st. Aloysius Church, Leonardtown,
has been beautifed with stained glass
windows all of which except two have
been presented by individual members
of the congregation. During his entire
pastorate Rev. Chas. X. Jcn kins, 8. j.,
has been untiring in ornamenting and
improving the church and this latest ad-
dition to 1t is due to his exertions. On
the north side of the church the win
dows were given as memorials to the
following persons and, reckoning from
the altar, are In the order named: J. +.
and A. M. King; Aloysius and Charlotte
Fenwick; Bennett r. Abel; Frank N.
Holmes; John, Agnes and Ellen Leigh
Morgan. The front window is q memo
rial to the late William +. Greenwell.
On the south side the windows are in
scribed as follows: j. A. and NJ. C.
Hayden; George and Catharine Combs !;
John A. Camalier; Thomas and Eleanor
Dillow; Charles Combs. The front win
dow on this side is Token of Affect
tion to Rev. Father Jenkins, s. j. The
windows in the belfry have been given
by the Pupils of st. Mary's Academy
The windows on the north and south
sides, furtherest from the altar, have as
yet no inscriptions upon them but il is
to be hoped that in the near future some
members of the congregation will take
them and have them suitably inscribed.

Notes From Uncle Ned.

Well, little friends, rs Miss Polly's an
nual ball is near at hand perhaps you
would like to know something about
how she behaves herself ON these occas-
ions. In olden times she did not appear
in disguise as she does now, but unfor
tunately for her, she Is seldom seen now
a-days without her mask On these oc-
casions Solomon himself was not arrayed
as she. She lends a charm to her every
word and act. She makes no distinction
between race or color. She has kind
word and a smile for all-in short, she
Gcts as though she were endowed with
every possible virtue. Yes, she is all
smiles, and when the "ball is over the
mask Is removed and there's Miss Polly
herself again a wholesale ''fiirt" before
the eyes of the world. Back to her
quarters she lives above the average Of
her fellow-mortals, and not much is seen
of her again until just before the bal" !"
In the meantime she has managed to
soothe the wounds of her admirers and
they are ready to trust her again. So,
my young friends, such is abou. the
character of the lady in question. U.
N. is very well acquainted with her
manouvres. BY close observation he has
found out a great deal about her. She
has some good traits despite her many
vices, which were forced into her char
acter through the wisdom of Thomas
Jefferson, who well knew how to make
her behave herself. He had little too
much brain, tempered with pride and
self-respect, to be swsyed by her bane-
full influence, and for that U. N. respects
her as did the Americans Arnold's bro
ken arm. He would not hang the rest
of her, but would like to see her act
more decent. He has always advocated
that part of her principles and hopes to
see the day when she will be a thorough
reformed coquette. II will not do to let
her have her sway so extensively. She
will break the heart of the whole coun-
try, and il will tumble into mass Of
ruin. NY young friends, many of your
fathers, your uncles and cousins viii be
called on on Tuesday next to deposit
their sentiments. / am afraid that many
of them will get struck" on Miss Polly
and perhaps do the wrong thing. II
they do what they believe to be right
there can be no wrong about it, but II
they act for gain" regardless Of princi-
pie God help them and the country TO
which they belong. Whilst U. n. has
no ill-will against any one, he would not
be displeased to see the Democratic ban
ner triumphsntly floating over the land
on Wednesday morning next. Well,
young friends, il may be some time be-
fore you hear from your old friend again.
He feels that he needs rest Keep your
eyes open on Miss Polly. Tell her that
Thomas Jefferson Is good enough for
you and the spell is broken. Don't for.
get TO breathe q prayer for your old
friend. Re may give you change later

THE DELAWARE CLAIM.

The claim OF the Delawares pre-
sented to the Dawes commission
few days ago for 100 acres of land
for each member Of the tribe is the
logical sequence Of the agreement
made with those people in 1867.
For a certain stipulated sum the
Cherokees sold the Delawares for
their occupancy quantity of land
equal to 100 acres for each member
of the Delaware tribe who was en-
rolled upon a certain register made
February 1S, 1867, by the govern
ment agent, and on file in the o.
fee Of the commissioner Of Indian
affairs in Washington, and also in
the executive Office at Tahlequah.
At the time Of the ratification of
this agreement the individual
shares of citizens Of the Cherokes
nation, had a division been made,
would have amounted to not less
than a section Of land (640 acres)to
the head; therefore the Delawares
were limited to 100 acres, for which
they paid one dollar per acre. 1t
was further stipulated that the
children born Of such Delawares
who had become citizens Of the
Cherokee nation by virtue Of the
agreement should 10 al respects

Lo, The Poor White Man.

A press dispatch from Ardmore
to the Indian Journal says the sew
eral tribes of white warriors of the
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
are very indignant over the recent
treaty concluded at the Atoka
Agency and there are wild rumors
ofoutbreaks on all the reservations.

itary post Of Ft. Smith from the
interior says Big Medicine Man ].
J. McAlester is making war medi.
cine and melting his braves to 60
on the war path for the scalps Of
the Dawes commission and the
commissions on the part of the
Choctaw and Chickasaw intruders
who propose by their treaty to rob
them OF 62 1-2 per cent Of their
reservation. McAlester is medi-
cine man of the band and Charles
Stuart is war chief.
A reliable rumor from the Pur-
cell reservation says the Bloomer
warriors there are painting and
ghost dancing. They are furious
at the treaty and will either 60 on
the war path for its scalp or emf.

have peace from the encroach-
ments and diplomacy of the all

Indian. The rumor further says

hatchet, painted his face red white
and blue, swears by Dennis Flynn,

Ghost dancing is prevalent at all
the reservations save the Atoka

TAHLEouAH, l. T., May 26.
A resolution was presented to
the commission by Webb Vann,
Capt. VIM. Jackson and w. r.
Mcclellan today, representing a
mass meeting held at Pryor Creek
last week where five or six hun
dred citizens were present, asking
for allotment of land and immedi-
ate statehood. The resolution
asks that 160 acres be allotted to
each citizen including townlots. on
a cash basis, all lands to be ap-
praised. The commissions are now
in executive session, and there is
a rumor that some of the Cherokee
commissioners will resign rather
than stay on and block an agree
ment. Watt Duncan and the full
bloods are as Interchangeable as the
