On the goth and 21st days Of No
vember. 1899. the Dawes commits
sion will. at its Office in Muskogee.
I. T.. hear the arguments of coun-
sci for the Choctaw and Chickasaw
tribes and for applicants on the fol-
lowing questions Of law relating to
Choctaw and Chickasaw citizen
ship:
1. Does an intermarried citizen
who loses his Indian wife and af-
terwards marries a non citizen,
thereby forfeit his right to enroll
ment as an intermarried citizenf
2. Where white man marries q
Choctaw or Chiekasaw citizen first
under the laws of the United States,
or of sany state and afterwards
marries his wife under tribal laws,
does he thereby become entitled to
enrolment as an intermarried cit
izen?
Such other questions of law as
may be suggested. which appears
to affect the general question of
citizenship in said tribes so far as
the commission has authority under
its instructions and the law to con-
slider same.
Attorneys interested in such
questions will please be present at
said time and place and select a
limited number of those present to
present said question in argument
in behalf of the tribes and appli-
cants.
Attorneys for applicants whose
cases are contested, and attorneys
for said tribes will, at as early
date as possible, prepare and send
to the commission at Muskogee,
list of the cases IN which they de-
sire to be heard, and the commits
sion will then fix a date for the
hearing and will notify attorneys
of same.
Attorneys for tribes will be re-
quired to notify each adult, or head
of the family whose case is con-
tested, and such applicant may then
appear and be heard by himself or
by counsel. Such notice may be
given by registering same and pro-
ducing to the commission certi-
ficate of the postmaster that same
was duly registered by him at his
Office. TAMS BIXBY,

GLOUCESTER, Mass. (SpeciaD.-Captain
William Corkum, Of the fishing schooner
Mondego, which arrived at this port few
days ago from fishing trip, brought news
that the overdue slonan line steamer
Moravis, CAPTAIN JorSeasen, which
sailed from Hamburg for Boston, with

name Of the Moravia. Two days later he
spoke the schooner Arbitrator, Captain
Spinney, also Of this port, who, on learning
what Captain Corkum had picked up, in
formed him that the Moraria was ashore
and broken in two.
Captain Corkum sighted the schooner

Monster MAD of London,

The London County Council propose
to be represented at the Paris Exhi-
bition in 1900. Among other exhibits
they will present large contour map
of the county of London, which the
General Purposes Committee is now
having prepared. The map will be
between thirty and forty feet square.
All the principal buildings, such as
the Houses of Parliament, Westmin-
ster Abbey, st. Paul's, etc., are rep
resented by correct models, while
railway stations, bridges and public
squares are oil similarly given. One
of the most noticeable features of the
map are the squares and open spaces,
which are lavishly stocked with imi-
tation trees and shrubs, and in the
case of those parks where ornamental
waters form one of the chief attrac-
tions these features are correctly rep
resented, as are also the large reser-
voirs of the water companies. When
finished the map will be an exhibit
we'll worthy of the largest metropolis
in the world. The map will afterward
be of great use to the Council for the
purpose of making street improve
ments and other changes.-Was hing

RufIding a Eattleship.

The evolution of battleship starts
in the mold loft, when the future YES
sci is laid off to her full size to enable
those responsible for the work to test
the accuracy of the drawings and
guage with exactitude the quantities
of various material which will be re-
quired. The laying off and coinci-
dent preparation of the framing oc.
cupy some considerable time, but
after two or three months of prepara-
ton all is ready and the slipway on
which the leviathan is to grow is pre-
pared for the laying of the keel, an
operation requiring the greatest pos
sible care, inasmuch as the least de-
Walton from the. line shown in the
drawings would materially interfere
with the navigable quality of the COM
pleted ship.
The keel satisfactorily laid, the next
process consists of the building up of
the great ribs destined to support the
vessels skin and armor. and to give
her form and strength, and the fram,
ing and heavy steel deck beams,
which have been prepared in the
smiths shop, are brought alongside
the slips and one by one attached to
the keel and united by cross pieces
which keep them in position.-New

"capital Punishment" in Switzerland.


