":,,lSil DMIQF. ABIG INDUS. Tb E-wd-teary Chief ot tbt Biota " Ration. How At""'' KV U There was a funeral at the Pin Ridge Agency a few weekB ago of an lwliun duel, wno was a mare imnw, -and as great in diplomacy aa he was.ia battle". llis name was Young-Man-Afraid-of-IIi8-Uors, and he was the hereditary chief of the whole Sioux nation. He was fifty-eight years of age at the time of his death, and was a son of the fa mous old warrior "A-Mon-Afraid-of-Ilis-Horscs," who died in 1889 at the age of ninety-two, and whose life Is intimately connected with the frontier history of thiB country since the early davs of the century. When an Indian wants to emphasise, a fact strongly, he says the exact op posite of what he means, and so the name of the dead chief is a specimen of Indian satire. His father, in his fights with other Indians, adopted the tactics of the whites. The usual method of the In dians is to ride "In circles around the object of attack, narrowing the diam eter of the circle as the fight proceeds. But the father used the regulation cavalry charge a method of warfare that at once distinguished him, and he was given a name which meant "a man of whose horses the enemy is afraid." The Sioux satirist thought to improve on this and condensed it to: ' A-Man-Afraid-of-Uis-Horses." The old man's son, the chief now dead, continued his father's system of tactics, Bnd. with the chieftaincy, was given the title: " Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horscs." - . He was contemporaneous as a chief tain of the Sioux with such Indians as Red Cloud. Sitting Bull; Spotted Tail, American Horse, Black Bear, Lone Wolf. Red Leaf and White Thunder, all of whom were men of undoubted courage and natural leaders of their neonle. He occupied a peculiar position as chief. His- Indian subjects believed that he had great influence with the whites, and they were constantly as ing him to have their grievances re- dressed. On the other hand, Gens. Crook and WlleB recognised that his sway was less disputed than that of any other Indian chief, and they used him to ac complish results which, withont nun, could only have been secured by threats and hard fighting. He recognized the great strength of the whites, and became a wise meui- a tor. He was also-possessed of excep tional ability, and saw that there was greater honor to himself and benefit to his neonle bv living in peace, both with the white and the red" men, than in be ing in constant conliict with them. At one time, he had a habit -of going out on a hunt with a small force, meet- ii!-r a superior force of Crows or Paw nees, giving them battle and coming off victorious. But about twelve years ago, he and a band of Sioux went to the Little Mis souri on a buffalo hunt. Spotted Horse and Crazy Head, two of the biggest chiefs of the Crows, were also there with a party of their people. Young' Wan-Afraid, instead of fighting his hereditary enemie3, arranged a peace treaty, and since that time the two na tions have been the best ot mends. tic recognized the fact that with the disappearance of the buffalo the In dian of the plains would no longer be able to resist the advance of civiliza tion, and, although a great buffalo hunter, he made a strong effort to pre serve that animal. But when its extermination was as sured, he advocated peace with-Hhe whites, and was ever trnsndiy witn them, although sometimes strongly tempted otherwise. i " 1 In 1890 and 1801, when the Messiah craze was at its height, and the Sioux were engaged in ghost dances, the dead chief did not encourage them, and could not eee that they would get any lieuciit iroia their actions, but he held that noons had a right to interfere with them unless they committed some a t of violence. lie was absent at the time of the tattle of Wounded Knee, but returned soon afterward, and cast the weight of his (Treat influence with the Indians for pence. Vv hen he went back to his people nfu r hi", first visit to Washington, in 1K70. he described to them what he had ae"ii and heard on the journey. He tn!.l t'lcai about the iron horse which coiricd bim. They understood all that. It was v. hite man's medicine. He told them about talking wires (telegraph), and they understood that also; it was white man's magic. Hut whan he told them about build ings six K.iil seven stories high, that was too much, ami he would have to take it back. But he would not, and, as they could not doubt his sincerity, they came to the conclusion that the whites had given him a draught to drink which had bewitched him.

Touching the causes of this abandonment the report says: There is a strange fascination in city life which has always existed and which leads many who are under its spell to prefer poverty and privation in the city to independence and comfort in the country. This fascination is in tensified by the undoubted benefits which the modern olty offers to those within or near it And yet it must oe ulmitted that the promise which leads, tn the abandonment of country life is frequently unfulfilled. The movement vom the country toward the oity may iffeot indeed has affected, the labor market in two wavs; it may lead to a dearth of agricultural labor in'the.de pleted districts, thus adding, to the burdens which tn too many oases -uie farmer already bears, and it may in tensify the competition to which the oity laborer is subjected, both as to employment ana as to wages. nn competition reacts upon those -who come to the city for the purpose of im proving their fortunes, only to find the onnostunities open to them constantly growing less. On the other hand, the life of the farmer, notwithstanding its burdens, was never so easy in many re spects as at present The improve ments due to modern invention have lightened farm labor, while the rail road, the telegraph and the press have Hrnmrht the most retired f arms into communication with the activities of the aire.

