John Allen of Mississippi. the wit of the

to room. He had never seen apartments

tariff on that ROOM John didn't like to

and that would look little. The boy re-
turned presently and informed the guest
that the price was $50 per day. Allen went
downstairs, laid down dime and called for
cigar. They didn't sell anything but two
bit cigars. He put down a nickel on the

the clerk. He got drink and rendered u

Then he called for his bill.
Why, what is the matter Mr.. Allen ?

German Deep-Sea Expedition.
London Chronicles Berlin Telegram.

a parliamentary paper has been circulat-
ed among the members of the reichstag
with reference to an item of 1900 marks
G1o0OW which will appear in the estimates
in support Of a German deep-sea expedi-
ton. This document passes in review the
successful efforts made by other maritime
nations in this direction, and notably by
Great Britain, with the remarkable Chal-
lenger expedition, the results of which fill
forty-two stout volumes. Germany it is
pointed out, is the only European nation
with any pretensionS to maritime power
which has taken little or no part in re-
Vealing the secrets of the deep seas, and it
behOoves her now to make amends for her
past negligence, especially when the work
to be done is still so vast and so varied
Accordingly, it is proposed that suitable
steamer shall be chartered and leave Dor

the cold currents of the antarctic and
the warm trdian currents meet. The ex-
petition will then cruise through the In

horle after an absence which Is estimated
at nine months. The kaiser takes the
greatest interest in this undertaking. and
hopes to see its leaders before they leave

PARCHMENTs 100 YEARS OLD

-at
Mr.. Andrew John, jr a member of the
Seneca Indian nation of the state Of New
York, Is in the city, stopping at 224 I'd
street. Mr.. John. who is full-blooded In
dian. is here in the interest of a bill to
regulate the collection and the appertion-
ment Of money arising from the lease Of
lands Of the reservations Of his people In
New York. There are three of these reser-
vatons, the Cattaragus the ALLEGHENY and
OIL Spring. The frst-named reservation
lies principally in Erie county, N. Y. The
Allegheny reservation borders on the line
of pennsylvania. 1t runs easterly along
the Allegheny river on both banks for
about forty miles. Altogether there are
about 5000 acres in these reservations.
The bill to further which Mr.. John was
sent by his people to Washington has been
introduced by Senator Quay in the Senate
and also by Representative c. w. Stone
of Pennsylvania in the House. 1t has been
read twice and referred to the committee
on Indian affairs. Mr.. John says that UNI
der the present act adopted in 1873 and
again in 1880, the council OF the Seneca
nation has been given too much liberty in
arising from the lands which are leased
and rented to white persons who occupy
them. The bill which is under considera-
ton provides for the payment pro rata of
an moneys which may be received from
the rentals to the heads of the different
families OF the Seneca nation, after 81 500
has been set aside for the maintenance of
the affairs of the nation The money is to
be expended in the same manner and I'M
der the same conditions as the annuities
now paid to the Seneca nation by the
United States are distributed The money
shall be paid the United States Indian
agent for the New York Indian agency in
the name of the Seneca nation and dis
tributed by him.

IrresuIarity Complained or.

Many of the heads of the families" Mr..
John said, "are complaining about not re-
ceiving part Of the money. Some receive
funds in the shape of orders for road work,
etc. while others get none at all, and 1t is
this seeming Partially which has led to
the necessity of framing new bill. There
has been a great waste of the money, too,
as the sum of 81 800 is deemed all that Is
necessary for carrying on the government
and defrayng all other expenses AS it
now Is. the president of the nation, who is
elected annually, together with three men
from each of the reservations, forming the
council. have the distribution of the funds,
and this has led to extravaganza"
Mr.. John says he has bafn president OF
the nation four times.rrWhite the expenses
have been $1,000 or $1,000 annually. the

was given away in the form of orders of

mismanagement of the nations affairs and
that something had to be done to stop this.

this number are over 900 vhters, men who

one which has constitutional form of

the Indians Most of them are farmers,
some are mechanics. They have their own
schools and churches. The latter are of

meet to decide the civil cases.

fever" / think he would done the com.
munity favor if he had mentioned the
fact, which he knew at the time, that the
humble opinion Of the only physician
who had seen any of the eases here (whC
happens to be the writer) is decidedly
different. l would not ask him, how
ever, to take my judgment in the matter
but to make personal observation on some
of the cases, and then read some literture
on the subject by various authors, which
he could find in my library and else
where. He would find that this epidemic
tallies perfectly with descriptions of the
disease known as roseola or rose rash,
also called by some Roetheln. Children
are readily subject to roseOla who have
already had scarlet fever and measles. In
many cases Of the diseass there is no sick
ness, the eruption being the only percepti-
BILE symptom. This fact is stated in au-
thoritative descriptions of the disease, and
is also true in this epidemic. The editor
thinks too lightly of scarlet fever when he
says the schools could probably reopen
with perfect safety next Monday" If
this were scarlet fever, even of a mild
form, there would be nothing like safety
least unless each house which contained
a case could be strictly auarantined.
/ am led to say these things partly to
prevent being considered as possible
author of an incorrect diagnosis, but
chiefly that [ may possibly partly undo
the harm to the business of our little city
which comes from fear of isease, especial
ly as I know of one family kept from
coming here on business by seeing the
statement referred to in THE islander.
