A VERY successful tableau en-

New York, the subjects being
taken from Illustrations in the cur

simple one, and if the subjects are
well chosen it can be made very
interesting. The Century Com

any one who wishes to get up the

ADMINISTRATION OF LAW IN
THE TERRITORY

ILL A1Ae4eA OAs =.
We are informed that the Hon.
orable Attorney General OF the
United States, has notified United
States Attorney Walrond and the
judge ofthe United States court at
Muskogee, that in order to secure
the continuation of the courts in
the Indian Territory, they must be
run on very much less expense
that the cost has become so
enormous that there must be an
immediate and decided reduction
in this respect and suggests the
non-prosecution Of "trifling' cases,
by which we suppose he mems the
lower grades Of misdemearors
enumerated in chapter As of the
Arkansas digest. In pursuance Of
this notification it il ordered that
there be no more prosecutions of
trivial cases before the Com
missioners, and no more warrants
issued by them except upon COM
plants first submitted to the Unit
cd States Attorney and by him APP
proved, and that hereafter there
will be no prosecutions except the
grayer cases Of high misdemeanors.
In other words, most of the often
ses described in the crimes chapter
of the Arkansas digest will be ig-
nored and no attempt made to en-
force them. Upon the peaceably
disposed and law abiding citizens
of the territory, this announcement
will have a disheartening effect
and will emboldcn the lawless and
encourage them to deeds Of vio-
lcnce. 1t will not only increase
crime but will tinge with deeper
color all its manifestations, for
unpunished minor offenses are the
germs of all the higher misde-
meanors and felonies. The good
influences OF the courts will thus
be paralyzed in a certain degree
and their fruit blighted.
This order is made, not because
the prosecution of what is denomi-
mated "tritling" or "trivial" cases
has not been beneficial to the ter
ritory, but simply on account Of
its cost. The work done is ap-
proved; it is the expense that is
disapproved, and herein it is ap-
parent that the Attorney General
is right He is wrong only in the
remedy applied The fault lies in
the method of executing the law
and not in the law, and instead of
suspending it in order to save ex-
pense, the manner of its execution
should be changed so as not to
make necessary these enormous
sums. The system now in practice
is not founded uDon any sound
business principles and demands
immediate and radical modifca-
tion. We insist that a law, so long
as it remains upon the statute
book, should be executed. If the
legislature has declared certain
acts to be criminal, the courts
should not refuse to take cogniz-
ance Of them because in their opin-
ion they are "trivial." Solemn
enactments Of the legislature can
hardly be properly branded as
trivial" To be sure there are
different grades of crime calling for
different degrees Of punishment,
but because the particular offence
is mild one, it does not neces-
sarily follow that it is a "trifling"
one or one that should pass un-
noticed.
AS already intimated, the trou-
bic lies in the machinery by which
the law is executed. We have
superior courts and inferior courts,
the machinery of each or'ler being
adapted to the character of the
duties TO be performed. and run

A ShreWd Artist.

I called on a certain portrait painter

cry of disappointment.

said, I shall not take itp"

and declared that even her little poodle
would recognize it. I am willing to take
that risk, she said. I'll take the picture.
Later in the day she brought in the

after surveying the portrait for moment,

Ia Buzzard Struck by Lightning.

Yesterday afternoon about 8 o'clock
lust before the heavy shower, several gen.
tIemen were sitting in front of store in
West Nashville when one of the party
observed a large turkey buzzard that was
sailing majestically across the sky, and
remarked that if the buzzard did not
look out he would get wet. Their atten-.
ton was thus called to the bird, and ali
were lazily watching its fight when sud-
denly, when it was opposite and above
them, they were blinded by flash of
lightning, which seemingly exploded on
the back of the buzzard. They were
astonished somewhat, but recovered
themselves and looked for the buzzard,
but alas the majestic bird was out of
sight. All that was left of him was a
few black tail feathers which fiuttered
pathetically to the ground. Those who
witnessed the phenomenon succeeded in
catching several Of the scorched feathers,
which they exhibit in confederation of

Six Unlucky Sprees.

One poor mamie is now dead
know, who vas ruined half dozen times
by drink in a very curious and, I believe,
unique manner. He was miserable
enough about his sins, but his penitence
never drove him to get drunk. Quite the
contrary. Drink ruined him, andIyet he
was drunk exactly six times during the
whole of his life>and no more. Most un-
fortunately these we're the very days
when be ought net to have got drunk.
He had, believe, weak and excitable
head. As rule he drank very little.
Now the first time that be got drunk vas
when he was made captain of his school
and got scholarship for the university.
He drank champagne and it went to his
legs and he met the head master. Re-
suit, loss of his place and scholarship.
The next. time he got drunk was the
night before the final examination for his
degree. It was of the highest Importance
to him that be should take good degree;
if he did himself justice he was sure of
good first and of q fellowship. Unluck-
lily, he got drunk on the very evening
when he should have gone sober and
early to bed; the next day he was q
wreck and failed altogether. In the end
he took third. After this he renounced
scholarship and went into journalism.
he did pretty we'll, writing articles and
making a good income and being per-
fectly steady, though, of course, he had
the reputation of the man who had got
drunk and lost his first. Then there
came moment when certain editorial
chair was vacant. He knew that he was
mentioned for it. he got drunk and wss
seen by the proprietors in condition of
hot coppers and imbecility. So be failed.
He then got engaged to be married.
Will it be believed that he got drunk
the very evening before the wedding, and
was seen in that condition by the unhap.

remained bachelor. And there was

all important. BE got drunk the day
before the case came on. When he went
into the box his brains were added and
the case was ruined. Lastly, he got
drunk on his birthday-I believe his six
tieth-went home in peIting rain: took
pneumonia and died. "I'7e only been
drunk six times in my life," he lamented,
with his latest breath, "and each time it
has ruined me. For tenth part of the
penalty that I have paid for these six
times most men might have got drunk
every night of their lives. If had it to
do all over again I would too." And in
this impenitent frame he Departed
