Creek Pastures to Be Cut.

Muskogee, l. T., April .-Isparhech- CT, the chief of the Creek nation, has ordered the judges of the district courts of the nation to have all inter
 for pastures cut down under penalty of removal from office if they fail to do so. The interior pastures have ire cnently been declared to be illegal by the Creek courts. and an order similar to the one just issued by the chief was issued last year, but the cutting of the pastures was stopped by injunctions in the United States courts and in other ways, after a number of them had been cut down and number of per sons had been killed while resisting the order. It is feared, however, that the present order of the chief may mean something in view sf the fact that the secretary of the interior has recently issued several orders which
 were nnfavorable to the building of interior pastures in the Creek nation.

KEEPING MEAT.
It Should Never be Allowed to Re-
 main in the Paper.

A sclentist gives bit of information
 for housekeepers that may be useful.
 He says meats ought never to be
 wrapped in paper even while coming
 from the butchers, much less should
 they be left in paper over night or
 when put away in the ice box.
 larre-sized sheet of paper will absorb
 half of the juice of good steak II It
 has the opportunity, and thus destroy
 the most delicate and relishable DOT
 ton of it. One housekeeper has covered china dish that she sends to the market, and in this meats are placed. When she requires large amount she often sends the porcelain lined preserving kettle with a rack in the bottom and piece of ice under meath. Of course this is not necessary in very cold weather, but during fall and spring people do not realize that meats deteriorate very rapidly upon exposure to the air The temperature is so much cooler for them that they forget that chemical changes take place quickly even in moderately cool weather A market basket filled with an agate tray or basin is excellent for meats. An ordinary cover may be used, and in this way the steaks and joints will come to the table in much better state than though they had been allowed to give up their sub stance to a bit of manilla. The GUS tom of sending home butter in wooden trays is severely criticised. The wood is almost certain to impart a disagree able flavor to the butter. It may not develop immediately, but butter will notkeep as long, and is qute sure to become objectionable before it is! used.

From the Youths Companion.
A foreigner in Spain sees many irregu-
larities, especially in the post offices AT
Potes a village of 1,200 inhabitants, IN
northern Spain, the postmaster was an old
man. who was usually found asleep, ana
resented being stirred up to deliver let
ter. In the larger post offices the height Of
confusion is reached, because letters are
put into pigeon holes, alphabetically ar
ranged, according to the fancy of the post
master.
Mr.. John Smith," says Dr. Gadow, in
his Northern Spain," will, on inquiry,
probably be told there is nothing for him,
because the letter is safely lodged under J,
the postmaster having mistaken Smith for
an additional surname. but John Smith,
esq.,. will as likely be relegated TO E, and
unless the postmaster is amicably inclined,
your letter has a good chance Of remain
ing there until the quarterly or annual
clearance, when 1t may be returned through
the dead letter office. say may, because
such letters are considered troublesome,
and have q knack of disappearing.
Dr. Gadow, having obtained an introduc-
ton to the postmaster of Potes and ex-
changed compliments with him, was In
vited to look through his shelves and take
his choice. He came across a letter ad-
dressed to gentleman in Cabezon, a town
at some distance from Potes. On asking
why it had not been sent on, he received
this startling answer: THAT man is a for
eigner, is he not? Well, numbers of
strangers come to Potes. and he is as like
ly to turn up here as at Cabezonr'
At San Sebastian DR.. Gadow called at
the post Office twice for registered letter,
containing a remittance from his banker
and was assured that nothing had arrived.
On procuring a note from the English con-
sui, the letter was forthcoming with the
excuse that the post had just come in. He
pointed out that the local postmark was

American Commissioners Expected to
Present Memorandum on the Philip
pines to the Spanish Monday Said In
Washington All Islands to BE Held.

MADRID, Oct. Marshall Martinez
Campos, after an audience with the
queen regent and a prolonged confer
ence with the minister of finance, Senior
Puigcerver, left for Paris with import
ant papers for the Spanish peace COM
missioners.
PARIS, Oct. ga son of Senior
Montero Rios, who is an attache OF the
Spanish peace commission, went to
Madrid and will have a conference with
the government.
The American peace commissioners
at their sessions drew up a memoran-
dunn OH the subject of the Philippine
Islands which it IS expected they will
place before tho spanish commissioners
at the JOINT session which is TO take
place on Monday next.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The president
was enabled to lay before the cabinet
very encouraging reports from Paris re-
gardlng the progress of the peace nego-
tiations. The administration now fully
believes that the negotiations will be
concluded much sooner than was ex-
pected from the outlook few days ago,
1t can be stated authoritatively that the
commissioners have not yet actually
begun the discussion of the Philippine
question. and further, that it will not
be taken UP until next week Since the
Spaniards have found that the Ameri-
can commissioners mean exactly what
they say, and that their presentation of
the side OF the United States is in real
ATTY an untlmatum, the uselessneSs of
prolonged debate, 1t Is said, has become
apparent TO the Spanlards and 1t Is now
believed the Philippine discussion will
be less protracted than reported some
days ago.
Although the members Of the cabinet
are extremely reticent on the subject of
the acquisition of the Philippines, there
is now little or no doubt that nothing
less than the cession Of the entire group
of islands VIII be accepted by the
American commissioners.
The United States has not assumed
nor guaranteed the so called municipal
deb OF cuba or Cuban municipalities,
but it is expected that such debts will
be paid by the municipalities mourning
them, for by no reasoning could they be
charged upon Spain. Our government,
it is SAID N official circles, would look
upon any attempt at evading the pay
menIs OF sucn uebts as reputation and
dishonest, ana whatever government is
established il Cuba will be expected to
see that these obligations are carried
out i'll good faith Moreover some of

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29.-The great
peace jubilee has been brought to d
close. A rededication of independence
hall occurred and then civic parade
Governor Hastings, Mayor Warwick

the declaration of Independence was
read to the people of the new republic
on July 4, ITO, was interesting. The
building, which had from time to time
since that date been added for uses as
offices of the municipal authorities,
have all been recently removed and the
famous hall is now III Its original form.
The rededlcation exercises were pre-
sided over by Governor Hastings and
were opened by prayer by Rev. DR..
Brownson. The governor also ad-

descriptive of Hawaii, the Philippines,

CANAL DOVER, O., Oct. 29.-The gold
excitement at Malvern is still spread
ing and there now seems to be sufi-
Gent evidence to indicate that gold re-
ally exists in paying quantities.
The details so far from the field have
been nieager because OF the out-of-the.
way location and the infrequency of
travellers from that district to this point.
jacob Gepfert, whose home is in Nal

man and his statements ought to be
authoritative. In speaking OF the new
colorado he said: 1T is difficult to
lind out just what there is in it, for Mr..
Alfred Wartmon, a newcomer, who has
purchased a 81, 900 mining cntfit.
"Some OF the reports have Deen shown
to me. and they are more promising
than the one made by Wartmon which
shows about 1913 of pure gold to the ton
OF quartz. There is one assay made at
the instance of a Malvern man, whose
name l am not privileged to mention,
which shows between $50 and $50 of
gold to the ton.
"If it is all a scheme to raise the price

reports from the Cuban assembly at

Garcia has been chosen permanent
chairman of the organization.
General Maxine Gomez is expected
there today and it appears that the

upon the help of General Gomez to
break the authority of Garcia. The
Oespedes faction expect General Gomez
to appoint courtmartial to try General
Garcia for offenses covering practically
everything from murder to petty lar
ceny, but the probability is that Gen
eral Gomez, recognizing Garcia's as
tendency in the assembly, will not
force the issue.
