Speaking about cowboys. Bam Stewart,
known from Montana to Oil Mexico a-
Bronko Bam, was tbe chief. His special
delight was In break ilie warlike heart of
the vicious wild pony of Ibe plains, and
wake him tbe servant of man.
There may be joy In a wild gallop across
the boundless plains, iu 'lie er sp morning,
on tbdKiack oi a fleet bronko; but when
you return with your ribs sticking through
S our vest, and find that your nimble steed
ss returned u> town two hours ahead of
you, there is a tinge of sadness about it
all.
Bronko Sam, however, made a specialty
of doing all the riding himself. He would
not enter into any compromise and allow
tbe horse to ride him.
In a reckless moment he offered to bet
$10 that he cou d mount and ride a wild
Texas steer. The money wu nut up. That
settled it Bam never took water. This
wu true in a double sense. Well, he
climbed the cross-bar of tbe corral-gate,
and asked the other bays to turn out
their best steer, Marquis of Qjeensberry

As tbe steer passed out Sam slid down
and wrapped those parenthetical legs nf

brute, and he rode him till tie fleet-footed
animal fell down on the buffalo grass, ran
hla Hot red tongue out across the blue hor-

over twenty years, it wan (or a time tbe
most Interesting and exciting experience I
ever had."
"How wu that?” said the railroad ed
itor.
"Well, yon eee, though that Bntler
branch is in good condition now, it wasn't
a couple of years ago, and we used to
have more fan than yon could shske a

could be trained before, Tbe road wasn't
ballasted when they first pat trains on,
and I’ve known the cars to lop over so
that the wheels would only touch nne side
ot the track for a mile at a time. We ran
a sleeper on the passenger train for h few
days when tbe road was first opened, but
passengers would (all out of their bcr'hs

an old maid fell out and the cars were
tilted overso at the time that she shot
right across tbe aisle ln'0 the tame berth
with ■ Chicago drummer. Yon ought to
have heard her squeal. Of course that
wouldn’t do; it made too many acsndals
on tbe tram, and so they finally took tha
sleepers off alto ether.

MITCHELL MAKES A “KICK.”
He Says the Referee Was Prejudiced
Against Him.
New York Star.
Thera wu great excitement yesterday
amonReporting men over tbe unexpected
result of the sparring match between
Vilieh II and McC.ff ey. The backert of
the E-tglish champion were highly indig
nant at tbe decision that their man lisd
lost Tbe reeult wee the more aggravating
■nd even paralysing from the fact that the
knowing ones bed b’eu laying odds of
three to one on the losing man.
t.'uurley Mitchell wu surrounded bv the
usual nomlring crowds at Madden's sa
loon yesterday morning. Thaeinly sign he
bore of lbs encounter was a needy plas
tered scratch over his left eye. Madden
whs warm in bis indignation over tbe re
sult. Tn« r. porters had no difficulty in
netting at his opinions.
"It was a blasted outrage," said be.
"McCaffrey lick Charley? Why he can't
* hip one Hide nf him. Money talks, and
I've got 15,000 to bet on Mitchell for a new
ma'cn."
' ’ riten you don't think last night's match
was stra ght? ’
i don’t. It was put up a.-alnst Charley
to give ibe fight egt lift him."
Mitchell stood near by, and the reporier
turned to him.
"Wtiatdoyouthinkof McCaffrey?” he
inquired.
ihe British champion sneered. “What
do [ think of him?" said he. “(don't calt
him a tighter at all. He isn't one-tenth
die man tqat Sullivan is. In two rounds
mote I would have had him completely st
mv merer. The referee uecided against
me, though, and what could I do after
dia’?”
“Do vou think etill that you can whip
McCaffrey?"
Mitchell looked Intense and speechless
disgust at this question. Billy Madden
chipped in and took up the word for 1dm:
"Does he think what?" said he. "I
think it, and I'll match Charley to fight
him right rounds at one day's notice for
31,000 a side and the gate receipts. More,
I'tl match Charley to tight him with bare
knuckle*, and have oniy four men on a
side to witness it."
“How do you make it out that the
referee was wrong?"
Whv the raa'ch was clearly a draw,
I it should have been so decided "
Madden was intensely di-guslcd, and
went on at length with much more ts k
' tbe same sort, in which he was backed
. by the bystanders all of whom were
firm admirers of Mitchell.

