0T yOL. VII. BOTH ItlCll AND HAPPY. Present Condition Of The Clierokee I ii(li;ilis. The St Louis Republic. Taiii.kquaii, 1. T., May 31.?One of the saddest stories on reconl is the removul of tlio Cherokee from V their Eastern home some 50 years * V Gold had been discovered in Georgia and. there oxisted a general illofeeling among whites towards the Chofo'?fce8; and consequently the Indians had to move away. About 20,00, all told, men, women anduhil' dren, left the old nation at tue approach of winter. History rentes that the severity of the w&illffr, together with the number of old and firm emigrants, rendered them unable to make over 5 to 15 miles a a day. Before their long journey t ended, disease attacked them with frightful fatality. Many of them , lay down by the roadside and died. Finally the great caravan became a ly'Jnstrous funeral procession, the tQ-lth rate numbering as high as 20 / a day. \\ hen they arrived upon the threshold of their Western name, at that time a wildcrnes, over 4,000 p were missing, one fourth of the great exodus having left their bones' by the wayside.' After arriving here a government was established, and a majority of the tribe went to work to build homes anew, a very few resorting to tlia ohaRft fur n livnlihrmil 'I'lmit prospered until the beginning of the Civil War. when their country was to'ajly wrecked by the two armies. I After the war, commencing once ? more with that same indefatigable i energy that hud long been their principal characteristic, the Cherokees wont to work and re-established their government. From that time to now { their progress has been phenominal, } and to day the Cherokee Nation presents a scene of activity in agriculI y tural and stock raising pursuits \ much the same as is noticed in any / of the border States. This progress, of course, is due largoly to the whites, who have intermarried with the Indians to such an extent that a real Indian is hard to find. Many of the largo uumber of Cherokee girls now in Eastern colleges seeking the advantages of higher educational institutions received their early training in missionary schools. The Cherokees look with greatest . pride to their many bemvUful ybung i women. It would be an oxaggera f tion perhaps to any that the Cher rokees coum nave turnisnea as good a sul^bct for the silver statue at the World's Fair as did their parent Government in the selection of Miss Kehan. Thare are numerous Cherokee women who could wear the crown of lberty with the same grace and ease, and it is to bo regretted that no provision was made for the Cherokees at the World's Fair. Not a few of the women of the tribe are natural artists, and a display of their work at Chicago would have worked ' - wonders in the minds of those who through ignorance believe the Cherokees to be still living in the dark ages. Again there are numerous musicians, some of which are now making reputations in Eastern cities. Of the male population it need on I Abe said that the Cherokees. have pr^piced a gerat many distinguished men. A most happy event to the Cherokees is soon to take place in the payment of the money obtained for the Cherokee Strip. The whole amount will be $6,300,000. Each person, from head of family down to the suckling babe, will receive ? <(350; therefore a family of five will receive <(1,750. Even the negro citizens are included and will share equally with the Cherokees. It will be noticed that it nays to be a Cherokee. 0. A. E. Washington Letter. Our Regular* Correspondent* The gold question is again very much on top, the exportation of gold having.brought the reserve fund below $90,000,000, and the prospect being that a large amount will be required to meet the demands for the next week or ten days. Great pressure is still being brought to bear by the New York bankers to compel an issue of bonds, but it is having no apparent effect. A special meeting of the cabinet was held this morning to consider thi# nnestion and it war 7? ^ " " ? a^yery lengthy one. No announcement has been made, or is likely to be made for some time of any change in the present policy, although there are good reasons for believing there will be a change should the present demand for gold continue for any length of time to boas great as dur ing the past week. . While it cannot be stated as ? certainty it is believed by some lawyers that Seoretary Carj lisle nas authority under a section of the act of March 17, 1862 to issue _____ _ Icgul tender notes for the purpose of purchasing gold. The cabinet is said f A I ll I I t L' I hu t frlna ?? ? ? C I 4 tu viiiiirv Iiinv vino 1IIVIIIUM 11 It UU legal would be preferable to an issue of bonds. Those who chiton that the authority conferred bv the act mentioned still exists say that there is no l(mit other than the Secretary's discretion n the amount of legal tender notes that may bo issued to purchase gold*. Tjus method would meet the ' approiyt'l. of those who think an increase in tha amount of money ia circulation would bo yd- ! vahtngeous, and it could not be | claimed by those who profess to be in deadly fear of a depreciated currency that there would bo the slightest danger in that direction, as every dollar so issued would bo replaced in the Treasury by a gold dollar, provided, of course, that the gold could be obtained at par Your correspondent doubts the existence of the authority for tho issuo of legal tender notes by tho Secretary of the Treasury. The annual meeting of tho board | of lady regents of the Mount Vernon Association, which was usually in foresting this year, has just adjourned. According to the annual report of the superintendent 87,000 people visited the grounds last year. That number will he quadrupled this year by reason of tho electric railway from ! Alexandria