A ROYAL EXECUTION.

How Mary, Queen of Scots, Lost Her
Head, and Tom His Finger.
Little Agnes Murrell the ten-year-old
daughter of a well-to-do Williams bridge far
mer, received among her Christmas gifts
doll that was the very image of Mary,
Queeu of Scots, says the New York Sun.
The likeness was rendered even more strik-
ing by faithful adherence to the style of
dress usually worn by the luckless monarch.
Agnes brother. Tom Murrell, is studiuuS
lad, and taught his sister a good deal Of his
tory through the mute fundamentally of that
doll For her instruction he took small
quantity OF gunpowder from his fathers
flask and blew up a cut figure, out OF tur-
nip. which he said was Lord Darnlev. He
made sofa pillow do duty as Rizzil, and
stabbed it in her presence, and as these
tragic scenes the doll stared with fixed aud
CLASSY impaSSiyeneSS.
Yesterday Tom told his sister that the
time had come for him to show her the last
event in the life of Mary, Queen of Scots
occasion, an ak and block were necessary
for the closing scene. He procured both

Agnes following, gratified aud wonderns.
but without the slightest idea OF the nature
OF the cruel thing she was about to see.
The preliminaries were quickly COM
pleted. The royal neck was stretched across
the block and the ak fell; so did the dolls
head, aud SO did something else that was
not intended to fall. The first joint If the
index finger of Master Toms LIFT hand was
severed as completely as though it had been
removed by surgeons knife. The young
headsman was dancing about ami bowling.
and his sister, as she surveyed her decapi-
tated doll saturated with what she supposed
TO be the blue blood of martyred maj sty,
made an cutlery that quickly brought her
father and mother to the barn.
The Queens head was glued upon her
neck, but Toms injured finger will alwNs
be about an inch shorter than it was before
he played the part of an eXeeutioner.

a Country wherein u titihesS Ii"'-'iJ

Among the ThibetaRs a man marries only
one wife. whom he purchases from her pat
ents n belle often costing as much as ten
nories and thirty yaks. The price TO he
ppoid for the wife Is arranged by a relative
or friend. who acts as go-between, and the
only marriage ceremony is grand spree,
lasting as long as the bridegroom can afford
to keep 1t up.
The life of Thibetan woman in this par,
of the country cannot be deem-d hard one.
She makes the tea, it is true, but with that
the housekeeping ends, for no one ever
dreams of cleaning the kettle afterwaEd, and
every one has to mix his own tsamba AMI
lick his bowl clean when he has flushed
Every four or five years she may have {"
sew new sheepskin gown for herself ar for
some one OF her family, but certainly not
oftener. She cannot herd the cattle or sheep !;
men must do that, as there is danger from
marauders. She passes the time spinning
yarn, weaving coarse kind OF cloth out OF
which badges are made, turning a prayer
wheel and destroying toO-yoraeiUuS yer

Her toilet requires rearranging only tour

American Wealth.

Not greater than the wealth of America
was the tabled wealth of the Indies There
are thousand Americans worth 81 200, 900
or more There are at least five Amer
leans richer than Croesus of song and story.
The wealth of the Duke of Westminster,
whose fortune is the greatest in Europe, is
at careful estimate el0,0o0,0OO or SO, 600
900, and it is the accumulation of long
ancestry. Most of the American fortunes
are the accumulation of a single genera
ton.
The aggregate wealth of the Rothschilds
reaches nearly $1,000, 0OO, 900. but it is dis
tributed among so many that no individual
Rothschild is worth over $40, O0O,O 900. The
Vanderbilt family wealth foots M nearly
S250,oC000J and is held in comparatively
few hands There are scores of Americans
who are richer than any ruling monarch
Of the eastern hemisphere. The incomes
of many monarchs are large, but they are
derived from the civil lists of the countries
over which they hold sway, and do not rep
resent the accretions Of their own fortunes
As people the Americans are the rich
est in the world. Money is more easily ac-
quired here than anywhere else. and il is
likewise more literally spent. What are
considered moderate fortunes here are in
other lands regarded * stupendous aggre
cations of wealth. There are no such OF
portunities of making money in other
countries as in this, and therefore it may
be expected that the number of American
millionaires will be multiplied aud the
fortunes of the present millionaires dou-
bled, tripled and quadrupled within the
next two decades.-New York World.

The Best and Truest Americans.

