Twelve Hundred Preparing to Visit the
battle-ground Where Watshona Fell.
OAK LODGE, I. T., Aug. 20.-Exten-
sive preparations are going on among
the Cherokee Indians for a pilgrimage
to Russellville, KY. Charles Parker, a
nephew of the celebrated Comanche
chief, Quanah Parker, has just returned
from Frankfort, KY, where he has
been to c permission for 1900
Cherokee braves to march into the state
and hold a weeks celebration in honor
Of Chief Watshona, at a place three
miles distant from Russellville, where
the great warrior was said to have been
killed in 1749 in q battle with the Shaw.

carved legends and war souvenirs of
Chief Watshona, which they will de.

mementoes and tribal relics is said to be
due to a belief recently taught the
Cherokees by an old, withered medi.
cine man. that the tribe is doomed to
complete extinction within a few years.
The march will be taken up, it is said,
about September 20, or in time to reach
the battle-ground on the anniversary
day of the fight, Nov. 8.
The party will cross the Mississippi
into Illinois at Chester, and will leave
Illinois at ShaWneetown.

Among Them q Scheme to Keep Con-
ductOrs Honest.

Among Them q Scheme to Keep Con-
ductors Honest.
1t is many years since Mark Twain's
lines immortalizing the enforced
punching of variously colored slips by
street railway conductors to prevent
their "holding up the company a
riot through the land, and the "buf
trip Slips the pink trip slips" and the
''blre trip slips" have long been aban-
doned by most street railways in favor
of the clock faced indicator. This is a
fairly good device, but still it may be
worked by a clever man not unwilling
to divert a few nickels to his W
pocket. In Toronto the company has a
scheme which, so far as any one knows,
has never yet been circumvented by a
conductor. Indeed, it is difficult to see
how it could be got around without the
connivance Of a passenger. By this plan
the conductor does not touch money or
tickets at all. When collecting, he car
ries around a specially made receptacle
into which the passenger must put his
own ticket or 5 cent piece. The con-
ductor who violates the company rules
by taking the fare from the passenger
and putting it into the fare holder is
liable to discharge. At the end of each
collection the receptacle is hung upon a
special hook and must there remain un-
til more passengers board the car.
The cars Of the trolley line between
Minneapolis and st. Paul are fitted with
admirable appliances to prevent acct
dents to passengers careless in stepping
on and off. At the rear end of each car
are folding gates which are under the
control of the motorman, who does not
open them until the car has reached q
full stop and closes them before II
starts again. Controlled by the same
lever as that which opens and closes the
gates are folding steps, which let dowI
when the gates open and close up whel
they shut.
The managers of this same line have
carried the street car advertising notion
to a greater length than the managers
of most other trolley lines in the United
States. In addition to the ordinary space
for advertisements over the windows,
the backs of the seats are provided with
panels for the display of advertising
matter. This does not, however, seem
to attract the advertisers of the twin
cities very much, for the panels are very
rarely utilized except for amusement
announcements. Exchange.

PLEAD FOR SENORITA CISNEROs
Women of America Interested in the Fate
Of the Young Cuban Girl.

Women of America Interested in the Fate
of the Young Cuban Girl.
New YORK, Aug. W.-The women of
America are endeavoring to save the
unfortunate 1S.year.old Cuban girl,
Evangelina Cisneros, daughter of the
president Of the republic, sentenced by
one Of General Weyler's courtmartials
to 20 years servitude at the Spanish
penal colony of Ceuta, off the coast of
Africa. Prominent women of America
have prepared appeals which will be
forwarded to the queen regent of Spain.
These all ask for a pardon for the un-
fortunate girl. One is from Mrs. Jeffer-
son Davis and is an appeal in the name
of humanity and Of womanhood to pre-.
vent the outrage.
A Prayer to the Pope.
Julia Ward Howe, from her cottage
at Oak Glen, has forwarded a petition
to the pope. It is short, though like a
sledge hammer in driving the nail to its
head with a single blow. It reads:
"Most Holy Father, to you as the
head Of the Catholic C~hristendom, we
appeal for aid in behalf of Evangelina
Cisneros, a young lady of Cuba, one of
whose near relatives is concerned in the

ulate the action Of that providence
which interests itself in the fall of a
single sparrow. A word from you will
surely induce the Spanish government,
to abstain from this act of military ven
geance which would greatly discredit ii
in the eyes of the civilized world. We
devoutly hope that your wisdom will
see fit to utter this word and to make
not US alone but all humanity your

