Sheidan Heart Again Attacked Troubles, and Fast Foiling by Apparently All Hope Abandoned Additional Medical Advice Sought. Vasjilnuton, May 31. A bulletin is sued after 8 o'clock this morning says since the alarming occurrence noted in ths bulletin isucd at 12:43 a. in., Gener al Sherman has slowly recovered from his prostration, has grown easier and his pulse stronger, lie has slept well during the last three hours. At 10 o'clock this morning General Sheridan was reported to be resting quietly, and Colonel Kellogg, who came to the door, said there bad been no ma terial change in his condition since the morning bulletin was issued. A bulletin issued at 1:20 says that since the early morning bulletin there has been no marked change in General Sheridan's condition except possibly a shade of improvement. He has rested quietly without pain and expresses him self as felling well. 8:30 It has just been ascertained that General Sheridan had another recurrence of heart trouble this afternoon, but, it is stated, he is resting easier now. Dr. N. o. Lincoln lias ueen caueu in the case, and is now in consultation with the oth er doctors. Washington, May 31. The 10:10 bul etin says Sheridan had another seyere at tack th is afternoon. He recovered very mperfectly, and his condition causes the greatest apprehension. At the request of Dr. O'Reilly, Dr. Pepper, professor of clinical medicine and provost of the uni versity of Pennsylvania, has been tele graphed for, and will arrive here about 4 o'clock tomorrow morning. At 11:30 uenerai onerician s condition was unim e 1 ro i . proved. Negroes Shot by Regulators. IIopkinsville, Ky., May 31. Several ni; hts since a party of regulators visited some box cars side-tracked near Coff Sta- ion, Caldwell county, in which a lot of hands in the employ of the Louisville & Nashville railroad were quartered, and emanded that three colored men, who were known to have repeatedly insulted and threatened ladies be surrendered to hem for punishment. In response all the men in the cars came forth, except the three wanted, who attempted to es- ciipe from the rear, when they were seen y the regulators, who opened fire upon lem. wounding them all and one of the umber seriously. They concluded to run, and succeeded in escaping into the woods near by and reached Ceiulean Springs next morning, when their wounds ere dressed. They were tracked most f this distance by the blood from their wounds. Would-be Cowboys. Elkiiokx, Neb., June 1. A Mr.Rob- erts, of Cass county, la., arrived here Wednesday night in search of his youth ful son who started west a short time ago o kill Indians. The father found his son in company with two more youthful ad, bad men and Indian slayers camped on the Elkborn river about two miles from here. The trio were mounted and equipped a la cowboy, white hats, leather ands, huge Mexican spurs and all. The ther of the Roberts boy took him under lis wing, as It were, and started for Jowa this morning. Constable Fry chayeroned the other two youths to Omaha, where the fond mothers await the arrival of their wayward sons with tear-stained eyes and aching hearts. Frightened by a "Ghost." PmxcETox, Wis., June 1. "Spooks1 are disturbing the peace of mind of the family of William Roberts, a farmer near this place. Things ijre taken from one place and left in another, but are not removed from the premises. The "ghost" goes through the pockets ol the members of the family and puts their contents in o ld njaces. Pvcket-books are also taken and concealed, The family called in the priest, and he told theni the devil was in the house. Yesterday they telegrapr.d for the Catholic priest at Ripon, asking tjrn to come oyer and " lay " the ghost H? will Lc ;;cre today. "--j Postal ChaMe$, Washington, June 1.

