cited the curiosity of tha bystanders
The dead-alive man seemed to bo in ver.y
excellent health , but the fact that his
grave was to bo decorated on that vcr\
day was found to bu a hard although
dead. At least it Is so stated on the
records of that burial place , and I have
often had the melancholy pleasure ol
decorating my own grave. "
"That seems strange , " said a listener.
The veteran was as solemn ns the tomL

Now York Letter in the Albany

who , for some reason or other , prefers

Of course. Well , that was pnco the

THE PATHFINDER'S SCRAPES.
A. Man Who Did n Good Dcnl for- Ills
Country , but Very Jjlttlo for
Himself.
Hnrry Hill in Now York Mercury : I sec
by the papers tliat Fremont , who was last
week musU'rcd In Kit Carson Post ,
fJraiul Army of the Republic , at Washing
ton , 1) . ( J. , is about to follow the oxnin-
plus of Blaine , Grant and Logan , and is
tjoln' to publish a volumeof his remin
iscences ) .
Fremont was for many years a resi
dent of Now York city. He was at one
time the idol of Now York , find did for
America what Livingstone and Stanley
did for Africa discovered somothin'
opened up sompthin' led the way to
.soiucthiir. Ho is , therefore , with nil his
errors and mistakes , ono of those men
who have left the world bolter ana larger
than he found it , and so , though under a
cloud at present , and wrostlln' with com
parative obscurity , poverty and even
obloquy for yours past , John C. 1'rn-
mont is really ono ot the great men of
ot this country , though his career has
boon full of sploy lights and cabals and
slanders.
It has boon his luck to have madn the
warmest kind of friends and the worst
sort of enemies and to have stirred up
contention in his clVorls after distinction.
From his start in public lite he was
"sat down on" by a certain inlluontial
army clique beeauso he did not graduate
at \ \ eat Point. New Yorkers may not
believe it , but the fact is that West 'Point
la a close corporation. Jt is hard to get
into it , nnd harder yet for any army man
who keeps out of it. The civil service
humbug ain't a circumstance to the West
Point humbug , which makes it impor.xtivo
for every would-be-snceessful army
ollicer to graduate at West Point , which
holds Unit no ono can be properly edu
cated as a soldier unless he has studied
at West l'oltt. There was always a
regTufxV llnng'r ot Wosl lyln ? ( grailustoS
which have inauu it a point to taboo all
other graduates from all other places , ,
and a largo portion of Hie opposition
which Fremont met m his earlier career
was duo wholly to this West Point clique.
Among the notorious scandals which
wore stirred up in Fremont's time , nnd
reminiscences of which will bo suggested
by his forth'-omin1 book , was that over
the famous Maripqsa claim. Everybody
used to bo as familiar with tliis as with
the star route scahdal lately.
Fremont didn't ' discover California for
nothing. He bought n traot in the land
he discovered and liid it aside for himself
Ho purchased the Mariposa grant fora
song , and through it became one of the
richest men in America. People howled
at this and said he was mercenary , as if
ho wasn't entitled to make a good thing
ont of his own pluck and enterprise. Tins
puts me in mind of a story of a clergy
man told me once , when somebody said
something about ministers praying for
pay.
pay.Tho storv was that in a country parish
one time the dominie wont around from
house to house dunning his congregation
to pay up his salary. Thereupon , some
old ourmiuiKOon thinking to poke a little
fun at the minister , said : "Why , I
thought you prayed to save souls. "
"Souls , " exolalmed the dominie , ' ! can't
live on souls ; nnd if I could it would take
a hundred like yours to make a square
meal. " All of which simply means that
the laborer , the preacher and the ex
plorer are -worthy of their pay.
Fremont , like a sensible fellow , who
knew the world , didn't trust to posterity
for his compensation , nor did ho repose
entire confidence in n"grateful country , "
he paid himself as ho went along.
Afterwards .ho went into speculations
