heavy pole—had to, you know.

Yorty years ago Colonel John Van Arman, the famous criminal lawyer of Chicago, ate a poisoned biscuit before a Michigan jury, and by that act securod the acquittal of 8 women charged with attempting to murder her husband, From that time until now the story of the poisoned biscuit has been , told throughout the northwest many hun- dreds of times by lawyers and others, but it has seldom been told correctly. So far as known the true version Jas never ap- peared in print. Since the incorrect story of the matter has received such wide circulation, a_reliable narrative of the incident will doubtless prove read- ablo to many. Somewhere between the years of 1840 and 1845, the wife of a farmer of Hills- dale county, Mich., baked some biscuits ome Sunday morning, and then went to church, leaving her husband to take din- ner alone. As he sat down to his meal, however, a young farm laborer came to the house and joined him at his repast. Each ate of the newly-baked biscuits, but quickly found them unpalatable, and put them aside. Neither one had eaten more than half a biscuit. Both were soon taken violently ill and displayed strong symptoms of arsenical poisoming. The young man recovered from his sickness after some days of intense suffering, but the farmer lingered in a dying condition for more than a year, and finally exvired. Sixteen years before this time the farmer had married his wife for her money. She brought him $3,000. He purchased a farm with this amount, and in a few years became quite fore-handed. His greatest enjoyment, apparently, was to annoy nis wife in every conceivablo manner, His favorite amusement was to pull their little child out of bed in the night and beat it cruelly. They finally concluded to obtain a divorce from each other. Tho farmer agreed to give his wife a lien on his property for $1,600 for the support of herself and her child. The mortgage was made out and placed in a lawyer's hands to await the divorce. The wife, in cnsideration of the mortgage, signed o nit cluim deed to all her hus- band’s property. On the eve of the granting of the divorce the farmer seeur- ed the mortgage and destroyed it, in- tending to put the deed on racord after the divorece was granted. His wife dis- covered the cheat and stopped the divorce proceedings. She then deliberately planned to kill her husband. Shesought a reconciliation and went back to Live with him. One day she disguised herself in male attire, went to Hillsdale, and purchased a quantity of arsenic. This she mixed in a baten of biscuits, and left them for her husband to eat In a short time she was arrested. By law the woman could not be tried for murder because her husband lived more than a year after he was poisoned. She was indioted for poisoning, and put on trial in Hillsdale. Mr. Van Arman, then a young mau, with a law office in Mar- shall, Mich., defended her. A. young French chemist from Detroit testified aglinafi the accused. He was the only chemisy that Detroit afforded, and he was a very incompetent one. This-young | man swore before the jury that he had analyzed several of the biscuits which the prisoner made for her husband’s eat- ing and had found they ccntained arse- nic. From his'quantitative analysis he swore positively that the husband had swallowed less than a grain of arsenic, The chemist further swore thata grain of arsenic was a deadly dove, and that even lozs might be fatal. There were no railroads in. Michigan at that early day, and there wasnot another chemist nearer than Chicago. Mr. Van Arman, who had studied chemistsy in his youth,and had even delivered lectures on the subject, plainly saw that the Frenchman’s testimony was wofully in- correct. Mr. Van Arman contended be- fore the jury that a grain of arsenic was only a medicinal dose, and that the defendant’s husband, therefore, must “The entire weight he carried was The rope was stretched or to the |across the river about where the new is usually | suspension bridge now stands—mucl have become fatally ill through some other agency than poison in the biscuits. Ho could produce no expert testimony to substantiate his theory, because no ex- perts were within reach, Knowing that a grain of arsenic would not seriously affect the human system,” he caused a number of biscuits to be baked by a phy- nician of the town, each of them contain- ing a grain of the deadlysubstance.
