EXTRA SESSION NOT WISE.

The leading topic among Chero.
kee politicians now is whether il
is expedient to call the national
council together in extra session
and attempt to formulate another
agreement with tie Dawes com
mission. The sentiment about
Vinita is largely against an extra
session, though some favor it.
Ifit be fact that congress does
not consider the old treaty dead,
but that it only needs amendment,
then in that event the council
could enact IL into law with such
notifications as have been sug-
gested by the Indian committee at
Washington and thus secure its
early ratification by congress.
The thing the Cherokees now
want most is final and absolute
division of their land with indi-
vidual title. The present state OF
unrest cannot endure, and is
against every form of advance
ment in the Cherokee nation.
But the question of the neces-
siy Of call Of council this sum-
mer is another proposition. There
is so much politics ahoat at the
present time, no move can be
made that will not SAVIOR of parti-
sanism.
Itis hardly possible that an ex-
ira session of the national council
at this time could be conducive of
good results, and perhaps the mo-
tives of the principal chief would
be misunderstood or impugned.
It will no doubt be better to wait
till the regular session in Novem-
Der, and after the people have had
e chance to express themselves at
the polls.

The following story is told as il
Illustrative of one phase of the char
acter of the Russian peasant in a re-
cent magazine: During the last
Russo Turkish war a Russian regi-
ment marching from Philippopolis
to Adrianople overlook the Turkish
refugees, whereupon the terrified
Turkish women threw down their
infants in their fight. The Russian
soldiers, while pressing on as rapidly
as possible, stopped, and picked up
the babies, until nearly every man
in the regiment was carrying child,
and the general was absolutely
obliged to stop the march and find
carts and men to transfer the chill
dren to a place of safety.

In this country the Italian is thu
typical "dago" because he is the
only familiar representative of the
dark skinned nations of Latin Eu-
rope. 1t is the Spaniard, however,
whose language furnished this slang
name for the men of the Mediter-
ranean countries who come to the
United States.
One of the most familiar names
borne by Spaniards is Diego" 1t
serves nearly as well as John in this
country as typical name for boy
or man. English sailors long ago
came to know spaniards as "dagoes"
because "dago" was about as near
as they could handily come to

Transplanting eyelashes and eyebrows Is
the latest thing in the way Of personal
adornment Only the brave and rich can

besides being painful and costly, 1t takes

THINGS THEATRICAL.

With THE Hawaiian Islands" for his
topic, Burton Holmes spoke before very
fair-sized audience last night at the Column
bia Theatre. The subject is especially in
teresting at this time and Mr.. Holmes
handled il most interestingly, interpolat
ing bright anecdotes and humorous char
acterizations of people he had met while
in Honolulu with the data and descriptions
that went TO make up the lecture. Those
present appeared most appreciative and
the applause given was hearty. The talk
was illustrated with lantern slides colored
by Katerine Gorden Breed. Mr.. Holmes
will be heard this evening on 'FeZ, the
Metropolis of the Moors."
This is the day of long casts and of big
companies. but few travelling theatrical Or
ganizations which have come to Washing

Daniel Frawley brought over from New

twenty-five professional players. not
counting Scenic Artist Frederick Schafer
and Business Manager Frank Murray.
Some of these have been engaged especial
ly for the production of 'Trilby," while
others will be held in reserve for subse-
quent bills, since Manager Frawley be-
lieves in fitting actors to the parts rather
than in forcing the same people to appear
in all sorts of roles. whether suited to
them or not. He also believes in secur-
ing thespians who have made regulations

and for this reason has engaged Nine
Cottrelly, Burr Mcintosh, and Alfred Hick-
man to assume the parts which they Gre
ated with the original New York produc-

er, who was the Zou-Zou with Mr. Fraw-
ley in San Francisco, and the actor man
ager himself will also be in the cast,
which also includes Geoffrey Stein, Miron
Calico. Harry Gwynette, Mrs. F. NJ. Bates,
Georgia Welles, Daisy Hammack, Corinne
Parker, and Adora Andrews, while the title
role will be entrusted to Mary Van Buren,
a beautiful woman who, Mr.. Frawley be-
lieves, will create a sensation here. The
roster further bears the names of Harry
Corson Clarke, Western comedian; Sc
lene johnson, an accomplished leading la
dy. and Frank Matthew, who could not
find suitable opportunities in the first