in railroads anil "unloaded" a good deal
of his stock in France. The French gov
ernment looked upon it as a fraudulent
operation and tried to arrest Fremont.
Failing in that , the French caught hold
of one of liis relatives engaged with him
in this railroad scheme , and sent him. to
the galleys.
Altogether , Fremont has boon more or
less in hot water all his life , although , as
far as I have boon able to see , he never
did a really dishonorable thing in Ids
life. But envy loves a shining mark , and
it was always John C. Fremont's luck to
bo envied and bothered.
The row between Fremont , Kearney
and Commodore Stockton was ono of the
"bothers" thatsut the country by the cars
nnd created a big sensation. Stockton
and Kearney got into a tight over prece
dence , aud Fremont , who was then gov
ernor of California , had to decide be
tween the two whioh he would recognize.
He tried to dpdco the issue ns long as ho
could , but finally recognized Stockton.
This made Kearney wild , and as soon as
ho got a chance he had Ficmont arrested
uuucr various charges , trying to involve
"tho Pathlindor , " as Fremont was then
known all over the country , in disgrace.
Ho nearly succeeded , too , for awhile , but in
the long run Fremont wriggled out of
thin just as ho did out of all his other
scrapes , and came out ahead.
Fremont was arrested at another time
in England , on some money charge , and
that annoyed him greatly , lint ho came
out ot this , too , honorably , only after a
deal of trouble.
All sorts of charges were brought
against Fremont when he ran for and
failed to reach the presidency of the
United States , ho being the first presiden
tial candidate for the republican party.
For the fli-bt time in the history of Amer
ican politics it was charged as against
him that the presidential eandidato was
n Koman Catholic , which ho wasn't , the
only foundation for the charge being that
when Fremont ran oil' with Miss Jessie
Itonton the runaway couple were married
by a Ciitholiu priest , wiio happened to bo
handy.
For a man of his really high character
and achievement * Fremont got into more
scrapes llian any other public man of his
time , nnd got leas rewards out of his
country.
ills early llfo nnd patronage were full
of the elements of romance. Ho was ,
prior to his elopement with aMIss Uonton ,
the houd of sovenil startling loyo affairs ,
und he oamo of n father who was as gal
lant in love as in war , The marriage
between Ida father and mother had boon.
llko his own , n "runaway" match. And
for a while both his parents bad boon on
the fltago. This is not generally known ,
but it is a fact. His father , too , adopted
the stage as a profession , and would have
done wollCnt it had ho lived. Fremont
himself had been intended for a clergy
man , but ho didn't oarry out his design ,
Taken as a whole Fremont was a man
of positive character , who did more for
his country and loss for himself thaumost
of our public men.
Ijato Legal
A 'Question of Punctuations Two
Knights of Labor wove tried and con
victed for "killinc" nn engine durinc the
southwestern strike , the conviction being
had under article 093 of the poiml code
of Texas , which imposes a penalty for
willfully and mischievously injuring or
destroying "any growing fruit , porn ,
grain , or other agricultural product or
property real or personal. " The conviction -
viction was sot aside , on appeal , on the
ground that the article of the code in
question was restricted in its operation to
injuries done to agricultural products or
property. Jt Is said that in the codifica
tion of the criminal statutes n comma
was inserted ( \Hertho words "agricultural
products , " bulJtlint this was omitted by u
printer's error. Tub general opinion xvna
that under th'6 statute" as it was under *
stood to stand m the original draft of the
code , other than 'agricultural ' property
was protected. The omission of the
comma had the eflcct , however , of limit
ing the word "nroportv" by the adjective
"agricultural , " nnd ilii ? interpretation
was applied by tli6 court , winch followed
the printed copy of the statute. ( Murray

