Breaking in On the Stage.
Taylor Holmes Strenuous Experience
in This Direction.

Up at Chase's this week will be found
Taylor Holmes, and IL is doubtful
whether any vaudeville artist of the
monologue brand ever had a more try
ing experience in trying TO break in on
the stage. Holmes started out in Michi-
gan as a private jester by which is
meant that he appeared at dinners and
other like functions without guests
being aware that he was hired talent"
From that he drifted 10 the regular
parlor entertainer, and in Michigan his
manager ran across a stranded the
atrical company. the members of which
in return for being taken "out of hook. 8"

young at the time. and made his first
venture as a boy tragedian in DIR
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde The season
lasted bet a short time, for the man
ager escaped with the receipts. and
Holmes went on to Chicago. where he
became connected with dramatics and
incidentally met William Archer, who
was in this country writing up the
American stage for the Pail Mall Ga
zette. of London.
Archer suggested that Holmes return
with him TO London, as he believed
there was a field for him there. Mr.
Archer was going West from Chicago,
and Holmes started East on his way to
London. He only reached Boston. how
ever, and there he was stranded. He
tried several times to get a hearing in
New York. and after four successive
failures. managed TO get on because the

AS a result OF the decision of the
United States supreme court that the
federal law against the selling OF
liquor to Indians is not valid the au-
thority in such cases has been trans
ferred from the federal to the county
and state officials. The validity of
the state lnw is said by local attorneys
to not be in any way affected by the
decision, as the state has full power
to legislate concerning Indians, just
as It has regarding minors, habitual
drunkards and other classes
The state law as It reads makes It
a crime for any person to sell spiritu-
Gus, malt or vinous liquors to any In
dian. or half breed, and provides pen
alties as follows: imprisonment in
the county Jail for no less than two
months nor more than six months, or
a fine OF not less than 81 nor more
than $500.
AS there Is no city ordinance now
IN force upon the subject. 1t now lies
entirely with the district attorney and
the sheriff to prevent the sale of IL
quor to Indians. AS these officials or
their deputies are always here, It will
be a much easier matter for them to
handle the matter than 1t has been
for the federal officials, with no dep
uty here. However. 1t is the general
sentiment that there should also be a
city ordinance on the subject.
The following is a summary of the
supreme court decision, as given in
the advance sheets of the court re-
ports, just received by Haley & Low
ell.
I. An Indian allottee on the re-
ceipt of his first patent under the
act OF February s, 1887, GA Stat. at
l.. SSS., Chap. 119), must be deemed
within the provision of section six,
of that act, that upon the compile
tion of said allotment and the patent
ing OF the lands of said allottees,"
each allottee shall have the benefits
of, and be subject to. the laws of the
state wherein he resides. in view of
the further grant of citizenship which
that section extends TO every allottee
and of the fact that the issue of the
final patent provided for by section
five, was to be delayed for 25 years,
when II was to be issued to the first
patentee or his heirs.
2. Congress was not given the pow
err by the commerce clause of the fed
eral constitution TO penalize by the
act of January 80, 1897, (29 stat. at
l.. 5O6, Chap. 109), the sale of liquor
within n state to an INDIAN to whom
an allotment had been made under
the act of February S, 1887, which
grants the allottees the privilege of
citizenship, and gives them the bene-
fit thereof, and requires them to be
subjct TO the civil and criminal laws
Of the state where they reside; since
this emancipation from federal con-
troll is not affected by the fact that
the statute provides that the Indian
title shall not be alienated or encum-
bered for 25 years, when a final pat
ent shall issue, and stipulates that the
grant of citizenship shall not impair
their right to tribal or other property.

home of his daughter, Mrs. F. H.

Washington county, and lived there
over so years, and died there and was
buried there in the Catholic grave
yard, and his grave is marked by
tombstone, which my father placed
there, and which gives the date of his
birth and death. He died at my
fathers in the year 1866 or 66. He
was Sc years old.
Ny father was the only son Of
Touissant. His name was Louis, and
he died ~ years ago at Rich
