At this season it is again the
pleasant duty of Mic Teng, the pop
ular bookseller, 900 w. Commerce
street, as it has been for so many
seasons past, to lend his services to
those who stand embarrassed be-
fore the riches offered on every
hand. Especially does he address
himself to those givers Of Christ
mas gifts who may be sagacious
enough to seek something that will
be of more than passing value, and
who regard nothing better as a
memorial of respect and ELECTION
than a good book. For such, choice
has been made easy this year. One

provided a treasure for every men,

A Strange Story Started.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 2S.-The
following remarkable story was
started from this city yesterday:
The Russian Foreign office has re-
ceived an offer from Premier SIAM
bulotf, of Bulgaria, to arrest Prince
Ferdinand and send him to Russia
or Austria. For this service STAN
buloff desires a guarantee of 10000
pounds sterling and high official
position in the New Bulgaria. NJ.
DeGiers, Russian Minister Of for
eign affairs, replied that Russia
could not afford to await the natu-
raj decay of Bulgaria's present in
situations. Although this story is
being sent all over Europe, it is
such a palpable lie that its only
significance is to be found in the
proof it gives of Russia's desire to
curtail the influence of the Bulga-
rian Bismarck.

oklahoma's Statehood Boom.

KINGFIsHER, O. T., Nov. Is
The twenty-five counties of Ok
lahOma have selected delegates to
the Statehood convention, called
to meet here today. This action
was wholly nOn-partisan, delegates
being chosen with a view to their
ability to cope with the,questions
with which the convention will
have to deal. The latter is to
be held in pursuance of rec
concentrations passed at the
Statehood convention held at Okla
homa City, Sept. 30. 1t will be a
thoroughly representative delegate
body entitled to 4l2 members.
Each of the five civilized tribes
may send fifty, and Oklahoma 1872,
It will be unlike all previous as
semblics in that its membership
comes from the people formally,
instead of being self-appointed.

Destitution.Among the Miners.

DETROIT, Nov. 2S.-The closing
down of the iron mines in the up
per peninsula has thrown thou
sands of men out of employment.
Estimates range all the way from
10000 to $1,000. Great restitution
exists. Gov. Rich has invited the
mayors of all the principal cities in
Michigan, and leading men from
the upper peninsula, to meet in
Detroit Monday and take some ac-
tion toward relieving the distress.
No plan of action has been fOrmu-
lated, There will undoubtedly be
a large attendance, and commit
tees will be appointed to raise
money and carry on the work of re-
lief. Already considerable money
has been raised, and more has
been promised.

Colored Men in Council.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 2S-The great
est gathring of colored men ever
held in the United States is that
which opens here today. The call
for the gathering was issued by
Bishop Henry &. Turner and three
hundred other prominent colored
men. The body is to form itself in
to national council which is to
review and pass upon our cOndi-
ton patiently, impartially, and re-
port truthfully our knowledge of
every person murdered by mobs,
lynchers, and when and what for,
with documentary evidence, if pos
sible, for the use of the committee
or committees having such matters
in hand"
The address is based on the Gre
voting, hideous, monstrous, I'M
natural, brutal and shocking crimes
charged upon us daily on the one
hand, and the reign of mobs,
lynchers, fire fiends, midnight and
midday assassins on the other, for
the purpose sOf centraliZing our
sentiment and unifying our en-
deavOrs for better conditions in
this country or as change Of base
for existence
The address states that no points
Of-OrdCr raiserS, cheap nOtoriety
seekers or hOt-headed squallers are
wanted; that matters are too
solemn. Each delegate who eX-
poets to occupy the floor is
urged to prepare his speech at
home so that he cannot be misun-
derstood. The address concludes ::
"Let no one who uses ardent
spirits dream of attending unless
he promises his God that he
will not touch the accursed cup
while the council is in session, for
it will be no place for unbalanced
men,"
The address concludes as fol-
lows: Estates, communities or
sections sending delegates, we
hope will see that they are amply
supplied with funds to creditably
meet their expenses and return
home like gentlemen at the close
OF the session."
Bishop Turner is the oldest col
Ored divine in the country, and his
speech calling the gathering to or
der will be, like all his efforts,
truly eloquent and forensic. Chas.
w. Anderson, one of New York's
cOlOred men of note, is expected to
represent the North, while Robert
II. Terrell, of Washington, will be
another of the delegates and speak
ers. He graduated from Har-
ward with honorable mention in
1884, being the first of his
race to represent the old university
as a commencement orator. He
was an instructor in the cOlOred
high school at Washington until
1889, when he became chief of navy
pay division in the treasury de-
partmcnt by appointment of Sec
rotary Window. Since the inCOm-
ing of the present administration
he has been engaged in the praC-
tice of law as the partner of Hon.
John r. Lynch.
