/ Series of Ovaers That Rejuvenated
the AiItnE Slaves.
. A correspondent sends the following
Etory Of an old Virginia gentleman:
Some years before the war a gentle
man Of large landed interests counted
among his possessions plantation on
the James river, an estate Of consider
able dimensions. Other interests kept
him away from the old place for some
years, during Which time there was a
marked decrease in the revenue. Upon
his return to the plantation he discov-
cred that many of the slaves were laid
up with rheumatism and other miser-
les, the farming implements were in
bad order and the old homestead was
fast going to rack and ruin. Calling
his overseer he said:
anderson. notice great many old
wagons, plows and harrows about
the place. Have them brought and
piled in front Of the house, and on
Monday next order all the niggers on
the place to be present"
At the appointed time they came.
The pile was set on fire and the imple-
ments destroyed. The following week
he called the overseer's attention to the
sick and intirm horses, hogs and cattle
and gave the same order. When the
negroes had assembled all the animals
were knocked in the head. The Fri
day following the landlord again called
his overseer.
Anderson, I see a great many sick
niggers around here-many who seen
to be laid UP with rheumatism and are
good for fiothing. Give orders that or
Monday morning at 10 o'clock they al
appear in the front yard
The effect on the slaves was magical
On Saturday men who had been un
able to walk were skipping around lilz'
children; the sick grew we'll suddenly
and from that time q the plantation
was most osperous.-Exchange

RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.
What Henry Clews, the Eminent
Banker, Says of the Effect Of
Railroad Consolidation.
Believes it Will Continue Until Roads
in All Territory Have Reached
an Agreement.
Continued Effect of the Furry il
Northern Pacific on the Stock
Market Prices.

New York, Oct. 2S.-Henry Clews'
weekly review of Trade says: 1T
is quite apparent now that the spec
tacular demonstrations in Northern
Pacific last summer had probably
more to do with recent declines than
the corn crop failure, President Nc
Kinley's death, OF fears of stringent
money. 1t follows then that the
market is still largely Influenced by
this transaction and that any solution
OF the present tangle will afford a very
decided relief and stimulate renewed
manipulation for higher prices. The
| indications are that as soon as this
question is settled the movement
towards Capitalization of railroad
management will receive fresh i'm
petus and the effect of this upon val
ues it is too early to determine There
is no gainsaying the advantages Of
this movement so far; not merely to
the owners of securities but to ship
pers and passengers alike who receive
the benefits of uniform rates and bet
ter and quicker service. So long as
rates are not pushed too high it seems
likely that the railroads will not meet
with any severe public criticism. One
step in consolidation forces another
and the movement is not likely tC
cease until all the large systems have
control of the territory they are best
fitted to serve. While negotiations
of such vastness and intricacy are un-
der, way we may expect all sorts Of
rumors, favorable and unfavorable
and when completed these plans will
undoubtedly add to the stability ant
value of good railroad properties; bu
in the interim we may experience
: wide fluctuations and more or less
friction as rival interests play for po
sition. This may tend to increased
activity in the market and renewed
speculation. 1t is well known tha
big men are carrying large amounts
of stocks which they are unwilling te
part with at present prices and thei1
Interests lie in the direction of highel
prices. The money market is almos
past the danger line as in a few weeks
funds withdrawn for crop purposes
will begin to return. The situation
abroad is unfavorable and the pros
meet of gold jmnnrts is co,7oar,hot ro
mote; but the United States is il

A QUESTION OF TEETH.

Did the Iraptprtaz George Wear Ar~
filcinI or Natural Oness &%.f,ss
George Washington's false teeth
which were supposed to have been
made of ivory, are giving a certain
class Of freak historians about as much
trouble as they must have given the
venerable patriot who wore them,'
said one of the professors Of the
Smithsonian institution to a reporter
recently, .,.,f I. %sa.%
''Many times a year for several years
this institution has been called upon to
produce these mysterious teeth for the
inspection of persons who insist that
they are here. .''
"Our matter of fact answer to these
inquiries that, Washington had no false
teeth, or at least if he did, that they
are not in the possession Of the mu.
scum, seems only to stimulate the in-
quiring mind to protest our statement.
! They proceed to give us authentic ac-
counts Of these teeth and always con-
| clude with expressing the belief tnar
| they must be in the museum some
where.
"Where or how the idea that Wash
! ington had false teeth originated is an
unsolved mystery. That it is firmly be-
lieved by many is certainly fact.
There seems to be no authentic record
of the Father of His Country possess
ing ivory teeth, and by study of the
bust we have Of him, which was made
but few years before his death, there
is no indication of an indentation along
the line of the gums such as can be
noticed in persons who have had theil
teeth drawn, even though they veal
artificial ones. However, we will con
tinue to answer the same question II
the same way probably many times II
the future"
, According to some biographer
Washington lost his teeth during hi
service as commander in chief of tn
Continental army and had a set o
ivory ones made. These teeth, it i
also stated, gave him much trouble be
: cause they did not fit.-Washingtol

FOOD OF AMERICANS.
Am English Woman Tells of the
Strange Things She Ate Here.

