Acting secretary heBnotdS approves the
AGENTS Acts.
WASHINGTON. D. c., July 27.-The
actions of Captain Beck, U. s. A., Indian
agent of the Omaha and Winnebago
Indians, has been approved by the
Department of the Interior in the
matter of evicting the tenants of
the Flournoy Company from the
lands of the Indians. Acting Secretary
Reynolds of the Interior Department late
this evening replied to the telegram of the
Congressional delegation stating that the
department approved of the manner in
which Captain Beck had proceeded, as it
was in accordance with the decision of the
United States court at st. Louis that the
Flournoy Sompang leases were illegal.
Acting. Secretary Reynolds suggested to
the delegation that the settlers protect
themselves by taking out leases under de-
partmental regulations.

the Call to Oakland.
BOSTON, MASS, July 27.-Rev. Nehe-
miah Boynton, pastor the Union Congre-
gational Church, who had received call
to Oakland, Cal, has declined. The invi-
tation came informally to give Mr.. Boyn-
ton an opportunity to look over the field.
Had he intlmated willingness to accept,
formal one would have followed from
the church, which was known to be unani-
nous in its desire to engage the Boston
pastor.
Mr.. Boynton, however. has decided not
to allow the church to take this step, and
he will not leave Boston and his parish.
The California church at Oakland is one of
the largest in point of membership on the
Pacific Slope; in fact, twice as large as is
Mr. Boynton's present charge.

PACKING MACKEREL IN ICE.
An Important Fish Case Heard by Judge
Putnam.

BOSTON, October "a "A case of much
imnortance was heard in the United
States circuit court by Judge Putnam
this forenoon.
The plaintiffs are belong and Seaman
fish dealers. and the defendant is the
limited States.
The case is a petition for review of a
decision of the board of general appraisers
made January "A, 1895, sustaining the
decision of the collector of the port of
Boston in assessing duty upon an i'm
nortation of fresh mackerel at one half of
one cent per pound under paragraph 21O,
section of the tariff act of 1894 which
reads: "Herring, picked, frozen or
salted and salt water fish frozen or
packed in ice, one half of one cent per
pound.
The petitioners claim that fresh
mackerel packed in ice are free under
section two, item 4S1 of the free list of
the tariff act of 1884, which admits duty
free, "fish frozen or packed in ice fresh. :"
The question presented is, which clause
is to prevail in the matter of fresh
mackerel.

(E. V. Smalley in Chicago Times Her
Some day there will be popular move
ment to curb the rapaeity of the lawyers.
I know an instance where three lawyers,
employed by receivership, were retained
by one of the receivers to defend him
against charges of misconduct in the
management Of railroa d. They charged
$40, 900 apiece as their fees and took the
money out of the treasury of the bank.
rupt corporation they were regularly
serving as attorneys. I know another
case of a lawyer being employed to at
tend to little business connected with
the transfer of the ownership of gas
comp any. His services would have been
literally compensated with $500. He had
a lot of securities in his hands and he
put in bill for SO 666, and got the
money before he would give up the Sc
curities. Another case came to my
notice lately of the same sort OF illegal
robbery. A jobbing house sent out a col
lection to a lawyer in Montana for S., 900.
The lawyer brought suit, collected the
money and kept it all, sending in bill
for So 600 for his services. On smaller
scale, but in the same line. is case in
this city. A firm gave % lawyer bill of
Sl75 to collect He collected it, but
failed for long time to report Oh it.
After a number of letters had been sent
him asking him to call and settle he sent
in a bill for $500 for collecting the S175.
Many eminent lawyers avowedly scale
their fees to the amount of money in
volved in the legal Proceedings in which
they are retained and not at all by the
amount of work involved. Apply this
profession and doctor who saves a
mans life would be warranted in taking
a large share of his property. 1t takes
no more brains and no more experience
to be a good lawyer than to be a good
journalist, yet the good lawyer ordinarily
charges thousand dollars for an amount
of skill for which the good journalist
would be glad to get hundred.

THE WOMEN OF CHINA AND JAPAN.
Comparison Favorable to Those of
China.
(From Col. Cockerill's Japanese Cores
pondence in New York Herald

