ACCOBDING to the report of the Commissioner of Labor, there are 5,S3S building and loan associations in the country, with 1,227,442 shareholders and S523,S52,8S5 of assets. The number of homes acquired through these institutions is put at 314,755, which is a conclusive argument in favor of their advantage to people who would not otherwise be able to own such property.

SPEAKING of the action of the Indiana college Presidents on foot ball, the Lafayette Courier understands that they are not intent on antagonizing legitimate athletics, but are determined to break up the slugging practices which have served to bring foot ball playing into well-merited disrepute. All of which, it thinks, icSects credit upon the wisdom of the college presidents, and their timely offices should receive the hearty indorsement of public. press and students.

THE Philadelphia Press has made a careful compilation of the vote by States in the recent Congressional election. It shows that the aggregate vote wts 11,203,37". The Republican vote was 5,5S3,326, the Democratic 4,4^,450. the Populist 1,24'5,750, and the Prohibitionist 219,543. As compared with 1892, there was an increase of 413,124 in the Republican vote, a decrease of 1,405,462 in the Democratic vote, an increase of 205,724 in the Populist vote, and a decrease of 44,2901 in the Prohibitionist vote.

THE Administration is kicking up a I big muss because Spain has imposed high duties on articles exported from the United States to Cuba. Secretary (iresham imagines that the United States can abrogate a reciprocity treaty with impunity but Spain must keep her part of the contract. The facts are Spain has more right to complain about the action of Congress in reimposing a duty on her sugar for the benefit of a monopoly in this country than we have. The treaty was greatly to our advantage, but it was revoked by our Congress, and not by Spain, and now Cleveland and Gresham propose to relaliate because Spain will not Bttmbly submit.

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat: Mr. Cleveland's mind is in a state of great confusion over the meaning of two words. He is evidently under the impression that to bestow a merited honor upon a man who has served his country is the same thing as to dole charity to a beggar. Perhaps these definitions from the Century Dictionary will help to clear away the mist on this subject from his usually active intellect: "Pensioner. One who is in receipt of a pension or stated allowance, either in consideration of past services or on account of injuries received in service.'' it rrfT1—r T"1"

a

person

entirely destitute of property or means of support particularly, one who becomes chargeable to the public." By grasping this very broad distinction Mr. Cleveland may overcome the mental peculiarity which induces him to regard the applicant for a pension as a pauper and the recipient of one as a fraud.

A MAX OF IDEAS.

Judge Cardwill, the Republican Rep-resentative-elect from Floyd county, is a man of some ideas, as will be seen by what he deems as important legislation. The Indianapolis News wrote to each member of the legislature asking for views as to what "ought to be done and what bills, if any, the members proposed to introduce. The answer of Judge Cardwill was complete. He says: "Possibly, as I am a candidate for the Speakership, I should not have any bill for the Legislature. As a matter of fact, however, I have ready for introduction a bill covering the

New Zealand land transfer system commonly called the "Torrens" system. I have also two constitutional amendments prepared—one to enable the Legislature to adopt machine voting, as now practiced in some of the

New York towns, and another providing for a change in the character of the Legislature: 1. Increasing the Senators to sixty and electing them from twenty districts, three from each district, by some mode of minority representation. 2. Giving each county under 25,000 population one Representative in the*Lower House and an additional Representative for each additional 25,000 population. This is for the purpose of ending gerrymand. ers. I have in mind a law for cities under 25,000 population, abolishing wards, electing councilmen at large by minority representation, giving large powers of appointment and removal to the mayor with certain civil service reform restrictions for minor officials and also a veto power. Another law that seems to be needed is one restricting, in some way, the sale of poison by retail druggists. A pure food law of some character would be good legislation. A business-like road law would be worth more to Indiana than any £lier act that could be suggested. In ,1 am heartily in favor of any

Elation that will lift the affairs of fiana out of the mire of partisan l^ics and put them on the high

I demanded by intelligent pubion."

(Copyright. ISM. by American Prass Association.] liamar tapixv.nisioot mommy nguiust the fender and seemed wrapped in a brown study. Maxey longed for some word of encouragement or comfort from his friend, the physician. Ho had the greatest confidence in Dr. Lamar's carefully considered opinions, but this timo the physician did not seem to have any opinion to offer.

Suddenly Lamar's attention was caught by an object, lyinjiontho hearthstone. He stooped and picked it up. "Have you been burning paper, Maxey?" "No," returned Maxey quickly. "I have not.'' "What is that?"

