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

AN EDITOR SHOT.
Startling Incident of Decoration
Day Exercises at Nelson.
Nelson, Neb. 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

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.

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

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

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
