spondent of the Philadelphia Preaa. returned
a day or two ago to England after a brief
visit to th United States. He came to the
United Statea convinced that thta Nile dam.
which In some of Its details represents his
experience and ability. Is unmatched by any
architecture of like character elsewhere In
the world. When In England he was fond ot
saying to thoae who had been accustomed
to boast of th capacity and size of the
dam constructed at Verawy, In Wales,
whereby Liverpool and Ita suburb are sup
plied with water as pure as any that flows
from an artealan well, that thla great Welah
work wa, after all, trivial In comparison
with tha dam at Assouan. He went to
Franc and th engineers there showed him
th dam which Franc holds In proper pride,
tbe famous Furnls dam, and while he ad
mitted that the French engineers had With
preat skttl triumphed over certain top
ographical difficulties and had erected a
dam which Is decidedly ot high rank In the
list of the world's architecture ot that kind,
nevertheless. l capacity and size It was
no more than a aegment ot the dam at
Aaaouan.
He came to the United Statea having In
mind the facility of some of the American
mechanical apparatua tor certain grading

Upper Nile region. He goes back to Eu

which will be ready for It public servloe

may, at th earliest moment, call the at
tention of th legislature of th city to the
Imperative need that within five or six
years there shall be begun another system
fully matching the colossal one which Is
nearly completed and which, when It was
designed, was thought to be sufficient for
Manhattan and the Bronx for the lifetime
of tbe generation.
A few comparisons will suggest the enor
mity of the demand the old city of New
York makes for a water supply. The Eng
lish engineer when he came here reported
some most Interesting details of the con
struction of the Assouan dam. He spoke
not only of Its mechanical and engineering
triumphs, but also of tbe political and
economic revolution It Is expected to ac
complish within a few years. He said half
Jestingly and with half aerlous Import:
"You Amercans should be Jealous of that
conquest of the Nile, first, because It Is
greater than any work of kindred character
which you have, next because it may by and
by make Is possible for England to rely to
a great extent upon the cotton and the
wheat fields of Egypt and the valley of the
Nile for Ita supplies, and possibly because,
with the fine development of upper Egypt
and Central Africa and with the completion
of the railroad stretching from the Cape to
Cairo, there may come a ahlfting of the
center of commercial gravity which will be
of aerioua consequence to the United
States."
No one could make any reply In the way
of fortified denial of aome of these state
ments. No one can tell whether or not It Is
true that th conquest of tbe fertile valley
ot tha Upper Nile Is ultimately seriously to
affect the market tor American cotton and
wheat In England. An Imagination of a
poet Is necessary to forecast the economic
and political effects consequent upon the
construction of a railroad with one terminal
od the Mediterranean sea and the other at
Capetown. Bu one of the statements made
by thla engineer was capable of positive
disapproval. The dam at Assouan la not aa
great aa the Croton dam, although It ap
proaches In magnitude the colossal struc
ture now almost completed In tbe valley of
the Croton.
The Croton dam Is 6,300 feet in length.
That Is soma 300 feet longer than tbe
Assouan dam. In placea It is ninety feet
lu height, whereaa in others the structure
Is only one-third of that altitude, and that
Is because of th varying topography of
tbe outcropping' rock upon which the dam
la built. Tbe Assouan dam averages some
thing over thirty feet In height.
No Denntte Flanrea.
When Mr. Coleman, th contractor, who
has spent some of the best years of his life
In th construction of thla Croton work,
waa today asked how much the Croton dam
exceeds in magnitude that at Aaaouan. he
replied that the queatlon had beeu asked
hm many times, and had some from many
parts of tbe world, Indicating that else,
where, even as far away as India and Hong
Kong, national pride has led to assertions
on tbs part of Englishmen that their Nile
dam waa the greatest in tbe world, and on
tbe part of Americana that one near New
York wa atlll larger. But Mr. Coleman
taid that it la Impossible, because there are
no detailed measurements of the Assouan
dam at haud, for hiui to aay bow much the
excraa of tbe Croton dam, uieasured by feet
or cubic yards of capacity, ia. It waa
enough to aay that our own public work
waa considerably greater. Therefor, th

GRAND EASTER SATURDAY MILLINERY SALE.
Ton would be surprised to hear the nu
merous compliments on our Easter mil
linery this season. Some of the most
particular dressers In Omsha have come
back and said: "We have been all over
the city and your hats are certainly the
swellest we . have seen." "We will take
that hat we were looking at this morning.
No on else can approach the style and
values you offer."

