THE PLAGUE IS IN EGYPT
WHAT THE DREAD DISEASE H.
CONNECTED WITH
why Europeans I'm Asia Escape It's
Ravages-If it Got To Europe It's Eff
fccts Fatal to the Poor

Commenting on the views that the
plague has obtained foothOld in Egypt
which state of things II regards as a
menace to Europe, The Hospital, says:
Roughly, we know that plague
is i'm some way connected with filth and
nsanitation, with rats with tleas, and
bugs, and other forms of biting vermin,
with overcrowding and want of light
and air, and with the state of DOdy
which results from the use of innutri-
tious food; and when we see that in
Eastern countries, however much She
natives may suffer, the English mostly
escape attack, we are apt to feel that
Europe need not fear. But the English
who thus escape are the clearly and
well fed English, not the English of the
slums; and much as we may hope from
the general measures of sanitation
which during the past twenty years
have so greatly changed the conditions
of life in most Northern capitals, so far
as public sanitation is concerned, we
know too well what are the conditions
of the dwellings which serve as homes
for thousands-nay, for millions-of the
people of this continent, to feel any con-
fidence that Europe is proof from an at
tack of plague. AS we have just said
the conditions in the midst of which, as
all history shows plague is apt to or
cur are well enough known, however
Hllle we may ne dDle " utlllOllSlI dlt
the part which eachJOf them plays in its
propagation. And who will assert that
the conditions which we have enumer-
ated do not exist in London-here at our
very doors? ?"
How did the disease reach Egypt?
A recent correspondent of the British
Medical Journal says:
THE origin of the outbreak has not
been traced, and as all the cases of
plague which have been met with &C.
CURED in persons who have not been &c
the Red Sea coasts for either CONNER
cial or religious purposes, the eXplana-
ton of the outbreak is difficult. One
theory, which seems credible, is that
the infection has been brought to the
| city by pilgrims from Mecca, and that
the disease exists in the town to a
greater extent than is known, and was
in all probability prevalent before the
present cases occurred. This is so con.
stantly the case in Eastern countries
that it is exceedingly likely to be true
of Alexandria"

"HUrLLo" AND "Ht-RRAH."

Philology teaches us that names were
not born outright, but We're the out
come of more or less slow growth.
Among EXPLANATIONS i'm common use,
"Hullo," and "Hurrahl" have curious
origins attributed to them. 1t is said
that the people of Carnwood Forest, in
Leicestershre, when they desire to hail
person at a distance, still call out not
"hullo!" but "halloup," a survival of
the times when one cried to another, "A
loup! a loup!" or as we should now say,
wolf! wolf" "Hurrah!" again, ac-
cording to one authority, is derived
rived from the Slavonic huraj, ito
Paradise" which signifies that all SOL
diers who fell fighting valiantly went
straight to heaven.

TEARS.

Tears, says an American doctor, are
a certain beauty destroyer, and bring
wrinkles to the face sooner than any
thing else. Women who indulge in
weeping on all and every occasion lose
their good looks very early. A smiling
face and a cheerful temper are the best
personalities of beauty in the world.

FLEETING RICHES,

Mrs. Caroline Cox, seventy years old,
who was once worth $4,000, was taken
the other day to the almshouse in
Bridgeport, Conn, by a sheriff, who
had served a writ of execution on her
porperty. Many years ago Mrs. Cox,
who was than "a widow and wealthy,
answered a personal" in a New York
newspaper, and later married Cox, the
man who had inserted it. On their we'd
ding tour Cox persuaded her to raise
$4,000 by giving blanket mortgage on
all of her property to n. S. Wordin of
Bridgeport Cox took the money and
went to California, where he secured a
divorce. Mrs. Cox is now absolutely
without means. Last autumn foreclOs-
ure proceedings We're brought by the
MORTGAGE, and the time for redeeming
the property having expired, Mrs. Coz
was taken to the poor house. Mrs. Con

About Bank Tax.

The First National Bank Of
Muskogee has refused to pay the
Creek royalty tax and the officers
ofthe interior department threaten
to close it up. As a national bank
does business under a charter
from the comptrollerofthe treasury
we fail to see how it can be inter-
fered with. AS the proceedings
were about to bring on a clash be-
tween the interior and the treasury
departments, action was deferred
until further advices could be had
from Washington.-Purcell Regis
ter.
Occupation taxes are resorted to
more or less in every state in the
union and national banks are not
exempt any more than private
ones, or grocery stores.

THE CHIEFTAlN BOYCOTT,
Contemplate Action of the
First National Bank.

Whereas, it has come to the
knowledge of the directors of the
First National Bank that certain
articles have recently appeared in
newspaper known as The Indian
Chieftain rejecting upon the hon.
or and integrity Of a large part of
the stockholders Of this bank and
also urging the officers of the Uni
ted States to enter upon a course
of unjustifed hostility towards a
large part of the stockholders Of
this bank, q. e., the cattlemen),
and it appears that the attacks and
insinuations made therein are I'M
called for and unwarranted and
made out of a spirit Of malice,
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
directors of this bank, thai this
bank do not further patronize said
paper and that the executive Of
ifcers of this bank be instructed to
withdraw all advertisements and
that hereafter to have all print
ing necessary for the bank done by
persons other than those interest
ed in or connected with said Indian
Chieftain.

Modern stateey.

