Just before adjournment the
Cherokee national councl passed
the following joint resolutions:
Whereas, the Cherokee nation
by agreement ratified by the Cher
okee people at an election held
August 7th, 1902, agreed 10 the
NATURALIZATION Of their lands an d
termination Of the tribal govern
ment on March 4th, 1906; and,
lEkWhereas, the Commission 10 the
Five Civilized Tribes is thorough.
ly conversant with the provisions
of said agreement and the details
neces sary to carry the same into
effect; and,
Whereas, the Cherokee people
have every confidence 10 the ef-
ticiency and the integrity Of each
member of the Commission to the
Five Civilized Tribes as now con-
stituted; and,
Whereas, change ia the per
sonnel of the commission at this
time would be great detriment
to the public service and be the
means of retarding the fnal set
tlement OF the Cherokee estate,
Therefore, be it resolved by the
national council Of the Cherokee
nation, that we heartily endorse
the record of the Commisson TO
the Five Civilized Tribes and take
pleasure il altesling the con

The Suns Distance.

In order to calculate the linear velOc-
ity of the earth in it's orbit we must
first know its distance from the sun.
If we can measure the earth's velocity,
the suns distance can be computed. If
the velocity can be determined with
great accuracy, the resulting value of
the suns distance is propOrtiOnately
precise. The methods of spectroscOpy
have been so far improved that we are
within measurable distance of deter
mining the solar parallax by spectre
scOpic observations. If any star near
the zodiac be observed with the spec
trOscOpe at the two seasons when it's
longitude differs from that of the sun
by 80 degrees. we can deduce not only
the velocity of the star but also the
mean velocity of the earth in its orbit
SpectrOscope observations of stellar We
lOcity in the line Of sight are now so
good that the value of the solar dis
tance which may be had on the princi-
pie described is at least of the same
order of accuracy as values derived
from older methOds.-Evangelist.

FrenI>s of Figures.

Some person of a mathematical turn
of mind has discovered that the multi
plication of 9S765432l (Which. you will
observe, are simply the figures / to
0, inclusive. reversed) by 45 gives A.
Az, Al .445. Reversing the order of the
digits and multiplying 12345G7S9 by 45
we get It result equally curious-viz.
5,5jJ. 800, 500. If we take 1234J67S9 as
the multplicand and, interchanging the
figures in 10 so as to make them read
81, use the last number as a multiplier,
the result will be G,GGG. .GGG. COG. Re
turning to the multiplicand 9S7G54321
and taking "a as the multiplier again.
the result will be J3,333 ,333, ,334, all 3's
except the first and last figures, which
together read 54-the multiplier TAX
ing the same multiplicand and 81 the
half of "a. as the multiplier. the prod
uct is 2G,GGG &c., ,GG7, all 6's except the
first and last figures, which together
read 27-the multiplier. Now inter
changing the order of the figures -
and using y instead as a multiplier
and 9S1654321 as the multiplicand we
get as a product 71,111,111,112. all Is
except the first and last figures, which
together read 72-the multiplier.

Visiting the Invalid.

In chronic invaIidism the patient
feels that to come in contact with
lives unbounded by four walls, with
people living normally. with interests
Of others instead of his own petty
round, is an emancipation.
Ordinarily the chitchat of trifing
events is what brightens the invalid
but careful guard should be kept not
to overtax, either by length Of stay or
by effort to keep up the conversation.
In the slow, tedious months or years
Of hopeless illness some effort should
be made to bring in people. Human
nature needs its kind, and seclusion
forces the mind to brooding. This is
often forgotten by those who surround
a patient sufferer with every physical
comfort and care, but who do not real
ize what a breath from the outside
world would do for the mind which
has grown so weary Of the daily rou-
tine.

