THE vINITA PARK CASE.
Decision of the Circuit Court
Of Appeals,

Sanhorn, circuit judge, delivered
the opinion of the court.
When this suit was commenced
the tribal courts OF the Cherokee
nation had exclusive jurisdiction
of all cases arising in the Cherokee
country in which members OF that
tribe by nativity or adoption we're
the only parties, while the United
States court in the Indian Terri.
tory had jurisdiction Of every civil
case arising between q citizen of
the United States and any citizen
or person residing in the Indian
Territory. 25 Stat. Ch. 1888, sec.

the parties to this suit except Tar

kee nation. If Tsrrant had no
cause OF action against the appel
liant, then he was not a proper
party to this suit and the United
States court was without jurisdic-
tion of it. The defect of parties
plaintiff which the appellant urges
upon our consideration is, that
Tarrant was mere general tax
payer and resident Of Downing
vile, that be had no interest in
the preservation Of its parks diff
ferent from or other than that pos
sessed by every other resident
taxpayer, and that this was in
sufficient TO enable him to main
lain suit for this injunction. If,
however, these parks were ded-
icated to the public by the Chero-
kee nation, as this taxpayer
claims, that dedication was made
more than twenty. FIVE years ago,
and the town Of Downingville has
been settled, the lots in it have
been sold, and its inhabitants have
established their homes there and |
have become the tax payers of the
town in reliance upon that ded-
ication. After all this has been
done, the nation sells the parks,

cient interest 10 enable him TO
maintain an injunction to prevent t
the use of the school house for re-
ligious services. The court very
pertinently said, that the value of
the right OF the district and its in
habilants to the exclusive use of
the school houses for school pur-
poses was not to be measured by
the mere pecuniary injury result
ing from an infringement of the
right. To the same effect is the
decision Of the supreme court Of
Kansas in Spencer VS.. school dis
trict No. 6, Is Kansas 269, in which
the opinion was delivered by Judge
Brewer. Indeed, under the mo-
dern decisione, the general rule is
that resident tax payer of any
municipality has sufficient inter-
est and has right to maintain a
bill to prevent the unlawful dispo-
sition OF the money or property of
his town or city, to forbid the IL
legal creation Of a debt or liability
of his municipality, and to restrain
the diversion of money or property
in his town or city from any public
use, in which he shares, to which
it has been dedicated. Compton

appropriate it to his private use
and to make it the site of his res
idence. Has a resident and tax
payer OF the municipality no rem
edy for such a wrong? May the
parks which he and his fellow cit
izens have paid to improve be sold
and appropriated to the use of the
nation or of strangers while he
stands by remidiless? Has he no
interest in the right Of the public
to the free use of the commons suf-
ficient to enable him to maintain
a suit in equity to prevent the de-
struction Of his right to use them,
the spoliation OF the parks and
their appropriation to public use?
Let us see. The title to the land
in these parks subject to the right
Of the inhabitants and taxpayers
OF the town TO use it forever for
park purposes is without value.
1t is nothing but a naked legal
title held in trust for the people
who use, or have the right to use
the parks. The real value of the
land in the parks is the value of |
the right to use it, and when the |
nation sells the park, it derives its
purchase price in fact, not from
the sale of the title to the land,
but from the sale or the destruc-
tion OF the right OF the people to
use that land for park purposes.
Thus, by the aale Of the parks the
resident taxpayer Tarrant is de-
prived of his share in the valuable
right to use them. This is not the
only injury entailed upon him by
this sale. Parks are, il not nee
essary, at least customary posses
sions OF towns and cities, and if
the parks of Downlngville are sold
and appropriated to private use
the strong probability is, that the
town will purchase more land, es-
tablish other parks upon it in lieu
of those destroyed, and thus in
crease the burden of the appellee's
taxation. Again, Tarrant alleges
that he has a wife and four chill
dren and that he expects to make
Downingville his home and to
raise and educate his children
there. Ii these parks are appro-
priated to private use, he and his
family will be deprived of their
use to promote their health, recre-
alton and amusement. In short,
the sale of the parks and their use
by the vendees for their private
will deprive the appelle,
Tarrant, of his share in the val
liable right Of the people to use
them for park purposes, will de-
prive him and his family of a
source of health, recreation and
amusement, and will be very like
ly to increase the burden Of his
taxation by compelling him to pay
a part of the purchase prics of
other parks bought to replace
those destroyed. Now the en-
forcemeDt Of trusts is one of the
great heads OF equity jurisdiction.
The land in these parks, If it was :
really dedicated to the use of the
public for park purposes, is held
n trust for that use, and courts of
equity always interfere at the suit :

