The Chickasaw Legislature has
passed a law which is intended to stop
white men from marrying Indian wo-
men. by taxing them $000 for a mar
riage license.
There are about ten thousand full-
blooded ndians in the Chickasaw
tribe, while the others are about fifty
thousand in number, and are half and
quarter bloods, and among them are
many squaw men. These squaw men
are white men who have married In-
dian women and settled upon Indian
lands. This practice is :not to the lik-
ing of the full-blooded Indians, but
they were powerless until recently.
ft the last tribal election the full-
bloods, for the first time in twenty
years got control of the council. Since
then they have made life a burden for
the hialfbreeds and squaw men. Many
laws have been passed detrimental to
their interests, but the most effective
action of all was taken «last week,
when the price of a marriage licence
was raised from $50 -to $600. This is
applicable only to white men who
would marry Indian women. Consid-
h:o=wever, that the average
Chickasaw girl has tribal property to
the value of about $3,000, the price of
a marriage license may not yet effect
the shrewd white speculators who
have been marrying the Chickasaw
belles for revenue only.

There is a hygenic way of dancing
as well as of doing other things. A
dancing teacher says that to make a
good dancer it is necessary to breathe
properly. No one will dance grace-
fully who does not throw out the
chest and take long, deep breaths and
a long step. .
There is a wealthy, stylish, pretty
woman living at one of the big New
York residence hotels who has wet-n
a hoop almost ever since she can re-
member. S-he has them made for her
now, small ones, and no one would
imagine she wore them, but they are
there just the same. She is a plump
woman, and her idea is that she is a
little more satisfactorily and modestly
dressed with the crinoline.
A woman physician says she believes
rthat the first and most important step
in education should be a knowledge
of fundamental physiological laws, an
ignorance and disregard of which bring
about conditions of body which model
or prevent entirely a perfect perform-
ance of the duties of life or an enjoy-
ment of its pleasures. Rules for
health and self-preservation are given
out by workers in many lines of socio-
logical work among the 'poor. Such
physiology, the doctor believes, should
be taught'thoroughly4not the {plumber
.of bones in the human body, but a
general knowledge of the laws by
which .it is governed. ;

You forgot all about

You watched the turnstiles like the

Company. Your first query after a

inquiry ' Vhat's the score?’ The pub-
lic has begun wondering if the sport
itself is not a secondary considera-
tion and if—since you take pains to
advertise it so thoroughly—your over-
whelming desire is not to get hold of
their quarters and their half-dollars.”
The “rowdy ball" 'bugaboo will be
once more 'leI up to terrorize the
magnates. This in spite of the fact
that the Board of Discipline appoint-
ed at the St. Louis meeting last spring
did not have a single ens-2 brouaht
before it during or after the season.
several of the club owners have ex-
pressed th-emscIVes as being in favor
of abolishing the board. President
.Soden, cf Boston, the dean of the
magnates, favors its retention. He
thinks its elfect has been salutorv.
Ilanlon, of Baltimore, and Kerr, of
Pittsburg, are outspoken in their op-
position to the Board of Discipline or

