1I then cross'd to tlie throne occupied by
Cardinal Gibbons , hinded him another parn
brief , which was read aloud by Father Mag-
nlen. It Is as follows :
Our lleloved Son , Health and Apes
tollo Benediction : Following In the footsteps
of our predecessors , the Human pontiffs , we
have always been desirous that the senate
of cardinal * should abound with men whose
religion and vlrtuo nnd brl'.llant gifts o
tnlrul should correspond with the grea
splnndor anil dignity of that college. We
haVe , therefore , thought well to create a
cardinal of the holv Homnn church our

archbishop of Lcpanto nnd delegate of the
npoatollc sco In the Hepubllc of the Unite. '
States of America , whoso piety , devotloi
to the Homan FCC , zeal nnd Industry In cul
tlvnllng the Held of the Lord have been s <
plainly manifest to us that we have dcemec
him worthy of so great an honor.

CONFEimED THB BEUKETTA.
The reading of the papal briefs having been
finished , Mgr. Sbarretl advanced to a point
In front of Cardinal Gibbons' throne and do-
llvercd an address In Litln , of which the fol
lowing Is a translation :
The honorable olllco which the supreme
pontiff , Joe XIII , has deigned to confer
upon me , Is most grateful and acceptable
to me. because It Is a testimonial of pontlll-
cal consideration , because by mo arc being
carried the Insignia of ? o exalted a dljrnltj
to a man to whom T have ever been bound
by tics of the greatest veneration nnd re-
Epcct , nnd because It Is , as It were , the sea
of supreme authority upon all that has been
accomplished.
The speaker then paid a high tribute to
the character of Satolll and reviewed the
work accomplished by him slnco lilr. coming
to this poultry. In conclusion ho said :
The .honor which Is bestowed upon the
most eminent Cardinal Satolll redounds
uponw the 'universal church , and especially
upon thtar church In 'America. It proves thai
the Catholic church , under that equity of
laws wjth which this nation Is b'.esscd. can
freely nspert Its activity .and bear rich fruit.
Deservedly the supreme pontiff highly es
teems and dearly loves their youncr ant
valiant American people. Deservedly ho
has given to him this signal honor of today ,
for It Is most rare , not to say unique , thai
nr. apostolic delegate should be raised to
the dignity nnd decorated with the Insignia
of cardinal in that place on which ha has
fulfilled his mission. Uut It Is given to us
to see conferred upon him who has won for
himself the peed will of all the Insignia of
that supreme dignity In this venerab'.e met
ropolitan church , which Is , as It were , the
mother of all the other churches In the
United States , and In the midst of this
splendid gathering of bishops , priests and
pccple.
t beg your eminence to receive these In
signia ns a pledge of the high esteem nnd
affection of Leo XIII toward the American
church nnd people , nnd us a well deserved
reward to him who has used with such
marked success nil his zeal for Increasing
the honor and extent of the holy Catho'.lc
cluirch In America.
When ho had finished speaking. Cardinal
Gibbons responded briefly In Latin , and then ,
turning toward the throne occupied by
Satolll , spoke In English , saying :
CARDINAL oinnoNS1 ADDRESS.
"Your Eminence : I regard It as a great
honor and privilege' to bo chosen by the holy
father to act , as his delegate and representa