Maxey took from his hand tho corner of a newspaper with a charred edge. Ho Keratinized it suspiciously. Ordinarily ho would have thrown such an object aside contemptuously. In the present emergency he would havo examined a pin if Lainar had handed it to him. "Have you burned any paper in this grate, Mrs. Davis?" asked Maxey of tho nurse. "Think before you speak. It may be a

very

important matter

"I have not had any paper in my hand since I have been here. That's easily settled "There has been a very large piece of paper burned here,'' said Lamar in a whisper. "See there, and there! The. black ashes are all about,''

The physician stamped his foot near the grate, and the little breath of air caused by tho concussion made a rustle of light burned paper on the floop. "It is the newspaper containing tho story of onr finding Annette!" exclaimed the artist, with growing suspicion, "a

"Wluit is thntf'

paper which I was very anxious to keep, and which Ellen was quite as particular about I left it here on tho table. What do you make of it, Lamar? What would yon do?" "I confess I am in the dark. But I am very certain you want to save that scrap of paper and to keep the event in mind. If not now, the day may come when it will snpply a most importantevidence. As for now, I would suggest that you question tho people in the house.''

Maxey proceeded at onco to act upon the suggestion. The physician, after Etopping a moment to examine his patient, put on his hat and followed him. The occupants of the floor below had heard nothing and seen nothing, but Maxey persisted with the determination of despair. He found the janitor at the foot of the stairs. "My good man," he said to him, "do you recall seeing me go out with my friend, the doctor, here, just after dark?" "I do, sir, very well, sir." "It is very important that you should not give a hasty answer to the question I am going to ask yon—very important, for a failure in your recollection may get us all into trouble." "I hope, Mr. Maxey, there is nothing serious in the matter.'' "Your Lopes are vain then. There is something very serious the matter. Did you see anybody aliont the hall after my departure?" "No, sir." "You are sure?" "I am, because, you see, I was going down cellar at the timo to look after the furnaces, and I staid below there for an hour. No, sir. I am sorry I can't help you, but I haven't seen anybody.

That's the fact of it, sir. I'd have remembered it if I had. I don't forget easy, even little trifles like that Now, there was a friend of yours here this mornine askiwr after you. anil I could repeat the whole" circumstances.'' "Repeat them, please," said Maxey quickly. "The man came hero to tho foot of the stairs. 'It's too much trouble to go up,' he said, 'but havo you seen my friend Mr. Maxey today?' 'I have,' I said. 'How is he looking?' was his next question. 'Looking fine, sir,' says 'And that invalid of his, that girl they found on the rocks, how is she coming on?'

At this point the janitor's face became troubled, and he looked a little confused. "Well," saidMaxey, "that'sTery important What was your answer. Tell ns exactly." "Maybe I told him more than I had any right to tell, but the fact is, sir, I was in a hurry and wanted to bo rid of him. Says I, 'Oh, she's all right' 'All right?'he says. 'What do you mean?' 'I mean they're doctoring her up,' I says, 'and they'll soon have her out of it' I thought he looked somewhat astonished, and I said to him, 'If you want to know any particulars, you'd better go right up and see tho gentleman himself, sir,' I said. 'Some other time,' he remarked and turned square around and walked out"

Maxey and Lainar looked at each other. There was an interrogation in both glances. "Did you ever see this lazy friend of mine before?" questioned Maxey. "Only once, sir. That's how I knew when I saw him ho was a friend of yours. He came day before yesterday and asked me the 6ame questions.'' "And wouldn't go up?" "He was averse to climbing, sir." "Can you describe him?" "Well, he was a man, I should Bay, about 40, with small eyes, near together, bushy eyebrows, smooth face and a hook nose. He wore a handsome pin in his shirt front. I don't know as I can say much more definite." "Thismeans something," cried Maxey, with a touch of his former excitement as they remounted the stairs. "And to think that our hands are tied! If only I might ask Ellen two little questions."

Lamar made no reply to this, but as soon as he reached the room he went to

"Ellen! Ellenf4 ho murmured! A slight motion of tho head indicated tliat- slio heard him. "Don't try to turn your head, dear. Don't exert yourself to answer me, but tell me, if you can, who did it?"

Tho head nodded slightly in the negafive, and the lips mado an unsuccessful attempt to frame IUI answer. "Think, Ellen! Did you turn tho key in the door?"

Again the negative motion of the head. Again the lips moved. Maxey put his ear close down and caught tho painfully whispered words: "E don't know—I was—asleep—I heard Annette cry—and then—I felt— myself—grow faint" "There, there!" cried Maxey, starting up. "Von havo told mo enough, dear. Don't try to talk any more, Lamar, I tell you there is something wrong here. This mnst be placed in tho hands of tho police. Unless my instinct deceives me this dastardly attack on my poor sister is intimately connected with the matter that kept us waiting that cold night on the sea road."

Maxey had passed from the bedside and drew Lamar into a comer near the window, a window that looked out over tho, dark, lonesome river. The black tide flowed on silently beneath the thickening ice. A chill gust of wind from tho sea passed the house with a rush. The windows rattled ominously in tlio sash.

The artist started. "How searching the wind is tonight! All, here is the mischief! The sash is not shut tightly at the bottom."

