participation in the frauds through
which the Indians were deprived of
their property and the bills seek to
hold him personally liable for the in
jury thus inflicted. He has not an
swered to the merits in single case,
but all pleas filed by his attorneys are
purely technical. and necessarily, dila-
tory in effect. Mr.. Mott, attorney for
the Creek nation, and myself. have
many times urged a hearing on the
merits of the cases, and l have per-
sonally proposed several times to his
attorneys of record that they file an
swers in the cases SO that a hearing
might be had upon the merits and
cases disposed Of These suggestions
have never met an affirmative re-
spouse and the result is that the cases
have taken the regular course on a
heavy docket.
I'VE have announced several times
in open court and otherwise that we
are ready for an immediate hearing in
any and all suits filed. This has been
done with view of obtaining a speedy
adjustment of the controversies and
in order to give any person charged
with a primary liability an opportun-
ity to acquit himself of such charge
IL possible without delay. This course
could have been pursued without any
violation of ultimate rights, as Juris-
diction over the parties and subject
matter can not be waived in the fed
eral courts; but for reasons probably
sufficient unto them ,the defendants
have not approved it.

President Roosevelt Gives Out a Let

Washington, Oct 3-President
Roosevelt today gave out for publica-
ton a letter received by him from
W. L. Sturdevant of st. Louis, in
which the writer declares that Gov

entirely misleading. The text of the
letter follows:

Governor Haskell's letter of date. Sep
TENDER 80, the following statement:
Eyes, 1 believe / am a defendant
as to certain government townsite lots
in one of nearly HOOD suits that you
have had brought against as many
different honorable and high minded

politics for the purpose of Republic

was your sole motive for having those
suits brought; and charge you with

there is any merit in the petition filed

Trading for a Wife.

He says he would like to trade with

last. 1t was a startling proposition, in
deed. For a moment we were both too
breathless to comment Finally my
husband yielded to his impulse for
amusement. and, smiling at me, he
replied:
ASK him what he will give for her"
He says six ponies, lieutenant"
"Oh,tell him she is worth lots more
than that"
He will give you IL ponies for her."
My husband again replied that he
would not trade for anything like that
so the Indian kept raising his bid. He
offered 20 ponies: then 20 ponies and a
squaw. Then finally 20 ponies, a
squaw. and papoose. At length
wearying of the nonsense, my husband
nodded his dismissal of the subject

the apparent holding out for a higher
price constituted a trade when the final
offer was not rejected. He appeared
satisfied, but soon signified he wished

French Economy.

"a man doesn't have to go to Paris to
learn something about the economy of
French cooks said a janitor. "All he
has to do is to get a job like mine in
a house occupied mostly by French
families and he'll learn some astonish-
ing lessons in the art of saving. Up to
two months ago 1 worked in a build
ing of that kind. So far as attending
to the garbage was concerned, I had
the easiest time of my life. There was
practically no garbage. The people
lived well enough, / guess; anyhow
they received packages from the
butcher and grocer, but they never
seemed to throw anything away. About
the only thing they didn't eat was cof-
fee grounds and potato skins and to-
mato cans, and there was precious Ut
tie waste of even that Where / am
working now the families are all
American. That is where the fooo
goes to waste. The people In tnat
house throw away enough provisions
every day to feed all those French
families week."-New York Times.

The latter looked grave, and expressed
a fear that the Indian, in the belief
that he had made a trade, might cause
trouble when the bargain was not
kept. My husband assured him there
was no agreement and the buck had no
basis for such q claim. The lieutenant
explained that the failure to reject the
last bid and the presence of witnesses
to the haggling was all that the
Indian considered necessary to make a
binding affair of heart and honor.
OF course, terms had to be reached,
and my husband, for the only time In
his experience with the red men, or as
far as 1 know with any man, agreed
to compromise. He bought them off
and appeased their disappointment by

M'GRAW SPURNS OFFER.
Giants Will Not Listen to Chicago's
$4,000 Price for NIathewson.

New York. Oct. 3.-The Herald today
says that Charles W. Murphy, the own
er of the Chicago National league base
ball team, had offered $4,000 for
"Christy" Mathewson. the crack pitcher
OF the New YorkS, and that John T.
Brush and John ]. McGraw had
spurned the offer, became known last
night.
When, through an intermediary. Muir
ply and Frank Chance. his manager,
set price of $4,000 on Mathewson, the
New York management sent back word
that even his unprecedented price was
not haf enough to obtain the transfer
OF Mathewson. To make sure that
their message was thoroughly under
stood they added that Mathewson was
not for sale at any price.
Murphys offer of $50, 900. which was
made in good faith and with no inten-
ton that 1t should become public was
communicated to Brush and McGraw
through a business man in this city,
who is interested in thoroughbred and
other horses, and who has the conf
dence of both the New York and the
Chicago National league baseball mag
mates.
Murphy and Chance explained that the
Chicago team. which has been a unit
for so long. must eventually disinte-
CRATE and that the addition of Mathew
son to the Chicago roster would be OF
the highest Importance to them. Brush
and McGraw told the go-between that
it would be useless to open negotiations
for the sale of Mathewson, even at a
price five times greater than that once
paid for $4,000 Kelly" The tentative
offer of $4,000 was so badly frost bitten
by the New York management that the
intermediary reported back to Murphy
and Chance that there was not a chance
in the world for Chicago to get Mathew
son

Queer Languages.

Among the queerest languages used
by human beings are those of Come
ros, in the Canary Islands, and the
Cameroons of West Africa The Co
nero converses with people a mile or
so distant by whistling. using both fin
gers and lips so expertly as to express
all the signals required to make the
conversation ineligible. A CAMERON
man uses a drum for the same pur-
pose, it's surface being divided into two
unequal portions, so that when it is
struck it yields two different notes.
With a code not unlike the taps of the
telegraph system, the natives make
this drum express any syllable of their
language.-Chicago Journal

Manila, Oct. 3.-Rear Admiral Sperry

question with Governor-General Smith

she advises it as a training for young

"A young woman upon leaving col

banking is legitimate; it rings true
