Curiosities of journalism.

A paper in India recently published
the following explanation: This is en-
ly the beginning of our paper. We
were not sure how much matter was
required to fill it up. and, thinking we
had sufficient. we did not exert our
selves much to get any more We there
fore beg that our readers will excuse us
this time for the space left blank. and
we promise to do better and get more in
the future "
Still more curious was the announce
ment of paper which came out for the
first time with two columns blank, the
editor making the bold announcement
that "a large quantity of exceedingly
interesting matter has been left out
for want of space.

STILL ROOM FOR SETTLERS.
Lots of Land In Oklahoma Open to Home

Three years ago it was generally
considered that all the public lands
of Oklahoma fit for homesteads
had been taken up and, IL fact,
many settlers who had taken gov
ernment lands were about to give
it up in encouragement, but the
good crops of that year turned the
tide, and all who had land kept it.
and as the story of the prosperity
of the territory went out over the
land, settlers began to flock in and
take up the vacant land, much of
which had previously been reject
ed. During the year ending June
80. 1898, 1927 ,466 acres were
fled upon, making 7046 quarter
sections, with family on every
section.
The annual report Of the land
Office officials of the territory, just
completed, show that 666. TAI
acres, or 4167 quarter sections
have been filed on during the year
ending June 80, 1899, showing an
influx of over 10000 families into
the territory during the two years
to take up unoccupied government
land, besides the more than twice
as many that brought relinqulsh-
ments of former settlers or leased
school lands. There is still in the
territory 9,43S. 1873 acres of vacant
public land. subject to homestead
entry. Much of this is good agri-
cultural land, and hundreds of
people are daily going into the
territory in covered wagons to
seek out good locations on this
land.

LAST OF THE GANG.
The Arrest of Tom and Mike O'maIley
DIoses the Llst.

DIoses the LIst.
Tom and Mike O'Malley the last
of the Jennings gang have been ar
rested near Ell Reno, Okla, and
taken to Tecumseh to answer to
several serious charges, train rob-
berry included. The boys have
been in hiding over year, while
trying to escape Details of the
arrest is as follows:
Deputy Sheriff Smith, of Shaw
nee, was out after the O Malleys,
who are accused of horse stealing.
Smith heard they were at Union
City and arrived there last night.
He was assigned to room in the
hotel. When he entered the room
he discovered that others beside
himself occupied another bed. At
7'oclock this morning a man enter
ed the room and going to the empty
bed reached under the pillow and
took out a gun then left.
Smith got out of bed and slipped
into his clothes. Getting outside he
found Tom feeding a horse, he ar
rested him and called on the by
ISLANDERS to arrest Mike. Mike
started to run and as he was enter
ing a cornfeld somebody shot him
through the left arm, between the
wrist and elbow. He ran into the
cornfeld but finally gave himself
up. The wound is very painful,
but not dangerous. Sheriff Smith
took both prisoners to Shawnee on
the 5:15 Choctaw train. The
Sheriff says Tom O. Malley is one
of the nerviest men he has ever
met. After being arrested he
wanted to fight the whole crowd
but was overpowered and hand
cuffed.

He Tells a Good Short Story About

AN emphatic DECLARATION
Which Nearly Took the German
Officers Breath Away BY Its
Audacity.

NEW YORK, April 2I-Capt. J. E.
Coghlan and his officers of the United

at the Union League CLUB tonight. The
dining room was handsomely decorated

large tables were weighted with good

that have been said about him and his

Nitualism In England

In this age of science and criticism, ri
tuaism is a startling reaction Five CEN
turtles have elapsed since Wycliffe and
his disciples totally respected Transubstah-
tiation and the whole circle of doctrine
and practice of which Transsubstantiation
is the centre. Ritualism has come in two
movements, distinguishable from each
other, through the second sprang out Of
the first. The first was the Oxford move
ment, otherwise called Tractaria nism
from its series Of manifestos the "tracts
for the Times" Puseyism, from its official
and Ncwmanism, from it's real chief.
The writer was Il student at Oxford at
the time and remembers how the mediae-
val church, idealized by Newman, took
hold of the fancas Of young men who had
before known nothing but the chilly de-
corum Of the Anglican service and the
preaching of the ''high and dry pulpits.
The Tractarians were gradually drawn
on. by the thorough-going members Of
the party to embrace the whole cycle of
Roman doctrine" and the natural result
followed.
The second movement, which COM
mcnced after an interval of partial co..
lapse following upon NeWman's secession,
is Ritualism properly so-called. 1t. has its
source, not in the desire of a basis for the
church Independent Of the state, or in any
special theory or creed, ecclesiastical or
theological, so much as in an emotional
craving for sensuous worship, church or
dnances, and priestly lninistratio 1t
is traceable in some measures to- the de-
cay of intellectual soelief, which leaves Il
void in the religious nature to-, be filled
by aesthetic emotion. social fashion also
plays its part, SO far as the wealthy
classes are concerned; ritualism is the
thing farthest removed from the vulgar
ity of dissent. The present ascendency of
the party is largely TO be ascribed to the
progress of rationalisn, which has de-
prived the more masculine minds of in
terest in the affairs of the church, thereby
leaving her. to the more emotional and

in search of gold. Mr.. Day left Dawson
