INDIANS GETTING CIVILIZED.
The Tuscnroras Are Giving Up Their Customs and Looking ForwarF
 to Citizenship.

1t is many years since the Tuscarora indians have held "cond dolence," ceremony which to the red men is similar to the inauguration of presi- lent by the whites, says. a Niagara Falls corresp spondent of the Chicago inter Ocean. In explanation of this m old chief says that the Indians no onger look upon the ceremony of 'condolence" with the reverence of old The Tuscaroras are the adopted .hiIdren of the Six Nations, and they say that the Onondagas, the fireke6p- ITS of the nation. practically have dis qualified themselves for this honor able position, and that the Tuscaroras 10 longer look up to them as children gre won't to do to a parent for advice snd help.
 From these feelings between the adopted children and the leading tribe ,f the Six Nations, it is evident that .he Indians are clinging closer to civ lization and the white mans customs, md that a chasm is opening between ;hs Indian tribes of the state. As a re- nit of this severance of tribal rela- ions the Indians of western New York re looking forward to citizenship.

LAST KENTUCKY DUEL.
Recalled by the Recent Death of One of the Participants In the
 sARair of Honor"

The death of Capt. Jo. Desha at Gym thiana a few days ago recalls duel which was fought in Scott county soon after the close of the civil war-a cold day in March, 1S66-in which Capt. Desha and Lieut. Kimbrough, of Gym thiana, were the participants, reports the LeadvilIe Herald-Democrat. Capt. Desha had served in the confederate army and Lieut.. Marlborough was in the federal service The duel was fought on the line dividing Fayette and Scott counties, on the James K. Duke farm. Lieut.. Kimbrough was the challenging party. Two shots were exchanged. At the second shot Kimbrough was shot through the upper part of the thigh, the ball passing through the body. He recovered from the wound, but always limped afterward. He died few years ago in Texas. At the time of the duel Capt. Desha's left arm was useless in consequence of a serious wound received during the war.
 Desha and Kimbrough were neigh bor boys and schoolmates, and the trouble began between them when at school. It was renewed after the war, the duel resulting. Maj. Harvey Me- Dowell, of Cynthiana, was Desha's second, and Maj. Long acted for Kim brough. Dr. Benedict Keene, then a priminent physician of Georgetown, was surgeon to the latter. The duel was witnessed by Warren Smith and George W. Downing, of Georgetown. This was probably the last duel ever fought in Kentucky.

 The present stringency in the New York money market is certain to have its effect in the increased pressure which will be brought to bear on con- gress to pass the Fowler currency bill during the short session. For all the repeated assertions of the republicans that all the friends of silver are to be found in the democratic ranks, it was deemed inadvisable to pass this meas ure before the fall elections, but when the elections are over there will be no occasion to, put the same restraint on tne friends of the bankers and it Is predicted that the bill will go through with rush The attitude of Secretary Shaw, notwithstanding the fact that he has already increased slightly the government deposits in the New York banks, is highly offensive to the bank CTS and to the Wall street contingent. They have never before been told by 8 republican secretary of the treasury to help themselves and they are not slow to express their displeasure

characterized the actions of the war department in connection with tne pur- chase of army transports in the early days of the Spanish American war. Investigation reveals the fact that the war department purchased the vessels named at most extravagant figures. The Grant cost the government ooO, 900, the Relief $45O,O0O, the Hancock $600,000 and the Lawton $500000. Af- ter their purchase, an amount closely ed for fitting them out as transports. A comparatively short time ago, the war department advertised extensively for bids on the no longer needed trans ports and finally received a number. It was then stated that the bids were so low that none would be accepted but their actual amount was withheld on the ground that to publish it would be to depreciate the value of govern. ment property It now transpires that the total amount offered for the four vessels, which had cost the government S3,2lUo00 was less than $200,OOO. As these figures would have called atten- tlon anew to the extravagance of the department officials, it was determined to suppress the bids and the secretary of the navy was persuaded to say that he would take the vessels, provided congress would authorize the transfer.
 
 The incident recalls the case of the Merrimac, which Admiral Sampson so accommodatingly sank in the entrance to Santiago harbor The venerable collier had cost the government $400,- 60 at the beginning of the war and was hardly sea-worthy when sunk. She was not worth the cost of repairs necessary to make her useful in any capacity and when the news came that she had been sunk in Santiago harbor, it lifted a considerable weight from the minds of the officials in Washington, who dreaded the publication of the facts. If congress complies with the wishes of Secretary Root it will ap- propriate the sum of $3,210,000 for the purchase of the transports above named by the navy department, from the war department, and thus the achives of the war department will show that the ships were sold for what they had cost.

Carnme enl for Geese

The increased importation in France of American cornmeal is due chiefly to its use for fattening geese.
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-09-16

A statement was recently made at
 the war department to the representa- tive of the press, to the effect that the navy department desired the army transports, Grant, Hancock, Relief and
 Lawton; that the Lawton, having been
 purchased from an emergency fund ap-
 propriated by congress for the use of
 either the navy or the war depart
 ments. would be turned over, and that
 congress would be asked, practically
 as matter of formality, to enact q
 measure authorizing the transfer of the
 other three vessels It was given out
 that the war department had no fur
 ther use for these transports but that
 the secretary of the navy could use them as receiving ships, etc, to ad- vantage On the face of it there was nothing surprising in the statement and several editors, without looking into the subject, have stated that it was the duty of congress to pass the desired bill A little investigation, however, would have revealed in this simple plan an effort to hide from the public [ new evidence of the fearful extrava- j gance, to express it mildly, which

Great things are predicted as the re- suit of the conference of republican senators at the home of the president Oyster Bay.