A * lit
The vast audience became all attention as It
near/Ed the mcst Interesting point In all the
ceremony , that of actually conferring the
berrotta. Cardinal Ribbons descended from
his throne and advanced to the front of the
nltar. Bhlnd him cams his attendant. Father
Magnlon , bearing the berretta. As Cardinal
Gibbons reached the allar and turned to face
the audience , Satolll rose , and escorted by
Sacrlpantl and Chamberlains Kelley and
Brlstaed , walked with a brisk step toward
Cardinal Gibbons. Upon reaching the prelate
ho knelt and bowed his head. Cardinal Gib
bens look the herrctta from the silver salver
on which It rested , and , slowly unfolding It ,
iicm u nigii up so mat the audience could
see It. Then , stooping , and with what seemed
to bo a softly murmured prayer , he placed It
upon the head of the new cardinal. Cardinal
Satolll nros ? and , for the first time In Its
history , there were two cardinals upon Amer
ican soil. Advancing to the front of the altar
Cardinal Satolll then delivered the following
address :
SATOLLPS COMPLIMENTS.
. "Your Eminence : From the day on which
I received the first notification of the In
tention of his holiness to promote 1113 to
the csrdlnnlatp and of his determination
that the Insignia of that sublime dlgn'ty
should bo conferred upon me by your nnl-
ncnco's hande , I rejoiced that It was through
you that I was to receive this token of
pontifical fuvor and honor. . From the time
of my coming to thlu country I have re
ceived frctu your eminence nothing but the
greatest Ulmluo-s and consideration , and fils
solemn act of today U but a fitting crown
to those r lattons which have n > happily ex-
Uted between us , U was you who recslvd
me at my coming and who Imnicd'ately he
came my friend and most zealoun protector
It wa with the aid of your wlsa c-.imsels
and comforting encouragements an1 with the
continued an-lstanre of all the prelatrs of
this great American hierarchy that my la-
bora progremoil and were crowned with
success. It lo certainly a wmreo of great
nnd sine re satisfaction to mo that tills
function should l > ? held hers. In America.
where I received so many attestations of god
will and affection , In ( ho mliht nf the people
ple of this great nnd glorious nation , where
truth ami lllmty are joined wit1) tint spirit
of Christian love which Is their most potent
rafeguard and the ploige of ptrpsttul peace
and tranquillity.
PRESENT AT OTHER GATHERINGS.
"This Js the third occasion on which U
liis been an Inner and a pleasure to m ?
to bo pre nt In this venerable cathedral ,
uurrounded by the prelates , the cleisy nnd
tue most dlnlnijulatied people of tlif conn
try , ami to unit ? with them In celebrating
A festival ot Joy.
"Tho first occasion wai the day on which
wag commemorate ! the flret century of Iho
exlstenc * of the Am rlcin hierarchy. Thca
was tnls church filled with a gathering simi
lar to that which hag now come together ,
a gathering united to thank God thnt nich
Joy , not unmixed with wonder snd nmaitv
ment at the remarkable growth and pro-
grfi of the Catholic church In on ? century
under this republic ,
"The second was the day on which wo nil
convened hero ngaln to do honor to your
eminence , America's cardinal archbUlup
on the. occasion of your silver cplscopa
Jubilee. Then did the whole country rejoice
that God hnd preserved your eminence fo :
so long n time to guldo by your wisdom nnt
aid , by your counsel t'no growth tf the Amer
ican church and beg 1'iat same Divine Provl
donee to spare you for still tnnny > ears for
the good of the church and ot the nation.
"I hops and pray this will mark the be
ginning of an era. still moro brilliant nm
still moro prosperous for the church and for
the country. May the success which has at
tended I'ic. development nnd growth of this
great nation go on Increasing ; may Its power
and Importance grow greater and make them
stives more and moro felt throughout Iho
world for the gcod of humanity. "
S13KMON OF THE DAY.
Utran finishing his nddrecs Cardinal Satolll
who up to this tltno had worn th > robes o
an nrchbts'aop , retired to the Inner sanctuary
and In a few mlnutoi roturnoJ clad In the gor
geous npparcl of a cardinal. Ho was seen
In these but a faw moments , however , ns ho
was almost Immediately robed Inthe whlto
and gold vostmcots of the mass , which he waste
to celebrate. Assisted by his priests nnd dea
cons , he proceeded with this amid the breath
less attention of the vast nudlenc ? . Wti'c-n
the gcspeJ was reached n movable pulpit wni
rus'ned to the center ct the auditorium am
Archbishop Kaln of St. Louis ascended It an <
delivered the ccrmon of the day , taking ns his
