W. B. Slutzand wife, of Carthage, Mo., died Sunday. The remains will be brought to Kirkpatriek for interment. that being the home of Silas Peterson, the father of Mrs. Slutz. —Lafayette Call: H. H. Lancaster went to Crawfordsvllle to-day to interview a man under arrest who was supposed to know something of the robbery of his own residence some months since. The errand proved fruitless.

Tlie Temperance Meeting.

Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather a good audience greeted Rev. Jas. 1'inkham at the court house last night, and it can be truly said that the people were delighted with his oratory. He speaks again at the same place tonight. He is an old soldier and a Quaker minister. Everybody ought to hear him.

WABASH COLLEGE LIKE.

The white hat has faded. There is talk of hiring a base ball coacher from the Indianapolis team.

Vannicc, '03, is overseer in the zoological laboratory and one of the best specimens..

The base ball team cannot go into practice too soon if anything is to be accomplished during the coming season. With the proper kind of work Wabash can easily win the pennant. She has to do this and must go right to work now.•

THREE BILLS.

Alarming Deductions Taken from New Cork's Recent Statistics. Every person's character must be revealed by the bills he contracts, not by the bills he pays, for he does not always personally contract the bills he pays nor pay the bills he contracts. A glance at any man's actual and per sonal bills must surely reveal the sort of a man that he is.

Let us hope, says the Youth's Companion, that this is not true of nations, states or cities. If we were, as a people, to be judged by the comparison of our drink and gambling bills with our bills for schools and churches how hopeless our national character must appear.

It is not probable that the city of New York.is in this respect worse than other American cities, but tha figures recently published recording the expenditure of that city in the year 1893 for schools, amusements and drinks are alarming as well as Instructive.

The city's public school bill for the year naiflod, representing the larger part of the expenditure for education, was four million dollars. Its amusement bill—the sum which it paid for its theaters, circuses and other public shows—was seven million dollars. And its drink bill was sixty million dollars!

It is needless to make any comment upon these figures. The proportion holds good, or nearly good, of the whole country. What Is wasted upon drink and loBt in speculation and other forms of gambling would vastly more than double the salaries of all the teachers and preachers in the United States.

Postal Card Dunning.

There is a very general impression among merchants and others, who are particularly interested in the subject, that it is a criminal offense under the United States laws to mail a dunning letter written on a postal card. A person wrote to the First Assistant Postmaster General asking for information, and received a reply giving the decision of Judge Thayer, December 14, 1889, on the wording of a postal card that was mailable and one that was not. The mailable one reads: "Please call and settle account, which is long past due, and for which our collector has callcd several times, and oblige." The unmailable one reads: "You owe me $1.80. We have cabled several times for same. If not paid at once, we shall place it with our law agency for collection." The last sentence, it is stated, ruled out this communication. Postal cards are not mailable if they contain language of a "threatening character," and it is a very serious threat to tell him that you are going to sue. him. There is no law, howwver, to prevent you from putting an on your card to let your debtor understand that you are really cross with him.

A Request to Saloon Keepers. At the meeting of the Charity Organization last night, a committee was appointed to see all the saloon keepers and request them not to sell liquor to persons who have been aided by tlie organization. It is a most reasonable request and ought to be complied with. If it is, each saloon will be furnished with a list of those who have been helped.

Wants Some Money.

Mrs. Lizzie Champion has sued W. D. Jones, the administrator of the estate of Amanda Driscoll, deceased, for damages. Mrs. Champion avers that, she cared for Mrs. Driscoll several years previous to her death and never received any pay for it. Her claim is submitted in the complaint and amounts to several hundred dollars.

Captain Nannie Huff, a well known and retired citizen of Yankeetown, who has been a member of the Ananias Club at that place, has given up his place and all hopes of hearing from Washington City again and has gone to canvassing a county near Clifton Ford, Virginia, selling a book of "How the News Carrier Got Kidnapped," for Mr. Dunham, who lives in a little town by the name of Sliannondale, east of this place. Captain is a well known soldier who is now getting too old to funn, therefore his friends think it best for him to canvass for books.

RESUMED.

The Marin* Hank at Milwaukee Reopens for Uusluesft. MILWAUKEE. Jan. lfi.—The reopening of the Wisconsin Marine & Fire Insurance Company bank Monday was an occasion for general congratulation. The. bank is the oldest and biggest .financial institution in the northwest outside of Chicago. Its resumption is expected to restore more confidence than anything else that could possibly happen. All the bankers in the city called to offer congratulations to its officers. Hundreds of the leading business men and many ladies were sjlso there, and the event, particularly during the morning hours, partook of an elaborate but informal reception.

The receipts for the day aggregated 1800,000, which was far beyond the expectations of the officers. Notwithstanding the long suspension of the bank nearly allot the formerdepositors have announced their intention of resuming business there.

Outside of 1200.000 paid to the city of Milwaukee as the first installment on the claims the disbursements for the day were $9,550. This was mostly in small amounts to poor people who need the money for their taxes or other purposes. To many of those the reopening of the bank was most opportune. The bank reopened with 11,181,803 cash, with first-class loans aggregating 13,111,058, every cent of which is collectable, and with other assets, including 1,304,103 worth of stocks and bonds, 1144,925 worth of iron ore certificates, $63,082 worth of overdrafts and 105,302 worth of claims. This makes the total resources of the bank worth $5,937,470. The liabilities of the bank at its reopening were $5,314,879. On all of these deposits, with the exception of about 8150,000, extensions were obtaiued from the creditors to enable the bank to resume.

William Plankinton has interested himself in the plan for the resumption of the Plankinton bank, and lie thinks the bank will be enabled to resume by February 1.

