BERGH AND GEN. SHERMAN.
An Interesting Incident in Which a
Pretty Maiden Figures.
Nuw York, Juno 11.—“ If selfishness
were contagious gni! fatal wlmt an awful
epidemic there would be, and what a lot of
good material for funerals would lie gath
ered up right here.” said a witty iatlv on
Decoration Day as forty or fifty of its stood
on the steps of the Fifth avenue branch of
the Mercantile Library , trying to see over
and through each other so" as to now and
hen catch a glimpse of the procession as it
larchoil by.
Everybody laughed except the brass
nosed woman who provoked the remark by
.preading a parasol directly in front of
three small but eager children.
. She heai-d the remark and the laugh. She
understood both perfectly; but she did not
close that parasol, so she enjoyed the su
preme satisfaction of seeing the soldiers
herself, while she possessed the proud con
sciousness of preventing a number of other
•eople from catching even a glimpse of any
thing below the tops of the flag-staffs.
And what a pathetic iot of flags those
were! Poor tattered old shreds, clinging to
their posts, and reverently carried by old
and broken men who. themselves young and
active, had followed these same flags when
they came fresh and crisp from the loving
hands that worked so bravely to send ban
ners that should be worthy of the men who
were to follow them.
Poor, tattered, silken wrecks; What
memories they arouse! what teal's they
start! I found myself with pictures of un
utterable sorrow in my heart and tears on
my cheeks, and I realized that it was the
flags and not the men that stirred my blood
and made me fiercely angry that nobody
cheered them, and that men stood stolidly
by with covered heads while these pathetic
symbols of glory and of death were home
once more to the graves of those who had
followed them so bravely and fallen under
their folds.
1 hope that this did not happen anywhere
else along the line of march, and that all of
the brass-nosed, selfish women and stolid,
unenthusiastie men happened to be massed
on that particular block, where even the
banner with Lincoln on it did not call forth
one single cheer and made no man lift his
hat.
A little further down a pretty girl about
the kissable age—you may decide for your
self how old she was—with lips as fresh as a
rose and eyes as pure and clear that no other
jewels could be half so rich and beautiful,
exclaimed: “Oh, which one is Gen. Sher
man ? I must see Gen. Sherman! I never
have, and he might die!”
Her companion laughed. “Well, the very
homeliest old codger you see to-day will be
the General.”
“Provided your ugly old chap is as thin
as a match and as dry as a New York Sun
day,” put in one of the party.
“I don’t care how homely he is, I shall
cheer,” said the pretty little maiden.
I thought that I would tell her that she
would have to go down to Madison square
to see Sherman; but I yielded to the temp
tation to see what man she would cheer on
the strength of deciding that he took the
palm for homeliness.
A puffy old German commanding one
division of the Grand Army came near re
ceiving the honor vicariously, but she sud
denly stopped and said: “Thin! Well, he’s
not thin, and besides he looks as if he drank
beer. Does Sherman?”
“No. Sherman looks ns if he drank bran,”
said a bystander, and everybody laughed.
Just then Mr. Bergh hove in sight and
the littie miss hesitated no longer. She
cheered lustily.
“There he is! There he is! He looks just
like you said; but I don't care, he’s just
splendid, anyhow. Oh, why don’t the peo
ple cheer him?”
And before her escort knew which man
she had chosen to bestow her enthusiasm for
Gen. Sherman u]X>n Mr. Bergh had passed,
all unconscious of the distinguished honor
done him, the compliments paid his manly
beauty and showered upon his humane
head.
So the man whose profession it is to pre
vent suffering and death was mistaken for
the one whose profession requires him to
dispense both when occasion demands—and
ul! because both men are tall, thin, and look
as dry as a powder magazine.

BUFFALO BILL CRAZE.
The Prinpess of Wales Visits the
Yankeeries at Night Incog.
A London letter to the Philadelphia Press
says: I have already referred to the manner
In which Minister Phelps has openly opposed
the American Exhibition. He actually re
fused to even see some of the managers, al
though they had personal letters of intro
duction to him from such men as Speaker
Carlisle and Secretary Bayard. After ig
noring the exhibition on the opening day,
after publishing in the London newspaper
an offensive notice to the public, intimating
that the managers were trying to sail under
false colors, and after openly antagonizing
this enterprise iu every possible way, he
has now seen fit to visit it. And why?
