DECIDED BY INDIANS.
Status of North Carolina Cherokees Determined by Election.
TNe State Senate in Settling a Com test Case Takes the Vote of the Indians-Relation of In
 dinns to Suffrage.

The Cherokee Indians of North Caro-
 lima numbered by the last federal cen-
 sus 2,SS5, and there were by the same
 census in North Carolina 231 "lndians
 rot taxed" this being the distinction
 between Indians having the right to
 vote and Indians not having that priv ilege. Indians not taxed are tribal h.
 dians whose relations with the govern
 ment of the United States are regulated
 by treaty; Indians paying taxes are ln- dians who have surrendered their ale glance to their chiefs and have become American citizens with all the rights, privileges and responsibilities which
 that relation implies.
 The state senate of North Carolina at Raleigh has recently decided a contest ed election between Cannon and Franks from the extreme western or mountain district. Cannon, democrat, contend cd that the election of Franks, a repub- lican, was obtained by the votes of Cherokee Indians in Swain county who were not qualified electors. The com mittee on elections, o whom the matter was referred, decided that those In dians are not tribal under the treaty of 1895, and should be recognized as citi- zens of North Carolin. Franks retained his seat.
 Swain is one of the small mountain counties of North Carolina, having a total population of less than 7,OO0 in an area of 425 square miles, about the same as Chemung county, \. Y., and inhabit ed chiefly by backwoodsmen in he re- zion Of the Great Smoky mountains, which constituted the boundary line be- tween North Carolina and Tennessee. though they do not constitute any boundary line between the inha bit ants, those on the Kentucky side being in fact the same as on the North Caro- lima ledge.
 The relation of Indians to the suf- frage has long been subject of dispute and matter of controversy in the elec- ton laws of the United States. In Arizona all Indians are excluded from territorial suffrage. In Michigan and 1 Minnesota untaXed Indians are ex- cluded from rights which in the former state aliens enjoy. In Mississippi un- taxed Indians are included in the same official category with idiots, fel- | Ons and insane persons and citizens | who have not paid their taxes. In Mon- tana and Nevada all Indians, whether retaining their tribal allegiance CT not. are excluded. In New Mexico al, Indi- | ans are excluded except Pueblo Indians : who are exempted. In Oklahoma h. lianS having tribal relations are eX- | cluded from the rights of suffrage, as they are in Wyoming. while in Wash ngton the untaxed Indians are eX- ,luded and the taxed Indians are per nitted to vote. It is a somewhat marked peculiarity of Indian election

 the pretty varieties, which is an olt
 fashion revived.
 Mousseline velCurs is new material
 for evening gowns. It has finish like mirrCr velvet. but a longer nap. more
 like panne. and the warp is usually q
 contrasting color. giving it change
 able effect.
 Foreign fashion Eotes tell us of a hat 1 pin with a fastener secured by tiny gold chain. which makes it impossible
 to lose the pin without losing the hat
 Pins with chains attached are used a9 hat ornaments to fasten a bunch of
 flowers in place.
 Spring and summer goods are now i filling the shops. and to get the first 1 and prettiest designs in thin goods one 1 must not wait until March. Cheviots i are in pretty stripes. plain colOrs and
 in rather large diagonal plaids. Some Of he cheaper cheviots make excel l lent skirts. and having considerable body they do not require much starch, and they are not unpleasantly slimsy without any. They must be selected in suitable stripes.
 \ solid plaid in white goods makes up attractively and with a certain style of it's own. Figured white has the ad- vantage that it does not show every wrinkle as do the plain goods. A waist made of the white plaid with sleeves and yoke of the plain is very pretty.
 When velvet is used on an evening waist it must be of the softest quality. The mirror velvet is very much in de- mand, for it is more on the plan of the liberty satin and velvet. and goes into soft folds, and has none of the harsh ness of the heavier velvets. The shades that are used are exquisite. a pretty fashion being the introduction of some contrasting color. A white gown would be relieved by light pink or bright blue velvet introduced on the waist around the low-cut neck and in the sleeves, while with the gray gowns is often seen yellow velvet; indeed, yellow and gray are considered most artistic. If the yellow is not becoming, it can easily be softened with white lace.
 A pin box is a novelty that appeals to every woman. It is d common failing of the sex never to be able to keep a supply of ordinary pins, safety pins1or lairpins on hand, and the pinboX is dc signed to cbviate this difficulty. It-is nearly foot long and about five inches wide, and is made of white metal or solid silver. Inside it is lined with-xel- :et. and diTided into compartmentsvfo for shell hairpins, ordinary hairpins, hat 1iDs. safety pins, and, in short. pins of III sorts. The box is beautiful orna- ment for the handsomest of dressing .ables. and is a great time as well as 5emper saver.-Boston Budget.

