HISTORIC FORT GIBSON.
Celebrated Soldiers and Scouts Have
 Made the Fort Their Home.

Fort Gibson, the oldest town in the Indian Territory, is rich in historic lore. some of which has been written. but most of which is yet unrecorded.
 Settled shortly after the Louisiana purchase. there was established a mili- tary post in 1879. Many notable and distinguished men have lived here. In the United States national cemetery, about mile from the old fort. where 2.456 are buried. may be seen the names of celebrated soldiers. scouts and war riors. who figured years ago in border and Indian warfare. among ;he mum Der being the noted Seminole chief, Billy Bowlegs, who fought with Osce- ola at the battle of Wahoo Swamp, where General Dade was killed, and the American troops routed. After the treacherous capture and death of Osce- ola. Bowlegs joined the American army and was assigned the rank of captain, which may be seen on his tombstone in Fort Gibson cemetery which stands at the north side of the flagstaff. An other notable soldier, whose name may be seen south of the fiags:aff. is a brother of Commodore Decatur, who died in 1892.
 <AHOHS the OHlleu Sldles OIDcFTS WHO commanded and lived here was Zach ariah Taylor. afterwards president of tue United States, and Jefferson Davis, afterward preside..t of the southern confederacy. Mrs. NJ J. Ross Of Fort Gibson. wife of eX-Chief w. r. Ross, was we'll acquainted with Miss Bettie Taylor, before she married Jefferson Davis, who at that time was an un- | (, n T Tor without consent of her parents both running away to Van Buren Ark, for that purpose. Jefferson Davis afterward commanded the post of Fort Gibson, living here with his wife, until called to active duty in the Mexican war. where he won distinction as sol dier In the celebrated battle of Buena Vista, where he saved the day to the Americans, after which General Tay- Tor was proud of his son-iu-law. The house in which Jefferson Davis lived ir Fort Gibson was demolished and oblit- erated few years ago. It was large double log house, two stories high. and 1 had two large double flue chimneys 1 The writer visited the building before Its destruction. and has several relics 1 from it.

commanded here. During the war of the rebellion Fort Gibson was an inn portant post and at one time contained about 5000 troops, and was well forti- fed
 General HaZen while residing here married his wife. Miss Mclean of Cine inEati, O., now the wife Of Ad miral Dewey. She is said to have been the most stylish woman who ever lived in Fort Gibson, and lived ir the large stone building still standing on Garrison hill. Many people here re- member her well. She was a great horseback rider and used to hunt with her husband, over the prairies and hills along the Grand river.
 The noted American writer, Wash ington Irving. visited Fort Gibson and wrote his Tales of a Traveller in Il tent just outside the old parade ground on Garrison hill, near where troop A, Eighth United States cavalry, were camped last summer. The commence ment of the second paragraph of his book entitled A Tour of the Prairies" reads as follows:
 Tt was early in October, 1882, that l arrived at Fort Gibson a frontier post of the far west, situated on the NeoshO or Grand river. near its confluence with the Arkansas etc. And then follows the account of the crossing of Grand. Verdigris and Arkansas rivers on the trip to the buffalo hunting grounds. The French guide, Antonio or '"ronish, so conspicuously mentioned in this book, was well known by the father of Houston Benge of Fort Gibson. The arrival of the Irving party, consisting of several foreign gentlemen and a count, was a notable event in the his tory of Fort Gibson at that time.
 In 1S46 the poet Longfellow on tour of observation in the west visited Fort Gibson, by the way of Arkansas and Grand river by boat. Next year ap- peared the finest of all his poems, "Evangeline, where scenery in the vicinity of Fort Gibson is graphically and beautifully described: Into this wonderful land at the base of the Ozark mountains" where Evangeline sought her lost lover, Gabriel, and met a Shawnee woman, who, like herself was seeking a lost lover, relating tale of love with it's pleasures, until heI heart was touched with pity for the Indian maiden, and there they wept together for their hapless fate, the white and the Indian maidens.
 The oldest building in the Indian ter ritory is in an old town where the fort was first located. This building has

Young Millionaire Gives $5000 Dinner
 to Friends and Tradesmen.

