NAPOLEON'S QUESTION

When Napoleon was retunino
! from his campaign in Eeypt and
oyrla, he was seated one night unon
the deck of the vessel under the GREAT
canopy of the heavens, surrounded bv
his generals. The conversation ba3
taken Septical turn and some Of
the party had combated the doctrine
OF the Divine Existence. Napoleon
sat silent, and musing, apparently
taxing no interest in the discussion
when, suddenly raising his hand and
to the crystalline armament
crowded with blazing planets and
entering stars, he broke out in those
startling tones that had SO often cleo
trliied a million men: Gentlemen

NO MATTER WHO'S HURT.
IN THE PENSION
OFFICE TO BE INVESTIGATED.
By Order Of the Secretary Of the Interior
The Civil Service Commission Complain
About the Administration Of the Law
in the Pension Office.

WASHINGTON, July a3.-Secretary No
bic has issued an order directing DR..
George Ewing and H. L. Bruce of the
Board Of Pension Appeals, and Judge
Frank L. Campbell of the Assistant At
torney Generals Office, Interior Depart
ment, as committee to forthwith enter
upon the investigation of all reratings
of pensions as made by the Pension Bu-
reau during the last twelve months, and
especially those of pensioners In the gov
ernment service, with view to ascer-
tanning whether any such reratingS have
been made in violation of law. The
members of the Commission have
no idea when they will fn-
ish their work. They have instrnc-
tons to make thorough lnvesti-
cation and report the facts to the Secre-
tary without regard to whom is hurt. 1t
is understood that the scope of their
work will be enlarged so as to include
the matter Of making cases special.
Commissioner Tanner has given instruc-
tions that record of cases made special,
with the names of the attorneys in tie
cases, be prepared. 1t will be SUBJ
mitted to the commission, and they can
include that in their report, if desired.
tits said that the Civil Service Commits
sion is not satisfied with the present
administration of the civil service law
in the Pension Office. Commissioner
Roosevelt, it is understood, Will make
remonstrance against the course that has
been pursued.

THEY DON'T WANT TO SELL.
The Cherokee Indians Will Listen to No
Proposition for the Purchase Of Their
Lands.

The Cherokee Indians Will Listen to No
Proposition for the Purchase Of Their
Lands.
CHICAGO, July GA dispatch from
Fort Gibson, l. T., says: The Cherokee
Commission was met here yesterday by
a delegation of Creek Indians, headed
by Indian Agent Bennett, wLo asked
that the Greeks be heard at once in re-
ference to certain technical matter
concerning the sale of their remaining
lands. The request was granted and
General Fairchild has arranged to meet
the Creeks at Muscogee to-day.
The hard feeling between Greeks and
Cherokees grows more bitter as the
pending negotiations come to focus.
The Cherokees apbraid the Greeks for
Inc Uklahcna zeal, and lnelr lnulgna-
ton increases as the Greeks make fur
thcr preparations to sell. The Chero-
KEGS are almost a unit in their opposl-
ton to any and all transactions by which
their lands are to be marketed. Chief
Mayes demonstrated a frmnesS in re-
fusing to call the council that bids fair
to handicap the labors of the commits
sion at the outset. He is reported to
have publicly stated to the commanding
officer at Fort Gibson that ne would not
call an extra session under any circum-
stances. General Fairchild expressed a
desire to confer with the chief at Tah-
lequah as soon as possible, ostensibly
with the object to induce him to call an
an extra session at once. During the
delay that must ensue before the dele
gates assemble, the General says the
commission will 60 to the Cheyenne and
Arraphoe agencies to consider their
claims to the Cherokee strip.
The most important fact that has oc-
Cured to-the commission thus far IS the
length to which their negotiations must
necessarily be protracted, and with the
present hostility demonstrated by the
Cherokee authorities, it may be several
months before preliminary negotiations
can be opened.

Ice Cream Not a luxury.

CINCINNATI, July 23.-When George
Muth, confectioner, was broug bit before
Judge Ermsten of the Police Court to-
day for selling ice cream on Sunday, he
pleaded guilty. The prosecutor sug-
gested that the Court regard the plea as
demurrer, and the Court accepted
the suggestion. His Honor then went
on to say that the use of ice cream had
grown to such an extent that it was no
longer to be classed as luxury, and in
the liberal view the Court was inclined
to take Of the statute, its sale on Sunday
could easily be regarded as a necessity.
Certainly" said his Honor, ''no
man was ever melted by ice cream to go
home and beat his wife and break up
the furniture, and l have no sympathy
with the effort of saloon men to make
the law against them odiOus by pushing
the enforcement of the common law. "
Mr.. Muth was dismissed.

A Boy Who Resembles a Ground Hog.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July sa.-DeKalb
County has genuine wonder in the
shape of ground hog boy, who lives
with his parents on Sand Mountain,
about sixteen miles from here. The lad
is IA years of age, and those who have
seen him say he has head, hands and
feet similar to a ground hog. He cannot
talk, but makes noise like an animal.
He amuses himself almost constantly by
balancing stick on one of his hands,
and is very active. Several gentlemen
have been talking of late of securing
the consent of the parents to place the
boy on exhibition in all of the principal
cities of the country, and, on account
of their poverty, it is said it will not be
hard matter to make contract with
them. All who have seen the boy pro-
nounce him a genuine curiosity, and be-
lieve large fortune could be made out
of him by placing him on exhibition.