Ex-Governor Grant Says Not Much Can be
Produced at less Than 80 Cents.
DENVER, Aug. 2O.-In q letter for the
public, ext Governor J. w. Grant Of the
Omaha Grant smelter, says regarding
the continued fall in the price Of silver:
''In my opinion, the world a pro.
duce not to exceed $50, 100000 ounces
per annum, at so cents per ounce.
The annual absorption is greater than
loo, 900 ounces, so that so cents
should be a bed rock price.
I'm the immediate future, it may 60
below so cents, because smelters and
others are Offering to sell millions Of
ounces at the best price to be obtained,
30, 90 and 20 days hence. This is done
with a view to getting rid of present
stocks, with as little loss as possible. I
put so cents at bed rock, because I be.
lieve the world will continue to absorb
an increasing amount of silver from
year to year, and I do not believe that
it is possible to maintain the present
output at 50 cents.
1.-THE Ontario and Daley mines OF
Utah produced last year 10000
ounces of silver and made a profit OF
$22O, 900, with silver at 81 cents. A
fall of II cents an means a loss
of S2S9,OOO as compared with last years
operations. The Broken Hill mine OF
Australia produced last year 6,500,0 DOC
ounces of silver and made o prfiot OF
ST. 500, 600. With silver at 90 cents they
would have made only 100000. The
ore in this mine is gradually getting
lower in grade, and 80 cents for silver
will soon close it up. I could mention
other mines, but it is not necessary tc
do So"

Turkish Traffic In Slaves.

Slave dealing in Constantinople, as
we know, always exists, and the wife
of pasta is not above the wretched
business. Richard Davey, in his book,
"The Sultan and His Subjects, says:
"a good deal of Turkish traffic in
slaves is conducted in the following
manner on very we'll conceived COM
mercial principles: The wife of pasha,
as matter of speculation, purchases
two or three little girls for trifle,
either from slave dealer CT some poor
woman, generally Christian, possibly
a Bulgarian refugee who is unable to
bring up her own children. The lady
educates each child, teaches it those &C.
complishments which are indispensable
to harem life. such as singing, dancing
and playing on musical instruments,
washing, starching, ironing, embroid-
cry and even little cookery. To this
may be added a smattering of some for
eign language and a very elementary
knowledge of Turkish caligrsphy. When
the child is grown up, if she is hand
some the lady turns her to account
and literally repays herself for her
trouble by selling her at high figure
to some pasha of her acquaintance
through the medium of one of the we'll
known old women whose business it is
to carry out transactions of that sort.

Our Neighbors

+ Our neighbors generally are the PEG.
pie who have houses near to our own.
that nearDess varying according to the
size of the district and the number OF
householders of the same social rank as
ourselves. In town they live in the
same street; in apartments they are on
tie same corridor; in the country they
are separated by field only or garden
wall; in sparsely tenanted places they
are at distance of mile or two miles,
or it may be six. And the neighbor par
excellence is the one who lives close
alongside of ourselves-perhaps in the
other half of the semidetached house
where we have our home or Just across
the road and opposite, not to the side.
This is the general idea of neighbor,
and when we use the term we rarely
mean aught else.
But in point of fact we have neigh
bors wherever we turn-men and wom-
en- to whom we are bound to render
such service of kindness as comes into
the possibilities of the time and place.
1t is not only domicile and the rates
and taxes which make Us neighbors 1t
is not only when we live divided by a
party wall one from the other at the
foot of the hill, or standing face to face
across the road, when we can signal our
goings out and cur comings in and be
helpful and neighborly in the matter of
the garden roller and the preserving
pan. 1t is not only when we know all
the family history, and how our friends
and neighbors are impeccable as to their
grandfather and without the crooked
lines of a scandal across their family
escutcheon. 1t is not necessary to be
intimate, nor even to have been intro
duced, for the obligations of neisLbcr-
illness to be strict and strong For
wherever we can render service, show
a courtesy or do kindness we have our
work cut out for as in the way of duty
to our neighbor, aud he is our neighbor
who stands in need, great or small, of
such help as we can offer.-Philadel-
