Topeka, Kan. Dec. 21.-(SpeciaL)-A

Alexander Fyndlay Financial Agent 4
& Bunker building, Kansas City, ask

of the United States. 1t declares that
the clients who won the case in the
Kansas supreme court are unable TO
follow it higher where it has been ap-
pealed and that the. loan companies
and the Santa Fe railroad have made
arrangements to fight for the other side
OF the question-that is to get the su-
preme court to decide the law unconSti-

1t is regarded here as a very queer
proceeding for attorneys of standing TO
enter into any such scheme. Following
Is a copy of the letter:
Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 1s, 1895.
Dear Sfr-The plaintiff in error in the
case of Beverly VS.. Barnitz is without
means to carry the controversy before
the supreme court of the United States.
If you are interested in that court
holding the redemption law of 1893 con-
stitutionaa, or have clients who are in
terested, will you kindly send such
amount as you think proper to the I'M
deTsigned, to be expended in this now
celebrated case.
Your subscription will entitle you to
a copy of the late decision of the su-
preme court of Kansas by return mail,
and also copy of the decision of the
supreme court of the United States i'm
mediately on its rendition. The inten-
ton is to employ the Hon. William j.
Scott of Kansas City, the attorney who
made the supreme court reverse its
former decision, and such other able
counsel as the means furnished widl au-
thou-ize.
The loan companies have organized
and subscribed largely and it is under
stood that the Santa Fee has subscrib-
ed and retained the Hon. Geo. r. Peck
to appear in the supreme court.

Thefts RepOrted.

This morning there was a report in po-
Ice circles that burglars had blown open a
safe in South Washington and had made a
good haul. The report, however, proved
to be without foundation, and was circu-
lated because of safe robbery at the
VIC cd and coal yard of Mrs. S. c. Carter, on
d street between 10th and 18th streets.
The office door had been opened by some
one who had a duplicate key. and the iron
safe that had been left open was robbed Of
twenty Columbian half dollars, a IS gold
piece and about s. N change. Two small
drawers in the safe were broken open.
Jacob Wittel, whose residence is given
as North Capitol street and Florida ave-
i, nue., reports to the police that when he
reached the~Baltimore and Potomac depot
in this city several days ago he was taken
to a house in an alley near the depot and
robbed of S35 and satchel containing
clothing. The satchel was found on Maine
avenue.
r. L. Christian reports the theft from the
Forester House of an overcoat.

day. and announced that he had not been
murdered, and that he had come for the
s25 reward for information as to his Where's

been advertising for Information concern
ing George William Northedge replied by
telling him there were f50O0O0 waiting for
him in England. This did not surprise or
elate him. Then he told the men present
he had not been murdered, but had stayed
in retirement for a year because so many
people were trying to divorce him from
his money by unlawful means.

Exhibited a Nude Model.

Prof. Thomas Eakins, noted as an artist
and sculptor, and more particularly as q
lecturer on artistic anatomy, brought out q
nude male model on Monday in his mixed
class in the Drexel Institute. at Philadel-
phia, where a nude model had never before
been employed. AS a result, the profess
sor's course of lectures has been discontin-
ued. DIR. James MacAlister, president Of
the institute. has no quarrel with Prof.
Eakins' ideas of the use of the nude model
but thought 1t best that the series for
which the professor was engaged be dis
continued" He said that it had been dis
tinctly stipulated before the lectures were
arranged for that there should be no nude
models

THE OLD CHOCTAw CLAIM.
Suits Growing Out of the Amount Coll
lectcd by Mckee.

Suits Growing Out of the Amount Col
lectcd by Mckee.
Interest has been revived to some ex-
tent in the old Choctaw claim, which at
tracted general attention five or six years
ago. by the hearing now in progress in
the Supreme Court Of the United States
for a REHABILITATION of the claims Of GER
tain attorneys.
The case goes back for many years. It
was originated through the fundamentally
of the late Gen. Albert Pike, and was bas-
ed upon a claim for lands taken from the
Choctaw Indians, but it was finally set
tied in 1889 by the payment of about ST.
100000 awarded by judgment in the SUI
preme Court.
While the matter was pending in the
courts and in Congress number Of at
torneys and agents became interested in
it. among them being one Henry E. Nc
kee, who held contract for 30 per cent of
the judgment, whatever it might be. After
the Choctaw claim was allowed, other at
torneys applied to the courts of the Dis
trict of Columbia for an injunction, which
was granted, to prevent Mckee's collect
ing the entire amount from the treasury.
There was an informally in the writ serv-
ed upon him, however, and he collected the
money called for by his contract, amount
ing to about $SooOoo. and left the country.
He subsequently turned $162o00 OF the
amount over to the local court, but 1t was
not sufficient to meet all the demands,
and was divided pro rata among those
whose claims were considered to be proved.
This settlement was unsatisfactory, and
the cases now being argued in the Supreme
Court grow out of it.
Cases Now Being Argued.
Among those to whom payments were
made were John H. b. Latrobe of Baltt-
more and Ward Lamon, at one time a law
partner of President Lincoln. There are
five of the present cases. One is brought
at the instance of Mckee against the La
mon estate and another against the La
trobe estate, he claiming that they were
not entitled to anything; another by La
mon and Chauncey Black of Pennsylvania
to compel a complete settlement: the
fourth by the executor of the late John
F. Cochrane, who was one of the original
attorneys in the case against Mckee, La
mon and Latrobe, and the last by James
Gilfillan and others against Mckee. Lamon
and Latrobe. Mckee, it appears, is still
absent from the country, and his where
aboutS are unknown.
The argument was begun Wednesday,
after the conclusion of the argument In
the income tax cases, consumed the entire
day yesterday and is still in progress. A
large number of counsel are engaged in 1t,
including Messrs jeff Chandler j. J. Weed,
Enoch Totten, Reginald Fendall, James
Coleman. Nathaniel Wilson. A. B. Duvall
and Calderon Carlisle.

Maj. Powell, Engineer Commissioner OF
the District today, in discussing the pro-
posal to drain the sewage of Kensington
into Rock creek, said to a Star reporter
that If the proposed action were taken
the waters of the creek, of course, would
be polluted, thus menacing the health Of
the people of Washington. 1t would also.
he said, be detrimental to the attractive
ness of Rock Creek Park. Maj. Powell
added that If the Kensington people at

was presented TO the governor several
years ago by the person who took it from
the stomach of deer. The valuable lit

color. One end tapers TO a blunt point;
the other is hattened and has an aper-
ture through which the spongy. porous
interior may be plainly seen. When in
use, the opening is applied directly over
the wound, and the pithy substance
which forms the interior Of the stone Is
supposed To "suck out" and absorb the

It Weighed Too Much for the StoutesS
Russian Soldiers.
One Of the interesting features Of the
late cars funeral was, rs usual, the two
men clad in medieval armor, one on
horseback and the other ON foot.
The mounted knight had his visor
open, and his armor was Of FURNISHED
gold, which glittered in the sun. BE
symbolized life.
The other was ON foot. His armor
was coal black steel His visor was
closed, and IN his hand he bore drawn
two handed sword, the blade of which
was shrouded in Grape. He symbolized
death.
The weight Of these two suits Of ar
NOR is so great that, Notwithstanding
the most gigantic men Of the imperial
guard being selected 10 don them, the
one ON foot who officiated at the obse-
quies of Emperor Nicholas fell dead
from exhaustion ON reaching the church
of SIS. Peter and Paul, where the impe-
rial mausoleum is situated While at the
