cherokee Girls I'm, Demand
From the Chicago Chronicle. 3

From the Chicago Chronicle,
Indian maidens are being much sought
after as wives by white men in Indian ter
ritory. The cause is accounted for by the
recent order from the Dawes commission,
settling definite limit beyond which time
white men may NOT obtain citizenship in
the Cherokee tribe BY marrying squaws
This limiting date vas first set at August
ID. but the time has been Extended another
month, and the white meh are making the
most OF their opportunity White men
have intermarried with the Cherokees a
great deal. and they are now far richer. as
q class than the full-bloods. They are
quick to see and seize opportunities for
money making. and great many of them
are not averse to acquiring wealth at the
expense OF the simple hearted Cherokees
some OF them are worth nearly $1,000, 600
They and their children acquire property
rights In the nation. and In this way they
control vast estates. The white men who
marry Cherokee girls are, as rule, doubly
Fortunate. for. in addition to the valuable
property rights acquired by adoption into
the tribe. they secure intelligent, indus
trtous and good-looking wives.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
A parachutist. known as Professor An
thony, has accomplished a sensational de-
scent at Luton by dropping from height
of 5000 feet while ''redaling'' a bicycle.
This is said to be the first introduction of
the bicycle into this hazardous kind of ex-
hibition. Signor Balleni of the Crystal
Palace, took the balloon up with the PRO
fessor'' dangling below the car, and when
an elevation of 1000 feet had been reach
ed he gave the signal to drop. The para
chute opened by an apparatus worked by
"pedaling'' the bicycle, and the professor
afterward stated that he dropped fifty
feet before it opened properly. During
that time he had to pedal hard. The de-
scent was very slow on account of the
parachute being rather too large, and the
parachutist was carried by the wind to
some farms near Caddington. from which
place he rode back to Luton.

form of trimming is not considered smart
for this style of waist. The yoke with one
deep pint in the back is not fashion,
able as the two points, and the fit must
be perfection over the shoulders. The two
pointed yoke, fortunately, generally does
fit well, and gives the desired effect Of
breadth which makes these waists so uni
versally becoming.

or the Intentions Of the Union Miners, and
Why-Radical Measures in View.
Just now the greatest obstacle in the
way of success of the miner is the activ-
ity Of the diggers in the West Virginia
fields. They are working night and day
and are getting ready to supply all the
coal that is needed. They are repeating
what they did three years ago. when a
general suspension was declared. At
that time there were a number of opera
tors in the Mountain State who were on
the verge of bankruptcy. The general
suspension was declared, md there came
great demand for coal at prices that
insured big profit. The operators rail-
lied around them a large number of men
whose friendship and support they have
encouraged ever since.
The operators profited by thousands
and thousands Of dollars. When the sea-
son had finished and the strike was de-
clared failure they balanced their
books and found things on the proper
side OF their ledgers. They realized that
they owed much of their profit to their
miners, and rewarded them for it. On
every succeeding pay day the faithful
miners were paid bonuses in the shane
OF gold pieces. and naturally the best of
Keeling prevails among the employers
and employees.
This is the condition Of affairs the or.

glnla district this week will have to en-

Pittsburg. July 12.-Yesterday marked
the beginning of the second week Of the
coal miners strike. and already it gives
promise of being one of the greatest
wage struggles in the history Of this
country. Eight days ago the coal opera
tors in this district and the miners them
selves little dreamed that within one
short week such an era Of general sus-
pension could be wrought as now exists
In the bituminous mining Industry. Then
the mouths Of the many coal tipples that
dot the Monogahela. Youghiogheny, AL

the valleys CT Toms ard Miller's runs,
were open ard turning cut thousands
and thousands of tons Of the best coal
that enters into the competitive markets
of the world. Now all is changed The
vast caverns are like so many grave
yards.
Eighteen InOuSRnd Men Idle.
On the hillsides, baslxing in the shade,
there is an army of $4,000 unemployed
who are anxiously waiting for more to
join the troops of idlers. On nearly
every railroad track leading to the mines
there stand empty cars, apparently arx-
ioCs to be loaded that their burdens may
be carried to the ports along the lakes
Tie success that has attended the move
mo har ola 49,
during the next few days every effort
will be made to bring cut the men in
the few mines that are still working.
This will be a difficult task, but they
express confidence in their ability to
make the suspension complete before the
week is forty eight hours old.
Says 1t Will Result in Compromise.
From the best information obtainable
the Pittsburg operators are in nc hurry

Of them had stocks on railroad sidirgs

said yesterday that it would take an
other week to determine the exact state

al cleaning up will have taken place.
All interested will be ready to begin

at higher price. This whole thing
will result in compromise" said anoth-
er prominent operator. THE operators
are in position to stand it for some
time, and I believe the miners are in
about the same condition. 1t looks as if
business will brighten up. and in that
event the operators will be able to get
better prices and the condition of BUSH