She was ready to begin taking on. the
widow came out of the cabin one morn
ing to find the mate lounging ON the
quarter deck and the crew loafing
about forward.
Jed' what's the meaning of this?"
she demanded as she looked around.
"Mutiny, ma'am." he briefly replied.
"Nlutiny about WHAT"
Lots of things. As there hain't

money | don't see how we are to get
out of here for a month of SUNDAYS"
Nv mats this | hear about mutinv?"
asked the widow as she went forward
among the sailors. "Wm Perkins

what's the trouble"

kins-"we stands by the mate"

weeks ago"
You did. ma'am, but | didn't have
any mutiny to back me up then. Looks
as if you'd have to 20 ashore and let
the consul marry us if this brig is
ever to sail into Providence harbOr
ag'in."
I'm a good mind toto stand out
and let the old brig sink at her
anchors"
"Mutiny is a terrible thing-a terri
bic thing" replied Jed as he looked as
solemn as possible.
"Y-e-s, know, but I'm not afraid. If
it wasn't that l wanted to get loaded
as soon as possible and get back to
market with the logwood. I'd keep
right on sayin' no."
but as it is. ma'am?"
"As it is. well so ashore in the yawl

The consul thought it couldn't. and
the Mary Ann had new captain on

bade everybody and everything a last
farewell, and he called at the postof-
fee to say:
Uncle Ben, if any letters come for
me you can make pipe lights of 'em,

ag'in."
Coin to be drownded this vyige?"
asked the old postmaster.
I'm sure to be, with all the rest.

The Widow Jones was not yet forty
years old and in the best of health.
When the voyage began she stood
when the brig reached a port in the
West Indies Jed Parsons had to admit
that her seamaa aship had been as good
as his own. While Jed admitted this
much TO himself, he carried the idea
10 others that nothing but an Overrul-
ing providence had kept the Mary Ann
afoat on the voyage out, and that she
must certainly go to the bottom on the
run home. Much to his surprise. the
brig reached her home port without
the slightest mishap.
so you got back alive arter all?"
queried Uncle Ben as Jed entered the
pOstoiiice looking rather shamefaced.
Yes, Uncle Ben, have" replied the
mate. "Tve heard about the Lord

work on earth, and l guess that's my
case"
"ShoO! Shoow continued Uncle Ben.

The brig Mary Ann Jones had been
sailing between Providence and the
West Indies for good many years
when Captain Jones died. His Wife,
after whom the brig was named, had
always sailed with him, and she could
take a trick at the wheel, work out an
observation or take charge of the craft
as well as n first mate. Jed Parsons
had been Captain Jones' first mate for
five years, and when death overlook
the shipmaster Jed naturally expected
that the widow would settle down
ashore and ask him to go as captain.
In this he was sadly disappointed.
81 don't care to stop ashore" eX-
planned the widow. land there's no rea-
son why l shouldn't go as captain OF
the Mary Ann"
Nobody ever heard of a woman be-
ing captain of ship" replied Jed. "It
appears agin natur'. It's like a man
tryin' to sew carpet rags and make
pumpkin pies
Don't you worry about that, Jed
Parsons. You are a purity smart fell
Ter, as I'll admit. but there's folks Jest
as smart, and I'm one of EN-"
Jed didn't refuse to 90 along as first
mate, but he carried a solemn face
while the brig was loading and was
free with his predictions that the Mary
Ann Jones would never enter a home
port again. When she was ready to
sail, he went around and ostentatiously

ALL OF THEM FREELY CONFESSED
Girl Says 1t All Happened because My
Mother Was Cross"

The young women. when arrested,
were separated and questioned. and
were soon telling different stories.
When confronted with the discrep-
ancies they both confessed and i'm
plicated Davis in their crime. Then
the detectives went after Davis, and
he confessed as readily as the wom-
Ell had done. The trio gave back the
money they had not spent, and now
there will be n scramble TO realize on
whatever clothing they, bought. John
son. the victim. is the least concerned
of all. for the bank must stand the
loss of the forgery.
1T all happened because my mother
was cross with us. and objected to my
going with Ruth" said Esther John

so that we determined to run away
and 20 to Chicago. This man had been
bra gging so much about the money he

formal filing of assignment papers
there no developments in the affairs
of the failed firms of Talbot J. Taylor
& Co. and William L. Stow * Co.
Much stock for their accounts and 9TH
erS was sold out by foreign banking
houses. In estimating the amount OF
liabilities, bankers placed those of Tay-
lor s, Co. at 1h'om $6,OO0,OOO to SS,-
100000, and those of Stow & Co. at
from $4.OOO.OOO to $5.OOO,OGO. In each
case, however, it was admitted that
these estimates were mere guesses.

market in New York figure the losses
of Morgan and his immediate asso