TRIPLE SUICIDE IN PARIS.

Tired of the Struggle for Ilread M. Caubet, Hit Wife and Daughter lle« PARIS, Jan. 10.—The city is stirred by news of the suicides of M. Caubet, brother of the late chief of police, his wife and daughter. Caubet was 83 .years old, his wife of about the same age and his daughter 23. They lived in a pretty and comfortable flat in the Rue des Martyrs. Recently

Caubet had lost heavily in business. The daughter had tried to support the family by giving music lessons, but could not ^arn enough for them. As matters grew worse all three resolved to die. They sold some of their furniture and used the money to buy a sumptuous dinner. After eating they paid and dismissed their one servant They signed a paper explaining their troubles and their motives in taking their lives, then pasted papers over the cracks in the doors and windows and lighted two charcoal fires. Each swallowed a vial of laudanum.

BOY AND HIS PISTOL.

Coming 'Armed to School He Blew Hli Own Brtlni Out. (tuning a Panic. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—The Cranch public school in East Washington was thrown into a panic when Grover Hummer, a child 7 years old, was seen flourishing a pistol that he had brought from home unknown to his parents. He remarked that he was going to shoot some one, and then, apparently changing his mind, said he would shoot himsell Pointinf his pistol to his head he accidentally pulled the trigger and blew his brains out. Luckily no one was injured in the scramble of children to get outside.

Took a Din Risk.

WAIIKGV. Pa., Jan. 16.—An insurance agent of this place last week wrote policies for the largest amount of insurance takeb out by one concern in the history of fire insurance. The amount was $15,000,000 and covers the property of the United States Leather company, which owus all the great tanneries in the hemlock belt of Pennsylvania. The risk was taken by two companies.

Pnroell's Debts Not to lie Paid. CINCINNATI, Jan. 16.—Creditors of the late Archbishop Purcell are informed by letter from Mgr. Satolli that the propaganda at Rome has finally refused to take any action in the niatter of paying their claims. The deceased archbishop owed them some $4,000,000 in savings deposits, and the appeal to Rome was their last hope.

Lived Over Century.

JACKSONVILLE, 111., Jan. IB.—Mary Clancey died at the home of her grandson, Jerry Clancey, in this city. She was 102 years of age, and was a native of Ireland, though she had lived the greater part of the century in this country. She was a devoted Catholic. She had had a large family of children, most of whom are dead.

MOUNT PLEASANT, la., Jan. 16.— Charles and Harry Schreiner, 16 and 14 years old respectively, of Salem, had returned from church Sunday night when Harry, the younger, retired and Charles began to clean his rifle.

BIRDS WITHOUT COLOR.

Those That stnjt the Loveliest Songs Are 2tlie Dingiest in Plumage. It is noteworthy that in almost every race and climate the colors of nocturnal animals are dingier and gloomier than those of their diurnal allies and representatives, says the Cornhill Magazine. This difference is due, of course, to sexual selection, which cannot exert itself upon colors or spots in the darkness. The butterflies, for example, are beautifully arrayed their night-flying cousins, the moths, are dull-gray or whitish.

Day birds are often decked in brilliant hues, like pheasants, toucans, macaws and sun birds the owls and nightjars, on the contrary, are dull and inconspicuous. Our English swift is just an aberrant humming-bird .who has taken to hawking flies in the northern twilight and grown black accordingly. Most parrots come forth in gorgeous red, blue and yellow but the nocturnal New Zealand owl parrot, whoso name sufficiently proclaims his skulking nature, has acquired a coat of dingy gray-green, exceedingly like that of many owls and goat-suckers. And so on throughout. A creature so brightly colored as the blue-faced mandril or the great bird of paradise Is always sure to display his fine feathers or brilliant decorations to his observant mate in full flood of sunshine, while, conversely, night roamers, like bats and ratels and wombats and bears, are always remarkable for their unobtrusive coloration.

One way exists, however, in which nocturnal animals may make an effective display to attract their mates, and that is the system of phosphoresoent flash signals adopted by the glowworm and firefly. It may also be noted that an unusually large proportion of nocturnal animals have musical voices or make loud love calls.

The nightingale and nightjar are well-known instances in point in northern climates. Visitors to southern Europe will remember to their cost the tree frog and cicadas that make sleep impossible, while the howler monkeys, the laughing hyenas and the screaming lemurs of the forest are equally familiar pests to tropical travelers. All the loudest and most persistent voices are voices of the night.

The whip-poor-will and the katydid are as common in Massachusetts as the cuckoo in England, while tlio strident noises made by the numberless insects which rub their legs against their sides so as to attract their mates effectually banish sleep in many parts of tropical America.

A TRAMPS' RENDEZVOUS. The City ot Denver a Favorite Meeting Place.

San Francisco and Denver are the main dependence of tramps in the west, ^f one meets a westward bound beggar beyond the Mississippi, says the Century, he may usually infer that the man is on his way to Denver and if he is found on the other side of that city, and still westward bound, his destination is almost sure to be "Frisco," or at least Salt Lake City, whioh Is also a popular "hang-out." Denver has a rather difficult task to perform, ior the city is really a junction from which tramps start on their travels in various directions, and consequently the people have more than their share ot beggars to feed. I have met in the city, at one tlmg, as many as one hundred and fifty bona-flde tramps, and every one had been in the town for over a week. The people, however, do not seem to feel the burden of this riffraff addition to the population at any rate they befriend it most kindly. They seem especially willing to give money.

I once knew a kid, or "prushun," who averaged in Denver nearly three dollars a day for almost a week, by standing in front of shops and "battering" the ladies as they passed in and out. Ho was a handsome child, and this, of course, must be taken into consideration, for his success was really phenomenal.
