Tn race troubles of the Chickasaws
which in past years have been mainly con
fined To the status Of the freedmen, have
now taken new and more important
form. The recent decision of the Chica-
saw Supreme Court depriveS of citizenship

women Of the tribe These men have
hitherto not only enjoyed the franchise.
but have had seats in the Legislature, and
have filled other offices like full-hlood
ChicaSaws The controversy has pohti-
cal hearing in consequence of the disputed
election of a year ago, which resulted in
very close vote and threatened to lead to
riots or civil war. That the ChickaSaw
Supreme Court has a right to determine
the qualifications for citizenship is iudi-
Gated by certain decisions of the Depart
ment Of the Interior in reference to other
civilized tribes. and also by some adiudi-
Gated in the Supreme Court OF the United
States. But the white men who suffer
from the present decision declare that
there are provisions in existing treaties
between the Government and the ChieaSaw
Nation which it would nulify; and apart
from the legal points involved it is rather
against the spirit Of the age to take away
from a whole class citizenship once enjoy
ed, whether among Indians or white men.
Unless the Chicasaw Legislature shuold it
self grant relief Congress will be appealed
to, and the question will probably be united
with that of selling surplus Chicasaw lands
and seyeralty allotmentS. The white hus-
bands have too large interests in the farm
ing and cattle business of the Chicasa "
Nation to submit to the present decision
without hard struggle.

why The Leaves Turn.

Why the leaves turn Is question that
puzzles many people at this season of the
year and Is one that is well answered by an
eminent botanist in Field and Forest. who
says: The common and old-fashiOned idea
is that all this red and golden glory we see
now is caused by frost. true and scien-
tihc explanation of the causes of the color
ing of the leaves would necessitate a long
and intricate discussion Stated briefly
and in proper language. those causes are
these: The green matter in the tissue of
a leaf is composed of two colors, red and
blue. When the sap ceases to flow in the
fall. and tie natural growthSuf the tree
ceases, oxidation of the, tissue takes place.
Under certain conditions, the green of the
leaf changes to red: under different condi-
tiOns it takes on yellow or brown tint
This difference in color is due to the differ
ence in combination in the original cOnStit-
uents of, the green tissue and to the vary
ing conditions of climate. exposure and
soil. A dry, cold climate produces more
brilliant foliage than one that is damp and
warm. This Is the reason that our Ameri-
can autumns are so much more gorgeous
than those of England There are several
things about leaves that even science can
not explain. For instance, why one of two
trees growing side 10y side, of the same age
and having the same exposure. should take
on a brilliant red in the fall. and the other
should turn yellow: or why one branch of
a tree should be highly colored and the
rest of the tree have only yellow tint
are questions that are as impossible to
answer as why one member of a family
should be perfectly healthy and another
sickly.

ASKS \ RECEIVER.
To Take Charge of the Frcderickscn's Ar
fairs In Chicago.

CAlCAoo, Oct 2a.--A bill asking re.
ceiver for the N. c. Frcdericksen Land
company, was filed today. Fredericksen
is a son-m-law of the late prime minister
of Denmark and has made a speciality of
the sale of Minnesota and Dakota lands to
Scandinavian immigrants and acting as
agent for various land gran, roads. The
sales last year aggregated a million
acres. OF late, charges of swinding have
been preferred against him by various
persons, and these charges hada disas-
t,ous effect on business The hill filed
today alleges that Fredericksen is insol-
vent and has transferred the assets for the
purpose of defrauding his creditors 1t is
also asserted that he has left the state to
avoid service of process.

Electricity Instead of sand.

A series of experiments with a new
electrical appliance for increasing the trac-
tive power of locomotive engines has been
successfully concluded by Elias f. Ries of
Baltimore, on the Philadelphia 4 Reading
railroad. The trials were made on the
Frackville grade, one of the steepeSt on the
Reading system, and were pronounced
eminently satisfactory IN every respect
The apparatus consists of small dynamo
and engine mounted upon the locomotive
and furnishing an electric current. which
is passed forward to the rear driving
wheels, through that portion of the track
rails lying between them. The passage of
the current into the wheels and back
causes an increased friction between the
wheel. and the rails, which is claimed to
be far superior to that obtained by sand
ing the tracks. and enables the locomotive
to draw a much heavier train without re-
gard to the condition of the track, than is
at present possible The Frackville grade
averages lS5 feet to the mile, and with the
dynamo running and train of forty-fve
cars attached to the locomotive the ascent
was made in twenty-eight minutes while
without the current a trip over the same
ground with the same train behind re-
quired ffty-fve minutes The current
used is what is termed low tension cur
rent and the increased traction obtained is
under complete control by the engineer.

Grow Old Gracefully.

The art of growing old gracefully con-
sists in remaining young. 1t is possible to
grow old very fast. Byron died at 36,
Shelley at 30 and Keats at p years of age.
But they had already thought and felt
enough to fill the measure of more than a
common life. We do not mention their
names to prove that genius Is destined TO a
brief career. Byron wore himself out with
dissipation. Shelley was drowned and
Keats died from a disease to which he had
q constitutional tendency Many of the
most illustrious men Of action and of
thought, many of the worlds hardest
workers have lived to a great age. But
some natures are so intense that they burn
out like candle supplied with an excess
of oxygen. The calm the equitable. the
moderate livers are apt TO run longer
race. There are men who grow old be
cause their lives run In narrow and shall
low channel They lack the cheer and the
inspiration Of diversified pursuits and
varied interests. Every new interest. If it
is legitimate, Is d new hold upon life.
