brilliant husband Mrs. Rosenfeld is a sue
ccssful author and has just sold her latest
effort, theosophic novel, to New York
publisher. Mrs Rosenfeld Is an ardent stu
dent Of occultism and this new novel is pro-
foundly theosophical, mesmcric and mystic
rious. She is young and gifted, and with
tremendous capacity for labor, and her
friends believe she has wonderful future
before her Mr.. Sydney Rosenfeld is writ
ing play called "a Dear Deluslon," which
is said to DO the keenest satire upon theo-
eophical fads aud fancies ever published.

The appointment of Mr.. Robert V. Belt
to the Office Of Assistant Commissioner of
Indian Affairs is one Of merit and accepta-
bility. Mr.. Belt was a gallant Union sol
dier, appointed to place In the Interior
Department In 1889, and holding through
the late Democratic Administration the re-
sponsible position OF Chief Of the Indian
Division in the Office OF the Secretary. He
was the intermediate man between the
Secretary and the Indian Department, and
perhaps more thoroughly conversant with
Indian affairs than any other individual at
tached to the Government service. He is
entirely familiar, not only with the geogra-
ply Of all the reserved Indian lands, but
with every issue that has arisen between
the Government aud the several tribes
during the last quarter OF a century. In
TACT, he is an encyclopedia OF Indian
knowledge, close, careful observer OF the
wants and necessities OF the tribes and
thoroughly Just and honorable Intermediary
In their behalf. In this appointment his
ability and faithful service have not only
been regarded, but the best interests OF the
Government and OF the Indians have been
subserved. 1t is not merely political ap-
| pointment, because while Mr. Belt has al
ways been q pronounced Republican he is
| In no sense an ordinary politician.
