CHIEF C0E8 EAST
CHIEF PORTER GOES TO WASH.
■NGTON IN INTEREST OF TRIBE
WANTS A HAND IN PENOINC LEGISLATION
Will Prevent, if Possible, Any State-
Hood Bill Effecting Creeks—Warns
His People Against Signing Any Pa-
per or Making Any Contract
MUSKOGEE: Pleasant Porter, prin-
cipal chief of tile Creek nation, has
'o Washington. D. (\, where he
will remain several weeks. The pur-
pose of the trip is to get in touch with
legislation now pending before con-
gress and to prevent, if possible, the
passage of any bills which he thinks
will be detrimental to the Creek na-
tion. One of the bills to which he is
opposed is the granting of statehood
to Indian Territory before the tribal
governments expire in 1900. Chief
Porter thinks the passage of any such
bill would seriously interfere with the
tribal governments and will do all he
can to prevent it.
Before leaving Chief Porter wrote
a circular letter, of which copies will
be sent to all members of the Creek
council. In this letter lie reviewed
the work of his office for the past
three months, and of the disposition.
If any. that has been made of the bills
passed by the recent Creek council.
The trouble which some of the allot-
tees have had with unscrupulous land
dealers is dwelt upon at length by him
and through the council members he
cautions all members of the nation to
use great discretion in transactions
affecting their land. Regarding this
lie says:
"I would earnestly warn the people
through you, against signing any pa-
per or making any contract of what-
ever kind respecting their lands, eith-
er lease, rent or sale, unless they are
fully conscious of its contents. It
would be infinitely better for our peo-
ple to retain their land, even if not
so much profit accrues to them, until
they become better acquainted with
i he laws governing the use of their
land. It may be admissible in some
instances for our people to make a
sale of a portion of their land, but as
a rule the policy of retaining it is by
for the safest course to pursue."
Second Chief Motey Tiger. of Ok-
mulgee, will be in charge of the exec-
utive office during his absence.
PLAN TO BAR NEORO VOTE
Gorman's State May Follow Example
of Southern Commonwealths
ANNAPOLIS, MD.: In the state
/senate Senator Wilson introduced a
bill, the acknowledged purpose of
which is to eliminate the negro vote
in Maryland. The bill provides for
the submission to popular vote of a
constitutional amendment which limits
the right of suffrage to adult male citi-
zens of the state who belong to one
of three defined classes, and the reg-
isters of voters are directed to refuse
tlie registration of all others. These
classes are:
First. Those who can read a see
tion of the constitution of the state
which the registers shall submit o
'them and give a reasonable explana
i lion of It.
Second. Those who were, prior tr
January 1. 18!)C>, competent to register
under the laws of this state or any
other state.
Third. Lineal descendants of those
qualified to register and vote under
the preceding section.
The bill was referred to the commit-
tee on constitutional amendments.