text Timothy I. 17 : "Let the priests , that
rule well , be esteemed worthy of double
honor : especially they who labor In the won
nnd doctrine. "
"Eminences , Most Rjverend , Right Rev
crontl , and Reverend Fathers , and Dear
litnthren : Thin venerable cathedral the
mother church of America has been the
scene of many lni | > ot < lnK celebrations. HosU
of mltcred prelates "anil loglonu of surpllcct
priests have again and ngaln moved In eolemi
procession through Us hallowed aisles am
beneath tills majestic dome. In the gram
ceremonial of our holy 'church tlicrIs
scarcely to bo found' a sacred rlto which has
not been hero performed amid Iho ualemn
splendor that befits the service ot the all-
gKat and all-holy God.
"Only once before In Its long and event
ful hltitory has It witnessed the Impressive
ceremony of this day. Nine years ago the
second American cardinal , your own re
vered nnd beloved archbishop , hero re
ceived the Insignia of his n-cw and cxaltci
dignity. That was , Indeed , a glorious day
for the church. In America , and unceasing
liavo been tha benedictions Invoked upon
the Illustrious pen tiff , Leo XIII. , for that
gracious recognition of America's claim to
representation In the august senate of the
church universal. Never , perhaps , haa the
Christian world glvn so spontaneous , so
unanimous an Indorsement to any net of
pontifical authority ns It has given to the
elevation of the Metropolitan of lialtlmoro
to the Sacred College of Cardinals.
"Once moro has the ooverelgn pontiff rc-
isolved to honon the ycoithful church ol
America , and today this cathedral wlt-
cesse-.i for the nccond time the solemn
Investiture of a prlnco of the church will
the sacred purple that betokens his car-
dlnalltlnl rank. I hope to &how you tha
In his elcvntlon from the high rank o
dotegnto ot the 'holy sco to the church In
our .great country to the higher rank of a
member of the Sacred College ol Cardinals
wo have a practical Illustration of the
scripture principle laid down by St. Paul In
the words I have 'Just quoted.
"We Americans are Justly proud of our
republican form of government. We are con
vinced that It Is the most perfect system that
hns ever bsen devised for the preservation
and development of the Inalienable rights ol
man life , liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness. Hence , It Is with no small degree of
pride that wo recognize the striking resem
blance between the .cqnstltutlon of the church
innd. our republican Institutions. " T
, Archblihop Kali ) said that the ofllcs ot
chief ruler In .tho United States , ag In the
Roman Catholic church , Is elective , yet not
by popular suffrage , but by an electoral col
lege In the ono ca3 and by the College of
Cardinals In the other. He said also that
the College of Cardinals Is In th ? church
what the Miinto Is In the United States. He
stated also that In tlio church , as In the
United States , the highest offices are within
reach of all her sons , and the rub holds good
that promotion goes by lltncii nnd prefer
ment.
The speaker next pild n high tribute to
Cardinal Sntolll , saying : "The holy father ,
who has watched the career of his eminence
from boyhood's days , has not only admired
him for his Intellectual gifts , but has loved
'him , because In him he has seen a model of
solid sacerdotal virtue. Are net these good
grounds for the sincere affection which the
holy father cherishes for him ? Now these
and the successful discharge of his mission
in America are , ns I am well aware , ths
reasons which have Induced our holy father
to confer upon him the high honors Into
which ho Is today , amidst this glorious
pageant , Inducted. "
WON HIS OWN DISTINCTION.
Archbishop Kaln further said tlmt Car-
dim ! Satolli's promotion was not only a
recognition of his learning , but of the use
ho had made of It , a fact which had not
escaped the notice of the pope who has had
few equals and no superiors as a pontiff of
vast and varied erudition and a patron of
letters.
"It Is no secret , " continued the arch
bishop , "that , at the outset the first apos-
tollo delegate to our country had to en
counter and overcome omo most perplex
ing difficulties. Suddenly transferred from
lila study and lecture room nnd clothed
with the judicial ermine , called on without
previous experience to pass on Intricate cases
> t ecclesiastical jurisprudence , required to
inaugurate an entirely new tribunal , with
no precedents to guldo him , nmctng a people
with whooe language , nnd customs nnd tradi
tions he was unacquainted , nnd to exercise
: ho plenipotentiary powers of an ambassador
'rom the holy see to the moat flourishing
