ing white citizen ever adopted by the
Creek tribe of Indians Unlike the
other nations, the Creeks were averse
to the adoption Of whites and the rec
ords, SO far back as the Creeks have
records, show the adoption Of but five
persons of white blood
The law Of adoption in the Creek
nation, unlike those Of the Cherokee,
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations. is
very strict. To adopt citizen re-
quires a vote Of the council and de-
cree of the Indian Judge Of the tribe.
In the other nations there is a gen
eral law which provides that white
person, male or female. by taking up
residence in the nation ard marrying
an Indian by blood, according 90 the

have been no adopHons in any Of the
tribes since the Curtis act, passed in

tions have caused more trouble in
the final settlement of the Indian es-
tates.
The five citizens adopted by the
Creeks were Captain F B. Sewers,
Christopher Relcher, David b Whit
low. Shelton Smith and Sophia spauld-
ing. All were adopted before the
Civil war. Sewers and Belcher came
to the Indians as licensed traders and
married Indian wives. David Whit
low was a missionary. Shelton Smith
was a blacksmith and worked among
the Indians, repairing their crude
weapons of war and chase Captain
Sewers has acquired property until hs

tribe. The story of her adoption reads
like a romance. Her father was nam

WAGNER'S HOME.
now the Great Composer Came to
Live In Bafreuth.

How Wagner came TO make Bal
reuth his home is rather interesting
story. He had long dreamed or pos
sessing q theater where his compost
tons could be interpreted to suit MS
ideas. but had little hope That the
dream would ever be fulfilled. When,
however, in his period of greatest de-
preston and loneliness he formed the
friendship of the late king of Bavaria
it seemed suddenly as If all things
were possible to him. In 1867 his royal
protector instructed the celebrated
architect, Gottfried Semper, to prepare
the plans for the theater, which was
to be built at Munich. Through po-
litical and professional dissensions and
jealousies the town counXl Of Munich
refused permission for ~ erection OF
the theater there In 1871 Wagner
visited Baireuth and, after taking
counsel with the celebrated bankers,
Messrs. Fenstel and Gross, decided
upon a site in that city. The munich

the financial advantages which would
accrue, presented Wagner with two
plots of land, one for the theater and
the other for his own house. The lat
ter was Immediately built, and in 1872
Wagner removed his family from
Trubchen, near Lucerne, to the new
home, Wahnfried The corner stone of
the theater was laid on his sixteth
birthday, May %, 1872. 1t was esti-
mated that the theater would cost
100000 thalers about $250,OO0, and
this sum was very largely raised by
Wagner societies throughout the world
1t was completed in 1876 and dedicated

Since then it has been the Mecca OF
the lovers of Wagnerian music from

that had just been interpreted by
Ysaye. Moved almost to tears by hi'
performance, Ysaye took his young col
