The Judge Furman lecture OF last
night was listened to by fair au-
diance and was an able effort in
showing "God and Immortality
from the standpoint Of Mason
1t was more of a sermon thal a
lecture, with the argument of a
lawyer and the eloquence of master
and was highly enjoyed by the au-
dience. The Judge after his lecture
turned to the theme nearest his
heart, that of raising funds for
widows and orphans home in the
Indian territory, and while he did
not say so distinctly it is understood
to be an institution under charge
of the Masonic fraternity, and is
voluntary work, not a cent being
drawn for any labor used in solicit
ing funds, etc. The location has
not as yet been selected, nor will it
be until the funds are all in hand to
begin the work. The speaker said
he wanted no promises to pay in the
future-such would not build asy-
lums, and the asylum was what he
was working for. He had set his
heart on it, and was giving all the
lime he could to the work. He
promised to arrange his Iabors so as

ment to Indian Inspector Wrigh'
will apply to the merchants of the
Cherokee nation, we do not know
The following instructions from
Secretary Hitchcock looks as if
the collection of the tribal tax was
to be an accomplished fact.
The United States Indian In
spector for the Indian Territory,
l. T.-Sir: Referring to your
several communications requesting
authority to remove certain par
ties from the Chickasaw and
Choctaw nations upon the request
of the executive thereof, for the
reason that said parties have failed
and refuse to pay the tribal taxes
uue such nations for permission to
reside and carry on business there
in, yon are ADVISED that on the
18th ultimo the department re-
luested an opinion of the attorney
"as to the duties, powers
md authority of this department
n the matter of the collection of |
permit taxes imposed by the law
# the respective Indian nations in
he Ind territory, known as
he five civilized tribes, upon non
itizens engaged in various pur-
uits within the Territorial limits
f such nations"
The attorney general was re- /
uested to answer the following
uestions: II
..Have these nations the right |
require non-cltizens to pay a
ermit tax or license fee for the d
riyilege of engaging in business C

"Do the provisions of the act ii

"Will the lands of any natio

"What is the full scope of the
authority and duty of this depart
ment in the premises under the
treaty with these nations and the
laws of the Unitsd States regulat-
ing trade and intercourse with the
Indians!"
GRIGGs' OPINION.
On the 7th, .nst., the attorney
general rendered his decision,
pursuant to said request, in which
he held, among other things, that
under the provisions of sections
2147 and 2150, inclusive, of the
revised statues of 1.-THE United
States, "the authority and duty
Of the interior department is,
within any of these Indian ma
ions, to remove all persons of the
classes forbidden by treaty or law
who are there without Indian per-
nit or license; to close all busi-
less which requires permit or
license, where such license or
permit is required. +"
The attorney general suggests,
owever, that on account of the
lumber of persons engaged in
usiness and the large interests
lvolved, "public notice be first
iven to all persons residing or
on business without an
ndian permit or license, where,
,r such residence or business :
ich permit is required, that un-
IS such permit or license be
otained by a short day named,
lch business closed, and in case
cattle pasturea, without per- i
ission, where permission is re- :
Tired, such cattle will be remov-
from the nation. "
You are therefore directed to y
use public notice to be given as Y
ggested by the attorney gener- Z
and you will fix the time Y
arein at ten days from the date Y
,reof, after which all such per- 7

Il be removed from the nation, Y
III places of business will be y y
sed, and that cattle being pas :
ed on the public lands without Y
payment of the tribal tax will y
moved from that particular Y
ion in which they are being Y
tured.
f, at the expiration of said ten =
s, any persons, person or Y
poration has failed or refused Y
omply with the requirements Z

was done for two years. When they

New Zealand is country rich In the
great variety Of its forest trees-most Of
them useful, all beautiful. but none to
compare with kauri pine either for state
ly beauty or commercial value. This no.
bic tree attains a height Of nearly 200
feet and q diameter of Is or more. Its
stem, or barrel. as the bushmen call 1t.
rises from 80 to 20 feet without knot or
limb and then branches into an even head
Of dark green foliage. At the place
where it forks the stem is almost the
same in circumference rs II is six feet
from the ground and as it has bark col,
ore1 in various shades Of red or brown it
gives one the impression Of beautiful
pillar at the entrance to some woodland
temple.
Every tree is surrounded by mound
Of tibrous soil consisting Of decayed
leaves, bark, ETC.. the accumulation of
centuries, for the kauri Is extremely
slow in its growth. These mounds rise
from two to six feet in height. according
to the age Of the tree. Put the most re-
markable thing about the kauri is the
quantity of resinous gum which Is shed
from every part Of it. This gum bardcns
rapidly on exposure to the air, eventua.y
becoming clear and almost transparent

avsH,Na INTO THE GRAVE.


Persons whs Make UnneeessaFy
Haste Only That They May Die.
"Why will elderly and especially portly
persons who have suspected cardiac dis
arrangements persist. in spite Of the nu-
merous examples Of sudden death that
are recorded almost daily In the papers,
In actually rushing themselves into the
graveT said a well known physician.
Sturgeon General Hammond died after
hurried run up stairs, and Herbert
Spencer, though warned by his physi-
clans that death would follow any undue
exercise, persisted in an effort to vault a
stile, which he finally did, only to expire
from heart disease few hours Inter. He
might have lived many years.
Il cannot understand why men and
women Of all ages and degrees Of health
will race after street cars as though their
lives depended upon catching a particu-
lar car when it Is common knowledge
that the cars are run Oh leeway of
from one to three minutes. 1t Is the
same impelling reason, l presume, that
will cause man who is being carried
past his station to leap from the moving
electric or steam car to certain injury or
death.
'In running the body is entirely thrown
from the ground for an instant with each
step, and it is the most violent Of exer-
cises. The heart and lungs are suddenly
called upon to respond to the unusual and
violent strain, and hemorrhage from the
latter and rupture Of the valves of the
former often follow. The heart is a
tough muscle but 1t has its limits. The
body, after all, Is like cable-as strong
as its weakest part.
"This is well exempli6ed In autopsies
upon the bodies of athletes. In many
cases Of perfect muscular development
the lungs. heart or kidneys have been
found 80 diseased that had not death re.
suited from other causes this diseased
condition would soon have produced it.
"In portly persons, In addition to the
pressure Of tight clothes, especially stays,
fat fills up the thorax. crowds the lungs
and heart and interferes with their natu-
raj functions. Undue exertion causes
'shortness Of breath or queer feeling
In the region Of the heart. This is ma.

give any at all, to 60 slow or else stop

The cut and dried plan of hold
Ing elections for delegates is not
calculated to arouse any enthusiasm
in the Republican party workers.
The naming of men for delegates
who rarely, if ever, attend a Re-
publican meeting is another just
cause tor complaint. Take the
men selected as delegates in
the Fifth ward on Wednesday
evening; only one was at the meet
ing. After the meeting had been
called to order, the names Of the
men for delegates were presented,
seconded and carried. twas done
in an expeditions manner. Com
plants have also come from other
wards at the unfair manner the
delegates were selected. The plan
has been for few voters to get to-
gether. fix up slate and rush it
through in the old fashioned way,
not caring whose toes or rights are
trod upon. The complaints come
from Regular Republicans and
workers at the polls. men who have
the good Of the party at heart and
have never held Office.
