INTERESTING PAPER.
Read By Mrs. V. 4. NIbIaek Before the
First Presbyterian Sunday School
Her Idea Of Model Teacher.

Among the papers read before the
First Presbyterian Sunday school
last Surday was one by Mrs. v. a.
Niolack on the model Sunday school
teacher, which is given below as fol-
lows:
In presenting the model teacher TO
nv fellow teachers I have only to
place before you, Christ, our ideal
teacher.
I call attention TO the simplicity Of
ou- Savior language. Clear as
crystal through which the objects Of
na.u-e are seen in bold relief, were
those sublime wo-is which embodied
the great truths which he uttered.
Ills simple illustrations were taken
from the commonest things. a hen
with her little chickens, a candle,
salt, taught rs love and duty. Again
our Savior's teaching was character
lied by energy and perseverance.
Through heat and dust be pushed
ais way from village to village, and
city TO city. Rising early in the
morning, while it was still dark, an /
his CON anions slept, he made prep
araLon for his work by &C - 0 is
father for strength for tha days
needs. IL Christ, the son OF God,
needed their prep: ration for his
teaching how much more prepara-
ton by prayer and the study Of Gods
word do we need to take his plac :
aid his work.
And again, how great was the love
of our C,eat teacher which led him
to give his life for Gods children. So
day by dcy we ought to die unto self
laying ourselves unreservediy upon
Gods altar, and making every sac
rifice f. tn children in our care.

CLAIM GREER COUNTY.
The choctaws and chIekassws File Their
Claim TO That TerrItory ALLEGED to
be Part Of Leased District.

WAsHINGToS, ID. C., April IA
formidable document has been pre-
sented in both branches of congress,
and also served upon the president,
he secretary Of the interior and the
a -orney general. 1t sets forth the
aim of the Choetav-s and Chicha-
saws to Greer county, recently de-
creed by the supreme court to be
part of the Indian Territory rather
than part of Texas. The memorial
declares that Greer county ns within
the boundaries of a region known as
the ''leased dis.r'ct," upon which
the United States acquired the right
to settle with friendly Indians. The
leased district is bounded east by
the 9sth degree of longitude, west by
the Tooth degree, north by the Cana
dian ana south by the Red river.
There is now pending before the court
of claims a suit to establish this same
kind of a claim over the reservation
of the Wichitas. a copy OF the br ef
of the Choctaws and Chickasaws in
the Wichita case is II ade a part of
the notice served. The notice con-
cludes:
THE object of and reason for the
presentation of this memorial is to
notify the United States that should
the government attemp TO sell the
lands embraced in the said Greer
county, or to make any disposition
of them other than the settlement
thereon of friendly Indians, your
memorialists will insist upon pay
ment in full being made by the Unit
ed States for the value of the inter
est Of your memorialists, and that
they will prosecute their claim there
for in every legitimate and proper
way. Your memo=ialists make
known their claim to an interest in
said lands to the end that should tie 1
United States decide to sell or dis /
pose of them otherwise than by the |
settlement of friendly Indians, they |.
may do so, having in view the claim .

neys of both tribes and by j. 5. /.

dition will go on Wednesday if the

all subjects of her majesty would have
most sincere sympathy for Italy and
expressed regret at the defeat of Gem
eral Baratierl. This statement brought
forth loud nationalist cries of mo. "
Curzon said the courage OF the 1tal-
ians led to the hope that they would
rise from their reverseS and vindicate
the honor of their flag. AT the pres
ent moment" he said, influences are
at work and forces are unclaimed in
Central Africa, which, if flushed with
victory and swollen by perfectly pos
sible combination of events, would con-
stitute a most serious danger, not
merely to Italy, Egypt or British &C.
cupation of Egypt, but to the cause
Of Europe, which is the cause of civili-

Throughout Curzon's speech the Irish
members inserjected cries of "Oh!'
When T H. NJ. Healy, among Others
cried mo to the under secretary's eH-
preston of sympathy with Italy,
Healy's followers cheered, and the
speaker paused for an instant. He

The government. however, did not

was the best method of producing a
diversion in favor of the Italians and
involving no risk to England. The
Egyptian government. he maintained,
was not launching a policy of adven-

a TRIAL IN STORE.
Supposed FiIibusterers Will Have to
Run the Gauntlet.


