that special tax stamps may be sold to
wholesale aad retail liquor dealers to en-
gage in business therein under the same
terms and regulations as ia other States
and Territories in the United States.
BY previous act Of Congress it was pro-
vided that no ardent spirits should be in
troduced into what is known as the I'm
dian country" except By the authority
and under the control of the Secretary of
War The Indian Territory has heretofore
been considered as Indian country, but
the commissioner holds that as the gov
eminent has purchased the interest of
the Indian tribes in Oklahoma the latter
can no longer be considered as Indian
country" and that the general law upon
that subject does not now apply % the
new Territory. The effect of this de,is-
ion will be to allow wholesale and retail
liquor dealers to purchase special tax
stamps in Oklahoma on the same terms
as in other sections of the country, aud
internal revenue agents will be ordered
there to sell them and to protect govern
ment interests.

Bless you, Mr. Gazette man, the

the South, or to be bitter at all. 1t is
too busy manufacturing and twying and
selling and hustling and developing its

ing Of the hotel porch and look on while
the hated darkcy does the work of the
place, find it harder to get rid of the re-
sentiments Of ancient American history.
Under the circumstances, it is natural
that you should feel as you do, and
know as little about how the North feels
as the above indicates.

/ wH1TR HOUSE CHRISTENING.

Baby Mckee Assumes the Responsibility
Of Name IA the Presence 81 the Cabinet
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The presi-
dent had a pleasant little surprise IN
store for the members Of his cabinet.
Shortly before the meeting adjourned
he announced that the infant Of his
daughter, Mrs. Mckee, would be christ
ened in the blue room after the meeting.
Secretary Blaine had some business to
attend to and could not wait, but the
other members present, Messrs. Tracy,
Window, Noble, Wanamaker and Mil
Ter, remained for the ceremony. Be
sides these and the president and Mrs.
Harrison, there were present DIR. and
Mrs. Mckee, Private Secretary HalfOrd,
Baby" Mckee and q few attendants.
DIR. Scott. the great grandfather of the
child, performed the ceremony.
There were four generations present.
DIR. Scott, Mrs. Harrison. Mrs. Mckee
and her children. The christening was
entirely informal and was not performed
according to any particular church
ritual. The baby was called after her
mother, Mary, with the addition of
Lodge" family name. The ceremony
was conducted quietly, and the presi-
dent and Mrs. Harrison expressed the
wish that as little attention as possible
be given to it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckee, with the two
children, win leave for indianapolis
shortly, and the prospect of their de.
parture hurried the ceremony.
