To Take Indians to Mexico.

2.-Elmer F. Todd, representing
large number of the Cherokee
and Delaware Indians, was at the
Interior Department recently to
make certain inquiries in con-
nection with a project which he
has for the removal of some OF
these Indians from the Indian
Territory to Old Mexico. He
wanted to know whether the
interior department would oppose
proposition to pay all the In
dians desiring to leave the terri
tory their pro rata of the funds OF
the tribe. Acting Secretary Ryan,
with whom he talked, would not
commit himself. Mr.. Todd and
those who are interested with him
in the scheme for the removal OF
the Indians have secured conces-
sions from the Mexican govern
ment for large area of land, to be
used as a reservation for the In
dians. They are to be allowed to
have tribal government. Some
time ago delegation OF the chief
men of the fullbloods among the
Delawares and the Cherokees
went to Old Mexico, and were, it
is said, much impressed with the
desirability of locating there under
the conditions which were offered
to them. Mr.. Todd, in speaking
to the interior department officials
of his plan, said the removal of
the Indians TO Mexico would
rid them of the competition of the
white man in the Indian Territory,
which they are incapable of meet
ing. He will endeavor to have
bills introduced in the house and
senate giving all Indians who de-
sire to go into the colonization
scheme which he is fostering a
right to withdraw their pro rata
share Of the tribal funds.
Allowing for the natural exuber-
ance of the Cherokees over the
ratification of the treaty, it is sim
cerely hoped they will not lose
sight of the statehood and school
clauses. All that they ask for
should be given the Cherokees
and the outside papers that have
been criticising the treaty because
it asks for too much could be en-.
gagged in better business than de.

ties. The Cherokee nation, and
especially Tahlequah, has been

Of Mohammedans Has Set In from the
 Island of Crete.
 A regular exodus of Mohammedans from Crete has set in. and. as there seems to be no way of stopping 1t, 1t is believed that the Porte will soon make virtue of necessity and pass the word for all true Mussulmans to quit the island Although large sums of money have been distributed at Can dia among those willing to stay, be- sides free gifts of timber for the re- construction of their houses, boats con- tinue to leave crowded with emigrants The news of Prince Georges visit to Candid only gave fresh stimulus to the exodus, and, at latest accounts, the prospect was that the whole Mussul- man population would soon be gone The Turks are much distressed at this state of affairs, and accuse England of being principally to blame, since she, of the four powers, has nearly always been foremost in assuring Turkey that her rights would be safeguarded. It is not denied that England has endeav- ored, in 6 certain measure, to fulfill her promises, but, as the Christian Gre tans seem to have deliberately adopted the policy of making the island unin- habitable for Moslems, it is practical Iy impossible for any outside influence to induce them to remain. It is gen erally admitted that each family is worth a considerable sum per annum to the island in taxes and industry but the Christians, having obtained the upper hand, are resolved to pursue their advantage to the uttermost, and to drive all Moslems out of the coun- try, so far as it lies within their power to do so. This is, at all events, an ef- fective way of putting an end to relig- jeus differences

 We have received a little pamphlet which we hope has been distributed widely among. our readers. The care full study of it may put an end to doubts that have embittered house. holds and poisoned the wells of domes- tic happiness. This little boOk-We dislike the term "booklet"-tells in simple language how to dress your coachman, groom, butler, doorman and page. Thus, for instance, the coach man should wear six buttons on his coat-two in the back at waist and two at the bottom of skirt. He shold also have flats on his pockets. Otherwise he might be mistaken for the groom, Ywho has no flaps on his pockets, and has five buttons in front and six be- hind. These buttons should always match the metal trimmings on the har~ ness. Ardent Bryanites will, of course, use silver. The hat must be silk, There is no alternative. Slouch hats are no longer worn by the coachmen of our more exclusive citizens, and the more fastidous insist that the hat should be new one, not east-off dicer of the muster. The coachman, when on du- ty, should smoke only cigars. They should cost at least at the rate of three for a quarter Green baize cloth aprons should match your billiard ta- ble. Crest buttons, worn by your ser wants, should be ducal. There are several dukes in England, so there may be 8 variety in the device. By paying attention to these details and the ad- vice as to other matters given by this pamphlet, you will be obliged to De more scrupulous as to your own dress for it is sad sight when the groom IS mistaken for the master.-Boston Jour- nal.

