Fraud Foiled.

The Indian land scheme Is the latest
fraud discovered In its attempted per-
petratration on the Government and
Indiana--It haa haen- -Ehackmated by
SECRETARY Of Interior Hitchcock. The
Posto1ice swindle was pygmy compar-
cd to it.
Lands worth at least calculation $175-
00Q 000 ara to be disposed of They are
OF the I've civilized nations
living in the Indian Territory. There
are no less than 90, 600. 900 acres Of as
fine land as is to be found in any of the
prairie states lying on the banks Of the
Mississippi About $1,000, 900 acres of
this imperial domain are in the control
Of the Indians and they are at liberty to
dispose of them when they find pur-
chasers and when the Secretary of the
Interior is satisfied that the price they
receive Is sufficient
When the land companies were organ
lied there was no provision saying the
sale should be approved by the Secre-
tary Of the interior. The Secretary
himself inserted that as one of the con-
ditions, and its insertion is the cause of
all the charger, formal and otherwise,
that have been made against Mr. Hitch
cock. The exploiters had the machinery
90 arranged that they would be able to
buy lands worth from $15 to $40 an acre
for g rrice not to exceed 81.
The men employed by the government
either as members of the Dawes Com
mission, the Indian Bureau or the In
terror Department directly, who fomed
these companies, had options from the
Indians who would come into possession
Of choice bits of land. When the Sec
retary discovered this he promul gated
the rule requiring the Indians to adver-
tise for bids and to submit them for ap-
proval before the sale could be complet-
ed. Pres. Roosevelt has gone after them
and designations are in order.

called the America" cup, attempted TO
sail the first of their five races. last
Thursday, over the Coney Island. thirty
mile course. but were prevented Dy q
rain-storm. and the race was postponed
until Saturday.
The Reliance is a little the larger
boat, has little the greater spread OF
sail and the Rules Of the Yacht CLUB
allow the Shamrock an advantage OF l
minutes and 81 seconds for this. The
under water bodies of the two boats are
almost identical.
On Saturday they had splendid day
and good wind, and the two boats sailed
fifteen miles into 1t, almost evenly; and
turned the stake-boat almost to-
gether; but running back, before the
wind, the Reliance outsailed the Shem-
rock, and came In minutes ahead, OF
with the time allowance off, minutes
and seconds. A shift In the wind on
the out going trip gave the Reliance
slight advantage, and Sir Thomas
Lipton still had hopes of winning the cup
On Tuesday the Reliance crossed the

What One Russian Life Cost
Turkey.

In order to satisfy the wrath of Rus
sia over the murder of her consul at
Monastir, Turkey felt compelled not only
to hang the sentry who killed Rostkovski,
but also another sentry who failed to
prevent his colleague from shooting.
The two hangings were only a beginn-
ing. The witnesses who testified that
the consul had insulted the sentry and
had struck him and shot at him were
all sent to prison for from five to Is
yrurs, and the two Turkish army officers
who referred to the dead man disre-
specially were both dismissed from the
army. The governor of the province
was removed. and the chief of gendar-
mes and the captain of the company 70
which the slayer belonged not only lost
their places. but were turned over to the
courts for further punishment. The
widow Of the consul has been offered
$50, ,000as indemnity, and has declined it,
the amount of the offer is to be in
creased.-N Y. American.

from legally marrying his deceased
wife's sister, but another anomaly in
the law has been allowed to stand. The

HOPE is the honey in the flower Of

HOPE il the honey in the flower of
mortality, the sugar in the cane of every
day existence, the sweetened juice in
the maple trees that cast their shadows
acroes the torturous path Of life. When
the flower begins to wither, when the
sugar can is frosted, when the naples
drop their leaves, and the sweetness Of
hope begins to fade away, then life be-
gins to grow dark and cheerless, unless
we turn our residue of whitening hope
Into visionary dreame and picture
another existence far beyond the
shadows Of these tangled sorrows and
joys which we were never able to
unravel. -Ex.