eral merchandise at Lamont, have fail-

GOVERNOR WRIGHT SWORN IN
Became the Head of the Philippine
Administration
MANILA: Governor Luke E. Wright
and Vice Governor Henri* C. Ide were
inaugurated February 1st There was
an imposing demonstration, including
a brilliant military pageant, about 300
troops being in line.
After taking the oath of office. Gov-
ernor Wright delivered his inaugural
address. It was a straightforward
speech dealing with the most impor-
tant interests of the islands. He in-
vited attention to the improvements
which had been accomplished in the
Philippines under American rule, and
declared his intention of adhering to
the principles of the Taft administra-
tion. He urged Americans to establish
cordial personal and business relations
with the Filipinos, who must consti-
tute their chief customers. In conclu-
sion, Governor Wright asked for the
sympathetic co-operation of nil classes
to whom, he said, were assured equal
opportunities lor advancement.
Gold is being electrolytically re-
ined in the Philadelphia mint.
Tto Lease to Santa Fe
WASHINGTON': Senator Long from
fhe committee on Indian affairs, re-
ported favorably without amendment
the Bailey bill permitting the Kiowa,
Chickasaw & Fort Smith Railroad Co.
to sell and convey its railroad and
other property in the Indian Territory
to the Santa Fe Railroad company and
thereafter to sell its railroad and oth-
- property to the latter road.
Governor Ferguson has accepted an
Ration to address the live stock as.
ation at its annual meeting at Ok-
ma City, February 23. 24 and 25.
Sofa Pillow*.
The new soft pillows are now being
made of very gorgeous and rather
costly materials, silk velour and gold
cloth being really the latest thing.
These are heavy and wear well, so
they pay in the end if one does not
become tired of the same cover. Gold
braid is used for finishing and narrow
cordings of velvet are frequently used
along the edge. The cloth of gold is
a dull shade, suggestive of bronze, and
the design is a handsome novelty, but
not really practical for everyday use.
Leather designs are still handsome
for the den and are delightfully dur-
able. but not at all appreciated as an
article intended to promote rest. Ori-
ental designs are most attractive and
are quite inexpensive and are made
with very little work. The heavy
linen stamped with odd conventional
designs make up very prettily for a
really useful pillow, while the plaid
ginghams and other wash fabilcs are
still holding favor for the couch which
is used for the siesta.
Useful Pin Cushion.
The convenience of a pin cushion
Which can be hung at the side of a
mirror or in some similar position is
self-evident. A novel and useful one
can be mare from a large-size doll's
parasol. To get the best results one
of some bright-colored silk should be
used. It must be closed and the cov-
er tacked to the stick at each rib;
then each of the sections becomes
separated from every other and can
'be fitted at the top and stuffed either
with bran or wool wadding picked into
bits. When the cushions are slipped
into place they can be tacked firmly
into position and the parasol further
ornamented with bows of ribbon tied
on wherever fancy indicates. To
make the best foundation the parasol
!should have a hooked handle by which
ilt can be hung, but should such not be
obtainable a ribbon loop can be at-
tached to a handle of any sort.
For Morning Wear.
Pretty and attractive house Jackets
deserve to be numbered among the
essentials of life and add both to the
comfort of the wearer and her charm.
.This one includes a becoming wide
collar that is almost a cape and is
suited to a variety of materials, but
i is shown in pale blue cashmere with
trimming of ecru lace. The fronts
are loose, but the back is fitted, so
| doing away with any unpleasant sug-
| gestion of a negligee, and the sleeves
are the wide, puffed ones of the sea-
son. To make the Jacket for a woman
of medium size will be required 3
yards of material 27 to 32 or 2 yards
Morning Jacket, 32 to 42 bust. '
44 incles wide, with 4V£ yards of lace
and lv\ yards insertion.
A May Manton pattern, No. 4523,
sizes 32 to 40, will be mailed to any
address on receipt of ten cents.
"Easy" Luncheon.
Here are some luncheons which one
may easily prepare: Thin slices of
veal loaf, tiny hot halting powder bis-
cuit, orange ice in glasses, vanilla
wafers, coffee. Or sandwiches of salt
rising bread with pressed chicken be-
tween cut heart shape, potato salad in
lettuce leaf, tiny cucumber- pickles,
crackers, sprinkled with cheese and
heated in the oven; Plain ice cream
or fruit salad and devil's food cake.
Or thin sliced bread and butter, chip-
ped beef, radishes, olives, hot waffles
and maple syrup, coffee. Or hot mush-
room, oyster or chicken patties,
minced tongue sandwiches, Neufeha-
tel cheese sandwiches, hot tea, water-
cress and apple salad, whipped cream
seasoned with a spoonful of rum,
macaroons, candies, coffee. Or fruit,
bouillon, panned chicken, sweet potato
croquettes, drop biscuit, olives and
radishes, grape and orange salad, ice
cream, assorted cakes, coffee.
Beauty in Fine Linen.
Fine linen really presents a study
In art nowadays, while as to costliness
one might squander a small fortune
on a comparatively meager household
equipment in this line. The linen
Itself, so fine and sheer and silky as
to delight both eye and touch, is
adorned with Arabian, cluny and
filet laces, the antique, square mesh
styles being particularly desirable for
combination with this material. A set
comprising lunch cloth and napkins
is made beautiful with drawnwork and
Is banded round a center of plain
linen. Delicate shading is < tfected bv ]

