rights, or claims OF deceased Del

originally admitted to citizenship
in the Cherokee nation. The con
tention is that under the sgree-
msnt with the DeIawares In 1867
the Cherokees sold them 100 acres
OF land per head to be set aside for
them in the event Of allotment.
This was no doubt the intention
Of the agreement. but the Chero-
KEGS baked at the proposition to
consider these individual shares
as perpetual. Under the time

Among the five refugees who ar
rived in this country from South Afri-
ca the early part of the week, the first
Boer fighting men ever seen here, was
a youth of 16, G. G. Snyman, son of
one of the members of the party. This
youngster was the hero of Gen. De
Vets division during the war. He
was little more than Is years old when
hostilities began and his father, who
was sheep herder in the Orange Free
State, took him from school and placed
a rifle in his hands to fight the Eng
lish. He Joined the Boer forces I'M
der On. De Wet, being made member
of the general staff He fought in Is
regular battles and innumerable
skirmishes and never as much as re-
ceived a scratch. He has the honor
among his people Of having killed the
first British soldier in the Orange
Free State during the war. 1t is said
that no less than dozen of the queens
troops fell before his unerring rifle.
Young Snyman's heroism on the field
of battle attracted the attention Of
President Steyn of the Orange Free
State, who promised to reward the
young hero with farm if peace was
ever declared and the Beers got back
their property. He frequently adj

English customs are initiated to very
large extent-in fact, to be fashionable

far as furniture, meals and dress are
concerned, entirely la mode Anglaise
One of the most curious non-English
customs prevailing here is the use Of
the word "Mahlzcit," literally trans
lated "Mealtime." This expression il
always used after dinner. Every one
on rising says "mahlzeit," and shake,
hands with every one else. The or

finally shortened to blessed meal

classes. With them one hears it all
the day through, especially, however,
before and after lunch.

Despite all oppressive measures
taken by the government, socialism.
or, rather, the Socialistic party of Ger
many, gains constantly in strength. i
and even Brandenburg, which has been
affected least by the movement, has re-
turned to the Reichstag a Socialist for
the first time in its history. The re-
suit of the election has caused much
excitement in Germany. Peus, the
candidate, got majority of 64S votes
In 10 years the number of Socialist
members of the Reichstag has in
creased from 20 to IS, two members
having been added in by-elections,
since the general election in 1898.
In 1885 100000 Socialist votes were
recorded, and these increased 100000
in 1887, to 100000 in 1890, and in the
last general election to 2,25O,OO0. It
is estimated that the next general
election will give the Socialists 100 out
OF S97 votes in the Reichstag.

THE CARoLINES.
Queer Theories About the Formation OF
These Islands.

Germany's purchase of the Caroline
Islands from Spain had already drawn
public attention to this little-known
Pacific group, says Harper's Weekly,
when a suggestion was made TIC
America which is certainly entertain
ing though hardly to be entertained.
The king and headman of Kusaie, one
of the easternmost of the Carolines,
sent petition to congress represent
ing that as they had been in inter-
course with the American people for
forty-seven years-that is, with Amer
lean missionaries, traders and whalers
and had, both in this manner and
otherwise, acquired a knowledge of
our institutions, they wished to be an
nexed to the United States. 1t is as
sumed that the people who expressed
this amiable preference did not know
that they were about to be acquired
by Germany. The Caroline group in
cludes, besides coral islands, five
mountainous islands of basaltic for
nation, beautiful and fertile with riy-
ers and springs. To the north are the
Ladrone Islands, and to the west are
the Philippines. Among the many
queer legends of these children of the
Pacific there Is none more highly inn
probable than their theory as to the
origin of these islands and the inhab-
itants. They think they themselves
were very strong in the water-in fact,
they lived in it. The story goes that
a woman and her children were float
ing around on the reef, when a man
appeared from the west with basket
of soil on his shoulders He had
started out to make an island with a
mountain on it. One of the children
cried out to him, Give us a little soil
to make place for our mother to rest,
for she is very weak and cannot
swim" He took out handful of the
earth and threw it down, making an
island. AS the man was going on his
way over the water, the son slyly
made hole in the basket; so, as he
proceeded on his way, he left trail
of land behind. Suddenly he became
conscious that the basket seemed light,
and looking around, he saw the land.
In his anger he turned about and trod
upon it. and thus the islands were
formed.

The Meteoric Rise OF
Charles Nj. Hays

by railroads which needed men such
as the Wabash had found in it's hour
of need. Among these roads was the
Grand Trunk. The Grand Trunk peo-
pie sent to st. Louis for Mr. Hays.
They offered to give him salary of
900 a year If he would come, and
he made contract with them to serve
as general manager five years at this
salary.
The eyes of railroad men followed
Mr.. Hays to the Grand Trunk. His
genius for results likewise followed
him there. Within three years he had
become so valuable to the road that
it broke the conditions of its contract
with Mr.. Hays and increased his sal
airy to $35, 1000 year.
When Coils P. Huntington died the
Southern Pacific railroad was without
a president and the Office was offered
to Mr.. Hays, who accepted it.

BALL ON SNOW.

Two Ships crews RAD an Exciting Gano
In the Arctic hegions.
Baseball was introduced into the
arctic regions by the crew of the
schooner Tnallium, which, under com
mand of Captain Kent, arrived yester-
day from Ivigtut, Greenland, with "a
cargo of cryolite. 1t is safe to say
that the national pastime was never
before attempted in the face of such
difficulties.
The British bark Silicon was at that
lonely Greenland port with the Thai
lium, and also loading for Philadel-
phia. The temperature while the two
vessels were receiving their cargoes
bordered close on to 80 degrees below
zero. The sailors, not being called
upon to handle the curious mineral,
shivered around the galley fires and
1apidly became imbusd with the lassi-
tude which is almost invariably the
portion of those called upon to endure
extreme cold. Captain Jansen Of the
Silicon proposed-more in jest than
in earnsst-that the men play ball.
The idea impressed them and they de-
termined to brave the temperature and
essay the sport with which all OF them
were tolerably familiar. A level plain
was found near Ivigtut, with a floor
ing of powdered snow, frozen to the
consistency of adamant. Under the
midnight sun, and with wondering
audience of fur-clad Eskimo, home
runs and three-baggers were knocked
out. 1t was necessary for all the play
ers to bundle themselves up in true
arctic fashion. All hands wore gloves
so that wild throws and errors galore
were many. Boatswain Brown of the
Thallium tied the score in the fourth
inning by coming home from second

gal would be center. His towardness
or valor ought to be guaranteed by his
202 pounds. Ferdinand of Bulgaria,
lit pounds. and Oscar of Sweden, one
pound less. seem fitted for guards.
Kaiser Wilhelm's 160 pounds would
give him momentum and force as a
tackle. The car would scarcely make
the team except as quarterback. for
he weighs only 121 pounds. The little
King of Spain, 81 pounds. is out of
the question, save to hold the sweater

choice OF position. If monarchy could
tolerate the presence OF president OF