and progressive church on the face of the
globe , he had entrusted to him n mission
lemandlng ability ot the highest order. The
difficulties nf his position were cinaugh to dls-
icarten a less courageous ! ul. But , far from
being discouraged , ho seemed to draw In
spiration and courngo from the very mag-
iltuclo of the task which had been assigned
Urn. Ilravely he set to work to discharge
the onerous nnd perplexing duties of his
olllca and to master the dlfllcultles which
oomcd up so ominous before him. The
eyes of the- nation were upon him , and his
every act was chronicled from ocean to
occain. Catholics and non-Catholics watched
with lll-dlsgulsed feelings of misgivings his
every movement , ready , the former as well
aa the latter , to criticise and condemn any
L > c mlnB misstep. Amy serious mistake
committed by the personal representative of
hn holy see might have resulted In
dlaastrous consequences to the church
M the United Stales. No one was
nero consclcuo of the delicate
position In which lie had been placed than
lie apostolic delegate hlnifelf , nnd ns ons
could hnvo pasjed through the trying cr-
deal with such wonderful prudence and
lonsiiinmate tuccgss. The church of Amer-
en owes a debt of lasting gratitude to the
new cardinal and to Leo XIII for Intrusting
to ono so well qualified the establishment
of the apostolic delegation In tli-t-a statoj.
The beneficent Influence of the delegation Is
already felt mid reoEiilzed. and this happy
nfluonco will lie continued and be multl-
> lled If thn Erjccessor of Mgr , Satolll In-
lorito hla admirable tact In the aJmlnlstia-
Ion of the olllce. Whilst wo rejoice In the
elevation to the csrJInabte of on so every
way deserving of that exalted dignity , wo
deeply regret his productive dcpartura from
r midst. Not only his Iwi justly endeared
ilmself to the Cat holies of the country nt
he wcrthy representative of our holy father ,
but he lina also won tli ? respect and admiration
rationot nr non-CatliolIc brethren by his
proncuncaa love of eur American Instltu-
Ions and his Interest In the continued wel-
are of thla grcut republic. "
In conclusion he said : "There cannot but
b ? name element cf aelMntereit In our ten
dering to him our congratulations on his
elevation to the cardlnaUte. nnd In the heart-
tit vrli)1 ! ami prayer that God may bless
him nlth many years of llfo for the good
of the church at largo , and more cspclally
jr tha gun ! ot the church In the United
State ; ) , to which he has njoyed the Olstln-
U'u sited hotiur of Icing the lint delegate
apostMlc an Scnor wlilch we Americans ,
with pardonable pr'ds In the Importance
! ' of our country Among Christian natlcnc ,
are willing to bellev ? may , In the case of
hlfl suoressTs , as'In his cmo.-pravo a step
ping stone to still higher hmora. "
I1ENEOICTJON ON ALL.
At the cloro of-tlie.mnbs Cardinal .Glbbans
announced that the holy father had csblwl
his congratulations and'that ho had authorized
the speaker to pronounce' the apostolic benediction -
| diction upon all present. At his roquest. Dr.
! Honker read llio cablegram which" Cardinal
Gibbons said he wished particularly to say
was spcntancaug and net evoked by any sug
gestions from this side of the Atlantic , It
Is aa follows :
"To HI * Eminence , Cardinal Gibbons , Arch-
lUhcpoJ Hiltlm r. : 'The tfxtrJ&rd'rfary ip'en.
ilor accompaijylng the .conferring of the bor
retta upon CarJInal Satolll gratifies t'ne h1)
father beyond measure , and he asks your bml-
ncnco to express his satisfaction. Further
more , ns a token of his deep appreciation he
empowers your emlnenco to give to nil pres
ent nt the ceremony the apostolic benedic
tion. "
The cardinal proncuncsd the benediction
nnd the ceremony was uded.
The Baltimore cathedral , In which today's
ceremony lock place , Is ono ot tha most In
teresting of nil Iho historical church build
ings In America , It lies In ont > of tfie mosi
fashionable quarters ot the city , upon an
eminence tint commands a good view from
every quarter. The main entrance la on
Cathedral street , upon which sldo the church
with a smaller sanctuary , takes up nboul
two-thirds of the entire block from Cathedral
street to Charles , and the building Is In the
form of a cross with the arms extending par
allel with CaL'iicdral street. In the roar of
the church building and facing Charles
street , Is the cardinal's palace , nn unpreten
tious but spacious building , built of the same
material of which the cathedral la com
posed.
The corner stone of the cathedral was
laid July 7 , 1800 , at which ttmo Archbishop
Carroll was In charge of the lialtlmoro die
cese. The lot upon which It stands was