means of the drawnwork. Here and
there upon it flowers are tossed—
roses, clover blooms, chrysanthemums
and tulips. These have filmy centers
of drawnwork, giving a most graceful
touch of lightness. All the decoration
is hand-wrought, the work of humble
peasants in Germany, who surely
must have labored at it for very love
Sectional Petticoat.
The petticoat made with detachable
flounce has many advantages, It al-
lows the use of clinging materials
above the knees where such are desir-
able, and of silk or any preferred fab-
ric below. It makes possible the
snug habit back in combination with
a generously flared flounce. Withal
it is economical as
one upper portion
can be made to
serve' for several
flounces, so allow-
ing change of color
and appearance
with the minimum
of cost, or of sev-
eral washable
flounces to one
skirt, the flounces
always being the perishable portion.
I his very excellent model combines
stockinette with taffeta, but various
combinations can be made of silk,
mohair, cambric or any other skirting
material can be used; or, again, the
skirt can be made suitable for the
thinnest gowns by the addition of a
straight flounce of plisse silk or net
over the circular one of silk.
The petticoat consists of skirt,
flounce and band. The skirt is cut in
five gores and is without fulness at
the back. The placket is made at the
left front seam and the upper edge
can be finished with a belt or cut in
dip outline and underfaeed as pre-
ferred. Both the band and the flounces
are circular, the former slightly, the
latter generously and at the edge ot
the flounce is a narrow gathered frill.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is, for skirt 2%
yards 21 or l',a yards 30 inches wide;
for flounce and band 6 V* yards 21 or
3% yards 36 inches wide.
The pattern 4635 is cut in sizes for
a 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 and 34 inch
waist measure.
Bridal Fashions.
Brides are wearing the plainest of
dead-white satin gowns at the altar.
These are generally cut en princess,
with some beautiful lace employed for
the empiecement and sleeves.
Lace veils are more worn than tulle.
The flowers for this occasion a"e
white roses and myrtle; a sprig of
orange blossoms is generally mingled
with the flowers of the wreath. These
are worn rather low on the forehead,
the hair being pulled well forward
and pinned here and there over the
flowers to prevent that heavy regular-
ity of the line of white that 1* some-
times so trying to the prettiest and
youngest of faces.

$10,000 For a Flower J
Comfort and Economy.
It Is in the construction of dainty
lingerie that the clever amateur can
show her individual taste and talent.
And here it is that sale remnants can
be utilized. A length of pretty silk or
satin, with a little nun's veiling, can be
turned into the coziest bed or dress-
ing jacket and perhaps trimmed with j
a dainty collar taken from an olil
blouse. The kimona is a charming
pattern for the flannel dressing gown, \
and very little trimming is required !
on this beyond a piece of dainty em
broidery or lace at the neck, and tu ;
edge the wide sleeves.
Latest in Sleeves.
More sleeves of evening coats are !
made, with the deep cuff and the full
drooping putt above than in any other j
way, but th6 flowing sleeve rather
short filled in with chiffon or lace
ruffles is better. There may be a nar
row cuff at the wrist on the broad
hem. One of the latest ideas is to i
have a broad hem of velvet seven or
eight Inches deep just at the bottom
without stitching or any finish, ex- |
cepting folds or bands of the goods |
that fall over at the top.
THE MAN WHO KNOWS IT ALL.
| The man who pretends to have a
j 'borough speaking acquaintance with
every known subject under the sun,
and is imprudent enough to endeavor
to make people believe everything he
says, is described in different ways.
Some of his friends have formed these
opinions of him:
The ice man—He's nipped!
The gambler—He's bluffing!
The contortionist—He's twisted!
The plumber—lie's not on the level!
The spiritualist—He's in a trance!
The engineer—He's full of hot air!
The conductor—He's off his trolley!

