WOMEN-

Woman, in her purity of nature and the eminent superiority of hor character is to a man impulsive, careless, unconcerned, what a brako in to an enginec She modifies and softens the harder and "more acute lines of his nature, and lends to him ati nap ration that makes him more anxious to occupy'a position on the Bame exalted plane which she-occupies. Some ono has truly Raid that a good woman could wield a more telling influence in her sphere in life than all the books that can be rtuui or all the lectures on morality that ii could bo delivered. And as it is a pc argument that will not adjust itself both ways, it stands to point of truth that an evil woman in any position in life can ennse incalculable wreck and ruin. I feel justified in saying that if it were not for the refining influences of a woman's life and gtmotal character men would occupy a much lower strata in the world's gradations than they af present occupy.

The woman is the educator of tho youth, tho coming man, the mother wields undisputed sway in the character moulding process that will either make the loy pure holy refined, or turn his at* tentions to things base and dishonorable. Home will not agree with roe in this

i" theory and will use as an argument that they have known the sons of pious mothti era to turnout very badly, Granted but does not the exception prove the rule. I mvself htvvQ seen similar in**J" stuncee but^ let us look at the mass, for black sheep do alwaysstand and mow* prominently when in contrast with a drove of white ones. Take Washington, (JarHold, Grant, Cleveland, yea, take almost any man occupying an exalted position in the country's present government or history, trace their lives, you will find thatnefrly all if not all bad praying mother?!, ||at guided their feet in the pat)is of rectitfde and right and their sons stand before them to-day and call them blessed. 1 would rather, said Dean

Stanley, lose everything elce I ever knew, than to forget tho loving devoted mother who has lavished upon me all the love of her warm motherly heart, and to whom, through God, 1 owe everything I possess. John Wesley, the great leader of Methodism, has said God and His kingdom first, mother and mother's love next. Wife, brothers, sisters, all may desert, but a mother's love lasts forever, and often when her loved one lias gone from earth she is never tired of watering the green grave with her tears as a mate expression of her never dying love.* Oh, woman, God has indeed placed yon in no Secondary position, He has pat von in a high place, He him, \ndeed, exalted you to a position where yon may shine, and the soft radiance ot your beauty will make you more doubly able to occupy Uutpowtlon which God has gu?« yon, that of snpretnacy.

Ism AX AI»otifl, July 1.—The monument erected in the state house grounds in honor of the late

Vice-President

Hen

dricks was formally dedicated to-day. The city is liandsomely decorated in honor of the event and in accordance with the mayor's proclamation the date was made a general holiday afternoon, business being entirely suspended. At an early hour in the morning special trains began to arrive from the principal sections of that and adjoining states and the avenne leading from the depot was one continuous procession of pedestrians. The parade, which moved at 1 o'clock, was. under the command of General Fred Knefler, grand marshal, and was nearly two miles in length. Among the outside bodies were the Iroquois Club and Cook County Democratic Clubs of Chfcago, the Hendricks Association of St. Louis, the Dutekworth Clnb of Cincinnati, the Commercial Club of Louisville, and Democratic clubs from Dayton, Columbus, Ft. Wayne, Evansville and other poinfs.

When the' head of the column had reached the monument the exercises were formally opened by Governor iovey, who made a brief welcoming address to the immense throng. Seated on the main platform were Governor Hill, of New York, Governor Campbell, of Ohio, Governor Francis, of Missouri, Senator Turpie, General Dan Sickles, of New York, Senator Calvin Brice, of Ohio, Clement Studebaker, of South Bend, and over two hundred other prominent guests. Back of this platform was an amphitheater which was occupied by the chorus of 700 school children. After Governor llovey's address, President Kami, of the monument association, was introduced as chairman for the occasion The invocation was pronounced by liev. Joseph Jenckes, of St. Paul's church, the hymn "America" was sung by the children's choir, under the leadership of Prof. Henry M. Butler. Vocal xnusic was also rendered by a male chorus, under the direction of Prof. Belcher, and then amid loud and prolonged applause Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks pulled the rope and the cauvaes rolled back from the magnificent monument. Simultaneously a salute of nine guns answering to tho name of Hendricks was fired by the Indianapolis Light Artillery. When the applause and booming of cannon had died away General I^ew Wallace was introduced ami read the following dedicatory ode by James Whitcombe Riley: Prfdo of thy Wostlnnd, and loved of the nation

The oration of the day was delivered by Senator Turpie, who spoke at length upon the life and character of the dead statesman.

