Supreme Court Decides Against the
Whites Who Married Cherokees.
Washington, Nov. C. Tho Supreme
Court of the united States today af
firmed tho decision of the Court of
Claims In tho case of Daniel Redblrd,
tho Cherokee Nation and others vs.
tho United States, known as "tho
White Man's Case." Tho case In
volved tho long-ponding claims of be
tween 2,000 nnd 3,000 white persons
to participate in the distribution of tho
land and funds of Cherokee Indians
becauso of the mnrrlage of white men
to members of tho tribe. Tho decision
wns fnvorablo to the Indians.
Tho Indinns strenuously resisted the
claim, contending that thoy had never
by law recognized right of property
on account of Intermarriage. In pass
ing on tho cases decided today, tho
Court of Clnims held that tho tribal
lands nro not communal lands, but
thnt whites who acquired citizen
ship by .marriage prior to 1875 have
equal Interests as Indians. 'In tho
cases of mnrrlagos Into tho trlbo since
that time, lt wns held that no right
of property had been ncqulrod except
by those who had paid into tho com
mon fund tho sura of $500. Tho Court
of Clnims also held that white hus
bands of Cherokeo women, who havo
abandoned their wives, hnvo forfeited
all rights as Cherokeo citizens, In
cluding that of participating in tho
snlcs of Cherokeo lands.

CINCH ON YELLOWSTONE.
Major Pitcher Recommends That Com
petition Be Established.
Washington, Nov .5. According to
tho annual report of Major John
Pitcher, Acting Superintendent of tho
Yellowstone National Park, the mo
nopoly enjoyed by the Yellowstone
Lake Boat Company for tho transpor
tation of tourists from upper Geyser
Basin to the Thumb is becoming a ser
ious problem. Major Pitcher has rec
ommended that competition be estab
lished In some way, or that tho stage
lines bo permitted to operate their
own boats, In order to give their pat
rons the choice of boat or land trans
portation to tho Thumb.
Tho Yellowstone Lake Boat Com
pany charges $3 a head for tho trip,
which is 18 miles' distance. Its fran
chise expires July 21 next. Major Pit
cher emphasizes his recommendation
of lnst year that tho garrison at Fort
Yellowstone bo increased to a four
troop or squadron post.

"Yes, I cut myself, but that wasn't

the change fell out of my pockets and
ono coin rolled under the bed. I

badly. It waa a counterpane that my

Tho new Marlschal College nt Aberdeen, Scotland, which has Just been

Edwnrd during the quarter-centenary celebrations of the University of Aber
deen, of which Mnrlschnl College nnd King's College now form a part Tho
new Marlschal Collogo is said to be one of the most beautiful college buildings
In tho world. Practically the whole sldo of ono street was razed to mako
room for it and among tho houses demolished wns the once handsome man
sion in which Lord Byron and his mothu. spent some years of poverty while
the poet wns attending the Aberdeen grammar" school.- Mari-whal College was
founded In 1503 by George Keith, fifth Enrl MarlschaLof Scotland who ...
born In 1553, and who died In Dunottar CasUe In 1023. Dr.' George Campbell
sthe celebrated author of "The Philosophy of Rhetoric," was at ono time at

The story of tho origin of tho mod
ern postage stamp is tho tale of a lit
tle deception practiced by a serving
woman in a little Inn in a remote Eng
lish country mauy years ago.
Rowland IIIH, then postmaster Ken-
eral of his majesty King George IV.,
was doing tho Hnroun Al Raschld act
In rural postoillces. He had stopped
one night at the little Inn, which, In
tho typical manner of English inns, had
Its ale served by a protty barmaid.
Tho postman, entering, announced a
letter from Australia for tho wench
and said the chnrgo upon It amounted
to a shilling. The bnrmnld took lt In
her hands, aud eyed both sides of the
pnper, which had couio hnlf around
tho world, most wistfully. Then, win
ing her eyos, sho returned lt to tho
postmnn with a sigh, saying that Bhe
was too poor to pay tho charge.
uowlaua Ulll pitied her distress ami
himself advanced the shilling. Tho
girl had said; "It la from my poor
brother In Australia, whom I haven't
Been for years."
When ho told hen Bho was froo tn.

and he had devised a system to cor
respond without expense. They agreed
that wheu either received a letter ho
or she was to handlo it fondly, while
protesting Inability to pay the charge,
and after reading tho secret notations
to return the letter to tho postman.
Rowland Hill went back to London
and devised the scheme to compel tho
payment of the postage before send
ing tho letter In the mall. Thus from
a poor girl's cheating the government
of England out of n shilling was bora
tho modern postage Btamp.
