REFORMING INDIAN TERRIToR'


Two reports from the undeveloped
districts of the far West indicate a
highly commendable improvement Of
the public morals. One is that a man
in Coota Is to be shot for a murder that
he committed about three weeks ago
Coota is in Indian Territory, appar-
emily, and 1t is the custom there to re-
duce public expenses to a minimum. The
murderer is a Creek Indian, and under
to law the relatives of his victim will
have the pleasure of executing sentence
upon him. The brief time that elapses
in this case between the crime and the
punishment proves that there is n'
sickly sentimentality in the treatment
of offenders.
The other report is more surprising
and momentous. 1t is that ingalls, Il
converted, has stopped gambling, drink
ing. prize-fighting and shooting. Lest
should be thought that this means Sen
ator ingalls,, we hasten to say that
does not. II means a town. Recent

This diving apparatus consists of a

tom of the water.
The tube is distended by strong iron
rings and sunk by means of weighs;
its lower part terminates in water
tight dress, fitting the legs and arms,
and kept distended like the main tube.
by suitable rings; light is admitted
through openings occupied by strong
panes of glass. The whole apparatus
thus forms bag open at top, but
closed below. 1t is to be moored in a
secure way, and to be of sufficient
length to allow it to rise and fall with
the motion of the water, without dis
turbing the operator.
windlass is provided, which crosses
the floating buoy, and is necessary to
draw the diver up when necessary; an
air tube to force air down and hy-

OYSTERS WITH TEETH.
Wonderful Stories That Come from
the RannH hammock.

Mr.. ID. NJ. Nelson, agent of the Weems
Steamboat company, at Urbana, on the
Rappahann eek river, Virginia, brought
up to Baltimore a curiosity discovered
by him which has created considerable
interest among steamboat people about
Light street wharf, says the Baltimore
American. 1t is a live oyster OF large
size, growing out of the mouth of an
yeast powder bottle, which was found
Oil the shore of the Rappahannock river,
The oyster is considerably larger than
the bottle, and only a very small por
ton is inside. Upon the sides of the
bottle are several small oysters of tiny
size, firmly fastened there.
Mr.. Nelson has brought up story
more wonderful than his oysters, and
for which there has as yet been no
evidence produced. 1t is of an old gen
tleman who lives near Urbana and who
so the story goes, while bathing during
the summer, lost a set of false teeth
which fiOated away or went to the bot
tom. Last week, while dredging, ar
FISHERMAN brought up to the surface

number of oysters were clinging, some

The White House.

The steady growth of the nation has
rendered necessary a great expansion of
the capitol at Washington, but nothing
has been done to increase the size of the
white house, says the Washington Post.
The latter remains as it was when first
occupied by President John Adams, at
the beginning of the present century.
Its narrow quarters have caused a vast
amount of embarrassment to its tenants
from time 10 time. For example, when
the prince of Wales was here the ut
most difficulty was found in making
room for him and few persons of his
immediate suite, even when part of
the Office quarters was utilized for
sleeping purposes. There is an urgent
demand for more rooms for the enter
tainment of distinguished guests of the
nation on such exceptional occasions.

How IN Armenian Girl Succeeded n
Escaping from Turkey.

Warned by the terrible fate which
befell her beautiful young sister, Rosa
Alongha, a young Armenian girl some
months ago determined to escape from
Turkey or die. Her sister, says for
eign exchange, had been forced to enter
the harem of a Turkish official of high
rank, this being the elimination of
much persecution. Then it was that
Rosa determined on flight. Well know
ing that once in the United States she
would be safe from all danger, she en-
deavored to secure a passport to this
country. In this she was unsuccessful,
whereupon she took refuge with the
wife of the British ambassador at Con-
stantinople. The American consul
then also interested himself in the case
and rendered material assistance to
the girl il her efforts to get away.
Disguise was, of course, necessary, and
Miss Alongha adopted the costume of
a nun, in which she was smuggled on
board a vessel bound for this country,
where she arrived safely. She lost no
time in getting to Berkeley, Cal, where
her mothers brother resides. Miss
Alongha comes of a rich and aristocrat-
ic family. She is highly educated,
speaking fiuently Armenian, Greek,

Oregon Fire Commissioners Retired
n Faithful Equine Servant.
The board of fire commissioners has
decided that the big bay horse Jerry,
which has faithfully served the city in
the fire department for Z years. and is
now % years of age, shall be given his
time for the remainder of his days and
be a pensioner on the city. says the
Portland Oregonian. This horse and
his mate were purchased by the city
in the days of the volunteer fire depart
ment, to draw ladder truck No. /, and
for several years they did this work,
which is now considered a pretty heavy
JOB for the three horses attached to the
truck. When the paid department was
organized Jerry became a member of it,
and has discharged his duties faithfully
ever since. He is now entitled to be con-
sidered aged" having served longer
than the usual span of life allotted to
horses, and the commissioners do not
feel inclined 20 sell him for trifie to
some one who will perhaps starve and
abuse him, and render the remainder of
his life uncomfortable, so they have de-
cided that he is to have free hay and oats
at the expense of the city as long as he

into his store, gaining access through
the cellar. They took about 81 in
