AKameleaa Heroine. CUngo Bml. A lady residing in Buffalo has shattered all the traditious upon at least one subject and at the same time earned for herself a niche in the temple of fame. Unfortunately the local chroni cler lion not given her name, and until the omission is recti fied the niche must remain un occupied. This woman, in whose veins inuxt run spartan blood, had just put on her gloves to go out calling when a mouse ran across the room. She gave chase, but it dodged and doubled and ran between her feet. Then iho lost eight of it. She looke l carefully about for a moment or two, and thea concluding it had escaped she went out to make a call. In the midst of a vivacious conversation she felt something moving in her dress and tmmedia'ely bethought ner it was the mouse. Did she rise and shake herself? No. Did she scream and jump on the chair? No. Did she fall over in a fit? No. She simply nudged the mouse to make it keep quiet and w nt on with her rattling gossip. When the call was over she went home, shook her dress vigorously and the mouse drop ped out and ran for its life. But the brave lady whacked it with her umbrella and finished its career.

HEAD OF THE t HEAP LATEST NEWS FROM WASH IsGTOS. "AS You Like It." Washington, Dec. 8. The fight against the Force Bill stil draws its length along. While the surface ind "cations were not significant, thera was no little disturbance on tha Republican side on account of the telegram from Ocala, Florida, to the ef fect that tho Farmer's Alliance had unanimously denounced the force bill. Partisan Statesman of the Rowell, Lodge, and Car ter stripe m the Houes were quick to characterize the AI hance as a "Democratic annex.' and to assert that the resolutions meant nothing and would have no effect. This was also Sena tor Hoar's idea, but there were quite a number of other Sena tors, who, while they were not out spoken, may be regarded as anxious to heed any utterance ot the Alliance. . Senators In galls, Plumb, Stanford and others are not likely to disre gard the voice of the Alliance. especially wnen that voice is . II a a not indirect conflict with their own opinions. The Farmer's Alliance is a lartre representa tive body, influential in most of the states of the West and South and gaming a foothold in the eastern States. The Alliance steadily opposes anything like sectionalism and bases its oppo siuon to the election's bill on that ground. Whatever prof es sions are made by the advocates of the various billa to regulate federal elections now or lately before Uongress, - the treneral public have regarded the cen tral proposition in all these su&r gested measures as either intend ed to correct or create a sec tional evil in politics. The Re publicans insist upon the form er construction, the Democrats upon the latter. Into this com plication of political interests comes the Farmer's Alliance with a clean cut denunciation of the bill that passed the House. Chairman Dunnellof the Cen sus Committee said yesterday to your correspondent that the committee would ! )."in consid eration of 'the apportionment bill next week, and that he did not doubt but that it would be before the House bdfore the Christmas holidays. He was of the opinion that the question raised by New York City as to the accuracy of her enumeration should not delay preparation of the appointment bill, for if it should be decided after fair and full consideration that New York City's claim was just, the matter could be fixed so as to give New York the membership to which she was entitled. I find from numerous conversa tions with prominent Democrats that the latter will not agree to an aportionment which will keep the House at its present membership of 332. They would ose eight member, one in alary and, Virginia, Kentucky, Ten nessee, bouth Carolina and In diana, and two in New York, while they would gain one each in Arkanxass, New Jersey and Texas. On the other hand the Republicans would lose only two, one each in Maine and Ohio, and gain one in Califor nia, Oregon and Wnslnnton, aud three in Nebraska. The roitortion of loss and gain is so uruely in favor of the Republi cans that the Democrats will contend for some other method of appointment. A bill was introduced in the louw. yesterday, by Represen tative Bland, of Missouri requir ing the Secretary of the lrea-j nary to prepare a new series of j Treasury notes, commonly call- i ed greenbacks, and issue them in sums equal to the amount of national bank notes that may be from time to time surrender ed for redemption or cancella tion by national banking asso ciations. Representative Bland also introduced a bill arthoriz ing the issue of a new series of gal-tender notes to meet any deticiences in the revenues of the Government. A preamble to this bill recites that a defi ciency in the revenues is now threatened, and the country is not in a condition to bear any further taxation. It authorises tho Secretary of the Treasury to prepare and issue legal-tedder Rotes, common called green backs, in payment of current obligations of the Gover anient. These notes are to be in addi tion to the legal-tender notes now authorized, may be reissu ed as legal-tender notes are now reissued; and are to bo availa ble for all monetary purposes. Much interest is manifested by tncmberi ot tho House and particularly by , western mem bers, in the appointment of unairman ot the committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures, to succeed Mr. Conger, of Iowa, who resigned to become Minis ter to Brazil. Mr. Wickman of Ohio, is the senior member of the Committee, but his views on the silver question do not coincide with those of Speaker Reed. Mr. Walker, of Massa chusetts, is the next member in point of seniority, and he sup ports the Speaker in