to make the trip, was such a guide as the
new Mrs. Penheld could not have obtained

groom most complaisantly willing to en-

And then, what truly sensible way Il
would be to spend as much as possible of

Henry NJ. Hyde before his fall might

sure, never had patented phonograph on

popular songs. In the rapturous delight OF
that mechanical music the population of
Egypt even forgot to beg, which was
miracle indeed
The Penf1elds and their guests pro-
ceeded by steamship as far as the second
cataract and thence by the military rail-
road to Omdurman and Khartoum. They
used launches to carry them up the Blue
and the White Nile further distance Of
400 miles, so that In all they followed the
famous river 1900 miles toward its
sources.
The tour which began with their de-
parture from New York in December
brought them back to Upper Egypt In the
spring, when they made an excursion to
the oasis of Khargaz, which lies 125 miles
west Of the Nile and straight across the
African desert.
There were couple of reasons for this
bit of original exploration. One was that
Mr.. Goetschius, one of their guests, was
interested In the chances Of some excava-
tions whose fruits might be valuable to
the Metropolitan Museum Of Art. The
other was that whenever the happy bridal
pair had travelled previously, some large,
gilt-edged adjuncts Of civilization had
turned up to mar the landscape. That
hidden oasis was to furnish a retreat un-
spoiled by modern man.

The bridal trip they took is still the
marvel and the envy of all brides and
bridegrooms. Everybody supposed that

was, however nothing more than an agree
able overture. The two of them had an
enjoyable time in Europe, King Alfonso,
of Spain, coming to their rescue on one
occasion, when their auto broke down.
But the idea of the real, full grown

marriage. She didn't want anything to
upset her art. In some of her lectures
she declared she would not marry.
For many days and even weeks il re-
manned mystery as to the manner in
which the young bride and her fatherIy
looking groom met. They met for the
hrst time, 1t seems, in Kansas City, in
1900 at the Democratic national conven-
ton which nominated William Jennings
Bryan for the presidency. Mr.. Croker
became interested in the little Princess
Sequoyah's zeal in making her people
happier
From this time on the we'll known
Mrs. Martin w. Littleton became Cupid's
emissary. She had known the little prin-
cess for many years. When Mr.. Croker
returned from Europe recently she gave
him dinner at the National Democratic
Club. Miss Edmondson was one of the
guests and the former interest on the
part of the Tammany chieftain sprang
into friendship and love. And so it hap
pened that at the wedding Mrs. Littleton
was the most honored of guests. The
second most honored guest was Ethel
Marie Brown, prominent musician of
Dayton, o., who for many years has been
associated with the Princess in her art.
Big Chief Croker Immediately took his
Indian bride to his home in Florida. He =
could not have been more enthusiastic
and happy if he had been a young man
of twenty-one.

The Problem That Confronts
Richard Croker's Young In
dian Bride if She Would
Live up to Her
Preachings.

tOh INhlOHh5Ohf anu nO" MTS.
Richard Croker, twenty-three-y year-old
wife of the seventy-three-year-oId ex-
chief OF Tammany Hall-now what will
she do that she is married?
Il have been inspired by the example
OF Pocahontas, who did so much to make
the English understand our race" said
Mrs. Croker Immediately after her mar
riage.
Then there was Saccawagea, the bird
woman who piloted the Lewis and Clark
expedition 5000 miles and made 1t
success. I also find inspiration in TaIa-
hina, the Cherokee maiden who helped
Sam Houston to free Texas.
But it Is the dearest ambition of
every Indian girl to win a chief and |
have won the chief Of men,"
And now that she has won the chief
of men what will Mrs. Croker do? She
is, to begin with, wealthy in her own
name. With her marriage to Chief
Croker she has his many thousands to
draw upon. Will she become the first
woman of her race, interpret its beliefs
and ideals to the world and conserve its
wealth of primitive art and lore?
For many years previous to her mar
riage Mrs. Croker did original research
work among the Cherokee Indians She
lectured in many places on Cherokee
folk lore and customs. Two years ago
she went to New York to develop her
voice for concert work. She became
active in many enterprises and took part
in several entertainments given by suf-
fragists.
Miss Edmondson was a college girl.
having been graduated from Wisconsin
University. Later in Boston she went to
a school for expression. On numerous
occasions she has given dramatic eve
nings which have won her great renown
among a certain artistic circle.
She is a clever all around girl, fond OF
riding, canoeing and other sports. In
the summers she had a camp in Maine
where she taught girls to ride and row
and paddle. She is also a suffragist and
rode at the head of the Washington
Woman Suffrage parade and recently at
a mass meeting OF the Women's Political
Union she headed a corps of girl drum
mers who welcomed Mrs. Pethick Law
renee, of England.
The bride is beautiful girl, indeed.
She looks like an Indian when she is
dressed in her costume, but in street
clothes there is no one who would guess
her to be an Indian. Long braids of
dark hair. dark eyes and a tanned COM
plexion make her extremely attractive.
In the fall of last year she was en-
gagged by the New York Hippodrome.
She came on the stage on pony and
sang a solo,. After four or five weeks of
pony riding and singing Keetaw Kalun-
tuchy Sequoyah. as she was called on the
stage, was asked to go into the chorus.
Declaring. that her life was dedicated to
art and not to singing in choruses, the
Indian maiden left the stage and never
returned.
Croker was not the only one who
wanted to marry her. There were at
least two full bIooded Indians from the
West who asked for her hand and there
were several other admirers in New York
city. The funniest thing about It was
that Miss Edmondson was opposed to

