AROUND THE WORLD.
But a Year and net Eighty
Days will be Consumed.

The latter part of this month E.
L. Halsell and wife, of this city,
and the gentleman's niece, Miss
Electra Waggoner, of Decatur,
Texas, who was up here in June
to attend the wedding of her
cousin, Ewing, will start on a tour
of the world. They intend to take
steamer September 2, at Vancou-
yer, B. c. possibly at San Fran
cisco Unsteady, for Japan, by
the way of Honolulu, Hawaii.
After touring Japan they will go
to Hongkong, China, and take
steamer for Manila. Mr.. Halsell
went to Cuba last year, too late to
see a battle, and this fall he in
tends to see one in the Philip
pines-if there are any. From
Manila they will retrace their way
to Hongkong and 60 thence to
India, and perhaps to the Holy
Land, though their route has not
been by any means perfected.
Switzerland and the Alps will be
included n their tour, and of
course the Paris exposition will
be visited. In addition, Mr.. Hal
sell intends visiting Dublin. When
he went with Mrs. Halsell and
Mrs. Parker, then Miss Hall, to
Alaska some years ago, Mr.. Hal
sell formed the acquaintance of
a couple of Irish lords, and
was invited, if be ever went
to Europe, to visit them, and as
sured a good time. He is now
going to "call" them.
A years time is intended to be
consumed on the tour-and all
the money necessary to make it
agreeable. 1t is a pleasure TO
state, and our readers will be glad
to hear that Mr.. Halsell has prom
ised freqent letters to The Daily
Chieftain during their absence.

ONIONS FOR THE SEASlCK.
Safe and Sure Preventive That should
BE Taken on Yachting
Parties.

a safe and sure preventive, II not
cure, of sea sickness, has been found In
picked onions. 4 rich young merchant
in this city went a-fshing 10 the Chol-
era banks, and was obliged, by one Of
those marital necessities, TO take along
his wife. lie gave her oceans of advice
against going, pointing out every real
and imaginary discomfort to be found
on a public fishing boat, TO all of which
she made answer that she could stand
the worst. 1t was day of heavy ground
swells, one of the kind on which even
the regulars feel sinking sensation in
the pit of the stomach. Mrs. Persist
ence grew pale, then white. Her lips
got blue. Her teeth nervously ratified.
20, no! am not sick; only-only-"
Here, my dear, lie down in this easy
chair. Let me bundle you up. What
makes you so white? You are sick!

carried along a jar of picked onions.
Bloodworms were used for bait. Let
me bait your hook, my dear" 20,
don't feel like fishing" Here is a fine
worm. There! Goodness, how ran
that hook into my finger! See it bleed"
1t was the gore of the worm, but she
believed il his, and she trembled. An
ashen color settled in her face. Don't
let me see il" she murmured. He men
toned every unpleasant subject posi-
ble, but she refused to yield to the Sc
ductions OF the swell and roll. Then,
taking pity, he produced the onions
a quart jar. His testimony is that she
ate at least pint, then took up her rod
and fished the rest of the day, catching
lings of two, three and five pounds,
laughing as merrily as a child at play
as she hauled them inn. Y. Press.

Criticism in the Pulpit.

1t may be recorded, as a rule,
pretty universally reliable, that a
man or woman who is particularly
severe upon the minor sins of
mankind-who lacks compassion
for the fallen, and consideration
for the weak and tempted-carries,
nine times out of ten, a large SID,
with a little name, in the sleeve.
Those who see much to find fault
with in others, and who are prone
to magnify and dwell upon the
shortcomings of their neighbors,
are those who have an interest in
depreciating the life and character
around them. Men do not work
for nothing. They work for pay;
and when | see one who seems
particularly desirous of depreciat-
ing others, l know it is only for
the purpose of binding them down
to the mean standard which he is
conscious measures his own life.
"Who art thou that judgest anoth-
er mans seIvant?" Who gave
you authority to measure other
peoples corn by your particular
bushel? Who gave you liberty 10
thrust forward your fallible judg-
ment, your warped and weak reas-
on, your little notions, your
unchsritable heart, your long and
lathy creed, and your rule of life
taken at second hand, and badly
damaged at that-as the standard
of the great worlds life? Why
will you be always sallying out to
break lances with other peoples
windmilIs, when your own is not
capable of grinding corn for the
horse you ride? Doubtless the
world is wicked enough, but 1t
will not be improved by the ex-
tension of spirit which self-right-
eously sees more to reform outside
of itself than in itself. Doubtless
there are great sins, practiced by
multitudes of men, but they will
hardly be diminished by those
who bring into the enterprise Of
determination a greater amount of
baggage than they can Defend

WHO WAS HE!
Man FOnnd at Gibson Station is In
identified.