to the Mount Vernon j grounds. From each visitor tho as- ' sociation exacts twenty live cents for admission to the grounds, and in addition, a steam boat company^which has for many years been monopolizing the right to land at the Mount Vernon wharf has paid nine cents for each passenger. This steam boat company has grown rich out of visitors to Mount Vernon, and until the electric railway began to cut into its traffic it charged $1.00 for a round trip Mount Vernon ticket, while it sold round trip tickets for a wharf on tjie Maryland side of the Potomac, almost directly opposite Mount Vernon, for twenty live cents. Now that the exclusive wtuirf nrivi ? leges uro not so desirable this steamboat company had the cheek to ask the huly regents to excuse it from paying that additional nine cents a passenger during the remainder of its contract. The agitation for the purchase of Mount Vernon by tho government, and its being thrown open without charge to all comers, seems to have temporarily died out, but that it will sooner or later he done is the general belief. Surely it is not just the proper thing to charge an admission fee to the home of George] Washington, althoughunder present conditions it is necessary in order to raise the money to keep the grounds in condition and the house in rnr.fiirs. Either many Congressmen are going to vote contrary to their talk or the administration is preparing a great disappointment for itself in regard to the silver question. It is stated with the greatest apparent confidence by members-of the administration that President Cleveland has assurances which make him certain that there will be no trouble in passing a bill for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman Silver law through both the House and Senate, as soon as Congress gets to work. This is directly contrary to what Senator Stewart, who claims to have >uado a canvas of the Senate, says. Can it be possible that somo of the Senators have been tolling the President one thiug and Senator Sewart another? Perhaps after all it^ is merely a game of political brag all around. Secretary Hoke Smith is now hearing a land case involving several million dollars worth of land in the state of Washington, upon which are some 1500 settlers. The land in question is claimed l>y the Northern Pacific Railroad Co. The record of Sec. Smith has been such that it is altogether probable that if there are any doubts in the case he will gire th? set tiers the benefit of thefh.

' v y - ''Be True to \ JONWAY s~ a A HEARTRENDING DISASTER. Collapse of Ford's Old Theatre in Washington. News and Courier. Washington, .Juno 9. Another tragedy, less national in fchuracter, but involving the loss of many more lives and much more human suffer-' ing, has stained the walls of the old "Ford's Theatre," in Washington, where Abraham Lincoln was asssassinated by J. Wilkes Booth in April, 1805and the horrors of the scetlo were by nd* means lessened by the knowledge chat a blunder, surely in this case almost "worse than a crime," had caused the death of from twenty to thirty persons at least, and inllicted mannings and injuries upon lifty or sixty more. The evidence found in the official records appears conclusive that as ag? as 1885 this building, which the Government purchased alter inncoins assination and used as an army musbum, J was officially proclaimed by Congress an unsafe despository for even ihe inanimate skeletons, mummies and books of the army medical museum, for which a safer place of stgrago was provided by Act of Congress. But notwithstaadiug tho fact that in the public press and in Congress also continued attention was called to the bulging' walls of the building and its darkness and general unstiit ability and nnsafcty it continued to be used for the daily .employment of nearly five hundrru clerks of the pension record division of tho war ollice, with a?jrefinement of discrimination, however, between what could he replaeed#aiul what could not he ?bo easily supplied. While the clerks werfTTrustod in the unsafe building the original records were retained in the substantial fireproof war depart meat building proper. So the comforting official assurance is given that, while thirty clerks may have been killed, tho pension records are all saved and uninjured. The building collapsed in tho midst of an ill-judged effort to remedy some of its defects. Tho moral of the disaster, if there is any, is omphai/.ed by tho fact that there are known to be at least two great Government buildings, tho printing office and the Winder building, annex of tho war department, each containing many more employees than were caged in tho Ford's Theatre deatli trap, which are in an equally dangerous condition. Tho hour of the disaster was very shortly after the departments had settled down for the days work. The workmen, whose operations under the building wore the immediate cause of the catastrophe, had been tinkering upon it for two hours or more. I,f the disaster had happened half tin hour earlier very few lives won Id hill vo been lost. There were four hundred and seventy-five persons, mostly (lovermen t clerks, employed in the bnil ding, and nearly all of these were at work when the building fell. An excavation for an electric light plant was being made in the cellar of the structure, a three story affair, and according to the best information obtainable the workmen this morning had dug beneath the foundation supports in the front of the building, weaknening them to such an extent that the walls gave way before they could he jacked. This explanation of the cause of the accident is the only ouo advanced, but it seems somewhat strange in view of the fact that the top floor gave way first. ( HASH CAMK WITHOUT WARNING. Those on the top floor