INDIAN NATION IS NO MORE.
Last Chief Of the Onee Great CheFO-
KEGS Has Been Chosen 20 an
Empty Honor.

The last Cherokee election has been
held; the last chief Of the Cherokee ma
tion has been chosen, now a nation no
longer but In name-swallowed up by
the great American union, its name and
identity lost forever, reports the Kan
sqs City Journal. Monday, August 3,
1908, will be a memorable day in Cher
okee history. The sun rose clear and
shone with resplendent beauty over the
Cherokee land, from the plains Of Kan
sas on the north to the hills and woods
Of Arkansas on the south.
All was stir and hustle among the
Cherokees that day, for 1t was their last
tribal election. There we're two candi-
dates for chief, one representing the so
called progressive party and the other
the nonprogressive element, mostly the
fullblood Indians, to whom 1t was 4
solemn occasion. All day long from
morn till sunset the battle Of the bal
lots went on, each side striving for mas
terry; and when the sun went down that
night the star Of Cherokee tribal gov
ernment had set forever-the progress
i've party had won, and the last hopes oi
the fullbloOds had vanished. Hence
forth they would be subjected to the
white rule. and as a nation and separat'
people realize that they no longer ex
listed.

"A feet. Anatomists have frequently ex-
iplained that the formation Of a woman'a
shoulder-blades prevents her from
throwing straight and far; but the Ia

distance from the deep outheld to the
home plate. Evolution seems to be al

FORBIDDEN MARRIAGES
Amended Law n Michigan speeiaes
Distinctly what Relations Are
Prohibited.

Under the amended marriage law Of
Michigan the marriage Of cousins Of
the first degree" is prohibited, and II
will become the duty Of the county
clerk to ascertain whether such rela-
tionship exists between the candidates
for marriage. reports the Detroit Trib-
une.
The law which Is now amended TO
include FIRST cousins specifics distinct
ly what other relation, In law or con-
sanguinity. are prohibited from we'd
ding with each other. and to make
positive that no illegal marriage occur
through his fault, the careful county
clerk, before issuing q license, should
inquire:
'Is this woman your mother, grand
mother, stepmother, grandfathers s
wife. sons wife. grandson's WIFE,
wife's mother. wife's grandmother
wife's daughter, wife's granddaughter.
or your sister. brothers daughter. sis
ter's daughter. fathers sister, or moth
er's sister, OF cousin Of the first de-
greer" Reversing the sexes the same
questions apply to the woman. It is
recalled that Rev. Father Ternes,
OF Detroit, one day had room full OF
lawyers busy searching the authorities
to discover whether q man could mar
~ "his widows niece" The investiga-
ton had proceeded some time when It

PROPER AUTOMOBILE TEST.
Trip Made by Two Men frOm San
Francisco to New York With
out Accident.

A new transcontinental record for
automobiles has been established by
two men who drove a comparatively
small machine Of American make from
San Francisco to New York, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. They left the former
city on June 20. They arrived here
muddy, tired. but not materially the
worse for their uncommon experience.
They averaged about so miles q day.
They crossed mountains. They trav-
ersed deserts. They trundled over all
kinds of roads in all sorts and condi-
tions Of weather. And through It all
their machine met with no serious mis-
hap, a fact which will help reduce the
automobile joke Of the funny papers to
It's proper level of inconspicuity. Once
before the continent was crossed by an
autOmobilist, but be did not make as good
time as did these two people. This most
recent test Of endurance Is worth .
great deal more In the development Of
the motor car than ell the hOmicidal
road races that have ever been arranged
IN Europe or elsewhere. Eighty miles
a day is not a high average. and it could
doubtless be bettered by larger cars and
by more reckless drivers. but It is fast
enough to show what the automobile is
capable Of in the way Of endurance.
And endurance, or he capacity to wear
well, not speed, should be the first ss-
sential in the construction Of motor

L. H. Hickman, press agent for the

lowing story, for the truth Of which
he ohers to make affldavit: While
showing at Oil City, Pa, last month,
at one OF the performances, q travel
ing man, wearing q large diamond on
his bosom, became interested In one
Of the ostriches IN the menagerie, and
Rs he stood before the CORRAL where
the ostriches we're confined, the
sparkling diamond attracted the
attention Of the immense bird. The
ostrich is extremely partial to any
shining mark, and he had no sooner
espied the gem than be became
Possessed with an inordant desire to
possess it, 90 reaching his long neck
over the side Of the corral he plucked
the diamond from the gentleman's
shirt front, and it disappeared inside
the fiset-fOoted biped. The owner OF
the stone Immediately gave the alarm
10 the keeper, but meantime, the
ostrich bad backed Of among the
other birds In the corral and the gem
tlsman was unable to distinguish
which Of the birds was the thief. The
gentleman followed the show for q
week, and finally returned to Oil City
without his diamond.

ST JoHN's COLLEGE.

With Yesterdays commencement ex-
ercises ST. Johns College has completed
another year, about the one hundred
twenty.hhb, and another class OF sixteen
graduates has gone forth into the world
crowned with the blessings OF a collegi-
ate education and overshadowed by the
influence of Christian professors under
whose training they have been for the
past tour years or mere.
These young men cannot but feel that
their lines have fallen In pleasant places
while being educated at St. Johns Col
lege. II Is not only time-honorei IN
sutution that has graduated such men as
Key, Pinkney and our own William
Pinkney Whyte, but il is today sending
forth young men who bid fair to become
leading men in the world. men whose
ability cannot fail to be recognized.
In yesterdays graduating class there
were a number of young men Of whom
the world will hear later, young men
who have a bright future, young Chris
tan men who made their mark at col
lege and left its halls with the "God-
Bless-You' OF the Faculty and Board
OF Visitors. They should always remem-
Der they are St. Johns men, and be true
to their alma mater, and, as the Hon.
Edwin Wariield told them yesterday in
his able address full OF practical wisdom,
--''be true TO their God and to their
State-to whose muni6cence they are
largely indebted for their education.
St. Johns Is a noble institution and
deserves to rank with the first colleges in
the country. II is good old Southern
school and there is no reason to send our
Maryland boys to the North for an
education which can b. had right heie.
St. Johns has as its president Chris
tan gentleman and a scholar, man OF
rare culture, who has done much in the
past years and is still doing much to
promote the welfare of the institution
Through his efforts the debt has been
