land. 1t is estimated that deeds to over
100000 acres Of land have been disposed Of.
The land was operated upon and owned by
residents, and as the records were
mostly destroyed during the war, the ring
had every facility to carry out the enormous
swindle. Deeds have been sold all over the
United States and England. The Grand
Jury of Shannon county have indicted DR..
Thomas X. Hartman, Davis s. Bingham and
James L. Lawton for completely in the fraud.
Lawton seems to have been the leader of the

ADJUSTMENTS

ACADEMY OF Music. Ever since the en-.
gagement of that eminent tragedian, Mr..
Barry Sullivan, the Academy OF Music has
been favored with the most select audiences
from the very elite of our city. That gentle
mans abilities and name have served to draw
to him the most cultivated and critical
houses, yet his mastery portrayers have more
than met their Unsuitable demands. Last
night We were again treated to another of his
characters, and one which taxes even old stu
dents of Shakespeare.
The Shylock of our Imagination, the
greedy, Unsuitable usurer, was not rendered
as most would have it. Mr.. Sullivan threw
about the part q naturalness and ease not be-.
longing to the time-honored money changer,
and his rendition was therefore all the more
perfect. The support shows remarkable
change under Mr.. Sullivan's teaching and
last night they were more than ordinarily
good.
To-day noon, the matinee will doubtless
call out host of ladies and children, as the
weather now is most enjoyable and inviting.

WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-THE present dis
tinctive point at issue between the United
States and Spain is stated in non-official but
usually we'll informed circles as follows: The
United States ask
l. That in future all American citizens in
Cuba accused of violation OF law shall be
tried by the civil courts and not by military
tribunals, with all the rights in such cases as
are secured by the seventh article of the treaty
of 1895; and
2. That all sentences where American citl-
zens have heretofore been tried by military
tribunals shall be annulled. Spain in some
degree comedies the claim of the United
States to the first proposition, agreeing that
in future American citizens accused of viola
ton Of law shall be tried by the ordinary
tribunals, with the right to be heard by
counsel, to summon witnesses and
to employ all other necessary safe
guards, but with the reservation that all
such trials shall be according to the law Of
1921, which provides for more expeditions
proceedings than those Of the civil courts for
common crimes in time of peace. She also
offers to revise all sentences by the courts
martial on American citizens where it shall be
satisfactorily shown that such sentences were
in violation of established law

spirited but unsuccessful effort was here
made to reconsider the rule under which the

new rule placing all candidates not finally
dropped in nomination, and dropping the
lowest on each succeeding ballot until choice

M. tomorrow, the new rule being Withdrawn.
Eleven eligible candidates still remain, to-wit:
Goode, Daniel, Johnston, Tucker, Smith,
Stuart, Robertson, Cochrane, Coghill, Chris

The seven first named are only entitled to
one denomination. The friends of G,ode,
Daniel and Johnston. who are conceded to be
the strongest candidates, are backward in
putting their man up for fear of ordinations
which, defeating either one, will throw him
out entirely. Hence, the adoption Of new
rule similar to the one above mentioned is
probable.

The QUEEN OF THE KITCHEN A Collection
of sold Maryland" Family receipts for
Cooking. L B. Peterson g. Bros, Phila-
delphia. r. G. Eyrich, New Orleans
"The Queen of the Kitchen 3" has been
carefully compiled from several old family re-
ceipt books which are regarded as heir-looms:
many of them being nearly century old.
The volume contains many different styles of
cookery, which is, in itself, recommends
ton; for, as every cooks knows, the great art
OF cooking is to combine variety with simpli-
city; and that it is chiefly in the manner of
preparingffood that makes it palatable. .The
Queen OF the Kitchen is not now presented
as a stranger, for she obtained immense pop
ularlty upon her first introduction to the pub
lie, with few receipts in small volume
and made so many friends, and met with so
cordial reception, that at the earnest solicit
tation of many who are in need of good
practical receipt book the author determined
to publish new, enlarged, and complete
edition of "The Queen of the kitchen. "
She has made an addition of several hundred
receipts to the volume as originally issued
and IS certain that all who will give it fair
trial, will acknowledge that it excels all other
COOK books in practical cookery. 1t will also
2e found to be equally as we'll adapted to the
wants OF the young as to those of the expe-
rienced housekeeper. We have no hesitation |
N commencing it to all as being the best book
of its kind extant.
