Chairman BHllnosley issues a Letter
Containing Suggestions.
Chairman Chas. T. Bnlingsley Of
the Mckinley memorial auxiliary com
mittee. has issued a circular letter in
which he offers some valuable sugges-
tions towards the raising of funds and
outlining the scope cf the committee.
The letter IN part reads as follows:
"This committee viii have supervis-
ion of the work throughout the terri
tory and will appoint local commit
tees who. in turn. will select a chair
man. who win choose such commit
tees in their respective cities, towns
and counties as they deem expedient.
Each local committee should act IN
der authority Of, and report to the
Territorial Auxiliary committee.
"The territorial office will be in
charge Of a secretary who wiz be
elected from this committee, who win
give the necessary time and conduct
the correspondence and supervise the
work. The expense incident thereto,
unless otherwise provided for, should
be deducted from the aggregate sum
collected.
1T will doubtless be of advantage
If said auxiliary committee should sug-
gest methods to the local committees.
our secretary should have an intimate
interest in each local committee and
render what assistance he can tc Sc
cure practical results.
'The Territorial Auxiliary commit
tee will issue a statement to the peo-
pie outlining the purpose of the Nc
Kinley National Memorial association.
After an intelligent organization is
perfected hope that the newspapers
throughout the territory of Oklahoma
can be relied upon to interest the peo-
Pile. Personal letters from the various
local committees acting under the
supervision of the auxiliary commit
tee to friends throughout the territory
VIII have an excellent effect.
/ 1T is the purpose in calling this
meeting to carefully and comprehen-
sively consjier anticipated results
and how they can be obtained without
the labor OF personal canvassing. The
public, parochal and other schools
and colleges should be given special
attention. 1t is desired that there be
numerically large Offering not alone
from the mena nd women, but from
the children, the boys and girls and
the young men and women in tho
schools and colleges.
The Territorial Auxiliary commit
tee begs leave to suggest that the clti
zens committees should designate
banks as repositories for subscrip-
tions. To these will be given one of
the public notice cards Contributions
Received Here. issued by the trustees
of the Mckinley National Memorial
association through the territorial
auxiliary committee. In the smaller
towns and in county districts central
committees. with subordinate smaller
ones, should be able to reach the peo-
/ pie as it seems best to those in charge.
IF it meets with the approval of the
auxiliary committee to approve the
appointment OF Thanksgiving day as
proper time 10 receive the offerings
OF the people by making proper use of
such an occasion, a movement may be
started among the people, and especi-
ally the children, to make their OFFER
ings to the Mckinley memorial fund"

DECISION IN GREER
COUNTY CASE EXPECTED
Hitchcock Preparing Opin-
ion in TexaS=OkIahOma
Dispute

The dispute between the fede.-f
pov ramont and the state Of Texas
over the settlement Of claim Of the
conference.-the against the United
states. amounting TO several million
dollars. tor public improvements in
Greer county, now Z portion Of Okla
homa territory. when it was a portion
of the state OF Texas. will be adjusted
soon. It IS probable that definite
decision will be reached before the
end Of the present year.
The territory embraced in Greer
county included large portion Of the
present territory Of Oklahoma. The
disputed ownership of this territory
was not definitely settled until March
10, 1896, when the supreme court Of
the United States handed down an
opinion holding that Greer county did
not belong to Texas, but was a por-
ton OF the territory Of the United
States prior to and at the time Of the
acquisition OF Texas. Greer county
was created county 1860 and or
ganized IN 1886, under the Laws OF the
state Of Texas. II continued as such
with all the rights, duties. powers and
privileges OF an organized county un-
I'll the decree OF the supreme court in
1896. During all of this time, how
ever. the state was collecting taxes
IRON the people Of Greer county, and
it is claimed by the United States Of
ficlals that the revenues thus collect
ed more than edualed the expendit-
ures made within the county.
An effort was made to have the Uni
ted Statee supreme court consider the
question of damages sustained by the
state in money expended for public
improvements in Greer county and to
grant a judgment against the Unietd
States for the amount thus found due
whon the question of ownership was
before the court for decision, but the
court refused the application on the
ground that 1t had no jurisdiction OF
this question.
An act of January Is. 1901. directed
the secretary of the interior to ascer-
tain what lands. If any, the state of
Texas patented to Greer county for
school purposes; IN whom the title to
the lands is now vested; whether the
lands were aljenated by Greer county,
and II so, the price paid therefor;
what disposition was made OF the
funds received; the present market
value Of the 1ands. and finally. TO as
certain the sum s'-Nc' ~ the sale
OF any public lands, sod 81 uisposca
of, in Greer county by tae state Of
Texas. and the present value of such
lands
The secretary was also directed to
inquire and ascertain the total taxes
collected by the state of Texas for
any and all purposes from Inhabitants
OF Greer county, or upon lands or 9th
er property located therein, from 1860

UMBRELLAS IN THE SLOT.
Careless Owners Drop Their Tips in Street Car Cracks and Many
 Are Ruined.