That some of the burdens under which le suffers might be and ought to be cmoved is undeniable; but there are June in the city, working for low wages, liable to periodical employ ment, to whom life on the abandoned arm would offer an agreeable change; only they must first be convinced that such a change is desirable. KILLED HIMSELF FOR A LIVING. AlarUl:n awlmtlor Who Took a Kovel Uoan ot Retdlus the Wind. Gillet, a professional mendieitnt of raris, has the peculiar merit of being the organizer of a trick for raising funds which was unknown and un dreamed of In the philosophy of the ablest repre:.ontatives of the old Lour des Miracles, says a writer in the London Tnlcgrnph. He pretended to hang himself from a tree seven times during the summer, and on each occa sion he was cut down from his gibbet by (lood fcumaritans, who invariably sent round the hat for him on the spot. In some instances the rescuers may have been (lillet's confederates, but ac cording to what can be gathered he usually preferred to work alone. Hav ing selected a fine day for his opera tions, Gillet dressed himself carefully and went to the woods of Boulogne or Vincennes, He next made choice of a tree near where youug children were playing, and having put a noose round his neck strung himself up. Then he crooned and attracted the sMItrren, who ran in alarm to their mothers or nurses, until in a moment there was a crowd around him. Men summoned to the spot and sometimes the women who were called, extricated the artful mendicant from his apparently peril ous position. He was extended on the grass, his hands were rubbed, cordials were pressed to his Hps and smell ing bottles put under his nose. When he revived the first question put to him was naturally: Why did ho do it? Pointing to a pocket of his coat he would say: "Here is a letter which will explain all!" The document be ing opened contained a communication to the effect that Gillet wanted to hang himself of his own free will. HiB desire to die was caused by destitution, and he had not eaten for two days. A collection being made for the Bufferer he instantly regained the use of his : A Clubbing Offer.

InltTi RoUtitKM Betwm the Csar ef ' BuMia BJMl a Oanlsb Uound. The sovereign in Europe who stands most in need of a friend and compan ion whose fidelity 'and' loyalty are above all suspicion is the unfortunate etar, who, like his predecessors on the throne of Peter the Great, has so often found himself deceived and betrayed by just those of his courtiers, his offi cials and even his relatives upon wnom he had bestowed the greatest amount of kindness. Under these circumstances it is not astonishing, says the New York Trib une, that he should place hii principal reliance on a anperb and h'.i, 'e Danish dog, with short, mouse-coluved hair and quite as big as a young aonucy. The doe. a eift of his father-in-law, King Christian, of Denmark, is the successor of a similar hound, which lost its life in the terrible railroad ac cident at Borki, when the imperial train was entirely destroyed, the czar and czarina escaping all injury save . the shock to their nerves in the most miraculous manner. Alexander's pres ent dog is not only by his side when he walks out, asleep beside bis beu at night, bnt is also present when he grants audiences, sniffing at strangei-!- in an inquiring and sometimes suipi- -cious manner, which is not witnout exercising a certain influence upon the treatment accorded by the czar to his visitor. Hale aa4 aurte Uraiiu. A physician who has had much expe rience of the insane has examined the brains of one thousand six hundred subject. He comes to the conclusion that nature makes palpable difference between male and female brains. First, there is a difference in weight, the male beta heavier, possibly by one ounce, relative to weight of body? second, while the frontal lotics arc equal in the sexes, the parietal are lanrer in the male and the occipital in the female, who, consequently, has rmicker perceptions; thud, tne lemaic brain is less convoluted in the gray matter and has less service; fourth, the blood supply is more copious in the anterior lobes in the male and the posterior has a larger supply in the fe male, and these parts have diScrent activities. The blood of the feniale is also poorer in corpuscles, there bcinK half a million less in a cubic niilli meter. He fears tbat the tendency of too much education or intellectual de velopment in women it to make them lose beauty. He instances the Zovo women of India. They ore supreme, They woo the men, control tho affairs of the home and nation, transmit prop erty and leave man nothing to do. The result is that they are the ugliest women on earth. Magistrate (to prisoner) : "You are found vulltv of meeting the plaintiff in a lonely street, knocking him down, and robbing him of everything except a valuable gold watch which he had with him. What have you to say?" Pris oner "Had be a gold watch with him at the time?" Magistrate: sympathizers treated them to a brief autobiographical sketch, which set forth that he was a respectable young man from the country who had been stranded in Paris and could flnd.no work to do. It is recorded that Gillet performed this trick with great suc cess between July and September, not only in the woods about Paris, but also in the park at Versailles and in the forest of Ht Germain, in tne last mentioned place he had the good for tune to be cut down just as a generous Paris banker was passing by, who gave him a liberal donation. Gillet natur ally took care to tie his noose in a man ner calculated to proauce me eiieei which ho intended without imperiling his life. In the winter, when the woods arc comparatively deserted, Gil let adopted the old trick of pretending to faint or to novo an epileptic fit at the comer of the street. His fraud has at last been detected and charita ble people have been warned iifraiust his knavery, which has not only de ceived ordinary men and women "but also astute members of the police force.

From time to time references ore seen in the daily papers, referring to the difficulty experienced by the ferry companies, car lines, etc., in disposing of enormous accumulations of ordinary copper cents. The reader is very apt to remember this, particularly if in exchange for a dollar bill he is re turned ninety-five one-cent pieces uy a conductor.

New Jersey ferry companies, the ele vated railroads of both New York and lirooklyn and the various slot-machine companies are regular customers tor the exchange of cents for other money at the sub-treasury. At times they turn in enormous quantities, the slot companies alone ranging between one hundred tnd twenty-five and seven hundred dollars a day. As might be expected, all sorts of oddities in the way of coin come in with the quantity taken in the machines. In addition to the counterfeits are scores of "not one cents" of war times, metal discs and foreign copper, Austrian money predominating. As the copper cent is simply a token, no matter what its condition is, it is redeemed at par if it can in any way be identified as Uuited States money The popularity of the slot machine a yenr or so ago brought about a curious condi tion of affairs in the country. This was nothing short of a "cent famine." The headquarters of the company is in Sew York, and oil agents sent their cents here for redemption, which drained the country of its supply and overstocked the minor coin vaults of the subtreasury here with cents.