Because the existing laws of tho
Canton of Geneva saved Luccheni,
the murderer of the Empress of Aus
tria. from death by law, it has been
generally assumed abroad, even by
editors, that "capital punishment" is
no longer in forco in Switzerland.
The fact seems unknown or forgotten
that the Swiss Cantons occupy toward
the federation a position similar to
that of our States toward the Union.
In Switzerland there are still as many
penal codes as there are Cantons and
half Cantons-twenty-fve. "Capital
punishment" was, indeed, abolished
throughout the republic by federal
law, in 1874 I think; but subsequent
increase in the number of murders
brought about a change in public
opinion on the question, and the sew
eral Cantons were again invested
with the right to take "life for life, I"
30 that now the laws of some Cantons
impose death as the extreme penalty,
while the lawmakers of the others de-
cline to do 80. know of at least one
murderer who was sentenced to death
in the Canton of Schafhausen last
year. The communication of his SEN
tence to imprisonment for life was re-
ceiyed with surprise and not at all
favorably by the people Of the said
Canton.-A Letter in the New York

e'9 u M y a. s?ssss5 A GRIP CURE that DOES CURE.
A Siamese Swell.

One of my neighbors was an inter-
esting creature, and evidently we'll
pleased with himself. He wore long
finger nails, and seeing me look at him
spread out his left hand, evidently for
my admiration. On the fourth finger
he wore large Chinese ring, and all
the nails were long, particularly
those of the fourth and fifth fingers,
which had grown to length Of at
least an inch. They looked like huge
claws, especially when he tried to pick
up anything from the seat. The
owners of such nails regard them with
extreme satisfaction, and cultivate
them so carefully that they sometimes
attain a prodigious length.
They are largely affected by Siamese
and Chinese clerks, who fancy them
selves exquisites. 1t is supposed to
indicate the fact that their owners do
no manual work. Curiously enough,
in 30 far off place as Mexico, the
same idea exists; but there it is gener-
ally confined to the little finger. I
do not know what else he had to be
proud about, unless it was his right
leg, which was elaborstely tattooed
above the knee. He was dressed in
only panung, and to a cord around
his waist was attached wallet for his
tobacco, betelnut, etc. He also carried
some food wrapped in piece of green
plantain leaf. -Gentlemsn's Magazine.

GET A RAISE IN WAGES.
New England Mill Workers Secure
an Advance of Il l-2 Per Cent.
MANUFACTURERS AVOID A STRIKE

Representatives of the Operatives Held q
Conference With tho Mill Owners as
Fall River and Won Signal Victory
The Advance ,is General, and Over
10000 Workers Are Benefited.
FALL RIVER. Mass. (SpeciaD.-Concerted
action on the part OF the textile labor
organizations OF this city has forced the
Manufacturers Association, representing
the mill owners, to increase the wages 1915
per cent. 1t is signal victory for the
trades unions In New England, and its in
fluence will be felt In every mill town east
OF the Hudson River.
Already news of a corresponding increase
IN wages comes from Providence, p. l.,
Lowell, Lawrence, New Bedford and nearly
all the great mill centres in this section OF
the country. The advance in wages takes
efYect in this city on April 8. Its direct ef-
feet In Fall River will be to add $4,000 4
week to the wages Of 80, 900 operatives en-
ployed in eighty-one cotton mills. oWnei
by forty corporations. ',"- o..
; There Is no doubt about ninety per cent.
OF oil the mills In New England following
the lead Of this city, and that means many
hundreds OF thousands OF dollars In the
pockets OF the mill operatives, and there
fore additional prosperity throughout this
sectioH.' .'*-~--'
;, Il was for this identical raise OF 1915 per
cent. that the New Bedford mill workers
waged the greatest strike in the history OF
the industry just one year ago. Led BY
able representatives, Fall River operatives
resorted to diplomacy and played wait
ing game. without loss Of one days
work they havo won where New, Bedford
failed; won not only for themselves, but
for their fellow workmen throughout the
country.
Fifteen representatives Of the labor
unions, known as tho Textile Council, met
by agreement the subcommittee OF the
manufacturers Association to discuss the
demand which the operatives had made Tor
IN Increase OF 1215 per cent. in wages. The
manufacturers showed no disposition to
restore wages willingly, and it was only
after the hardest kind OF fight that the
representatives OF the labor unions were
able to make terms with them.
