THE sENTINEL's VANITY.

lievement OF evil. Our contem-
larry. the Tahleouah Sentinel,
indeed some occasion to feel
d over ~ Downing victory; to
would be false TO its
Gealth of silly
1!H eod have got it, sure
enough. You don't believe it?
Just consider the case of the Sen
tinel, and see for yourself how it
is; and doubt no more. 1t claims
the whole honor of making Mr..
Burlington governor, and it feels
just as vain of the imaginary dis
tinction as if ii were a simon-pure
reality. Sure, there is no reason
why we all may not be heroes,
when valor is so cheap. True
enough, the Chleftain did not
speak very often during the cam
paign; but the Sentinel kept crow
ing ali the time. But it said moth
ing that could have the least pos
sible effect in shaping the choice
of the voters. The only thing it
could say was, that it was in favor
of T. NJ. Burlington; that was all.
Well, the Chieftain was too; but
we have been willing TO share the
glory of his election with the noble
hundreds that voted for him, and
not, in a piggish way, attempt to
monopolize the whole of it.
But the success of the Downing
party is, as it is figured out by the
Sentinel, the success of the late
agreement. We do not so under
stand it. That agreement, as far
as it relates to allotment, is not
fair; il does not deal equally with
the people. In the division of an
estate among the heirs, or claim
ants, there is only one simple rule
to be observed. Every individual
should be allowed just as much as
every other individual. Every di-
vision that does not conform to
this rule is unjust, and justly lays
the parties that make it, liable TO
the charge Of dishonesty.
But how is this dead agreement
to be brought to life and ratified.
We remember that the Sentinel
proposed a plan like this: The
National Council was to enact it
into the form of law; then send |
it to the president and have him
approve it. That would kill the
cat at once and end the trouble. |
Mighty ingenious plan sure. 1t
would eliminate tHe Cherokee peo- |
pie from the problem entirely and
give the ringsters complete con-
troll. If the constitution and laws
or the Cherokee nation were in !
|force, as they were a short time
ago, such a proposition might have |
something Of the favor of treason |
about it; but everything seems to
be right while the Mayes admins
tration lives. But when a big hon.
est Tom gets hold of the reins, we
shall see a little different driving; |
let the Sentinel mark that. !

The Chieftsin thinks and says
if the Cherokee board of education
can be subdued the rest is easy.
Time was when the educational
board was the most harmless or
ganization. The Ketowahs were
nothing by the side of it, and both
Downings and Nationals were
fearful of the same men who had
the power to appoint all of the
teachers. Gus Ivey those days
was the manipulation, but time has
evened up all those things and the
board shorn of its prestige and
power.-Muskogee Times.

Cherokee school matters are not
in as eruptive a state as in the
Greek country, but all is not peace
and harmony nevertheless. There
has been no open rupture between
the board and the United States
authorities, but there may be. The
Cherokee board is not a legal
board, it is said, on account of one
of the members being below the
legal age required by the Cherokee
law. This being true the acts of
the board it is claimed, could be
set at naught.

is nearly black and makes rich and beau
tiful trimming which is in great demand
The bau marten is darker than the stone
marten and is considered by many women
more dressy, but both kinds are used exten-
sively for trimming purposes. Mink is also
among the popular furs of the season, but is
used more extensively for lining and for
muffs and cuffs than for larger garments
The mink has remained popular through
many seasons" said the expert, because
there is nothing to replace it. 1t is clearly
the most useful of all our materials because
It's uses are not sharply defined. 1t can be
used in place Of nearly any other fur and is
one of the best lining furs in the market"
The broadtail, which is a beautiful fur,
can be used only in conjunction with other
material. 1t is too long haired for service,
and for that reason will not become as popu-
lar as other furs which are less attractive.
The fox skin, when cut into bits and
patches" said the fur department superin-
tendent, "ceases to be the handsome article
for wear that nature has made it, To get
the full effect the skin should be left whole
head, tail and all-then we get the handsome
ornamental garment which made the fox so
popular few years ago"
Sealskn continues to be popular and not
withstanding the reports as to the scarcity
OF seals and the failure of the last catching
season, the prices are no higher than they
were last season. This fur is used ex-
tensively for trimming in gowns and wraps.
Some of the most striking opera wraps OF
white and other light cloths have hoods and
broad front trimming of sable and selected
mink For mems wear the season furnishes
nothing new. Black, full cut coats, with seal
or mink lining, are popular as ever with
those who can afford to indulge in the lux
ury, but makers of these garments say that
the chinchilla and mink collars and cuffs
will not be worn as much as in former sea-
sons and that the best coats will be made
severely plain.