stWhen I say that one-half the um- brellas and canes that have to go to the ash heap or the umbrella hospital meet their fate in the slots of the car tracks I am not putting the percent age bit too high," said the motor man, according to the New York Sun. ''It is surprising how careless people are in this respect.
 Many times day do see them go stumping across the tracks, either trailing umbrellas along after them or jabbing them down against the pave ment, where the points are sure to stick if there is a crevice big enough to hold them The electric slots being more capacious than any other rifts in the streets, they naturally bite off more umbrella tips.
 Many an accident that is averted by the traditional hairs breadth is due save his precious stick or umbrella. It matters not how close the car may be upon him, he takes chances on his life and stops long enough to give a final wrench to his endangered property.
 Sometimes he saves it, but more often it snaps asunder and is either ruined irreparably or is laid up for re- pairs. If I was running this town I think I should put up signs at inter- vals of every 100, feet bidding people Beware of the slot.' The public might not profit by the warning, but I'd make the experiment, anyway"

Baldwin Sails for the Pole.

The ships of the Baldwin-Zeigler arctic expedition weighed anchor at Tromsoe, Norway, the other night about midnight and, with the stars and stripes and Norwegian flags at their masts, steamed off to the north As they left the harbor the crews of the other vessels in the harbor gave the expedition a part ing cheer Evelyn B. Baldwin, chief of the expedition, was in excellent spirits. His last words were that he had little doubt of reaching the north pole. The America will pro- ceed first to Archangel, in Russia, and then return to the Island of Var doe, of the coast of Norway, whence the final departure for Franz Josef Land will be made. Touching at Houningsvaag, the America and the Belgica will pick up the Frithjof. and all three vessels will proceed northward together.

TO USE WIRELESS TELEGRAPH
Attempt to Establish Station on Pu- get Sound to Report Incoming
 VeSaeIa

Experiments with wireless teleg- raphy for reporting incoming ships will soon be made between Tatoosh island and Neah bay, at the entrance to Puget sound. At one time the gov ernment maintained a station for re- porting and observation on the is- land, but the cable to Neah bay broke several years ago, and since then ves- sels have been reported from Neah bay. The government now proposes to reestablish the Tatoosh island sta- tion and to reopen telegraphic com munication with the mainland. If the experiment. with wireless teleg- raphy fails, cable will be laid be- tween the island and Neah bay. Ow- ing to currents and rocks between the island and the mainland, the life of Q cable off Cape F1attery is very short, so the government will do its best to make wireless telegraphy a success in order to save the cost of expensive cables. 4 reserve has been set aside at Tatoosh island, and plans and specifications have been made for station to cost s5,OO0. It is ex- pected that bids will be called for at Washington within a month.

wear. a Fortune in pearI.

This may be said to have been a season of pearls at London. Really, there have been some magnificent gems seen. Among the most noted are those of Mrs. Claud Wattney, which she was seen wearing at Princes restaurant the other night. It was stated then that she. had at least 100000 worth. She generally wears them in groups around her neck. Her pearls are thought by some people to be even finer than Mrs. Pot ter Falmer's. As the latter lady is now over here, society people may have chance of comparing them. It is, of course, known how world famous the Potter Palmer pearls are.

whipping his horse, and at every jump there was pistol shot from the pur- suers. The chase occurred about mid night, and the few men on the streets were commanded by the sheriff to join in the race.
 The chatter of the running horses, fhe shouts of the men and the firing of pistols awoke the people in the houses along the way. When the sup posed thief reached a livery barn he turned the horse in, jumped from the buggy and hid in pile of straw. The sheriff and a crowd of excited follow CTS poured into the barn and began to search for the supposed thief. Mean while the owner of the barn appeared and identified the supposed stolen outfit as his own, which he had hired to Forest Edwards, the young profes- sor of Birmingham, Ala, 1llege.
 Edwards had driven the horse to the country to call on young wom- an. From his hiding place in the straw the professor overheard the explanation and ventured into view. He was so fright ened he 'could hardly speak. He thought robbers were chasing him through the streets. Two bullets struck the buggy, and the professor had close call for his life. The off,. cers claim they shot into the air, but the bullets in the buggy tell differ ent story

trolley lines and has attended lectures whenever his business would permit.
 One morning not long ago, as his car was bowling along the street at a pret- ty fast rate of speed, little child who was playing on one of the pavements, started for the other side of the street, apparently without seeing the on-rushing car.
 Stephanove changed his bell with all his might and the child, instead of needing it as a warning, gave one frightened look at the car and stood stock still in the middle of the track, paralyzed with fear
 Immediately Stephanove applied the brakes with all their force. The car jolted and bumped and slowed down, but the motorman and the horrifiel spectators saw that it could not be stopped before it reached the child.
 But Stephanove did not lose his head for an instant.
 Letting go of the brake and the mo- tor, he leaned far over the front of the car and just in the nick of time caught the frightened little form in his arms and lifting it from the ground held it there until the car stopped.
 There was loud shout of relief from the spectators, and Stephanove has been hero ever since.
 He takes his honors modestly.
 To him it does not seem remarkable that he should work like day laborer for seven years in order to obtain the education of gentleman.