WOE IN THE FAMILY.
The Mean Revenge That Was Taken by Woman PeddIer of Un-
 certain Age.

''Is Mrs: Benton in ?' inquired a good looking girl carrying a number of sofa pillows, as she knocked at the door of the top flat in the big building at Sixty fourth street and Ellis avenue. Mrs Benton was in, and to her the girl con fided the fact that she was selling real sea-moss stuffed sofa pillows at one dollar each. Mrs. Benton didn't care to invest in the spicious-lOOking ar ticles, and the girl went away in huff. Ten minutes later there was another knock on the door. This time it was the tenant from the first floor come up to ask Mrs. Benton if she could change q tivedollar bill.
 I've been all through the building trying to get it changed" she said as she put it back in her purse. Il want ed to buy one of your nieces sofa pill lows, but l guess 1 will have to wait till some other time. She said she would let me have one for 75 cents. But what's the matter, Mrs. Benton? Are you i'll ?'
 Mrs. Benton dropped into a chair and gasped: Buy one of my niece's pill lows! l haven't got any niece. Why, did that woman have the impudence to tell you she is my niece? Why-why, she's a stranger 10 me and she's older than l am, know she is. l never saw her in my life before this morning"
 Well, she told me she was your niece" said the drst-toor lady, looking somewhat frightened. T am sure couldn't be mistaken. And she seemed such a sweet kind of girl. Why, she =7en said you had raised her arg taught

 In close election contest, such as the one which has been recently deter mined in North Carolina, the impor- tance of the Indians and their status might, in some closely contested coun- ties be decisive, and it is worthy of con- sideration that the Raleigh senate. which has determined this question, comprises ten fusionists and 40 demo- crats, whereas the Raleigh house of representatives has an overwhelming democratic majority large enough to override the republicans in that body. Indian voters have never been q factor in elections in the state of New York, though there are nearly twice as many Indians in this state as untaXed Chero- kees in North Carolina.-N. |. Sun.

 Bat Mrs. Benton jumped in a hurry. I'll go right down stairs with you and ask her what shes means. She's the most outrageous person ever heard of. The idea of my raising that cid thing!"
 When Mrs. Benton and her friend got downstairs the girl had gone. but a tour of the building revealed the fact that many of the tenants had bought pillows on the suppositiOn that they were assisting Mrs. Benton as well as her niece. One of them, a Mrs Graves, added that she didn't intend to buy un- til the young lady had told her what a hard time Mir. Benton was having to pay the rent, and what a failure his drug store had proved. and how the young woman was going clown to meet AIr. Benton with the money and give it to him, because he was such dear. kind uncle to her.
 That evening after supper an indig- nant young couple called on everybody in the big fiat building, and, after pro- testing their ignorance of the pillow peddler, left full description of all their friends and relatives as basis for future references.
 ''The idea of that hussy telling them I was her aunt, said Mrs. Benton to her husband when they got back.
 What kills me is the cold nerve of the thing in saying I couldn't pay my rent" said her spouse.-Chicag Inter

If You Have Pain In Your Back.

Let us give you a piece of advice :
Pain in the back is an almost infalli-
Bile sign of Kidney disease; a surer
sign is the condition of your urine, if
you have q pain in your back then
look to the condition of your urine.
1t is easy done. Take glass tumb-
Ter and fill it with urine, after it has
stood 24 hours; if it has a sediment,
if it is milky or cloudy, if it is pale
or discolOred, stringy or rOpy, your
Kidneys and Bladder are in a dan
gerOus condition and need immediate
attention, or the consequences may
prove fatal.
DIR. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy is the one medicine that
really cures all diseases of the Kid
neys, Liver, Bladder and Blood,
Rheumatism, Dyspepsia and Chronic
Constipation and corrects the bad eff
fects of whiskey and beer on the
system. 1t is wonderful, how it
makes that pain in the back disap-
pear, how it relieves the desire to
urinate often, especially at night
and drives away that scalding pain
in passing water and in remarkably
short time makes you well and strong
