DEER IN MASSACHUSETTS,.

Most remarkable, perhaps of the whole report. is the part which shows how deer are increasing all over the State. Years ago the Plymouth woods were the only place where they could be found, and were regarded as something very peculiar, as a survival of a dim past and as really a part of the wild West. But nov, from many towns from Cap Cod and Cape Ann to Berk- shire come reliable accounts of the pre- sence of deer. They have even come very close to Harvard College, which is only three miles from the State House, Plymouth sends word they are more plentiful than usual New Bedford says: Deer are very plentiful in this vicinity" Marshfields, Raynham. near Taunton, Sherborn, Milford, in the south part of Worcester County, and many places in the northern suburbs of Boston ad others all through Essex County in the northeast send word of the new and strange presence of deer. A deputy wrting from Gloucester says: Deer are reported seen at Gloucester, West Glouster, Essex and Manchester, especially at West Glouscester and Es- sex where they have been nearly every day, three or four being seen together at one time" A writer from Haverhill says: During the last four months I have seen 14 deer" From Aver, in northern Middlesex, comes this word: Deer are gaining in numbers. Last fall three of four in bunch was the | usual numbr; this year from six to eight were seen.' All through Wor- cester County the yseem to be numer- ous. One writer from Ware, in Hamp- shire County, says: There is large increase in the number of deer It is common to see them among cattle and sheep while riding through the coun- try" Another says that deer have been more numerous than ever, and that one farmer reports seeing 12 on his farm. Another says that four stayed on his farm all summer without doing any damage to his crops. A de- putty, writing from the tonw of Florida, which is in Berkshire, on the top of Hoosac Mountain, says; If this town, Flordia, could be fenced in it would park. I am certain that in parts of the town it is not unusual to see as many as eight deer, and IA have seen together by reliable persons in one day. Fur ther reports from the Franklin County hills and the Berkshire County forests are to the effect that deer are increas- ling.-Forest and Stream

HISTORY oF AN oLp CLAIM.

The loyal Greeks will soon receive the cash on their old war claims. The en- tire amount of the original claim was s1, 100000, but after long years of wait ing and many conferences between the Indians and congressional committees it was finally sealed to half that amount The Indian most instrument tai in securing the award was the Hon. D. M. Hodge, of Tulsa. For his ser vices he was allowed to retain five per cent. of the amount collected. This circumstance alone shows that the h. dian had but little hopes of ever getting anything out of the government. The claim was pending more than thirty years.
 The largest claim is that of Celia
 Scott, a resident of the vicinity of Ceweta. The claim is twenty three thousand dollars. The other claims range down to a few dollars or even cents. A large number of persons resi- ding in the vicinity of Tulsa will get large amounts. The principal of these is Lincoln Postoak, whose check will aggregate about nine thousand dollars. Ex-Governor L. c. Perryman will get nice little slice; so likewise will several others. Several boys who never saw one hundred dollars in their lives will get various sums ranging from that amount up to twelve or fifteen hundred dollars. What they will do with this money no one knows. But all have agreed upon one thing. viz, get rid of lit as soon as possible. All sorts of schemes are matched calculated to part them from the money.
 Celia Scott is the daughter of the or
 ganizer and leader of the loyal Creeks, who left their homes along the Arkan- sas river in 1861 for the north. He was neither chief nor soldier, but medi- cine man, in whom the Indians had i'm
 plcit confidence. Seeing the exposed
 condition of his tribesmen, he went to the chief of his rfaction and obtained permission to lead them out of the Egyptian darnness overhanging the
 country. They located at LeRoy, Kan.
 The refugees started from their homes on Christmas day. They were away from home nearly five years. Many men who have since been famous in llit HAolOiy Ol ltAS bStSC NNtS HI hAAo I V treat. Among them may be mentioned Pleasant Porter present chief of the tribe; also Legus c. Perryman, twice elected to that exalted office; likewise the Hon. David M. Hodge, who has signed every treaty of his tribe since
 the civil war. He has also personally known every president and many con- gressmen and senators of the United States.
 The refugees were followed by the southerners, led by the rebel, General Cooper. They travelled in a north and west direction toward Coffeyville. On Bird Creek, north of Tulsa, near Skia- took, the present home of the Hon. W. c. Rogers, present chief of the Chero- kees. fight took place. General Por- ter commanded in this fight, when he was wounded. A number of other slkir- mishes took place along the route. but
 none worthy of special mention.
 The Indians left fine farms, orchards, good houses and thousands of dollars
 worth of live stock, all of which was carried away or destroyed. From this arose the loyal Creek claims so soon to be paid-Kansas City Journal.

