convicts give to new conner. At
six O'Clock every evening the pris-
oners are ordered out OF the house
to allow the guards to search it for
possible evidence of preparations
for a delivery. Immediately after
the examination OF the jail house
last evening a new prisoner was
turned in the Jail yard. A big
athletic. looking prisoner at once
corraled him in a corner and talk
ed chew of tobacco out of him.
Other prisoners espied the tobacco
and soon the newcomer had no
more tobacco than liberty.
Tulsa Republican,
What about the railway land
grants in the Indian Territory? In
1866 congress passed a bill voting
the NJ, K. & T. railway grant of
every alternate section of land for
ten miles on each side of the road.
The grant was made conditional.
1t was not to take effect until the
Indian title was extinguished
Now the question arises: Will The
Indian title in effect become extinct
with the allotment of the land?
Certainly; if the land is allotted
and the allottee permitted to dis
pose of his holdings the Indian
title will become extinct in time
in a very short time, perhaps.
What power then can prevent the
NJ, K. & T. acquiring their pos
sessions? The law is plain, the
purpose at the time was good, the
NJ, X. & T. folks have their eyes
open: they will not give up so vast
grant so easily. Verify, there is
perplexity in all our plans and
stumbling blocks are scattered
along our way.

statesman recently uttered in
discussing the Indian problem
with a number of Territory dele

forceful not alone for the truth

that the prejudices of some, the

Judge Little has introduced in
the house a bill "to establish a
United States court at Sallisaw,
Indian Territory" The people OF
that point have labored long and
earnestly for a court, citing as a
reason why it should be given
them, that they are in the center
of an immense scope of country
south of the present court towns.
They present numerously signed
petitions from eighteen towns
within the territory for which the
court is asked. The petitions have
also been introduced in the senate
by Senator Jones. In addition to
the necessary provisions for the
establishment of the court, as at
other places, the bill contains the
following: "And all instruments
of writing admitted to record under
the laws now in force in said ter
ritory, may be recorded with the
clerk of said court in the same
manner and to the same extent
that they are now recorded at
Muskogee, South McAlester and

Bad Money in Pawn.

A story is floating about to the effect
that a couple of evenings ago. a stran-
ger described as "a short man" came
into a saloon and wanted 10 get a 20
dollar bin for two tens. The man be-
hind the bar looked at the strangers
money and said at once that il was
counterfeit. The caller then admitted
without blushing that he knew the
money was bad. He continued with
a yarn that he had received it from
a Chinaman in exchange for some OPT
UNI. The visitor asked for small loan
with the two bills as security, saying
that if he did not redeem them in the
the bartender could, notify
the police. The story goes that the
loan money was advanced and that the
bad bills We're redeemed promptly the
next day.

The Football Men.

]. Q. Wood, manager OF the Town
football team, said yesterday mat he
was endeavoring to arrange & game
with an eleven said TO have been or
ganiZed in the First New York Regi-
ment. The Town team is very anxious
to get in all possible practice against
the Thanksgiving Day game with Pu-
nahou, on which will turn the 1898
local championship. Soper, Johnson
and Lane, three very strong men, will
soon leave the Town team to begin
practice with their own organization,
the Punahou giants. This will require
the enlistment of some new material
in the Town combination. There is
a possibility of securing Tuft and per-
haps Whitehouse, but perhaps neither
one of those noted men can play. The
Town team will miss very much
who is in Manila with
the soldiers.

Remarkable Record,

Mr.. George T. Angel, the editor @
'Our Dumb Animals" paper pub
lished in Boston in the Interest cf Tb
Massachusetts Society for the Proven
tion of Cruelty to Animals, and ais
The American Humane Education
Society, gives the following concernin,
his great activity at his advanced age
What is the secret of your activit,
at your present age, Mr.. Angel?
Answer. We do not know.
Only two of the original sixteer
directors of our Massach usetts Societ,
are now living-ourself and one other
We have always been of apparently
delicate constitution and health.
Four times we have narrowly escap
ed death-twice by drowning-once
by the falling of heavy block of ice
from high building, which, touching
our shoulder, instantly knocked rs
down-and fourth when past seventy
from double pneumonia, when the
eminent specialist called in said that
our recover, vas beyond hope.
Several other times we have been
placed in circumstances of great and
Imminent danger, and we have gone
through sicknesses apparently suffi-
cient to have killed stronger men.
How happens it that we are still
alive and able to keep working?
We do not know.
We have had the kind wishes OF a
great many friends, and not few who
believe in prayer have offered prayers
sometimes dally] in our behalf.
How far those prayers have helped
us we nave no means of knowing.
Some things which have happened
would seem to strongly indicate that
they have helped US.
Much--vory much has been owing
to the kind care of a good wife.
As the readers of our Autobiography
ical Sketches know, we in past years
devoted good deal OF time and money
to investigating and exposing crimes
against public health in the sale of
poisonous and dangerously adulteratcd
articles and foods sold in our markets,
and the information gathered in those
has perhaps tended to
lengthen our own life somewhat.
Our good mother, during many
years of her life, was accustomed to
1svote two hours of each day to silent
PRAYER.
What influence those prayers have
1ad for our protection and direction,
md what influence her prayers may
nave now, we do not know. We would
much rather have the prayers of the
good than not to have them.

Interesting About Washington.

Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
A letter from Alexandria to the
Richmond Dispatch says:
History tells US that about the be-
ginning of the present century the
States Of Maryland and Virginia donat-
ed 100 square miles of land to the
United States to be known as the Dis
trict Of Columbia, in Which was to be
situated Washington City, the carr'ta'
of the nation. That Of this 100 square
miles, about 81 were on the Maryland
side of the Potomac and 36 on the Vir-
ginia side; that George Washington,
being virginian, az well as the great
est of Americans, objected to any
United States Government buildings
being constructed ot1 the Virginia side
of the river, fearing that the country
and the world would accuse him OF
selfisbness, consequently, in lS4s, a
cIamor arose to give back to Virginia
the western 56 miles of territory that
had been originally donated for part
of the capital eeat of the nation, which
was, in 1913, accordingly done by joint
action of the Legislature OF Virginia
and the United States Congress. This
act OF the Virginia Legislature and
United States Congress has been de-
clared by many leading constitutional
lawyers OF the present day as telne
unconstitutional, upon the ground that
there were no powers having the au-
thority to give away a portion OF the
territory that had been originally Sc
Iected as the National Capital. This
Sc square miles, from 1S4S, or about
twenty years, were under one govern
ment, and had one courthouse, the old
brick courthouse constructed Tor the
use OF the United States, in Alexandria

a handsome courthouse and abandoned
the old United States Courthouse,
leaving the county in possession. The
city aud county having separate gov
ernments the county people objected
to going many miles to the city to
their courthouse, and, In 1898, the law
passed allowing the county courthouse