JOHN I. BLAIR.
A. Poii Picture of the Octogcnnrinn
Chicago Mail : A sturdy , leonine looli
ing old gentleman stood in the Grand PC
cilio barber shop the other day in hi ;
shirt sloovc * . He was struggling to go
his collar on. As ho was big aud burlj
with a pair of big arms aud a neck like i
bull , he got red in the face. Thin mci
often pass the swearing point in thli
process on warm days. As this wns on
of the very hot days , and as this old gen
tleman was not thin , it was really will
good intentions that one of the dnrki
"brushors" rushed up and immediatelj
grappled the collar.
The leoniiid old gentleman turned
and. witii a very few out very strong expletives
pletivos , gave the colored "brush" to understand
dorstand that ho could put on his owi
collar , and expected to bo able to put i
on for a great many years to como. Thi
darky retreated abashed , while the other ;
giggled.
"That's John I. Blair , of Dlairtown , '
said a sententious patient in ono of tin
chairs ; "built the Blair system ; sold 'on
to the Northwestern road for § 10,000,000
83 years old ; only looks 50 ; will cut ui
when ho dies into $00,000,000. , "
# tt
John I. Blair is famous now as a rail
roador. Fifty years ago ho was famous
for black-strap molasses and plug
tobacco. The Blair molasses was put m
in a queer kind of package , and sold al.
over the cast. It was a staple. The
Jerfeoy store-keeper had to keep it. Price
ilidn't cut any hguro. Smith's molasses
might bo selling at 3 cents , and Jones' al
5 cents. That didn't make any differ
once. Blair's had a price of its own , and
kept it. It was so pure und so sweol thai
everybody that liked good stud * wanted it ,
It was the same way with the plug. Old
man Blair long ago gave up vending
molasses and plug. Iwontv or thirty
/oars ago ho and Moses Taylor and
VVillmni E. Dodjro got speculating to <
Bother in Pennsylvania coal lands , j
suppose that If lair sold his molasses ovei
ihoro , and Dodge undoubtedly got over
.hero with his iron tradn. Even while
Blair was still famous only for hie
molasses ho was ono of the big
triumvirate in the coal and iron lioldu ,
Just when ho ceased to bo a molasses
* nd plug tobacco man , and began to be
i railrouderJohn I. couldn't himself toll.
The two overlapped each other , Now
ivhon Blair's holdings of Laokawauna
ire allied with the holdings of the estates
jf his two deceased partners , Dodge and
Taylor , there is very little stock loft ,
This is why Deacon S V. White can
iminp the stock up to 140 whenever lie
chooses to. The two estates , and old
John I. Blair made u contract with the
"deacon" to allow him to handle their
lioldmgs. They all trade together. The
loacon , of course , makes a divvy with
.hem.

John I. Blair is a pretty close man in
money matters. The darkies about the
jnuul Pacilio all know this. When
50011 darts at him , dusts him from head
o foot , and then draws back with a smile ,
nut a Mississippi smile , awaiting his ro-
ivard , John 1 , says , "I am indebted to
foil , sir ; I nm Indebted , " This is do-
ivored with great unction nnd with a
courtliness worthy of Chosterlield , but
muccompanied by oven a niokoi , The
) ld gentleman keeps the nickels at the
rery bottom of his ample breeches pocket ,
uit is prodicul with his thanks. Banker