opposition to free coinage, it is the opin ion oi members of the coinage committee that speaker Keed will select the Chairman from outside the committee. From reliable sources it is un derstood that no river and har bor appropriation bill will be passed this session. The River and Harber Committee of the House may not even betrin the preparation of a bill. I under stand from what General Hen derson of the Committee said yesterday that he is of the opin lori that the Committee would let the bill go over. However. a meeting of the Committee will probably be called to take for mal action in the subject soon. Chiee Brooks of the Secret Service in his report, states that during the year, 346 arrests were made by Secret Service agents. Most of them were for counterfeiting and passuier counterfeit money, uonuictions were secured and hfty-seven cases, and fines to the amount of 19,163 imposed, and the of fenders sentenced. Counterfeit money to the amount of $316,731 was seized. A KUSSIAN ROMANCE. A Widower Refuses to Part with the Body of Ilia Wife. romantic story, stranee if true, is published, says Giilig nanni, of a wealthy Russian gentleman living iii his own house on the banks of the Seine, who, for the last ten years. has kept in a box in a private room the embalmed body of his young wife. She was murdered a few days after marriage, and her sorrowing husband ob tained the Czar's permission to take her body away with him. he discovery was made by the prying propensities of the cook eft in charge of the house dur ing the temporary absence of her master. There is a curious side to the story, which, if true, will need explanation. How was it that a police commissary, being informed of the discov ery of a corpse in the house of i ncn ioreigner, snouia nave n(t ii there and simply written to the owner of the house for information? Those gentlemen hesitate about making even for cible entries into houses in which they even suspect there is some thing they ought to know, see or take possession of. The law of France forbids absolutely the i ? . - i i i seeping vi a ueau ooav in any place but a cemetery. The Rus sian gentleman hopes to obtain pecial permission from higher Suartersto remain the eusto ian of his beloved relic. If not he threatens to country .rather tlmu part with it. The Farmer 'a Convention. Ljachbarg Adraaoa. The National Convention of the Farmers' Alliance, at Ocala, la., on Saturday transacted much important business. The St. Louis platform was adopted unanimously after some amend ments. The sub-treasury is not i part of this platform. It pro vides tor the free coinage of sil ver and expansion of the cur rency by the issue of the treas ury notes direct to the i-eople, without the intervention of banks, in sufficient volume to meet the business requirements of the country and as cheaply as the banks now get them. The issue is to be basee upon the products of the industry, and not bonds,, as at present, through the national banking system. This plan omits details that have given rise to discus sion, and it is widely different from the bill which has been introduced in Congress. President L. L. i'olk,of North Carolina, was' enthusiastically re-elected, and but few changes were made in the officers of the organization. Mr. lilits, of Kansas, was made lecturer, vice Benjamin Tyrell, of Texas. Mr. Wilhts is a probable contentant for the United States Senate to succeed Hon. J. J. I n trails. This ap pointment will greatly aid him in his aspirations. Wclborn Bros., of Davidson county, raised C33 bushels of corn on 10 acres. SIOUX WILL NOT TAKE THE WARPATH UN LESS DRI V EN TO DESPAIR. Sitting Bull a Venerable Fraud. A dispatch sent from Rush ville, Neb., to the New York star a few days aero savs: "If this trouble with the reli gious frenzied section of the bioux results m anything more serious man has been so far ex penenced, the men best able to speak of the matter will be grievously disappointed. It is shown by them that, while the ghost dances are participated in by some of the most Deaceablv disposed Indians a fact which has given rise to stories of Sit- ting Bull's ereat influence a great majority have no inten tion of going further. If it comes to a question of takini? warpath or repudiating Sitting xjuii, wicjr win quicjtiy accept the latter alternative. The one great obstacle to the plans of the malcontents is Red Cloud, Chief of the Sioux Na tion. He is for peace, and de nounces the trhost dance in un measured terms. The old chief tain knows that all this trouble will do injury to his people, and wishes to stop it before matters get to such a stage that it will be impossible to bring it to an end without damage to his fin ancial interests. The old fel low knows full well the value of a dollar, and, furthermore, understands that it is worth something for him to keeD Deace. and that the Government is willing to pay him well for his influence. Red Cloud is nrobablv the shrewdest Indian alive. He is not a warrior in the full accep tation of the term as the Sioux apply it. His wisdom in coun. cil has earned him reputation. n all the wars between his tribe and their enemies thenlan of battle laid down by him has been carefully followed with uniform success. He is married, 1 . 