The paper was replete with good things

ners, customs and especially OF the
pecullariLies OF that peculiar people,
many OF which were very RmuSing.
For instance, nearly everything Is
done contary to what II is In our own
country, and It seems very strange to a
native OF that country why we do things
as We do. Gheir books begin where
ours end. The word fnis coming where
we have the tile page. The foot notes
arc at the top Of the page. They mount
their horses from tho right side; the
name is trained TO hang on the left side,

The description OF a Japanese court.
ship and marriage YVES very amusing.
They bury their dead at sunset and use
white to denote their mourning. The
burial is conducted in quiet and or
derly manner. The progress OF Chris

been almost incredible, aud It will be
much greater in the near future.
The closest attention was paid through.

Brothers swung.
TAHIEeuAH, 1. T., April 1.-THE two
Dunawas brothers were hung here at
80 o'clock this afternoon in the pres
ence Of a large concourse OF people.
Everything passed off quietly.
The crime for which George and Fred
Dunawas paid the penalty OF the law was
the murder Of Wash Lee, near this place,
on,september "a, 1880. Wash Lee was
q Cherokee and had o wife and two
daughters, one Of them married to a Mr..
Tickaneeekee. A short time prior TO
the murder scandal arose in the neigh.
borhood which affected Mrs. TiCkanee-
skee. The origin OF the scandal, 1t Is
spid, was traced to Mrs. Lizzie Dunawas,
Fred's wife. ALI the parties concerned
met at Mrs, Chambers, neighbor, and
Wash Lee attacked Fred Dunawas, and
Mrs. Lee gave Mrs. Dunawas severe
after which they separated.
On the 25th Fred and George Dunawas
returned 10 the Chambers residence and
were ordered away by Lee, who hap.
pened to be there. Lee struck George,
who drew his pistol and fired; Fred also
opened FIRE. The firing did not cease
until the Dunawas had both emptied
their cylinders, alter which they fed.
In pursuit Of them Lee singled out Fred
as the most deserving object OF his ven.
geance, and was pushing him hard in
the flight when, upon reaching a small
tree, he swung himself suddenly around
II. This manoeuvre enabled Fred not
only to battle his pursuer but to deal o
blow in his own defense. He struck
Lee upon the head with the barrel OF his
ground, where he died. a large and
earnest petition was presented to Chief
Justice Mayes asking commutation Of
sentence, but executive clemency could

Contrary to expectation, the Union

ART IN POTTERY.


Young America In Competition for tn,
Prizes offered by the United Staten Pot.
ters' Association.
In the large sample room OF the War
wick Pottery are now displayed sixty.si1
designs, representing nine American
art schools, submitted in Response
to the offer OF the United Slater
Potters' Association. Boston took
the first and second prizes oil
$40 and $50 respectively. Philadelphia
the third, OF S25, and New York the
fourth, OF Sl5. There were creditablc
designs from Cincinnati, New 0rleanH
and Providence.
The designs are ior a covered oblong
dinner dish and q ever for a toilet set.
The rewards are made with regard to
excellence OF form; adaptation to house.
hold use; merit OF the relief ornaments
tion and its suitability to the form; ex.
cellence oicolor decoration and It's adapt.
alton to form; strength and originality
OF the designs forming the set. The
drawings are almost uniformly good, but
this, OF course, ia not enough. There is
more merit in the coloring than in the
average design, aud less in form and
adaptability than in either OF these.
Almost without exception there ia a
manifest ignorance OF any and all OF the
principles upon which the potter pro,
ceeds, resulting in deaigns too costly to
produce, and others that would not suit
the purpose for which they are intended.
This defect is quite natural in the work
Of persons who, perhaps, never saw the
inside Of pottery and have bad no
special instruction in that branch Of in.
dustry. Realizing that some knowledge
Of the craft should go with the art edu.
tioD, the Potters' Association has ar.
ranged with the Pennsylvania Museum
and School OF Industrial Arts in Phila.
delphia which has added school oi
pottery in which students are received
on easy terms. In Europe such facilities
are afforded by the governmental in appre.
citation Of their practical value in elevat.
ing the standard OF industrial art.
It is the desire Of the PoLters' Associa.
ton to educate young men and women
who shall be thoroughly capable OF pre-
pairing acceptable designs ready for the
mechanical part Of the work.