cold to the church by Colonel Howard nt so
low a figure as to practically amount to a
donation , and work was bc > gun Immediately
after ttio laying bf the corner stone. It con
tinued slowly and with but few Interruptions
until 1812 , when It was stopped by the wnr
with England and lack of funds. In 1815
work was resumed , and the edifice was prac
tically completed In 1821.
PURCHASE OF PEWS.
Six months before Its dedication , the pews
In the building were sold at auction and
realized over $40,000 , and on May 31 of
ths year mentioned It was dedicated with
great ceremony by Archbishop Mareclial.
A burden of debt hung over It , however ,
which was not removed until May 25 , 1876 ,
when It was consecrated by Cardinal Gib
linns , then an archbishop. The- total coat
of the building was $225,000. The dimen
sions ot Hi ? building are : Length , Including
porches , 190 feet width , 127 feet to top of
dome. Ths material used In Its construction
Is porphyrlto granite , the Immense blocks
of which were hauled from the quarries at
Elllcott City , on wagons drawn by ox n.
A circular uomc surmounts ino uiuiuing , in
which hangs ono of the largest , .and most
resonant bells In America , which was bought
In Francs by Archbishop Whltfleld. Und'r
Its tiled floors rest the remains of Arch-
blsl.ops Carroll. Ecclcston , Whltfleld , Ken-
drlckand Spaldlng , all of whom prcsld d
over the diocese. Within Its walla have
been held two plenary councils.
After this day It will for a time at least
enjoy the distinction of bslng the only
church In America In which two prelafs
have been raised to the dignity of cardinals.
At Its ancient altar the1 first Catholic priest
over ordained In America took his vows , nnd
the first bishop over elevnUd to the dignity
on this sldo of the Atlantic put on his
episcopal Insignia upon the very spot where
Satolll was cnrwntd prince of the church
of Rome.
The. decorations within the church today
were of a simple character , save at the
altar , fho beauty of the paintings with which
the walls are adorned rendering other em
bellishments unnecessary. Upon the altar ,
however , tjio Indies of the congregation had
spent their best efforts , and the result was
a floral effect beautiful beyond , compare.
Great festoons of evergreen drooled grace
fully from the , caps , of the Immense columns
at 'tho' ' Year of the altar and twined around
these columns to' the flbor. Equally graceful
loops of crowfoot and laurel swung from the
arches over each of the smaller altars at the
side. The tabernacle was fairly hlddjn be
neath a bower of cardinal roses , symbolic ,
not only of the robes of the. celebrant , but
also of the joy ot the occasion. Grouped
everywhere about the altar were ferns and
scarlet geraniums , palms and pink hy
drangeas , smllax nqd verbenas , rubber plants
and azaleas , and such a wealth of other
beautiful blooms and blossoms as must have
exhausted all the capacious hot houses for
miles around.
ALTAR BURIED IN FLOWERS.
The altar Itself was literally overrun with
strands cf smllax , and from a hundred Inter
stices among the green , scarlet , pink and
cardinal bower gleamed scores of waxen
tapers , twinkling like stars | n the firmament
and producing an effect both beautiful and
Impressive. Upon either side of the great
auditorium two thrones had been erected ,
ono for the old , the other for the new car
dinal. Both were hung with tlie < rich colors
of the princes of the church and both were
profusely adorned with smllax , laurel nnd
evergreen- , draped around the. sides and
looped back from the front.
STAIIOTHICA'S IX.IUHIIOS FATAIj.
Dies from tinICIlVrl of ( lie Illow
( ilvi'ii by IlerinniiNcii.
At half-past 1 this morning John
Starotska , who was felled by a blow from
James M. Hcrmansen In a saloon at Seventh
and Lcnvenworth streets last Monday mornIng -
Ing , died at St. Joseph's hospital.
The police department has necii busy
gathering evidence concerning the nature
of the assault from those who were In the
saloon at the time. It Is asserted by four
witnesses that Starotska did not draw a
revolver , as Is maintained , by Hermnnsen ,
August Grlob , the saloon keeper In whoso
placa the assault occurred , tnys positively
that Hcrmansen placed ino revolver back of
the bar. Hermansen mys he seized a
revolver from the hands of Starotska , as the
latter was about to fire on him , and later
placd the revolver behind the bar. It looks
[ is though Hermansen Is the only ono who
Is sure that Starotska had a revolver , or that
ho attempted to use one.
The other Incidents as told by Hermansen
In his statements to the police and to The
Dee representative have bsen confirmed on
invest ! cation.