1t is evident that the makers of America
belong to the middle ranks of society. and
that here is the center Of orr hopes in re-
gard To the nation. The rich families
cannot be large in number with Us. nor
can they maintain in successive genera
tions their hereditary prestige. The war
broke up the old order of things at the
south, and the fact that at the north there
is no room for the man who il simply n
gentleman of leisure has prevented the
people who represent social distinction
from taking an active part in the legisla-
tive life of the country. The old families
have less influence today than they ever
had, and the leaders in legislation. in the
professions. in making and guiding public
opinion, and in contributing TO the pros
perity of the country are, for the most
part, men who have come from the ener-
getic middle class families everywhere.
These are the men who have derived most
benefit from our institutions and best I'M
derstand how they are to he still further
developed. We do not care how rich a man
is, nor who his grandfather was, but we ask
what his capacity may be and what his vir-
tues are, and we give him our confidence
chiefly on the basis of what he is and what
he can do. This current opinion as TO what
constitutes family excellence has wonder
full effect in the shaping of American fami-
lies. II the making of money is the ambi.
ton of most Americans, there is second
airy ambition that concentrates itself in the
integrity and purity and strength Of the
homes of honest and industrious and intel
Ggent penDle.-Bo Boston Herald

Nothing just now is more important
than TO provide every guarantee Tor alb

all the officers OF the national govern.
ment,, whether that suffrage is applied
directly. as in the choice OF members OF

rcctly as in tho choice OF senators and

lie officers and obedience to lawwill not
cease to BIO the character OF our people

without fraud, suppression or gerry
mander.
Ii ! were called upon to declare
wherein our chief national danger lies |
should say, without hesitation, in the
overthrow OF majority control by tho
suppression or pervorsion OF the popu-
lar suffrage. That there is real danger
here all must agree, but the energies OF
those who SEQ it have been chiefly eX-
pended in trying to fix the RESPONSE
bi!ity upon the opposite party, rather
than III efforts to make such practices
impossible by either party. Is it not
possible now TO adjourn thut inter
minablc and inconclusivc debate while
we take, by consent, one step in the
direction OF reform by cl@ilninatin. The
gerrymander, which has been denounced
by all parties as an influence In the Sc
lection OF electors OF President and
members OF Congress-?
All the states have, acting freely and
separately, determined that tho choice
OF electors by n general ticket is the
wisest and safest method, and It would
seem there could be no objection to i
constitutional amendment making Tint
method permanent. II Il legislature
chosen i'll n year upon purely local
questions should, pending Il prcsiden-
tial contest, meet, ,rcscind tho law Tor a
choice upon a general ticket and pro
vide for tho choice OF electors BY the

say that the public peace might be
seriously and widely endangered. ]

INDIAN LANDS OPENED no SETTLEMENT.
Tho good work OF reducing the larger
Indian reservations by allotmcnts i'll
scvcralty to the Indians, and the eession
OF the remaining lands TO the United
States for disposition under the home
stead law, has been prosecuted during
the year with energy and success. In
September last ! was enabled to open to
settlement in tho territory OF Okla
homa 100000 acres OF land, all OF which
was taken up bysettlcrs in 4 single day.
The rush for these lands wa accom-
panied by 4 great deal OF excitement,
butwas happily FREQ from incidents OF
violence.
1t was n source OF great regret that l
was not able to open at the same time
the surplus lands OF the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe reservation, amounting to
about 100000 acres, by reason OF the
insutficiency OF tho appropriation for
making the allotmcnts. Deserving and
impatient settlers arc waiting to occupy
these lands, and l urgently recommend
that 4 special deficiency appropriation
be promptly made OF the small amount
needed, SO that the allotments may be
completed and the surplus lands opened
in time to permit the settlers to get
upon their homesteads in the early
spring. During tho past summer the
Cherokee commission have completed
arrangements with the Wichita, kicka-
poo andTonlua tribes whereby ii the
agreements are ratified by Congress
over 500, 900 additional acres will be
opened to settlement in Oklahoma.
The negotiations for the release BY
the Cllcrokees OF their claim to the
Cherokee strip has made no substantial
progress, SO far rs the department is
officially advised, but it is still hoped
that the Cession OF this large and valu-
able tract may be secured. The price
which the commission was authorized
to offer, ono dollar and Il quarter per
acre, is, in my judgment when all The
circumstances as to the title and the
character 'of tho lands are considered,
n fair and adequate one and should
have been accepted by tho Indians.