Timez-Dcmocrat.
The world of to day is moving and ad
vancing in all directions of thonght, In
genuity and invention. From the discov
ery of the mysterious power* of steam to
tbe wonderful possibilities of the subtle
electric fluid u used by recent inventors,
the science of mechanics has sped onward
with amazing results. The mind and
thoughts of genius are ever at work for
still further accomplishments, and seem
to be constantly occupied in devising some
means by which to navigate tbe air and
ucend into the unknown regions that lie
(ar oil In tbe fields nf space. Who knows
but what tbe secret of tbe stars that make
tbe nights so beautiful mav yet be de
veloped and the war systems of the
world revolutionized. Once overcome the
difliculiy of going up and the coming down
Is simply a question of detire. Air-sailing
vessels as navigable in thc ether as the
present style are In the water, loaded with
exploeive and combustible materials that
can be burled upon the enemy, will cause
widespread terror and destruction. Then
rig these formidable war machines with
long, sharp-pointed steel rams, so they can
come down with tbe rapidity of an eagle
upon the men-of-war of the opposing
forces, driving tbelr Instruments of demo
lition through their decks or into thclr
sides, then quickly pulling out and taking
flight like some wlla mountain bird, leav
ing thc object attacked to sink with all on
board, Tbe possibilities are terrible to
contemplate.
Latterly two French scientists, Messrs.
Renard end Krebs, have constructed ■
machine to be directed by currents of air.
Now comes ayounggentlemqnof this city,
Mr. G. O, Gonzalta, 124 Ursolines street,
with theories, ideseand plans of an aerial
ship. Tbe body of tbe btiloon ts 60x20
feet, and will have a capacity of 11800 cu
bic feet ol gas. It is pisiform in shape,
having running through it a pipe frame
•nd containing a sufficient quantity ol gas
to counterbalance the weight ol the ma
chine.
The basket will be skiffshaped and con
nected with tbe balloon by four fixed bzrs
for the purpose of holding the whole sol
idly together. The motive power is to be
e five-horsepower engine making 300 revo-
I tions a minute and weighing only 200
pounds. Fifty pounds of fuel and eigbty-
four pounds of water, Mr. Gonzzles says,
will run an ordinary-sized machine for
three hours. There ate two propellers, one
in front and one behind, placed on either
eutl of ■ eb ift running midway bet:
tbe balloon and tho boat
The back propeller drives the machine
ahead, assisted by tbe pulling a-’lion of tbe
one in front, thus obtaining a speei of
twenty five miles an hoar. When once the
gas pipe is filled it requires no renewal or
replenishment, only m case of an acciden
tal escape. If this happens while the
vessel is on high tbe engineer merely at
taches a steam pipe to the gas pipe, thus
heating the gas contained the ‘

Directly underneath the basket is another

vessel iu e straight line to any desired
height or bring It down In the emme man

machine Is only 1.069 pounds.
Tbe Renerd-Krebs vessel has but one

Gonsvea has, as yet, constructed no mod-

cording to hit plana will prove an astound

During the campaign ol tbe Pint Regi

siderable diffi 'ulty In preventing tbe men

One particularly enltry evening, while

The white missionaries among tho
Fljis have succeeded in introducing some
very peculiar usee of civilization among
tbe natives. They have taken to cricket
and play with great energy. The rival
clubs challenge each other and tbe games
are desperately contested. Each game is
opened and closed with prayer, and tbeir
challenges are imbued with a religions
spirit always ending "with great love,

The two-tailed rat has again made