ON BUBBLE MAKING.
HOW TO PRODUCE THE ENDUR-

Keep for Several Days-Glycerine as
an ingredient Adds Much to tho
Beauty Of tho Spheres. "

Nearly all the boys and girls like to
blow soap bubbles, but the trouble w-.ll
these pretty many colored globes is
that they burst so easily. These need
not be the case If they are blown with
the mixture the recipe for which is CIV
en- here: Cut into very. thin shavings
one-fourth of an ounce of CASTLE soap;
dissolve this in ten ounces Of wa.er,
which is kept warm ,(not hot), and
when. this soap mixture is cool filter it;
put this into a sixteen ounce bottle "a
full pint bottle holds sixteen ounces).
and add glycerine to 1t until the bottle
Is full; put the glycerine in little at
a time, corking the bottle and shak-
ing it as hard as you can after every
few drops Of glycerine. When the bot
tie has been filed and thoroughly mix
ed by shaking as above directed cork
1t up and set away, where it will not
be disturbed for few days.
In short time the mixture will be-
come muddy looking, but after a few
days white layer will be found float
ing on the top, while the rest of it will
be clear. This clear part must be
drawn out without stirring up the tor
layer, and this can be done by the use
OF a siphon. A siphon may be made
from any piece of small rubber tubing
The tube must first be filled with wa
ter and II it is small tube it may be
pinched near the middle and tue water
will not run out even when the ends
hang down. Lower one end of the
tube to the bottom of the bottle and
let the other one hang down outside
Be very sure that the outside end
hangs lower than the bottom of the
bottle. II you have managed this right
first the water that was in the tube
and then the mixture will begin to run
out of the tube and will not stop un.
til the bottle is emptied. Let the water
run out Of the tube first, then as soon
as the mixture begins to come out ol
the tube catch it in another bottle. Al
soon as the white layer on the top oi
the mixture comes down to the bottom
Of the bottle take the tube out, as you
only want the clear part.
Large and beautiful bubbles may be
blown with this glycerine mixture anu

will keep their shape for three or ,fou,

It was In a suburban trolley last
Sunday that the question Of the con-
2ductor's reluctance to receive pennies
In change came up again. This penny
question is like Banquo's ghost and
will not down. A woman passenger
had given the conductor nickel and
five pennies for two fares. 81 would
rather change nve dollars for you,
madam, than take those pennies" the
conductor. said, in a grumbling, yet
perfectly respectful tone. "Why?''
asked the woman. Because the COM
,pany will not take them from us. That
10 the only objection I have to railroad
ing. We must turn in nickels or sill
yer. when our work is DONE" ~But
why do you not sometimes give those
pennies to men? You always palm
them of on women" 'tWell, the wom-
On always seem to keep them specially
for ua. Now, IL the public could only
know what trial they are to us some
times they might understand our re-
,luctance to take them. For instance,
one Of the extras, man who has been
out OF work for a long time, after MAX
ing the number of. trips required of
him found he had fifteen pennies
among his change. He did not have a
cent belonging to himself, and there
was no money ct home, and the pay
that was coming to him at the ONCE
for his weeks work was needed by his
wife and children for bread, They
would not. take the pennies at the ONCE
and he could not draw his pay until
his fares were accounted for. When,
after considerable trouble. he got
three nickels for his fifteen pennies,
and returned to the company's once It

soon there would be one more bluecoat

not give me4a chance to do even this
much. He banged that contounded
sword around my head until could
only hold my gun up and try to save
my face SO that my friends would
have something to Identify me by after
the battle was over. He rained his
blows SO thick that weakened fast
and just as I began to sink from ex-

had sunk down half to my knees with