Manufacturers OF fur garments and dealers
in fur have been busy during the last few
weeks and the fur season OF 1S99-l900 will be
remembered as one of the best in many
years. THE reason for this" said the man
ager of the fur department in one of the
large stores to a New York Tribune reporter,
lis that women are not satisfied with one
garment as they were few years ago, and
want variety in that line of dress as we'll
as in other show garments, That Is the
reason Tor the increased trade in costly gar
ments, but other branches OF the business
have also been booming. The variety OF furs
is large, and the styles favor fur as a trim
ming material more than they have for
years"

WOMEN SERVE THEIR STATE.
Dignity nnd Femininity of Three
IdnhO RepresemtntiNes.


Idaho Representatives
A woman does not necessarily lose her
femininity when she accepts public office.
A woman suffrage amendment was carried
in Idaho in 1896 and in 1898 three women
were elected to the state house of repre-
sentatives, Mary A. Wright. Clara L. Camp
bell and Hattie F. Noble, all OF whom have
fulfilled their duties to the complete salts
faction of their constituents and with credit
to themselves.
Mrs. Wright, the representative from
Kootenai county, is a teacher and has long
been recognized as one OF Idaho's most sue
cessful educators. Both herself and hus-
band are large taxpayers. She has always
taken an active interest in educational and
other public affairs and while she has made
a study of public questions and is posted,
she is not a professional politician in any
sense of the word
She Is an active worker in primaries,
county and state conventions and has served
on some of the most important committees
in these conventions, as she has also in the
legislature. During the campaign OF 1896
she worked for the suffrage amendment, not
as a political issue. but as an act of justice
to women appealing to all partieG. She says
that 1t is difficult for them to understand
the prejudice that exists in the east and
says
II only wish the eastern states could see
us enjoy our freedom, ana we are just as
feminine as though we had never exercised
the franchise and our husbands, fathers and
brothers are just as fond OF us as they ever
were. oh, how wish the east could under
stand as we do!"
Mrs. Clara L. Campbell represented Ada
county in the Idaho legislature the past
winter, She was born and educated in Con
necticut. Mrs, Campbell has had no special
career" but has been thrown upon her own
resources owing to the feeble condition OF
her husbands health which has given her
training and experience which IN connec-
tion with her sound sense and upright char
acter 1t her for almost any public position
OF trust and responsibility.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE con-
versation began with expressions OF
sympathy and opinions on the Boer war
and there was some danger of bitter words
and serious controversies arising between
the pro- Dutch contingent and few enthus-
iastic anglomaniacs present, The hostess
however, poured oil on the troubled waters
by asking Maisie's opinions concerning a
nice material for an all around house gown.
Now Maisie is a bit of an anglomaniac;
her brothers sister in law married last year
the fourth cousin Of baronet, and with
tulle -turbaned head proudly erect and flash
ing eye she was about to delivery very tart
retort defending the British claims, when
the hostess seemingly innocent remark
turned the point of her anger into a smile
OF pleased and diverted interest.

OF the British aristrocracy, II think there
is nothing like camel's hair, II your gown is
for real service as well as beauty"
Just what | was going to say too" cor
daily broke in Mrs. Van Knickerbocker, who
really knows more of the qualities of camel's
hair than of Boer wrongs and British rights.
