THE CH sROKEE SITUATION.
Still a Dead-Lock in the Senate-
Tahlkulaii, I. T., November 29.- By
telephone to 3Iuskogce. The senate
met as usual this morning without a
quorum, and adjourned until to morrow
morning at 9 o'clock, a singular depar
ture, as the Nationals heretofore have
been meeting so regularly, and they pos
itively knew that tho Downings had
made up their minds to meet them at 2
p. m. to-day and organize. This was
done by the Nationals to wait until some
of their men, who were absent, got in,
and also to he tr from the special election
in Flint district, where a new councilor
was voted for yesterday in the place of a
deceased metnb.-r, who died about die
first week of the. council. Tho nationals
are confident of electing their man, as
Flint is a pretty s-jlid nation d, and has
been for the last four yuars, that party
always electing their ticket solid, so they
seem to think they will get this vote,
too.
As thi council now is closi on joint
ballot, if the downings were to get their
man in Flint it would certainly dampen
the feelings of the nationals, as two of
their nvmbers have died since the coun
cil convened, which has sjrt of disjointed
them, though they think they pan fill
both places with nationals again. A
sp -cial election has been ordered to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of lion.
B. C. Catcher, who died in this district a
day or two since. The downings propose
to make it lively for the nationals in this
district. The election is called for the
13th of December, and it will lie a hard
fougeht one, for if tiie downings gain
they get a right 6inart vantage ground.
"It is apparent that the nationals re
mit m such, a big hurry as they would
haye folks believe," said a clo" Im.n
this evening. Vou can say that we will
'.ie on hand promptly to-morrow morn
ing. We think we can break any web
the national may try to deceive us in."
The nationals still hold out that they
arc going to try and do tha right thing.
Capt. Smith se.id tlds evening: "I be
lieve some of the natoinals are as strong
ns ever in the notion to count ilaycs out,
but there are 6ome in their midst whom
the downings rely on to go by the law,
and wish to avoid trouble that would be
inevitable."

Rhea on Stag Costumes.
In a recent interview regarding dressing
for the stage, Mile. Rhea said: "I do not see
how an artiste can thoroughly enter into the
spirit of her role unless she be correctly cos
tumed. A queen's robe and gown give you
something of the feeling of a queen, do they
not? I know it is so with me, at least.
"When I put on a nun's habit I feel instinct
ively like crossing my hands upon iny breast
or holding meditatively the beads which
hang at my girdle. When I don the robes
of fashion my fan and bouquet suggest at
once to me both coquetry and sentiment.
Every dress I wear means something to me.
I do not wear it 6iaaply with the thought I
need a dress, but rather with, the thought
that it is to represent a portion of the char
acter it will clothe. In other words it must
be in harmony with the role I play while
wearing it." Buffalo News.
Hie Sculptor or the Founder?
Many newspaper reports of the unveiling
of statues suggest tho question whether the
sculptor is as important a personage as tho
bronze founder. The latter's namo is apt to
obtain prominent mention for obvious rea
sons, while the name of tho scuiptor cannot
be found even in the list of "distinguished
visitors." There are sculptors and " sculp
tresses, who seek notoriety by means LeD t
ting venders of patent' medicines, but this
class is as well able to take' care of itself us
tho 'enterprising" bronza founder. Tho
casting of statuesjs a post intermit 'to Jus
tly, cn4 th Bwafacture of artists' colors is
aido interesting, but it 13 not yet usual to

AXi) TOWELS.
Gr.AVZ RISKS RUN BY GUESTS OF
AMERICAN HOTELS.
The I'erilit of I'tilni; Cheap and 1'usty
Toilet Noap Ilastroti Kflect on tho
bliiii Disease C.eruiM in the l'ubKo
Waith Itoonu
Tho writer has had a wids experienco
imong tho great establishments of New
York, and in only two has found a toilet 8xip
that was really of sujerior quality. Muny
proprietors purchase cheap Castile and ixor
c-ottonsoed oil soap by tho hundred bars
and cut these, into convenient cukes. They
cleanse well and generally are free from
coarse ierf umes and poisonous coloring mat
tcr. But nearly all brands of this class aro
poorly in ado and strongly alkaline. They
not only attack the skin aud eventually pro
dueo sores, but they also irritate tho mouths
of the ijoroa and eat into the glands aud the
oil they contain, Their use gives a clean
Skin, but one that is dry, rough and inelastic.
