Public Lands In Oklahoma.

A careful investigation of the public
records discloses the fact that there are
yet several millions Of acres Of public
lands in Oklahoma yet subject to home
stead entry and settlement.
1t has generally been understood that
all the lands in Oklahoma fit for agri-
cultural purposes are already occupied,
but such is not the fact. Owing to the
method adopted for the opening of these
lands to settlement, in many cases as
high as five or six persons would settle
on single track on the day of the race,
and rather than stand the expense of a
contest, or run the risk Of other trou-
BILE, would, unknown to each other,
abandon the land. Again, the main
race for lands at those openings was for
tracts near the cities or proposed town
sites and along the lines of railroads,
and thus many hundreds OF almost
equally as good farms as are in Okla
homa were pasesd over in the mad rush
for homes.
1t is true that large portion Of the
yet unclaimed public lands are more fit
for stock-raising than for agricultural
purposes; yet there are still hundreds of
good homes awaiting the taking in that
country and undoubtedly large num-
Der of eastern people will take advan-
tage Of the same the coming season.

Fireplace Is Sixty Years Old and Has
Only Two Houses.
Out at the east end Of Long Island.
not far from Montauk Point. where
ocean steamers are to land some day, is
situated what is said to be the smallest
village in the world, according to the
New York World. 1t consists of two
stone houses about sixty years old and
arrogates to itself the name of Fire
place. One Of the old houses has been
occupied ever since 1t was built by two
generations of an old Long Island fam
lily, who have dwelt there contented
with their quiet life, satisfied II they
got their mail and groceries from the
Point once or twice week. This little
village became known as Fireplace in a
curious way. It is now over 200 years
since Gardeners island was bought
from the Indians by the Gardiner
family for ridiculously low price. The
buyer and his descendants lived there
for many years, coming to the main
land to do their shopping or to attend
UdllS anu llCo al IuV A1CoA Wy w
lagos. When they came over to Long
island to make any stay their servant
took the boat back to Gardeners island
until 1t should be needed.
In the absence Of any better means
of communication the family when they
wished to return home were forced to
fall back on the rather primitive GUS
tom of lighting fire to attract the at
tention of the servants. The place
where this fire was always built was
directly opposite the homestead on
Gardeners island It was admirably
situated and years afterward became
the site Of these two old houses. In
casting about for name for their little
village the owners OF the houses natur-
ally hit upon that Of Fireplace

Cuba Offers G1Oo,OOO,OOO For It---Gomez
All Right--Campos Huffy.

A New York dispatch says: The
Worlds special from the headquarters
of General Gomez, near San Antonio
de Los Banos, says; Gomezs wound
received Jan. IA has not proved serious.
In spite of his hurt and 72 years of age
and thirteen years of war, ten of them
continuous exposure in the late Cuban
rebellion, his rugged constitution en-
ables him to manage his fiery horse
and endure the exceptional fatigue of
long marches like the youngest. In
answer to the question: Glow will
the substitution of General Weyler for
Campos affect Cuban chances?' Gomez.
said: The change will benefit the
Cuban cause. We lost a most powerful
enemy in Campos. His strong char.
acter and personal influence held to-
Spain many of the most influential
and richest Cubans that otherwise
would have followed their natural
inclinations to assist in freeing their
country. He is without donbt the first
general in Spain. The troops all idol
lied him and with his departure they
are left without leader in whom they
have confidence" The question was
then put: 'Are the Cubans still will
ing to purchase their independence?'
After some thought Gomez answered.;
"Of course, in view of the rapidly in
creasing growth of the revolution this
course would not now be so readily
approved by Cubans as at first. Moret
over, it is a question for our govern
ment to decide, but think | am war