Am English Woman Tells of the
Strange Things She Ate Here.
An English woman who visited Amer
lea a short time ago has been telling
her country women about the strange
food across the water" OF course she
discovered green corn, but she had been
prepared for that Oyster crabs were
quite new to her.
"They look like Boston baked BEANS"
she explains, ''but they taste much bet
ter''
An oyster cocktail filled her with awe
and enthusiasm, She tried it at Del
monico's and thought it was soup. OF
course in England one didn't serve
soup in a glass; but, then. neither did
the English serve boiled eggs in a
glass. One could never be sure Of
Americans.
OF canvasback duck she has poor
opinion, but thinks she might like it
better if Americans would have it cook
ed or even warmed. AS for terrapin,
she sings it's praise. She found it much
like calf's head, and she always liked
calf's head. Shades Of Maryland gour-
NETS, what a slur is there!
"All the puddings in America are pie
or ice cream" she says, but it must be
understood that pie does not mean
game pie. The Yankee pie is tart
and is ubiquitous, she explains.
She sat next to an American man
who ate lump Of cheese with his
strawberry pie and turned plateful of
ice cream over both, but she doesn't
know that that is a general custom.
The oysters were good. but had most
! impossible names, and the cookies
1 (meaning clams) are excellent. On the
/ whole. Yankee food and cooking are
4 good but there is too much of the food
on the table at one time.--New York

INDIAN LANDS
MAJOR MLAUGHLIN TREATING
FOR THE CESSION OF 100000


ACRES.
Devils Lake, N. D., Oct. 2S.-Major
Mclaughlin, inspector for the interior
department, has arrived and will pro-
ceed to Fort Toitten at once to nego-
tiate with the Indians for the cession
of their unallotted lands. Hereto
fore these negotiations have been
made by commissioners appointed by
a special act of congress, but last win
ter Senator Hansbrough secured the
adoption of a provision authorizing
the secretary of the interior to do the
work through an Indian inspector.
It is believed the Indians will agree
to cede their surplus land at reason
able price, as congress would not be
likely to ratify the agreement if the
valuation is considered too high.
There are some $4,000 acres of surplus
lands on their reservation.
Senator Hansbrough says there is
no longer any question in govern
mental ciriles that the best policy is
to put white settlers among or near
the Indians, that the latter may learn
modern methods of farming.
If congress rati6es the agreement
the lands will doubtless be open next
'spring and there will be a great rush.
| The commuter will probably be re-
quired to pay the government the
price the latter agrees to pay the In
| dians, but even then the government
| will be the loser, as there is necessary
lily much land which will not be filed
upon. Herein lies a danger that con-
gress may reject the proposition, and
intending settlers from other states
should write their respective congress
men on the subject, as it is matter
which goes first before the house OF
/ Representatives. s n h &$z3s:ss y +. 4
Major Mclaughlin was on his way

HANSBROUGH'S VIEWS
SENATOR HANSBROUGH'S AN
SWER TO HIS CRITICS, UPON
THE QUESTION OF TARIFF ANE
RECIPROCITY

. w Eh ~ HIS GEtlllCS, UfON
THE QUESTION OF TARIFF AND
RECIPROCITY.
Devils Lake lnter-Ocean: Were it
not for half dozen reasons the Inter
Ocean would feel inclined to apologize
to the ST. Paul Dispatch the Grand
Forks Herald and the Bismarck Tri-
bune for having said last week that
tariff revision should not be attempted
through reciprocity treaties; that this
country would enter into reciprocal
agreements with other countries
whenever it could be done to the mu-
tual advantage of both and without
injury to any domestic industry; and
that tariff revision, to be consItitu
tional, must be initiated by bill in the
house of representatives and not by
treaties in the senate.
Now why should the eminent jour-
mails above mentioned be so seriously
disturbed over the tariff question?
Is not the Dingley law doing the pre-
else work which these papers in 1896
and subsequent campaigns promised
it would do? The Blaine reciprocity
spoken of by the Dispatch is in vogue
now. and the republican party will see
to it that it remains operative and
that it be enlarged upon whenever
| I71r n 1,nr i~
ence between the kind of reciprocity
that Mr.. Blaine favored and the kind
that is proposed in the treaties which
have been before the senate during the
past two years. Mr. Mckinley did noF
favor these treaties as a whole; an(
the brand of reciprocity advocated BY
him in his famous Buffalo speech was
that Identical brand advocated by tht
Inter-Ocean last week, towit: Tha
which would be mutually beneficial
without impairing domestic industry
What the Inter-Ocean would par
ticularly impress upon it's readers /!
that tariff agitation at this time is un
necessary; indeed it is fraught will
harm. Why seek to tear down tn,
temple so recently and SO we'll con
str'ucted? Is not the country pros
porous beyond all expectation? Ar,
not our exports greater than ever be