INVASION OF PANAMA.
Colombian Government Said to BE
Helpless to Prevent It.

Helpless to Prevent It..
New York, Feb. This cable dis.
patch was received here from an Off.
cial source in Bogota, according to
the Sun:
Government is helpless in effort to
prevent war. In less than month
from now 10000 men will be on the
Isthmus."
This information, confirming rumors
cabled from Panama that Colombia in
tends organizing and sending an ex.
pedition against Panama, comes as q
surprise, in view of the changed atti'
tude of the Colombians, who had ap'
parently accepted the inevitable and
depended on General Raphael Reyes,
their special envoy to Washington, to
save what he could from the wreck,
says the Sun.
General Reyes was to have sailed
Saturday for Barranquilla on the
steamer Valencia, but for the second
time he deferred his departure. Gen.
eral Pedro Nelispl:ina and De Lucas
Caballero, colleagues of General
Reyes on the Colombian commission,
sailed on the Valencia.
The story continues, on seemingly
good authority it Is stated, that Cen
eral Reyes remains here because his
negotiations with the state depart.
ment at Washington have not been
completely broken off and that he has
tentative promise from this gov
ernment that Colombia will be taken
care of with a pecuniary balm for her

Laying the "GhOst."

The Earl of Onslow tells a very ef-
fective story. His beautiful old place,
Clandon, suddenly became possessed Of
a "gllost," and the servants of the
place were almost terrified out of their
wits by the noises they heard and the
sights they saw or imagined. The
reputation of the mansion became nois-
ed abroad, and at last Lord Onslow
took a short cut to end the mystery.
He assembled his servants and gave it
out to them that he was determined to
have no more of this sort Of thing.
For the future all members Of his fam
lily would sleep with loaded revolvers
by their side, and at the first sugges-
ton of a noise they would send a bull
let in it's direction to investigate the
cause. Clandon nowadays is quite
commonplace in its immunity from
the uncanny.-London Globe.

AMEs is A FREE MAN.
Supreme Court Releases the Former
Mayor of Minneapolis.

Supreme Court Releases the Former
Mayor Of Minneapolis.
St. Paul. Jan. 30.-By a decision
handed down ln the state supreme
court Friday, Former Mayor A. A.
Ames of Minneapolis, who was under
sentence of six years in the state peni-
tentiary for accepting bribes from fall
en- women to secure them immunity
from arrest, regains his freedom, and,
possibly, is freed from further prose-
cution on these charges.
The appeal Of the defendant rested
its main contention on the invalidity
of the indictment upon which DR..
Ames was tried, maintaining that it
charged the commission of more than
one offense, and that the state should
have elected upon which charge it
would rest it's case This contention
the majority Of the supreme court
overrules.
The supreme court is unanimous in
reversing the judgment of the Hen
nepin county court, but arrives at this
conclusion by different methods. The
majority opinion, which was written
by Judge Lewis and concurred in by
Chief Justice Start and Justice Col
Inns, holds that the indictment is valid,
but that there was "a failure of proof
to sustain the offense charged" The
minority opinion, written by Justice
Lovely and concurred in by Justice
Brown, holds that the indictment it,
self was invalid because it alleged
more than one offense.

An Incident OF the Dying Days of .
Famous Man.
A great Statesman, one who had all
but touched the presidency, lay dying
within the walls of IN old brick man.
sion on the eastern side Of the square.
where had elected to sit.
1t was my first afternoon in the
square, when hand organ began to
grind forth its turgid strains before
the brick house. I looked and listened,
expecting with each moment that some
one would issue from the house of
doom and drive the dinmaker away.
Instead, bright black man, evidently
a butler, came and stood on the porch.
An hour went by before the repertory
was exhausted. Then the black man
gave the organ man a dollar, and the
music and the man went quietly their
ways.
II should think it would disturb your
MASTER" said to the black guardian
Of the porch.
HE likes it." he replied. "The organ
comes by his orders. The doctor says
it does him more good than the medi-
cines"
For a week went and sat on my
bench and heard the organ grind. The
programme never varied. The concert
lasted an hour. Then came the dollar.
and the music ceased.
For full week attended these con-
certs in the square. Then came a day
when the hand organ did not appear. I
looked at my watch. I was surprised.
The concert was ten minutes overdue!
What should delay him? Surely that
easy dollar had Its charms!
Then, as though in answer to my
question, my eye caught black flut-
ter at the door. 1t was knot of Grape.
