PURE CHERoKEES
Object to Adjustment Of Their Tribal
Government

CHELSEA, 1. T., Aug. 22.-Today the
report reached here that the Keetoowa
society, an organization among the
Cherokee full blood Indians, had threat
ened personal damage to the membe
Of the Cherokee commission, should they
enter into an agreement with the Dawes
commission looking to the destruction
of the tribal government, and as re-
suit there is much stir in full blood cir
ces of this district. 1t has been pri-
vately known for some time that the
Keetoowa, which is powerful organiza-
ton, was very much averse to ating
but that they should openly threaten
causes much surprise. 1t was the
Keetoowas who last winter sent full
blood delegation to Washington to en-
deavor to persuade congress to prevent
their government extinction, and they
also are the leaders of the scheme to
emigrate all the Indians to Mexico when
their government is abolished. This So
ciety has about 500 members in this dis
trict and control the politics of the ma
ton. The citizens of this district are
fearful lest the full bloods will rise in
arms to prevent any action.

Shot. the Judge

WOODSTOCK, VT, Aug. 22.-Thomas
C. Saver, Justice of the peace for Wind
sor county, was shot this morning by
William w. Lawrence while standing on
the piazza of his residence, the ball pen
etrating his right lung, lodging under the
shoulder blade. The wounded man is
reported as resting quietly tonight. and
the attending physician thinks he will
recover, although his age, beyond 60
years, will tell against him. Lawrence
surrendered himself to the sheriff after
the shooting and was lodged in Jail. Mrs.
Lawrence some time ago left her hus-
band and Judge Saver was appointed a
guardian for their 7-year-old daughter.

ANTI-SEMITEs
Make Trouble for the Authorities in
Bohemia

PILSEN, Bohemia, Aug. 22-The dis
turbances which began on Friday by the
fanatical opponents of the Jews were
resumed yesterday. They arose from a
quarrel between a German Jewish stu
dent named Hartman and Bohemian
student named Schmidt. While the po-
lice were escorting Hrtman from the
town hall an anti-Jewish mob attacked
them and then smashed all the windows
in the synagogue, the Jewish schools and
the houses of the best known Jews.
The authorities called out the military
to suppress the riots and the troops pa
raded the town from o'clock in the aft
ernoon until II in the evening, when a
regular system of military control was
established. An order has been issued
forbidding public meetings of any kinl,
directing all householders to close their
houses at o'clock in the evening and
warning the heads Of families to keep
their apprentices and assistants indoors
after 1880 in the evening. The police
have made twenty-nine arrests.

The platform upon which the children
will sit will be built squarely across
Chippewa street, cutting off all traffic
1t is to resemble large grand stand,
the seats grading upward as the eleva-

the appearance intended, namely. of
resting on an easel. The seating space
will be square and the figures dressed in
red, white and blue will be so arranged
as to form the outline of a shield with
red and white stripes and with white
stars in blue field, surrounded by
border OF black. Boys in black garments
are to form the black background, while
boys and girls dressed in red. white and
blue will fill in the stars and stripes and

These children Of the shield will be
divided into two reliefs, to avoid the IA
tigue of remaining in position for about
seven hours.
The first two thousand will take their
places in the morning just before the
head of the column moves and will re-
main In position until about half of the
procession has passed. Then they will
be relieved by the second division, which
will remain in position until the last man
in the New York state department has
passed. The children of the shield will
all day long sing national anthems and
patriotic songs to the accompaniment
of music.
THE WOMAN'S BRANCH

