1T was a foregone conclusion
when Dewey married the ambitious
sister of John r. Mclean that she
would soon change his mind on
the" subject of politics, but few
people, perhaps, expected the con-
version to take place so soon.
However, he has announced that
he is open to nomination
for the presidency aud seems
not to be particular from which
party the nomination comes.
AS to the Philadelphia convention,
it is quite unlikely that it will turn
Mckinley down and the fight
would then be over the democratic
nomination. In this convention
majority of delegates will be in
structed for Bryan, so it seems
that the admiral will have to accept
second place on one of the tickets

Special to the Ardmoreite


day accorded hearing to the repre-
sentatives of the South mcAlester
convention on the bill introduced in
the house by Representative Gaines,
March ], 1896, and other acts relat-
ing to the United States courts in
the Territory, and for other pur-
poses." While no decision as to
what the committee will do was ar
rived at the necessity of some iegis-
lation which will relieve the con-
tested condition of the court dockets
in the Territory was brought forci-
of the committees. When questioned
after the hearing the chairman and
other leading members of the COM
mittee admitted that some legislation
appeared to be urgent, but stated
that they were unwilling to accept
the provisions of the Gaines bill and
that in their opinion some other
measure not quite so verbose and
| LuOAC
ing the scope of the United States
commissioner courts would be
drafted and reported to the house
shortly.
Judging from the number present
when the judiciary committee met,
it is evident that the question of leg
islation along these lines is one which
is of unusual interest to the people OF
the Territory. The condition as il
exists was presented by severa
speakers in comprehensive form
dealing in detail with the con
gestion of court business and the
utter imposslbility of the fedora
courts to clear up the dockets unles:
some of the business which is nov
before them and which will continue
to increase month by month is d;
verted to other channels. 1t wal
stated that in private suits it is al
most impossible to obtain a hearing
; most of the time of the federal courts
being occupied in disposing of Grim
inal cases and others in which tht
nations were vitally interested anC
which it was important should bt
disposed of in order to facilitate thu
work of the Dawes commission il

that some legislation along these

The Co.sncks of the Don.

The Don Cossacks are the finest look ing race of men ever seen. Kingly in their carriage, tall and slender, 1.-the and graceful, their untamed spirit visi- ble in every motion, their bearing is that of an unconquered people. Used as a living barrier against the Tartar invasions of Russia, they were never conquered. Living in what they call camps, each with his horse and gun, they are always ready to move in re- sponse to the emperor's call.
 Their costume Is long, tight fitting coat reaching to the knee, having loose sleeves and a small, standing collar and with a row of ammunition pockets across the breast. The colored belt which encircles the Cossack's slender waist bristles with ornamented knives, daggers and pistols. Soft, high boots without heels and a great lambs wool cap, with a little touch of color for the soft crown, and then the burka or long cape of hairy felt which they seem to wear in all sorts of weather com plete the costume. These burkas ap- pear to be worn on the theory that what keeps out the cold keeps out the heat. Anyway, these long black or white garments protect horse and rider equally from the rain and cold.-Self Cult1rp

The Sign Painters.

The question has been asked of sign painters hundreds of times, (Which letter of the alphabet do you consider the hardest or most difficult to make P It is but natural to make the in quiry, for to the novice some particu- lar letters are more perplexing than others. It Is most generally conceded by some experts that the Roman capi- tai letter "R" is the most difficult. Others will say that an IS" Is very hard to make, and many strongly con- tend that the character "&' Is the hardest and most difficult of any in the entire alphabet. Practically speak Ing, all of these letters are somewhat difficult, and to the young beginner they are not easily mastered.
 It has frequently been supposed that an artist of ability on account of his great talent in drawing would of course naturally make a good sign painter, but the experiment has been tried and given up with unsatisfactory results.
 An artist may draw and paint a most beautiful picture, but when 1t comes to forming a perfect letter he Is entirely out of the race. About 47 years ago there were five we'll known artists of this city who were also ex- perts at lettering, they having learned and worked at this branch previously. New York Times.
