GREGORY is TO BLAME,
Commissioner Oberly Shifts the
Responsibility for Depredations
on Indian Lands.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-"After cross
examining Gregory by telegraph says
Indian Commissioner Oberly, 81 ascer-
tanned that he was not preventing the
continued robbery of the Indians of
their pine timber, and my order was
issued as a dernier resort. | do not in
tend to permit such conduct during nv
administration if | can help it," But
Indian Commissioner Oberly is help
less. No commissioner can manage af-
fairs in any part of the Indian country.
unless his agents be of his own making
or according to his own way of
thinking. Gregory is as indie
pendent of Oberly, ordinarily, as
he was of Adkins. Secretary Villas
is receiving all the censure any man
ought to want for retaining Gregory in
charge of the Ashland agency. Mayor
Shaw, of Eau Claire, to-day arrived
here to look after the interests of the
timber depredatorS. He visited the
commissioner and secretary this after
noon. The probability is that Oberly's
order will be suspended and the timber
thieves will be permitted to take their
cuttimber Off of the unaliOtted lands. but
that they cannot take any from the al
lOtted lands save by arrangement with
the Indians, and for their benefit.
These frauds are becoming nationally
notorious, and cannot continue. Some
of the depredators of the present are
the very men who came here last WIN
ter and testified concerning the steals.

The Popular Scrap Book.

"What do you suppose is the most
salable article we have?" asked Mas
sau Street stationer of New York Sam
reporter; that is, what we sell the most
Of? Pads of writing paper? No, sir.
Scrap books. The growth and demand
for scrap books is remarkable. Every
body seems to be keeping clippings.
The present demand is the growth of
about five years. Up to within couple
Of years we always put the word Bills
or Letters on the back of the book,
with the idea that the books were used
for filing letters and bills chiefly. There
has been complete revolution in the
trade. Nowwe make the backs Of plain
leather-no lettering is put on at all.
The books are used for bills and letters
as much as ever, but the chief call is
for saving newspaper clippings. In the
offices of most of our bankers, brokers,
and railroads downtown boy is regu-
larly employed to paste in clippings
which relate to the business in hand,
and which have previously been blue
penciled. These offices buy scrap books
by the dozen. All sorts and sizes are
wanted, but one with plain cover and
page large enough to hold three half
column clippings from the San is the
favorite. The envelope systems for saw
ing scraps have their advantages, but,
nevertheless, the scrap book has beat
them out OF SIGHT"

THE FRENCH EXPOSITION SCHEME.
Minister Reid Explains the Financial
Scheme of the Exposition.

A letter from Minister Reid to Pres
ident Charles S. Smith, in reply to in
quiries for particulars about the fnan-
cial scheme of the Paris exposition,
has been submitted to the New York
executive committee of the financial
committee of the Worlds Fair asso-
citation. On March 81, 1886, Mr.. Reid
writes, an agreement was made be-
tween the government of France and
the city Of Paris on one side, and the
credit foncier, acting for guarantee
society, on the other, to float the ex-
position at an estimated cost of 49,
100000 francs. The government was
to advance 100000 francs, the city
100000 francs and the Quarantine
society was to receive back its advance
in shares Of 1000 francs each, which
were to participate pro rata in any pro-
fits that might accrue. 1t was also
stipulated that the Quarantine society
should not be called upon until the
advances Of the government and the
city are exhausted. On the other
hand the government was to have en-
tire control Of the expedition. April
Is, 1889, the credit foncier issued
100000 bonds of 25 francs each at
par, or 30, OOO,OO francs. Attached to
each bond We're twenty-five entrance
tickets, valued at l franc each. A
bondholder using all the tickets thus
got the bond for nothing. The bond
entities the holder to a chance in a
drawing of prizes an the close of the
exposition. Besides, every bond is to
be redeemed at par value without in
terest in 1864. From the 100000 900
francs realized by this issue of bonds,
the advance of 10000, 900 was repaid to
the guarantee society. It is calcu-
lated that the remaining 100000
francs will pay the prizes at the draw
ing and leave balance which, if judi
ciously invested, will provide for the
redemption of the bonds at maturity.

Charles Dickens as Editor.

Dickens is most thought of as novel
ist, but his career as editor, if less
dwelt upon, was hardly less distin-
guished in his service, first to House
hold IHords and then to Al the Year
Bound. Except during his brief con-
nection with the Daily Ne,Us, he was
never the editor Of a daily journal; but
in the record, which his son furnishes
in the August number of the English
illustrated Magazine, Of his method OF
editing a weekly journal and of dealing
with his contributors, it is found that
Dickens set up the highest standard
possible, and brought all Of his indom-
table energy and capacity for taking
pains into the service of his weekly
magazine. He was the model editor in
his chosen field, exacting but consider.
ate, and if his correspondence with all
contributors was as kindly as it was
with the American lady whose contri.
buttons he took in hand and commented
on, his relations to his co-laborers must
have been choice illustrations of his
kindness of heart and of the conscien'
tious discharge fhis relations to others.

The German Way.

