Timber Cutting Regulations.

The new timber regulations
made public by the interior de-
partment are regarded as being
very strict, and it is expect
ed that general protest will go
up from the railway companies
and other corporations desiring to
utilize this timber against these
regulations, as they are far more
stringent than expected by the
by the agents of the companies
who secured the regulations, it will
be remembered, timber can only
be cat on agricultural land desired
to be cleared and then only with
the express consent OF the tenn
porary allottees. Much complaint
is being made because of delay in
acting upon applications for cut
ting timber in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations. The secre-
tary of the interior seems to be
in no hurry in granting privileges
in this direction. The Indians
get more protection under the reg
ulations than formerly, as it has
always been maintained by them
that the timber industry and also
the quarryiDg of stone business has
suffered from abuse from persons
who took advantage of the privi-
leges granted to m.-South Nc.

Chairman TNttle Goes East and viii

Mr.. Dwight NJ. Tuttle, chairman
of the Muskogee townsite commits
sion, has received an invitation
from Secretary Hitchcock to come
to Washington. There was no
other information only than that
he was indefinitely furloughed as
chairman of the commission.
Mr.. Tuttle stated to the Times
representative this morning that
he presumed that the secretary
wanted information regarding the
present status of the Muskogee
townsite affair. He said that
nothing could be done until the
Injunction was dissolved and it
was practically useless for him to
remain here. Mr.. Tuttle stated
further that he did not expect to
return to Muskogee. or at least
that his return was altogether
prOblematical. Accompanied by

"
Edward Box, writing in Ladies' Home
Journal, on "A Boy for Husband,"
contends that mo young man under
IS years of age is in any sense compe-
tent TO take unto himself wife. Be
fore that age he IS simply a boy who has
absolutely nothing which he Gun offer
to girl as a safe foundation for life
happiness. He is uniformed in his char
acter, unsettled in his ideas, absolutely
ignorant of the first essentials of what
consideration or love for q woman
means. He doesn't know himself, let
alone knowing a woman. He is full of
fancies, and it is his boyish nature to
fit from one fancy to another. He is
incapable Of the affection upon which
love is based, because he has not lived
long enough to know what the feeling
or even the word means. He is full of
theories, each one of which, when he
comes to put it into practice, will fail.
he is boy, pure and simple, passing
through that trying period through
which every boy must pass before he
becomes man. But that period is not
the marrying time. For as his opinions
of life are to change, SO are his fancies
OF the girl he esteems as the only girl
in the world to make him happy. The
man of 80 rarely weds the girl whom he
fancied when he was 90"

Bagdad is one of the last of the un

Bagdad is one of the last of the un-
spoiled great cities of the east. The
bazaar of Constantinople has been de-
filed by western innovations, and Eu-
ropean fashions are stealing into the
shops of Tabriz. Bagdad is changing,
too, but its colors and ways are rich
still with suggestions of the days OF
the caliphs and the luxurious era
of Islam. The old part of the customs
house is the palace of the caliphate,
hoary with the marks of more than
eight centuries, and mosque and min
aret recall great names of great days
which will never come again. In the
palace court now, writes Robert E.
Speer, in Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly, are iron from Birmingham
and cotton from Manchester, matches
from Sweden and cheaper and more
sulphurous ones from Japan, china
ware from China and Russia, spirits
and sugar from Marseilles, with
wheat for shipment to London and
wool and hides for America. Where
the caliph's fayorites once sold king
doms, inspectors now take their pet
ty bribes. 1t is a curious bedlam.

JAMES D. LYNCH.
The Historian Makes Vinita
a Visit.

James ~. Lynch arrived from
Chicago last night and is stopping
at the Western. He has been en-
gagged in writing a history of the
five tribes for several years past.
OF his work the Chicago Inter-
Ocean has the following
"James D. Lynch, the southern
writer, whom Chicago people re-
member as the author of the off.
cial poem of the worlds fair, en-
titled Columbia Saluting the Ma
tions,' is in Chicago stopping at
the Great Northern hotel. Mr..
Lynch now lives with his children
in Sulphur Springs, Texas, but he
has spent most of his time during
the last three years travelling over
Indian Territory and preparing a
DOCK on the indians.
This work was taken up at the
suggestion of Hoke Smith. when
he was secretary Of the interior,
with the idea that history of the
past dealings of the government
with the Indians would be val
liable guide for the future. The
book is now completed, and Mr..
Lynch mas come TO Chicago to put
it in the hands of reliable publish
ers.
The book is complete review
of all the dealings of both the
British and the United States gov
ernments with the FIVE Indian
tribes which constitute the five
nations of Indian Territory, as
well as a history of their origin,
and contains biographical sketches
OF the leading Indians of the terri
tory, and much descriptive matter.
Its compilation necessitated a
great deal of research among the
works of other authors and gov
ernment reports. The descriptive
parts of the work were written
while Mr.. Lynch was travelling
through Indian territory, whole
chapters being written in stage
coaches.
Through the operation of the
Curtis law, Indian Territory will
become regular territory or
state within two years and the In
dians will become citizens of the
United States" said Mr.. Lynch
yesterday. "The Indians want it
to become a state, and there is suf-
fcient population there to make
statehood possible. The day is
very near when Indian Territory
will be splendid state of the Un-
ion."

