A man can stand without arms, \yuhout legs—I have seen a man who cai|, Corporal Tanner—but no man can stand who has not backbone.’’ Further on he said: “Backbone is pot always the quality of sticking fast;| :j Is often having courage to change. ’ Frederick the Great's message to his Parliament, ’I have Just lost a battle, andfit w’as all my own fault,’ required backbone. It sometimes requires backbone to retreat.” The lecture throughout was made ’bright with pertinent anecdote. The le. |urer’s manner carried much conviction [as his words: h!s speech was eloquent, and he used a large vocabulary. There was an audience that packed the church.

Xo Wine at the White Hou»e. Washington Sped*I Chicago Record. An interesting feature of the dinner recently given to President and Mrs. Cleveland by Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle was the entire absence of wines and liquors from the table. There were two glasses at each place, one for Potomac water and the other for apollinarls. Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Lamont, Mrs. Carlisle, Miss Morton and Mrs. Wilson, of the cabinet ladles, are all tetotalers and never touch wine on any occasion. Colonel Lamont says that he has never tasted whisky In his life, and It U well known that he never drinks wine af dinners. Secretary Carlisle used to drink a good deal, but has not touched a glass of anything intoxicating since he entered the cabinet. Mrs. Cleveland and all the ladiriz of the cabinet, with the exception of Mrs. Carlisle, serve wine at dinners and lunches for the benefit of their guests, but Mrs. Carlisle says that no wine or liquor of'gny kind has crossed the threshold of her home since the inauguration of President Cleveland.

Ind.. reads as follows:

-“I have a land problem for you to solve, as I *te in an article published in The News that you solve problems by rules cf your own. Therefore. I would like you

“A and B buy a farm of 330 acres at $1 : an acre, or $320.

Before they recovered the body, they took a man’s black shirt from the water. When first taken from the pool there was no blood on the remains, but soon blood flowed from her eyes, oars and nose. Her face ’was scratched. There were scars over her eyes and two gashes In her lip*. There were also marks on her throat resembling finger prints. The witness saw a trail leading through the weeds, over the bluff toward the Kellar house. He followed ti, and on a log found what appeared to be blood spots.

“This letter is more amusing than any other received relating to such problems. Like alt others, the writer gives prices at which the land is to be divided, which Is as unreasonable as to ask to have ten divided by three without a remainder.

Special to The Indlanapoll* New*. Frankfort, Ind., January .TO.—Henry Kunts, a florist, was found In his greenhouse, last night, unconscious. He died In a short time after being discovered. It was at first thought be had committed suicide, as he had been in poor health for some time, and had often remarked to his wife that life to him was not worth the living.

It was tit the effort to solve the problem bv algebra that I came upon my method of solving all problems of a like nature. I can say positively that the correct price

The rt* trouble In ail questions of the nature of |he ditch problem is encountered in tryg to make fractions of price agree with actions of articles. The fraction of difrence must always agree In articles diided, because you convert money, or price, into division of articles. The question of cost, or price, has nothing to do with it. except relatively, and is often mis-

Lisbon, January 30.—While King Charles was returning to the palace to-day, after a drive In an open carriage, accompanied by an aid-de-camp, an anarchist workman threw a stone at His Majesty. The missile, however, hit the ahi-de-camp, who Jumped from the carriage and seized and held the anarchist until the latter was arrested by the police.

Mr. Lawyer submits the following problem, for solving which he has rules, short and simple: Three men—A. B and C— own land adjoining a faiiu or 160 acres, which Is offered for sale at $40 per acre. li*eh wants a portion of the land, and they agreed to buy It in partnership, each to receive his portion adjoining the land which he already owns. The land is found to be of dissimilar values per acre, and the land A take* Is worth 38 more per acre than the land that B takes; and the land that B takes is worth $6 per acre more than that which C takes. How much land must each get. and at what price per acre does each take hi* Interest? Or suppose A pays $2,600. B $2,000 and. C $1,900—the other condition* remaining the same. In this case, how many acres does each get, and at what price? Or suppose C. who has the least investment. to take the highest priced land, and A, who has the greatest Investment, to take the lowest-priced land. How many acre* does each get and at what price? Answer to first form of problem: A gets 44 acres, B 64 2-3 acres and C 6l 1-3 acres. Answer to second: A gets fifty-one and thlrty-slx-slxty-fourths acres, B gets fif-ty-two and thlrty-two-slxty-fourths acres and C gets fifty-five and sixty-six tyfourths acres.

State Claims That the Girl Wa* Dead Before Reaeblag the Pool.

Special to The Indianapoli* New*. Terre Haute, Ind., January 30.—Perhaps the moat convincing witness yet put upon the stand by the prosecution !n the Kellar case was Lawrence Shanks, fifteen years old, who underwent a most rigid examination yesterday afternoon. He told his story In a frank a«d earnest manner, and It appeared to make a decided impression upon all who heard it. The defense evidently felt Its weight, for the boy w as subjected to a most trying cross-examination. It failed to shake his story, which was to the effect that he had traced his sister’s tClara) footprints down the dusty lane toward the Kellar house. This lies In a direction opposite to that which the girl would have taken In going to the pool. Parley Shanks, thirteen years old. and Ethel Shanks, her ten-yeai-old sister, told of the circumstances previous to and attending Clara’s disappearance. The last witness called last evening was James Wilder, who testified that four or five times during the afternoon he had seen Maggie Kellar watching tne searchers from the kitchen window of the Keltan home. The prosecution to-day is attempting to show that Clara Shanks was murdered on the afternoon of July 6. and that her body was concealed under a bed at the Kellar house, and was carried by night to the swimming hole, where It was deposited, to give the appearance of suicide. Ellsworth McGinnis, a fifteen-year-old boy, testified that he was In the pool on the afternon of July 6, and waded over Its entire bed, trying Its depth. - He swore pad lively that there was no body there theft. George Farley testified that he met Dan Kellar near the Shanks home on the afternoon of the 6th. and asked him for a chew of tobaCoo. Keller produced a ten-cent