The flower pot was like a toy. The
moss on it would not have made a
teaspoonful. Out of the moss two tiny
letses, each less than a half inch long,
peeped. They were variegated leaves;
their right halves were green and
; their left halves white. Pot, earth,
leaves and all, this plant would have
slipped easily into a man's waistcoat
pocket, says the Chicago Record-
Herald.
! And yet $10,000 had been offered
for it. It did not jveight.au ounce.
There was nothing to it but two tiny
leaves upon a stem loss than an iuch
long. Yet, it was worth $10,000.
It was an orchid in the collection of
I Mrs. George B. Wilson, of Philadel-
phia. Mrs. Wilson's orchids are said
to be the finest In America—some day
.lie finest, in the world. The little
plant was a cross between a Cattleya
I aurea and a Cattleya lablata. It was
two years old, and It would be live
vears more before it would liegin to
bloom. But thi- was- the only olvhlfl
lu the world with leaves Irilf green
and half w hite, and therefore. Sanders,
the English collector?, seeing it in
November, said:
"I will give you $10,000 for it."
lint Mrs. Wilson's gardener replied:
He buy all we can. but we never
sell."
Mrs. Wilson lives at Forty-third and
Walnut streets, Philadelphia, says the
New York Tribune. Ten years ago
she bought the orchids of Erastus
Corning, ot New York—40,000 plants,
which Mr. Corning had been forty
years in gathering. She engaged for
her gardener Alphonse Perlcat, who
had been head gardener at the orchid
farm ot Baron Alphonse de Roths-
child ot Paris, and she sent off. with
a roving commission. Henri Ba'rrauft:
a skilled orchid hunter. For the last
ten years, thanks to the daring and
the industry of Harrajtlt. and thanks
to the patient art of Perlcal, her coi-
led ion has been growing greatly. It
is practically a collection that repre-
sents fifty years of work. It numbers
20,000 plants, over 2,000 of which are
unique, with duplicates nowhere in the
world, ami it Is worth (as Krastus
Corning spent $100,000 on it, and as

Writing from Lake Placid, a Phila
delphlan spending the winter in the
Adlrondaeks thus describes his ex
perience with the thermometer at 4"
degrees below zero.
"We have just been having the cold
est snap which even this Arctic cli-
mate has experienced Within the ment-
or) of the 'oldest inhabitant. Re
centlv the record for the year was
reached- -40 degrees below zero at my
place. 41 at other places, and 44 at one
cold spot at the other end of the
village, where the ground Is low.
"We made a mighty struggle to
, prevent things from freezing up
in tie house, but all In vain, I
looked at the thermometer at half-past
eight, and seeing that it registered 24
below, ive made preparations; wrap-
lied the pipes, even near the kitchen
stove, with blankets, etc., kept the
lires going until late, and though every
door Is double atitl every window has a
-torni sash, we were frozen in the
morning solid.
"Well, we melted snow to get the
water to boil the kettle and ilo such
washing as we hail to do. and the
breakfast was late. This is tlm kind
, o{ weather we have been having Ior
tt'n days; not quite so cold, but very
near it: 22 below early in the evening
and from 10 to 20 below right in the
middle of the daj.
"When there Is a wind with that
sort of temperature liesh and blood
simply can't stand It. I am consider-
ed the roughest or the tough about
here because 1 began to stay out Id
the roughest weather right from rin
start In October and have Kept, it up
without a break; but when yon come
up a hill with a powerful mountain
breeze front the northwest blowing

down to 15 below, there is but one
result—your face is frozen. I don't
care who you are. The lumbermen
have been forced to knock off. anil
they are in the sheltered, thick woods.
"My mustache has frozen in bed
half a dozen timos. as we have two
windows in the room open where I
sleep, and they haven't been put down
day or night since we have been here.
It is a bit strenuous, but. I tell you, It
it the finest Ihing in the world. But
you should see the clothes we have