has begun to make his way toward the
metropolis in anticipation of the fight. In
the cafes and betting booths where profess
slonal athletics are canvaSsed and men
put their money down for better or for
worse, they are talking about the fight
and its prospective outcome.
Jeffries. present holder of the champion
ship. rules a genuine favorite far and away
above the other Californian, who once wore
the tawdry silver belt, but yet the play
upon the event has been light. There is
plenty of Corbett money in evidence. but
the men who hold it want long odds. They
are asking to L. and the other fellows are
chary about getting down at that rate.
Purely on form the odds of = to l are ius-
tilted, but there are two elements of un-
certainty about the contest One is a lack
or precise knowledge as to the extent to
which Corbett has reganed his old-time
form, and the other is doubt as to the con-
dition of Jeffries. When the match was
proposed Corbett was one of the grand
old men of pugilism. In his last fight one
OF his seconds had broken into the ring
with the object of sparing his hero the
lgnominy of defeat. There We're lamenta-
ticns over the fall of the champion, who
quickly announced his retirement and en-
tered that postgraduate course of pugilism

New Entry to the Ring Jeered.
There was laugh and a sneer when Cor
bett announced his return to the game. and

Corbett himself succeeded in winning a
hearing He went assiduously to work to
restore and build up his strength That he
has shown wonderful gains there can be no
doubt, bIt the ultimate decision on what he
has accomplished must be reserved until he
proves his case in the ring before the ref
cree. He looks fit. His step is light and
swingy. he is marvelously active in the
gymnasium. and his work does not seem to
tire him. Above it all, he IS very conf
dent. He is still keen of eye and quick of
hand. but no accurate measure can be taken
of either his vitality or his strength They
are the unknown factors in the calculation.

on the 18th of this month are three soloists
who. while not absolutely new to a Wash
inSton audience, have never before appeare.
under the same advantages as in the com
ing concert. Mr.. Jean B. H. Moeremans
the saXophone soloist, is perhaps bette,
known to our city than either of the other
two He was for years a member of the
famous Sousa Band, now engaged at tn,
Paris exposition, and as the leading SOLOS
of that organization has won much fame
throughout the country. Mr. Moereman.
began his career as a member of the ia

and won the first prize a saxophone Sc
loiSt in a famous international competitio;
at Paris. During his connection with tn
Marine Band he has won many friends ar.
admirers by his musician.y playing an.
many social qualities.
Mr.. Jacques Louis Vanpoucke has ap-
peared but a few times as soloist since hi
residence in our city, but is destined to be
come more popular with each appearance
This Will be his first opportunity to show
the splendid technique and perfect contro
which he exercises over his instrument
Mr.. Nanpoucke was born in the CITY O.
Ghent and began the study of the clarinet
when twelve years of age. At fourteen he
performed his first solo in the presence OF
an audience numbering over 5000 persons

poucke's career since that event wou
only be repetition of successes that occur
with monotonous regularity. He spent two
years in Holland, where he performed in
all the principal cities. Through the prov
ince of Quebec, Canada, his name has be-
come household word among musicians.
1t was from Montreal that he came to the
United States.
Frank V. Badollet, the flute soloist, is an
American born and comes from a western
state. 1t has been said that the American
is not musical and that he must be edu-
Gated abroad If he would attain eminence
Mr.. Bado,let is American in everything but
name, and to hear him is lesson in ma
tional pride.
An unusual degree of interest is being
manifested, the advance sale of seats
indicates already. The eminent patrons and
patronesses have stamped the occasion as
one of the notable events of society, and
the assurance which the name of the Ma
rine Band gives that the musical program
viii meet the expectations of such an audi
ence is sure to draw heavily upon the gen
eral public. The citizens relief committee
can rely upon material addition to its re-
sources for the needs of the city poor.
