AN IMPORTANT CASE.
Litigation involving the Jurisdiction of the
United States Over Foreign seamen.

Litigation Involving the JURISDICTION OF inc
United States over Foreign seamen.
William G. Mahaffy, deputy clerk of
the United States District Court for
the District OF Delaware, Saturday filed
with the United States Circuit Court
Of Appeals in Philadelphia a transcript.
on appeal, of the record in the case OF
William Chambers vs.. the British
steamship Kestor.
About a year ago decree was entered
in the District Court for the Dis
trict Of Delaware in favor of William
Chambers for s56. IS. The owners of
the steamship Kestor have appealed,
with the hope of having this judgment
reversed.
While this is one of the most i'm
portant cases ever occupying the at
tention Of a Federal court, as 1t in
wolves the jurisdiction of the United
States government over foreign seamen
in American ports, the actual amount
of money at stake Is hut $40, as the
owners of the boat admit owing
Chambers s36 IS.
ON September I'd, 1899, Chambers
shipped on the Kestor in Baltimore
and signed shipping articles by which
he was to receive one shilling for the
| first 20 days and $50 PER month there
after. Chambers claim, notwithstand-
| ing the statement in the shipping arti-
Giles, is that he was entitled to $50 pei
month from the time he shipped until
he was discharged. The owners OF the
vessel claim that he was only entitled
to wages at the rate of $50 per month
after the first 20 days had elapsed.
| Chambers contention is that the mas
ter of the ship paid s20 to a shipping
| commissioner in Baltimore, which ht
construes to be advance wages, paic
before they were earned.
4 Chambers is British subject. Judg'
Bradford, in his decision, held that thu
prepayment of wages was prohibit b!
the act of Congress of 1898, and further
that the act applies to all persons
shipping on vessels In American ports
regardless of tine nationality of th'
vessel or the seaman shipping thereon

INDIAN EXHIBIT.
Congress of Red Men at the Worlds
Fair Will include Representatives
of Both Wild and Civilized
Tribes.

Worlds Fair, st. Louis, Sept. s.
Much genuine sentiment is centered
in the Indian Bureaus preparations
for an exhibit at the coming Worlds
Fair of the representatives of the
tribes of American Indians. That the
congress of red men at st. Louis in
1904 will be the largest and most
comprehensive Indian exhibit ever
attempted, and that 1t will be the last
exhibit of the kind the United States
government will attempt to make on
a large scale, seems to be generally
understood at Washington. 1t Is
therefore the intention OF the Indian
bureau to make it as complete as
possible, and it has therefore been
planned on elaborate foundations.
The exhibit will be representative
of the various types of this country's
original inhabitants. 1t will be indie
pendent of other government exhibits
and will be enclosed in a stockade,
as many of the Indians placed oil ex-
hibition are government prisoners,
and will be constantly guarded. The
noted Apache chief. Geronimo, now
more than 20 years of age, who will
be at st. Louis, is never permitted to
leave his reservation except under
guard. There will be Indian villages
presenting Indian customs and mode
of living, as we'll as the various In
dian dances, dog feasts, and other in
carnations in which the Indians ap.
pear in their gaudily decorated and
fantastic garbs will be presented more
actively and effectively than has been
attempted off the reservation. There
will also be a sham battle and other
exhibitions bearing a resemblance tc
the experiences of the early frontiers
man, including the council of war
the massacre and the pipe of peace
An official of the Indian bureal
says of the exhibit: "The a%ppropria
ton of $4,000 for the Indian exhibit
will be expended under the direction
of the secretary of the interior. Mr.
Hitchcock is anxious that the exhibit
be made one of the distinctive fea
lures of the Worlds Fair. There will
be at least 1000 Indians, representa-
tives of over fifty tribes, grouped OF
the exposition grounds. Some o
them will be the uncivilized. Will
others will be from those who hay'
been educated and are in every re
spect equipped for citizenship. The,
will live In tepees. in camps, on TIL
exposition grounds. and will be in
spected with much interest by Wis
itors. The several Indian reservation
In New York state will contribut
their share.

LITTLE BELT RESERVE.
Many Kicks Registered as the Result
of the Reserve Proclamation.

The forest reserve Of the Little
Belts, which was established by a
proclamation from the chief execu-
tive a short time since, has created
dismay amongst the stockmen who
have been in the habit of running
large herds Of stock of all kinds in
the foothills, which are set aside for
the serve The line has been set
about two or three miles too far to
the east according to many of the
ranchers of the affected district and
takes in stretches of grazing land on
which there is not a single tree. Pc
titions have been sent by the prin-
cipal stockmen in which they ask for
permits to continue grazing over the
land In question, stating that the loss
of such range would virtually put
them out of business.

trate.
Single. sir" replied the shaking Gull
prit.
"You ought to get married. II you had q
wife and family to occupy your attention
you would have no desire to drink" said

Married or single, joint" queried the
magistrate.
Married. your honor was the pris-
oner's reply.
Then you hav no business getting
