LIQUID OR SOLID?
Upon This Question Regarding As
phaIt a Trial in a Trinidad
Court Hinged.

Down in Trinidad, where most of the
asphalt used in paving the streets of
Chicago is produced, opinion is divided
as to whether the substance may be
classed as liquid or a solid. Upon this
issue, says the Chicago Chronicle,
recent trial in Trinidad turned.
The stratum of pitch in that island is
usually from four TO seven feet below
the surface, and, when cut through,
the pitch melts and oozes out. So, it
man dug down near his neighbor's
lot, he would be able to collect pitch
coming from under his neighbor's
land. The plan was described by one
of the witnesses as "the plan adopted
when you want to dig your neighbor's
pitch" 1t "bulges out" he explained,
land you shave it off each morning"
But suit was brought by one outraged
neghbor whose pitch had thus been
shaved off in adjoining land. Phe de-
fense was that an underground stratum
of pitch was like SO much water, no
mans property until appropriated.
But the court held that pitch was a
mineral, and that you had no more
right to abstract ii from a neghbor
by the oozing process than you would
have to tap his deposit of iron or silver

much tortured by the pangs as she is
worried by the prospect of becoming
disheveled, haggard and draggled. She
fights against it to the last and keeps

A FRESH CROP OF HAIR.
Terror al the Danger of HIS SOA
Causes IA Mans Hair to
Change Color.

Everyone has heard stories of men
night as the result of grief or terror.
Many of these tales are doubtless the
mere imaginings of the writers of
sketches, but that such phenomena are
of occasional occurrence has been
fully demonstrated. A,Chicago physi-
journal and vouches for its truth: The
subject was a laboring man in the
stockyards district, aged 3S, who was
not of nervous temperament beyond
being slightly emotional. His hair
was abundant and of dark chestnut
color. One evening as Ike was return
ing home preceded by his horse, on
which was mounted his son, aged eight,
the animal slipped and the child was
thrown off and trampled on several
times. He was only severely bruised,
but the father thought he was killed,
and in trying to save him was terror
stricken. He trembled and had palpi-
tations and feeling of cold and ten
sion in the face and head.
Next day the hairs Of the head, beard
and eyebrows began to fall in quanti-
ties, so that after eight days he was alb
soluteIy bald. AT the same time the
skin of the head and face became paler.
Without delay the hairs began to grow
again in the form of a colorless down.
Soon all the affected regions were COW
cred with finer, more silky and little
more thinly sown, completely white

NO AGREEM ENT.
Allotment According to Con-
stitution and Treaty '66.

The pruning given to the Mus
kogee agreement by the knife of
HE lower house nf the national
kouncil has improved il a great
Deal; but the cutting has not been
sufficient by any means; indeed
ahere is so much glaringly wrong
3till left in it that we can hardly
believe that the trimming that has
been actually done, was in good
Faith. No honest, fair minded
lnan can endorse that outrageous
townsite provision, or ever vote
for that bill as long as il proposes
10 let such remorseless, uncon-
scionable steal occupy a place in
the general plan Of allotment.
Yet there are 80 many leading
members Of the council personally
Interested in this dishonest pro-
8ect. that there is little room to
hope for any relief against this
Sreat wrong by means Of home
hgislation. Why should our ma
foual council--why should the
congress Of the United States-be
willing, nay SO anxious to give a

sick Of this agreement business.
There never has been treaty Of
any importance made by our peo-
pie with the United States without

riched out Of the peoples proper
ty. 1t has always been 80, and we
have no reason to believe that the
outcome of the present negotia-
tions with the Dawes commission
will constitute any exception to
the general rule. Don't you be-

Turn to the constitution of the
Cherokee nation and the treaty Of
1865, and there you will see the
proper plan for allotment all map
ped out. The United States is to
do the allotment for us at its own
expense, whenever we request it.
OF course we, as the heirs of the
estate, have the right to say how
we want the estate divided, how
we want to dispose of our minerals,
townsites, leases, etc. Therefore
let the national council invite the
government to come and allot our
lands; and lei the council, at this
session, and at once, draft such
specifications as will clearly set
forth how we want the land d.
vided, and what we want done
With our minerals, our towns,
leases, etc. Pursuing this course,
you see, we will be acting upon
our legal rights, and have the
right to insist upon a compliance
with our wishes.
This plan has the credit Of pre-
cluding the time-honored practice
Of iobbery. Too oUA-sTEE.

miserable pretense, sham, the
argument of fraud. These men
who bought the occupancy Of these
lots from the nation and made
improvements upon them, did so
with their eyes open. They are
not innocent investors. They
know that the land upon which
these expensive improvements
were being made, belonged to the
Cherokee people The Cherokee
nation never did a thing, said a
word, or made pretense, that could
possibly have mislead them. They
bought the occupancy from theChe-
rokee nation, and they have had,
and are now having what, and all,
they bought. They are in no po-
sition to claim equities against the
rest of the Cherokee people. Those
who make this agreement Of "ac-
crued equities" have never been
able to show where, or how, they
have accrued.
"But O., is said "these men
have added value to these lots,
and it would be wrong to deprive
them of it," This argument is
false. The improvements have
added no value whatever to these
lots But the only value there is
in the improvements, is derived
from the lots. These improve
ments anywhere else but on these
lots, would be worthless.
But it is said, again, these town
men have paid something for these
lots; this is not true. They paid
for the right TO occupy them, and
for nothing else. Bnt this argu-
ment amounts to nothing. Sup
pose this town man had paid
million of dollars for the right to
occupy his lot; still he would have
no better property in the lot in
question, than the man in the
country has in the farm upon
which he has simply squatted;
simply the right to occupy. The
property in the soil, in both cases,
is in the Cherokee people.
Why then, why then, should
there be any difference made be-
tween the treatment of these two
men, in the plan Of allotment2
How do these men propose to
make this allotment, upon what
principle? Do they mean to say
that each man is to have a piece
of the common estate just in pro-
portion to the amount of money he
has unwisely invested, or foolish.
ly squandered, in an illicit en-
deavoT 10 speculate upon tie COM
mon property of the people?
But concede that, by these i'm
provements, these men have in
deed added great value to these
lots; does that eniitle them to the
lots9 There is nothing in reason,
or law, to sustain such a position;
it is the argument of pure selfish
ness and greed. The value of
piece of property always belongs
10 the man who owns the proper
ty, and it makes no difference how
it got into the property or who put
it in. These lots now belong TO
the Cherokee people; if there is
any value in them that was not in
them when these men bought their
that value also belongs
to the Cherokee people, and not
to the men who claim to have en-
hancsd this value.
AS these town men can show no
better property in these lOts, than
