The discussion of suicide originat-
ing with Ingersoll has been followed
by an epidemic of selfdestruction.
The clergy quite widely have taken up
the discussion. We cannot help think
ing that Ingersoll receives too much
attention entirely. His theology is too
vague and shadowy to make his opin-
ions OF any consequence to anybody
beside himself, and the discussion of
his views advertises the man and gives
linn an Importance quite out of keep
ing with his merits. From Ingersolps
standpoint there is no sin. He admits
nothing, denies everything that does
not square with his limited experience,
and is an agnostic " for revenue on
ly." Let him alone. - Eechange.

POLITICAL CIPHERS.

Our cam;ng fellow citizens, the

bic patents for tier tracts of land.
Cherokees, Greeks, ChOctaws.
Chiakasaws AMI Seminoles own

Political rights, they have not a
bit more than the horses they
drive. They are subject, politi-
ca!ly, to the Will of the United
States Government. 1t can DC
with their p ,litical status what it
pleases, within the bounds of the
constitution and amendments. l.
can govern them as it governs the
District of Columbia or can make
Of them a territory or can attach
them, with the states consent, to
Arkansas.
Lands and personal property
are vested in them and are guaran-
teed to them by the establishment
of Federal courts within their
boundaries. That is all they have
oortain common civil rights.
Until they become citizens of a
state their political rights are
nothing but such sufferance as
the wisdom OF negligence of Con-
Cress may leave to them.
In dealing with their political
conditions Congress is constrained
by no consideration except the
general welfare Of the United

that there ware only dozen raw
oysters. and when their friend hld
eaten his quota of four he must not

husband promised to remernber.
When the guest had eaten his fouc
oysters the host asked him to take
some more. The wife looked dis
tressed, and the guest de lined. The
husband insi ited that his friend
should have more. The wife looked
as if she were IN agony, anil the
guest firmly refused to allow the rest
of the oysters to be brought fro the
kitchen. Later til, wife nj l to her

Peculiar Way.
DIR. George Ii. Hazelwood relates the
story of 10-year- chilli of one of
his patients, who cannot speak TO its
father, though perfectly glib with
everyone else. The cause assigned
may be gathered from the following:
Previous to the child's birth diff4r-
ence arose between the parents, and
for several weeks the mother refused
to speak to the husband The offense,
whate it was, was condoned, but
not till ter the child was born. II
due time the little boy began to talk,
but when with his father was invaria-
bly, silent 1t continued thus until
the child was or years old, when
the father, having eXhaus sted his
powers of persuasion, threatened con-
dign lunlsh ncnt for its stubb. .rnness.
This was inflicted, bnt without elicit
ing worI, though his -groans told
too plainly he could neither cry nor
speak, and that he vainly tried. Those
present joined in the opinion that the
prenatal effect OF the parental quarrel
made it i'm possible for the boy to
sneak to his father. Time has proved
the correctness of this theory. Though
on perfectly friendly relations with
his father, attempts to speak to him
elicit nothing but signs.

Interview with Mrs. W. L. Wilson.
We have six children. Willie,
the oldest boy, who is twenty-four
is the assistant clerk ON the Ways
and Means Committee, of which
his father is chairman, Walter, who
is twenty-five, is in the chemists
department of some steel works in
Pittsburg; Allen, twenty-one, is con-
nected with the railroad and lives
in Weston, West Virginia; and Ar
thur, my eighteen year old boy is
still at college.
my eldest daughter is now at
Hollins Institute, down in Virginia,
but my second daughter is here
with us. Mr.. Wilson was born in
Jefferson county, and lived only
eight miles form the town which is
now his home. L passed my girl
hood here in Washington, my father
being president of the COLUMBIAN
College, and Mr.. Wilson professor
of latin for the same institution.
After we were married he began a
lawyer in-his native State, and has
now been in Congress several years.
Mr.. Wilson and 1 are both Baptists,
and 1 remember when we heard of
his nomination for Congress he
was at prayer meeting. 1t was
an honor that he had not thought
of or expected, and it was certainly
a case of the "office seeking the
man."

midst of the term. The other day
the Board passed a resolution de-

Moving and Moving Day.

The first of April is here and the
annual fitting has begun.
Wagons loaded with furniture may
be seen on every hand. Thisspring
the fitting is necessary in most
cases, something which cannot ordi-
narily be said of it. One may
afim that many family has been
kept poor by useless moving. The
idea of it is usually that something
better can be had in some other
place for the same money and a faIser
ioea people seldom take up. They
are no more satisfied with the new
place at the end of the year than
they were with the old, and SO it is
move again, which means loss OF
time, of patience and often of relig-
ion to say nothing of the outlay for
new carpets and for furniture
smashed in the moving. A score of
things are pointed to as indicating
the restlessness of the American,
but none indicates it better than
this flight to new homes which have
no advantage over the old. There
are men in this city who have spent
enough in this way since they began
their married life to buy them
homes of their own. In view of
this fact there seems to have been
a sort of grim humor in making
All FOOLS Day the day for moving.
Almost every time almost everyone
of these men declares and some of
them swear as they wrestle with
the stove pipe. or bruise their fin
gers with the tack hammer, or
wrench their backs putting up the
bed stead, that they will not move
again until they have to, but as
certainly as All Fools Day comes
around the fate >of fitting befalls
them. 1t would seem that only
fate could compel them TO go con-
trary to their sore experience.
Nobody more unwillingly than they
admits that moving day is appro-
priately All Fools Day.-PiHsburgh

n Law IcI-o DlI1llEems
well-known Kansas citizen tells
rs story:
Fiften years ago Judge McSweeny
was famous criminal lawyer Of
Southern Michigan. He was called
upon to defend young woman
from the charge of having poisoned
her old husband. 1t was aquestion
Of whether or not she had placed
poison in cake Of which the old
man had eaten. A portion of the
cake had been analysed by chem
list and found to contain great deal
Of deadly poison. The chemist tes-
tiled to this in court. Other wit
nesses succeeded in making a chain
of damning evidence against the
pretty young widow.
The time came for the summing
up speeches of the attorneys. The
prosecution began and finished and
all looked hopeless for the prisoner
at the bar. Judge MeSweeny, the
only speaker for the defense, arose
amid breathless silence. The room
was crowded and all were listening.
One could almost hear the quiet it
was SO intense. He began in a low
tone to sum up the evidence in de-
fence of the prisoner. He had been
allowed an hour in which to plead
his side Of the case. He dealt with
everything but the cake. 1t rested
upon the table just at his right hand,
where it had stood during all the
weary trial. Thirty minutes passed
and the people were still notion
less, charmed by the sweet elo-
quence of the gruff old lawyer.
Three-9uarters of an hour passed
by, then another ten minutes.
When the clock over the big
desk told him there were but five
minutes left, he reached his hand
out to the cake, half of which stood
upon the table, and broke off a rag
ged chunk. He held this in his
hand and between sentences took
great mouthfuls of it. During those
: Eve minutes he calmly argued the
case and ate cake. He demolished
moro than half of it.
The chemist had declared that
there was poison enough in it to kill
fifty men. The good people looked
at him in amazement and the jurors
turned to each other and whispered.
McSweeny wound up his speech,
took another chunk of cake and
walked quietly from the courtroom
eating it. He closed the door be-
hind him, ran into a small room
close by and locked the door. Two
physicians stood ready with stom-
ach pump, and in ten minutes the
cake was all in the slop jar. The
jury returned a verdict of "not
guilty" without leaving the court
room.
