SAILED ON SHORT NOTICE
Three Hours to Prepare for
Journey TO Manila.

A recent letter received by Mrs.
DR.. Bell informs her that her
brother, Lieut.. Allen Cook, U. S.
N, is assigned to the Nashville
and on his way to the Philippines.
Most of last winter he was on duty
at the Charleston navy yard, BOs-
ton, and in the early summer he
and Mrs. Cook took a cottage in
one Of the many fashionable sub
uTbs OF that city. During the
summer the gentleman was assign
ed TO the war school at Newport,
where he delivered a course of lee
lures, at the same time taking
certain studies. One day a short
time since, although entitled TO
two years shore duty, Lieu
tenant Cook was ordered TO be
ready for sea in three hours
and obeyed. The ship sailed un-
der sealed orders, the company
supposed to spend the winter in
Cuban waters. When the orders
were examined, down in the West
Indies somewhere, it was found
that Manila was their destination.
This is an episode in the lives of
our naval officers, though seldom
is so short a period as three hours
named for preparation for a cruise
that cannot well last less than two
years. Lieut.. Cook passed an ex-
animation at Philadelphia since
be was here which has advanced
him eight numbers in the line OF
promotion. He is still an ensign,
the equivalent of lieutenant, and
as the navy is organized that will
be his title until he becomes lieu
tenant commander.
The Indian Chieftain has stood
for what it conceived to be the
best for the community in which
it lives. 1t has insisted on the
observance of the American Sab
bath, it has discouraged saloons
and gambling dens, and wherever
possible pointed them out to the
officers of the law. 1t has espec-
tally urged the enforcement of the
prohibitive liquor laws on all oc-
casions, and the absence of saloons
and gambling houses in Ninita
now is in a large measure due to
the efforts of The Chieftain. All
this is deemed to be detrimental
to tbs town, by those who have
undertaken the task of dictators.
The tax on imported cattle in
the Cherokee nation is fifty cents
a head. Since the last taxes were
collected, in 1892, there has been
on an average $4,000 cattle i'm
ported annually. The tax, if 1t
had been paid, would have amount
ed in round numbers TO S175, 900. |
This money is yet due the CherO-
KEGS and ought to be paid as
matter of right.
1t takes about 500 a week to
run The Chieftain and four men,
probably worth a million and a
a quarter of dollars, have stopped
their papers-4O cents. II it were |
not that others are coming in rap
idly, chiefly because they approve
of the papers independence, to
make up this defcit(?) we would |
just try and run the shop for

WOMAN'S iNHUMANITY.
She Treats Wayfaring Man. With Heart
less Selfishness.

Woman's inhumanity to man is q
good deal in evidence. The late Sen.
ator Morgan of Indiana was, 1t will be
remembered, an invalid and cripple
he came into company at the capital
enc day In q state of great indignation
because, in street car crowded with
young women, not one had offered hilr
a seat, and he had been compelled to
make the journey painfully and pre-
cariously supported upon his clutches.
Inc like of this may very often be
seen. Humanity, consideration for
weakness and helplessness, is the root
of which chivalry is the fine flower.
1t is a startling proposition that
mans inhumanity to- man is less than
womans but the time seems to give it
some proof. At any rate, a man evil
IDENTIFY disabled would not be allowed to
stand in public conveyance in which
able-bodied men were seated, even in
the most unchivalrous part of our
country which 1 have given some rea-
son for believing to be the city of New
York.
And, if that be true it seems that the
assumption of the right of an able
bodied wom4. to remain seated while
a disabled man is standing is an as
sumption that the claims of chlvalry
are superior to those of humanity.
On the other hand, it may fairly he said
that the selfishness of women with re-
gard to the wayfaring man is more
thoughtless and perfunctory than The
selflishness of men with regard TO the
wayfaring woman. In this country, at
least, this later is IN all cases felt to he
a violation of propriety and decency.

be both on his defence and without de-
fence, when he is arraigned for it,

Such Is the Under
grad at Smith
College.
GIRLS TO RECKON WITH.
The Pretty Part Of 1t Is
Their Perfect
Freedom.

