lsparacher, the noted chief Of the.
Creek Indians, who has just passed
away in Ol,mulgee, Indian territory,
at the age of 30, was probably the most
remarkable fUll-blOOded Indian of re-
cent times. He was born in the old
Creek nation in Alabama and went
westward with his tribe. He fought
in the union army and was member
of the Indian home guards. After the
war he served as a judge of the Greek
nation. Overthrown in 1883 by Cheko-
tab, he organized revolt which had

Plants as Travellers.

Plants travel to astonishing dis
tances. The seeds stick to this or

and by those that go down to the
sea in ships, from one end of the
world to the other. Sir Joseph
Hooker relates a striking instance of
this seed-carrying, which is perpet-

Stealthily hiding a large kitchen

Mrs. Otis Finhart, wife of a farmer
living two miles northwest of Grand

night the woman suddenly attacked
her husband. She hacked his neck
with vicious blows, while he struggled

She clung to him with furious

ARRIVING At BOSTON.

Boston is chortling in dignifed way
because she is the spot where many
immigrants are landing. Last week
the immigration at the port of Boston
broke the record. There were $500 pas
sengers from Europe and Canada. On
Thursday and Friday over 5000 persons
were landed. On Thursday alone 300
persons passed the examinations. The
transatlantic liners brought in 1900
The steamer Saxonia of the Cunard line
brought in over 2,10O passengers, mostly
immigrants from Liverpool. The facil-
tiles of the port officers were taxed to
the utmost to examine all these inlmi-
grants and issue the necessary papers
to permit them to land.
1t is further announced that large
proportion Of the immigrants at the
port of Boston are of the very best
kind. This is appropriate, as they meet
the very best kind of people when they
arrive. The immigrants who pick out
the port of Boston to arrive at know
their business.

THE TROUBLE IN K0KoM0.

There is trouble in Kokomo, Indiana,
and before 1t ends the men who have
made it. will have to come down and
roost where they belong. These men
have, it appears, been too mean to pay
enough to repair the MARYLAND Avenue
Methodist meeting house. Disguised
with this meanness the generous women
Of the church sent a committee to the
proprietor of tomato canning factory
and asked him to give the women of
the church employment in his factory
till they could earn enough money to
nay for the repairs, The offer was ac-
cepted, and the women got out their old
clothes and arranged to begin work.
when the husbands heard of the pro-
posed method Of making the improve,
ments ON the church they entered pro-
tests. and some of them forbade their
wives going further with the scheme.
This caused friction in several families,
and the women held another meeting
ana asked the advice of the Rev. Mr..
Williams, the pastor. He approved their
plans ana thus encouraged they pre-
pared to carry out the scheme. Some
Of them hesitated before their husbands
opposition. but the majority are firm
and have virtually defied their better
halves. The matter has been carried
into the church proper and there is ILL
feeling against the pastor because OF
his approval Of the plan. The women
have notified the men of the congrega-
tion that the only condition on which
they will consent to abandon their plans
is that the necessary money be SUBJ
scribea and paid at once.
If course the men will have to pay if
they want peace, and If they want war
of course they will be beaten in it. The
women are everlastingly right, and the
Kokonlo men are lucky that they are
not also ordered to contribute to found
and carry on mission on the Congo.
They should pay and retire to the OBJ
security from which the women have
temporarily brought them.

generally admitted, think, that COM
munity must rise, or fall according to
the scope and calibre of what is called
its composite citizen-that is, its gen
eral average of mentality and brain
power. So, if the people are not ready
for municipal ownership, not educated
up to it. so to speak, it will be possible
for graft and jobbery to thrive and run
riot if they have such ownership On
the other hand, if in community there
be a large body of strong and fearless
men, municipal ownership cannot fail,
and is inevitable.
So, then, the only claim we can stand
on in our demand for municipal owner
ship, aside from our belief in what is
ideal, is that we are backed by strong
body of citizens, who, while they may
not be in the actual foreground, would
come out solid and strong for munich
pal ownership were they given the
chance we ask for them, viz, referen-
dunn vote.

not in favor of municipal ownership-if
the composite citizen, by whose man
date we advance or halt, says no!-then

ownership is wise and necessary mas

MORE INTELLIGENCE.

