ARDMoRE, FRIDAY. DEC. 2.

A GREAT many are wanting to
know what is meant by the term
married OUT in reference to ci-
tizenship rights in the Chickasaw
nation. 1t simply means that in
1890 the Chickasaw legislature
passed law providing that when
a non-citizen married a citizen of
the Chickasaw nation; and by such
inter-marriage secures a right of
citizenship in tho nation i'll the
event of the death of the husband
or wife of the inter-married citizen
and the remarriage to another per-
son who was nOn-citizen, that
the inter-married citizen lost all
his title and claim to citizenship
in the Chickasaw nation, such
rights have been conferred on the
person by inter-marriage, which
lnCer-marflaSe was no longer III
force or effect therefore the claim
of the inter married citizen was
forfeited upon a second marriage
to a non citizen. There is Il great
batch of contests under this law
The Chickasaw commission with
the Dawes commission protested
against the enrolment where claim
was made in such cases as come
under the act of the legislature
named above, and these causes are
expected to be finally disposed of
at South McAlester on March 18th.

commission Will Go to mississippi.

The Dawes commission to treat
with the FIVE civilized tribes of In
,dians and to allot their lands, will
leave December 18th for Pontotoc,
Miss, where they will make an eff
fort to treat with the Chickasaw In
dians now remaining in that coun-
try.
The appropriation bill which was
passed by congress, creating the
Dawes commission with power to al
lot the lands of the five tribes,
had a clause, inserted by the con-
gressmen from Mississippi, author
izing the commission to visit the old
Chickasaw reservation in Mississip-
pi, and treat with the Chickasaws
remaining there, buy their lands and
induce them to move, and on this
errand the commissioners start on
the 18th of next month.
When the treaty of 1882 was con-
cluded, by which treaty the Chicka-
saws, in common with the Choctwas,
sold their holdindgs in Mississippi,
and agreed to moveto their present
home in the Indian Territory, there
was a provision in that treaty to the
effect that the members of the tribe
desiring to remain on the old reser-
vation in Mississippi should be allow
ed to do so, and take allotment of
lands Ouita larpe hodv Of the
Chickasaw tribe remained behind in
Mississippi on the old reservation,
and with these Indians the Dawes
commission will endeavor to treat.
Congressman from Mississippi pre-
eented the statement that these In
dians were hindrance of the pro-
gress of that portion of the state of
Mississippi, where they were located
and that their removal by the United
States was a necessity. They hold
their allotments under the treaty OF
1882, however, and rs they areI ap.
parently well satisfied with their
present location, it is hardly likely
that treaty with them will be easy.
If treaty is perfected, however, it
is probable that these remaining
members of the Chickasaw tribe will
come to the Indian Territory Den

That Purcell is no cotton market
was very apparent to every Ard
moreite who visited that place this
week. Four or five bales on the
street at one time was the greatest
number 1t also seemed fact that
one would meet more Ardmore
people on the streets than citizens
of that town. The hospitality of
PurcelPS people, however, is the
most generous.

planted in England is not known, but

EXCUR SIONS.

The Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company has provided one of the most
delightful trips that the visiting clergy and
sir knights will be able to enjoy during
their stay in this city. This is a special
excursion tomorrow evening to Fortress
Monroe and Norfolk. One Of the elegant
steamers of the Norfolk and Washington
line will leave Ith street wharf tomorrow
a. 6:3o pm, arriving at Fortress Monroe
early Sunday morning and reaching this
city on the return trip on Monday morning
at $50 o'clock. This trip gives two nights
on the Potomac and Chesapeake. with the
entire day Sunday at Fortress Monroe,
Norfolk. Newport News, Portsmouth or
other nearby resorts, without interfering
with the attendance upon the various con-
ventions. Strangers in the east will find
interest in viewing Hampton Roads, where
the famous battle between the Monitor and
Merrimac was fought; the navy yard at
Norfolk and the shipyards at Newport
News, where the huge battle ships Ken
lucky. Kearsarge and Illinois, the latest
additions to Uncle Sans Eavy. are being
finished. The clergy and visiting knights
who are unable TO take this special trip
should return home via Fortress Monroe.
This can. be done without any marked
change of route the Norfolk and Wash
ington line will allow special rates, and
al Norfolk connections are made with
steamers and trains for all points north,
south and west
The visiting knights and their friends
who have not yet seen the beauties of
Arlington will have an opportunity to go TO
this celebrated place very economically
Sunday. The Washington, Alexandria and
Mount Vernon Railway Company will again
reduce the regular fl for the round trip
to Arlington on the coming Sunday. The
low rate at which tickets are sold and the
convenient schedule on which the eelctric
trains run enable practically every one to
spend part of Sunday at this beautif ii
national cemetery Strangers will find
much of interest about the place. in view

many other of the atoms illustrious dead.
Electric trains leave the station at 1917

The electric trains also form the quickest
and most convenient route to Mount Yer
non. the home and tomb Of Washington,
leaving every hour from 10 am. to pm.
and for Alexandria about every forty-five
minutes
Strangers in the city who wish to visit
Arlington will make a very pleasant trip
of it if they take the electric cars at the
Aqueduct bridge. These cars can be reach
ed by both the avenue and F street lines,
giving ride through the west end of the
city and Georgetown to the bridge. A walk
over the bridge in the cool river breezes is
to be desired rather than otherwise, and
the electric cars on the Virginia side run
direct to Arlington and Fort Myer. These
cars also form the most convenient route
to Falls Church and intermediate points.
They leave the bridge about every half

Marriage and Divorce,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Permit me through your columns to ask
John Thompson question or two In his
article of the 18th he says:
IF for grave reasons it is sometimes per-
mtted the innocent party to live separate
ly, divorce may be obtained-so far as it
is understood to mean only a separation
from bed and board, but divorce in the
sense that a divorced person may remarry
during the lifetime of his or her partner is
forbidden by the law of Cod And con-
continuing, adds:
IF in some cases this law may be bur-
densome, the hardship to the few is small
compared with the immense good derived
from this law by society at large
Now, what l wish John Thompson to tell
me is, in what manner does society derive
the immense amount of good he speaks of?
Will society be in any way benefited shonId
an unprincipIed scoundrel marry an mo
cent young girl, and then, after some little
time, desert her-cast her upon the cold
mercy of the world? Can he point to one
instance where such itreachery and PC idy
has rebounded to ahH good of socie,y at
large? He goes where he wills does what
he wills, there is sDthing said, only, oh,
he's man." Nnwt then. take the de-
serted wife. What if sshe did the same?
Would the John Thpmpsons say oh she is
a woman. No! and well John Thompson
Would society derive the immense amount
of good, of which be speaks, if it received
her with open armsfand winked? Would 1t
not be thousand f1nTes better to give her
a divorce than to tabs chances of her he
coming lewd? If she Should be weak and
unable to battle with the world. friendiess
and homeless, would the John Thomnsons
the church, and socaety come to her rescuea
Would 1t benefit anyhody or anything for
her to crawl into m dark corner there to
die? Would it mt be a thousand times
more human to gfans's her a divorce and
should the opportunity offer, remarry a
man who would proveya good and true bus
band? In that case. God being an eauable
and just God. the sins should, and viii be
borne by the one guilty Of the cause of the
separation, and not by the innocent one.