ON THE TURF
The Great Futurity Will Be Run
Tomorrow

NEW YORK, Aug. 22-The greatest
2-year-old event of the year, the Fu-
| turity,is to be run on Tuesday at Sleeps
head Bay. Rowland, the son Of Hindoo
and Imp. Richochet, is likely to be the
favorite. The horse, however, who has
shown himself to be unquestionably the
best 2-year-old Of the year, Hamburg, is
not entered
IF Hamburg were only entered" said
his trainer, Chas. Patterson, today, IL
would not have any fears as to the re-
suit. He is the better colt of the two and
is in condition to run the race of his life.
He is the best race horse ever saw and
own Ornament.
"Howland performed we'll at Memphis
and those who saw him became so en-
thusiastic that they declared him un-
beatable. Rowland had the call over
Hamburg, so let him keep it."
Trainer Patterson nevertheless thinks
Howland has the best chance of the Fu-
turity candidates to get the money.
On Friday last Howland was sent six
furlongs in 1:15A, TIE best time he has
yet made at the distance. This morn
ing he was sent out for "breather," but
was not allowed to fully extend himself.
Several caught him in LII. Either
Clayton or White will ride him Tues.
day.
The second choice in the betting is
likely to be Thompson's entry, The Hue
genot, and Gibraltar. The former is a
brother to Henry of Navarro and has
won two races so far. He arrived to-
night from Saratoga
Gibraltar ic frocb in tho rtlhIic n, N 4
as the conqueror of Frohman and Varus
in the Undergraduate stakes at Bright
on Beach last Tuesday. If the track is
heavy he will bear watching.
Mike Dwyer's Previous has not been
performing very satisfactorily Of late,
but 1t is said that Saratoga has done
wonders for him and that he will be up
to the form displayed by him when he
won the Great American stakes at
Gravesend. He will have the advantage
of Sims on his back.
Plaudit, the likely son of Himyar and
Cinderella, is at Gravesend, but is re-
ported to be little under the weather.
o. H. P. Belmont's Great Bend, ]. e.
McDonald's Central Trust. J. G. Fol-
lansbee's Murrillo, ]. B. Keene's Enril
and Hayman & Franks Demagogue
have been seen in public and will be
seen at the post. Their chances, how
ever, are considered those of outsiders.
Central Trust worked quarters
over the Sheepshead Bay track this
morning in 1:16%. David Gideon's
Frohman will also likely be a starter,
but he is a very different horse today
from what he was in the spring.
At least a dozen youngsters will go
to the post in the Futurity and the stake
will be worth in the neighborhood of
$45,000.

The Danger in Canned Food

The mischief that now and again arises
from the consumption Of timed food iS
not proved to be referable to the presence
of metal. Tin is comparatively harm
less metal, while the iron over which 1t
is veneered is quite free from risk. The
lead in the solder employed may, how
ever, give rise to poisoning, but we be-
l.eve that 80 well is the sealing process
cone that cases Of this kind are rare.
The dangers of timed food generally
arise from an inherent change in the
food itself, and. there is no doubt that
the longer the food is preserved the
greater is the chance Of its being I'M
wholesome, while, as is well known, az
soon as the food thus preserved Is ex
posed to the air certain changes rapidly
set in, and for this reason the food should
be partaken as soon as possible after the
tin is opened.-Lancet.

Mormons Mobbed

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 22.-Raids by
whitecaps have been of frequent occur
renee within the last few days in Fair
field and Kershaw counties. These raids
have been altogether against the Nor
mon elders and their sympathizers. On
Saturday band of 120 masked whitecaps
went to house about four miles below
Camden in Beulah section, took out the
three Mormon elders, stripped them and
administered whipping. 1t is supposed
that the whitecaps came mostly from
Fairfield and that the Mormon elders
who were whipped were the ones that
escaped the whitecaps on previous oc-
casion at the house of a man named

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 22.-The
ninth annual convention of the Y. p S.
C. U. passed into history today. The
place Of meeting next year will not be
decided until the general committee
meets in October, but Albany, N. Y, has
the call.
Two conservation meetings were held
this morning, one for men led by the Rev.
r. A. Torrey and one for women, led by
Mrs. Edith Livingstone Peake. Both
were largely attended.
The pulpits of the city and suburbs
were filled with visiting pastors this
forenoon, and praise meetings were the
order.
This afternoon John G. Wooley ad-
dressed an audience that crowded the
hall and galleries to the doors. His
speech was characterized by radical
temperance utterances and 1T created a
sensation.

gelization and legislation the saloon is

There are two reasons why the church

ing officers. If they would stand to-
gether at the polls to sustain the par
value of her political declarations they
could throw the old parties upon their
beam ends and leave nothing to be done
but to take the slippery old derelicts into
port and break them up; second, and in
a real argument of our citizenship, pro-
hibition would take the first place upon
the program without a rival or ques-
ton.
do not fail of my meaning. I am not
here in behalf of the Prohibition party.
But 1 assert that you must join it or
make a new party, or leave the church
dishonored and disabled.
II say that every man of you who
would follow Jesus Christ must leave
the two old parties. You cannot keep
that company and have Him with you
