RELIGION IN NEW ENGLAND.

We do not doubt" says The Watch
man tBaptD of Boston, that there is
a great deal of truth in what Governor
Rollins of New Hampshire says about
the decline of religion in his state
and what he says about New Hamp-
shire might be extended to embrace
the entire country But. while such
statements are measurably true, it is
also right to say that probably there
never was time in the history of the
| country when infidelity was so small
a factor in the life of the people as it
| is today. 1t is rather difficult to find
| an out-and-Out unbeliever in Chris
| tlanlty among the descendants of the
American stock, which still form the
backbone of the population of such
States as New Hampshire. Our people
| generally believe in God, in the re-
| wards of righteousness and the penal
| ties of sin, in the divinity if not the
| deity of Christ, and in the outstanding
| features of the Christian revelation
There is a vast number of those who
/
| ards--and are not connected with the
form their lives to the Christian stand
| ards-and are not CONNECTED with the
Christian churches. Indeed, many of
them are only occasional attendants
Various influences have contributed to
bring about this state of things The
churches themselves have not always
| been true to the highest ethical stand
ards. Sometimes in prescribing doc
trinal tests they have been so narrow
and intolerant as to travesty the
breadth and freedom of the New Tes-
lament. Ministers too often have been
out of sympathy with the life and
needs of the time
The Waterman is one of the leading
religious papers in New England, and
1T takes conservative views on all re-
ligiOus questions. When it declares
that there never was a time in the
history of the country when infidelity
was SO small a factor in the life of
the people as it is today" it declares
that infidelity is no longer social of
Tense. Not thirty years ago, the repu-
tation of being an ''infideI' excluded a
man from the best social life, and
made him an object of contempt. The
change of attitude toward infidels is
not due to any decline in religion, but
rather to a wiser and more critical
view of mans divine relations. Thirty
years ago he who refused to believe in
eternal punishment was branded as
an ''infidel.' Today few of the ortho-
doX believe in it.
There is more faith in honest
doubts, believe me, than in half the
creeds." 1t is infidelity in the dead
letter of religion over which the theo-
logians have been bordering for centu-
ries that now breeds a want of faith. |
AS that dead letter drops away into |
the dust, 1.-The living spirit of religion,
freed from it's charnel house, arises, |
new born of heaven. and with new
healing under it's Wings
Governor Rollins stated only a half |
truth when he pointed to the granite |
hills of New Hampshire and said that
religion was declining in that State |
Granite soil is for oaks and not for |
weeds. He saw only the dying weeds. |

THE QUEENS ANNIVERSARY.

They are not Kings who sit on
govern.
For this reason the world calls Vic
toria Queen because she learned how
to govern a democracy by making ii
self governing. For the crown she
wears is the crown kept on her brow
by the strong hand of democracy,
which knows no written constitution
or superior power, makes and unmakes
Cabinets, dictates policies, wars and
peace. The perfect accord of the En-
press and Queen with this idea of pO-
litical rule, the absence from the be-
ginning of her reign of any attempt to
assume power, and the unusual exhibit
ton of the simple virtues in the most
conspicuous places upon the earth, Gre
ates the loyalty to her, which, today,
follows the sun around the world in a
shout of respect and appreciation.
Even Brother Jonathan, not always
given to polite ways, because of his
rough pioneer life, for the first time in
the history of the race, cordially takes
off his hat and says: Your Majesty
/ do sincerely congratulate you upon
the splendor of your reign and the gift
of moderation, wisdom and virtue you
have made to a great nation
Twenty years ago the American poll
tician who dared to praise in public
the British Queen or approve of Brit
iSh ways was hOwled at and called
flunl4ey by the press. The Irishmen of
America marked for political death the
statesmen who saw and dared to speak
a civil word about the British Queen.
The school children were taught history
that was false, and the teachers nursed
inherited hatreds. And the Briton be-
ieved that the American put his heels
on the mantel piece and spit on the
floor.
Travel is the real eye opener. The
Atlantic liners are the international
schOOlhOuses. The American woman
is the apostle of social freedom and
equality to the English. And above
all, the language is hook of steel
which holds the two branches of the
race to each other. This common Ian
gua3e has been very bad language at
times, and its reservoirs of profanity
have been well drawn more than once
by both parties. But the language
which is common and never irritates is |
that which expresses the personal lib |
erty of the Anglo-Saxon race, and the |
right of every man to push the doc |
trine of his own self-expansion with |
out let or hindrance.
So today Hawaii, the one legitimate |
tropical baby in Uncle Sans family, |
not yet christened or registered, |
up it's little fat hands and lisps |
also, God bless the Queen!''

Together in October

Together in October.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-A member
of the Cabinet said today that Presf-
dent Mckinley would convene IN cy-
ira session of Congress on October
goth. He said further that it was the
desire of the President 10 have the pol
icy of the country with respect 10 the
Philippines and other newly acquired
territory defined and the financial
problem disposed of before the mex,
national election, and that he thought
it best to give Congress ample time.
1t was also stated that members of
the Cabinet were practically unani-
nous in favor of the calling OF an
extraordinary session of Congress and
fully supported the President. There
was, it is further announced, certain
opposition to the project on the part of
prominent Republicans in Congress,
but many others were favorable to the
idea
Another reason for the early session
is the necessity for choosing a Speaker,
which might consume much valuable
time during regular session.