Germany and France may threaten tt

wines and silks and sugars at lowe,
rate of duty; it is not the first tim,
they have threatened us with CONNER
cial war And yet we have gone OF
doing business under our own polio,
of protection and reciprocity and the.
have continued to buy Of us.
1t was not the free trade demand
of Great Britain that brought us to
most destructive tariff policy after th
election Of 1892, but the unwise an,
illogical agitation in certain circle
in our own country. We have nov
thoroughly learned to distrust tn
Greeks who come as the bearers Q

Paying q Creditor.

Like many another famous man both
before his time and since, Talleyrand
exhibited, at least in early life, great
reluctance to settling with his credit
ors. When be was appointed bishop Of
Autun by Louis XVI, he considered
fine new coach to be necessary to the
proper maintenance of the dignity OF
that office. Accordingly coach was
ordered and delivered. but not paid for.
Some time after as the newly appoint
ed bishop was about to enter his coach,
he noticed strange man standing near
who bowed continually until the coach
was driven away. This occurred for
several days until at length Talley-
rand, addressing the stranger, said:
"Well, my good man, who are your

replied the stranger.
"Ah," said Taueyrand, you are my

my coachmaker?'

"Ah. you are my coachmaker, aud

himself comfortably among the cush-
ions of his new coach and eying his

The floor looks like the deck of a
steamer, being highly polished. The
roof is one-quarter pitched, and is of
heavy slate, supported by substantial
posts. The garden is surrounded by
balustrade three and one-half feet
high, finished with deliberately carved
brackets at the four corners. Inside
are shutters, removable If desired, to
use in the event of severe storms or
unexpected cold spells. The auditor
lium has movable platform extending
across the room, nearest the highest
tower of the church. Three stairways
lead to the garden, one from each tur-
ret; the little enclosures formed by
these towers are utilized as cloak
rooms. The ladies of the parish have
rendered the garden still more attrac-
tive by potted plants and vines. Ivy,
planted in four corners, will be trained
so as to cover the entire church, with
the exception of the sides of the gar

prospeets Are Not Bright for the
future of That Country.
An army friend Of mine just home
from Cuba. writes a correspondent
says that Americans are not very pop
ular at present with the natives, VINO
resent their presence and chafe at nav
ing to obey the laws enforced by tne
Americans. In fact, he had frequent
ly of late heard Cubans state In clubs
and cafes that If they had to choose
between the two races, the American
or the Spanish, as to which should ex-
ercise control over their destinies, they
would unhesitatingly choose the RUE
of Spain. The Cubans, in spite OF all
that has occurred, look upon Spain as
the mother country; they speak the
same language, and being OF the same
blood. think that their characters, aims
and ambitions are therefore better I'M
derstood by the Spaniards than by the
Americans. Among other things that
have tended to make our control I'M
popular in the island my friend
thought a large part was due to GER
tain orders that had been promulgated
by those in authority. Stopping bull
fighting greatly angered the Cubans.
But it was another order that most in
fluenced them. 1t gems it is the GUS
tom there for the men to go about clad
in elbow sleeyed undershirts of the
gaudiest description. Considering this
indecent, those in authority in certain
provinces decreed that all males must
wear a shirt. If ever silly order was
put forth that was it. The natives
are now looking eagerly forward to the
time when we shall depart and leave
them to their own devices. My friend
does not consider the Cubans as being
capable of self-goyernment or of any
thing approaching it, and looks for all
sorts of trouble to follow after they
start in to govern themselves. He
says that all the materials for scrap
exist there, and once our restraining
hand is removed. all sorts of compli-
cations will be likely to ensue. Emil
grants will not go to Cuba so long as
such uncertainty as to its future ex-
lists, and even could you remove that
uncertainty he thinks that the future
outlook for many reasons would be
by no means clear