The Chieftainess-Dowager of the Tam
many tribe is a Cherokee and direct de-
scendant of the great chief Seuuoyah
For Mrs. Croker this is making as proud
a claim as for an Englishman to an
nounce that he is descendant of Viii
liam the Conqueror or for a Frenchman
to claim the blood Of Charlemagne.
Whatever the name SequOyah MAY
mean to present Americans east of the

be estimated at high value. for in Indian
territory today there are many thousand
Indians and others with Indian blood in
their veins to whom the name Sequoyah
means as much as the name OF Washing
ton to the ordinary American.
Nearly all of the great and famous
Indian chiefs succeeded in entering their
names in American history solely by
reason of the skill. courage and ferocity
with which they fought the white men.
King Philip, CornplanteT. Red Jacket,
Osceola, Tecumseh. Sitting Bull, GeruL
nimo, and even Chief Joseph are chiefly
remembered by the trouble they gave
the United States army even though
traditions of eloquence and generosity
occasionally are added to the stories of
hard fighting.

alone among them all. never lifted his
hand against the white man. His fame
as chief rests almost entirely upon one
great achievement-he introduced not
only an alphabet and a written language
among his people but also printing.
The Cherokees when white men found
them were already living a settled and
peaceful existence. They lived in we'll

They were among the most highly civil

Sequoyah lived his early life as the
other braves, in hunting and fishing. He
was crippled one day in a hunt and then
after period OF heavy drinking he be-
came an expert in bead work and in
moecasin and metal manufacture. He
learned to read and write English and
then turned his attention to the Cherokee
language. He found that it consisted
of eighty-six distinct sounds and for each
Of these sounds he made a written char
acter and, behold, the Cherokee alphabet.
1t took him long time, however. to
persuade his fellow Indians of the value
OF his invention and many thought he
had gone crazy. Little by little the in
vention won its way and Sequoyah finally
was able to found schools in which his
method of writing was taught to the
children of the entire tribe. Later a
Cherokee Bible was printed in that Ian
guage and also a daily newspaper
The death of Sequoyah came in dra-
matte fashion. When he was more than
seventy years old he heard thst an on

SPORTING NOTES.

A young man named White, catcher,
made one baseball record last season
that may endure for all time. He played
with the New England league during
the season in "A games, yet he managed
to appear in uniforms in the New Bed
ford, Lynn, Portland, Lawrence and Fall
River clubs.
Out in Chicago hopes are pitched high
that the White Sox will be in the rum
ming for the American league champion
ship honors, providing that Ed Walsh
returns to form. Walsh has gone to
California to enter training and assures
himself that his arm is in as good con-
dition as ever. Examination shows that
he is in good physical condition but only
time can tell whether his arm is good.
Harvey Russell, last season with
Bridgeport in the Eastern league and
one of the leagues star catchers, has
signed to play with the Baltimore Feds.
He received an offer from the Feds and
later the Bridgeport club met the same
terms. Knabe doubled the figures and
secured his man.
Pitcher Eddie Summers, four years
ago one of the strongest factors in the
Detroit Americans winnings, is the lat
est to try the comeback stunt. He
says that he win show Providence in
the international league brand of ball
never seen before. He intends to return
to the major league.
