ON THE WAR PATH.

ST. LOUIS, Dec ga Muskogee, In
dian Territory. special says: The first
open hostilities of the Greek Indian war
occurred on Sunday. fifteen miles west of
Akmulkee. A band of Checotes men, un
der Jim Lorney, were going west when
about z O'Clock in the evening they were
attacked by some two hundred of Spiech-
e.'s paSisans, under command of Meka
roel,ec. The fight ragged for an hour, when
the Checotes men fell back but kept up a
running fight for sixteen miles Bob Carr.
Dave Barrett and wife. and a man named
Walsh are reported killed. The loss on
the other side is not known. The whole
country is rushing to arms. On receipt of
the news here a detachment of forty Uni.
ted States soldiers were ordered to the
scene, and this morning they overlook and
disarmed $50 of Checote's men. This will
be continued until all the men engaged on
both sides are disarmed. SPEECHES. men

their rights, and are anxious that the

coarse talk and fun making INDUCED in by
those who wished to be hired for the occa-
sion These persons, he remarked, were
to represent the most sacred scenes known
to the world Such thing. should not be
tolerated.
Mr. Morse replied that the report was
untruthful and that the reporter had de =
picted the crowd from his Imagination.
DR.. Crosby, speaking of the proposed
dancing, said that he did not believe there
was ever any such dancing given by the
nuns as had been spoken of by Mr.. Morse.
He had travelled in both the east and west
and had never before heard of such AN ex
hibition by nuns. Mr. Morse said that he
had himself witnessed such dance
Mr.. Robinson. who represented the
society for the Reformation of Juvenile
Delinquents, made strong protest against
the production of the play. who" he
said Christian or not, would want to see
a mock representation on the public stage,
before mixed audience, of the personal
indignities inflicted on Christ. His scourg-
ing, crucifixion and similar scenes? Such
production might, perhaps, do no hahn
before an audience of Christians but it
crowd who paid so much each to see it.
Mr.. Elbridge T. Gerry, president of the
society for the prevention of cruelty to
children, said it was proposed to place a
number of small children on the stage in
groups. This was against the law. The chill
dren would become demoralized by taking
part in such play. Mr.. Morse replied
that it was true that children were to be
seen in the play, but they would be dummy
children; that is, children made of paper.
Mr.. Gerry then argued on general princi-
Piles against the play. saying that it would
tend to bring the Christian religion into
disrepute.

such an array of well-known citizens and
lawyers and ask for further hearing, when
he could appear by counsel Mayor Grace

Meerschaum.
{ London Times. }

The place most productive of this min
eral is known to be near the town of
Eski-scheir in Anitolia, Asia Minor A
recent account Of Herr Adder states that
the preparation of 100 boxes of meerschaum
there takes twelve to fifteen persons two
months and costs about E100. In Eski-
scheir the average price OF the box of
mercantile ware has varied since 1878
between about GS to e10 Qast year it was
about the former). Refuse ware can be
had at about an eighth of the price.
There are ten qualities, and each is to be
had in four sizes, there being twenty five
to forty pieces of the first size per box,
and $50 to / 500 pieces of the fourth (the
box is thirty inches long, eight inches
broad and fifteen and one-half inches
Deep In the last two decades the export
70 meerschaum has considerably increased;
from 8, 900 boxes in 1856 it has risen to
II, 100 in 1881. In Constantinople the
trade is managed by about fifteen firms
Austrian. Bulgarian, Greek, Armenian and
Turkish, who bring their wares into vi
emma market The large Importation into
Vienna may be said to date from between
1860 and 1860, when the production of
pipe bowls and cigar-tips was greatly in
creased for export to England, France
and North America; in 1860 considerable
export of pipes to San Francisco was first
developed, while large quantities of cigar
tips were sent to America and Australia
via Hamburg Since then the conditions
of the trade have altered much, chiefly in
consequence of the high duties imposed in
America. III that country arose, with the
aid of emigrant turner's from Austria, a
home industry, which has successfully
competed with the Vienna pipe manufac-
ture for the products of which America
was previously the best customer. With
France and Germany, the United States
obtain the raw product mainly from Austria.

