somewhere in the South Republicans public spirited enough to want to test in court the disfranchising acts adopt ed by most of the southern states, and wealthy enough to bear the expense or carving the case to the highest trl- bunal in the land. Some such man should go to the front and have tho matter fully presented to the Court
 Congress has no right to decide con stitutional questions, and this question is, as I have said, purely constitution al. For Congress to pass law limit ing Southern representation would not settle the question; 1t would simply be punishing the Southern States for do- ing something which has never been declared unconstitutional. At Phila- delphia. in 1900, there was an attempt made to force an anti-Southern resolu- tion upon the Republican convention but as Chairman of the Maryland dele- gation I went to the people who had presented it, and finally induced them to withdraw it.
 "So far the matter has not formally come before Congress in the shape ot a bill. A resolution introduced by Congressman olmstead of Pennsyi- vania, calling for an investigation or the whole question almost came to . vote a short time ago in the House, but was withdrawn by the author after had made a strong plea with him not to force the matter to a vote. The Crumpaoker bill has been agitated for some time, but iias never formally come before the House.
 Representative Mudd Is not the only Republican who is opposed to the re- duction of Southern representation in Congress. Congressman Watcher of Baltimore is another. These gentle men realize that In a state like Nary land. which is normally Democratic, would certainly be so without the ne- gro vote and their retirement would be as sure as negro's a negro, In the event of reduction of representation in that State which would itself be 8 punitive measure. as MT. Mudd says. because of the elimination of the negro vote3 by Democratic legislation. But MT. Mudd is mistaken in saying he in- duced the Philadelphia convention to refrain from taking action on the re- duction of Southern representation. It was Senator Hanna and President Me- Kinley who induced the convention to drop the matter after it had discussed it nearly an entire night.

Remnants of the Once
 Powerful Greeks.
TAe Descendants of the Famed ssRed Easlen Living on Small Farms In Baldwin, Monroe and
 Escambia Counties.
By wiII T. sheehan.

Mobile, Nov. 2i.-(Staff Correspond ence .)--A race is dying in the pine woods about Little River. The rem nant of the once powerful Creek Na- tion is passing in the woods and on small farms where Monroe, Baldwn and Escambia counties meet at Little River.
 Scattered over the hills and plains of pine lands are the descendants or Red Eagle" the war leader Of the Creeks and his followers. There are now no Indians of pure blood among them. There is none who freely speaks the tongue and none now to keep alive the old Indian customs. But they nurse the old Indian traditions and speak with pride of the bravery of William Weatherford, the @Red Eagle" of his tory and poetry and the deeds of his men when they met Jackson and his volunteers.
 In all Alabama there are few who know that a remnant of the Creek Ma tion lives in South Alabama, and have lived there from the time the power of the hostiles was broken at Horse shoe Bend They are in truth the rep resentatives of the ancient Alabamians Their history antedates the State his tory of the white man. They were leaders, warriors and controllers of tho 6IedlST part OL AidDdAnd lSEEltOIy fore the great adventurer De Soto marched hls mailed hosts through the State towards the grave that awaited him in the Mississippi.
 And today the race is slowly dying A hundred and fifty or more of the descendants of the Creeks are living the life of the pioneer farmer about Little River. It Is the white mans fife they are leading. It Is the white mans tongue they speak, and 1t Is the white mans. customs they follow. They have orly Indians traditions left to them, that and some of the racial character istics of their war like ancestors.
 Passing of the Creeks.
 In a remote quarter of the State the remnant of a dominant race Is near the end. The race Is not dying sudden ly or sharply. It is not passing out, by the death of one Indian following

TO CARE FOR COCKRELL
PRESIDENT WILL GIVE HIM CHOICE
 OF POSITIONS.
Possible that Judgeship of Court of S-Inima Wiu Be Most Acceptable to the IIissourian who
 Quits Senate.