Senator Turpie, on rising to deliver the oration of the day, was received with loud and prolonged cheers. Prefacing his remarks with a reference to the earlier ears of the last century, in which the knightly and chivalrous Jean Baptist© Bisaot, Sieur d« Vincennes, lost his life in lmttle with the Indiana, leaving his name to the old poet upon the Wabash. The orator gave a lengthy sketch of the deceased ftatesman. His parents, he said, belonged to} the pure, high-hearted patrician race of the frontier, well worthy to be the founders of cities, states and communities. The lather was a farmer, owner of the lands he ntilixed, builder also of the house he first lived in, while the son, afterward the vice-president of this great nation, had. when grown to sufficient age, taken part in the lalnjra of the field and household. Many years afterward in Uie meridian of his career hejpleastntiy recalled the time when he used to see the miller all white with dust standing in the door of his mill while aa a boy he waited patiently until the rack with grist in it was ad listed to the home's hack for his homeward ride. The orator referred to the first appearance ol the deceased vice president in public life as a representative from the eonnty ol Shelby in the General Assembly and in which capacity he left upon the minda of his colleagues such an opinion ol his abilities as laid tite foundation of that respect and esteem in which he always continued to be held by them ami their constituencies, A touching refehencc was made to Mr. Hendricks' marriage to Miss KlUa Morgan, of North Bend, Ohio, in 1S4S, and all eyes 'for the moment were directed towards the widow ol the deceased who bowed her head. Coming down to war times, tho orator said that as a Senator Mr. Hendricks constantly acted a*3*i voted in aid of the »vernment in twar measure looking to* the snpresetfon of anned ii»itrrections against its authority, although he always lveerred the riehi, a Senator fraely to discos^ th« civil policy of the administration. Hia wuare^ionsand amenlm«nt8to thepemlnigbilis for the maintenance of the national forces then In the field were so timely nsefnl and important as Ireqoentlv to command the ap^vval of the majority of tiiC ebni^on politksdly adverae tob»tk'W.

At Uw eonciiwiMi of tii« civil wat, in Utat «lay whkli saw the snrreeder of Use Oonfedeiwte item twne^lhe o«estion as to what dfepoeaUon ahoaid bo nutile of the Mates whose peonte had taken part In the insurwetion Mp^l to »ubvt^t the This «at« partem mm fsp#aW to BiMAw ia the midst oI tils tettn white in UM? whole raage of former

and misprnd ence there was no precedent lor the solution thereof. Under the policy in vogue among the ancient republics

during

their rise and progrP® for cen

turies, the conquered inhabitants of a revolting state or province were treated in all respects as foreign enemies. The principal powers of modern Europe had pureued a similar course. The dealings of the British government with insnrgent subjects, with rebellions in England, Scotland, Ireland and elsewhere,

afforded only a long recital of proscription, attainder, confiscations and Executions—tlie ""severest pains, fines Sind forfeitures of a mercilcss penal^code. Here were no doubt pre«dents, bnt none for the Senator from Indiana, toward whom at this time every eye was turned as upon one known to be unjust to the interest of no section, devoted to the well being of all. The problem was peculiarly American, only to be solved by a wise and comprehensive consideration of the laws, the institutional theories, political traditions, and history of our own states arid people.

In this crisis of deliberation he stood upon his side, almost alone. With the immutable calm and quiet which sustain the high spirit upon such occasions, at a very early period in the debate upon the bill for the establishment of military governments in the Southern states he took this position: "I desire this to be a Union in form under the constitution, and in fact by the harmony of the peo pie of the North and South. I deny that at the close of the war there were no state governments in the Southern states. The constitution of a state when it has once been admitted becomes apart of the national compact. I deny that the people of that state have tne right to destroy its government and thus cease to be within the Union. I deny that a convention, a legislature, or any other assembly whatever can voluntarily exter minate the existence of their state gov eminent and thus cut off their connec tion with the federal union." And again he said: "I deny that any act of thestate as a question of law, can have the effect to destroy the relation of the state to the Union." Practically, the relations were disturlied, practically the state was for a time not in harmony with the general government. But its existence as a state, its constitution and laws, except those enacted in aid of the rebellion, continued all the way through the war, and when peace came it found the state with its constitution and laws unrepealed and in full force, holding that state to its place in the federal government.

