FORK IN THE ROAD.
Delegate Douglas at a Point Where lie
Must Have Support or Return Home
NAL. zuekerman ToIks-
ARDMoRE, L. T., Jan. 13, '96.

EDITOR ARDMoREITE:
take pleasure in handing you a let
ter received today -om our delegate,
Mr.. Q. B. Douglas. The letter ex-
plains itself.
Douglas is poor man, so far as
worldly goods are concerned, but is
prince among men when it comes to
patriotism or public spirited actions.
He left his family and his business,
for what? For his own interest and
aggrandizement No. He left, be-
cause he thought he could help us all,
and 1 honestly believe there is no
man in the Chickasaw Nation today
that, taking all the circumstances in
to consideration, could have done our
cause as much good as Douglas has
done us.
Now what have we done for him
The paltry sum of $500 has been
raised so far. For what? Was it for
his family? No again. 1t was to
pay his railroad fare to Wash lgton
and pay his hotel bill while he was
| working IOr our lnlSTeslS-
There is no use to look to any of
the other towns for support in that
direction. The enlightened cirizens
of Wynnewood say they will not con-
tribute towards Douglas expenses
because he is Republican. Pauls
Vally is trying to start a quarrel be-
cause it is cheaper to do that than to
pull out some money, consequently
we must look to ourselves to keep
Douglas in Washington. We must
bear the burden, as we have always
done, and it will be cheaper for us to
do it than to pay Mr.. Townsite Com
missioner $500 or $4,000 for corner
lot.
Let us keep Douglas in Washing
ton, sustain him morally and finan-
cially, and if fate is against us any
how, we know we have done our
duty and cannot reproach ourselves
afterward.
/ hope our citizens will awaken to
the necessity of getting up the neces-
sary means and do it cheerfully. Dc
not let the committee, Messrs. An
derson and Herbert, talk to you too
long. Their time is valuable and they
spend it for our good.
s. ZUCKERMAN.
THE LETTER.
The letter from Mr.. Douglas spoken
OF is as follows
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. IL, '96. =.
Mai. S. Zuckerman:
write to ask what l am to expect,
of the committee on funds. l left
the FIVE weeks ago. Have had 5000
all told, which is about exhausted.
Will not permit myself to appear as a
financial beneficiary by my own re-
quest of the people of the Chickasaw
Nation.
l shall make a draft tomorrow on
Messrs. Anderson and Herbert fol
s1OG, which l have a right to expect
to be paid. believe you are greatly
interested in my mission and a sue
cessful issue, and will advise me o.
the situation there.
There is "fork in the road" con
! fronting me. With financial suppor
stay. Without it will be forced t.
leave.
Kindly let me hear from you a
vour earliest convenience and oblig'

WHY PEOPLE GO TO HE'LL.
Mrs. Bennett Tells the Handlers
SMedepborsss Yiew of IL.

The Ramblers listened yesterday to a
lecture by Mrs. ]. A. Bennett of Nyack,
on "Swederborg and neutrality-suspicious. .
Mrs. Bennett read a paper on Sweden
borg. telling of his life and the manner in
which he came to write his doctrines.
She adduced as evidence OF his pure
purpose The writings of contemporary
men. who spoke of his life as one Of the
most beautiful ever lived. At the close
of her paper Miss Myers said there were
some questions the Ramblers had been
unable to answer satisfactorily to them
selves and she proceeded to question
Mrs. Bennett. To the question of
S~wendeborg's acceptance of the Atone
ment CT Christ, Mrs. ennet answered
that he be.eved that Christ came to the
world to save sinners, but that he did
not save them through the crucifixion;
It is the acceptance Of the people whom
the Divine Being that saves them.
Answering a question in regard 20
Sw~edenborg's doctrine of marriage, Mrs.
Bennett said the subject was SO very
satisfactorily in the little time given her,
but she said S~wedenborg believed a per-
fec. marriage to be a perfect balance Of
this perfect balance obtained an earth.

people who had nothing but the carnal

There is no marriage in the carnal sense,
but there is the perfect union of mind,

stated as among the beliefs of Sweden

ROMAN CHURCH AND eAVONAROLA
Both Were Discussed by n ODD
Volumes Yesterday.