For strategy has in these modern
days assumed additional Importance
from the fact that even when battle
Is Joined its influence is still largely
felt. Distances in a modern battle are
so great, and the minor units become so
dispersed, that the direction of the fight
Is very likely to slip from the grasp
OF the supreme leader. Once launched
In the attack men can rarely do more
than proceed straight to their front.
A change of direction to a flank under
fire will be all but, If not quite, i'm
possible, and it will not be easy to sub
sequently correct errors in direction
made at the outset. A battle will be
fought out much more closely as it was
originally planned, and there will be
little room for sudden inspirations or
brilliant strokes such as formerly made
or marred the day. Now strategy
teaches not how to strike, but where
to strike. not to make the most of a
bad situation, but to insure that the
situation will be the reverse of bad,
that before ever a shot is fired the
odds will be in your favor rather than
in that of your enemy. Not only, there
fore, is strategy as potent a factor as
ever within its own sphere, but it has
invaded the realm where tactics alone
formerly held sway.-London Saturday

There is a growing sentiment
among Cherokee citizens to allow
the Cherokee treaty to sleep, and
10 let the United States authorities
wind up the business in its own
way. Many Cherokees are fully
persuaded that the U. S. could
allot the land independent of all
commissions and treaties better
and fairer than if hampereG by
partisan members of the tribe who
care nothing for the masses. The
proper arrangement for transfer
Of title from the nation to the
individual could be made by an
act Of council.

ON DEwEY'S FLAGSHIP.


There was not an officer or q man oil
the Olympia who talked with a Trib-
une reporter that failed to indorse the
opinion that the American public has
formed of Dewey's character and his
achievements. Although a strict dis
ciplinarian, the admiral has the af-
lection of every one on the Olympia.
In the fo'c'stle the other day. many
stories of his generosity and kindly
nature were being told. One Of these
relates to a third-class apprentice boy,
who had leave to go ashore when the
Olympia was at Trieste.
A little later the admiral noticed that
the lad had not accompanied the lib
erty party. Asked why he had not
gone, the boy replied that he had no
money.
"How much do you want?" the adj
miral asked.
well, I would like a + pound Gan Eng
lish sovereign"
"All right; here it is; now 60 and
enjoy Yourself" Dewey said, as he
handed the boy the money.
On another occasion while the Olym-
pia was at Trieste one of the officers
stopped a whole liberty party from GO
ing ashore because the men did not
have OF the regulation blue chest cloth.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the admiral, who not only per-
mitted the men to go ashore, but or
dered the officer below. Again, while
crossing the Atlantic, the tackles" or
gained some private theatricals. 1t
necessary for one of the char
to wear a dress suit. Dewey
gave the amateur actors his only dress
suit.
In the dinner hour recently the
crew occupied themselves in various di-
versions. Some of them played dom
nos and checkers; some were engaged
n exhibiting the tricks which two
,ats and a Philippine pig have been
rained to perform, while still many
others were seated around the
lecks writing letters. Almost to a man
he marines and bluejackets have come
lome stocked with souvenirs of the I
var. Tom Toohey, a coxswain, has a
I'LL dress uniform and chapeau which I
elonged to Admiral Montejo. The [
dmiral's card is in the lining of the I

THE WORD 81"
Personal Capital Letter Is Used in
No other Language Than
English.

NJ. lola, when in England, was much
impressed with the English use of the
capital 81" why is it," he says, "that
the EnglishmaH, when he writes Of him
self, should invariably use a capital let
ter? Thattall Il which occurs so often
in q personal narrative strikes me as
being very arrogant. A FreDchman,
referring to himself, writes 'je, with a
small T. a German, though he may
crafty all his substantives with capital
letters, employs a small e in writing
ich;ssa ~Spaniard, when he uses the per-
sonal pronoun at all, bestows q small
y in his .yo.' while he bonors the per-
son he addresses with a capital W I
believe indeed-though / am not sufR-
GENTLY acquainted with foreign Ian
guages to speak with certainty on that
point-that the Englishman is the only
person in the world who applies a cap
ital letter to himself" N. lola might
have enforced his contrasts still further
by referring to the japanese, who really
have no word for 81" In speaking of
in japanese self-deprecstory
terms are used, such as servants "the
awkward person." Junior" while IN
speaking Of or TO other people COM
plimentary terms are employed, such
as senior" MASTER" prince" fused
by young men in addressing each other
familiarity. The most usual japanese
equivalent for Il" is "watakushi,"
means literally "selfshness."-

1t is hoped that council will not
delay to pass an act providing for
another Cherokee teacher for the
public school at Vinita. There
are about 200 Cherokee children
in reach of the school and at pres
emit only M teacher is provided
by the Cherokee nation, and there
fore a number of Cherokee children
are excluded from the school. If
the national council would act
promptly in this matter it would
be a great relief to at least a por-
tion of the community.

Whatever is done with reference
to allotment of land by the pres
emit council at Tahlequah, it should
be distinctly understood that the
Curtis bill does not provide for
the kind of allotment the citizens
of the Cherokee nation want, viz:
allotment of the surface without
title. Complete and absolute IT,
tie vested in the individual with
no restrictions upon adult men,
bers of the tribe is what is wanted.
The chief anxiety now is that it be
done with just as little delay as
possible.

From the tone of Commissioner
Jones' report there is little
ground for uneasiness as to the
appraisement and disposition of
town lots in the Cherokee nation.
He recognizes the equity of the
present owners in any subsequent
appraisment that may be made in
the final sale of them. The Che
rokee nation sold all it had to sell
and the money went into the treas
ury for the benefit of the whole
tribe. No high appraisement will
be fair or equitable.