Frequently, after a few days, dried white
patches rise and fall oft, tho lips anil nostrils
chap and a general feeling of uneasiness and
even iositive discomfort results. Worse
than these are the cheap and pasty toih-t
eouis so ninth in vogue. They are made
from rancid vegetable oils and half decom
loswl acid animal fats with impure alkalies,
i:i the shortest time and the cheapest manner
possible. To cover up their foulness or poor
workmanship, the manufacturer color then
with brilliant dj-es or very dark dyes, and
with the rankest essential oils the market
affords.
A cake taken from a second rate Broad
way house is a good ease in point. It has a
neat oval form, a strong but pleasant odor,
lathers freely, and is of a handsome rich
brown hue. To any but an expert it would
appear a superior article, while to a. hi'tei
proprietor it olTers, besides all thta attractive
qualities, the far nvyu fascinating element of
extreme cheapness, fclareful examination
and analysis show that the brown colca eon
peals a slovenly workmanship, which would
otherwise bo cxjK'sed, in irregular masua
varying slUi o.n4 eonsistenov, anJ t
etrqiUS esstmtial wlrve U Zaothor rank
n V of putrt.fucti-- and nauseati raw
matorliua. . ... ... a ,
. 1 - amount of tho oils is so largo
. . iO act as a rubefacient aud even an irri
tant upon the skin.
The writer once experimentally rubbed it
on his face and allowed tho thin saponaceous
film to remain ten minutes before washing
it off. On its disappearance he found the
cuticle covered by numerous red points inter
mediate in appearance between acne and
eczema, which lasted twenty-four hours be
fore the face resumed its natural appearance.
Such toilet soap applied to women of fine
complexions but of sensitive skins would ruin
their appearance in less than a fortnight,
and would in the long run produce a condi
tion of the cuticle which would require
weeks of medical treatment to restore to its
pristine state. Far worse would be its use
upon babies and young children. Their skiu
is finer and more delicate than can be easily
dvsscribod. Irritated by such soaps it would
break out into painful eruptions and in a
short while thereafter into running sores.
Tho evils described apply chiefly to the bed
room and bathroom; those of the public
w;uili room are far worse. Here a larger
cako is employed, and almost invariably one
whoso workmanship is so inferior that with
tho slightest use it becomes pulpy or sticky.
Iu this condition it does all the harm men
tioned, and besides this it may act and fre
quently does act as a vehicle for disease
virus and disease germs.
A person suffering from a akin complaint
or from some blood disease, which manifests
itjolf In cutaneous disorders, ulcers or other
sores, uses the cake, and by the mere friction
of rubbing loosens scales and pieces of dis
eased matter which are retained by the glu
tenous surface of the soap. These may or
may not contain the virus or tho germs re
ferred to. If they do the next person who
uses the cake runs a serious risk of absorbing
the contagion and becoming a sufferer from
the same disease. So bad are matters in this
regard that the only safe rule for a person
solicitous for his health is to never use the
soaps supplied by hotels for patrons and
guests, but to always carry hisbwn with
him or to try a fresh cake, no matter how
great the temptation may be to use tha'i
which is freely offered in places of public ro
sort.
More objectionable yet are the unwieldy
roller towel, tho saloon towel, and the long
and broad towels of the wash room. These
under any and all circumstances are a dis
grace to the bouse that uses them and an in
sult to its customers. The towel remove
moisture from tho face and hands by rub
bing. The friction does more, however, than
remove moisture alone. It forces off scales,
pieces of dead skin, lymph from cuts and
abrasions, mucus from the nostrils, perspira
tions from the pores, pus from sores and
ulcers, and anything liquid that may be ex
creted from the body or may have been
thrown upon its surface. The fibrous and
interlaced structure of tha towel make it a
marvelous receptacle and catch all for these
varied substances. They remain in its inter
stices until it is washed, and even long after,
unless it is thoroughly boiled and rubbed
with strong laundry soap or treated with Ja
vello water or chloride of lime. It is all very
well for the first man who applies a towel of
the class mentioned to his face and hands;
the sooond man runs a risk, and tho risk in
creases arithmetically with each ur-er.