significance of the rtatement mad by
Mayor Low today that this greatest ot
public works of this character will hardly
be completed before It will be necessary
for New York to prepare for another, is
mad all th mor Impressive by reason
of this comparison. ,
Th capacity of th Croton dam when
completed is so enormous that it will b
aster to represent It not by figures, but by
words. It Is approximately thirty-four
thousand millions gallons. It every gallon
represented a dollar, then the capacity of
this dam would represent one-half of the
aggregate wealth ot th whole United
States.
But It is only on of a series. A few miles
farther toward the north and at an altitude
of soma 600 feet higher than that ot the
Croton dam, there Is another, and an hour'a
drive beyond, at a still greater altitude,
another, and farther on towards the north
still another, so that there rise one above
another these several dams, of which the )
greatest Is that monster which is at thai
lowest altitude. Together they have a ca-1
paclty ot sixty thousand million gallons ot
water, and when the aqueduct are com
pleted to Manhattan and tha Bronx, some
thing that will be done within a few months,
they will be capable of delivering to Man
hattiu and tho Bronx 360,000,000 gallons ot
water every day.
None hut those who know what tha gl
gantio thirst, so to speak, of Manhattan
and the Bronx la would dream that a ca
pacity of this character would after five or
six years be Insufficient tor that part of th
new City of New York, which was th old.
Furthermore, if the borough of Brooklyn
grows as rapidly as it has been stimulated
to do in the last four or five years, it must
either stretch out to the remote eastern
end of Long Island, going to the watershed
of the Shlnnecock Hills, overcoming the
objections ot the farmers and the fisher
men of that vicinity to this capture ot that
watershed or else Brooklyn must turn to
the Croton valley and Insist that an aque
duct carried by tunnel under the East river
be ao built as to afford Brooklyn an ade
quate water supply tor many years.
Wats Yoa Go to Havana.
"I want to advise Americans who go to
Havanna to be on their guard aa to the
cuatoma of the natlvea in regard to eat
ing." said John M. Richmond ot Providence,
R. I., to the Washington Poat. "It took
ma some days and aome extra cash to catch
on to tbe Havana hotel system, which is
radically different from what we are used
to in the States. At the best hotel in the
city I learned at the start that my living.
Including room, would b $5 a day, which
seemed reasonable enough. At S o'clock in
the morning I sought th dining room pre
pared for a hearty meal. There was noth
ing but a roll, a cup of coffee and a few
orangea. At my complaint of this meager
tare the waiter said I could get hant and
egga if I chose, but they would cost extra.
This waa the first I knew that the Cubans
Imitated the Parisians as to their mode of
living. Tbey wait until about noon for tbe
substantial breakfast that we consider in

HOW CRAZY HORSE GAVE UP THE GHOST
Paaraaclon Sloox Chief Harried to
tha Happy Hunting Grounds
Recollection of a Soldier
Who Witnessed th Job.
One of th greatest mysteries of the fa
mous Custer massacre and Sioux war ot
1876 was tbe death of Crazy Horse, one of
the principal chiefs and leaders ot the re
bellious Sioux, a man, who above all others,
was the evil genius of thct stormy period.
The telegraphic reports sent out from Fort
Roblneon at tbe time of his death were con
tradictory and nebulous. No one seemed
to know how he died, while tbs man who
killed him, William Gentles of the Four
teenth United States infantry, died with the
secret locked In his bosom. There were
only two witnesses to the act, and only on
of them Is now living. HI nam Is Ser
geant William F. Kelly, formerly ot the
Fourteenth infantry, now a resident ot E
street In Wssblngton. Th story that ha
only th other day told to a Washington
Post reporter ot tbe killing or Crazy Horse
has never before been published. Sergeant
Kelly x bad kept the matter a secret for
twenty-seven years.
"At the conclusion of the Custer massa
cre on June 25, 1876," said Sergeant Kelly,
"the Sioux, pursuant to a custom followed
by all plains Indians In their wars with
the whites, split up Into numerous small
bands which departed In every direction. In
order to bewilder the troops which tbey
knew would follow. Most of these bands
came In at the approach of winter and
surrendered, and a large body of them
were captured In Montana by General Miles,
but the band under Crazy Horse, which
sought refuge In the Powder River coun
try, succeeded in eluding pursuit, remain
ing out until late In February of 1877.
"It was during the latter part of this 1
month, however, that Crazy Horse snd bis
band, half starved and nearly frozen, ar
rived at Red Cloud agency, Nebraska, In
the teeth of a cutting blizzard, and offered
to surrender. The agent, whom the In
dians thoroughly despised, for very good
ressons, had deserted at tbe outbreak of the
81oux war, and, at the time I speak of, the
sgency waa being conducted by lieutenant
Johnaton of the Fourteenth Infantry, which
regiment, together with aeveral otbera,
waa atattoned at Fort Robinson under Gen
eral McKensie. The fort lay at a short dis
tance from the agency, and as soon as th
fact became known General McKenzl went
over and held a pow-wow with th Indians,
at which terms o' capitulation were ar
ranged. Rations were laaued to the starv
ing redskins, who pitched their tepees on
th bank ot Whit Clay creek, about six
miles distant from the fort and agency.