The orator continued to review the career of the deceased as governor, private citizen and vice-president, and in con elusion said: lie was truly a man of varied learning and attainments, full, also, of that

wisdom borrowed from the schools pandly, persistent, brave, not distrustful of fortune, willing, for the cause which he espoused, to put all men lawfully may to the hazard and of a faxed fidelity to principle which brooked in its course neither despair nor discouragement. Faultlessly discreet in conduct, equally undislurbed by the clamor of dissent or favor, with calm, clear, intuitive discernment ,in the adaptation of means most excellent to the noblest ends, witli almost marvelous prevision of effects though he purposed more}, yet he accomplished much for his country's welfare. Had he lived in the age of classic antiquity, an apotheosis might have followed his demise. In one supremely critical juncture of our national affairs, for many days, like Fabius of old, he walked and safely kept the field of peril, meriting in this the simple yet au?ust decree of the conscript, fathers: "He lath deserved well of the republic." We unveil here to-day this monumental figure reminding us of his life and presence in the goodly fellowship of these storied emblems of tho administration of law, and of history, wherein he bore so large a part. His fame depends upon material yet more enduring, the fabric of his words and works, ennobled by the atriotic aims to which they related, •or it may well be believed there was something alxmt such a one, of that within which passeth show. He had genius—the genius of statesmanship alike befittingtiie majestic assemblies and the highest councils of a free people. To genius belongs the hereafter. In the vast halls of the Intiire its greetings are heard, its audiences are held its posterity throngs to the reception. In their midst it moves glad with a radiant nimbns of glory, and neither time, nor chance, nor change, nor things past or present, nor things to come, of whatever moment, may dim or tarnish its unfading splendor. r**

of Flyers.

There was an unusual scene nesa&d in the mayor's office building last night about 10:^0 Sitting in a chair at his hon busily engaged in writing letter man of medium stature, raj some features, dark mustache hair, and in his dress and beai those subtle graces that haractefeze the aiUuent gentleman. As stated f^ore, he was busily engaged in writing letters. He did not seem to be awa^ of the •presence ol a comely ^jirl ol prepossessing face and queenly figure, who stood near his side looking^istfully down on what he wrote. She#wi^ not tall, nor was she short her head seemed to be one of those that reach so naturally and gracefully to the height o|a man's shoulder. She was dressed with scrupulous neatness in a Summei garment of delicate tint and texture.

This man and this young lady occupied the positions described when a haws reporter presented himself in fhe open door. The only other occupapt of the room was a gentleman wearing a gold badge and the look of an officer. It was Detective Dwyer, and he had the gentleman at the mayor's desk nnd# vigilant surveillance. From the latter'sdemeanor, however, it could not possibly have been detected that he was under arrest. He was as cool as a cucumber and pursued his work of letter writing, with as much earnestness and composure as nothing whatever had gone wrong. He was none other than Alfred Post, the high-flying horseman who has been in this city for more than two months, stopping at the Terre Haute House, and the young lady by his side was MiSS Hattie Burns, a pretty type-writer, who used to work for Mr. Post in Chicago. The latter was pinched at the.Teire llaute House early in the evening on a telegram from Superintendent Marsh, of Chicago, who stated in his message that Post was wanted for ertibezzlement.

Later in the evening'after Miss Burns had gone away and had sent an elegant supper up for Post, THE |NEWS reporter lulled a chair up by his side and asked lim if he had anything to say to the press. He replied that he had nothing whatever to say that he had employee McNutt and McNutt as his counsel and that they would answer questions so far as they saw fit. "Youafe aware, I suppose, insisted the reporter, "who it is that is responsible for your arrest. "S "Yes" "Would you object to telling me?" "I presume it is Francis A. Riddle, a lawyer of Chicago." "Does this trouble grow out of the difficulties that you were involved in at Chicago

Boms

time ago?".

"I have no idea." "Were those difficulties* ever adjusted?" OT* "Yes, they were all settled."* "You sued the Chicago newspapers for libel, did you not?" %*X^k£? "I sued the Journal."

Was that suit pressed?" "It will be pressed fast enough." S "Hasn't come to trial yet?" "No it takes the devil's own time to get a case tried in Chicago." "Would you object, Mr. Post, to giving the public some information regarding the young lady who is with you?" "I consider that a very impertinent question. The public has no right to inquire into my private affairs." "Is she your wife?" "No! I don't want you to put any more questions to me." "We have to be a little impertinent at times," said the scribe, "in order to get the news. I hope you will not answer any questions that you do not wish to answer.*' "The press is prone to misrepresent a man, and seldom does any great good by its enterprising inquiry into such matters as the one under discussion." "I believe the reporters of Chicago ran the Cronin murder mystery down," suggested the scribe. "That's true," was the reply. "I have alwayB considered reporters the best detectives on earth."

This compliment to the followers of his calling served to effectually shut the NEWS senbe up. He permitted Mr. Poet to go on with his snpper without further interference.