Something over half ot the ohlces In the
building were affected by the election o
last fall. This , however , does not mean
that half of 'tho employes will be changed
On the contrary , there will bo comparatively
leas change th'an ever before after an elec

people In their wtaJom to succeed himself
while of the hew ones some have cxpressot
an Intention pf retaining a considerable num
her of the employes In the ofQccs to whlcl
they succc-ed. >
The most considerable chini ; ! s In the
personnel of the bench of the district. Only
two , of Hit old' Judges , Scott and Keyior
will longer warm the chairs they have hat
during the past four years , and even they
will not bs known In their old rooms , im
they will preside over the equity dockets In
The Bee building. The other five , Ambrosa
Hopswcll , Duffle , Ferguson and Blair , wll
become again private citizens , In all proba
bility to resume law practice after n short
rest. They will bo succeeded by Judges
Baker , Slabaugh , Dickinson , Powell and Faw-
cctt , the first taking the criminal bench and
the others the jury rooms.
The most marked change will be found In
the office of the clerk of the district court ,
where Frank E. Moorcs has sat for the pasl
eight years. Frank ( not once out of 100
times Is ho called anything else , despite his
whlto hairs ) 'has been looked upon as a fix
ture In the court house and visitors to the
building Invariably call upon him whether
thov havn business In his ofllco or nnt. Ills
absence will be , marked as much as that ol
any ono else.
Next to. himself Frank Moorea' big bunch
of clerks will bo missed. While some few out
ot the twenty or more which are In the
olllce at the present time may bo retained ,
the majority , expect to bo dismissed , at lensl
shortly after the Incoming of Albyn Frank.
MAY'DANCE OVER IT.
Incidentally It may be mentioned that
th ? girls and ojther employes of the office
are talklng'about having a dance on Wednea
day night In ' the ' big criminal court room ,
whert It la 'nopc'd that the ghosts of gone

