The difference of opinion between the
car and the holy synod in regard to
summoning Count Leo Tolstoi before
that body threatens to grow into an
open rupture. A trial before that body
would deprive Tolstoi Of his civil rights,
as the synod is very much enraged over
his support OF doukobors, whose religi.
Gus tendencies it lie claimed, will under.
mine the very foundations OF the Greek
church. The czar, who is a great ad-
.nirel Of Tolstoi. fears the power of the
synod and is standing between his friend
and that remorseless body. Intimate
friends assert that the peace loving
philosopher will leave Russia Of his own
accord and that the sending Of his own
son to America in charge OF the fret
deportation Of doukobors is but paving
the way for his own emigration to the
United States. Count Tolstoi loves the
Americans and he believes that in Amer.
lea he will be allowed to practice bis
faith unhindered.

general in society to arouse more than a
shrewd interest in the bargains dis.

augurated by Mrs. Marshall o. Roberts.

robe at an outlay Of nearly $4,000. She
could see no reason why her mourning
should represent SO heavy loss, so be-
ing a natural business woman, She
hired two rooms at one OF the most
fashionable hotels and sent there every
cololed garment in her possession. A
capable saleswoman and assistant were
put in charge. Cards were sent to all OF
Mrs. Roberts friends announcing the
sale. Society soon rallied from it's fret
surprise and rushing business was
done in these hotel rooms. 1t is said
that Mre. Roberts, instead OF losing on
her original investment. made q Iice
profit. The assistant showed off the
gowns and hats on her own person and
the most conservative social element
took to the idea so kindly as to popular
ize this practical and business like way
OF disposing Of wardrobe otherwise
rendered useless. The Brice sale was
given in the drawing. room and library
OF the Brice homestead and was more
private. The wardrobes displayed we're

to bicycle and bathing suits. Fans,
handkerchlefs, gloves, stockings, shoes,
feather boas, ribbons, plumes, artificial
flowers, mock and real Jewels, tinted
note paper. underwear trimmed with
colored ribbons, all were heaped about
the rooms. which were in charge Of
trained saleswoman who makes her liv.
ing by conducting these functions.
These sales are strictly cash and tho
woman who loves to beat down prices is
permitted full sway in INDUCING in this
passion. 1t is said that at these sales
everything invariably is cold and that
the most aristocratic dame does not feel
her dignity lowered by thus buying and
wearing the old clothes OF another.
Some buy an old Paris gown as model
for her d.essmaker. many go from curl
osity, many for amusement, but the in
eyitable result is q purchase.

LEGISLATION against trusts
should be general, and grows dan
gerous as soon as it becomes spe-
cial, The best of all legislation on
this line will be found in the end
in acts repeating laws now in ex-
istance out of which trusts have
grown and without which they can
not thrive or live. To cure the
trust, remove the cause. 1t is more
freedom and not more restraint
which the people need in order to

SAYS IT'S FALSE.

The town boomers OF the Indian
Territory persists in representing
to the people of the Indian Terri
tory that Oklahoma is loaded down
with debts. The statement is false.
The federal law does not permit a
large accumulation of debts either
upon the territory or any of its
subdivisions. 1t is true that coun-
ties and cities were poorly managed
during the first few years of their
existence, and debts were contract
ed that should not have been. The
current expenses were heavier than
they should have been. but the ac-
cumulated debt is bv no means
confiscating one. There has been
no increase in the debts of the ter
ritOry during the past five years,
although the wealth of the terri
tory has more than doubled. Twen-
ty-fve cents on the 81 900 of tax
able property will pay the interest
on the territorial debt. One dol
lar and thirty cents on 81 900 will
pay the interest on Oklahoma coun-
tvs Indebtedness. Two dollars
and twenty-f five cents on the ST 900
will pay the interest on the city S
debt. Thus the people of Okla
homa City pay at present in all
So 80 on the 81 900 as interest on
all Indebtedness. The rate is con-
stantly decreasing as the taxable
wealth increases. Property is as
sessed at about forty per cent of
its actual worth. Therefore, the
owner of s., 900 farm in Okla
homa county outside of Oklahoma
CITY, would pay just $500 per
anum as interest on all indebted
ness. .-Times-JOurnal.

The fire insurance companies
claim that the aggregate exper-
ience of all the companies doing
business in the Indian Territory
for the last Is years, demonstrates
the fact that the insurance busi-
ness in the Indian Territory has
been done with an actual loss to
the companies.
The usual losses thus far for
1899 has caused the companies to
advance rates on certain classes of
risks that appear to be the least
profitable.
On and after May 18th. there
will be collected % per cent in
crease on all mercantile risks of
whatever class-hotels, livery.
feed, sale, bus or breeding barns,
and hay barns, buildings and con-
tents.
This advance in rate is not to
apply to dwellings, sch ools +,
churches, public buildings, cotton,
cotton congresses or yards, cotton
seed oil mills, lumber yards, flour
mills and all other manufacturing
risks except that when any of the
above excepted risks are located in
frame ranges or business blocks,
and are rated as high or higher
than the range or blocks in which
they are located, then they shall be
subject to the advance in rate same
as the building or stocks Of the
range or block in which they are
located.
The % per cent advance shall
apply to all towns. villages or
country stores in Indian Territory
except the towns of Ardmore and
Checotah.
The towns of Ardmore and
Checotah are the only towns in the
Indian Territory that have water
supply and fire departments, and
in consideration of that fact, the
increase in premiums on the class
of risks described above will be
only - per cent on the present
printed rates or on risks written IN
harmony with the Minimum Tariff
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory
The additional premium above
named will be collected by all
agents writing risks in Indian
Territory, whether the agents live
in Indian Territory, OF some other
State or Territory.
\ new minimum tariff for the
Indian Territory is in preparation,
in which the rates will be advanced
on all classes of risks that in the
experience of the companies have
proved to be Improbable business
