A STRANGE CASE OF ABDUo-
TION

Little Ernie Emory, a winning
and extremely interesting girl Of
seven years, while out for a stroll
on fifth avenue, last Wednesday
morning, with a female relative,
suddenly and strangely disappear
ed from sight. At least, this is
the story told by her cousin, the
relative above referred to. Instead
If at once reporting the fact to the
child's grown sister, Grace Emory,
or to her guardian, the cousin
seemed 10 treat the affair with in
difference, and only casually refer
red to the disappearance Of the child
about an hour after her return
home.
The CONSERVATION Of Grace
Emory, lady well known in the
best society Of New York, may be
imagined on learning that her be-
loved sister has not been seen for
some hours. The most intense ex-
citement prevailed in the alarmed
household, and in less then fifteen
minutes after receiving the startling
intelligence, Grace Emory herself
was at police headquarters, inyok-
ing detective aid in the search for
her lost sister.
Detectives were at once put up
on the case; and one of them, on
visiting the Emory mansion, TO
make inquiries which he deemed
essential tO'give him a trustworthy
clew, learned that Grace Emory
had as mysteriously disappeared as
her little sister. This was a start
ling surprise, and the detective was
amazed and perplexed. With the
aid Of a bright young reporter, he
took up the trail in quest Of the
missing girl, both Of whom he soon
learned were prospective heiresses
to a vast property. How the de-
succeeded in unraveling this re-
markable case Of abduction is fully
detailed in the stirring story Of

LITERARY NOTES


Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly
for February is all that its patrons
can desire. The articles vary in
character and treatment, are all
timely and all well illustrated.
Mr.. Croffut's article on the late w.
II. Vanderbilt gives a striking pic
ture of the career of the great mil
lionairo. Mrs. Lew Wallace, the
wife of our diplomatist, contributes
a romance, "a Fair Clients Story. 4"
Christian Reid gives one of her
striking stories, "a Passing Idyl." !"
"The Home Of the Noted Indian
Chief, Cornplanter," is pleasantly
described and illustrated by Mrs.
Calista Ingersoll Cara. In "The
Story of the Man who Wrote Rob
inson Crusoe," Noel Ruthven takes
us back to England in the days of
De Foe. "Thibet, by G. Lepper,
gives the reader an idea of what
will be England's next annexation.
r. S. Tarr describes the "Past and
Present of a New England Fishing
Town" Frank Norton Irregular
Troops" Stories and poems are
given by a number of other cele-
brated authors. "Telpharage, :"
the last application of electricity is
particularly interesting. The H.
lustrations of this number are all
striking and good.
Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine
evidently understands the taste Of
the more religious portion of the
community. The February num-
ber begins 'Paulina; or the days
of the Apostles: A story Of Rome
in the first century," by the Rev.
Alexander c. Haverstick, which
promises to be deeply interesting.
"Burmah and its Capital, Manda-

EnIToR INDIAN CHIEFrAIN:-The
time is approaching for the voters
Of our little nation to begin to look
around for a suitable man for the |
next chief. There are several men !
spoken Of for the position. Among
those of the National party are w.
p. Ross, Il believe he has worked
himself back into his old ranks)
Rabbit Bunch and one d. w. Bush
yhcad.
1t is rumorod around that Bush
yhead is paving his way for the
next election, but he is not going
to find it an easy going thing this
time, as he has too many dark
clouds hanging over him he cannot
remove. His first administration
did very well, but in his second he
has killed himself by hanging to
Phillips in his frauds upon the
nation.
w. A. Duncan, Jos. f. lhomp-
son and J. B. Mayes are among the
leading men that are spoken of on
the other side.
If the people are anxious for per
capita money they had better yell
"snakesl" about the strip lease
ana get up rumpus about it and
it will pan out all right. If that is
done Bushyhead will break for
Washington in The interest of the
stockmen and give Bunch chance
at the handle of affairs.
What about the called council?
Has Bushyhead got afraid to call
that crowd of men together2 One
called council has been the ruina-
ton of him already and another
will dig his grave.
Persons from Tahlequah say that
the executive Office is costing the
nation $1,000 a day and that the
four clerks sit around and copy old
documents, smoke cigars, praise
old Phillips and fatter Bushyhead.
How is that for high in the line Of
economy
Bushyhead and Phillips told us
at the May session, 1888. that they
succeeded in getting 1925 per acre
for our occupied lands west of 900
ard before the investigating COM
mittee they said they got s1.17
per acre. Now which statement
are we to believe? One of the
commandments has suffered, but
extreme cases require extreme rem
edies.
Why don't the board of educa-
tion furnish our schools with books
better than they do2 The council
has appropriated ample means for
that purpose.
1t has been cold as blazes but it
never gets too cold to read the
CHIEFTAIN. Everybody ought to
subscribe for it as it is the only in
dependent paper in the country
and the only medium through
which a great many Of us can gain
any information concerning our
national affairs. TEcUMsEn.