1 a ... ' out nas no heir, and bis succes 8onn office will be American lorse. his cousin. Red Cloud is very jealous of the popularity oi American iiorse. inev mar ried sister, daughters of Rising oun. No Indian in the Sioux Nation is entitled to mors respect than American Horse. Herse. He is a fine-looking fellow, broad- shouldered' deep-chested, and perhaps fifty years old, some ten or fifteen years the junior of Red Cloud. He is regarded as an honest man, of peaceable inclinations, and has the res pect of both white and red men. American Horse is undoubtedly the most capable warrior of his tribe. He directed the battle of Little Big Horn, where Cus ter and his men were annihi lated, although many persons ignorant of the real facts gave that old humbug. Sitting Bull. credit for this work. When Col. Thomas Wilkinson, now of New York, but a former resident of Dakota, was appointed Indian Agent at Pine Ridge, he said that the friendship of one man like American Horse was worth a dozen Red Clouds. If war was declared, the former would un doubtedly be elected chief , for he has in his following sub chiefs like Little Wound, Rocky Bear, Short Bull, Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horse and Big Wound. They are all fighters. Little Wound, who is getting a good deal of notoriety just now, is pretty well along in years, lie has always been a bad Indian in fact, one of the worst but he does not rank with American Horse in impor tance. Rocky Beans more to be feared than any of these tur bulent fellows. He is a fighter from the tips of his moccasins up, and is revered by every buck. American Horse gives Rocky Bear credit for leading the final charge on Custer. Just now Rocky Bear is inclined to be ugly. If he gets out among his followers with the intention of causing trouble, he will come nearer to organizing a lively scalping party than any one else, lie is, to a certain extent, under the inllncncc of Ameri can Horse, and if under handled carefully will be docile enough. To show the rciative standing of the men named, it may not be unfair to say that lied Cloud bears to the Sioux much the same relation as Lincoln did to tho North: American Horse is the Grant; Rocky Bear is the Sheridan, Little Wound, Short Bull and the others are generals of varying reputations. What position Red Cloud would take in case of serious trouble is a mystery. He is unlike the average Sioux in respect to thrift, for the old man is wealthy He knows that his people would be slaughtered and his property conficated. To refuse to go out with his people if such a course is decided upon in council, would be a course without precedent among the red men. The position occupied by Sit ting Bull is very much misun derstood. He is a medicine man, a sort of high priest, and in this present Messianic craze pretends io oe an aposiie oi tne coming Saviour. He is a witty old sin ner of the greatness shrewdness, but not a warrior, for he never participated in a : battle. , nis value to the leaders has been in working upon the superstitious feelings of the braves until they were ready to fight anything. Besides, he is a schemer who has been useful to the chiefs, whose abilities lie their courage to go on to death rather than mapping out a plan of action Sitting Bull got credit all over America for the slaughter of. Custer, when he was not nearer than three miles of the battle- neld, and was treated with by the Government officials until they found out that he could answer only for himself. That war was a gold mine for old Bull. As soon as peace was . brought about he settled down to his normal station as a medi cine man without a job. His hut on the reservation was an object of ridicule, and its inhab itant one of contempt. ; The bucks poked fun at the old sham who was consequently very much dissatisfied with his sur roundings. Matters were like this when his foxy brain dis covered an opportunity in the pretended coming of a Messiah. te is undoubtedly inclined to favor the warpath at once, be- leving that he will be treated more generously than he was after the other disturbance, and hoping to regain favor with his tribe. t The natural cause against war is Winter. Fifteen years ago this was a vast prairie, more like a desert than anything else. -' Now it is thickly settled, and a call to arms would bring out thousands of hardy farmers, who would go to the front to ftrotect their homes and fami ies. With a hard Winter star ing them in the face, very lit- T..iX it..! uuuoiu Kiiuswr lueiruuniEa after the first raid on the ranch es, the wise Sioux will hesitate a long time before he dons the war-paint. There is undoubtedly some reason for complaint on the part of the Indians, and probably this trouble will have the effect of calling attention to their wrongs. When President Cleve land appointed Col. Wilkenson to Pine Ridge Agency a count of the Indians resulted in tha finding of 8,000, although Dr. McGilicuddy had been given rations for 12,000. It was as serted that there were -really 10.000 there at the time, and tho natural increase would render it 13,000 or more now. If the Indians have been taken care of on the basis of 8,000, as some assert, it is no wonder that they are dissatisfied, for they must nave been underfed. The report sent out from Pine ' Ridge that troops were on their way to Wounded Knee is false. Promises have been sent from different bands that they will come in at once. Whether they do or not, troops will be kept at i ii' ugeiK-ien uu iiuer. Ex-Agent Gallagher in an in terview said that he was not in clined to accept the responsibi lity for the present trouble at Pine Ridge. He admitted that during his last days thero dis cipline was not up to the mark, but says that was due to politi cal machinations looking to his removal, ne cnargea the author ities at Washington with delib erately breaking faith with tho Indians, and especially with violating promises made by General Crook and others of the Commission that negotiated the treaty of 1889. At present the greatest diflicultyt lies in the shortnesof rations. Every body but Royer now seems to court the inevitable investiga tion. Royer has threatened his employes with dismissal if aught is said by any of them again his course. Drlamater & Co. Asaiffn. Mrapville, Pa., Dec. 5. Q. W.
