the little folks was given on Wednes-
day afternoon when little Merris Car

ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. r. r. Carroll, in
vited about fifty of her young friends
to enjoy the occasion with her.
The other little hostesses were Me-
riss little cousins, Leontine Ramsauer
and Christine Hannah, of St. Peters
burg.
The affair was in every detail very
charlniagly planned for the occasion,
the home OF her parents on South
Third street presenting a most ami
mated appearance from four TO six
O'Clock.
The games for the afternoon were
those that especially delight and
please children and were played on
the pretty lawn, and each child was
given Il pretty fan as a favor, which
pleased them very greatly.
The hCstessesf were prettily attired
in white dresses with white ribbons.
Those assisting the children in hav-
ing such a good time were the follow
| ing grown-ups: Mr.. and Mrs. Car
roll. Mr. Bittinger, Misses Adele Bit
tinger. Louise Harris, Florence Wa
tiers. Fay Cribbett, Mrs. Ellis and Mrs.

MURAT HALSTEAD.

World-Famous Journalist Dies In
Cincinnati.
One of the leaders in American jour
naiism for over half century and a
nun widely known as magazine and
editorial writer died In Cincinnati re-
Gently when Murat Halstead passed
away. He was one of the most noted
writer's Of the last half Of the nine
teenth century and one Of the strong
est tributes to his incislveness as q
writer was in 1889, when his nomina
ton by President Harrison to be Amer
lean minister to Germany was reject
ed by the United States Senate because
Of articles he had published charging
corruption to some members of that
body. In the Civil War Mr.. Halstead
personally reported many battles, be-
ing rated as war correspondent of
the first class. Later III the Franco
German war and also in the Spanish
American war he added to his reputa-
ton in that line.
For fifty years he attended and re
ported all Republican national cOnven-
lions, and in 1860 he was the only
newspaper man who reported all the

year. Some years ago he made an estI-
mate that for forty years he had av.
eraged writing more than 100000
words year, and since then his name
has appeared constantly in papers and
magazines at the he'd Of innumerable
articles.
Mr.. Halstead was born in Butler
County, Ohio, in 1929, and was reared
on a farm. AS youth he went to
Cincinnati and Joined the staff of the
Commercial in 1853. A year later he
purchased an interest for $1,000 and In
1865 became head of the firm. In 1853
he attended and described for the Com.
mercial the hanging of John Brown
and was in the reporters gallery at
Washington through the stormy scenes
that followed. Later he edited fine
Brooklyn Standard Union and since
then has been special writer. Mr.
Halstead was married in 1857 to Miss
Mary Banks and had seven sons and
three daughters. Four of the sons he.
came successful journalists.

The Choctaws and Chickasaws.
Together when history dawned upon
the continent, together when the white
man drove them past the Mississippi,
and together in the twilight Of the
tribes, the Choctaws and the Chicka-
saws are passing into the body polite
and the citizenship Of Oklahoma side by
side. These two tribes-now 70 per cent
Of mixed blood, and nearly all as
capable set of citizens as their white
neighbors-can hardly be dealt with in
separate stories.
The Chickasaws and Choctaws, both
Of Mobilian stock, lived in Mississippi
when De Soto marched across the land,
and the Chickasaws gave him some ter
rifle battles. When the French rose
into power in Louisiana, the twin tribes
disagreed. The Choctaws fought for
the French and the Chickasaws boldly
withstood the invaders. Several French
expeditions were defeated, a number OF
French officers were burned at the stake,
and the Chickasaws, allied with the
Natchez, threatened New Orleans Only
the courage of the colonists and tue
assistance Of the Choctaws saved Lou
isiana.
In later years the tribes grew friend
~ again, refrained from trouble with
the whites, and even fought the Creek
and Seminole for the paleface intruder.
This did not save them from exile, and,
about seventy years ago, the two tribes
totaling about 10000, were taken to
Indian territory. There they flourished
and grew rich, only to lose lands,
wealth and slaves during the Civil War.
Since that time they have climbed
steadily up again, and have intermixed
continually with the whites.
When the rolls were prepared for al
lotment last year, the Choctaws had
about 10000 full and mixed-blood men,
bers, and the Chickasaws about 5000.
These rolls must have been gloriously
swelled somehow, for the State census
of Oklahoma shows only about 17ON
Indians in the counties that once COM
posed the Choctaw and Chickasaw ma
lions. Nearly 10000 negroes and 1900
intermarried whites were also included
in the allotments. With the Chieka-
saws, and, it is said, retaining to the
last their sun worship and other
strange Aztec rites, live the remnant of
the Natchez, perhaps 300 souls.
1t has been repeatedly asserted by
army officers who have served in both
Indian territory and the Philippines
that the language of the Igorrotes is
Identical with that of the Mobilian In
dams, which would indicate that these
tribes came from the orient countless
ages gone by. There are many tribes
on the Pacific coast bearing the unmis-
taxable stamp Of Chinese and japanese
extraction, and others which have Gus
TOMS totems and tattooing methods
similar to the tribes of the Pacific
isles.

The Huntsman Kaiser.

Among the many trials that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has had to bear Is the
accusation that he resembles the EN-
peror of Germany. The fondness Of
both for hunting has been pointed out
as an example of the likemindedness Of
the President and the Kaiser. Stats
tics have recently been published
which cast light upon the hunting
achievements Of William II. They
make Theodore Roosevelt's occasional
excursions in search Of well-deserved
rest and few grizzly bears seem Sum
day school picnics in comparison. They
put the strenuous occupant Of the
White House forever In the class Of
milksops and mollycOddles.
The official statistician to the hunts
has bagged a total Of 1854 pieces Of
game in period of thirty years. Over
eighteen thousand pheasants were as
sasinated, and seventeen thousand
hares were cut off in their prime. One
can go on down the list of boars, rab-
bits, stays, ETC., until there seems to
be scarcely a variety Of bird or beast
that has escaped the imperial bullet.
The emperor even invaded the realms
Of Neptune, for we are told that one
lone, solitary whale persisted In su-
preme honor and agony. On one short

POLITENESs IN WASHINGTON.
A City of Leisurely Ways and Proud
Yet Courteous Manners.

City Of Leisurely Ways and Proud
Yet Courteous Manners.
Washington is bounded on the east
by the Capitol and on the west by the
White House. Between them flows a
restless stream Of sightseers. There
may be other districts of the national
capital worth seeing, but only a Wash
ingtonian knows 1t. The tourist has
time and strength only to hit the high
places.
In New York there are probably as
many tourists as in Washington, but
with this difference, the New Yorker
does not mind mixing with the tourist
class. In fact, If the tourist have
money and fondness for Broadway
and contiguous resorts, the New Yorker
is more than willing, so Mr.. Tourist