The Odd Volumes Club was entertained
yesterday afternoon by Miss Harrison at
the residence of her cousin, Mrs. Towar,
West Side Avenue. The discussion Of the
relative merits of English and American
novels was postponed for one month, and
the regular subject of the day was taken
up. Mrs. Marshall had a paper on The
Roman Church; its schisms, orders, and
crusade but she spoke instead Of the
heres.es of the church and the doctrine
of the Immaculate Conception
Miss Helen Noble read an exceedingly
able paper on Savonarola. She gave a
clear, concise and comprehensive sketch
of his life and work. speaking of him as
the one who prepared the way for the
Reformation. She Illustrated her talk
with an exquisite marble placque of Sa-
vonarola, and Photographic views of Flor
ence and places made noted through him.
A discussion concerning his sincerity or
insincerity followed, in which his charac-
ter was ~contrasted with that of Luther.
majority of the club inclined toward
belief in the sincerity of his motives

When the department reached the
grounds the fire was burning furiously.
and was spreading rapidly toward either
end OF the frame stables. There was no
water to be obtained III the vicinity, ex-
cept what was furnished by a nearby
pump. The men accordingly organized
a bucket brigade, and also set to work
with their extinguishers. AS it was all

building, separated from the burning one
by an alley about twenty feet wide.
The heat in the alleyway was intense,
and a number. of the fremen who were
working there were painfully burned, Their
hands and faces being badly blistered.
They were successful in saving the other
stables, although the row in which the
fire started was consumed from end to
end. Secretary Muirheid m that
to replace the stables which were burned
would cost $780,, and that the loss would
reach nearly that amount. 1t is fully

The stables were especially large and

CASE OF THE LAY JUDGES.
Chief Justice Reasiey Fixes the June
Term for the Argument.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Allan L.. Nc
Dermott, counsel for Lay Judges Kenny
and Hoffman Of Hudson county. who are
attacking the constitutionality OF their
removal from the bench, had an inter-
View with Chief Justice Mercer Beasley,
in Trenton, as to a date for the argument
of the case. The Chief Justice fixed
the first day of the June term.
1t is understood that in this proceed
ing to compel Judge Hudspeth to rec
ognize the Lay Judges, the Court will
not pass upon the constitutionality of
the act wiptng out the Judges; but a
compromise Will be reached by which
the two Judges will be allowed to finish
their terms. Judge Kenny has one year
to serve and Judge HoffmanSthree.
Whatever the result of the constitution
ality CT the act may be, it is felt that
in any event no act of the Legislature
can abolish a constitutional office like
that of Lay Judge until the term has
expired. AS for the" question of its
constitutionality, as soon as the present
proceedings are finished, that matter will
be brought before the attention of the
Court.

origin OF The olympic Games.

Professor Marquand writes in the
April Century: Each tribe wished for
festival which drew to Olympia the
strength, beauty and Intelligence OF all
Greece Some claimed that zeus estab-
lished the festival to commemorate his
success in the contest with Cronus for
the sovereignty of heaven-a myth which
seems to point to a Pelasgic origin Of the
games. The Acheans coveted the honor
for their hero. Aureus, and Strabo fer
the Etolians. More widely credited was
the belief that the games were estab-
lished by the Cretan Hercules, WHO in
play challenged his brothers to run a race
and to crown the victor with a branch
of wild olive. To the interest of the
Doriaps was the myth Of Apollo outrun-
ming Hern1es and Ares. But such myths
do not necessarily imply remote antiquity
for the events to which they gave a
POETIC colering. It is more to the point
Homer describes several Of the con-
tests represented afterward in the great
national games, and that some Of them
may even be in Egyptian wall
paintings Of the second mi third MILL