The man reported to have been
found dead near Gibson station,
was not dead when found. He
was first discovered by a doctor
living at Correta, who was driving
through Maj. Barbee's pasture,
on his way to Gibson station. The
doctor said the man was lying out
near the road as be passed and as
he was i'm a hurry be drove on to
Gibson station and intended to
look after the party as be return
ed. When ne returned the man
was gone from where he discover
ed him and he never saw him
again. On Sunday evening the
man was found again in a helpless
condition by parties of Gibson
station, who took charge of him.
DR.. Tucker called to see the man
but could not save his life. The
man died Sunday night and was
buried the following day the
people of Gibson station paying
expenses. The unfortunate man,
Major Barbee said, looked TO be
80 about years of age, was about .
feet and eight inches high and
resembles a Cherokee, but he did
not know whether he was an In
dian or not. All that could be
learned from the party was that
he had a brother whose name was

Decline and FAN of Corn Bread.

1t seems To us that our own people
are not the great cornbread eaters they
used to be. Batter or egg bread and
certain cakes are still in vogue, but the
honest and homely corn Pone, the corn
dodger ana the hoecake are not as
popular as they used to be. As for the
ashcake, the cooking of it has become a
lost art almost. We charge this change,
in part at least, 10 the introduction,
even in most country homes, OF the
modern cooking stove and range. II
takes a great big open fireplace and a
southern negress, with a red bandana
on her head, TO make prime cornbread.
Nor will any meal but underground
meal serve the best purpose. Steam

The Daily Chieftain was GEN.
sured during the campaign just
ended for seeking to cline up" the
Downing party, and TO draw the
line between Downing and Ma
tional. One object was to place
the executive in an unhampered
situation, in order that the Chero
kes people might not be embar-
rassed and injured by a council
and senate counter to the chief.
Yesterdays election was of vastly
more importance than some good
citizens seem to realize. The
Cherokees are going to be called
upon to take part in the final set
Element of their affairs, and if they
refuse it will be done for them, in
a very rough manner, too.

Ordinarily it is good politics to
vote a party ticket. Especially is
this true where a legislature is TO
be elected. Hence the necessity
of electing a senate and council in
harmony with the chief. 1t were
poor politics and senseless short
sightedness to vote for men for
personal reasons in the election
yesterday. In an election the
consideration Of mere men should
be lost sight of and measures
should be considered. If the folly
of those who on Monday desired
.-.vote for men rather than party
should cost the Cherokees a chance
to make a treaty with the Dawes
commission, the evil effects Of
such voting will be apparent.

The reason Ninita was nearly
free from drunkenness Monday
was on account of the invoice Of
LIQUOR intended for this place
being stolen at Fairland and sent
elsewhere. 1t was sent to Fair
land, to be shipped from there,
but some enterprising politician
stole it and carried it away Sunday.
Itis source of pleasure that
the Cherokee political campaign
has closed without the usual bitter
ness that has heretofore character
lied such election. The extremity
bad record of some of the men who
on other occasions have run for
office made it almost imperative
that their personal character be
shown up. The necessity Of such
a course this year has not mani
tested itself. There is little doubt
but an unusually intelligent senate
and council will be elected this
time.

was the mother Of four children the old
est Of which was about six years and. the
youngest only six months Of age. For
about year now she has been IN III
health and particularly since the birth Of
the last child and she has constantly felt
that her illness was an unnecessary bur
den on her husband. Once some over a
year ago she attempted suicide by cut
ting her throat with knife but she did
not cut deep enough and so recovered
from tho wound Yesterday morning

but thought nothing strange Of her de-
parture to the bed room. A short time
afterwards they looked into the room to
see II the young woman was resting,
when to their horror they discovered that
she lay upon the bed with n deep cut
from a razor in the. throat. DIR. Cou-
teuerrs was summoned and Inter DIR.
SMITH wss called. but both pronounced
the woman dead. and they were of the
opinion she died aImost instantly.
The woman altar she had committed
the deed must haye raised herself from
the bed as the bed cIpthes had been soiled
with blood and the razor was tucked in
between the shasts.
In some way there was a misunder-
standing as to notifying coroner. and
the matter went along until three O'Clock
before any word reached Mr.. W. p.
Hodsdon, who was few days ago ap-
pointed a coroner by the governor. but
as Mr.. Hodsdon'had not qualified he could
not act on the case, so sent word at once

lana, who went out and after viewing the
body decided that an inquest was unneo-
sssary.
