CHEROKEE STRIP.
Its Opening Assured, But 1t Can Not BE
For Some Months.

fOr some MOntHss
TAHLEQUAH, l. T., April 3-The
opening of the Cherokee strip is an
assured fact After stormy debate
which lasted all day, the ratification Of
the amended treaty was passed by both
the house and the senate of the ma
tional council. Chief Harris will sign
it at once, and then nothing will re-
main to be done but to pay over the
money TO the delegation, which will be
appointed to visit Washington in ac-
cordance with the terms of the bill
Congressman Peel gives it as his opin-
ion that the strip can not possibly be
thrown open before July /, as besides
the allotments to the Cherokees and
the settlement of the intruder question
the Tonkawa lands will all have to be
surveyed. There is general rejoicing
here and all along the border over the
action of the council, which was more
prompt than was looked for.

M. King, ID. d., who Is personally ac-
quainted with the work being done at the
home.
Previous to the address the speaker
called to the platform four children, in
mates of the home, who sang sweetly and
in exquisite harmony.
Rev. Mr.. Cummings said: "Every child,
every man and woman, needs home. All
but four in this congregation, besides my
self, have homes and will return TO them
at the conclusion OF this meeting. And
to what kind OF a home do you go? To
a home sanctined by love and worship OF
Christ or to one wherein Christs name is
never mentioned. Ahl every home
should be Christian home, II is the only
home. Now what is more helpless
than baby. IL cannot feed,
wash or dress itself, yet In
time, with good treatment and proper
care it developes into a strong man or a
robust woman. We all were helpless
once and we must not forget 1t. 1t Is in
the homes that everything good roots and
grows. In Christian homes everything
tends TO the worship OF Christ. Upon
the teachings of the home depends the
character and future life OF the child. 1t
must be exposed TO good influences to be-
come an upright and honorable man.
"Now this is what is being done by the
New England Home for Little Wander
ers. There they are subjected to the best
OF Christian influences and are taught to
love God and obey the divine
law. They grow up into
God-fearing citizens and take their
places with the host OF gospel workers in
the world. During the existence OF the
home several hundred Thousand little ones
have been cared for and have been placed
in good homes in the country. The spirit
OF God has blessed the work and is ex-
tending its scope"

SIX BAD STUDENTS
Who May BE Expelled From Phillips
Exeter Academy.

Who May BE Expelled From Phillips
Exeter Academy.
EXETER, N. H.. Dec. 1s.-Exeter is still
greatly excited over the actions of those
who pasted pictures of ballet girls on the
walls of the Academy some nights ago,
and some interesting developments are
looked for momentarily. At the mass
meeting of the students the name of a
correspondent Of a Boston paper was men
toned in connection with the affair, and
IL was alleged that he was responsible for
several articles appearing in his paper
which are considered injurious to the
good name Of the school
The Exonian has also practically
charged that this correspondent was re-
sponsible for the posting OF the ballet
pictures, and that he knew the names of
all concerned. The correspondent is also
manager Of the Exeter Opera House, and
the students voted not to attend any per-
formances at that theater in the future.
The correspondent denies that he had
any connection with the outrage, but
states that he has ascertained the names
of the young men concerned and will pub
lish them. II is learned that there were
six students implicated in the affair. The
young men have learned that the corre-
spondent has the correct names, and it is
said that he has been offered $500 to sup
press them. This falling they have made
all kinds Of threats, as the announcement
of the names will mean the expulsion Of
all concerned and probably prosecution by
representatives of the law. There will be
a special meeting Of the trustees of the
academy, when further steps will be taken
to thoroughly investigate the affair.

REFUSED TO PLAY.
Walter Dainrosch's Musicians Cause Him
Some Trouble.

NEW YORK, Dec. ls-A remarkable
scene was enacted last night at Carnegie
Music hall. A large audience was AS
sembled in the hall 90 listen TO one OF the
popular concerts OF the Symphony or
chestra, of which Walter Damrosch is the
conductor. Ats o'clock Mr.. Damrosch
raised his baton, but there was no re-
sponse from the orchestra. In astonish-
ment he looked at his musicians ana
again waved his baton. Not the slightest
sound came from the musicians.
Raising his baton again Mr.. Damrosch
beat few bars of the overture, but the
same silence prevailed among the musi-
clans. A sharp hiss was then heard in the
front of the house IL was taken up by
row after row OF seats, and quickly spread
to the galleries. The audience was in a
decidedly angry mood. Mr.. Damrosch
was plainly embarrassed. Turning to the
assembly, hesaid:
Ladies' aud Gentlemen: i am sorry TO
say there will be no concert tonight. My
orchestra refuses to play for me on ac-
count OF my. 'cellist, Hegner. regret to
tell you this. regret to tell you that the
fabric which have been patiently weav-
ing for years is ruined. blame no one
for these hard facts"
The audience was decidedly in SYM
pathy with Mr.. Damrosch after he had
made this announcement. The trouble
was brought about by the difficulty
which Mr. Damrosch has recently
been having with the Musical Protec-
tive union. The unionl protested against
the importation Of the famous violol-
cellist, Anton Hegner, who has not
been in this country a sufficiently long
time to become a member of the union.
the rules requiring that an artist shall
have been resident of the country for
six months before undertaking an en-
gagement.
On Friday night Mr.. Damrosch resigned
from the Musical Protective union on ac-
count Of the persistency with which the
members refused to suspend the six
months rule in Hegner's case, and the
members of the symphony orchestra de-
cided to follow the unions mandate.