Because royalty has made it the proper
thing. I am glad to hear that some of
the directors refused to be presented to Mr.
Phelps. It is a great pity that we have not
a larger and more imposing display of ex
hibits. Crowds of people are attracted to
the “Yankeeries” every day by Buffalo Bill,
who has for the moment become a craze.
Nearly all of the visitors take a walk around
the exhibition. It would have been a rare
chance for exhibitors. It is not too late
now. The art department is exceedingly
good and attracts many admiring visitors.
Upon the whole the exhibition and Buffalo
Bill attachment is a novel show, and will be
a great success financially. It might have
been as big a success as an exhibition of
American industry had the right spirit lieen
shown, and had not the American Legation
waged constant and oj>en hostility against it.
ARISTOCRACY AND THE COWBOYS.
Buffalo Bill,. or Colonel, the Hon. IV. F.
Cody, as he is called here, has taken Lon
don by storm. He is the guest of the aris
tocracy, and on Sunday I am told he will
dine with Albert Edward himself. While
the future King of England and the noble
Bars of the realm are hobnobbing with the
on. Mr. Cody. Coi. Burke, Orator Rich
mond and Red Shirt,, baronets and knights
are glad enough to secure the genial cow
boy to dine witli thorn and meet their fami
lies. I was told yesterday of an amusing
scene witnessed by an American gentleman.
An English baronet, with single eye glass
and very English accent,was asking a couple
of cowboys to dino with him.
“Be kind enough to give me your cards,”
said the Baronet.
“Well, to tell the truth,” replied the rather
embarrassed young men, “we haven’t got
any.”
“Oh, never mind; a mere formality' cards
are, you know. Not necessary at all, my
dear boys. Lady F will bo delighted to
meet you. YVhait are your engagements for
the week?”
The two young fellows looked at each
other and said; “Most any night would suit
us, I guess.”
‘‘Delighted, you know. Well, say Fri
day night. We shall expect you Friday
wight. Quite informal. Never mind dress
suits.”
The two cowboys went and I have no
doubt behaved very nicely, but it will be
surprising if tho fuss being made over them
here does not spoil some of them.
For the moment the cowboys have the
town and the royal family. There is a hint
hero for traveling Americans this year.
Lay in a stock of brood-briininod white
hats, let your hair grew long and don't lie
too aesthetic. The pendulum has swung to
the other extreme. In place of Oscar VV ilde
we havo Buffalo BUI. Honors are easy.
England gavo us the former; we have given
England the latter.
ALEXANDRA’S ADVENTURE.
One other incident in connection with tho
Yankeeries and I have done. Her Royal
Highness the Princes* of Walee is a* much
gone on the Wild West as His Royal High
icxs tho Prince o* Wales. The other ingkt
Alexandra came down incog, with Col.
Grosvenor and some other swells and a titled
lady or two. They would not accept a box,
but preferred to take “two bob” (50c.) seats.
The Princess was dressed in a dowey-looking
ulster, and enjoyed herself hugely as
one of the people. Afterward she took some
refreshments and expressed her delight at
the performance by night. Were it not for
her deafness I have no doubt the future
Queen of England would have heard many
of the ’ Arrys and Susans who sat around her
talking about “her royal highness” and
saying “as how it was quite proper for
blushing Susan to look upon men stark
naked with the exception of a little apron if
their royal ’ighnesses set the fashion.”
“And then, Susan, dear, there is the
paint. Don’t forget the paint.”
What fun!
THE MIKADO.
Minister Hubbard Tells How the Japan
ese are Becoming Christians.
From the Houston Post..
The following letter from the Hon. R.
B. Hubbard was received by the Rev. W.
K. Marshall, and as it contains information
concerning the evangelization of the Japan
ese empire that mav prove of interest to
ministers and church members we publish
it entire:
Tokio, Japan, March 7, 1887.
Per. Dr. Marshall:
Dear Doctor —l hereby take pleasure
in enclosing for your information the statis
tics of missions and missionary work in
Japan for the year 1886, compiled and pub
lished for the Evangelical Alliance of Japan.
