Oklahoma Looking Toward Statehood

Oklahoma will make strong bid for
statehood at the next session of Congress,
and westerners are gathering arguments to
push its claim. One of these is the re-
markable progress made by the territory, as
shown by the report of its governor. AL
ready there are 275, 200 people in its Dor
ders, against 1900 white people in Ari-
IONA, which will be OklahOma's rival for
admission to the Union-and most of these
a much better class of citizens. Its taxa

$40, 900 200 for Marriage Settlement.

Miss VandeIbilt's marriage portion is
said to be $4,000, 900. 1t has condition
attached to it that the income from this
sum shall be for the use of the future duch-
ess during her lifetime. At her death the
principal goes to the issue of her marriage
with the Duke of Marlboro. 1t is under
stood that upon his side the prospective
bridegroom decided to Miss Vanderbilt
large estates in England, which have been
in the family for years. While the intrin-
sic value of these estates may not be equal
to Mr.. Vanderbilt's gift to his daughter,
yet they have heretofore always been con-
sidered too valuable to pass out of the
Marlboro family.

The Pension Commissioner Report.

The annual report of the pension COM
missioner shows that up to June 80, 1894,
there were $780, 44 pensioners and during
the past year 80, 1856 new pensions were
granted and 4206 restored, making an ag-
gregate roll of 1,012,935. There were 81
816 deaths and 14,575 pensions dropped
during the past year, making the number
on the rolls on June 80, 1895, $40, 1924, an
increase during the year of $50. Unless
further pension legislation is enacted the
commissioner thinks the appropriation of
SAC, 900, 600 will be sufficient for the pay
ment of pensions for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1896.

Cows Milk as Food.

A physician, writing in a recent num-
Dor of hygicnic publication, states that
cows milk is not fit food for the human
stomach. He says that it forms into curtls
i'll tho stomach, which are indigcstiblc and
cannot be properly assimilatcd. He says
further that it is food only suitable for
the animal for which it is intcntled-thc
calf-which, having several stomachs, can
properly dispose of it. This, as far as it
goes, appears TO be an ovcrturning of the
hygicnic teaching heretofore in respect to
foods. 1t has been impressed ON the hui
man mind that cows milk is the ideal
food, containing all the constituents nee
essary for human sustenancc. Persons
have complained from timo to time that it
did not agree with them; that it produced
biliousncss and that they could not drink
1t, but the only reply was some plying
comment on the state of their stomach,
with the rcmark that st doesn't agree
with some persons" The physician who
advances the new theory insists that it does
not agree with anybody.

Honesty Rewarded In This Life.

The case presented in last nights pa
per of reward of $40 being paid for the
return of $50 reminds me of a similar an
ecdote-only different" said tho ancient
New England member of tho club this
morning. 1T happened in Providence r.
l., 40 years ago when the city contained
but one millionaire, who was an old
Scotchman named Alexander Duncan
One day Mr.. Duncan, in leaving his office,
dropped large roll of bank notes IN the
street. They escaped his eye, but not that
of the small boy who is around every
where, and who pounccd upon the bills
immediately. The roll contained 5000.
When MIR. Duncan received it he eagerly
counted the money and finding it correct,
he turned to the boy and said: L thank,
we, my little man. Then noticing the
look of dismay in the poor lads countc-
nance, he felt in his trousers pocket and
fishcd out coin, which he handed to the
finder of his wealth. And the coin repre-
sesnted-what do you Think"
Five dollars
ga dollar"
IA half dollar
"A quarter of dollar
"Just half of that. 1t was an old Span-
1sh coin that we used to call ninepence
In New England and that you called a
shilling in New York. In other words it
was 12a cents which Alexander Duncan,
the millionaire of Providence, paid to the
honest boy who found and returned to him

Superiority I'm Every Point OF Sailing
ana Had 10 Minutes to Spare.

CANNES, March 14.--In q light south
east breeze, which promised to increase In
strength, Ailsa, Britannia and Corsair
started at II o'clock this morning In the
race for the Ogden Goelet and the James
Gordon Bennett challenge cup No. !, valued
at 800 guineas, for all yachts over
2O-rating. From the moment of crossing
the line, Ailsa pulled away from Britannia
and in five minutes bad a long lead. 1t
was said II she continued sailing at that
rate she was bound to win by over Is
minutes.
The course today was triangular and
about thirty miles In length. The first
mark boat was of st. Honorat Island, the
second mark was off Point Aiguille
and the third mark was the home
buoy, which, forming an imaginary line
ashore, was the starting point and finish
ing mark. The promenade and all other
similar points ashore were again crowded
with people eager TO witness the contest
for the challenge cup, now held by
the Britannia, and which must be
won three times by the same owner, in
order to become the property OF the win
ner. Ailsa allows Britannia minute 13
seconds over this course, and she allows
Corsair 10 minutes AZ seconds, which
must be sailed around three times.
Mr.. Ogden Goelct's steam yacht, Whyte
Ladye, and other yachts have large parties
on board all eager to see II the new cutter
could repeat her performance of last
Thursday, when she won her maiden race,
defeating Britannia by ! minute, q
seconds corrected time and under the dis
advantage of weak mast w hich prevented
her carrying top sail the last round. The
Prince of Wales drove to the quay some
time before the race and embarked In the
launch belonging to Mr.. Richard Wins
low, which conveyed him on board
Britannia. The Prince OF Wales party on
board his cutter today included Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard Winslow, the latter wearing
a Britannia ribbon.
The speed OF the Ailsa in beating to
windward Is pronounced by experts to be
really phenomenal. The times of the
yaches on rounding the st. Houorat mark
boat on the first round were:
