BOTHERED BY NAMES.
Even the Deat of scholars Are some
times Puzzled by Proper
Names.

A public man In England who 10
much spoken about 50. years ago was
q Mr.. Fitz Gerald. His name seems
10 be a stumbling-block 10 many, says
an exchange. In Messrs. MacmillanA
half-Rulnea edition the name only oe-
ours on two pages and Is spelled ON
one with a lower case *" and on the
other with O capital. Mr. Heron-Alieu
makes a similar mistake, and both in
the British museum catalogue and
''rhe Dictionary Of National Blog-
raphy" the small "g" Is used. omar's
name Is also trouble. The authori-
tative manner OF spelling II adopted
by the museum is Umar Khaiyam, and
in the list Of translatiOns In their IL
brary II Is spelled in the following
seven different ways;
Omar Khaiynm.
Omar Khayyam.
Omar Alkhayyam.
Kheyam.
Omer Chejjam.
omer Chijam.
Omar Chatham.
Concerning Fitz Gerald himself a
well-known Englishman saysi "Ho
was a dear old gentleman, as think
everyone who knew him would tell
youi genial, certainly, though per.
hapa with o touch OF old-ladyllke
querulousness. knew him pretty
well during his last years, and walked
over 70 Woodbridge two or three times
20 dine with him-on an excellent
chicken, remember once, though he
was a vegetarian himself. He was
most Rmiable aud one evening read
me the Inn chapter (the eleventh, /
fancy) OF Guy Manhering'-reproaeh-
fully, as ] was OF my Scott al the
time. His talk was las people say,
no doubt rightly very Thackerayan,
and think Thackeray Influenced him
great deal, though he always stood
up for Dickens as against him. His
managsrn were those OF a dowager
ducheaa."

TAHLEQUAH ITEMS.
Batch of Notes
Clipped From Arrow.

Tom Shade was bound over by
Commissioner Reville yesterday
on a charge Of larceny of cattle on
two counts. Shade wac indicted
by the Cherokee circuit grand jury
several years ago for the murder
OF a young man on Fourteen mile
creek He secuted long time
and finally the Curtis bill was
ushered in aud Shade goes unpun-

VIII Clark was tried last night
Tor selling and introducing whisky.
Juige Reville promptly bound
him over to await the action Of the
DC ober grand jury for Tahlequah.
Clark not long since assaulted Bob
Thompson and John Losier on the
streets of the town because they
asked him for money they bad
given him for whisky which he
Jailed to deliver. Thompson's
jaw was fractured and Losier's
nose was broken by Clark. For
this little fun Clark was given
some time on the streets and the
balance in the calaboose.
On last Friday week, George
Parker, ("Bud,' - as he familiarly
called by his friends), the seven
teen , ear.old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
George G. Mcdaniel, complained
Of being i'll but no one thought by
the following Thursday that be
would be in the great beyond, and
it is with regret that we say he is
dead. Thursday at noon he was
better but at 5 o'clock he grew
worse and at 5:35 expired. The
deceased was just entering into
young manhood and all the world
seemed a brightness and he little
thought that in life he must pre-
pare for the end. Funeral ser.
vices were held at the family res.

thought such a sad end was so
near. Friday morning about six
O'Clock, when all nature in the
summer morn was at its zenith,
she resigned herself to her Maker,
wrapping the drapery of her couch
about her to forever enjoy pleas
ant dreams. She was a devout
member Of the Presbyterian church
and leaves several children and a
devoted husband to mourn her un-
timely death. The funeral SER
vices were held at the Presbyter-
ian church yesterday afternoon at
4:30 o'clock and large ooncourse

family in their deep afiliction.
According to a ruling of the
Dawes commission all adopted cit
liens Of the Cherokee nation who
present themselves for enrolment
must show certificate Of mar
riage from the Cherokee records
before they are recognized by the
commission. In several districts
the records have been either de-
stroyed by fire or misplaced. In
many instances there are no re-
cords to be found of prominent
marriages. In Tahlequah district
several years ago some Of the
clerks records were destroyed by
fire and consequently it will be
rather difficult for the adopted cit
liens who married in this district,
as we'll as in many other districts
to produce the evidence required
by the Dawes commission.
A gentleman who ranks promi.
nently with the fullbloods, who
has been in attendance at the ma.
tional convention this week, said
to the Arrow man Wednesday that
he was of the opinion that the
Keetoowahs would pass resolu
tions protesting against the work
Of enrolling by the Dawes com.
mission. He said that a majority
of the fullbloods were being lead
to believe that if they enrolled
with the commission they virtual
ly accepted the Curtis bill. The
convention is about over now but
no definite information as to what
the fullbloods really accomplished
has been made known.

The country. therefore, will not be calied

This being true it is also of moment to
observe that the majority of the new House

men of experience as well as OF ablllty.
The veterans have all been returned The
men whose flames are national and who in
many Congresses have by words and votes
