A CHICKASAW'S WOOING.
Was a Rough Rider, and to Get His
Wife He Killed Her
Father.

Pet Wolf is the name of a Chickasaw
Indian who served as second lieutenant
in Roosevelts rough riders. At San
tiago he was wounded several times,
but not so seriously as to prevent him
from being with his troop on the day
of the surrender. Within the city Wolf
met Spanish girl named Aneta Cal
LEILA, whose father had been one of the
richest planters in the neighborhocd.
The Indian and the girl fell in love,
and the rest of the story is thus related
by the Coffeyville Journal: "The
father was proud and stormed when
his daughter was seen talking with the
rough rider.
'The Indian meant business and the
girl loved him with all the fervor of
her nature. When he had to leave with
the army he told her that he would re-
turn in short time and take her with
him to the United States. When the
soldiers were mustered out he FASTENED
back to Cuba and took the girl. The
father objected, and he was promptly
killed TO Wolf this was nothing. He
has killed many Indians and several
white men. and has also served term
or two in the penitentiary for various
crimes.
"The newspapers were full Of details
of the crime at the time. No one knew
who murdered the old man, but they
suspected his daughter. In the mean
time the Indian and his bride fastened
to America under different names and
were married in New York. They then
went out west and have been living
quietly on a ranch in the Chickasaw
nation" City Journal.

THE GOSPEL OF LOVE
Tie East Full of Fakirs Who Trav-
ell in Its Holy Name.
They Reflect Discrcdit Upon the No
bile Men and Women Who De-
vote Their Lives to the Work
of Salvation.
[Speci.a Washington Letter. ]

A new industry has sprung up in the
cities along the Atlantic coast; and
few of the money-makers have come to
Washington recently and set up their
business.
Last December there came to this
city a man, with his wife and two sons,
in dilapidated wagon, drawn by a
bony and sorry-looking white horse.
On the side of the wagon appeared the
sign: Hutchinson-Morgan Family of
Singers"
This strengthening outfit anchored
near Pennsylvania avenue, opposite the
center market, in very busy part of
the city, where the throngs at night
are thickest; and there folded organ
was brought forth from under a seat,
was set up on platform at the rear OF
the wagon, the woman began to play,
and boy about IS years of age began
to sing.
Nature has gifted him with strong
contralto voice, and his method indi-
Gates a bit of culture. Within ten min
utes the wagon was surrounded by up
wards of hundred people. The woman
and her boy sang revival songs; and &C.
casionally the younger lad, about IL
years of age, sang solo.
Night after night during the entire
winter, excepting only the week of the
blizzard, the alleged gospel chariot
went to that spot, and gave it's per-
formances without paying license or
tax for the privilege. Collections were
taken several times each evening; and
it was made manifest to close observ-
ers that this professional gospel bust
ness was paying well.
The head of the. family is little bit
of man, with eyes which do not look
fairly at the audience, and which are
downcast when engaged in private,con-
versation. Between songs he occasion
ally appears on the platform, with a
Bible in his hand, and makes pretense
of preaching. He doesn't know enough
about the Bible or about systematic
theology to enable him to instruct a
| crowd of infant-ciass children, but he
makes rambling sort of talk which
stands for sermon. This disagreeable
part of the performance is nightly en-
dured by the gathered crowd, who de-
sire to hear the singing. The alleged
preaching is necessary in order that
the deceit may be complete and the law
respected.
Because of the pretense that this is a
religious effort, sincere soul-saving
performance, the police department OF
the national capital permitted that man
and woman to keep those little boys
out until almost midnight night after
night during the cold winter. They were

and an organ in it. But he mad no wife,
no children and no assistants. lie wes
the whole show, the real thing, himself.
He never knew how to sing, and yet he
lifts up voice which would make
mule enyious, and chants semblances
of Gospel tunes. He gathers crowds,
and then breaches to them. He is il
literate, but knows great deal about
the Bible. OF course his information is
superficial, but he has read the Bible
or had it read to him, so that he can
make apt quotations. His uncultured
voice is strong and rasping. 1t roars
and reverberates down the street. He
talks earnestly, like sincere Salvation
Army workers talk. But in due course
of time he takes up his hat, announces
that a collection is to be taken for the
benefit of the cause of religion, and
then passes his own hat about the
crowd. He gathers in a goodly number
of small coins at each performance.
There is no law to cover offenses Of
this character. No state has enacted
legislation on the subject; and con-
gress has never taken up the matter.
But these catch-penny performances

THE GOSPEL FAKIR.

kept there singing in order to gather
crowds from whom collections might
be taken. 1t is contemplate business
and exceedingly reprehensible, because
it is conducted in the name of the Cos
pei of love.
Two weeks ago there came to town
one Sunday night another gospel
chariot. 1t bore the name of a preach
err and his wife, and ostensibly hailed
from Buffalo, N. Y. The preacher was
a coal black negro. He is brighter and
smarter and more entertaining than
the white man who has kept his chill
dren out all winter. He had platform
also in the rear of his wagon; and dur
ing the evening performances his wife
played an organ and sang Gospel
HYMNS. The color of her skin shows
her mixed birth.
But that makes no difference. How
ever it may be elsewhere the writer
knows MOI, but here in the national cap
ital the negroes who have white blood
in their veins are proud of their mani
fest bar sinister. The colored girls
with light compilations have black men
for beaus, and take black men for hus-
bands. One of them explained this to
the writer. saying: "Black men bow
low to the white blood in my veins
The young men who are as white as i
am believe they are as good as / am
But the black fellows worship me for
my white blood, and hence l prefer
them. 1t is the same with all mulatto
girls. We are like white women, we
like to have admiration, even if it does
come from black men,"
The black preacher and his mulatto
wife stayed here four days and gath
cred many hundreds of pennies and
nickels from the colored population
Then they drove over the aquoduct
bridge, and went into Virginia. Where
they go next can be conjectured. The
peripatetic gospel chariot is the pre-
cursor of new style of gypsy for this
country.
After the departure Of that chariot
there came into the streets of George
town, which is now part CO this cap
ital, big brawny blacksmith-lookins
fellow. He had sc=ss--.==s wagon