washInrton. Nov 21.-Special.)- There has been a general welcome for the statement that President Roosevelt was anxious to make some provision for the retention of Senator Cockrell l in the public service after the expira- ton of his term on the fourth of March lnext His colleagues in the Senate
 would especially like to see the vet eran MissourIan we'll provided for.
 Senator CockrelI has been nearly thir tty years in the Senate and has cleaved SO closely to his duties in that body l that he has given no time to any other Ihusineas. He has maintained a resi- dence In Washington. and having had a IlarKe family, has hardly accumulated
 much of the worlds goods.
 As has aldeary been stated in these
 dispatches, a place on the Civil Ser | vice Commission likely to be made va Black to the Pension Bureau, 1t was I though would be open for Senator cockreIf He has been offered the place of Hecker on the Panama Canal Com | mission. Another suggestion has been | made that 1t can be arranged to make him one of the judges of the Court of Claims which sits in Washington, which would be better place than the civil service or canal commissioner l ship.
 The soIicitude for the future of the Missouri Senator Is eloquent of the gem eral and even affectionate esteem in which he is held among all who have
 known him.
 A little bit curious as an incident of this interests in the Missouri Senator is
 the fact that Saturdays Baltimore Sun contained above an article on Senator CoclSrell his name beneath picture I which Is unmistakably that of Senator Edmund W. Pettus, of Alabama. There is no resemblance between the Gulf
 State Nestor and the Missouri states

Brides Headdresses in Foreign COun-
 tries.


 The German village maiden goes to the wedding ceremony wearing a curl ous crimson erection upon her head. This Is generally covered with tinsel, gold and silver coins and dangling chains and Is rather an ugly kind of headdress But a wreath of myrtle. rosemary and white roses makes it look very much prettier, and 1t is no wonder that the happy bride is partic- ularly proud of this part of her we'd ding costume.
 Spanish girls generally choose car nations or pink and white roses for their wreath. flowers which are most becoming to their dark complexions.
 Many a bride adorns her hair with garlands made of gold or silver leaves instead of natural flowers. Of course these are not nearEs so pretty and are often much more cS.ly, but, then. <z1at does not matter if the custom of their native land demands 1t Besides, they never fade, and, if they are ex- pensive to begin, with, they can be handed down from one generation to another. In Norway they have a con venient way of overcoming the dihi- culty. It is always possible to hire a handsome silver wreath from the church for the sum of $5
 Many interesting religious and so- cial rites have clustered themselves around these wedding garlands.

 Cullman, Nov. 20.---(Special.) )---Robert l. Burke, the newly elected Probate Judge of Cullman County, received his commission this morning and at once demanded the office of Judge s. L. Full, Ter, the present incumbent. Judge Full Ter refused to surrender the office, hoid- Ing that under the law he had a right to hold until the third day of Novera- Der, 1905. MR Burke through his att toFney, J. B. Brown, filed today a quo warranto proceeding against Judge Fuller in the. Circuit Court. demanding possession of the office
 This seems to be the first case to come up in the State though several more are expected to develope In a few days. The law is very vague on the subject as to when the newly elected officials take charge of ofice though 1t IS the\ general opinion that the inten- ton of the law that officers take charge as soon as they are elected and ouali- ned. The quo warranto proceedings will be heard by Judge Speake in a few days and will be carried at once to the Supreme Court which under the law must give decision within fifteen days after the proceeding was begun. An interesting feature of the Cullnnan afair Is the fact that Asa B. Fuller son of Judge S l.. Fuller and the pre. sent probate clerk was elected clerk of the Circuit Court.
 In the light of the position his father has taken 1t is interesting to know just what he will do in reference to his own office. He has as yet made no demand on O. S. Roden. the present clerk.

 The descendants of William weather ford and his family connection form the larger portion of those of Indian blood, who have in this territory, In fact the tradition of the old days when the Creek nation was powerful and Illus tious cluster to no little extent about the deeds and the accomplishments of William Weatherford. who has been im- mortalized in poetry under the name of Red Eagle" It is possible that the remnant of the Creek nation Is now living along Little river, because Weatherford made his home near there, after his warriors had been irretriev- ably defeated at Horse Shoe Bend. He lived near Mount Pleasant, in Mon roe County as planter and a slave owner.

 The statement may we'll be consider ed true, for weatherford's father was white man and his mother had a strain of white blood in her.
 She was a member of that famous family of Indians, whose women bore the name of Sehoy and who became mothers of so many leaders. She was Sehoy half sister of Lachlan McGilliv- ray, who for his leadership and great mental gifts was styled ,''the Alabama TAlleyrand." His father was Charles weatherford Georgian who had spent most Of his life among the Alabama Indians.