Mice That Manufacture Thread.

A Scottish artisan has conceived the ingenious and economic idea of em- ploying mice in the manufacture of thread. The small quadrupeds are made to turn a wheel with their feet, and in this manner, and by means of 8 simple mechanical eontriyance, they are able to make about 2,8OO reels of 187 yards each daily. To produce this quantity it is estimated that they cover a course of 18,0o0 yards.

I was never mixed up with a snug gling transaction but once in my life" said a New Orleans business man. whose name may as well be left out, and my experience was so painful that swore off then and there. I had a deal in West Texas on hand at the time and had made a short trip over the Mexican frontier, during which I picked up a handful of very fine opals. A wicked friend showed me how easy it was to carry them over the line with out paying tribute to Uncle Sam, and ] was weak enough to yield to the temptation. When 1 got on the cars at El Paso, however, to come east to Dallas I was haunted by a guilty con science and had a horrible premonf- tion that some secret service officer gas on my track. Presently my at tention became attracted by man with black beard, who kept looking at me furtiyely from a seat across the way. l tried to persuade myself that 5t was all imagination, but number of things occurred during that ride that satisfied me I was really being watched. l went into the smoker. for instance, and before long caught glimpse of the black beared chap peer ing through the end of the window from the platform It was the same in the dining car, and, to make a long story short l reached Dallas thoroughly anstrung. That evening I began to think l had shaken the fellow off my track, when I happened to stroll out of the hotel, and there he was, stand ing behind pillar. Needless to say, | didn't sleep a wink, and when I Bumped into the sleuth next morning and saw that he had shaved off his beard l gave myself up for lost. How ever, that was the last of him, and for the balance of my stay I was un~ molested and gradually regained my equanimity. That the man had been shadowing me was undeniable, but what his purpose could have been and why he dropped the game so abrupt ly were mysteries which l was forced to leave unsolYed. It was two years before found out. Then I ran across the man one day by accident in a St. Louis restaurant. and he owned up. It seems that he had been a public of fcial in a small Texas town, and got mixed up in his accounts. He swore to me that it was only bad bookkeep- ing, but the grand jury indicted him for embezzlement, and he skipped un- ii things calmed down. I happened to coincide with a description he had of sa detective, and all his strange moves were actuated by exactly the same mo- tive that prompted me to run-name- 3y, to see whether he was DeIng watch ed.

 The cashier of a thriving bank in a big western town was doing the talk Ing.
 When I began my career in the banking business" !" he said. it was in an old established bank in an Ohio city to which my father had been elected president. We didn't live in the town until his election, and moved there when he took charge. After about six months experience I was made assistant receiving teller. and be- tween that and my youth, and the fact that my father was president, 1 guess was about four sizes too large for the earth. But got over it. and one day when there was lulI and the re- ceiYing teller had gone across the street to look after a check that he had taken I popped up to the window and took my first lesson. A rough looking old fellow came that I thought was farmer from HayvfIie. He came straight for me, and said he wanted to deposit some money. It wasn't my business to undertake a new customer, but l thought I knew it all, and began to talk to him He said that he wanted to deposit a cent that day, but had more. We'll, l gave him the ha ha then and there, and told him to run around to the Dime Savings bank and become a depositor on the installment plan. also said some more funny things, and after l had had all the fun there was, he said that while he wish ed to deposit only cent that day. he would put in two cents next day. and four next, and so on for four weeks. gave him the laugh again, and told him we really couldn't do a small busi- ness like that, and he must be a good boy and run along to the penny ante bank around the corner. Then he went away, and I was still laughing when the receiving teller came back.
 sI told him what was making me smile. and he looked at me kind of funny, l thought, and went to figuring on a sheet of paper without further comment. Presently he handed the paper over to me That old fellow he said, is a millionaire, whose busi- ness we have been after for q year. Those figures will show you that what you consider is a penny ante bank business would have amounted to something over $210, ,000 in the four weeks, or 24 banking days. during which he wished to deposit his money. He's a crank, but he's got the cash. all the same. and we want him. Just what effect your able funny business has had upon him I can't say but suppose you go and talk to your father about 1t, or do you want me to report it to the cashier and let him see the president?'
 "I had cold chills and collapse and q lot more things during the next five minutes, and then I mustered Up cour- age and went to my father with the story. He promptly reduced me to the ranks and cut my salary 10 per cent and I learned a whole lot in the next six months, by which time we had the old fellow all right, and I was made assistant again. but wasn't the same kind of one by good deal.2

CITY BOARD OF HEALTH.
GARBAGE DUMPS AND OTHER
MATTERS DISCUSSED.
Efforts Will be Made to Have the
Supervisors Aid in Re-
moving Them.