B1G BANK SUSPENSION

•r

the BneiMA Ay re* Bmlu

NEW YORK, July 1.—Three esbl& *mee-' Sages have been received by commercial bouses in this city from Buenos Ayres, advising that the Argentine National Bank has suspended payments. The Banco National is the principal bank ol Buenos AyreB. The capital of the bank amounted to about" $10,000,000 and the amount of deposits to $45,900,000, it being the -depository of the national government. One ol the leading merchants doing business with the Argen tine Republic states that the financial condition ol late has been very "Unsatisfactory. The president, Juarex Oel man, determined on a policy of reform by making all necessary economies in the expenses ol the country and instituting changes in the national bank. This necessitates the resignation ol certain directors 61 that institutions. The minister of finance, Senor Unburn, rather than demand such resignations, retired in lavor of Dr. Garcia* In carrying out the projected reforms and insisting upon the resignation of certain directors of the National bank, it is supposed that a suspension of payments has been caused, but the merchants having the largest interests with the Argentine look upon the movement as one, which, although it may be temporarily prejudicial to many merchants

Buenos Ayres, will ultimately result in on advantage to that country by putting finances dpon as sound a basis as the agricultural industrits, which, it is said, nave never been more prosperous than at the present time.

LONDON, July 1.—The Times, in publishing a special cable from Buenos Ayres yestenlay announcing the suspension of the national bank, made one of those colossal blunders to which it is liable at times. The announcement caused intense excitement and was credited most ot yesterday on exchauge and in business circles generally, and was telegraphed in all directions. The failure of such a bank with $45,000,000 capital including the funds of the Argen tine government would be worse than a revolution and caused consternation here. The markets of the world were affected. It took many hours to get the rumors set right and it was quite late in the day before the actual facts were known» that the bank had merely passed a quarterly dividend, and there is no hint of suspension. Some excitement continues in Buenos Ayres over the bank's action, but

he credit ot the institution is in no way iffe lected.

YATES' GOSSIP.

Prince George and the Jamaica Exhibition. NEW YORK, July 1.—Edmund Yates'

London cable to the Tribune

Bays:

It is

now definitely settled that Prince George of Wales will arrive at the Jamaica ex hibition about Christmas, and both the Queen and Prince of Wales are sending out pictures and other interesting objects to it. Prince George will remain in the West Indies for a year and then he is to return to England nnd give up the command of the Thrush. On promotion to the rank of commander, I'rince George will probably be appointed to one of the royal yachts, mostlikely the Osborne. 3ir Henry Blake has been working very hard at preparations for the Jamaica exhibition. The Governor is stirring up the islanders from their long torpor wonderfully and the exhibition must do an immense good to the place, even if it be not a financial success, for it may bo difficult to recoup guarantees of 3,000 shillings out of a shilling admission.

THE ELSTTIOH BILL DlSfUSSIOS tOJSTIM KS IN THE llOI'NE.

The Knteinbed Miners .Reached at Dnatmr— All of Them Were Dend —Other Information Told by

Wire To-d»y.

WASHINGTON, July 1.—The House resumed consideration of the election bill. Lehlbach's amendment which required the appointment of supervisors in all districts was further discussed. The Democrats favoring and Republicans opposing, saying there was no necessity for the increased expenses and machinery when not desired or whor there was no cause to suspect fraud. The Democrats urged what was good for one district ought to be applied everywhere. Wilson said the trae object of the bill is to perpetuate the Repuolican party and strike down freedom of representation in this House.

The vote on the amendment resulted: 133 yeas, 138 nays. All the Republicans excepting Lehlbach and Cheadle voted against it. Hemphill offered an amendment which provides for the board to tabulate the returns, and requiring the supervisors in such district to report direct to the speaker. This is now being disposed of, and is generally opposed by Republicans.

Oates spoke against the bill, saying it gave opjxrtunities for much greater frauds than have ever been practiced under the present law. Mason said, on the contrary, frauds have been of common occurrence in the South in the past, and this bill is for the especial purpose of preventing that. He said in one district of South Carolina the ballot boxes had been stolen and never returned. This was denied by a memljer from that state, but Mason insisted his statement was true aiid was supported by tho record.

The report of an explosion occurring about 2:30 p. m. at the Fuel Gas Company's works on North Second street it is claimed was circulated by an employe who had been discharged for cause, and that there was not a word o{ triilh tu itc A NKWS writer visited the plant this"" morning and failed to discover anv evidence of the occurrence of any explosion, which could have shaken the sash out of frames or the glass from sash or do any other damage. The htury of the company's agents is probably the most plausible. The sound, as if of an explosion, heard in that neighborhood this morning at the hour named may have proceeded from some other cuuse.
