Hen. Joseph II. Manley of Augusta,
Me-, member of the Republican Ma
tional Committee from Maine and Chair
man OF the Executive Committee of the
National Committee, was seen by a
Boston journal reporter at Young's
hotel, last week When asked in regard
to the outlook for the nomination of vice
president he is reported TO have said ::
I'm my judgment the candidate for vice
president at the Republican National
convention is shaping itself in favor of
the nomination of Hon. John D. Long of
Massachusetts, Mr.. Manley is situated
so that he has remarkably good oppor-
tunity to get the drift of affairs and
the opinions of prominent Republicans
on this question. Secretary Long would
be very acceptable to Maine.

a Curious Suit.

Just what market price can be
fixed on social functions is ques.
tion that will have to be decid.
eddy a jury in the civil dis
trict court Of New Orleans if a case
that was filed a fortnight ago ever
goes to trial. 1t is a suit for $2l 900
damages, and the major part OF the
amount sued for is alleged as due
from the fact that the defendant in
the suit was responsible for the in
ability OF the plaintiffs daughter to
attend certain social functions.
1t is suit instituted by Mrs.A.M.
Lewis against the firm OF d. H.
Holmes g. Co, OF Now Orleans,
Briefly, tho complaint in the petit.
ton is that Holmes was TO furnish
five dresses to o daughte. Of the

plaintiff, and that, owing to the lac
that the dresses we're not ready o.
the time agreed on, the daughter
was unable to attend the msuyfo'lo
functions.
To make matters worse, 1t was the
occasion OF the marriage OF the
daughter, and in the order OF dresses
was = weddiug.gown. This gown
the petition alleged, arrived just on
the eve OF the wedding, aud was
found to be four inches too short
Mrs. Lewis thinks she 10 entitled TO
damages because her daughter, Miss
LULU Lewis, now Mrs. Frank Else
man, was deprived OF the intellect
ual and social enjoyment which she
and her husband would have expert
eucad had she been able to accept
the invitations to social festivities,
which, among people in their class
in life, always follow wedding.
She claims that they received
numerous invitations TO all sorts OF
social enjoyments within the thirty
days Immediately following the we'd
ding, which occurred on the 10Th OF
April, which they were unable to
accept and enjoy and ware deprived
OF, by reason OF the willful violation
OF the contract on the part OF the
defendants, who did not even at
tempt to finish The four dresses
which we're intended to enable the
said Lulu Lewis to be properly ar.
rayed on such social occasion, great.
ly to her modification and to her
deprivation OF the enjoyment OF
which she had a right to anticipate,
and did anticipate, on such an &C.
caSion.
There is the usual concluding
paragraph asking for judgment for
$2l 600, and that the Holmes firm be
condemned to receive back the we'd.
ding-gown and return the SIS paid
for it. A demand is made for trial
by jury.-S. F. Argonaut:

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. 22.-The &C
the national house of representatives in
adopting a clause in the Indian appropria-
ton bill providing for the abandonment
of Sisseton agency in this state will wipe
out one of the best known and most
famous of the Indian agencies of the
Northwest. The Sisseton Indians,
branch OF the Teton Sioux, settled on the
ground now occupied by them, in the
extreme northeastern part of the state,
many generations ago, dispiacing the
Poncas, an offshoot of the Omahas who
previous to the encroachment of the
Sissetons had their homes on Big Stone
lake and adjacent territory.
There are a tot;N of 1882 Sisseton In
dams. The land is very desirable for
agriculture and grazing, AMI it was speed
lily occupied by white settlers who maze
entry under the homestead laws.
a number of thriving, towns have since
been built on the ceded land, among them
being Sesseton, now the county seat Of
Roberts county; Ellington and Summit.
A majority of the Sisseton Indians
plant only a small spot each summer
with corn and potatoes They are not
stock raisers. They rent their allotments
to white farmers for a cash rental, and
this, with the sums paid them at stated
periods by the government as interest
on funds held in trust for sHem by the
United States, gives them sufficient to
live upon.
