NEW YORK HAS FAMILY
OF CHEROKEE INDIANS

That New York's cosmopolitan pop
ulation includes a record-hreaking
family of Cherokee Indians develop
ed the other day when Chief LEIGH
eka and his squaw, Wood Dove, ap-
peared before a magistrate to COM
plain that the white children in their
neighborhood had pelted them with
snowballs and otherwise abused their
papooses. Upon inquiry by the mag
istrate, Wood Dove said she was the
mother of twenty-one children, four
teen of whom reside with their par
ents in Second avenue. The oiorr
children, it was explained, are taking
care of themselves "out in the land
where the sun sets" The chief keeps
a little store for the sale of Indian
wares. He says he is a son of Chief
Moccasin of the Cherokees, and that
his squaw's father was also a Cnero-
kee leader, Chief Marinqua Chief
Leicheka came here from Oklahoma,
and produced letters from Governor
Haskell of Oklahoma, and other prom
inent men to prove his good charac-
ter. Magistrate McAdoo gave orders
to the police TO protect the redskin
children from their paleface torment
ors, and now the papooses dwell in
peace in their Second avenue wig

LORD CAMOYS Is VERY
ATTENTIVE TO AMERICANS

Lord Camoys, who came over from
England to act as usher at the we'd
ding of Lord Decies and Vivien
Gould, has decided to hang around
New York for a month or two longer,
and in the meantime he is very at
tentive to a number of New York
bellies. Up to date his attentions have
not been entered upon any particular
young lady, but members of the
sporty set are offering even money
that when he returns to England he
will be engaged to some American
girl-possibly to be married His
lordship is only twenty-seven, has a
slender but athletic figure, big brown
eyes, aN cute little moustache, is al
ways smartly dressed, and altogether
is the sort of bally chap, don't you
know, who is calculated to attract IA
vorable attention of young ladies, en-
tirely apart from his title.

Sole survivor of the soldier escort
at the funeral of Abraham Lincoln
in Springfield, Ill, is A E. Robin
son, a resident of Spokane. who en-
listed in the Fourteenth regiment of
Iowa volunteers on February 1864,
at the age OF 16 years and served un-
til the close of the war. He is in
good health and vigorous and Is In

Born in Albion, ~ Y, on May II,

ment of volunteers of that state at

day
MANY LEADING STATESMEN
PASS BACK TO PRIVATE LIFE
Changes 10 Be Made i'm Membership
of Senate Are Greatest and Most
Significant in History of That Body
Nineteen Members Submit to In
evitable in Politics and Retire.

Washington, March AT noon to-
morrow the 61st congress dies, and
with it passes many veterans of Am
erican politics of the recent years.
There will be few slaps on the back.
a banquet or so, and the warhorses
of the days that were will step into
private life to make way for new
faces and new ideas.
Hale of Maine, senior in point Of
service, having been member since
March 4, 1881, remained in the ranks
to the last. Aldrich, whose service
goes back to October 8, 1881, passed
from the scene two months ago. His
health, it was explained demander a
change of climate. Burrows of Mich
igan, with fifteen years as senator;
Kean of New Jersey, Scott of West
Virginia and Depew of New York,
each with IL years, and of command
ing influence under the Aldrich reign,
retire to private life. Beveridge. the
brilliant progressive, will pass, at
least temporarily, after 12 years in
the senate. The changes will be the
most remarkable in the history of the
upper- house.
Nineteen members in all. three of
them democrats, will lay aside their
togas. The republicans include in ad-
dition to those already mentioned
Bulkley Of Connecticut. Burkett of
Nebraska, Carter of Montana. Dick
of Ohio, Flint of California, Piles of
Washington, Warner of Missouri and
young of Iowa. Young who serves
until March by appointment is in
deadlock at present by the Iowa leg
islature. Flint and Piles are not
candidates for reelection.
The retiring democrats are Money
of Mississippi, Taliaferro of Floriaa,
and Frazier of Tennessee. None of
them made serious efforts at reelec-
ton.
With the old leaders gone the SEN
ate will require a complete re-organ-
ization. The comparatively new pro-
gressives will step forward and the
whole aspect of the body will pe
changed. The republican majority
will be eight or nine so that every big
proposition practically will cause an
open fight. AS a result it is expected
that the next congress will be a lively
body from the moment of organization
to adjournment.