A sad ending to Decoration day occurred Wednesday night. Mr. Ed Hussong, one of the pro prietors of the Ntlsonian of this place and a memberof the brass bund, was on his way horns from the G. A. It. camp fire at about 11:30 p. in., and when near the depot was shot in the thigh from a revolver by some wne concealed in the grass. Jt is not tnou2lit that tue wound will prove fatal. Great indignation is aroused that such a thing could happen to such an upricht gentleman, who has no enemies so far as is known. The only supposition is that some tramps who were here yesterda -, and today have fled, intended robbery. Big Diamond Robbery- Wichita, Kan., June 1. One of the most success full burglaries ever commit ed in this city took place last night Ihe residence ef Airs. JiCe Jerome was entered and $10,000 worth of diamonds and other jewelry carried off. The in mates of the house were chloroformed. and it took the combined efforts of sev eral physicians to saye the life of one of Mrs. Jerome's children. There is no clce to the thieves Mrs. Jerome is the lady whs caused considerable sensation some weeks ago by marrying her present bus band, who was at that time head waiter in a hotel in this city. Both are Dead. holdrege, June l. Both ot the men wuo were snot here last night are now dead. Will Kurfes died at 1 1 last night and Winquest died at 0 this morning. Neith er of the men spoke after the shots were fired. Winquest' was buried today and leaves a wife and four small children. Kurfes was unmarried. His remains will be sent to his home in Illinois. Decoration was a success here. Captain Henry, department commander, dilivercd a splendid oration in tue city Hall. Judge Gaslin also delivered a pointed ad dress. The ladies set up a splendid sup per for members of the post. Fatally Kicked. Wahoo, Neb., June 1. Wednesday night about daric Herman, tue tweive- year-old son of Olof Nelson, living near Weston, was kicked in the forehead by a vicious horse. A large piece of the fron tal bone was knocked entirely loose and was hurried - in the brain. The boy is still aliye, but will not recover. War on Saloons. Wahoo. Neb.. June l.--The fight against saloon applicants by the prohibi tionists is continuing with unabated vig or. Monday night they defeated the ap plication of W. Kliment. There are sev- earl other applications to be passed upon vet. Remonstrances have been filed against all of them. " Chains 'for lasslan Prinonera. A point on which false Information has been spread relates to the manner prison ers wear their chains, which some, nice the author of "Called Back," would have ns believe Is tinder their trousers. But this is purely a hoax. I have in my pos session pairs of Russian handcuffs and leg chains, and a prison suit which I obtained in Siberia, where also I saw scores, not to say hundreds, of leg chains. The last consist each of two rings; to be riveted around the ankles, and attached by a chain thirty inches long, which, for con venience in walking. Is suspended in the middle by a strip of leather from the waist. Between the rings and the pris oner a skin there is worn hrsp a coarse woolen stocking- and over that a piece of thick linen cloth; then come the trousers, over which is bound round the shin a leather gaiter. How, then, could these chains be worn under the trousers ? The chains in my possession weigh five and a quarter pounds, the handcuffs two; but of these latter I should observe that in going across Siberia and through Its pris ons Isaw only one man manacled, and ho a desperado, who, to the crime for which he was judged, added that of murder in the prison. Henry Lansdell, D. D., in uarperq Aiaranne. Farielaa Lack of Comfort. Each day that I live here, certain things strike me more forcibly in this great city, and Inst now I am trying to solve the problem of why the French people havo not the many comforts about them that we Americans have in our so mtich ypunger country. To begin with, they are only beginning to have gag put Intp their houses from garret to cellar; tele phones in private homes are few and far between, and the messenger boy system is not even known. You can get a mes senger, it is true, but he is not the bright, agile American boy, but a man grown old Kh hard worlc I hen he is called by tho dignified name of eonu&issiqcaire, and ex pects to be made much of ' accordingly, and never half does his work. I have already spoken of the poor arrangements ior nres. fwUia we transrer some or our fire brigades to this fair land, tha good people would fairly marvel at such a won tLotul institution. Then, again, the general use of eles-s-tprs is only just mak ing headway,' and a hundred other things that have become second nature to us aio T-tt il v i i i. ?'?r7-Fi stdl to be heard of in the city of cities. t Parti Cor. "The Argonaut, -. ! THE LOUISIANA CREOLE. SOMETHING OF HIS HOME LIFE AND CHARACTERISTICS. The Ancient Creole Averse to Chance ami Innovations The Keiresentatl ve of no Kr That Is Rapidly Tasking Awny. The Mother. The af.eient Creole abhors change uti.l looLs with disfavor upon anything contrary to tho usual flow of events or customs for eign to those of liis forefathers. Even in architecture the spirit asserts itself. In tho American portion of New Orleans old land marks have rapidly disapieai"ed, and on their sites new and elegant houses with every modern appurtenance, rear their statoly columns; but down in the old French quarter there is a marked difference. The whole faubourg, with few exceptions, seems to have reached the point where evolution has ceased. The houses are singularly curious ami an gular: the owners look with peculiar pride upon these grim, solemn structures, and cling tiffectionately to them l.e..