 A local railroad man stated to the GRAPHIC reporter this morning that over 600 men are out on the Cotton Belt line and that the probabilities are that all trains on that line will be stopped in few days if the strike is not settled in the meantime. How ever, all the engineers and conduet- ors have refused to take part in the strike, but there is no telling how soon il may become general.

THE FIRST CUP OF COFFEE.
II Was Probably Made In Arabia About
Four Enndred Years AGO.


-Four Hundred Years Ago.
In the "Bibliotheque rationale
there is manuscript (ncar the end Of
the sixteenth century,, written by an
Arab, Abdcicator, who declares that
coffee was drunk for the first time in
Arabia in the middle Of the fifteenth
century. Others think that certain re-
marks in Persian writings imply that
coffee was used in Persia as early as
the ninth century, but most authors
dispute these texts. II is commonly
supposed that the use OF coffee in its
earliest home, Abyssinia. and in its
centuries old. -
A legend says that the Angel Gabriel,
once when Mohammed was IN. brought
him cup Of coffee Another legend
says that a Mohammedan monk dis
covered that his goats became very
lively and full Of fun after they
had eaten OF the fruit of the coffee tree.
This observation caused him TO make
the first cup Of coffee. His dervishes
drank it at night 20 produce wakeful-
ness when they kept vigils. Cautious
historians laugh at these traditions,
manuscript This writer mentions an
Arab, Gemaleddin, judge in Alden,
who, while travelling in Persia, or, as
the historians correct the manuscript,
10 Abyssinia, saw people use coffee as
medicine lie used IL and was cured Of
a sickness. Later. becoming a monk,
he taught his brethren the use Of coffee
II was then in Alden that coffee drink
ing originated. The fallirs even made
coffee drinking compulsory upon their
neophytes. Public coifec-houses origi-
mated in Alden, and very early in his
tory.
We do not find any opposition TO the
use Of coffee until the middle of the six
teenth century, when the Egyptian
sultan sent new governor, Chair Bey,
10 Mecca. This governor lmew moth
ing about coffee, and was greatly en-
ragged when he saw the dcrvishesin the
mosque drink coffee. lie believed that
which they did was contrary to the
teaching OF the koran and that they be-
came intoxicated. He consulted two
Persian physicians, who were opposed
10 coffee They declared II was o sub
stitute for wine, which is prohibited by
the koran. and hence coffee drinking
was a violation Of Mohammeds law. To
prove that coffee drinking made per-
sons neglect religious duties they point
ed 10 the fact that while coffcc-houses
were multiplying the mosques were
empty. Chair Bey called "a counsel Of
physicians, priests, and lawyers. and,
on their advice, forbade absolutely the
use Of coffee. The police gathered all
coffee that could be found and burned
IT in the marlSet-place Afteryard he
reported 10 the sultan what he had
done and received the following note
in reply: Your physicians are asses.
Our lawyers and physicians Ia Cairo are
better informed They recommend the
use OF coffee, and 1 declare that no
faithful win lose Heaven because he
drinks coffee About twenty years
later a man IN Cairo preached against
coffee and declared that c0iiee-drinls-
ers were poor Mohammedans. Since
then coffee drinking has hecn unIno-
Tested and IL has become a favored
drink everywhere. Copenhagen Nord-

overruIed the suprerae oourt.


An Unprecedented case occurred
at FL. Smith Monday, when Judge
Parker overruled Justice White, Of
the United States Supreme Court,
in the case of Lafayette Hudson.
Hudson shot q man over in the
territory because he would not get
on his knees and pray. He was
convicted in Judge Parker's court,
and sentenced to four years inn
prisonment. The case was then
taken before the U. s. supreme
court, where Justice White entered
the order that Hudson be admitted
to bail in the sum of So, 900. II
was this order that Parker set
aside claiming that Justice White
had no right to order bail in the
case.
Judge Parker said he believed
his action unprecedented.
The synopsis of the opinion is
as follows: Lafayette Hudson was
convicted of assault and sentenced
to four years imprisonment. He
AlANh ~ lhOtAOu III a. utW AAA0ls AAN
filed bill of exceptions. He then
applied to Mr.. Justice White for
a writ of error and asked to be adj
mitted to bail. Mr.. Justice White
admitted him to bail in the sum of
s5, 600, subject to the approval of
the district judge. Judge Parker
holds that Justice White has no
right to admit him to Jail, and that
the rule of the supreme court
whereby he undertakes to do so is
invalid, because congress has given
the court no authority to make a
rule saying when persons shall be
admitted to bail; that it requires
legislative action to decide when
case is bailGble. Congress has
passed no law providing for bail
after conviction in a case Of this
kind. 1t is bound to become a
famous case.

Sloan Herald: Martin Riley,
son of Geo. Riley, proprietor of
the Fountain House, was assaulted
by a guard at the Saline payment
Tuesday. Martin was carrying a
small grip, and the guard taking
him to be one of the many whisky
peddlers infesting the vicinity,
halted him and wanted to search
his grip. Mr.. Riley resented and
started off, whereupon the guard
struck him with a Winchester pro-
ducing an ugly wound. Such reck-
lessness as this should be severely
punished. Il There was
considerable excitement in the city
Friday over the report that suspi-
cious characters were lurking in
the vicinity. There were eight
men in The gang and the first re-
port was that they were between
Oaks and Beck's mill heading this
way, all heavily armed with six
shooters and Winchesters. Friday
they were reported to be in this
immediate vicinity and guards
were placed at different places
near the bank with Winchesters,
and it is safe to say the gang would
have received a very warm recep-
ton had they ventured in. Seven
horsemen all heavily armed, rode
up to a house in the western part
of the city Thursday and made
some inquiries, stating they were
buying real estate, and the next
morning Bob Rogers, who is now
out N IN an p,S8,QQ0 bond for compile
territory a few months ago, was
seen in the city, and il is the pre-
sumption of many that he was in
some way connected with the gang
and was accommodating for it. See
ing that the citizens were on the
lookout the raid was abandoned.
Any attempt to raid the bank OF
stores will prove disastrous, and
if that is the object of this or any
other gang they had better make
their wills before they attempt it or
else not let the citizens have any
warning of their coming.

TWELVE YEARS OLD.

THE CHIErrAIN is twelve years
old today, and as a good newspa-
per in a good town i congratulates
itself that IL is as well with it as it
is. THE CHEFrArN has lived in
and been a part of the most inn
portant and the most remarkable
decade in the history of the nation.
The progress of not only the Cher
okee nation, but Of the entire west
has been simply phenomenal. The
development of the great northern
and western portion of the nation
has been very great, and while the
paper is interested in the progress
of the whole country, it is more
closely identified with the great
prairie sections Of Cooweescoowee
and Delaware districts. This re-
gion has been transformed from
howling waste into comfortable
farm homes and has built some ten
or twelve good sized country towns
and laid the foundation for and is
well on the way of construction Of
one of the best cities Of all the
west Vinita.
The CHIEFTAIN is especially
proud of the fact T. t it has been
chiefly through L columns that
this town and ser ion is so well
known abroad. In its pages have
been chconicled twelve years
of upward and onward move
ments. 1t has reJoiced at
every success that lts cltlzens nave
achieved, and has stood the cham
pion of the better element in every
emergency. Has recorded the
marriages, the births and deaths
of those who have composed our
population.
Great things are in store for vi
nita and the Cherokee nation
Great changes must necessarily
come to this country in the neal
future, and may every home be
preserved and every citizen b'
protected is the sincere wish o
