Leaven,yorth Team Defeafed.

Kansas City, Nov. 26.-The Tigers OF
the Y. NJ. c. A. won their first game OF
the season. defeating the five from the
Leavenworth Y. M. c. A. by the score
of &c to 20. Before the game had pro-
crossed very far it was only a question
of how large the score would be. In
the second half the Tigers put in two
new men and this helped them very
much. There was a noticeable lack OF
team work on both sides. On Deem
Der 9 the Tigers will play the K. G. A.
C. five in the association gymnasium.

been heard from either H. G. McClung

opinion is general that they went to-

carefully, though no one has been found

TWO GIRLS INDIAN ANCESTRY.
Basis of Claims that Secured Them
Valuable Tracts of Land.

A romance that has come down
through several centuries Las recent
ly developed as the result of the
Dawes commission awarding a1lot-
ments of valuable land to two ST.
Louis young women, the Misses Jes-
sic Mae and Blanche Hall.
1t was necessary in the cases of
the Misses Hall to trace their ances-
try Enthusiastically to an Indian parent.
The romance that has developed be-
gan when their great-great-grand-
father came to America as a French
voyageur.
Thomas Condray was a member of
wealthy, aristocratic French fam
lily. His health failed early in life,
and the trip to America was advised
by physicians and finally agreed to
by alarmed parents.
He came with the view of return
ing to France after a few months,
but beautiful Cherokee maiden in
terrupted his plans; he paid court to
her, married and ever afterward liv-
ed in America with his Indian wife
and children.
Through Florida he had drifted into
Georgia, and there met the Cherokee
girl, whose blood still courses suffi-
GENTLY in the veins of these two ST.
Louis young women to entitle them
to equal rights with the full-blood
tribesmen of to-day.
The ancestry was traced directly
by the Dawes commission, and upon
their investigation of the alleged
rights of the Misses Hall was estab-
lished their title to the land. They
have 600 acres of as valuable land as
IS included in the domain of the five
tribes. The young women are but
1-16th Indian blood.-St. Louis Globe

Come co the mother, when she 1eels,
For the first time. her frst-born's breatn'
Come when the blessed seals
That close the pestilence are broke,
And crowded cities wall its stroke
Come in consumption's CHASTITY FORM
The earthquakes shock, the ocean
storm;
Come when the heart beats high and
With. banquet song and dance and
wine
And thou art terrible; the tear.
TIE groan, the kneII. the pail, the bier,
And all we know. dream, or lear
OF agony, are thine
But to the hero. when his sword
Has won the battle for the free.
Thy voice sounds like prophets WORD,
And in its hollow tones are heard
The thanks of millions yet to be-
Come when his task of fame is wrought:
Come with her laurel-Ieaf. ood-bought;
Come in her browning hour-and then
Thy sunken eyes unearthly light
To him is welcome the sight
OF sky and stars to prisoned men;
Thy grasp is welcome as the hand
OF brother in foreign land:
Thy summons welcome as the cry
That told the Indian isles were nigh
To the world-seeking Genoese.

And orange groves. and fields of balm,

ROSCOE COMBINES BIG FEE.

Advocate Lays His Complaint Before
Charles O'Conor and Gets Answer.
1t is said that one day when Roscoe
Conkling was beginning to attain some
measure of success he dropped into
the Office of Charles O'Conor of New
York, then one of the leaders of the
bar.
Whats the trouble?" asked the lat

floor

worst insult 1 have ever received

jected to my fee.''

arson and put in some tremendous
work for him. He was convicted at
the trial, but we couldn't help it, and
l took the case to the superior court
and we lost there, then on to the SUI
preme court and that affirmed the con-
vfction and he has been given ten
years. Now, my fee only amounted to
$4,000 and the scoundrel actually has
the audacity to grumble about it, say
ing it's too high. What do you think
of that for impudence?''
WELL said O'Connor slowly, "of
course, you did a lot of work and So
900 is not big fee, but to be frank
with you, Mr.. Conkling, my opinion,
founded on mature consideration, is
that he might have been convicted for
less money"

Grants Lack of Imagination.

On one occasion Gen. Sherman, in
discussing the difference of tempera
ment in military men and the effects
of military movements upon them,
said that Gen. Grant had so little i'm
aginatiOn that he could look unmoved
upon appalling scenes.
Il remember when our military was
moving down troops by thousands
and shells were exploding all around

that ! was frightened half out of my
wits, though 1 might not have shown
it in face or actions. turned to Gen.
Grant and saw him gazing calmly
upon the awful work of destruction
and wondered why he did not change
his position. He remained intentIy
watching the battle, giving orders
from time to time. when suddenly a
shell burst near US, scattering men.
horses and gun carriages into frag-
ments. I expected we'd both be
killed, when the general coolly took
cigar from his pocket, lit it, and
said: 4 think we'd better move back
few PAGES. 1t seems to be getting
rather hot here"
Gen. Grant had no love for war.
He said this repeatedly. When
Charles Sumner, during a conference
on the Alabama claims. insisted on
preposterous damages from Great
Britain or immediate war, Gen. Grant.
with much seriousness. said: do
you know, Sumner, what war means?
If you'd seen what 1 saw at Shiloh

would never want another war. 1

Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, who left
leg on the battlefield of Gettysburg.
says: 81 don't recall any JOY on go
ing into battle. My feelings were of
anxiety that my orders should be
properly carried out. The sense of
responsibility in a battle overshadows
all other feelings Personal danger
is never thought of-only danger to
the movement and the army. Joy
comes at the end, if you win a vic
tory. l remember quite well the feel
ing of exultation when we had won"
In reply to question Gen. Sickles
said that he did not know just when
he was shot; he was aware of it a
few minutes later, when he discov-
cred his boots were full of blood and
his inability to move his leg.

Two Figures of War Time.

'sTo me-" said the major, there was
no more interesting figure in the ST.
Louis convention than Major John
Warwick Daniel, Senator from Vir-
ginia- His crutch was to me a re-
minder of the day when he received
his wound. He was serving on Gen.
Jubal A Early's staff, and things
were, as usual. going against the old
fellow, when Daniel, sent to carry an
order to one of Early's Brigadiers.
found things in disorder and led an
impetuous charge to regain a lost
position. He was shot through the
thigh, and the wounded leg withered
while the young staff officer of eight
cen grew. Daniel doesn't look like
the dashing young officer of 1863 who
made the dash on our lines, but the
one short leg tells the story.
Among the picturesque onlookers
at ST. Louis was DR.. Mary Walker.
Tho for forty years has been regard
ed as a joke by the American people.
I remember the doctor well. as she
appeared in the army. In 1868 Score
tary Stanton gave, her the appoint
ment of assistant surgeon of yoIun-
teers and ordered her to report to
Gen. Thomas at Chattanooga. Thomas
suspected that Stanton sent her west
to get rid of her, and he ordered her
to report to Suanton's friend. Col.

her to report to Major ]. T. Holmes,