deeming trait or quality, and on of th
hardest men to deal with in tha entire
west. Consequently it was not long after
this event before Crazy Horse bad a serious
quarrel with his principal subchlef and ad
viser, an Indian known to tha whites as
Little Bad Man. I don't know what It waa
about, but, at all events, the two remained
deadly enemies from that time forward,
and as a result of this trouble Little Bad
Man gathered his followers together, and,
separating from Crazy Horse, established
his camp at a point some two miles up tbe
creek. Things remained quiet until the
next ration day earn round. In those days
It was th custom to issue beef to th In
diana on th hoof. Tha entire tribe, bucks
and squaws alike, mounted on ponies, would
congregate about the corral In which tbe
government cattle were kept, and as fast as
the cattle were driven out would hold a
regular buffalo hunt, whooping and yelling
and riding, chasing the cattle until th poor
animals were almost ready to drop, then
shooting and leaving them to the squaws
to skin and butcher, as they did in the days
of old on their buffalo hunts.
"On this occasion Lieutenant Johnston
was on the point ot laauiug cattle to Crazy
Horse, when the Interpreter Informed him
that Little Bad Man had asked that his
cattle be Issued separately. The acting
agent waa perplexed, for at that time
everyone was trying to pacify the Indians,
and ha realized that whatever he did he
waa certain to arouse tbe anger of on or
the other of the two men. He asked th
advice ot the Interpreter. Th latter re
plied that he thought th best plan would
be to lasue rations as requested by Little
Bad Man. This the agent did, serving Lit
tle Bad Man first, when, sure enough, just
as he had feared. Crazy Horse flew Into a
fury, refusing to accept bis share of the
rattle and riding back to camp, followed
by his people.
"Spring was approaching, nnd it waa not
long after that before Crazy Horse began
making trouble. It was not In bis nature to
remain peaceful and quiet, and the reports
seemed to indicate that be waa preparing
for the warpath. Among other things, he
circulated tbe story that General McKenzle
and his entire command were preparing to
descend on his camp some night and mas
sacre tbe entire outfit. By means of this
and similar stories he managed to start a
reign ot terror both In his own ramp and
that also of Little Bad Man. At that time
Crazy Horse had some 300 warriors and lit
tepees, and the wsy we came to hear these
reports was due to the feuds which existed
among the Indians themselves.
"Th Ogalalla Sioux, under Red Cloud,
and tbe Brule Sioux, under Spotted Tall, had
remained loyal to th whites during the
campaign of 1876, and also the Arapahoes.
Red Cloud and his people were stationed at
the agency named In his honor, while Spot
ted Tall and the Brule Sioux were at Spot
ted Tall agency, some miles distant. Tha
Ogalallas wer bitter enemies of the North
ern Sioux under Crazy Horse, despising tbe
latter from tbe bottom of their hearts. A
very considerable number of these Indisns
were at that time enlisted and aervlng in
several companies at Fort Robinson, and
inasmuch as Crazy Horse was a domineer
ing tyrant, who held his people In subjec
tion more through tear than he did through
klndneaa, they did a good deal ot talking be
hind his back to the Ogalallas and enlisted
Indians, who, of course, carried tbe word
direct to th commanding officer.

