The House then went into COM

visions of the bill. He said there

the one requiring each indian sgen5
to submit a. annual census OF In

ton would prove of great value tc
future appropriation com mittees in
making provisions for schools and
school houses. He believed the L.
dams should be given a standing In
the courts 80 that they could en-
force the performance OF contracts,
and that in the course of time they
should be raised to the dignity OF
citizenship. The Indians at present
did not feel any interest in the gov

It, after an hundred years of dis
honor which had characterized it's
action toward them.

FOR WEARING THE GREEN.

Miss Sarah DOOley Walks Proudly Out
of a Paterson Mill on st. Patrick
Day.
There was much excitement among the
Irish residents of Paterson on Wednesday,
says the New York San of the 10Th inst,
by the publication of the fact that one of
the girls employed in the Barbour flax
mill had been discharged for wearing a
green ribbon in her hair on st. Patrick's
Day. The story created the more surprise
because the Barbour Brothers are Irish
men, and one of them, Thomas, is men,
Der Of the Friendly Sons of st. Patrick.
On the morning Of st. Patrick's Day a
number Of the girls engaged in the de-
partment under the management of Fore
man John Walker, wore green ribbons in
their hair. Mr.. Walker ordered them to
remove the ribbons. Some complied, but
others refused. Then Mr.. W alker told
them that all who failed to remove the
ribbons would be discharged. AB COM
piled with the order under this threat ex-
cept Miss Sarah DOOley. She said if she
couldn't wear Irelands green ribbon in
the mill she would 60 where she could
wear it. Mr.. Walker then discharged
her. Three others, Miss Maggie Butler,
Miss Mary McKeOwn, and Miss Nora
Mention, were so indignant that they re-
uJu5ltA AnC SltCAi A4DbOno III butlI NAN
and walked proudly out of the mill by her
side.
Miss McKeOwn and Miss Butler return
ed to work on the following day, but Miss
Mention remains out yet, and says she
will not 20 back until Miss DOoley is re-
instated.
Mr.. Walker says that he discharged
Miss DOOley for refusing to obey his or
der. He did not care anything about the
ribbon, but he wanted to be Obeyed when
he gave an order. The reason he ordered
the ribbons to be taken off was that the
wearing of some orange ribbons on a for
mer occasion had made trouble among
the girls, and as there were lots of Eng
lish girls in the mill, he was afraid there
would be trouble over the wearing of the
green.
Superintendent Sutherland says he APP
proved of the discharge of Miss Dooley,
because Mr.. Walker reported that it was
for creating a disturbance. Had he
known that a simple green ribbon was at
the bottom of it he would not have ap-
proved of it. He says Mr.. Walker made
a mistake in discharging the girl.

The Thin Man on Marriage.

The thin man without the shirt-cOllar
was evidently perturbed in spirit. He
elevated his chin, and scratched it with
a match; then worked the match for a
time in his ear and stared hard at the man
with the cold-tea scheme.
"Divorce is queer subject" at last he
said, rehectively.
$50 it is" said the cold-tea man. scot

''I'm not speaking for myself replied
the other, with native dignity mixed with
tobacco juice.
"Oh! Sort Of feeling for your fellow
being?"
Without deigning reply, the conarless
"A queer subject. A queer subject, sir.
If people can't live happily together, what
do they marry for"'
Il chip" said the cold-tea man.
Il tell you what causes most of this
divorce business. It's the bOssy nature of
women. There's lots Of women in the
world whose whole duty in life appears to
consist in nagging their husbands. They
seem to think a marriage license is a per-
nit to poster the life out of a man. They
don't wait for causes for complaint, but
get up imaginative ones and enjoy tnem-
selves with them. They seem to know
t !, Y have a man 70 !. If he has children
of course he does not want to leave them,
and II not, they know ne cannot help NM
self, for if he fees their torture he has to
give up friends, position, and all else, and
go bury himself in some strange cOmmu-
nifty. You'd naturally think that a woman
having got a man in this awful position
of helplessness, she'd have some mercy on
him. But if she belongs to the complain
ing kind she won't. Not bit of it. She'll
jump on the poor fellow with both feet and
grind her heels into him. There's only one
cure"

deeply interested.
"a man should bed man and assert him.

phasis. mature has created him the
superior of woman, and he should not al
low her to assume a government over
him. She is his inferior and dependent on
him, and if necessary for happiness he
should make her underestimate. How men
can be so chicken-hearted as to allow wo-
men to crush their independence l do not,
for the life Of me, understand"
At this moment the front door opened,
and from behind the barricade of boxes
came a shrill. feminine voice, asking:
"Is Mr.. Jarfiy here? l want him, this
mint Jarfly, you good for nothing"
''Great Caesar! / came near forgetting
a very 'pOrtant 'gagement?,' hastily ex-
claimed the thin man, as he made bolt
out the rear door.

