Electric Cars in BROOKLYN.

One of the features of Brooklyn life
among people TO whom the expenditure
of small sums is a matter of Jealous IN
terest is a trip on the new electric car
which has been put on a road that runs
10 Fort Hamilton. There is an odd mix
ture of heavy browed scientific men and
picnic parties on the car during the morn
ing runs. The scientific men tsIk cleo
tricity until the air is blue, and the ex-
cursionists eat peanuts and wonder what
makes the car so. Not infreQuently
crowds of heavy fnanciers from New
York are TO be found swooping up and
down on the car, observing It's work
with beetled brows. One of the engineers.
in speaking of 1t the other day, said that
he had been questioned so much about
electricity that be had come to the con-
clusion that very few people knew any
thing about it.-New York Sun.

IN THE LAST DITCH.
The Oherokees Appeal to the Generosity Of
the Government

TALEOUAH, J. T., Sept. 15.-The letter of
Treasurer Rocks, of the Cherokee nation,
30 Chief Mayes, notifying him in an official
way that the cattlemen had not met the
semi-annual payment, brought about a
correspondence between Chief Mayes and
T. II. Hewins, of the Cherokee Live Stock
association.
Mr. Hewins' reply TO the chief s demands
for the payment says: "If the Cherokee
nation can show us any protection, giving
us the use of the country according TO con
tract we are only too willing to comply
with our contract" etc.
Chief Mayes has made no reply TO this
letter Of Hewins, but has made an appeal
TO Hon. T. !. Morgan, commissioner of In
dian affairs, in which he says, after giving
a list OF Cherokee institutions needing
support:
ave have regular annuity of about
Sl50,000 This annuity has failed for many
years to meet the expenses OF our educa-
tional system and the demands for the
maintenance of our public institutions.
But this deficiency has been met
by our internal revenues and
the sales Of lands, among which
IS the revenue derived from our grazing
lands west Of the Arkansas river. For
five years preceding the last two years,
our nation realized 100000 per annum for
this grazing privilege, and for the last two
years the Cherokees have realized the sum
of 300, 900 per annum for this privilege.
THE order of President Harrison, order
ing men from our grazing lands from
which we have been deriving a revenue
for many years. seems, from the cor
oespondence herewith submitted, to
have the effect to deprive our people
of the 100000 revenue. Now
doubt IL you can conceive the real burden
that will be put upon the CherOKees in de-
priving them of this revenue to run their
public institutions and government, that
had just begun TO put on good and
wholesome appearance, after going through
the trials Of destructive war.
The greater part of our present crops
are already destroyed 10y the great
drouth now prevailing in this section
and our people are already suf-
fering from the effects of it. Now. in
this season Of suffering, will your govern
ment take from our people this much
needed revenue2 Is this charity / see
that the president has recommended that
the people Of Oklahoma be provided for in
this, their hour of distress. How strange
and we, their neighbors, must be deprived
of that which il justly ours-and by his or
der. We can only make these pitiful
appeals TO you: our mouths are shut off
from your courts of justice.
The Cherokees are losing faith in your
government and the teachings of the mis-
sionaries will certainly lose its force with
the Indians if, by the order of one man, the
Cherokees are TO be treated in this man
ner. The Cherohees are not asking for
charity, they only ask for what is theirs"

A New Occupation.

The latest occupation open to women
is that of lamp carer. l don't know if
that's what the ladies who take care of
lamps call themselves, but that's what
they really are. There are two in the
city now, or there will be two during
the winter. They are "reduced gentle
women" and each morning they visit a
number of houses and clean, fill and
''fix" the various fine lamps set before
them The average servant can do moth
ing with a lamp but spoil tts but these
ladies don their aprons and rubber
gloves, clean the outside and inside Of the
lamps, see that the wicks are IN good or
der, I'll the lamps and leave them so that
even the stuPdest servant cannot pre-
vent them from burning well
They have studied lamps, know the
right Kinds and sizes of wicks, know
whether COLA oil is needed IN one kind
of lamps and starlight" In another,
and altogether they take away from the
owners a great deal of the care which
the management of the rediscovered and
much multiplied lamps brings upon
them.-Chatter.

BIG PREMIUMS ON LOANS.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The stringency in
money continued to overshadow every
thing else on Wall street today, and IN the
stock exchange the loan crowd was larger
than it has been in years. The first loans
on call were made at Is premium and
legal interest and money was soon
in demand at 4 premium and
legal interest or equal to 90 per cent per
annum. The majority of the loans were
made at this rate and for two hours the
prevailing rate was Il per cent and pre-
mium. Then the demands became less ur-
gent, nearly all the brokers having sup
piled themselves with funds, and in the
afternoon it was freely offered, the last
loan being made at per cent.

New YORK, Sept. 15.-Electric Light
Lineman Kopp was tortured to death to-
night on the pole at Thirty-ffth street and
Broadway, right before the eyes of the
pleasure seekers emerging from Park
theater. 1t was very funny play the
theater-goers had seen and there were
smiles of remembrance on many faces.
Many of the people saw Lineman Koop
mounting the pole as they came out of the
theater Suddenly it was seen that some
thing was wrong, the man became limp
and the awful sizzle of the electric fluid
could be heard by the crowd. The elec-
tricity was entering into human flesh.

Names That overcame a Hotel Clerk.

Names That Overcame a Hotel Clerk.
Among the many thousands of proper

of hotel like the Grand Pacific, pretty
much every known combination Of let

hardened, and greet Mr. Buck and Mr..
Cluck and Mr.. Duck with equal affabil-
ity. But Paul Cores, of the Grand Pa
cific, ran up against a combination the
other day that laid him out.
The two japanese produce and stock
exchange commissioners who are stop
ping there walked up to the desk and
asked if any one had called on them
during their brief absence. They had
registered before Cores came onAnhI