A BoDY-sNArcHINa ADVENTURE.

you can bet that grave robbing is moth
ing new even among students in this city,
said young physician yesterday in con-
versation with a Philadelphia Press re-
porter. 81 graduated in this city. and If
you would like to hear it | can tell you a
very amusing adventure of couple of my
fellow students. OF course / cannot men
ton any names, but can assure you that
the story is strictly true. A body snatch
ing expedition in those days was regarded
as big blow out but only the holder
and more reckless spirits would
take part in it. One night a cou
pie of my chums started off for
"a stiff Gas they used to call corpse in the
dissecting room) and selected an out-of-
town cemetery as the scene of their opera
tons. 1t was II o'clock when they secured
the body, and as cold and cherries night
as you ever saw They wrapped the corpse
up in an overcoat, and, to avert suspicion,
propped him up on the seat of their open
wagon, so he looked as if he were one of
the company. Then they drove into town.
AS | said, it was stingingly cold night,
and as soon as they reached tavern they
resolved to enter it to arm up, both out
wardly and inwardly. They left the wagon
standing on the road, with the propped up
body in the center of the seat.
An inkling of their GRAND had been OBJ
tanned by others of their class, and when
they pulled up at the tavern several of the
students were on hand, but did not show
themselves. The grave robbers warmed
after a while, and returned to their wagon.
But in the meantime the other students
had removed the corpse from the wagon,
and substituted in its stead one of their
own number This the robbers had no
suspicion of. and taking their seats, one on
each side of the corpse, they drove off. In
the jolting of the wagon it happened that
the hand of one of the students came in
contact with that of the corpse BY Jovel
Smith, it's warmr he exclaimed. Non
sense, said Smith, and then he touched
what should have been cold and clammy
hand. My Godf he exclaimed so it isl
" Yes. CALCULATED the corpse, if you'd

the order of their going, but went at

AMERICAN GIRLS.

This is what a German paper says
about American girls: The noticeable
characteristic of the American girl is fick-
leness, not only in love affairs, but in her
studies, A young lady of culture is paint
er, sculptures, poetess and musician. To
be able to use the brush does not satisfy
her. No; she must initiate certain style;
and it is the same with the other arts.
She is in the most cases ruled by fashion
seldom by conviction. 1t sometimes hap
pens that a young lady asks painter or
musician: 'fCan you teach me Bembrandt's
or LISTS touch in six months-and what
will you charge for it?' The little lady
is so accustomed to having her own way
that she considers such thing quite pos
sible.
OF medium height, extremely delicate
and graceful most too fragile to suit us;
fine, small head, aristocratically posed;
almondshaped eyes of deep blue, auburn
hair, full cut mouth, and small feet her
exterior is the prototype of a lady; and
they are all alike, the millionairess of Fifth
avenue and the downtown shop girl.
In conversation her face sometimes grows
roguish and frequently animated, but
never expresses depth or feeling or pass
ion. In all cases and classes the Ameri-
can women excel the men in education
even if the greater part of their knowl
edge is acquired by reading papers, jour
nails, and such books with which America
is overrun, and which are read by the rich
and poor WITH the same eagerness. OF
the amount of printed paper nation is
capable of devouring one can judge best
in America. The women are also more
cultured than the men. because an Ameri-
can man is a through and through bust
ness man, and his highest ain is to earn
sufficient to keep his family genteelly
Nevertheless, in spite of all its draw
backs, to be born free American citizen
is a bit of fortune which many envy.
Americans, on the whole, have an enor
nous respect for women. That alone says
d great deal; and, further, the American
girl is through and through knowing.
She can seldom be fooled. IF a couple
love each other there is nothing to pre-
vent the marriage, even if serious hinder
ances arise, which the parties see will in
the future cause unhappineess. because
they knew they can be easily separated.