As a rule a man does not invite his best friend and his tailor to dine to- gether with him at swell restaurant. Still less common is the spectacle of young millionaire giving a dinner cost ing 10000 to some sixty persons, about equally divided between his friends and his tailor, bOotmaker, haberdasher hosier, shirtmaker, natter, etc. Nor yet is it given to every young man to be- come twenty-One years Of age and be the possessor of s15,0OO, 900 in his own name at the same time.
 It was this happy circumstance that prompted F. A. Robinson, son of the late Peter Robinson, the John Wana- maker of London. to give grand din ner to the above mentioned company at the Trocadero the other night.
 Besides, during MT. Robinson's min ority he was faithfully waited upon by q bevy of obliging tradesmen. and he wished to express his appreciation of their kindness. So he mixed up his friends and his tradesmen, and fed them as most of them never had been fed before.
 Everything was of the most expensive kind in London. A Viennese band played Sousa's Imperial Edward march and other choice items during dinner. The menu was printed in gold. There was turtle soup to follow royal Whitstable oysters and the sweets properly included souffie Rothchild. Yet it must be recorded that the menu nearly broke the managers heart, for it was insisted that some of the most curious of the chefs master

night while in a drunken stuper on
the railroad track between Parish and

on the track which he supposed TO be
a hog. On nearer approach he dis
covered the outlines of a man. but too
late to stop before the engine had done
its terrible work. The train was
stopped Immediately and the remains
picked up piece by piece and placed to-

inquest. Quite a crowd of friends of
the deceased, including his stricken
young wife. boarded the train at You
mans for the scene of the tragedy The
young man had been around Meter
for several days and was decidedly in
toxicated. This fearful tragedy causes
grief to many homes throughout this

OTHERS HAVE,
WHY SHOULD NOT YOU
MAKE MONEY
ON REAL ESTATE:

There are men who are now buying
real estate in Savannah who. a few
years ago, could not be persuaded to
give respectful hearing to any propo-
sition in which real estate was a fac
tor. More money has been made upon
real estate in the last twelve months
than on any other commodity that is
bought and sold Those who fail to
make money fail because their judg-
ment is deficient They don't trust
themselves or anybody else-"failure
to recognize opportunity" What one
can do others can do also. Follow the
crowd-join the procession.
If you cannot get in a syndicate to
buy ten blocks buy one block, or one
lot for yourself.
Lots are steadily advancing in the
southeastern section. At one time
they were bought for seventy-five dol
lars each. Steadily they have ad-
vanced beyond two hundred dollars
each. Do you want to participate in
this advance? 1t is your fault if you
do not. Others are doing it, why not
you?

Adverse Decision by supreme Court
rs to Their Standing Would Prove
Calamity TO Many,
Atlanta, Feb. 13-There is a belief
in some quarters that the decision CT
the Supreme Court on the City Court
of Atlanta, while it will probably sus-
tain the status of the first division as
having a constitutional right to direct
appeal. will be adverse to the second
division of the court and to the Grim
inal Court of Atlanta These two lat
ter courts have been running regular
ly for about ten years. Lawyers here
state that should the decision be ad-
verse to these courts, at least 81. .500, 900
in property rights would be affected,
and probably 200 to 300 parties who won
on criminal charges in the Supreme
Court after conviction in the Criminal
Court. would be subject to arrest and
execution of their sentence. In this lat
ter event, it is believed. they would be
promptly pardoned, though the effect
of such a decision would be to neces-
state their arrest. Should the Supreme
Court decide 1t cannot entertain writs
of error from the courts named, all the
judgments which have been reversed
by the Supreme Court from these courts
for the last ten years would revert TO
the original judgment of the lower
courts, and the time having elapsed,
there could be no other appeal Hence
the large amount of money and proper
" which would be affected.