Laundry convenience.

A great convenience in any laundry, but a necessity where there are small children in family. is a little cupboard that can be locked or high shelf. Here carefully labeled should be kept the preparations for the removal of obstinate stains-diIute citric acid for iron rust or mildew, oxalic acid for ink, fruit and wine, and ammonia for fan nels and dish towels. Soap should be bought in quantity and spread out to dry, as it will go much further than when used fresh. Here, too, can be kept the bluing-the ultra-marine, for the more brilliant Persian blue is apt to contain iron in solution which rusts the clothes.-Wash Star.

He said the executive board of the three
anthracite districts will hold a session in

ing the policy TO be pursued in the field will
be determined. The operators have agreed
to meet any representatives of the miners,
a concession they ave never before made.
They always held out for a conference with
their direct employees and no one else. AT
the meeting of the executive board the wish
of the miners will be expressed and II may
be the policy to be carried out. If the
miners of the anthracite field are of the
same opinion as expressed at the national
convention held in this city last January
they will strike unless the operators make
some concessions regarding a wage scale.
Should this policy be decided upon II will
mean another session of the national eX-

NEWS OF THE THEATERs.
Mrs. Fiske and Mrs. Campbell.

The most interesting theatrical news in
New York is that Harrison Grey F1ske will
be Mrs. Patrick CampbelIs manager in
this country next season. The report is
that Mrs. Campbell. Mrs. Fiske and Her
bert Kelsey and Efhe Shannon are TO d.
the time at the Manhattan Theater
next winter.
Mrs. Fiske has been unfortunate in her
plays recently. Neither Miranda of the
Balcony nor The Unwelcome Mrs.
Hatch" is worthy of her effort. The an
nouncement OF her plan for next season
must depress the judicious; she is TO pro-
duce in the fall a play i'm which Mary Mag
dalen and Judas IscariOt are the main fig
ures. Mrs. Campbell will close her tour at
Pfttsburg on the 18th and will sail for
London on the 2lst.
If the report Of the alliance between Mrs.
Fiske and Mrs. Campbell be true. il is
an important move in Mr.. and Mrs. Fiske's
campaign against the theatrical syndicate.
Mrs. Campbell has won American acknowl-
edgment that she is the greatest English
speaking actress. She acts in the most
valuable plays only. So much cannot be
said of Mrs. Fiske, mOreis the pity. but
she is nevertheless the most influential
American actress.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
DEFENDANTS IN SUIT FILED BY DA-

They Want the Case to BE Tried at
New Albany-other Visitors mt

Among the guests at the Denison Hotel
last night was the postmaster of Salem.
He is DR.. H. c. Hobbs. The doctor is a
m-ild-mannered man with every appearance
of being a first-class citizen. He is one of
the twenty-seven defendants in the damage
suit of David A. Jennings. who claims that
Washington county citizens were the cause
of his undoing. There were originally
twenty-eight defendants, but Judge Ais
paugh. one of the defendants. is dead
The suit is one Of the most sensational
ever brought in the State and heavy dam
ages are asked. AT the hotel with DR..
Hobbs last night were two or three OF the
other defendants. One of them was Eli W.
Menaugh, editor Of the Salem Democrat.
Another was 4. c. Elliott. a leading attor-
ney of Salem. S. II. Mutchell. another Sa-
lem attorney, was at the hotel. These men
are here TO try TO have the case venued 10
Floyd county. They want it tried at New
Albany because that place is much nearer
their homes. The case has already been
set down for trial in the United States
Court, the date for the beginning OF the
trial being May 10. There are about three
hundred witnesses to be examined, and il is
estimated that it will require about three
weeks TO finish the case. Yesterday even
ing DR.. Hobbs and the other Salem men
had a little informal talk with Judge
Baker, telling him of their wishes I'm the
matter. DR.. Hobbs said last night that no
definite decision had been reached, and to-
day, he thought. a formal petition asking
for the change of venue would be filed. The
next term of court at New Albany will be
in July. The court thought the weather
would be too warm in July TO try the case.
After the July term the next term of court
at New Albany is in December. II the case
is tried there Judge Baker will preside, as
the action will still be in the Federal Court.
DIR. Hobbs says he does not think the de-
PENDANTS can get ready for trial in the May
term, because they will want 10 summon
more than one hundred witnesses, and
some Of the witnesses live in other States.
The doctor points out that il would be a
great hardship on some of the defendants
to put them to the expense OF coming TO
Indianapolis for trial. If tried at New AL
bany they would have TO go but a COMPARE
lively short distance. I'VE want to show
to the judge and jury" said DIR. Hobbs.
''iust what kind OF a character this man
Jennings has" 1t is said that the defend
ants in this remarkable case include some
of the best people of Washington county.
Among other things, Jennings alleges per-
secution, libel and white-capping. Jen-
nings was the publisher of a newspaper at
Salem.
