CHARGES AGAINST STUART
Commissioner Green Has Conference
With the President Concerning the
Complaints.

Washington. October 4.-Commis-
sioner Greene. of the Civil Service
Commission. had a conference with
the President TODAY regarding the
complaint made sometime ago against
Captain J. E. B. Stuart. collector of
the port at Newport News. Va. of
violation of the civil service regula-
tons. The complaint was investigated
by the civil service commission and
early in September a report was made
to the President or it. 1t appears that
soon after Captain Stuart assumed the
duties of his office he dismissed sew
eral employees on the ground that
there was not sufficient work to keep
them employed. He reduced two di-
vision chiefs. Edloc Morecock and E.
N. Eubank to the rank of inspector.
It was alleged in the complaint that
Captain Stuar had been actuated by
political motives as all of the men af-
fected by his orders were democrats.
The President has ordered that More
cock and Eubank be restored to their
old rank. and that when additional
men are needed in the collectors office
those dimissed shall be employed IL
they desire their former positions.

A STRANGE HAPPENING
How n Church I'm Eastern Carolina
Was Moved by n Tidal Wave.

A few nights since. Judge W. b.
Council, Judge Fred Moore and several
lawyers and newspaper men were
gathered in TIE clerks Office at the
court house, Judge Council waiting
for the hour of 10 to arrive to poll
the jury which vas out on a capital
case and had been unable TO agree up
hat time. In the course of the con-
v%ersation being carried on by those
present, Judge Moore told Of a ie-
culiar thing that happened in The
small town of Swans Quarter. Hyde
county, some years ago. He prefaced
his remarks by the statement that the
happening of which he was going I'D
speak might not be regarded as an
actual fact. bur he said some of the
best people in the town of Swans
Quarter vouched for its truthfulness
and that recently he asked a promt-
lent lawyer. who was familiar with
that section Of the state. II what he
had heard was true and he said ii
was.
The story related was as follows:
Some years ago the Methodists iiv-
ing at Swans Quarter decided TO
build a church and made a strong
effort to purchase a certain Tot. The
desired lot was owned by a man who,
for some reason. did not care TO dis
pose of ii and after making many Ct
forts to purchase the same. the COM
mittee appointed to purchase a lot
and have the church erected, secured
a site about 800 yards from the n
originally desired.
At length the church was completed
and a few 6avs later Ii was 10 be
dedicated. In the meantime a sever
storm swept over the little town AMI
a small tidal wave also swept over
a portion OF il. The newly erected
church was taken from its foundations
and when the water subsidized was left
uDon the lot on which the members
of the church lad originally desired
thai it should be built. The location
of the church on h lot was even
the same as had been. decided upon
had the committee been able TO pur-
chase the desired site. The owner of
the property no longer refused TO
make a Iced but said he would not go
against an act of providence. A deed
having been secured. the foundations
were placed under the buildings ana
1t stands where it was placed by he
tidal wave.
Soon after this church was dedicat-
ed and the question came up as TO
what the church should be named
One member suggested that IL be CALI
ed Alabama Methodist church. as the
word Alabama in the Indian tongue
means here we rest" Another mem-
Der suggested that 1t be called Prov
idence Methodist church. as IL was the
hand of Providence that caused IL TO
be placed weber it was. This mem
ber's idea was adopted and the church

OLD INDIAN PIPES.
Each Weather In a Stem Represented

It reed scarcely be told that in the

SAN. If one doubted the record OF
the war eagle feathers, the warrior
then showed the scalps Of the enemy,
which were kept as sort or sacred
proof of his word. Such pipes were
used only on occasions of peace and
war. Speaking roughly, the best pipes
of eastern tribes were in nodded clay,
the best of the western tribes i'll State
pipe stone taken from the famous quar-
~ west of the Mississippi. Before the
great buffalo and antelope hunts, Wien
herds of game were driven into pound
or an incloSed area Of snares, 1t was
customary for the Indians to VILE the
incense of Precipitation to the s. Its OF
the animals about to be slain, explain
ing that only the CC;ire for food con-
PEELED the Indian to kill and that the
hunt was the will of the Master OF Lie,
or Master of the Roaring Winds who
would compensate the animals in the
next world. The pipes used for this
ceremony usually show the figure OF
man in conference with the figure OF
an ANIMAL Others show the figures of
Indians with locked hands. This typl-
ties q VOW of friendship to be tent
mated only by death 1t was usually
between men, but sometimes between
a man and a woman, in which case the
plat0nic bond not only preclIded, but
forbade, the very possibility of mar

Indian carvings and woven work are
not without meaning. Fighting Mistah
could read a legend where we saw
nothing but bizarre markings. There
were the circular lines, hollow down,
meaning clouds; the cross. meaning the
coming of the priest; the tree, a type
of peace with its branches overshad-
owing the nations; the wavy line sig
nifying water: the arrow. war. The
ordinary Indian can read q tribal song