Frank Mpores Intends to spend at least
a year after rbtlrlng from the ofllce In col

a great amounljof recording which It wau
Impossible Jo do earlier. He will take a
number of. , bis. 'old clerks with him and
among these will probably bo Deputy Clerk
Steere. Tli9 jlattor Is also mention-d as
deputy , for a time at least , under Frank ,
but U Is Understood thathe , will'go with

and will then probably go Into some busi

to th ? amplification of an unique and highly
Interesting Invention , out of which ho claims
he can make money If It Is made a trifle
more practical. Deputy Herman Rosenzwelg.
otherwlso known as "Roxy , " Is talking of
going out Into the state to take charge ot
a newspaper plant. Ho Is also mentioned
In connectlcn with the secretaryship of the
proposed Transmlsslsslppl exposition. He
will not go into the detective business ,
despite the rumor to that effect. Deputy
John Mahcney has begun to grow thin In
the sorvlcs and will fatten up before en
gaging In any business in all probability.
Thtso changes will entirely fill the top
floor of the court ihouso with new people.
On the other hand , the floor below will bs
but slightly changed. The office most affected
will bo that ot the county treasurer.

Krrnlc nf .Vnluro llrllc-vril to
llo tin Kxtlnrt Volcano.
Ono of the Rre.itc t curiosities In the north
west Is the Devil's Tower , located on the
Bcllo Fourche- river , In the extreme- northwestern -
western extremity of the Black Hills. Ot
this wonder geologist of International rcpu-
tAtlbn FaM :
"It lit ,1 remarkable freak of nature nnd
appears not to have b ; n repeated elsewhere
on the earth's furfnce , but stands ) alsne ,
\mlquo nnd mysterious , "
. The tower Is believed to bo the consof a
cooled-down volcano , writes a correspond
of llis Phlfadelp'iila Times. At a distance It
rcsctnbloa a huge cask or barrel made of
gigantic timbers , the pldcs being roughly
furrowed with crystals of tnchynS Its
height Is 1,200 feet above thb llille Fourche
river and 800 feet high from Its bise. The
walls on all side * are .smooth and perpen
dicular.
A 'paragraph concerning It , which has bcsn
wldsly circulated by'the press ot Iho United
States , says that owing to ths smooth and
perpendicular walls on all skies no human
being has ever been able to climb to ths
top. This Is nn error , as during recent ywrs
both n man and a woman have succeeded In
reaching the summit.
On July 4 , 1S93 , a man named Rogew , who
lived , near the tower , performed the dan
gerous and dlfubiilt teal In the presencs of
a number ot people who had guhersd at
the tpot lo celebrate Independence day , nnd
planted ths stars nnd striped on the summit.
Subsequently his wlfo performed the wine
fcnt , ihsy being the only persons , so far ns
known , who have ever stood cu Hie top of
this curious rock.
The nscont was made po. slblo only by
driving Iron spikes or pins Into the perprn-
dlcular sides of the tower almost the cn-
tlro distance of SOO test from the basa to
the summit , nnd even then the asc'nt was
attended with the constant danger that the
climber would lose his or her equilibrium
nnd bo dashed to death on the Jagged rocks
beneath.
The northwest Is dotted with bultes nnd
other freaks of nature , less Interesting , how
ever , than the Devil's Tower , and practically
every one of them Is the subject of an In
dian legend. The tower Is no exception to
the general rule , and Is connected with a
Sioux legend , which Is best told In the words
of a resident In the vicinity of the tower.
He said :
"While at Yankton several years ago I
met several old Sioux Indians with whom I
way acquainted , and having a photograph of
the Devil's Tower with me , I thought they
Would like to sco It. After having shown
them the photograph they appeared greatly
excited , and askc l mo If an underground
passage had been found beneath the tower.
Of course no such passageway has been
found by the psoplo living near It. After
considerable ) urging I got them to tell mo
what they know of the tower nnd an under
ground pastage. They replied that a number
of years ago , while thrcJ warriors of their
trlbo were hunting In that vicinity , they dis
covered an opening which led directly under
the tower , nnd that after procuring torches
they proceeded to Investigate , nnd after fol
lowing the paiuage a great distance , prob
ably 700 to 800 yards , found a number of
bones of what they supposed to bs human
beings. They then proceeded until they
came to a lake of crystal water , which they
claimed was nbout fifty feet wldo by sev
enty-five feet long. Here * they discovered
moro bones , nnd among them a grsat quan
tity of gold. They were for some unexplained
reason afraid to take this treasure/ away with
them , and after getting outside the cava they
determined on blocking the entrance so ef
fectually that It could not be < discovered by
anyone else , evidently intending to return
at tome future time and carry away the troas-
use. This story they claimed to have rc-
cslved from ona of the trio who made the
all g2d discovery , and who was on his death
bed when telling them of It. Such a passage
may exist , nnd the lake also , but the gold
theory has pretty much the same sound as
ono of ths"Lost Cabin stories. "
The tower Is at prciont some distance from
a railroad , and , therefore , not easily accessi
ble to the average tourist , but when a rail
road is extended to Its Immediate vicinity
It Is certain to become ono of the favorite
objects pf Interest to eyery visitor to that
portion of the northwest.
OP POXES AXn OTTRHS.
MOM ! Valuable of the Fai-H Kouail Ii <
tlit ; 1'uclllc Coast ItrnionH.
The most precious of all Pacific coast furs ,
says the San Francisco Chronicle , Is the sea
otter. There was a tlmo when this animal
was very plentiful off the California coast.
The Russians arc largily responsible for their
destruction nt the time they founded a sottlc-
ment at Fort Ross , at the mouth of Russian
rlvor , In Sonoma county. Some sea otters are
still captured off the California coast , and
there are a few small vessels specially en
gaged off California coast sea otter huntIng -
Ing ; but Ala'skan waters are the chief source
of supply of t'nls ' class of fur-bearing animals.
Sea otters are always found afloat , and the
hunter can capture , them In no other way
than by shoaling. The deeper and colJer ths
water' they nre found in the better HID fur
and the higher the prlco the hunter secures
for tha pelt.
A first-class ssa otter sxm in tno raw is
worth $500 to the 'hunter. The beat sea
otter pelts taken off the California coast
will yield | 250 each to the huntrr. Thers
may bo elements , however , In the pelt which
may reduce the value of the Alaskan palt
to $20 nnd that of the California coast to
$5. The coast of Japan , has bien n god
hunting ground for sea otter , and during
the past twenty-five years savoral email
craft have sailed from San Francisco and
San Diego to Japan , outfitted for otter.hunt-
Ing. Almost all sea ottr tklns nr. ? mar
keted In Russia , whcro the fur Is In demand.
Next In value to the pea otter Is the fox
imong the fur bearing animals at the Pa
cific coast. Six kinds are hunted for thslr
pjltn , which rancs from 20 cents to $90
each In the raw.
These are the silver , cross , red , blue , gray ,
and white. Smethlng very rara among
foxes Is a black coated animal. , and thu
fur of such a fox commands a fancy price ,
often running aa high aa $150. To supply
the demand fcr black fox furs , furriers pre
pare an Imitation by dyeing the fur of the
red fox , whloV lo the chenpoit pe'.t of th ?
tex family , the best "red" not being worth
. -j the trapper more than $2.25 per Bkln.
If wo except the natural black fjx , the
ilghout prlcd ! fox peltj are tho' "silver"
and the "blue. " A trapper gets for a pcr-
'cct silver fox plt as he strips It from the
caress about $90 , and for the best blue fox
pelt about $22 ,
An effort Is bolng made en the Al utlan
alands to farm the blue fox. Some ot the
wnall Islands In the group suitable for the
wposea ot farming have bten leased by
nine of the old trappirs of the Hudson
lay and Alaska Commercial companies for
a nominal rent , and these have been stocked
with txo3. Tha animals tire stockaded and
regularly fed by the farmer , who Is usually
a "ivpjaw" man , tint Is , on ? living with
a native woman , who Is settled with ibis
'amlly on the Island , In time the animals
lecomo domesticated and are then easily
managed. Furriers are watching the ex-
lerlimnt with considerable Interest.