They do some things better in the
old world than here. For instance
this, as told by Fred Heinz, of Daven-
port. You get off train at German
railway station. In this country you
would be met by horde of bowling
hackman, in whose grasp you would
become as clay in the hands of a potter.
Not so in Deutchland. You go to a
policeman and ask him concerning
carriage. Being an American you ex-
pect that he will tell you he don't
know anything about it and begin talk
ing to friend, but he is a German
guard and he fools you. He gives you
a card with number on 1T and cour-
teo,,sly directs you to row of motion
less carriage drivers, each one by his
carriage. You go to the man whose
number corresponds with that on your
card and nobody says word while you
drive away. What's more, that card
given you by the policeman contains
the fixed rates of carriage hire, and if a
hackman attempts to overcharge you
you can make it very unpleasant for
him. The German hackmen impressed
me very favorably indeed.

Women Who Buy Mems HATS.

ut is not perhaps just the thing in
point of good manners and social ETH
quette to allow woman to wait while
you attend to the wants of man." said
a local hat dealer the other day. "But
when a woman comes in to buy hat
for child Of one of the late mans
straw hat fad,' and q masculine comes
IN behind her we always wait on him
first. Why? Well, for various rea-
sons. The man as rule buys hat
costing him all the way from So. 25 to
50, while the woman seldom wants more
than 50 worth Of hat. Then again it is
easier and more satisfactory to try to
sell hats to dozen men than to try to
get a woman to invest $1.75 in straw
hat for herself or IS cents in head-gear
for a child. They will come in with
one or two friends" continued the
loquacious dealer, "and try on about
every hat in the store before they de-
eide to take the first they looked at, or
decide to go elsewhere. Then, after
they imagine they have selected the
best and most becoming style, and they
are generally very sure to do that, they
put it down and take up another with,
Now, Julia, I don't know but this
would look as well on me. What do
you think?' Then follows an animated
discussion, broken by various lapses
into comments on outside matters till
the hat clerk begins to grow dizzy. He
has not been used to that sort of thing,
poor fellow, till within the last two sea-
sons, and it wears on him. The woman
about to purchase hat for Johnnie is a
bother. but she does not become such
an unmitigated nuisance as the woman
buying hat for herself. I hope the
rage for mems hats among the fair sex
will soon disappear. I do not wonder
that dry goods clerks and those who
have constantly to minister to woman's
vagaries are bald-headed."
And the hat dealer went out with 8
smile to meet two young women who
fortunately for him, only wanted te
look over his stock of yalises.

A Good and Early sureestiou.

Next year will be the first year of state
hood, and the Dakotas should do some-
thing to advertise themselves. The most
effective advertising ever done for North
Dakota was done by ]. B. Power when he
was land commissioner of the Northern
Pacific railroad. 1t was the fair on wheels
that he took all over the east and into
Canada. The tour of that car was simply
triumphant. Everybody went to see the
Northern Pacific exhibit and the favorable
results were manifest for years afterward.
The same idea could be adopted by the
states of North and South Dakota, and
next fall several cars fitted up and sent
east during the fair season. It will not be
very expensive, and the whole country
would see and read about the train from
the Dakotas. The first state Legislatures
might make hit in taking up this sug-
gestion.

North Dakota's Ola soldiers.

Last week there was organized in the
shade Of a beautiful grove on Heendale
farm. Ricbland county, the North Dakota
Old Soldiers association. The meeting
was held upon the invitation of j. 8.
Power, the proprietor of the farm. He
did it at the instance of his brother, w. A.
Power, an enthusiastic member of the G.
A. r. The largest grove in North Dakota
upon any one farm is found at Heendale.
1t covers 1000 acres. The choicest spot
in this woodland was selected for the old
soldiers picnic, and by those present ded-
icated as ian annual meeting ground.
Time Of meeting hereafter was fixed upon
the second Tuesday of June. j. H. Mil
Ter. of Wahpeton, one of the boys who
was wounded upon the summit of Look
out Mountain, was elected the first presi-
dent. 1t is the intention Of the founders
of this association to make the picnic next
year as large and general as possible.
There will be an effort to get one or more
distinguished orators from the east, and
make the speaking that is done attractive
and interesting. Aside from the interest
in the picnic itself, the Helendale farm is
worth seeing and investigating.

A BOULANGER SURPRISE:
He Is Preparing for Triumphal Return
to Paris.

LONDON, My 17.-Gen. Boulanger is credited
with prep:r iii- new surprise for the world.
According - good authority, he now intends,
since the senate is likely to abandon his prose-
cution, to return to Paris. The report says
that his followers have been communicated
with and the most elaborate preparations are
making for his triumphal return TO the French
capital. The general is disg usted at his treat
ment in London. and has declared to friend
that he would rather trust to the tender
mercies of his own nation and the defense of
his friends than to longer trespass on the cool
courtesy of the English, with whom he has
gained neither fame nor position. The general
complains especially of his treatment by the
newspapers, many of which have derided him.
1t is owing, no doubt for the most part, TO the
papers that Boulanger has been practically
boycotted in England. He commenced his
London career more like a Snowman than a
statesman, and has selected as his companions
a certain class of public men who are not
usually accepted as