ROBBING THE CROW INDIANS
Alleged Unlawful Occupation of the
lloscrtnUon uy 1'avorcd
Cattlemen.
The current number of Forest am
Stream , New York , contains the follow
ing : The Crow Indian reservation in
eludes nbont 4,500,000 acres of land in
western Montana south of the Yellow
stone river. Kxci'iH along the river bottoms
toms it contains little arable land , am
nowhere ean farming bo carried on with
out irrigation. But the broad prairies ,
rolling toothllis and mountain parks nro
luxuriant with nutritious grass , and the
reservations advantages ns n stock
country are unsurpassed. This reserva
tion is nil that is left to the Crows of the
broad lands that once were theirs. Hero
they live , subsisting on what the govern
ment issues them , tor few of them have
made any progress in industrial pur
suits and there is no game loft. A few of
the ( 'rows have cows which were issued
to them by the government , nnd they
have a good many ponies , but they have
ns yotdonu hardly anything toward learn
ing liow lo lill the ground.
Over lite length and breadth of the res
ervation tlie calllemen's herds feed and
fatten on the acres which belong to the
Indians. Thn few cows belonging to the
littler range with the thousands owned
by the whites , and are absorbed by thorn.
It is the old story of the poor innu's ono
own lamb which ids rich neighboicovctcd. |
The trespassing of these cattle on the
rosenntton Is expressly forbidden by the
regulations ot the Indian department ,
but under sanction of permits'Issued by
Agent Williamson to a number of linns ,
the practice still continues. Having ac
quired this foothold , the cattlemen pro
pose to nrnko still more sure of this great
pasture land. They wish to sccuru it be
yond peradventure and for all timo.
They desire to fasten thflr grip upon
these lands so llnnly that it can never bo
loosened. This is their plan : They have
arranged with the present agent to give
Ihcm permits fo throw their cattle on the
reserve. Having secured these permits
from the ngeut , they have turned in the
stock in largo numbers ami are now tak
ing possession of the boat locations
The permits which they have obtained
cover the best agricultural and gra/.iug
lands on the reserve , and on those lands
the cattlemen nro building permanent
improvements , wlijcji willcnnblo thorn to
hcldlhoTnmrshetiU ! tile r&sorVMlon over
bo thrown open to the public nnd to bluir
oil' actual settlers.
Among the tirms nnd individuals who
are alleged to have succeeded in getting
permits to throw cattle on the reserve are
the following : Briggs & Kills , renewal
of permit lo graze cattle on the reserva
tion , at CO emits per head ; Hoskins & Mo-
Girl , permit lo graze bulls on the reserva
tion when not needed with the cows that
graze north of the Yellowstone ; Ash ,
permit to graze u small baud of cattle on
the reservation.
It is behoved there is no law for this per
mit system which is being carried out by
Ascent Williamson , and that any cattleman -
man has ns much right to turn his cattle
on the reservation as those who have
these permits.
It is stated by those who are perfectly
familiar with the rcsorvntion that Nelson
Storey of Uozcman , Is building a perma
nent ranch on the reservation , near Pryor
mountains , and that he has n permit to
graze his cntllo on the reserve. Whether
no has such n permit , or not , his cattle are
there by thousands. So also are these
belonging to I. 1C. Dillworth , making
with those of Storey perhaps twenty
thousand in all. Last winter and spring
they dotted the whole country between
Pryor river and the western boundary of
the reserve. Storey had then n liny ranch
and corrals on Clark's fork. Several of
the cattlemen have boasted that thuylnivo
the reservation securely in their power.
It is not only the cattlemen who are
encroaching on the reservation , for
Thomas Barry , a sheep man of Rook
crook , stated last spring that ho had a
permit to graze his bund of 0,000 head
on the reservation up to Juno.
On the south , a cattleman of Wyom
ing , H. C. Lowell , whoso stock ranges on
Sago creek nnd Stinking Water , takes
advantage of his proximity to the reser
vation to graze his cattle there , too. As
the case stands at present , the cattlemen
seem in a fair way to gain absolute con
trol of the reservation. This control will
not benefit the Indiaus.who are at present
unaware of this state of things and would
strenuously object were they not do-
celved In tno matter , and when the time
comes for throwing open the reservation
the desirable locations will bo found to
bo all occupied by the cattlemen , who
will find some moans of holding on to
them. The people nnd press of the
Yellowstone valley are very silent on
this matter , for the crcat cattle firms
interested have too much inlluonco to bo
openly resisted.
The greater portion of the reservation is
now under the control of the cattlemen.
The Crows receive little or nothing in
return , certainly not enough to pay thorn
for the risit to their own small bands of
cows und horses which are ccrlain to bo
absorbed by the herds of the wbito men ,
from the Indians without their consent
and handed over to the control of the
rich cattle firms , who. if they once fairly
bnnomo established in it , will with difll-
culty bo removed.
A searching investigation of this whole
mutter ought to be instituted by the in
terior department If the agent has any
authority for issuing thcso permits it
ought to be known. If he has no author
ity the cattle ought to bo at once re
moved , and the agent too.