In dlrcusslng the development ot the mine

d'ndlock , nnd with the prospect that It
wmld not be broken they decided thnt It
would be best tor both If the propzrty were
all h Id by one man ,
"Let us rattle the bones for It , " sug
gested Welsh.
"What shall It be ? " was Mr. Bell's prompt
reply.
"Thro ? shakos , horses , " Mr , Welsh thought
would bo about the thing. Mr , Bell philo
sophically r fleeted that what was tnuco for
Iho goo ? . ' was sauce for the gander. To bo
sure there might be luck In the "rocky road
to Dublin , " or In "drop dead , " or In "ba o-
ball dice , " or "poker dice , " ns they play
the game In California , but It would b ns
likely to bo luck fcr Mr. Welsh as for Mr.
Boll , and nftT considering a moment he
said that "three shakes , horses , " was good
01 ough for him.
They dropped Into Staff & Ophelm's and
called for the bones. They were handed to
Mr. Bell , and ho took the first rattle at
them. On the first flop ho threw throJ acis ,
and on each succeeding throw another nco
came to keep thnt ono company. Flvo ace-s
were so good Oiat Mr. Bell reposed In confi
dence whllo he awaited the result of the first
horso. Ilia opponent had but three sixes , the
best ho could do. Mr. Welsh , ns IB th ? cus
tom , kept the dice box nnd shook ngaln.
"Four fixes , " ho salil , ns ho picket ! up
the dice and handed the box along. "That's
good enough this time. You can't shake
five of a kind c\vry time. "
Mr. Bell couldn't. Ho managed to get a
pair of fivcn , having split a pair of deuces
In thn first place because lie thought they
weren't good enough. It was "hors ? and . "
Then Mr. Bsll tried with all his mlgh
The result was four fives.
"I113W In the box , " said Mr. Welsh 1
Charley Snedaker , who was rofereelnij th
game. Mr. Snedaker compiled. Ho nls
made a fv mysterlouo pas,02s over the box
and muttered an Incantation taught him b

With a smllo of confidence- . Welsh teethe
the cycllndcr In his hands again. "They hav

Ivories out. They rolled across the face o
the showcase and settled down , while bet

$100,000 at stake.
"Five aces , " said tlio reterc- ? .
"That settles It , " said Mr. Bell.