GEN. CRooR I'M DEMAND,

1t is rather embarrassing TO the
Cherokee legislature 10 discover at
this late hour that its acts have
been nulliied by its own careless
ness. While this result will be a
great measure of relief to sheep
Killing dogs and other beasts Of
prey, il must be a source of hu-
initiation to the noble red man,
that his time has been no more
profitably employed than that Of
his esteemed contemporary, the
pale-faced legislator. Where's
Crook? He might be able TO
straighten this thing out.-Kansas
City Times.
How such a report as the above
has found mention in the papers
Of the states, to no little reflection
upon the intelligence Of the Chero-
kee council, no one who will put
to the trouble to find out
will fail to discover the source.
To be subjected to ridicule by that
which is a creature Of the council
is like putting club into the hands
Of another TO knock you down.

The Democratic Congressional Cam
paign Committee, under the Craftsmanship
of Senator Kenna and with ex-Congresz-
man Phil Thompson as secretary,is already

misses to be fully up to the standard and

of the abuses which have been reformed

In the appointment of JAS C. Matthews,
the colored man from Albany, N. Y, to
the position of recorder of deeds for the
District of Columbia, after his nomination
had been rejected by the Republican Sen
ate, Mr.. Cleveland has not only shown
some Of the qualities of "old Hickory but
has at the same time, it is said, uninten-
tionally made good stroke of policy
New York is q pivotal State, and has =
considerable number of celored voters
Mr. Matthews is a very creditable repre-
sentative of his race in the Empire State
he has been nominated by the President
fer an Office which he is well qualified to
fill and has been rejected by the Republi-
can Senate without cause. Now the Pres
ident in defiance of the Senate, has ap-
pointed Mr.. Matthews to the place. These
facts, when brought to the minds of the
colored voters of that State will do much
to bring recruits from that class to the
Democratic standard in the next Prssiden-
tial campaign. It will also operate in
other parts of the country to demonstrate
the insincerity Of the Republican profes-
sions of friendship to the colored voter.

Mr.. Arthur G. Sedywick. New York
lawyer, has been 'ected by Secretary
Bayard to 90 to Mexico and examine into
the legal bearings Of the Cutting case and
report the present status of affairs TO the
State Department, He does not 90 in any
sense AS Iii plomatic agent or envoy" as
has been claimed by opponents of the ad-
minis ration, and his appointment is not
regarded by the friends Of Mr. Bsyard as
retreat from his original position, but as
a necessary step to more energetic action
should such action be required. The
State Department has experienced great
difficulty in securing full and accurate in
formation from Mexico, and il naturally
wishes, before taking any further action
and particularly in view of the serious
compiics'ions which have arisen, to post
itself as 10 the latest phases of the situa-
ton. Secretary Bayards demand for the
release of Cutting on the ground that he
was charged with as offense committed
in this country was based upon the al
mission of the Mexican Minister Senior
Romero, that his government claimed au-
thority to punish him for publishing a
libel in Texas. So that if any mistake has
been made as to the action of the court in
the case, it has been Mr.. Romero's, and
Mr.. Bayard would be justified in proceed
ing on his statement Of the matter as the
official representative Of Mexico. But in
so grave matter, involving peace or war,
the Secretary naturally feels it incum bent
upon him to get at the exact truth through
his own agencies before proceeding to ex
tremities. As already stated. he does not
propose to submit the matter to arbitra-
tion and viii certainly not consent o the
claim set up by Mexico Of the right to try
our people for offtnses alleged to have
bees committed in this country He has
simply sent Mr.. Sedgwick. who is CONVEX
SAINT with the Spanish language, to collect
the facts at E. Paso del N)rte and other
places, and in the meantime it is said, no
further action in the Cutting matter will
be taken by the government.
Secretary Bayard and the officials of his
department bitterly complain of the treat
ment received from those who wish the
present administration evil. 1t is limited
that several Republicans have rendered
themselves liable to punishment for their
action in the present trouble. A section
of the Revised Statutes forbids any citi-
zen of the United States from holding
communication with foreign country
when engaged in a controversy with this
government for the purpose of influencing
the actions of that country. 1t is known
that Republicans and former officials of
this government arc open to this charge in
the case now commanding the attention
of our diplomats 1t is to be regretted
that men who claim to be Americans can
be guilty of such conduct. Mr.. Bayard
positively declares that he has not in the
slightest degree been iatimldated 10y their
actions, and will conduct the Cutting dis
cussions as he originally intended, and
unless he finds reason to believe that the
case has not been correctly reported to
him, will enforce the release of Cutting.

The monument to Baron De Kslb, sta
tue in bronze of the intrepid soldier, was
unveiled at Annapolis on Monday with
appropriate ceremonies. 1t is doubtful if
the State capital ever witnessed q more
impressive gathering than that which rem
dered tardy justice to the memory Of this
high-minded and gallant man. The au.
thorities of the nation and State were re-
presented in the persons of Secretary Bay
ard and Gov. Lloyd; the Legislature by
Col. J. Thomas Scharf who was also the
orator of the occasion and the author of
the resolution by which the attention of
Congress was directed to long neglected
duty, and thus secured the erection of the
statue the revolutionary soldiers OF Mary
land whom De Kalb was leading when he
received his death wounds, by the State
militia; the Masonic Order, of which he
was a member, by various lodges; and his
fatherland by the German societies.