ing that General McKe tzle sent word to
Crazy Horse through an Interpreter, telling
him to come to the fort, that he wanted to
see him. Crazy Horse sent word that If
McKenzle wanted to see blm he would have
to come to bis camp. Following this Gen
eral McKenzle sent a second time, summon
ing him to his fort, in reply to which Crazy
Horse stated that he v as sick. The third
time General McKenzle sent word he gave
Crazy Horse to understand that unless he
obeyed the summons he would send down
and have him brought to tbe fort by force.
Crazy Horse concluded that; It would be well
to obey and sent word back that he would
be up the following morning. '
"When . a person hears a great deal of
some famous personage it is no more than
natural that he should fom a somewhat ex
alted notion of the personality and appear
ance of the distinguished Individual, and
such wss the state of my mind with regard
to Crazy Horse. I expected to see a second
Pontlac, a noble red man, and you can
imagine my surprise when on the arrival
next morning ot Crazy Horse h-'.ZTa the
general's quartern benem one of the
meanest, sickest, most repulnive looking
Indians that ever walked the face ot the
globe. Of course, I was not present at the
conference, but I heard enough cf what took
place to know that General McKenr'.e gave
blm a pretty straight talking to. He was
given to understand that McKenzle was not
contemplating any night attack on bis vil
lage, but try hi g to live In peace, and that
It warfare became necessary he would come
In the daytime to do what fighting he had to
perform.
"Instead of pacifying Crazy Horse, It only
made him worse. At the time he surren
dered he gave up some 600 ponies, which
were given to Red Cloud, nnd at the con
ference he asked that they be restored, a
request flatly refused by General McKenzle.
This mnde hlra furlouH. and a few weeks
after this pow-wow reports began coming
in that Crazv Horse was preparing to take
the warpath. In the meantime, however.
General McKenzle waa relieved. General
L. P. Bradley arriving as his successor.
General Bradley had been at the fort only
a few days when another alarming report
came In, the reeult of which was that the
entire command was ordered ready for ac
tion, snd on the following morning left the
fort to surround and rapture Crazy Horse
and his band.
"There waa only on cannon at the fort,
an old brass affair used for firing the morn
ing and evening gun. and this constituted
the artillery. An old Irtnhman named Mur
phy, who quarreled with the driver be
cause the latter failed to keep the six
mules in line with the est of the com
mand, had rharge of the battery, while I
was the gunner. Little Bad Man waa on
hand to guide us to the camp of hla rival,
and away we went In fine style. The work
of surrounding tho camp, which was In a
low hollow or depression In the prairie,
waa very skillfully executed, but when the
order came to close in, and we crossed the
ridge that ahut tha ramp off from view,
not a tepee was in sight.
"It appears that Crazy Hcrse had spies
out, as well aa oursclvea. and that he had
gotten wind cf thla Intended move somt
five hours beforehand. What happened In
the Indian camp I am not able to say, bat,
st all events, his band picked up In a body
before daylight the following morning and,
moving Into Red loud agency, mixed
among the Ogalallaa in such a manner that
they wer not readily noticed, while Crazy

Horae mounted a horse and set out for
Spotted Tall agency, hoping to ye low at
that point until things quieted down anj '
be got in thorough readiness for the war
path.
"While we wer standing about disgusted
and disgruntled over our poor success, on.i
of Crazy Horse's band cam up and told ui
what had occurred. We returned to the
fort, and as thers wss a telegraph Una
from there to Spotted Tall agency, Geuerai
Bradley wired Colonel Brooke (now Gen
eral Brooke, retired) to have Spotted Tail
arrest Crazy Horse the moment he arrived.
This tbe former was found quit willing to
do and did, and Mr. C. Horse was brruiht
back to the fort In an ambulpnre "1
by two troops of cavalry.
"The Indians at Red Cloud agency having
heard ot hi coming, had congregated about
the fort, and when we arrived with Crazy
Horse, the pandemonium- and excitement
that followed I shall never forget. To be
gin with, the followers of Crazy Horse grew
excited over the exultation of the Ogalallas,
Brules and members of Little Bad Man's
party, and prepared for battle. This was
the signal for counter hostilities on th
part of the friendly Sioux, who began strip
ping their clothing for fight.
. "Crazy Horse waa taken to the adjutant's
office, where the officer of the day. Captain
Kinnington, and his enemy. Little Bad Man,
were waiting for him. Crazy Horse thought
he wss going to attend some msnner ot
conference, and when Kinnington and Littl
Bad Man started with him to th guard
house, about 200 feet distant, he bucked so
that they had their hands full getting him
over to this building. It was then sun
down, and the space between th guard
house and office building was filled with In
dians, soldiers and tbe guard, who. with
fixed bayoneta, were atationed there to pre
vent anyone from getting in tbe way ot th
two men and their recalcitrant prisoner.
Just aa they entered the prison Crazy Horse
caugbt sight of the grated doors and Iron
bars of tho cell he was to occupy, and with
one supreme effort threw Kinnington In
one direction and Little Tad Man In an
other. As he did so he drew a long butcher
knife from up his sleeve and attacked Littl
Bad Man, cutting him on the wrlat. The
latter wan game, and, grasping Crazy Horse
by the wrists, the two struggled lor h
mastery out through the door and Into th
alleyway between the prison and the office.
The guard formed a circle around th two
men aa they struggled, while Kinnlngto
was trying every way he ,uld to get some
one to part the two men snd secur Crazy
Horse.
"It was an exciting moment, when a
shot would have started a massacre, and
no on knew Just what to do. Suddenly
as the two men surged forward in th di
rection of where I wat standing, I saw
William Gentles, an old soldier and a vet
eran of the Mormon campaign of 1857, glv
Crazy Horse a thrust with his bayonet.
The thrust was delivered with lightning
like rapidity, and In the next instant ha
had his gun at carry, as though nothing
had happened. Crazy Horse gar a deep
groau, stuKgered forward, dropped his
knife snd fell.
"Only two men, myself and another, saw
and Knew how this was done, snd lb
strangest thing of it all was that many of
the members of tbe guard Imagined they
were guilty of the killing.
"Crazy Horae died at midnight. He was
unconscious all the while, and never ut
tered a word.