Altogether the pleasantest way to at
tend Smith College is to be a man and
go in as visitor. Does that sound
easy? Try and see l venture to pre-
dict that you will find it the most ar
duous task in the world.
The trouble is not that the Smith girl
is cold and forbidding. She is, upon the
contrary, far too amiable. In her anx-
iety to make you happy she scares you
well out of your masculine senses
writes Rollin Lynde HART in Leslie's
Monthly. 1t is all in the difference Of
point of view, no doubt, but she will
make never the least allowance for
your sex. She thinks it pleasant to
perch on the veranda of the Dewey
house between Rotations, and she rea-
sons that you also would like to sit on
the doorstep with an endless stream of
youthful femininity running by you.
You wouldn't; you would rather be in
purgatory' but you stick it through
like man. She loves to stroll about
the pretty campus in the shade of droop-
ing elms. Then why should not you,
TOO, with the whole institution taking
note of your presence? She goes faith
fully to chapel for the good Of her soul,
and she takes you along for the good
OF your own, albeit you find yourself a
lone lorn man amongst nine hundred
and fifty impressive young ladies. You
acquire an abiding sense of general in
security. You didn't know there were
so many girls, and I'll wager you
don't believe 1t now. But still, when
the shock of novelty has passed, you
rather like 1t; later you love it; and
latest you think you came by it all
honestly and hate to part with 1t.
There should really be no such thing as
an unearned increment in the social
world; only the brave deserve the fair,
Yet the main point is this: Coming as
a man, you get all of the play and none
Of the work. The moment you leave,
these young ladies give over making
straw without bricks and go back to
making bricks without straw. At least.

Some one has come along with new
notion about why woman dearly loves
bargains.
The idea is that women do not pursue
cheapened prices because they meanly
want to buy goods under their rightfuI
values.
On the contrary, says the discoverer
it is the creative, the mother spirit in
woman which leads her to make some
thing worthy from a thing despised
that renders her a bargain hunter In
stances are given of women who have
furnished their houses from sales" of
old furniture and 1t is insisted that the
only homes are those which grow from
little to much, "The professional dec
orator never made a home" declares
the champion of women and her bar
gains. Likewise. the most successful
wardrobes grow under the direction of
the intelligent women who wear them.
She who can fashion or order fashioned
out of material which has been

in her garment is unmatched by the

This is new light on the bargain
hunting sex. And it is reflected for
what is may be worth Anyway, these
are the days of bargains, marked
down" signs greet the vision common
~, even in the highest class shops. L
think that the custom of placarding
choicer bargains is growing. Women
like 1t. To have everything in a store
ticketed might become monotonous:
these little surprise piles here and there
pique the attention.

The old walled city of Manila is a
place of much interest to Americans
because we have none such in our
own country. The wall is about three
miles around and forty feet through.
1t was intended for artillery, and there
are still some obsolete guns left. There
are q moat and drawbridges.
There is no vacant land inside the
walls. The streets and the plazas are
the only land not covered with build
lngs. The streets are very narrow and
the sidewalks will scarcely allow two
persons to pass. The upper stories of
the houses overhang the street and the
lower windows are grated. The graf

KIND IDEA ABOUT WOMEN AND BARGAINS.

be made, and the ends reached to the
bottom of the dress. There was a
high neck ribbon of cherry color, and a
hat made from the same tone in silk
muslin Bright red has been accepted
only a few seasons as a summer color.
Formerly it was thought too fiery in
appearance for comfort. Tempered
with white, it now has the full summer
approval of those to whom it is becom-
ing at any season.

be was worn at the Suburban. Of for

She was brought up in eastern Prussia,

ficiency in twenty-three, which includ-
ed covering a Swedish mile, treading
water and swimming fully dressed, even
to hat, boots and gloves. She can dive
backward from height of eighty feet,
turning a Somersault before striking
the water; and can take two pupils in
her arms and dive with them, so
strong is she.

II is difficult TO find enough of this ma
terial with spots the size of peas to
make a gown. Larger spots, or IDIOTS, -
as fastidious woman calls them, are
obtained readily. And so are pinhead
dots. The last are liked especially by
persons who dote upon iron grays. And
reasonably so. OFrom "a distance the
effect of many small black spots upon
white surface Is gray. There is
never any doubt of the color of a gown
with black spottings the size of peas.
The result is clear, and always fash
ionable. Never more so than just now.
