Mont., Nov. 21.—The Crows have come Into their own again. What was once the old site of Fort Custer, one of the most fa mous military posts of the Northwestern frontier, where the United States troops for a Quarter of a century held in check the fierce red men of the mountains and plains, has reverted to the original owners of the lands, and the Crow Indians now gather to discuss the ancient glories of their tribe. The parade ground has become an Indian village. The barracks have been dismantled and hauled away to be used in constructing Indian huts. The commanding general’s fine residence Is now the domicile of old “Whlte- Earth-on-the-Forehead,” who stables his favorite pony in the grand recep tion room where formerly gathered the military chieftains of the white error. Already more than one hundred Indian shacks have been constructed from the materials taken from the old fort, and daily the red men gather round the historic old ruins, fighting over some choice piece of timber. It is the irony of fate that the site of the old fort, wrested from the Indians by force of arms, should in time return to the keeping of the iden tical band of Indians, from whom It was taken, and who to-day are making their camp fires Just where their tepees stood before Gen. Custer was massa cred, and before the permanent inva-sion of the “Crow country” by the wh Ite soldiers. AusJ* GENERAL PRESENTMENTS. Grand Jury of Superior Court, Kail Term, 1904. To His Honor, George T. Cann, Judge of Superior Court, Chatham County: The grand jury for the fall term of the Superior Court submits this, its general presentments: It has investi gated by committees the various de partments of the county government; has examined the books of the county treasurer, tax collector and sheriff and of the magistrates in the various dis tricts; has inspected the public roads, drainage and convict camps and the county buildings and has visited a part of the public schools. Owing to the fact that it understands the books of the County Commissioners are to be examined by expert accountants at the beginning of the coming year, there was no attempt to go over the books of that office. The books of the treas urer were found correct and in order. In the tax collector’s books there were some entries which the committee did not understand. The grand jury is of the opinion that the system of book keeping in that office is to some extent faulty. The records of the sheriff’s office show a condition of affairs dif ficult to understand. The grand jury believes there Is en tirely too much laxity In the collection of executions for overdue specific taxes. Fi. fas. were found for a large sum, probably thousands of dollars, a large part of w r hich the sheriff advises w’ill probably never be collected, part ly on account of the imperfect laws governing the collection of specific taxes. The grand jury is informed that It is useless for the sheriff to attempt to satisfy executions In many instances as the delinquents have no property on which he may legally levy. In the case of an execution for the collection of a liquor dealer’s tax, the only prop erty liable is the contents of the bar, which In few instances Is sufficient to cover the amount of the tax. The grand jury understands it to be a cus tom to allow liquor dealers to do busi ness before the tax is paid, and It is of the opinion that this practice should cease, and that no authority to do business shall be granted until the full amount of the specific tax has actually been paid. In view of the limited time and opportunity afforded grand Jury committees for examining the books and reoords of the various county of fices, this grand jury recommends the employment of experts to make stated examinations. The Committee on Magistrates found the books of all the magistrates cor rect, and kept in accordance with law. The grand Jury recommends legisla tion, increasing the fee 9 of the magis trates In the districts beyond the cor porate limits of the city to conform to the fees allowed such officers with in the city limits. An examination of the county jail reveals a condition of affairs that, in the opinion of the grand Jury calls for Immediate remedy. We find that lu natics. so adjudged by the Ordinary’s Court, and confined In the Jail, are not removed to ihe State Asylum as promptly as they should be, the fault being, not with the county, but with the state authorities. There are now In the Jail (or were on Nov. 22). two negro women who were adjudged in sane Sept. 13 and Oct. 4, respectively. The condition of one Is most pitiable. The woman Is blind, Is a complete phy THE CURE OF WOMEN'S DISEASES tDr. Hathaway, who is well and favorably known to you all, would like to see nt hla office, or have a letter from, ladies who are afflicted with any disease peculiar to their sex. He would especially like to know of such as have doctored with a family doctor for a long time, or who have been constantly buying advertised remedies in drug stores, without, of course, deriving anything more than a temporary benefit, even if that.. To such as these Dr. Hathaway has a message that is cheering— a treatment that is perfectly curative. The doctor has as many pa tients among women as among men. and he has for years studied them In public and private hospitals and in his own practice, and from the success he Is having in cur ing their diseases he firmly believes that no woman can make a mistake in confiding her case to him.