KEY WEST, Fla, March 16.-Before
the steamships Bermuda, Three
Friends and Commodore, each suppos-
ed to be carrying a filibustering expedi-
ton to Cuba, reach the island they
have to run the gauntlet of a number
of Spanish warships now cruising off
the east coast of Florida. Three days
ago three Spanish warships appeared
off the south beach of the island of
Key West For days the vessels how
cred about ten or twelve miles out,
apparently watching for filibusterers.
Yesterday afternoon the Spanish vice
consul went out to one of the vessels
in steam launch and, it is supposed,
gave the commander some information
relative to the movements of the sus-
pected steamers. Immediately after
the vice-consul left the vessel the three
cruisers sailed away toward the north.
The supposition is that they will pa
troll the east coast of Florida watching
for the Bermuda, the Three Friends
and the Commodore
There is said to be large number
cf men camDed on one of the Florida
keys north of here who expect to be
taken off by one. of the three suspects.
The key is in United States waters,
however, and it is not believed that
the Spanish will dare to interfere with
the men. So far as known the United
States officials have received no orders
to watch for the suspected cruisers.

The Colorado War.

CHICAGO, March 16.-The Union Pa
cific, Denver & Gulf has made another
reduction in rates between Colorado
common points, and has announced
that it will hereafter keep % cents
lower between Colorado common points
than either the Denver e. Rio Grande
or the Atchison. The reduction today
was 20 cents below the sum of the
locals now in effect. The disposition
Of the Atchison was at first to meet
the rates, but it was requested by the
Denver & Rio Grande not to do so,
but to meet them only as far as the
time limit on the reduced rate tickets
is concerned. The Atchison took this
advice and did not meet the rates nor
it is likely that it will do so immedi-
ately.
A committee of arbitration on rates
in Texas and the southwest was in
session today but managed to do little
more than get through with the formu-
lation of a general programme for its
work during the next few days The
object is simply to apply the long and
short haul clause to rates between
Kansas and Nebraska and the south
west and between New Orleans and
Galveston. -

GUTHRIE, o. T., March 16.-At the
Doggy Creek court ground in the Choc-
taw ma ion, Charles Homes, a full
blood Indian, was convicted of muir
der and sentenced to be shot March q,
between the hours of 10 and o'clock.
On the second day of last November
Homes went to the house of his wife's
son-in-law, Wilson Katiatubbi, living
rear Stringtown, and while he and his
wife were in bed asleep crept into the
house with an axe and chopped his
head open. He then forced his wife
to go with him, threatening to kill her
IN case she refused. The first oppor-
tunity she had she made her escape
and told what had happened.
According to Choctaw customs,
Homes is no. in prison or in the GUS
tody of officers. He will be allowed
TO roam about at his own sweet will
until the day of execution. This is an
old law of the Choctaws, and only one
case of a violation of it is on record.
On execution day HonIes will be
dressed in black robe and stationed
iii the court ground. A tin star two
inches square will be placed over his
heart as a target and he will stand on
his own coffin. Twelve Indians, sta
toned thirty PAGES away, will shoot
at the target, but only two of the guns
will be loaded. Only court attendants
are allowed to witness this execution.

Never Said n Word.

NEW YORK, March ia dispatch
to the Herald from Madrid says: Mem
bers of the Cuban autonomist party
resident in Madrid state that their fol-
lowers have come to no understanding
with the Cuban constitutional union
party regarding the elections.
On the contrary, they assert that
they have not said the least word. They
proceed to announce as probable that
the directive junta of their party has
adopted decisive attitude upon this
point 1t is evident that the elections
in the island have not been salts
factory. The belief prevails that the
present government will encounter diff
ficulties in solving the problem
General dissatisfaction was expressed
here in political and ministerial cir
cles regarding the unsatisfactory news
from Havana to the effect that the in
surgents had re-entered the province of
Pinar del Rio. The success of the in
surgents is considered a severe blow
at the military tactics of the Span
iSh army.
At a meeting in Barcelona yesterday
400 members of the military club pass
ed vote of confidence in General Az
caraga, who offered to remain in active
service without expectation of pay or
promotion.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Press
this morning says:
Despite the efforts of the Spanish
consuls ministers and spies in this
country: in the face of the loss of the
steamship j. W. Hawkins, and the seiz-
ure by United States marshals of the
steamship Bermuda, the Cubans in this
vicinity have now upon the sea, bound
for the islands whose freedom is the
one thought of their lives, that identi-
cal cargo of ammunition of the steam
ship.
On another vessel it is understood is
a LOT more men who are to be trans
ferred to the Bermuda on the high
seas.
day morning 1t was shortly after S
a. m. when she got uD her anchor 10
o'clock when she passed Sandy Hook
and about noon when she distanced the
fleet of the newspaper tugs that follow
ed her to sea. The air was filled with
rumors yesterday. Thomas Estrada
Palma has disappeared from town and
General ClaXito Garcia left his home
early in the morning and had not re-
turned at a late hour last night. The
report was that they had sailed for
Cuba and that it was the intention of
the patriots to perfect the system of
government in Cuba in order to induce
more substantial support from other
countries, including the United States,
than that of mere sympathy. The law
of this country prohibited the vessel
from loading her decks down to the
waters edge with gunpowder and arms
for the insurgents in Cuba, and in all
forty tons of ammunition and guns