I have no doubt its perusal will be interest
ing to you, and hence I send it. A great
field is “wide open” now, and is
becoming wider every year here
in Japan for Christian evan
gelization. You will observe that
the various Evangelical churches of the
South are largely represented in the mission
ary work of Japan. It is true that there is
no sectional or political prejudices mani
fested among those devoted men and women
from our own and all other Christian lands
who have dedicated their lives and labor to
the cause of the Master in this wonderful
and beautiful land. That is true: yet it is
natural that we should wish to see our own
particular portion of the great republic
more largely represented in the evangeliza
tion of these people than at present. South
ern Christians seem to have turned their at
tention mostly to China, Burmah and India
—vast fields, it is true, for this work,
but not to be compared to Japan
in the present need and urgency,
so to speak, of consecrated, edu
cated, and self-sacrificing missionary labor.
Here are 38,000,000 people on islands con
taining not much more than one-half of the
area of the State of Texas! The whole
country is accessible to the heralds of the
cross from all Christian lands. Unlike the
Chinese, these people do not cling as to life
itself to their ancient political or religious
traditions, or faiths of either church or
state. Within the past one-third of a cen
tury their awakening from a sleep of ages
has been marvelous to the Western world,
and certainly without a parallel heretofore
iu history. In a word, they are ready and
willing, in fact, eagerly so," if convinced, to
let the scales fall from their eyes and to em
brace new thoughts and creeds, whether of
government, science or religion. Such a
people, just at this special juncture, it seems
to me, present the most inviting—urgently
inviting—field for this great work of all
other Oriental lands. lam very truly yours,
Richard B. Hubbard.

Boston letter in the Providence Journal.
One of the stories of the sort which
formed the staple of subject for a school lit
erature now pretty well goneout of fashion,
is told concerning the Quincy House and its
late proprietor, Mr. J. W. Johnson. It is
related by those sometimes entertaining and
anon prolix gossips who know nil the old
stories which deal with their neighbors, that
once Mr. Johnson, then a farmer up the
country, came to Boston to sell a load of po
tatoes. Such was his ill-luck, however, or
the dullness of the market, that at the close
of his marketing ho found himself without
ready money enough to pay his score at the
Quincy House where he had taken a room.
There’was talk of retaining the farmer’s
horses in pledge for his bill, but Johnson,
who was a powerful man, went himself to
the stables and harnessed his team, no man
daring to interfere with him except by
words. The matter terminated for the time
being in the regulation manner of tho old
comedies. The farmer departed in a fine
rage, pursued by the taunts of the employes
of the house, which he answered with a vow
to own the whole establishment before he
died. ... ..
From that day his one ambition seemed to
be to fulfill his boast, and to this end he
labored and saved until —still in the old
fashioned comedy fashion —events had been
shaped to his will, and his Dluck and persis
tence were rewarded bv the actual pos
session of the Quincy House, from whoso
door he had once been ignominiously driven
because he could not pay his bill.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. JUNE 13. 1887.
A FORGED PARDON.
How Ed Rice Stole a Fortune and Was
in Turn Robbed.
From the New York Sun.
One of the nerviest pieces of work ever at
tempted by a professional crook was that
performed by Big Ed Rice eight or ten years
ago, he being assisted in the work by Tom
Bigelow, of Windsor, Ontario. A pal of
Rice had been arrested in Indiana and sent
to prison for attempting to pass a forged
check on a hank. The sentence was for
three years, and the name of the man was
Stetson. More than §I,OOO was paid to
lawyers to prevent his conviction, but it
was a clear case and nothing would save
him. It was claimed that it was a case of
mistaken identity, and the newspapers dis
cussed the affair in a manner to convince
many of their readers that Stetson was a
much injured man. The sentence was no
sooner iu operation than there was talk that
the Governor would be appealed to to grant
a pardon, and the convict had only served
six weeks when it was announced in Indian
apolis and Chicago papers that the Governor
had agreed to grant a pardon. This was the
sly work of Ed Rice with newspaper men.
He claimed to be a New York lawyer and
attorney of Stetson. Bigelow claimed to be
a brother-in-law and a Chicago broker.
