INDIANS ENC1rEp.


The Chcrokees Opposed to Congress
sionaI Intervention.
New ORLEANS, Jan. 1.-The Times-D Dem
ocrat's Indian territory special says The
Cherokee Indians are excited over meas
ures introduced into Congress looking to
the opening of the Indian country to white
settlement and the allotment Of lands In
severalty among Indians. Public sentiment
is opposed to congressional interven-
tion generally, although there are
many Cherokees who believe II best TO ac-
cept the situation rather than struggle
against the inevitable. just before ad-
iournment the Cherokee national council
adopted resolutions expressive OF public
opinion on the subject. These resolutions
declare that the Cherokees hold possession
of their land by fee simple and cannot be
deprived Of the same except by the volun-
taIy consent Of the law-making au-
that portion Of the Cherokee lands lying
west Of the sixty-eighth meridian and which
have not been conveyed by patent from
Cherokees are still the property of the ma
tion. The United States has not now aud
never had any right to appraise, take, or
purchase any unoccupied portion Of these
lands save with the consent Of the Chero-
kee people.
The final resolution says the Cherokee
nation does not authorize the sale of any
Of It's lands for purposes Of white
settlement, or for any other purpose, pend
ing the congressional measures, which also
affect the Creeks and Seminoles. 1t Is
claimed, however, that the latter tribes are
willing to sell portion Of their lands for
white settlement and allow the country 10
he opened up, but the hostility of the Cher
okees is likely to unite all their tribes in
active opposition.

Are Girls or rholr Mother. to blame ?

Are Girls or Their Mothers to Blame ?
Very appropriately did the lady quote
Saxe's ridiculous extract
Love is to man thing apart,
IT'S wOman's whole existence.
In her discourse on "The Kissing Habitn
] agree with her in much she said, but
when she spoke of the romantic ideas that
absorb the minds OF so many Hsilly" girls why
did she not go back and discover the origin
Of all this needless slliness9 doubt not
that q vast majority Of girls give their first,
best thoughts to idle dreams Of matrimony.
They care for nothing but reaching the Gov
eted goal, and in so doing Improvement,
elevation, and digpifed womanhood are for
gotten. Long ere they are qualified for the
cares Of married life they willingly take the
responsibilities upon them providing any
one aspircs for their hand, and when the
marriage VOWS are spoken the heart Is rid of
an immense burden-the object OF life is at
tanned.
No girl under 90 has any business TO think
Of marriage. III she finds disposition in
one Of the opposite sex responding with her
own, let her admire and enjoy II, but not to
such an extent that the heart is ablaze with
love and the mind wilderness of air castles.
But for the origin OF all this Is 1t some
defect in the girls disposition? Would you
not sooner believeit defect In the mothers
Imagination and training of her childY II
seems TO me IL would be more appropriate
to prefix "silly" to mothers, instead Of to
girls, in this connection. The greatest am
bitlon Of many mothers is to have their
daughters carly married, thus Kidding them
selves of the dreaded evil OF raising an "old
maid,n Many persons are superstitious
enough to think a girl is nowhere II she
isn't married by the time she Is 23 or "a.

blem of all that is disagreeablo, no

II would appear from the following story
sent us by q Birmingham correspondent
that PeepiDg Tom has migrated from Co
ventry TO Birmingham: ga remarkable rev.
elation has come to light regarding Mrs
Langtry's recent visit TO the Prince of Wales
Theater, Birmingham. On the last night of
her engagement she noticed q mans face
against the glass of little window OF the
ventilator In the dressing room. An alarm
was raised, and 1t was found that an assist
ant In an adjoining shop had made plat
form connecting the back premises with
the roof Of the theater and that he had by
this way obtained access 10 the window.
Mrs. Langtry's maid, who was with her In
the dressing room, declared that she had
seen something like mans face at the
window ON two or three occasions.
The eulprit, although not discovered at the
time, was unable to deny the evidence
against him and has been dismissed by his
master,p

A Tale of Two cities.


Our esteemed contemporary, the Chicago
Tribune, has Of late branched out very ex-
tensiyely In verse, and one Of its latest eff
fusions, we are sorry to say, is a merciless
attack upon the young ladies Of st. Louis.
That big Missouri town, II should be under
stood, is In some sense rival Of Chicago,
and the Journalists OF the two cities employ
their wit In attacking each other, a fayorte
point with them being the rldicule of young
ladies' feet A genius of Chicago will aver
that the young women Of st. Louis possess
enormous feet; and genius Of st. Louis
retorts with the same assertion about the
young women of Chicago. The Tribune
performs this exploit In the following ex-
travagant style T-...
'The st. Louis girl hung up her stocking
With Its swell from Ih the Toe to the clockins
She is loved by her kind, for all maidcns fare
sweet
And how can maiden be blamed Tor her
And gins in abundance they showered on
her;
They put in a cloak of the costl lest fur,
a bookcase, a corset Of latest device,
Roller skates for the rink and of steel for the

This, we submit, is carrying the Joke
very far. AS a matter Of fact the ST. Louis
