American gentlemen are the most
chivalrous in the world because of
their consideration for women, their
trust and respect.
Especially charming is their atti-
tude toward children. They make of
their wives and children companions,
and show them that devotion which ia
rare in other countries.
Il believe the age Of physical force
is dying out, Man will develop his
powers by cultivation Of all that Is
mortal. 1t is the purpose OF my lec-
lures to show how this will come
about. 1t is my aim to do so.
Unlike English women, American
women are placed on an equal footing
with their men. In England women
are accumtomed to the domination OF
their husbands.
There Is no more charming girl in
the world than the well-bred, edu-
Gated American girl Her indepenf
ence and self-respect command respect
at all times"

"The most damnable outrage which
has ever been perpetrated by any cit

Western Railroads Kick

Chicago, Jan 22-The Times Herald
this morning says:
Action by the executive committee of
the National Council g. A. II. deciding
to hold the next national encampment
in Cleveland instead of in Denver, is
likely to cause trouble in passenger
traffic. Roads of the Central Passen-'
ger Associations territory decided at n
meeting held In this city December 18th
to make rate OF l cent mile, but In
asmuch as the change decided on by
the G. A. Il. officials takes the place
of meeting out of the jurisdiction of
the Western Passenger Association,
which also made the same rate on the
presumption that the encampment
would be held In Denver, the western
roads have already cancelled their
rate. The lowest rate TINT will now be
made for the encampment from west
ern territory will be one fare plus 81
for the round trip. or even one fare and
third Inasmuch rs Cleveland was
chosen MS the meeting place because the
Business Mems League Of that city
has guaranteed one fare rate, the
Cleveland promoters have to face se-
rious problem in making good the diff
ference, because II is by no means GER
tain that a one-fare rate will be grant
ed. At any rate. the Business Mems
League will have to make good any
difference that may and probably will
occur on account Of the action Of ths

OF
CREEK INDIANS

Muscogee. i. T.. Jan. 23.-Washington
authorities have been requested to send
federal troops into the Creek country
to quell the uprising of full-bloods
known rs the Snake bands, who are
creating depredations west of Eufala,
and threatening the lives of both the
whites and the neutral Indians. The
Indians threatened to finally enter the
towns and burn and kill, and Chief
Mekko has sent message Of defiance
to President Mckinley. The whites
are arming and serious bloodshed is
feared.
United States Marshal Bennett sent
twenty deputies and ten Indian police
to the scene. but they were met by 80
fierce a fusilade that they were COM
pellcd to retire. One of the posse,
named McNac, was captured by the
Indians and it is feared they will take
his life. Marshal Bennett and Indian
Agent Shoenfelt sent message to
Washington, requesting that 500 fed
eral troops be sent them. They stated
that it would be sure death for the
deputies and police to attempt to inter-
fere again.
Marshal Bennett and Agent Shoen-
felt will, as soon as they hear from
Washington, join the troops. invade the
Indian camps and endeavor to put the
leaders under arrest.
Chief Porter is now in Washington
and has been wired the condition Of
things.

chief of the Snake bands, has submit
ted the following ultimatum to Presi-
dent Mckinley:
The Creeks threaten that after they
have cleaned out all the interior
whites they will visit the various towns
in the Creek nation. destroy them by
fire and kill the inhabitants. They have
threatened to kill Chief Pleasant Por-

HOW THE NEWS OF THE
QUEENS DEATH WAS RECEIVED

New York, Jan. o2-The first ap-
parent effect here of the cablegram
from England announcing the death of
Queen Victoria was in the almost in
stant lowering of flags all over the city
to half mast. This was particularly
true with regard to the financial dis
trict, where every business house or
building had Its bunting ready. Wall
street and Its adjacent thoroghfares
were soon giving silent information
that one of the worlds most notable
personages had passed away. Trinity
church, at the head of Wall street, took
note Of the event by the tolling Of its
bell. and possibly the first official in
the United States to take cognizance of
the passing of England's monarch,
was the sub-treasurer, who, rs soon rs
he received notice, lowered the flag
OF the suhtreasury building.
In 10 part of the city was respect
for the memory OF Queen Victoria more
quickly shown than in the waters Of
the port of New York. Steamers and
sailing vessels flying the British flag
were not alone In their manifestations
OF honor to the memory of the dead
queen. United States flags over ferry
houses, schooneis and tugs in the East
and North rivers. and lying at docks
over upon the Jersey shore, all brought
the emblem down and by this means
the news was conveyed to thousands
who were upon the lookout for the sig
nal.
The flags of Russia. Austria, Mexico,
Germany. Italy, and other nations.
were half masted at the various foreign
consulates and steamship offices.
All OF the British societies have gone
into mourning, and as early rs nm hour
after the announcement of the Queens
death had mourning bands upon their
sleeves.
Washington. Jan. 22.-The announce
ment Of the death of Queen Victoria,
conveyed unofiicially to the Senate,
was recognized by that body In the
adoption of an appropriate resolution.
