about the whole affair is that the site
for the college was revealed to the high
priestess, Mrs. Tingley, in an astral
dream. so it is claimed. That is to
say, she made a survey of 1t with her
astral body, leaving her f1eshly sur
roundingsAat home. And she was so
pleased with the situation that she de-
cided at once to place the institution
there, and there, a costly edifice of solid
marble and stone, 1T is to remain for
all time.
Such experiences as these are not un.
common, according to the theoscphists.

Though the public performance of
miracles is rather discouraged by the
osophiSts, Madame BlavatSky, the
great founder of the society, did, as
Mr.. Sinnett has told us, many strange
things. By reason Of long study and
years Of asceticism, some portion of
adept powers had been conferred upon
her, and she could, at any rate, create
missing teacups and saucers, and bring

TURNER AND KERN.

Robert H. Kern and J. Miltor
Turner, of st. Louis, are having
an old-fashioned love feast, while
the former is running for congress
again in the Twelfth district. The
case of ancient Damon and Pythias
pales into insignificance in COM
parison with Kern and Turner OF
st. Louis. This political blending
of representatives of two races at
the close of the Nineteenth GEN.
tury may be precursor of the
millennium. The Republic of a
late date has the following lauda-
tory effusion showing the flial re-
lationship of these two men, who
are 80 we'll known in Vinita and in
the Cherokee nation:
~. Milton Turner shows in
frank and lucid statement that
check for $50. from Kern to him
self, was but one of the many
transactions necessitated by his
connection with Candidate Kern
in the matter of securing for the
ignorant negroes of the Indian Ter
ritory vast sum of money to
which they were entitled under
this governments treaty with the
Cherokee Indians. He shows how
Mr.. Kern recovered 81, 100000 for
these negroes. In proof of the
truth of his story of the check
transaction between Mr.. Kern and |
himself, ]. Milton Turner refers to
the books of the National Bank of
Commerce of st. Louis"
This statement causes immense
laughter in the Cherokee nation.
Ii ever a poor, ignorant lot of peo-
pie on earth were robbed with
open and shameless effrontry, it
was the Cherokee negroes by
Damon Kern and Pythias Turner.
The Cherokees have danced to
Kern's music to the tune of $4OO,-

A Friendly Ceremony in Old Cuba

When an acquaintance visits pri-
vate residence, cigars are handed round
on silver salver; II the visitor be an
intimate friend, one of the young girls
OF the family, called "donzalia," lights
a cigar and giving it few draws to
get we'll lighted, gracefully presents 1t
to him. If the guitar is brought in, as
usually occurs (for there is one in every
house,, and the visitor plays, his cigar
is kept lighted by the donzalia, and at
each pause in the music she politely
hands it to the guest. This may occur
several times in an evening, and this
friendly ceremony is pleasant enough
when the cigar comes from the pouting
lips of rich Spanish beauty just ripen-
ing into womanhood, but in any case it
must be thankfully accepted.-Jona-
than S. Jenkins, in Century.

Royalty in DiTering Roles

Intellectually King Oscar of Sweden
stands head and shoulders above nearly
all other royalties. He is not only dis
tinguished in philosophy; he is an au-
thor, a translator and learned man in
political economy; he is musician, a
historian and playwright. In fact. in
almost any department of life in which
the mind in its finer qualities plays a
part he is student and a recognized
authority. He has translated Tasso's
Jerusalem Delivered" and he has put
into his own language the best works of
German, French and English writers.
The king of Wurtemburg is also unique
among reigning monarchs, though not
in such an intellectual way. He is a
hotelkeeper. This has long been
tradition in his family, but not until
lately was it discovered by the rulers Of
the beautiful little German kingdom

Pities the Commission.

{" have 'cussed' the Dawes Com.
mission time and again" said a
prominent Indian this morning,
"but l feel some pity for them
Individually after all. Ihave been
camping pretty close ON the trail
of Arch McKennon all day, and
have listened to the advise he has
received, to the questions he has
answered and to the interrogations
proponded to him, and it has been
worse than any newspaper inter-
view that l have read recently.
He has had to run the gauntlet of
lawyers, doctors, townsite people,
citizens, non-citizens and all the
homogeneous mass OF the mixed
population of this town, and they
have either learned something or
have listened to a lot of opinions,
which, perhaps, will be of no
practical benefit. Why, there has
been enough said and printed in
the columns of the territory press
to settle THESE questions without
the assurance from any member of
the commission, and all is done
that can be until Congress meets
and passes upon some of the ques-
tions. You cannot blame the
people for being inquisitive, but it
must be hard on Needles,
McKennon and Bixby. ."-Capital.

Some of the territory papers are
harping about the great loss the
Cherokees have sustained on ac.
count of not having made treaty
with the Dawes commission. We
would like some of the know
ing ones to tell us specifically just
what they have lost? The Chero-
KEGS have as much land as they
had when the Dawes commission
came here, and they have as much
money, and the abolition of their
courts has been their gain in the
way Of expenses. The matter of
loss to the Cherokees is very
largely imaginary.

Newspaper Writinq.

Newspaper literature is writing
in a hurry" says some obseryant
critic. His criticism is just. The
forced necessity to keep up with the
procession by writing something with
out the time for mature elaboration
results in the publication Of articles
which, often at least, might have
been more accurate in statement,
more elegant ia diction and more
conclusive in logic had the writer
more time at his disposal. A charit-
able public is cognizant of these facts
and does not expect that profundity
of thought and sentential finish in
newspaper articles that it does from
books and magazines. Newspaper
literature is ephemeral; the paper is
cursorily read and thrown aside.
A book and magazine are taken
up at ones leisure, with deliberation
and an intention to consider and
weigh the contents.
We read a newspaper to get the
news, facts to keep in view the trend
and scope of current events; to as
certain the views Of people upon
existing conditions, Through the
newspaper we keep in touch with the
doings of the rest of the world We
do not care so much for the "dress"
as for the thought, and sententious
brevity is not only excused, but de-
sired, in newspaper articles.