prise to his friends in the church, as it had been expected in ecclesias tica1 circles that Rome would take such ac- tion.
 Rev. P. J. Muldoon has been prom inently before the Catholic public for the last ten years. Born at Colum- bia, Cal, in 1863, his elementary edu- cation was received in the schools of that town. At the age of IA years he was batriculated at the collegiate school of St. Mary's, Louisville. Graduating from that institution, he pursued his studies for the priest hood at St. Mary's seminary, Balti- more. He completed his course when 23 years old and was ordained and ad- mitted to the priesthood
 His first assignment was as assist ant to Father Henneberry, the pastor of St. Plus church, Chicago. There the young clergyman began to assert himself and make his activity felt, first in the affairs of the parish and then of the archdiocese.
 His ability as director was recog- nized early and he was appointed chancellor of the archdiocese of Chi cago. During the worlds fair he att tracted much attention as secretary of the Catholic exhibition, which re- ceived such favorable recognition. In 1895 he resigned the chancelorship to become the pastor of St. Charles Borromeo church, Twelfth and Cy- press streets.

CARNEGIE IS A MARK.
Asked to Pay a Debt Contracted by His Mother 5s Years Ago..
Nephew of Scotch Woman Who Lent 1he Family Money to Emigrate With Asks Reinforcement at
 Compound Interest.

Andrew Carnegie's dollar-scattering campaign in Great>Britain has devel- oped the alleged existence of a TO- mantle debt the iron philanthropist's family left behind when it emigrated to the American land of plenty 53 years ago.
 Henry D. Lennox, resident of Glas- gow, asserts that his aunt loaned MT. Carnegie's mother II shillings ($2.75) to help defray the family's ocean pas sage, receiving the promise of repay ment when fortune should smile on the Carnegies.
 Mir. Lennox calculates that at the rate of five per cent. compound inter- est the little obligation now amounts to $44. He suggests that if Mr. Carne- gie can spare the change he might be disposed to remember his old friends. 4r- Lennox says:
 When the Carnegies left Dunferm- line they were so poor that the mother had to borrow money to take them to the United States My aunt, though a poor woman herself, helped them out to the extent of II shillings, but the promise to return the loan evidently escaped the memory of the benefi- ciaries, because they never repaid the sum borrowed
 My aunt is dead. but she left two daughters, one of whom is the wife of humble joiner in Dunfermline, while the other is maiden lady engaged in a small drapery business in Edinburgh. Don't you think that if MT. Carnegie knew this he would be willing to do handsomely by his mothers friends?"
 Meavy Wellington Wack, general manager of a company whose services as a collection agency Mir. Lennox has enlisted, informed the Chicago Record Herald correspondent the other night that the matter has been seriously in- vestigated by MT. Carnegie during his present visit to his highland castle of Skbo, and that he has decided to settle a very comfortable endowment on the heirs of the family of his benefactress.

WHAT WOMEN LIKE IN MEN.
Chief Graces Are to He Attentive and Appear We'll When i'm
 Society.

The casual everyday accomplish ments of man have much to do with women's liking; and first of all comes savior faire, says writer in the Cosmopolitan. He may or may not be what is rather vulgarly de- scribed as "a society man," yet he must understand and be familiar with the myriad little usages that form society's unwritten law. To be at ease in any set, to be equal to emergencies, to carry off an awkward situation with urbanity and perfect f-possession-this faculty wins un- stinted admiration from a woman. And then there are the things that go with this knowledge of the prop CT thing to do, the little courtesies, the delicate and tactful attentions that mean anything and nothing, the ability to order dinner properly, to make things go off smoothly, to car " out plan without a blunder or 8 jar, the carriage ready at the proper moment, the flowers specially ar- ranged, the right seats at the the ater, everything foreseen, every pos sible occurrence provided for, every want anticipated, every contretemps avoided 3a 9 si Iab3
 These are all unimportant in them selves, yet in the mass they never fail to create strong impression in woman; for a woman hates blunders and will trust a man in great things if she sees that he has genius for making small things go off we'll

Col. Stowe points out that the consul of Spain there gets $1, 200 more than the salary of the American consul gen. eral, the Dutch consul $2 ,00O more, the French, S4,50O more, and the German, $7,00O more, and this in the face of the fact that American trade interests in Cape Colony are more extensive and important than those of any other country. In addition to their salaries, some foreign consular officers at Cape Town are furnished with residences, rent free, while the American consul general pays his own rent.
 Col. Stowe remarks that it cost him nearly a years salary, travelling ex- penses not being allowed to the United States consular officers, to bring his family of three from the United States to Cape Town and back to the United States. When he came home recent ly on leave of absence he was obliged to. leave his family here, because it cost too much to take them back.
 Col. Stowe's legal residence is Kan sas City, Mo. He has been consul gem eral at Cape Town since January 10, 1898.