CHIEF 7. M. BURLINGTON.
A Sketch of the New Cher
Okee Executive.

Thos. NJ. Burlington, principal
chief elect of the Cherokee nation,
is A years old, and was born at
the old Burlington homestead
about a mile from the present
town of Westville, on the Pitts
burg & Gull road in Goingsnake
district. His father was Ezekiel
Burlington, of one of the oldest
Cherokee families in the nation,
and his mother was a white
woman, daughter of Judge New
man, of " ashington county, Ark
ansas. The judge spent his boy
hood on the farm near the old
Baptist mission where he attended
the national schools, one of his
teachers being Miss Carrie Bushy-
head, now Mrs. VIM. Quarles.
Some twenty years ago he set
tied in Delaware district on the
farm he now owns, about 10 miles
southeast of this city. In 1899 he
was elected judge of Delaware dis
trict and served two years, and it
is said no more impartial judge
ever sat upon the bench of the
district. Two years later he was
elected to represent the district in
the Cherokee senate, and was
elected president of that body
upon its organization. Soon after
ward Chief Joel Mayes died, and
also Assistant Chief Henry Cham
bers, and Judge Burlington, by
virtue of his office as president of
the senate, succeeded to the office
of principal chief, and held the
place eleven days, until the ma
tional council then in session cleo
ted c. J. Harris chief. Judge !
Burlington was elected delegate
to Washington City by the coun-
Gil in 1892. In 1895 he was elected |
circuit judge of the northern dis
trict by the largest majority ever
given in the Cherokee nation to a |
candidate for a similar office. |
Judge Burlington has served two
terms as mayor of Ninita, being |
elected by large majorilies each |
time, and was never beaten in his
life for any office for which he ran.
For good many years he has re-
sided in Vinita, and will, it is said,
continue to reside here, as the
office to which he has Just been
elected will not require his remov-
al to Tahlequah.

Nearly every progressive citizen

early treaty with the Dawes COM
mission, and everything possible
will be done to expedite the busi-
ness of settlement of tribal affairs.
The Downings are pledged to allot-
ment and individual title to land,
and the gradual extinguishment of
tribal relations. There is little
doubt but what yesterdays election
is the last chiefs election that will
ever be held, and that before the
four years term expires the office
of Chief of the Cherokee nation
will be practically at an end.

LITTLE CONSOLATION.
Secretary States Whites to Be In
truderS.

The secretary OF the interior, in
letter on the subject of laying
out towns, says: 1.-The laying out
of townsites in the territory is one
of the most difficult problems with
which the commission has to 6sal,
and is causing them the most
worry. There are a great many
whites in the territory who have
made improvements, and who Ia
Dor under the delusion that they
have vested rights which cannot
be disturbed or infringed upon in
the laying out of townsites. As
matter OF fact these people have
no vested rights; they are iatru-
ders, and, while it is not intended
that the commission shall deal
with them harshly, it is the inten-
ton to give little heed to their
private interests where these in
terests are directly inimical to he
public welfare. Otherwise the
laying out of townsites would be
an impossible task"

hot game of ball, absolute impair
tiality and fairness will be shown

utmost consideration.

notorious game at Tulsa some
weeks since, that every baseball
enthusiast in the northern district
who could do so would be present.

Synopsis of Sunday Sermons

Text-Acts .. y Il: And they continued
steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and
fellowship. and in breaking OF bread. aud In
"Praising God. and having favor with all
the people, but the Lord added To the
church daily such as should be saved
In this scripture we have a brief
history of the primitive church.
They strictly observed the ordi-
nances of the church and wherever
the spirit of christianity exists
this feature is prominent. They
continued in the apostles doc
trine."
They had professed discipleship
by receiving baptism and attend
ing the preaching Of the word that
they might know the way of life.
They kept up the communion of
saints and mixed with the busy
world.
They met with one accord, not
for discord and strife but being
servants of the Lord spoke one to
another. They often joined in
celebrating the Lords supper,
neiterating their faith, and were
not ashamed in their allegiance.
They continued in prayer and the
Holy Ghost descended in pentecos-
tai power. Prayer is essential to
communion with God.
Genuine brotheTly love prevail
ed among them. They frequently
met for christian conference.
God is a God of order and auth
ority. There must be authority
in the family, in state and in the
church. They had common tables
and no selfshness and were care
tul to entertain strangers. They
devoted much to charity. "The
poor ye have always with you"
Many wonders and signs were
done by the disciples, and a pro-
found impression was made on the
public mind. There were added
daily to the church those who
were being saved. 1t could not
be otherwise as all conditions Of
success were being met.
THE MISSION AT ST. JOHNS CHURCH.
The opening service of the paro-
chial mission in St Johns Episci-
pal church was held last night.
Considering the great heat the con-
gregation was good and all scenes
deeply impressed with the novel
service. DR.. Lloyd fully explain
ed the object and purpose of the
mission, and then delivered a
most earnest address on sin aud
the Saviour. He dwelt at length
on the mission of sin, its effect
upon the soul and then upon the
pitying and forgiving love Of the
Saviour. The attention of the
congregation was most marked
and as the missioner shook hands
with each one as he departed and
many were the warm and appre-
ciatory words spoken to him. DR..