What was inserted in the papers after the
trial was for the benefit of the prison oillcials.
It was published only in pajiers that found
their way into prison, and Stetson took good
care that all knew that he was in daily ex
pectation of pardon. He had been in prison
about seven weeks when Rice appeared one
day and stated to the Warden that the Gov
ernor had issued and mailed a pardon, and,
indeed, was in the office when the mail was
received and the pardon taken from its en
velope. The Warden was prepared for the
reception of the document. He believed that
the Governor had been appealed to and that
he looked upon Stetson as an innocent man.
The document was in perfect form, the sig
nature all right, and but for a trifling inci
dent Stetson would have walked out of
prison inside of an hour. Someone from
Indianapolis, who had business at the prison,
came in just as the Warden was looking
over the document and remarked that the
Governor had beeu absent from the State for
several days past and his signature could not
be had to several documents. Here was his
signature to the pardon attached only the
day before at Indianapolis, and the Warden
would have been a poor stick not to see that
something needed explanation. Rice was
cool and collected, and had the other party
not been a friend of the Warden his state
ment would have passed for a mistake. As
it was he determined to investigate before
giving Stetson his liberty, and he said to
Rice:
“If tho Governor was not in Indianapolis
yesterday this signature is a forgery. If he
was there then the document is all right.”
“You can ascertain by telegraph in an
hour,” replied Rice. “I nave some business
at the bank, and will return in an hour.
While I do not see how this document can be
questioned, I yet desire you will take every
precaution to render yourself safe.” He
went out to take a train out of the city, and
be heard of no more, and inside of an hour
it was known that the paper was a forgery.
Bigelow had accomplished his part of the
work in a successful manner, but Rice had
failed through a trifling circumstance. There
was an official investigation into the matter,
or rather one was begun and then zealously
hushed up. There was no question as to the
forgery of the Governor’s signature, but
how Bigelow got the blank pardon and seal
of the State was a mystery. There had been
no breaking and entering, and those who
knew of the case came to the conclusion
that bribery had brought tilings about. A
certain employe of the State who had access
to the Governor’s office suddenly left for
Texas or somewhere else, and the matter
soon died out, Stetson served thirteen
months of his sentence, and then shammed
sickness and escaped from the hospital.
This same Rice and Stetson did a very
bold piece of work in Philadelphia about
six years ago, the lay being entirely differ
ent. Rice had some stolen bonds he was
anxious to dispose of. They were the public
improvement bonds of some Ohio city, and
for some reason the party losing them had
not notified brokers and bankers of their loss.
Rice, dressed as a fanner, entered a stock
broker’s office and said that he had taken the
bonds in exchange for some Virginia coal
lands’, and was only a few minutes convert
ing them into cash. At the time of his visit
a wealthy widow was in the office inquiring
if she had not better sell certain United
States bonds and invest in land mortgages.
Rice heard her name mentioned, and he
heai-d the broker advise her to sell. When
she went away he piped her home, and that
afternoon he called at the house as the con
fidential clerk of Bond & Cos., looked over
the securities and gave her a receipt, and
took away with him §14,000 worth of bonds,
were negotiated liefore noon the next
day. He was all alone in both jobs, and
now, having about §25.000 in his possession,
he determined to take a trip to Euroi. He
changed his money for gold and secured a
passage for Liverpool. Luck had singularly
favored him in his undertaking, but now it
as strangely deserted him. He desired to
keep his monej’ under his own eye instead
of placing it in the purser’s keeping. With
the exception of a few hundred dollars, he.
stowed it away in his trunk, and on the
fourth day out this receptacle wasopened by
false keys"and every do! lar taken out. The
ship was raided from the stem to stem, and
tin) people kept under the strictest suveil
lance, but Rice never received a dollar of it
back. Two weeks alter tie landed in England
the police arrested a swindler with a large
amount of gold in his possession, but Rico
dared not seek to identify it for fear of be
ing arrested himself.

encumbered. The ceremony was tho open

Fields, and the ’placing of some benches
there for folks to *it on. The Prince made
some remarks, hut 1 didn’t quite catch them,
and then he retired to his cairlage through

A DIAMOND BETRAYED HIM.