We are informed that permission was re ceived from the state authorities Nov. 22 for the removal of one of the wom en. We are also Informed that one female lunatic recently died in Jail, where she had been for four months. The lunatics are kept on an upper floor of the jail along with the other wom en prisoners. We recommend that this praotice be discontinued, if possible, and that such means as humanity de mands be taken for the better care of the unfortunate insane. The grand jury also recommends a change In the fare of the Jail prison ers which consists of a cup of coffee and loaf of bread for breakfast and a loaf of bread and bowl of soup, con taining about six ounces of meat, for dinner. This fare, it is understood, is unvaried throughout the year. It is recommended that some slight change be made, this being possible, in the opinion of the grand jury, without in curring additional expense. The con dition of the jail building generally is good. The Court House needs no im provement. The grand jury commends the consideration which prompted the placing of beds In the petit jury room for the use of jurors detained over night. The principal public roads of the county are In excellent condition, with the exception of some repair work, which is now in progress. The convict camps are In good con dition with the exception of the bed ding in camps Nos. 2 and 3, which is filthy in the extreme. There is very little sickness in the camps. The county drains, ditches and waterways are open and in good condition. The public schools visited by the grand Jurv are In a most satisfactory condition. The work of the teachers is thorough and the discipline is all that could be desired. While recognizing the humanitarian Interest of the court in its charge, ad vising an investigation of the practi cability of the use of one or more in each of the public school buildings as places for physical recreation and mental Improvement for boys, as a partial remedy for street loafing, and indorsing the suggestion of the court, the grand jury is advised that the school authorities do not favorably consider the plan and 1 do not deem It feasible. The members of this grand jury ac knowledge the clear exposition by the court as to their duties, and have en deavored to discharge these duties to the best of their ability. They also ac knowledge and appreciate the courtesy of the court officials. They respectfully recommend the publication of these presentments In the dally papers. Nov. 25. 1904.

Tampa, Fla., Nov. 25.—Mayor Salo monson has attached the Tampa Bay Hotel, with the aid of a portion of the police force, working under their nominal authority as deputy sheriffs. This was in the nature of an attach ment to secure possession of the prop erty which he is reported to have re cently purchased. The step was taken just about the dinner hour, the guests being seriously discommoded by the action, and the whole affair quickly assumed the size of the usual Tampa sensation. Tu a short while Scott & Son had made a 150,900 bond for the property and were again In peaceful possession of the property, while the crowds con tinued to toss verbal bouquets at May or Salonionson. Recently It was reported that the hotel property had been purchased by F. A. Salonionson, representing him self and a syndicate. Within the lust few years juuuy reports have been In circulation about the sale of this property, and hut little local attention was paid to the last reported sale, es pecially when It was noticed that pos session did not change. One storv Is to the effect that the Hcotts, who have 'been In possession of Ihe property for the last two years, have mild a considerable sum on It end unless they are considered In the J new sale, they seem to be In a posi tion to hold affairs at a standstill. It Its their claim on the property which hss now thrown It Into court. The •lory In contraction with this Is that iMWit y Min Mill JMfuji given permission to remove from the hotel certain articles of private ownership, but which had been used in the ho tel. It is said that when the Scotts traded for the hotel it was for the property as it stood at that time, and this included the articles which were afterwards removed by Mrs. Plant un der permission. It is stated that these articles were valued at about $90,000, and that unless they were returned or a deduction made, the trade would hang fire in some direction. THE OLDEST LIVING THING, Said to Bea Huge Cypres* Tree 0.200 Years Old. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. “The statement recently made that there are yews in England which are the oldest living things on earth,” Mr. Thomas C. Ireland said. “Is not cor rect. “These yews are old, very very old; there is no doubt about that; some of them were stalwart trees even when Caesar landed on these shores. There is one now standing in the church yard at Fortingal, in Perthshire, which De candole, nearly a century ago, proved to the satisfaction of botanists to be over twenty-five centuries old, and an other at Hedsor, in Buclas, which is 3,240 years old, 1 low Deoandole ar rived at an apparently correct estimate of the enormous age of these living trees Is a simple thing, and the prin ciple is doubtless known to-day to all.

He proved this after an Investigation extending over several years, and w'e know now, 100 years later, that his deductions were correct. The old yew at Hedsor has a trunk twenty-seven feet in di ameter, proving its great age, and it is in a flourishing, healthy condition now, like its brother at Fortingal. “Their years are few, though, com pared with those of the trees I had in mind when I made my first assertion that the statement printed about them in a scientific journal was incorrect. In one chapter of his writings Humboldt refers to a gigantic boabab tree in Central Africa as the ‘oldest organic monument’ in the world. This tree has a trunk twenty-nine feet in diameter, and Adamson, by a series of careful measurements, demonstrated conclu sively that it had lived for not less than 5,150 years. Still it is not the oldest organic mon ument in the world, as Humboldt de clared, for now Mexican scientists have proved that a huge cypress tree stand ing In Chepultepec, with a trunk 118 feet and 10 Inches in circumference, is older that it, older, too, by more than 1,000 years—for it had been shown, as conclusively as these things can be Shown, that its age is about 6,260 years. To become impressed with wonder over this one has only to dwell on that duration for a little while in thought. “Yte It’ls not so remarkable when one stops for a moment to remember that, given favorable conditions for its growth and sustenance, the average tree will never die of old age—its death is merely an accident. Other younger and more vigorous trees may spring up near it, and perhaps rob its roots of their proper nourishment; insects may kill it, floods or winds may sweep it away, or its roots may come in con tact with rock and become so gnarled and twisted, because they have not room to expand In their growth, that they literally throttle the avenues of its sustenance; but these are accidents. If such things do not happen a tree may live on for century after cen tury, still robust, still flourishing, shel tering, with Its widespread branches, the men and women of age after age. A bill to prohibit juvenile cigarette smoking has passed its second read ing in the South Australian Legisla ture, and will probably become law.