OKLAHOMA UNIVERSITY.
Pupils From the Indian
Territory Invited.

The offer of Oklahoma to admit
to its university at Norman pupils
from the Indian Territory, is now
interpreted by the authorities oI
the institution to embrace all bona
fide residents OF this territory
Under the terms of the resolution,
"bona fide citizens ofthe Cherokee,
Choctaw, Chickasaw, Greek and
Seminole nations" being the words
used, it is clearly Indian citizens
who are embraced, but if the
Oklahoma officials determine
otherwise we should be content.
While there is a "will you walk
into my parlor" sort of an aspect
to the offer, it should not be
ignored by those seeking an educa-
ton, Tor that reason alone. The
institution has a faculty OF eight
able men, has been very generously
treated by the territorial legisla-
ture, the president receiving $500,
and it has a splendid chemical
laboratory. Heretofore the tuition
charged pupils from the Indian
Territory and elsewhere has been
something like $50 a year and to
this extent is the present offer
gratuity. Pupils are subject to a
rigid examination but when thor
oughly organized, graduates from
our city schools should be able to
pass it, without question. The
resolution providing for admis-
sion is as follows:
Whereas, The capacity and facll-
ilies now supplied for education at
the university Of Oklahoma are
such that a much larger number OF
pupils can be cared for than the
present enrolment without addi-
tional expense to the territory;
therefore
Resolved, That the president of
the university be and he is hereby
authorized and directed to admit
to the rights and privileges Of the
university all applicants for such
admission made by or ia behalf of
bona fde citizens Of the Cherokee,
Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and
Seminole nations upon the same
terms and conditions as prescribed
for residents Of Oklahoma territory
and the people Of the Indian Terri
tory are hereby invited to avail
themselves of this splendid oppol-
lunity to give 10 their youth the
benefits and advantages of a first
class university education.

STOLEN CATTLE EVIDENTLY.
Two Hundred Head Thus Far I'm
identified.

f. I. Cochran, deputy United
States marshal at Bristow. has
notified Marshal Benefits Office
that he is holding about POO head
of cattle that were a few days ago
abandoned on the Deep Fork by a
couple of white men and negro,
and which there i abundant reas-
on to believe were stolen from
some ranch near by. The cattle
are Arkansawyers and natives,
horned and dehorned, and about
thirty head, picked up by Marshal
Cochran along the trial, are bran
ded B Q, CT, and bar c.
The men driving the cattle kept
in the timber as much as possible
and travelled mainly at night. They
were headed toward Red Fork
and the supposition is they be-
came alarmed when near BristOw
and abandoned the ch.-Mus-
kogee Times.

TWAS TOO EXCITING.
Dynamite Was Most Too Long EN-
plOding.

\ good story is told of party
Of hunters who went out from this
city to Spavinaw 10 kill fish with
dynamite some time ago. The
party included a well known
deputy marshal or two, and while
the dynamite was being prepared
with cap and fuse, some of the
men whiled away the time by
throwing sticks and chunks into
the water and sending a smart dog
swimming into the water TO bring
them out. After a while the stick
of dynamite was ready and throSh
in. Before it could sink however
the dog swan in and seized it and
broughtlt to shore. Then began
a race for life as the dog tried to
bring his prize to the feet of his
master. After an unuSally long
time the cap exploded and a whole
was blown in the earth large
enough to bury an elephant, and
the dog has not come home yet.

KILLED AT THE ELECTION.
A RO!Iicking Time at fiickS' lille
Precinct.

There was very little interest
taken in the Cherokee election
during the campaign, but
they certainly had hot time vot-
ing at the Hicksville precinct, in
Tahlequah district yesterday.
Disorder and drunkenness prevailed
Notwithstanding it is said there
were two or three deputy marshals
on the ground, among whom was
Jim Cook, besides the guards, who
had been appointed to assist in
keeping the peace. They took
very little interest in trying to
corral the drunken Indians and
when Ben Ketcher was shot down
and killed, by jack Wofford, it is
said that there was not even an
attempt made to arrest him. Ketch-
er is reported to have been drunk
and quarrelsome all through the
day and Wohord, his slayer, was
one of the guards. We have also
understood that Ketcher and a
brother Of Jack Wofford was in a
fight at the time the latter stepped
up and shot him. Both of the
parties to the sad occurrence have
friends and are IN fairly good
standing with the people who
knew them Wagner Sayings.
Cofleyville is going to have a
fair this fall, and has most every
thing in sight except an exhibition
of mule footed hogs" The
management, however, is now out