-vw ? f '.! associations and ii.il uuiices, iu their eyes con siderations of far greater importunce than tho decrees of modern fashion. In Imu decorations the distinction aiieai-8 with greater nicety. Where reparation or reten tion becomes necessary, while scrupulously particular ns to the quality of materials used in embellishing, old tapestry is rehabil itated, so us to correspond with tha ancient models, frescoings are renewed, with a view of preserving as far as iossiblo the original design. In consequence of tho growing social rela tions between American and French New Orleans, the young Creole, with enthusiastic appreciation of the beautiful and novel, fre quently suggests to paterfamilias tho pro priety of refuriushing or reconstructing tho home in keeptag with tho aesthetic spirit of his more progressive neighbors; but all such proposals are silenced by a peremptory re fusal; to tear down those time honored structures, or to allow those respected fur nishings to fall tinder the auctioneer's hammer would be acts of desecration upon which t he shades of departed ancestor would rise in judgment. The Creole gentleman of the old regime is a representative of an era that is rapidly passing away; a day in which honor was held a thing so dear, so sacred, that the least sar castic jest was construed into an insnltin? imputation, for which an immediate apology was demanded, or a confutation at the sword's edge; a day in which tho most distinguished courtesy and gallantry was accorded woman; when, as an instance thereof, a frentloman could not, without the greatest breach of politeness, ask of a lady permission to li.lit a cigar in her presence, much less raise his hat to her upon casually meeting in tho street, without first throwing away the smoking weed, even though it were a most expensive and fragrant Havana to which a" match had but a moment beforo been applied. . Ho is a true tyje of the men of tho old school, in which "nobleede oblige" was a gentleman's creed. Monsieur has been an expert duelist in Lis day, and his reminiscences of the Spanish aud Italian fencing schools are very enter taining. He has also been a patron of the rod and tho gun, and knows every turn and twist in the swamps and bayons around -ew Orleans, has had an intimate acquaintance with the celebrated chasseurs de ranceino lours, and relates witu jest his own experi ence in search of bocasiues and canards; ho will impress upon you his unerring skill as a marksman by telling how on ouo occasion, when several birds hovered in the dr. he raised his gun aud, bang! "ho had scoji but three and five came down." Age has not diminished his admiration for the fair sjx; he is as courtly a gallant and ready to bestow a stately compliment as in the brightest flush of youthful gayety. He is proud of hi name, of the positions of trust and honor he or members of his family have held i:i the com munity and his mission to foreign courts; but far and above all this U ho proud of his French and Spanish origin, and holds as his most precious possession a long, narrow bos which contains the decorations and incon testable proofs of his noble ancestry. The Creole mother! Jo ordinary woman is she, no vain seeker after fashionable no toriety, no loud advocate of woman's sup posed rights, no aggressive competitor in tho ranks and callings of men. . She is tho queen of home; that is her supreme sphere, her ideal realm,' where love is her throne and the at tendant ministers purity and truth. In tho rearing of her daughters the beauty of her life most asserts itself. From the momerj that the duties of matronhood clainj her at tention she leaves the gay world, of vuicU she has been such a brilliant ornament, raid in the quiet seclusion of her own home do votes herself um-eservediy to the training and education of her children, and when tho eldest daughter is of an age to enter society for a second time the mother aptear3 upon the social stage. Time has but matured her girlish charms into mellow glow of r.u'umu, and as the chaperon of her daughter, la belle Creole, with her eyes of gypsy bright ness, rich, clear complexion, and face spark ling with intelligence and vivacity, not onco does madams deem it prudent to dispense with her motherly suoer.vision until L-i- eatofuliy guarded jewel is given to another's keeping at the bridal altar. 1 hen the mother retires to her own fireside, not again to figure in the world until a similar occasion requires it. Marie L. Points in New Orleans Pica yune. Conveniences for Small ITonsrs. In small houses, where closets 'ro not abundant, many convenient receptacles for certih things, can be made to answer other purposes as well An ottoman, for instanco, tall enough to serve for a seat, may have a top provided with hinges, which on being raised discloses a partitioned box for hats and bonnets. A long window seat made from a pine box and covered with figured jute, makes an admirable place to lay away clean sheets and spreads; and one as long and only half as wide is a great convenience in a dining room for the table cloths and napkins in use for the day. Hanging shelves such as I are "a?d for books, when furnished with cur- J tains, may be appropriated to caster, tumblers and other appointments. Woman's Work.
