CHILTON's CREDENTIALS

Washington, Feb. 6.-Sen-
ator Coke laid before the SEN
ate the credentials of Horace
Chiffon as senator from Texas.
There has been some comment
aroused in regard to the certif-
Gates of the election of Texas
members of congress and the
News correspondent examined
the credentials of Mr.. Chiffon
to see if the comments, which
partook Of the nature of numer-
GUS criticismgby outsiders, were
justified. Usually senatorial
credentials are on parchment,
and decorated with fine rib
bon, etc. Mr.. Clinton's creden-
tails are on the ordinary paper,
typewriter, and the printing
ribbon Of the instrument was
about worn out, as the lettering
is extremely dim. A pale pink
ribbon, a quarter of an inch in
diameter, and very thin, is the
only ornament except the gilt
seal and the governors name,
which is written in purple ink.
There is nothing about it to
arouse criticism, and has about
1t the appearance of strict
economy all consistent with the
wise policy of the state to cut
down every conceivable ex-
pense. As one senator said to

other certificate of the kind.

His Lovely Indian Bride, and
Where She Sleeps.

Webber's Fall, Cherokee Nation,
|. t., Jan. 20.-Your correspondent
having spent nearly year at this
old historical Cherokee town, has
had an opportunity to learn some
thing of General Sam Houston's
life among the Indians, for this
was The IGNORED Texans first land
ing place. 1t was here that the Ten
nessee statesman found release from
worry, and it was IN this town,
some sixty years ago, that Houston
sold goods with ChiefJolly and at
the same time fell in love with the
chiefs beautiful niece, Tallihanna
Rogers, and married her. This mar
rage, though, did not occur, it
seems, until divorce had been
granted his Tennessee wife.
The lovely and accomplished
Tallihanna gave her devoted hus-
band but short season of happi~
ness, for in one year she died, and
the great man with his own hands
helped to bury her; and right now,
near the mouth of the beautiful
Illinois,in a lovely spot, is the grave,
with its native stone monument,
bearing the inscription, "Tallihaana
sleeps here"
The above are facts and can he
substantisted by the oldest Cherokee
settlers here. Many are still living
who remember wildly the incidents
connected with their removal from
Georgia over sixty years ago

AS a matter of fact, but one

before done. Moreover, the af-

AN efSectuaf solution of the
problem, how to raise the price
of cotton, might be found by
introducing the Mexican cotton
boil weevil into the cotton belt.
This would doubtless result in

unlIke Those of Any Other Country in the
 World.
 A hotel in India is in some respects quite unlike hotel anywhere else in the world. Every guest has servant of his or her own. The hotel has some servants, but the guests do not depend upon them at all. My servant takes care of my room, brings me my tea and toast when I arise, prepares my bath, and waits upon me at table. He also keeps my clothes clean and my boots blacked, sees to my laundry, gets me a carriage when l want one and does my errands. When travelling he will at tend to the tickets and the luggage and make my simple bed on the cars, for India is country of magnificent distances, involving considerable night travel. There are no regular sleeping cars, like ours, but the seats are long enough for the passengers to stretch out on and wide enough to make req sonable couch, which the traveller pro- vides with his own thin mattress, pill low and wraps. The number of serv- ants in a great hotel is confusing at first. In long corridor you see one before each door. They usually sleep there wrapped in sheet or blanket and curled up on the foor.-Scientitic American.

MICHIGAN'S BENEFACTOR
An Oft Repeated Story of True
 Philanthropy.
What Chas. H. Hackley Has Done for
 Western Michigan.

(From Grand Rapids, Mich, EUening Press.)
 The most beautiful spot in all this city is inseparably associated with the name of Hackley. Chas. H. Hackley has been in the lumber business here continuously since 1856 and in that time has amassed a fortune which gives him rating among the wealthy men of the nation. But with wealth there did not come that tightening of the purse strings which is generally marked char acteristic of wealthy men.
 It is not a wonder then that the name of Charles H. Hackley is known at home and abroad. His munifcence to Muskegon alone represents an outlay of nearly half a million. For the past twenty years he has been a constant sufferer from neuralgia and rheu- matism, also numbness of the lower limbs, so much so that 1t has seriously interfered with his pleasure in life. For some time past his friends have noticed that he has seemed to grow young again and to have recovered the health which he had in youth
 To reporter for the Press Mir. Haclley explained the secret of this transformation. 'I have suffered for over 20 years," he said, with pains in my lower limbs so severely, that the only relief could get at night was by putting cold water congresses on my limbs. Twas bothered more at night than in the day time. The neuralgia and rheu- matic pains in my limbs, which had been growing in intensity for years, finally be- came chronic. I made three trips to the Hot Springs with only partial relief and then fell back to my original state. couldn't sit still and my sufferiugs began to make life look very blue. Two years ago last September noticed an account of Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and what they had done for others, and some cases so nearly resembled mine that l was interested, so I wrote to one who had given testimo moniai, an eminent professor of music in Canada. The reply received was even stronger than the printed testimonial and it gave me faith in the medicine.
 "l began taking the pills and found them to be all that the professor had told me they would be. It was two or three months be- fore experienced any perceptible better ment of my condition. My disease was of such long standing that l did not expect speedy recovery and was thankful even to be relieved. progressed rapidly, however, towards recovery and for the last six months have felt myself perfectly well man. have recommended the pills to many people and am only too glad to assist others to health through the medium of this wonder ful medicine. l cannot say too much for what it has done for mel