wore suddenly precipitated to the floor below and the weight of the falling timbers and furniture carried the second and first lloors with it. Fortunately only the forward half of the lloors gave way. The outer edges of the floors and the rear part of the structure remained intact. The walls did not fall. THE NEWS SPREADS LIKE WILDFIRE. News that the building had fallen spread with lightening like rap idity, and soon 1 Oth street and the adjacent throughfares were crowded with people. Within, an hour the news was known all over Washington, and hundreds to the vicinity of the old theatre. Women appealed anxidusly to every bystander for information above some particular person, while men came with tears in their eyes and imploring besought police lines that they might obtain some knowledge of their friends and relative^ A general fire alarm was sounded a few minutes after the crash, and then all the ambulances in the city were summoned. TUB W^RK OF HKSCUK. Ag quickly as possible the poliece and firemen formed a rescue brigado and ready hands assisted them to take out the killed and wounded* In less than an hour about twenty five people bad been taken out, and every few minutes thereafter some still form would bo borne out on a stretcher from the build*ng. The police and army ambulances, % rour Word, Your Work, anil Til UR8DAY cabs, carriages and vehicles of every description were pressed into service for the taking away the dead and injured. All the hospitals in the city were utilized in caring fer the injured," and scores of physicians volunteered their services for this work. WIIAT UK N (HI A NT SAYS. (Jen. (Jrant received reports from time to time, and upon these lie based his hope and belief that the calamity would prove to be less in extent than had been at first feared. He says that the roll showed that the full force employed in the building numbered 511 persons. A mttnber of these were absent leave or because df illness; so that probably not more, than *100 or 450 persons were in the building when the crash came. Then, as only half of the lloors fell, the number of persons who went down was further reduced, and of those who actually fell many escaped with slight injuries or without harm. Dr. Shannon, of the personal staff of tho surgeon general, was in charge of the (ro\Ttnment medical oflicers, and every such otlicer was promptly ordered to the scene of the accident or to the various hospitals. The ambulances of the lied Cress Society rendered conspicous service. LEFT FOK TilK 1.A8T. Tho rescuing parties worked incessantly in the intense heat, but. mere was one part ot the rums left to the last, a few feet back of the front wall. When the day was far advanced there was still a largo quantity of wreckage which had not yet been explored. It is nearly in the centre of the section of the lloor that fell,/*nd flint fact led to the belief that a number of bodies would he found beneath it. It is out in the open space where no falling timber arrested in its fall might shield the unfortunates from tho crushing weight of the falling lloor. As jjthero seemed to he no hope of saving the lives of any who might have fallen there, consequently the efforts of the workmen W^ro first directed to exploring the sides of the building. A LARGER EST IM ATK I II AN (SEN. GKAN'l 'S. When the crash came there were supposed to be in the building 490 clerks, 18 mr.ssengers and 20 laborers, a total of 534 persons. The work of clearing away the debris continued from half-past 11 until threo minutes past 5 o'clock before another body was found. The work was being done in tho collar in the extreme front of the building when one of the laborers announced that "he saw a hand." Shovels and picks were immediately dropped and the debris was removed by hand. The body of the unfortunate man, who from his dress was evidently a clerk, was laying face down, with one arm doubled under him and the other extended. Tho back of his head whs badly crushed and his face was cut in several places. Tho body was removed with nil possible cure and3cntto the morgue to await identification. Tho total casualties, as near as can bo ascertained at this writing, nro as follows: Twenty-one (load bodies are at tho mhrgue and the emergency haspjtal and four more persons are reported whose names wero probably confused witn some of the bodies through physical resemblance. Two person whose names were included in tho earlier list of victims taken from the ruins escaped uninjured. The numderof the injured reported is about fifty, but many others, who were able to proceed to their homes, wero hurt moro or less badly Columbian Letter. l ilegulnr Correspondent.) The first month of the Columbian Exposition is over. While the attendance has been as largo as ob serving people predicted, it has by no means come up to tlio mark sot by the officers themselves. To them the result must be little short of galling, for their claims have been loud and in instances almost hysterical. What was the cause? The main reason is formed in the unfinished stuto of everything, from one end of tne grounds to the other. Another reason is formed in some of the actions of the officials themselves. On the first of May, it was given out with a great flourish of trumpets that the first of June would see everything done, "You can see a complete fair after the first of June/ said the directors. Can yon? Hardly. Not only is it incomplete, but frightfully so. One has only to step into the agricultural building to realize the force of this statement. Rods and rods of scaffolding extend in every direction, boxes and casings 11II up floor spaces and confusion reigns on every hand Of course occasionally an exhibit appears in a complete state, but the) are like oases in the desert.'