(From Col. Cockerill's Japanese Cores
pondence in New York Herald.)
While I must confess to but little per-
sonal liking for the dark skinned races,
must admit that, outside the coolie
classes, the Japanese women seem to me
quite pretty. They are always neat;
their baby faces always seem so innocent
and their manners are simply gracious
ness itself. An Australian missionary
named Morrison has just written a book,
in which he declares that prettier women
are found in China than in Japan. l do
not know what his claim to expertness
may be, but as he is a clergyman I will
respect his opinion. However, chacun a
son govt, Brother Morrison says that he
saw Ping-shan- pa a woman married
to an English sailor who was an exquis-
lite type of beauty. He adds:
II have seen girls in China who would
be considered beautiful in any capital in
Europe. The attractiveness of the Jap
anese lady has been the theme of many
writer's, but, speaking as an impartial
observer who has been both in China and
Japan, have never been able to come to
any other decision than that in every
feature the Chinese woman is superior to
her japanese sister. She is head and
shoulder above the Japanese. She is
more Intellectual, or, rather, she is capa-
BILE of more Intellectual development. She
is incomparably more chaste> more and
modest She is prettier, sweeter and
more trustworthy than the cackling little
dot with black teeth that we are asked to
admire as japanese beauty
AS [ never saw handsome chinese
woman or one even approximating come
illness, / cannot maintain an argument
with Brother Morrison. | give him for
what he is worth, but | would add that
women in Japan who black their teeth
are not ranked in the beauty class. They
are married women. I have seen some
very pretty country girls IN the United
true womanhood-who had married their
pulchritude with the traces of huckleber
ries on their teeth, and that is precisely
the effect that Japanese woman imparts
to her countenance when she advertises
the fact that she has husband by black
ing her teeth. This hiaeous custom,
am pleased to say. is rapidly dying out
in Japan. Miss Bird, lady VINO travelled
far and profoundly in Japan, and who
has written a most readable book there
on, praises the virtues Of Japanese
women, and credits them with being
good under the most trying conditions
Mrs Smith, who edited newspaper here
for some years, declares that the women
of Japan are UNNECESSARILY superior to
the men-but she may have her prejudic
es. A Miss Bacon, who has written a
book emitted Japanese Girls and
Women pays fine tribute to their gen.
tleness, their self-deyoGion and their no.
bility of character

THE SHAKERS DO THEIR DUTY.

eff man discovers a valuable
medicine, said Horace Greeley, sit is
his duty to advertise it," Yes, and at
once; for suffering demands the speediest
relief possible. But let the man first be
sure. Suffering had better wait than be
deluded by false hopes. Medicine, like
surgery, must often seem cruel in order
to be really kind. On this principle the
Shakers of Mt Lebanon, N. Y. with
held their great Indigestion and dyspepsia
remedy from the public for several years.
With them right-doing is everything
money, comparatively nothing. Hence
the popularity and success OF whatever
they offer for sale. Having satisfied
themselves of the merit of their medicine
by employing it in the worst cases of
digestive disorders in their own vicinity
for years, they did their duty-they ad-
vertised it, under the name of the Shaker
Digestive Cordial In all cases where
there is distress after eating, pain IN the
stomach, chest and back; aversion TO
food with the resulting symptoms, such
as headache, furred tongue, eructatlon OF
gas, with weakness and loss of flesh, etc,
the Cordial has a most happy effect. DO
ing itself digested food with power to
digest other foods it relieves the weak
and possibly inflamed stomach of the
labor it is in no condition to perform,
gives new strength to the body and
presently restores to the digestive organs
their normal vigor. Taken Immediately
after eating this remedy insures the
digestion Of the meal and prevents the
fermentation of the food, which is the
source of most of the affective symptoms
which accompany dyspepsia. 1t is also as
agreeable to the taste as it is potent as
medicine To show their own confidence
in it, and to hasten its universal
adoption, the Shakers authorize druggists
to sell trial bottles at the nominal price
of ten cents.

TO REACH THE POLE.
jackson Says Go BY Overland Trips
to be Successful.

London, October 23.-Yacht Windward,
which returned yesterday from Franz
Josefand, brought Jackson's sealed
records of the expedition up to July s. on
which date the vessel left Franz Josefand
The mission of the Windward here is to
bring dispatches to Mr. Harmsworth,
who bears the whole cost of the expedi-
ton and to take on board a store of
provisions and ammu n ition. She will
then go back to Franz Josef1and and take
ON board Mr.. Jackson's party.
1t is said that experience has proved
Mr.. Jackson's theory that more is
aohievable in the direction of north polar
research by going overland than in ships.
During sixty five days struggle in the
ice to Vardo, the Windward ran short of
coal and was compelled to use her
"'tween decks planking, her foretop-
gallant mast and bulwarks for}fuel. No
visitors are allowed on board the vessel
now.

every home and so admirably adapted to
the purposes for which it is intended, as
Chamberain's Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch of
rheumatism or neuralgia quieted. The
severe pain of burn or scald promptly
elieved and the sore healed in much less
time than when medicine has to be sent
for. A sprain may be promptly treated
before Inflammation sets in, which in
sures cure in about one-third of the
time otherwise required. Cuts and bruis-
es should receive immediate treatment
before the parts become swollen, which
can only be done when Pain Balm is kept
at hand A sore throat may be cured be-
fore it becomes serious. A troublesome
corn may be removed by applying it
twice Il day for ii week or two. A lame
back may be cured and several days Of

The cat had been doing something which
made the man mad, and he determined
to end her days in a rush. To do this he
caught up the broom and made swing
at Tabby. The cat didn't want to die and
diyed under the mans wife, upsetting
her, so that the woman caught the force
of the blow in the stomach, and the man
in running after the cat fell over his
wife, upsetting the table, breaking the
lamp and nearly setting the house on fire.