The City Board of Health held a
meeting last night, Drs. Ross, Hender-
son, Wizard, Fay and Parkinson being
present.
Reports were made by Secretary
Nichols, Plumbing Inspector Smith and
Sanitary Inspector Herr of work dcne
during the month. The latter showed
43 blocks of alleys cleaned and much
other sanitary work done. Plumbing
Inspector. Smiths report showed that
he also had been active during the
month and made a large number Of in
spections. The report of Milk. and
Market Inspector Mekowan showed l36
market inspections and 103 milk in
spections. Yolo County will soon in
augurate a system of milk inspection.
The Secretary reported that he had
reported to the Chief of Police the
Menke dairy, within the city limits, and
the Chief had expressed surprise, as
he said he had instructed some of his
officers to attend to it.
The matter of the resolution of the
board directing the Trustees to levy
$50, 600 for the construction of a ere
matory came up and DR.. Parkinson
said that no official notice of their
action had been sent to this board. One
of the Trustees had said he considered
it an insult to the board, but he failed
to see how, and certainly no insult was
intended. He recapitulated the history
of the dumps and spoke of the wave
of Indignation that swept over the city
last winter When the state or the
dumps north of the city was made pub
lie, and which forced their removal to
the present locality The ground
where the dumps are situated are
surely impregnated with disease germs
and houses built on the ground will be
unhealthy to the residents.
1t was the sentiment of the board
that action might be taken by the SUI
pervisors.
DR. Fay asked if the Board of Health
would have authority to order an in
spection of those working in the vari-
Gus laundries in the city to see if any
of them are afflicted with infectious
diseases. He knew of one man so en-
ployed, who had a scaly disease on his
arms and legs. who said they had been
in that condition for twenty years.
Several of the members had some
doubts as to the authority of the board
In the matter.
Dr. Fay called attention to the filthy
accumulations in the cutters OF the
main streets. He thought that it would
be we'll to wash the streets.
Secretary Nichols said the Superin-
tendent of Streets had several times
washed the paved streets, at his re-
quest.
The Secretary was instructed to pro-
cure the washing of the streets in such
cases as he deemed it necessary.
On motion of DR.. Fay, in considera-
ton of the many complaints made by
citizens as to the odors arising from
the present garbage dumps, the Secre-
tary was instructed to confer with the
County Health officer with view to
removing them.
The board then went into executive
session.

General Sickles of New York was
next introduced, and made a brief ad-
dress, expressing his admiration for
the nations Chief Executive.
A few minutes later the Presidents s
party, with Admiral Sampson and his
staff, left the Academy and proceeded
to Odd Fellows Hall, where President
Mckinley was the guest of honor at a
banquet rendered by George G.. Meade
Post, the Lafayette Post of New York
and the Kingsley Post of Boston. The
distinguished visitors were driven
through the avenue of Fame" which
for the first time they saw Illuminated.
Immense throngs surged through the
avenue, and the cheering was deafen-
ing. When the Chief Executive en-
tered the banqueting hall, all present
arose and cheered their distinguished
comrade. The President was introduce
ed by the POSTMASTER, and spoke
briefly, referring to the heroic deeds of
the Grand Army veterans, closing as
follows:
Il have about me the army and
navy, which l command (applause),
and everyone who wants to speak to
you tonight shall speak. daughter

is here, the Secretary of Agriculture
and the President of Cornell University,
who was President of the Philippine
Commission, recently back from Ma
Mia, is here. And Admiral Sampson is
here, and now, gentlemen of the three
great posts, you have your choice"
The POSTMASTER took the President S
cue and called on the gentlemen named
by him. Secretary Root and Professor
Schurman made brief addresses, in
which they referred to the war in the
Philippines. Both Of them took the
stand that the war should be carried
out vigorously until peace all over the
island is had.
The Presidential party retired from
the hall and drove directly to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Station, where
the party boarded a special train and
left for Washington.