During the Boer war the British
found that their Intelligence depart
ment wasn't anywhere near as intelli-
gent as it ought to have been. Now
the British parliament has greatly in
creased the amount of money appro-
priated for the support of its army and
navy bureaus of information. The
number of officers detailed for service
in these bureaus has also been greatly
increased. A member of parliament re-
Gently called into question the useful
ness of the British naval intelligence
office from the fact that it was unable
to furnish to him a list Of names of
Russian warships. It seems that when
the member asked for the names Of
some Of the Cars vessels he received
statement that the intelligence office
could not identity the ships because of
the frequent changing of their names.
The bureau did not have enough officers
to devote to the work of keeping UP
with the change of Names so the in
telligence office simply had to guess as
to certain of the vessels. 1t also devel-
oped that the Russian government fol-
lows the policy of remaining it's war;
ships every few months in order to
mystify the other European nations.
Great secrecy is maintained, and the
first thing the foreign attaches at st..
Petersburg know they read of Rus
sian battleship bearing an entirely
strange name. Then they devote all
their energies to tracing the origin of
the ship. Thus, in their reports to the
home offices, a certain vessel will carry
three or four outlandish Russian names,
all Of which may be dropped by the
time the report is received. The Rus
slams are entirely successful in their at
tenpts to puzzle the continental pow
ers as to the identity of her warships,
and there is less accurate knowledge
concerning the Cars ships than of any
other navy in the world.

Tax Payers.

To the Editor of the journal and Courier:
The correspondence In the Journal
and Courier indicates considerable fog
giness in the minds of some otherwise
smart men about the subject of taxes
and taxpaying. There are some thou
sands of taxpayers In New Haven
whose names never get into the grand
list. Every man and every woman,
too, that pays rent Is a taxpayer. and
the owner of a hundred tenements is
the collector of the taxes from his ten
ants, because the taxes paid by the
owner to the city is part Of his ealcu-
lation of expense on his property when
he figures on the rent which he must
get from the property. The compiler Of
the interesting little book Taxpayers
of New Haven needs to issue large
supplement to that work to include the
names of all who pay rent, and 1t might
be well, too, for him to have an appen-
dix with the names of a considerable
number who may be called rent dodgers
those who find it cheaper to move
than to pay rent These should be
added to the noble army of tax dodgers
who evade the assessors in every pos
sible way. LAYMAN.

SEw RUSSIAN POLICY.

The European newspapers are still
discussing the true significance of the
promotion or observation OF n. Witte,
Russia's ex-AIinister OF Finance. Ac-
cording to a letter from Moscow in one
of the London journals it means that
the Car is resolved to revert to the
sources Of Russia's real strength,
which have been almost wholly neglect
ed Of late. NJ. White, having passed
the earlier years of his service in close
association with the industries Of Rus
STA, contrived. as Minister of Finance,
to turn no ineonsiderable part of the
resources of the empire into huge in
dustrial manufacturing engine, the
enormous profits OF which went direct
into the Golfers of the State, while agri-
culture has been drained. almost Of its
life blood. to build up profits for the
industrial concerns run either directly
or Indirectly by the Russian State.
Henceforward, says the correspondent,
agriculture will receive more of the fos-
tering care of those In supreme power.
Railroad construction, which absorbed
NJ. Whites greatest energies. win give
way to the making of the roads which
should long ago have preceded them.
Huge stock companies bolstered up by
State funds. will be left to their own re-
sources, and the money thus saved will
be snent in ameliorating the condition
of the peasant. The change of policy.

in Russia with a sense of relief, but he
nevertheless records his own opinion
that NJ. White is man ahead of his
age