How Burton, tho Stage Robber, Was
Finally Captured.
Prom the Kansas City Journal.
The publications of the adventures of
Burton, the noted stage robber, in the East
ern pa pei-s recalls the history of his capture.
Capt. W. L. Richardson, of this city, was the
man who captured him.
In speaking of the matter yesterday he
said:
“One day I was in Pueblo, when news came
that the mysterious bandit had robbed a
stage just outside of Alamosa about dusk the
night before, and, after taking between s*>,-
000 and £7,000, boldly rode into the town
ahead of the despoiled coach. Knowing the
nature of the man, I suspected he would
come to Pueblo and I determined to catch
him and catch him alone.
“A singular freak of Burton’s was to
wear an immense diamond shirt-stud when
ever he held up a coach, and may a victim’s
eyes had been dazzled by this cruel display
while his pockets were being emptied. I
determined to watch for that diamond.
About 1 o’clock p. m. the train from Alamosa
pulled in and among the passengers was a
a well-built man, fairly dressed, with a cap
pulled over his eyas. He walked toward
the depot door in a manner that attracted
my attention and I intercepted him.
“ ‘lfifur name is so and so,’ said I.
“ ‘No it isn’t’, was the reply.
“ ‘Yes it is,’ I returned. He denied it
again and I said carelessly:
“ ‘Well, I guess you’re right.’
“As I was talking to him I saw the fa
mous diamond. I was sure that a man who
would rob a stage full of miners single-hand
ed would fight. I covered him and told
him to throw up his hands. Ho hesitated
a moment. I though I would have to kill
him, blithe finally weakened and confessed.
I then secured all the money and sent him up
to Denver. When near Tombstone he re
ceived permission to go to the closet, ami
took advantage of the chance to loan through
the window. The train was stopped, backed
down, rad Burton was reoapurod. After
his heavy sentence and while on his way to
the Detroit House of -Correction he again
leaped from the train and nearly succeeded
in escaping, but that part of the story is too
well known to bear repetition.
“The worst adventure I ever had with
this class of robbers, who are now hardly
ever heard from, was in 1883 in Texas, neap
Colorado City, and a true account, of it has
never appeared in print before, I believe. I
had been appointed to a position in the secret
service and given tho task of breaking up
the Donovan gang of stage and mail rob
bers. Tfttfre were thirteen members, some
of thfjm of whom had been with Bam Bass.
They W*e a deperate lot and committed
many rtWirdbre, among which was that of
an inoffensive traveler ond his wife. They
hid in tfe Jfalpena Mountains in holes and
caves that were almost impossible to dis
cove, but one day we found seven of them
in a blind 'banon and besieged them. I had
seven Textts rangers with me and deter
mined to make them come out and fight.
After lying before the entrance of the canon
three or four da vs they made their appear
ance and opened fire. We were about 400
feet apart and that is point-blank range
with a Winchester when a dead shot is
working the pump-handle. One of the
rangers was wounded and another one skulk
ed, but we made the riflle after an hour’s
fighting. They surrendered and we found
we had killed two of their party, Elias
Courtrigbt and a man named Dean. Two
of the worst of the gang, J. Walker, the
two Donovans, Johnson, and Carter, were
sent up for life. 1 was shot through the
right shoulder, but kept right on until an
other ball caught me in the arm. 1 was laid
up fourteen months from the effect, of the
wounds.”
The Beginning of His Prosperity.
From the Detroit Free Press.
An Alabamian, who is worth ?!00,
000 to-day, was asked how he got his
start when the war closed. "Do you mean
what was the first thing I did ?” he replied.
“Yes.” “Well. I headed across the country
for Hclma. When I got within 10 miles of
the town I stopped at a house for dinner.
It was a place owned by an old chap who
did a heap of blowing to egg the Confeder
aey on, but had not gone to war himself.
He wanted to charge me it dollar green
back for the meal. I offered him §20,900 in
Confederate money. He got mad, and I
said: ‘Here, old man, is tho money you
helped to make, and I'm carrying around
two bullets shot into me in the waj- you
helped bring on. Now come out here!’ He
