To prevent any trouble incident to placing alSotteeBin the Chero keo, Choctaw nnd Chickasaw na tions in possession of their allot ments Col. J. Blair SboenMl is considering the advisability of es tabllshlng branch ofiicos of tbe Union Agency In the several land office towns. Ilia reason for this is that it will bo a great deal oaslor to han dle the business of each nation from where tbe land office is local ed than it will from the main of fico in Muskogee, as It will be at those places the cltizenB will ee leot their allotments and there will bo many casea in which the aid of tho Indian agent will be necessary to put the rightful alio toe in possession. The pretence of Indian police it ia thought will have a wholesome effect on the unruly oiemont and prevent any serious trouble. CAR ROBBER dithered In Uy Jim Kirk While Loot ing a Frisco Car.

Borne excitement appears to have been caused in tho United States by the announcement that Sulgravo tnunor, In Northamptonshire, unco tho homo of the ancestor? of dcorgc Washington, is for sale. The project set on foot in America many years ago for purchasing Shakespeare's birth place at Stratford-on-Aron and rc- crcotincr It in the new land, which claims a common heritage with our selves in tho greatest master of tho English tongue, was not allowed to succeed, and Its renewal would now be impossible. nrgo Washington, however, is quite author story. If wo make a possible exception of the ax and tho cherry tree, no legends have (fathered round his name, its lived within the memory of somo who havo not long been dead, and no cryptogram can ever oxplnin away the groat hutorlo facts of his famous ca reer. It is therefore not very surpris ing that hopes should arlso of achiev ing at Sulgravo what failed at Strat ford. Certain it is that tho projectors of tho world's fair at St. Louis are In treaty for tho purchase of the plctur esquo old house which was the abode ci the Washington in the days of their prosperity, with tho Idea of transporting it, brick by brick nnd stono by stone, to the great city which has grown up in tho far west, states tbo London Standard. It Is, no doubt, difficult to setbonnds to tho extravagance of hero-worship, especially when the hero concerned was so fine a character as tbe first president, and tbe virtual founder of a powerful state. Hut the connection of Gen. Washington with Sulgrave manor is exceedingly remote. Ills family parted with it half a dozen gen erations before he was born, and it is qulto possible that he never even heard of the place. Nor Is Sulgrave in any sonse a "stately home." It is a gabled, Ivy-covered, sixteenth cen tury farmhouse, with about the same number of rooms as the typical sub urban villa. To Americans the most attractlvo detail of the house is the presence, both within and without the entrance porch, of the Washington arms, carved In stone two red bars and three stars upon a silver ground, or in the heraldic tongue, "argent, two barsgules; in Chief, three mul lets of tho second.'' Here we certainly seem to havo the origin of the stars and stripes of tho United States, flag, Washington is known to have worn theso arms upon his slgnet-rlng, al though it has been contended by pur ists in armory that he was not per sonally entitled 4o use them. The shields were probably, nlaced In tho Sulgrave porch by Laurence Wash ington, lord of the manor, who'wns twice mnyor of Northampton in the time of Henry VIII., from whomhehad received a jrant of lands which, had belonged to the priory of Canons Ash by. Ills son Hubert was tho hut, ns he had been the first, Washington of Sulgrave, for some 30 years after his death, in 1S84, the littlo estate (which now extends to 200 acres) had to be cold, the family migrating to Brighton, not far away, perhaps to be near their powerful relations, Oio Spencers of Althorp. Laureneo Washington, thd grandson of the lord of Sulgrave, Is buried In Great Brighton church, wltn others of the name, and their tombs have long been objects of pilgrimages from over the water. Th family was very prolific Laurence of Sulgrave had It children, and his grandson, Laureneo of Brighton, 17. Two of tho sons born to the latter were Knlehted. nnd tho oldest, Sir William Washington, was the brother-in-law of no less a personage than Gcorgo Vllllors, duko of Buckingham. John Washington, who emigrated to Ylrjrlnln In 1GS0. and became the great grandfather of tho president, was the son of another Laurence, an Essex clergyman, evicted from his living dur ing tho Commonwealth. Tho pedigree of this family of old English yeomen Waa long a crux to genealogists, and It was not until that remarkable Marcher of records, the late Col. Lem uel Chester, took it In hand, that the way was made plain. He came to Eng land to settlo doubtful points during ft six months' holiday. Ho remained for a generation, and it was not long before ho died "faint, yet pursuing" .-that ho unraveled his last knot, and mado It flnnlly clear that from tho modest home at Sulgrave issued the line which culminated- In the great genius who sow sleeps amid the cypresses on tho banks of the Potomac IIott Javnncso Induce- Sleep, Dr. Stclnor observed In Java n method omployod to Induco sleep.
