The New York Sun" SAYS that Sen

time, but is a poor man. Why is it
that it is considered so virtuous to be a
poor man in politics, and so ornery to
be a poor man out of politics?

alphabet perhaps the newspapers will
reform.

ANOTHER BLUNDER.
Secretary OF Interior Makes Confus-
Ing Order to the Dawes
Commission.

This morning a Times reporter
WAS told by the chairman of ths
Dawes commission that yesterday
the commission received letter
from the department not to issue
certificates of allotment to any in
termarried citizens, no matter
what roll they were on.
This letter came just in the nick
of time, as there were then on the
chairman's desk certificates of al
lotment to 200 Cherokees, some
of them intermarried citizens.
These will all have to be cut out,
according to the order.
This Is but another of the most
exasperating delays caused by the
department Of the interior, which
seems to be about as familiar with
conditions and necessities in the
Indian territory as they are with
the jungIes Of Africa.
In the Cherokee treaty express
provisions are made for intermar
ried citizens This treaty was ap
proved by congress and the Cher.
okee nation and filled all necessary
requirements. The rolls were
made up and approved by the
secretary Of the interior, the inter
married citizens were issued al
lotment cards. and the work Of al
lotting the land was going forward
satisfactorily.
Now comes one John J. Hemp
hill, representing the Ke-too- wha
society, clan that is against al
lotment, and everything else, and
succeeds in getting the secretary
Of the interior to reverse himself,
reverse the commission and throw
the entire Cherokee nation in a
turmoil.
There are 5000 intermarried
citizens in the Cherokee nation.
The same rules that apply to them
also apply in the Chickasaw and
Chootaw nations. In those ma
tions there are probably 10000
intermsrried citizens. It is likely
that the same order concerning

FREAKIEST OF FREAK BILLS.


The crop of fool legislation evolved
! in the United States has been un-
usually large in the last year, says
! the New York World.
| The number of impractical fads
| written into bills and presented for
national or state action seems to be
| on the increase. Freaks Of legisla-
| tion there always have been, but
what may be thought of such meas
ures as the following being presented
in all seriousness in this year of the
twentieth century, 1903?
United States Senator Wellington
is seeking to have the constitution
amended to prohibit the possession
of more than $10,0o0,o00 by any one
individual in the United States. If
this passes, the hundreds of millions
of the Rockefellers, the vanderbilts
and others would become by law
public nuisance, public folly or
public peril and would be forfeit to
the state.
Kissing without certificate of
health from a physician will be un-
lawful in Minnesota if bill now be-
fore the state legislature becomes
law. Before man may kiss he must
show that he has no contagious or
infectious disease.
A bill placing tax of $50 year
on bachelors and OF s25 year on old /
maids, unless they can show that +
their unwedded state is not of their E
own choosing, or that they are quite
unable to pay the tax, has been intro
duced in the legislature of New York
state by Representative Isadore
Cohn.
On par with this measure was a
law actually passed by the Missouri
legislature in 1897 which fined
widows and maidens from $100 to $500
for rejecting suitor. It was called
a "single-tax" law, which it literally
was, and was afterward amended to
add to the fine the provision that the
woman should sew on buttons and
darn socks for the rejected suitor for
six months. This effectually killed it.
The Pennsylvania legislature in
1899 sought to stop the payment of
wages to coal-miners in store or
1ers. In committee the words ION
demand" were inserted so that the
law reads: "All wages shall be paid
IN cash on demand.n This made the
aw utterly valueless, for if a miner
demanded cash he could be. and gen.
orally was, at once laid off or dis
.harged.

Wood. He gets IL ii, going from de-

Henrik Ibsen, the Norwegian au-
thor, loves to keep his hair in disor-
der. This is said to be his own van
Ity. He always carries a little toilet
case containing looking glass and
q comb, which are attached to the |
lining Of his gray hat. He will often
remove his hat to look into the mir
Tor to see how his hair is lying. If |

Some Of the Attractive Finery That
VIII BE in Vogue for the
spring Season.

A new spring skirt model is of insteT
length, has seven graduated cores, with
an extra gore that forms an outside
box plait at the back. Another design
particularly adapted for wear with a
Russian paletot or shorter Russian
blouse, Is of two pieces, circular shaped,
with Tapped front breadths and rath-
er wide inverted box plait at the back.
Bands Of passementerie in applique de-
signs, strappings, braid, or silk stitch
ing down the edge Of the Tapped por-
ton, add to the stylish effect Of this
model, says . fashion authority.
A charming gown for afternoon, wear
recently designed for young ma
tron was composed entirely Of ecru
guipure, the skirt having fat tablier.
1t was edged down each side of the
front by narrow band of sable and
ornamented inside by silk tassels, hav-
ing a touch of green in them. The
bodice opened slightly to show a mar
row vest of pale green chiffon. The
waistbelt was of olive green velvet.
The hat to go with this was of chiffon
Of the same tint as the gown, the brim
encircled by folded olive velvet and pale
green chiffon, while a large plume, ton
ing from deep green to almost white,
curved gracefully over the brim at the
left side.
Jeweled belts in turquoise and steel,
emerald and jet, and other combine
tions, are among the accessories that
give special touch of elegance to the
costume, but their price places them
beyond the purse limits of the aver
age well-dressed woman, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
An exquisite model in separate waist
was Of white gros-grain silk hand
painted with chrysanthemums in red
and pink and bronze tints, the silk be- /
ing combined with deep-tinted ecru
guipure, which also made the sleeves.
As finish to this was lovely opal