ulatin of affairs which concern the

pom any increase in the powers and
jurisdiction of :be present board.
The system in vogue up to last sea-
son, of fining the players, meets with
strong opposition. President Del-Inns
Robinson, of the Cleveland Club, who
once took a case to court of a line llll-
posed on one of his players by an um-
pire, says: “I will always fight the
proposition to have an incapable U.l';~
pire line my players for objecting to
his poor decisions. As the rules now
stand the umpires have plenty of au-
thority to (liSi-ipline the plat-tars. with-
out takiug money out of their neck-
Oils."
It is believed that the failure of the
Cleveland club to yield profits in the
past five years has been directly due
‘to the policy of Frank Robinson, who
has taken in» steps to suppress Tc-
‘beau and his ruflianly ball players.
The patrons of Cleveland have been
represented as being disgusted with
their team's tactics, and the fact that
the games have not been patronized
even when the team stood high in the
race is taken to mean that the cranks
of the Forest City have not been
shamming.
A WELL-KNOWN ACT RESS.
Mrs. Annie Ycamans Indulgcs in Some
Reminiscences.
Mrs. Annie Yeamarns. who has been
on the stage more than 50 years, and
is now 60 years old, contemplates
writing a volume of reminiscences.
She has had some interesting experi-
ences during her long stage career.
“I was born in the Isle of Man,” She
says. “and am very proud of being a
Manx woman. My mother was Manx
too. but my father was Welsh. They
emigrated to New South \Vales when]
was a baby, and I did not leave Aus-
tralia until 1865. I married an Ameri~
can. a New Yorker, and I have lived
in the United States most of the time
since 1868, so long that I seem to be-
long right here.”
Her father an actor, she was drilled
in stage work from her earliest youth.
At the age of 10 She went on at Syd—
ney. At 15 she joined a circus. mar-
ricd a circus man, worked summer in
the circus and winter in the Sydney
stock company. Dialect being her
forte. especially the Irish, the Scotch.
the German and the Lancashire. she
was always in demand in the winter
season. Having been a dancer to be-
gin with. circus manoeuvres were not
difficult for her. “I did everything,"
she said. "I rode in the entree. That
was side-saddle, when the horses and
performers went through quadrille
and other dlflicult things. I did ‘mc~
nage’ work—jumping fire, bar fences
and that. I did ‘princlpal’ work, jump—
,ing through paper balloons and such
things. I had ‘charaoter’ and ‘double’
acts, just the sort of things you see
at all circusee, only that I Was with-
out a specialty in the sense that I at-
tempted each one. We traveled a
great deal. There was a lot of Work
to do. and after a time I toted my ba-
bies along with the rest of the para-
phernalia. But somehow it never
seemed very hard.
Afiter settling in the United States
in 1868. Mrs. Yeamans sent for her
father and her mother. with whom she
had left her two eldest children in
Australia. They came to New York
and settled there, a family of stage-
folk. save the Manx mother. “Though
she, dear old darling! was just us‘in—
terested in plays and players as any-
one could vbc.” says this 60-year-old
daughter, dutifully.
Since then the mother and grand-
mother bas died, aged 87. so that long-
evity runs in the family. Mrs. Ycamnns
has also lost her husband, her father
and her second daughter. Emily. "I
have laid them all away; tihere are
just Jennie and I,” says the clever old.
actress. and tears come behind the
spectacles, while the firm old mouth
grows moo tremulous for speech.
Mr. H. B. Plant, the railroad mag-
nate. bids fair to succeed in making
Tampa. Fla, the great winter sport-
ing center of the South. The coming
wheelmen’s meet will be a far greater
event than that of last February at
the lalur place.

To Clean Black Silk.
When a thrifty Frenchwom'an wish-
es to clean black silk, she brushes it
thorough] r and wipes it with a cloth.
Then, after it is free from dust, she
lays it flat on a board and sponges it
with hot coffee which has been strain-
ed through muslin and freed from sed-
iment. The silk is sponged on the
right side. allowed to become half dry
and then ironed on the wrong side.
The coffee removes every particle of
grease and restores the brill-iancy of
the silk without giving it the shiny
appearance or the crin-kly and papery
stiffness which results from beer, or
indeed from any other liquid except
ammonia and water, which last does
not freshen the color and gloss of the
silk as coffee does. The silk is much
improved by the process, and the good
elfect is permanent. .
Silk should never be ironed with a
bot iron put directly on the silk. Al-
ways lay thin wrapping paper, such
as is used by our best dry goods stores
over it, and iron through the paper.
When stitching thin silk, or, indeed
any goods flimsy enough to draw in
the machine, lay paper over it also and
stitch through. The paper will tear
away easily along the. line of perfora-
tions made by the needle.
Present Day ,Lack of Gallantry.
During the- past few years life in
the great centres of population has‘
witnessed a falling off of many of the
little gallantries of men to women.
The entrance of the gentler sex into
the labor market as a. competitor of
man has tended to blunt the chivalric
feeling so characteristic of our fath-
ers. Says the Chaperone Magazine:
“Little attentions mean much to a wo—
man. and they have lacked the small
,courtesics of life due to themselves
from the opposite sex so much and for
no long that they are trying to make
-themselvcs believe that they can do
without them. act as if they did not
expect them. but they do. They are
longingr for the days of their grand-
fathers. and the men who lived in
those times. The old saying that
everything will come back in seven
years has failed miserably in this
case, and it is a serious matter. We
have wondered what would become of
our women: But what has become of
our chivalrous, courteous men?”
One Way to Cook a Chicken.
An excellent way to cook and serve
a chicken is thus: After cutting the
chifiken open'down the Pack pound the
breast bones with a Wooden mallet to
flatten them a little. Lay the bird in
a shallow ,baking tin with some slices
of salt pork, and place the pan in a
hot oven. Pour a little salted water
into the pan and frequently haste the
chicken with it while it is in the
oven. Let it remain until about hall
cooked. Then 1:.ke it frOm .the pan
and place it upon a broiler over a clear
fire. Broil the under side of the
chicken. and then turn it ~and cool;
the skin side to a delicate brown.
When cooked place it upon a heated
platter. sprinkle it with salt and pep-
per and pour some melted butter over
it. Scatter chopped parsley over the
whole. A chicken cooked in this
manner has all the delicate flavor of
broiling and will be more thoroughly
and evenly cooked.
