INDIANS TO MAKE AN EXHIBIT.
Miss Emma T.. SickIes' Efforts to Interest
Red Men in the Fair Successful.

lheu Atcn III the air SucCeSSauls
Miss Emma E. Sicllles is at the Pal
mer house. She has just returned from
the Indian territory, where she has
been endeavorIng to arouse interest
among the Indians for a worlds fair
exhibit this summer. Miss Sicllles
says all the Indians exercised a will
ingness TO exhibit their present knowl-
edge of the mechanics and fine arts
and their collections of curiosities. All
the leading men and women of the diff.
ferent nations were preparing to visit
Chicago during the fair. They want q
building of their own and would like
to pay for it with their own
money, and to that end have appointed
ways and means com mittees 20 raise
the amount required. The Cherokee
Worlds Fair association has been or
ganized at Tahlequah. Other nations
have promised to cooperate with the
Cherokee nation. Miss SickleS first
visited Seneca in October. There she
met representatives from the Peorias,
Miamis Senecas, Wyandottes, Modocs
and the Six Nations. After one week
there She attended the Creek council at
Okmulgee. In November she attended
the Choctaw council at TuSkahoma,
where resolutions were passed to hear
Miss Sickles at joint meeting. AT all
these councils great interest was mar
ifested by the Indians in Miss Siclles'
efforts to secure them proper recogni-
ton at the great fair. There is more

says that unless something is done in
this line to attract the attention of the
nations there is certain TO be an Indian
war of great magnitude this summer.

Despised "Stene Ceal."

At the beginning of the present CEN
tury anthracite or .'stonAoal," as i. was
called, was not used at all except by
blacksni.hs and iron workers in the dis
tricts where it was found. It was be-
ieved that it could not be made to burn
except by an artificial current of air,
such as bellows supplied. In 1903 two
great boat loads Of it were floated down
from Mauch Chunk, Penn, to Philadei-
phia. Not a lump of it could be sold,
because people did not consider it OF any
use for fuel. The city authorities tried
10 use it for steam engine at the water
works. but it would not burn. Finally
they gave it up. declared the coal worth
less ard caused what remained of it to
be broken up and spread instead Of gravel
on the ;oospaths of the public grounds.
This failure put a stop to the mining az
Mauch Chunk, but it was renewed IN
1913, aad in the following year al ark

MRS. TISCHAUSER REMANDED

Judge Shaw Cannot See That She Was
Justified in Throwing Stones.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Elizabeth
Tischauser came before Judge Shaw on
habeas corpus proceedings for her re-
lease from the county Jail, instituted by
her attorney, Hugh j. Crawford. She
was cent to Jail by Justice Bartholo-
new, not being able to give the $500
bond to keep the peace required by
him in case of threats brought against
her by Mrs. Martha Hebler.
The case WAS presented to Judge
Shaw, and ne remanded the poor woman
to Jail. not being able to do anything
else under the facts in the case.
The troubles between these two fami-
lies have frequently been before the
courts and have excited various COM
ments amongst those who know them.
In case Mrs. Tischsuser is unable to
give the bond she will be obliged to
stay in jail for some time. The fami-
lies reside close together, and there is a
disturbing element in their relations
which leads to periodical outbreaks OF
feeling, in which, go far, Mrs. Tschauser
seems to have had the worst OF It.
