STATEHOOD AGAIN.
BILL PREPARED IN THE
INTEREST OF SOUTH DAKOTA.
Judge Moody Submits a Plan for the
Speedy Admission of North
and South Dakota as
New States.

WASHINGTON, January 9.-Judge Gran
vile G. Moody of Deadwood, who is one
of the senators for the state of Dakota,
and who has been in the city with his wife
several days. has framed bill for the div
ision of Dakota and its admission to state
hood which will in all probability be re-
ported from the senate committee ON ter
ritories as substitute for the Harrison
bill which was reintroduced few Gays
ago by senator Manderson of Nebraska.
The bill drawn by judge Moody is in
many respects similar to the one intro
duced by Mr.. Manderson and known as
the Harrison bill, but it contains some
very important new features. 1t divides
the territory on an east and west line at
about the same point that the Harrison
bill does, and names the southern half
South Dakota and gives the name of Da-
kota to the northern half, which will over
come the objection raised by the people
in the northern part OF the territory to
losing the original name of their country,
and the substitution of Pembina, Lincoln,
OF anything else.
Judge Moody's bill refers to the people
of Dakota as a whole, the question OF eli
vision and admission as a state, and fixes
the election for the determining OF the
question couple of months ahead of the
next presidential election, so as to admit
of the voters participating as voters of
states in the presidential election next
fall; but it is understood that the latter
provision will be waived if it is insisted
upon by the democrats in either branch
of congress. The people Of Dakota do
not propose to let politics interfere with
their chances for statehood. The bill pro-
vides for statehood without further action
by congress, it grants statehood absolute
ly and definitely, not as representative
Springer proposed, tying string to the
matter by way of an enabling act, so tha,
Dakota, after the question has been ami
cably settled according to provision OF
congress, will have to come back here te
give congress an opportunity to ruin ev
erything if partisan politics suggests it.
In a talk with judge Moody, who is one
of the brightest lawyers and ablest minds
| generally in the northwest, he said today
| that in his opinion the bill would pass the
senate without the drawing of strict par
ty lines. In other words he believed tha
there were at least two or three democrat
| besides senator Voorhees, who would sup
port the measure in the upper branch O
| congress.

PIERRE, Dakota, January S.-The leap
year hop took place at the Wells house,
given by the ladies of Pierre, was the
greatest social event of the season. Over
seventy couples were in attendance.
Music was furnished by the Pierre
orchestra, an elegant supper was served,
and all expenses were assumed by the
ladies. The gentlemen were obliged to
wait for invitations, and had an excellent
chance to judge who were the most pop
ular with the fair ones. Several old
crusts were left entirely in the ccld,
much to their own chagrin, and to the
amusement of the lucky ones.

Festival of the aGlutton Mass."

It is fortunate that some rules in rela-
tion to repletion are no longer observed
One which was noticed among the Hurons
and Canadian AlgonlSins by the early
French missionaries. and styled lie festin
a manger tout, consisted in the religious
obligation, sometimes attended with loss
of life, of the COMMITMENTS to eat up
every particle which was set before them
festival, somewhat of the same nature,
was called the ''glutton mass, celebrated
IN England during if not after, the reign
of Henry ~. A less dangerous, because
regulated, term of repletion was prevs-
lent in India, according to Brahman ira
dition, in which the invitees, before COM
mencing the carouse, bound themselves
around the abdomen with a band of
straw; and their modified feat was, not to
eat indefinitely until all had been de-
voured, but only until the straw bands
should burst There is no survival of
this custom except in the exaggerated
hospitality, generally rustic, in which the
host persists in petitions that the guests
should continue to eat, without reference
to their apparent wishes. Modern eti-
quette shows marked Improvement in