MILLION \ MONTH TO

be Loaned TO Settlers on Various
Projects.

Chicago, Ill, March 3.-What rec
lamation by irrigation means to the
country is strongly indicated by the
recent announcement of the United
States reclamation service that $48,-
100000 is to be expended during the
next four years in furthering the
work of the government in reclaim
ing sem-arid and arid lands in the
west. What an enormous amount this
Is may perhaps be more easily COM
pretended when it is remembered that
it averages an expenditure Of ST.
900, 900 a month.
While this expenditure would pay
for five battleships, it is in the case
of the reclamation service only a loan
to be returned to the United States
treasury and re-employed for recla-
nation work. The settler on a gov
ernment project has ten years IN
which TO pay for his land and water
while the returns under irrigation are
in many cases so abundant that one
or two crops will repay the cost. The
new markets thus opened are of great
importance TO merchants. manufac-
turers and financiers, causing them
to be greatly interested in the Ma
tionai Irrigation congress here De-
ccmber to 9.

He says: Carnegie entered the
armor plate business to make money,
not from patriotic motives and not
in response to a call from God. He
would have been more accurate if
he had said gold and the devil order
ed him to go into the business. He
charged the government six cents
pound for armor plate while manu-
factured steel sold not to exceed a
cent and a half. His conscience does
not even condemn his defrauding

JEWISH MOVEMENT
HAS HOLD IN LONDON

London has new synagogue for
the adherents of the Liberal Jewish
movement which seeks to promote
a Jewish religious union. 1t was in
augurated three weeks ago by ser
vice which differs from that followed
by the orthodox synagogue in that a
considerable proportion of English
prayers and hymns are used. There
il also an organ and the sexes are
not vigorously separated. The sup
porters of the movement have taken
the position with regard to the Bible
and the Talmud that they cannot re-
gard those books as verbally divine
ly inspired and as sources of author
ity to modern Jews in every particu-
lar. The Rev. Claude Montefliere,
who is the leader of the movement,
thinks that liberal Judaism demands
and justifies for the Jews of the west
an embodiment which is in accord
ance with western conditions.

ENGLISH PARLIAMENT MOST
EXCITING IN YEARS

One will have to go back twenty
six years to find a parallel to such
an exciting session of English parlia-
ment as is the present one. That was
when Mr. Gladstone changed his mind
and came out for Home Rule. The
next most exciting time was in 1908
when Joseph Chamberlain proposed
to abandon free trade. The resist
ance to the parliament bill will be
strenuous but the measure is expecr-
ed to be carried through the commons
early in May, without doubt. The
lords do not depend upon the king
to eXtricate them from their critical
position. They must fight their own
battle and they do not know how to
meet the argument that the parlia-
ment bill has received popular sane
ton and cannot be rejected.

Money I'm New Chink Fashion.

New York, March S-The new
short hair fashion among the Chinese
has been boon to the white BARRIERS
and to the barber schools in this city.
Nearly every queue in town has been
cut off since New Years and every
one meant from 40 to 60 cents for
some white barber. When a China
man decides to part with his pigtail
he goes the limit. He wants his hair
trimmed and done up in the AmeriA
can fashion, and none of the BARRIERS
of his race knows the trick so he
patronizes the white man. Short hair
being new to him he Is sensitive about
It and visits the barber every few days
to be sure he's looking right.
But the white barber's prosperity
won't last long for the Celestial tom
sors are going to the barber schools
and they are apt pupils.

Brands which sold last year for

This is due to the almost complete