Their return gave rise to civil connections
in which Sheriff Lanier Of ScullyFille
county lost his life.
These troubles, however, gradually died
away, and the Choctaw Government by
mild policy and by modifying the rigor OF
their permit laws, restored a degree OF
peace to the country. The opposition to
the law is not so strong as formerly, and
the price of permits has been greatly re-
duced. Discussions still exist, but On the
whole the comparative calmnASs Of the
times promises peace for the future. 1t
now only remains for US to see what part
the negroes play in the affairs Of this
nation.
After they were freed, the United States
offered the ChOctaws a subsidy of $500. 900
if they would make citizens of them. Civ
ing them equal rights. The ChOctaws
made no immediate answer, for. in truth.
II put them in sad quandary. Though
they loved well the good money OF Uncle
sam, yet they hated the negroes almost
worse than death; and to raise them to an
equality with themselves in law, if not
socially, was extremely repugnant to
them. For years they worked to get the
money without positively making citizens
OF the negroes. They passed laws giving
70 the negro forty acres of land, and they
allowed him to raise all the cattle and
/ stock he could Many began making
places OF tdeir own at once, but this failed
TO satisfy the United States. 1t was re-
solved that the ChOctaw negroes should
( have an equal chance with their former
owners. It reminded the Choctaws that
they had sufficiently considered the mat
ter and they must make up their minds at
once. Accordingly, after a delay of fl
en- years, tie ChOctaws settled the ques-
ton in their council for 1888 by making
citizens Of the ChOctaw negroes. but re-
stricting them from voting or holding Of
ice. This, for various reasons, does not
seem to have satisfied the negroes, nor
does 1t seem to have satisfied the govern
ment, for we hear Of talk in Washington
OF cutting off a large and valuable strip
Of the eastern portion Of the nation to
give to the negroes. Whether this will
be done or not no one here knows.
another class here are the State ne
grOes, so called in cOntradistinctiOn to
those who We're former slaves to Choc-
taWs. Being citizens of the United States,
they have no claims whatever upon the
Choctaws. AS a class they are far more
lazy and shiftless than the others. and are
a NUISANCE to the country.
such are the various classes into which
the people Of this nation are divided, and
such the condition Of affairs at the pres
sent time.

WAS SHE HIS WIFE?
The Death of a Wealthy Jerseyman Ex-
poses "a Family Skeleton.

The Death of a Wealthy Jerseyman Ex-
poses a Family skeleton.
The Traphagan family, of Jersey City,
says the New York World of the 18th
inst, is among the Oldest and most wide
ly known il the city. It's members are
wealthy, and one of them now living was
once Mayor. Some years ago Cornelius
Traphagan died, leaving a valuable estate
to his two sons, Cornelius n. and Henry
Traphagan, and his daughter, Mrs. Ann
P. billiard.
Cornelius, after fixing up the estate,
removed to New York and took up bis
residence with a young woman at No.
1913 West Twenty-ninth street. She is de-
scribed as being about 80 years of age, of
medium height, with brown eyes and
fair complexion. The cOurle have been
living together at the place indicated for
the past few years. The doOr-plate bore
the name Brown" and in the neighbor-
hood the young woman was known as
Miss Minnie Brown. On numerous Oc-
casiOns, however, it is said she had been
introduced by Mr.. Traphagan as his wife,
and on various hotel registers the two had
been recorded as man and wife.
Mr.. Traphagan's conduct in this respect
mad eStrangeQ MN from MS IdmllF, ana
such was the feeling manifested that dur
ing his recent fatal illness his sister de-
clined to visit him. On February 26 Mr..
Traphagan died Of consumption On the
following day cayeat was filed by eX-
Mayor Traphagan in the Surrogate's o.
fee prohibiting the probating of any paper
purpOrting to be the Will of the deceased,
though none had been offered.
The funeral of the deceased took place
on saturday, March 1, but Mrs. billiard
and other relatives declined to attend it,
and Miss Brown, or Mrs. Traphagan,
wearing the deepest of widows weeds,
was present as chief mOurner. The Rev.
DR.. Parmley, of Jersey City, conducted
the services.
MIR. Traphagan owned real estate worth
about 100000, and great anxiety was
manifested to know to whom the property
had been willed. About week after the
funeral Miss Brown, accompanied by eX-
Senator Paxton, her counsel; eX-Mayor
Traphagan, representing Henry Trapha-
gan, brother of deceased, and Mrs. Hill
lizard, met in Jersey City, and, it is said,
adjusted the matter to prevent the case be-
ing made public in the courts. Efforts to as
certain the exact sum paid Miss Brown for
relinqdishing all CLAIMS against the es-
tate were not successful, all the par
ties to the transaction being pledged to Sc
cresy, but it is generally understood that
she received $4,000. The receipts for the
money were, it is said, signed in the name
of "Minnie Brown"
