Cherokee Conferepce Postponed.

MUsKoGEE L T., Aug. 1Z-Negotiations with the Indian tribes of the Territory have ceased until the first part of October.
 It is the aim of the Commission to give the Cherokees one more chance before making terms or treaties with other tribes, as their acceptance of the Govern ment's offer would simplify the work. The Commissioners will therefore be pre- sent at Tahlequah at the meeting of the Council in October.
 Should the Governments offers be again rejected the work before the Commission will probably be the settlement of tribes on the Strip according to the treaty of 1866, whereby each Indian will be allotted 100 acres of land After this allotment there will be about 4,OO0, 900 acres to be thrown open 10 settlement. The lands, now occupied by the various tribes would then be rendered vacant and would like- wise be thrown open to settlement. The probability Is therefore that millions of acres will be opened some time next year.

A Deraulting Railroad President Given . Severe Sentence-An Extravagant Wife Led Him to Ruin.

Defaulting Railroad President Given .
 Severe sentence-An Extravagant Wife
 Led Him to Ruin.
 NEW YORK. Aug. 17.-Eben s. Allen, the defaulting ex-president of the Forty second and Grand Street Ferry Railroad Company, who pleaded guilty to two in- dictments charging him with overissue of over S100, 900 worth of the stock of the company, was sentenced by Judge Glider sleeves yesterday to seven years impris- onment at hard labor on each indictment, the maximum penalty for the offense.
 The court room wns crowded when Judge Glldersleeve entered court When he was asked what he had to say why sentence should not be pronounced upon him, Allen turned and looked at his cnun- sel but did not utter syllable. Mir. Eus- tis, after some deliberaton, said there was nothing to add to what had already been presented in regard to the previous good character of the prisoner.
 Judge Gildersleeve, then addressing Allen, said: MT. Allen, you pleaded guilty to two indictments. I am informed by the district attorney that, although other charges could be preferred against you. none other than those to which you have pleaded will be preferred I have n of yours, and many persons have been 10 see me with regard to your case, but after very careful consideration of the whole matter, taking into consid- eration that punishment could be inflicted on you for the charges which are not pressed, l see no reason why l should not impose the maximum penalty. The sentence of the court is that you be confined in State prison at hard labor for seven years on this indictment which hold in my hand. and under the other indictment that you be also confined at hard labor for the period of seven years 10 begin at the expiration of the first term"
 Allen turned sickly pale as he was led back to the pen. He looked around the court room. None of his friends except hls brother was present Even his wife, whose extravagance is said to be the eau Sc of her husbands ruin, failed to come to court
 Before he married her Mir. Aliens wife was an actress. After their marriage she was unwilling to give up the stage and in- duced her husband to furnish the money for a theatrical venture at one of of New York's second-class theaters. Mrs. Allen distributed her hus- bands money with a lavish hand; she bought every thing she wanted or thought she wanted and every thing that any one else thought she wanted. The dressing rooms of the theater were fitted up with a luxurious elegance that would have taken the breath away from the average actress. The furnishings were of as costly char acter as could be found in New York.

INSPIRATION OF CHEER.
Half the Battle of Life Consists in Keep-
 Ing Up Cheerful Spirit.

ing Up & Cheerful Spirit.
 When depression comes and the clouds, when the spirit is loaded with deadening pain, all work becomes drudgery, and life is burden and difficulty Whatever is done is carried on under compulsion, with a wish that 1t could be avoided, and feel ing of pleasure--if so mournful a kind of congratulation can be called a pleasure that it is at last completed And even if because there is will-power enough to drive 1t along, and favorable circumstances to make 1t successful it will afford but little satisfaction, for the spirit will bo loaded with forebodings, and the mind be full Of the prophecies of coming evil. If any good work be well done 1t must be amid buoy ancy and hope With this experience, no matter how hard the task may be, or how unpromising, there will be energy given to 1t, and that facility of skill and tact that, unless the hindrances are invinolble, will carry 1t through to good end Our re- ligious work very often lags and fails, not because we arc not in earnest in it-per. haps we expend unnecessary labor on it- but because itis done under a cloud Hope is wanting. There is no enthusiasm spring and eager onlooking and vision of inevitable accomplishment But if the heart is bright 1t will be able to go cheer- fully through an experience. and also bear it's disappointments, rejoice in it's trtbula- tions and not only believe, but know, that God makes all things work together for good to those who love Him. It is not pos sible-not for all of us-all the time. Moods are many, and we are liable to fall into dull ones betimes; but 1t ought to be a part of our effort to drive away the clouds, if possible, and turn to the beautiful and in- spring light United Presbyterian

The logical obIeetOr is never weary He is ready for you at every turn. You propose, it may be, to set out violet root in a certain spot He will bring up at least half dozen arguments for spot SIX feet away. You suggest morning stroll He will make it as clear as day light that you had better attend to that little matter of business this morning and take the walk in the afternoon. You stir up the evening fire He will prove 10 you by all the laws of physics that you should have inserted the poker at different point Now, the spectator may accept tho yise conclusions of the Obteotor, or he may resist them.
