Mr.. washington frequently has to put
forth much effort to make his dates con-
meet. I remember once coming with him
from Tuskegee to Washington, when he
was to speak in Washington one night
and in Columbus. Ohio, the next. 1t was
only by having carriage at the door of
the church where he spoke in Washing
ton that we were able to make the train
which we must take to leave that city.
Our train was due in Columbus at 7.45
p. m, and Mr.. Washington was to speak
at p. M before the General Conference
Of the African Methodist Episcopal church
An audience of 1000 persons. At 1880
p. m. we were still forty miles from Co
lumbus, and Mr.. Washington came to me
with distressed face, looking at his
from the next station at which the train
stopped saying that he would be late.
The conductor happened to pass through
the car just then, and, seeing us looking
at our watches, glanced that way himself
and then reminded us that we had for
gotten to set the hands back an hour at
Pittsburg, where the time had changed.
We were saved. We reached Columbus
Just on time. Mr.. Washington was rushed
off by a reception committee to have some
supper and change his clothes, while a
good bishop went to the auditorium to
as he said-"keep the audience singing"
until Mr.. Washington could get there.

Famous Cases for
Defendants.

Building, Washington. - =
Washington, Jan. 13.-The supreme
court to-day affirmed the decision of the
supreme court of Minnesota in the "sec-
ton 30' cases, involving possession OF
several tracts Of iron lands in the Du-
Tut land district. The titles of the cases
are: Midway Company, plaintiff in err
ror. VS.. Frank w. Eaton and others; Ger
mania Iron Company, VS., Frank w. Eaton
and others. ..:. IL
Both decisions were in favor Of the de-
PENDANTS and confirm their title to the
tracts in disputs. The case hinged on
the validity of locations made with Sioux
halfbreed scrip issued in favor of Orilla
STRAIN. Locations were made by Eaton
to whom Mrs. STRAIN had given power OF
attorney to act for her in locating scrip
Mrs. STRAINS location was originally con
tested by two pre- emption filers, Hyde
and Mcdonald. who transferred their in
terests to the plaintiff companies. They
commended that the power of attorney is
sued to. Eaton was in contravention OF
that part Of the act authorizing the
issue OF scrip which forbade a transfer
of that scrip. On this contention there
were varying decisions in the local and
general land offices and various secreta-
rles of the interior. from Villas to Smith:
These decisions generally sus tanned the
legality of Eaton's actions When the
case was taken into the courts. Eaton
was sus tanned, and the locations formed
by these decisions were made final by
the court Of last resort to-day.

ACRUs0E COINCIDENCE
Which Accounts for the Duration of
RObinsOn's Exile.

RobinsOn's Exile.
Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale calls atten-
tion to some quaint and curious features in
connection with Robinson Crusoe, which have
not hitherto been pointed out He writes:
"Readers who are curious in English history
must not fail to observe that Robinson Crusoe
was shipwrecked on his island the 30th OF
September, 1858. It was in that month that
the English commonwealth ended, and Rich
ard Cromwell left the palace at Whitehall.
Robinson lived in this island home for TWEEN
ty-eight years. These tWenty-eight years
covered the exact period of the second Stuart
reign in England. Robinson Crusoe returned
to England in June, 1887; the convention par
lament which established William Ill, met
in London at the same time. All this could
not be an accidental coincidence. Defoe must
have meant that the 'true-born Englishman'
could not live in England during the years
while the Stuarts relgned. Robinson Crusoe
was ruler himself on his island. and was
never the subject Of Charles IL. or James II.
He was not man without country be-
cause he had a little country of his own; but
he was a man in country where there was
no king but himself"