If so, why should they so confidently predict that such a result would be ' brought about?"

As the government is not up to such ca pers, it is not expected tliut blood will be more than knee-deep along Stony Island avenue. The directors are to figure out why it was so many people stayed away from Jackson park the first open Sunday. Not more than a third of those expected yielded up cold half dollars for admission. While fully 250,000 were looked for, only something liko 115,000 were on the grounds, of whom 15,000 bought tickets.

Do you, with your present information, favor the repeal of the Sherman silver law? 53. Do you favor an income tax? 3. Do you favor the repeal of the State hank tax? The World in reporting their answers says: Many of the answers deviate so far from plain "yes"' or 4<no. and involve so many qualifications, that no tabular statement would fairly represent the opinions they e <pressThe important facts shown are that to the first question: Do you, with your present information, favor the repeal of the Sherman silver law? there arc eighty-six Itepresentativcs who say practically "yos," while only eighteen say <vno." Of tho rest many who qualify their answer so strongly that they cannot bo placed in the affirmative column show plainly that their inclinations aro in favor of repeal. The sentiment of the lower house on that question seems to be overwhelming. The World had already polled the Senate on the silver bill, and on , March 0 last printed a table showing that that body stood for repeal 20. against repeal 28, non-committal 10. It will bo noticed that several .who wero non-committal then are now in favor of repeal. There seems to be no doubt that nearly two-thirds of , tho Senate will vote that way.

I... . . i: ._?! e I *j lilt) NIUVM MJII III OIUU* tricits to the medical science it has ^ become possible to vitalize the human head as a lantern. This, snys the New York Herald, was proved by 1 /r. Wendell t\ Philfips on Wednesday night before a meeting! of the laryingologica) section of the Ao.idc- * my of Medicine. 1 The electric;*. apparatus used is called a "head illuminator." It consists of a small incandescent globe and an electric light of thrce-candlo power and about as big as a grape. It is adjusted to t'no end of a rubber tube, which in appearance resembles a luad pencil, and through which the wires reach the globe. in demonstrating the properties of this bgbt, before the Academy of Medicine, Dr. Phillips called a small boy to the platfofm and placed the instrument- in his mouth. The boy closed his lips, all the lights were Hurtled out and then the light in the instrument was turned on. Immediately the boy's chocks bee time translucent, and every vein and imperfection of the skin stood out with distinctness. The. light also shone through the upper part of the face. "The beauty of this illuminator." said Or. Phillips, "lies in the fact > that it enables us td*read certain conditions of the head which could only l?e learned heartofore by operations or prolongs. If the light shines through one side'of the face and not the other, we know the dark side is affected. "It also throws a light through the bones of the face and discloses formations of the bones <vhich, under other circumstances, could only be ascertained by drilling into the bones. "Placed in the corner of the eye, the light shines up through the cavity in the frontal f>one just over the eyebrow. Catarrhal diseases aro thus located." J lore the Doctor placed a small section of a rub or hose over the light which ho held in his hand at the time. "Now notice how this shines through my thumb,'' ho continued. "Well, if there were a splinter there it could he accurately located. Any disarrangement of the small hones of the hand c<m\l be ascertained in the same manner. "This practical use of electricity in surgery is not new, however," added the Doctor. "Tho first man to u'ulizc it was Voltolini. In re- * garil to these n?wer instruments which I have about me, I have just added improvements. "Here is a search light," said Div i Phillips, taking up a curven piece ; of nickel made to lit over the head 1 mill pmftp down between the brows. Between the brows was si lens which stood out like the glass in a bull'seye lantern. It was connected by wire with si strong battery. A switch was turned and si bright light shone out from the apparatus like a star on the forehead of a ballet dancer. "This light,' said the physician, "shines into stud down the throat of a patient who is being examined for throut troubles. This latter exami) nation can also be performed by Jthe insertion of a small electric light the size of a pea. "There is another instrument, consisting of a flexible tube with si small l?mp sit the end and connected with a battery. The patient swal- \ lows this lamp and when it reaches the stomach it shines throng, so diseased organism can bo plainly read from the outside The circulation is visible and an abnormal development stands out like a mole on # a person's cheek.'' ; / With but little care and no trouble, the beard and mustache crtn bo kept a uniform brown or bUek color by using Buckingham's Dyyffor the I whiskers.