Abstractedly he closed and locked the window and came away. "Yes, yes,'' he muttered. 'It is better to go to tho police at once.

Not. to the police, good Maxey, not to tho tardy officers of a human justice— not in that direction lies the tiling of which yon are in search, but down there —down there where tho lonesome river flows silently beneath the thickening ice and all is cold and dark.

CHAPTER VL THK REPLY.

It seemed indeed that tho artist's prediction that tho mystery of tho sea road would remain a mystery forever was destined to be fulfilled. The days came and we**,t, and there were no developments to encourage a faltering and disgusted police. It was the moro strango because a full description of poor Annette had leen published in all the papers, and there had been a deal of interest in the matter. But public interest to bo kept alive must be fed, and one morning the city editors of the several dailies awoke to find a choice collection of new material for interesting reading and straightway pigeonholed tho old till duller times. And so the poor creaturowith the wounded intellect was forgotten.

A very rich man had suddenly and completely disappeared under circumstances so suspicious as to warrant tho most shocking speculations. And the newspapers did not spare their readers' feelings. The reason was simply that the newspapers had learned from long experience that their readers did not desire to be spared—in fact, would bo rather inclined to resent any such forethought on the part of the newsgatherers. For this and the other good reason that the supplemental mystery of tho assault on Ellen Maxey never got into print at all the matter dropped.

And so Maxey's great double mystery remained in spite of his almost frantic attempts to dispel it. No new clews appeared, and the old ones, like tho footsteps in the field nt Somerset, led nowhere. The police wero discouraged, and even Dr. Lamar gave it as his opinion that time spent in looking into this matter was time wasted.

Miss Maxey fulfilled the physician's predictions by getting well in a few days, but tho poor, frightened face that looked forth fTotn the pillows in the little alcove room was as pale and pitiful as ever. Tho experiments with music, as a power for good, which promised so much in the beginning, justified Dr. Lamar's forebodings in tho end. Never after that first day were tho emotions aroused in the patient of sufficient strength to causa her to lose consciousness. Music always attracted her, interested her, oven drove off for a time that monotonous motion of the hands which Beemed so dreadful to the strong, healthy people about her, but it left 110 permanent impression. It was not progressive. It was not an educator. Alas for honest Julian's simple and beautiful idea of bringing her back to her lost world!

Tho thought was too poetic for reality. In vain did pretty Ellen Maxey sing her sweetest songs. The wan face still turned with tho same muto terror upon her surroundings. The eyes never ceased tho restless search for tho horror that did not oome, and the small, white hands continued to clasp and unclasp themselves as of old.

But one day there was a change in the symptoms. A peculiar spasmodic action of the muscles of the face and limbs began to manfest itself. When Dr. Lamar saw this, his face lighted up with a sudden hope.

For a long time he had been very grave. He had gone about in a continual abstraction and had even been occasionally seen with his umbrella under his arm in fine weather, an unmistakable indication that hew is becoming absentminded. Never Ixifore had he mot with a case which baffled him so persistently as this. From tho hour when ho knelt beside her in tho snow by the sea road and had given his opinion that it was a "very serious matter" the trient had never been wholly out of his mind.

It made him angry to think that the information contained in this first statement. of his impressions of tho case as he bent, over Ellen Maxey's shoulder and saw the wliito faco looking up by tho light of the lantern was about the sum and substance of all ho had been able to learn since, bnt such was the fact What: more could ho say with any certainty today than this? To bo sure, it had puzzled older men than he, but that was small consolation to a mind like Lamar's. Tho greater the obstacles the more determined ho became to overcome them. "Either I will be tho death of this problem or it will be tho death of me," he said to himself, and with this conviction he had set to work to save his own life. Ho saw the patient so often that he photographed every look and motion she was accustomed to make upon his mind. Not tho movement of a muscle, not tho twitching of an eyelid cscaped him. He went about studying every ono of theso apparent trivialities and trying to account for it.

Just as Maxey treasured up every scrap of evidence which promised to throw any light on tho great double mystery which entirely nonplused the police, so the physician, constituting

the bedside, felt the patient's pulse and himself a medical detective, looked upon exchanged a few words with the nurse. Ellen lay with her face swollen, her throat well bandaged, breathing with great pain and difficulty. The physician turned from an earnest scrutiny of her face to the artist. The emergency seemed so grave to him that he resolved to permit a matter which ordinarily he would have been too cautiius to countenance. 'You may ask her just one question."

Maxey threw himself on a knee besido

the various symptoms of the girl's condition as so many clows to the groat pathological mystery which was baffling him. During tho weeks following the discovery of Annette ho reread almost his entire library on brain diseases. Afterward lie borrowed from a friend.

One night ho came across a passage which startled him. It was the particular statement of tho symptoms of a patient in a German hospital who died with a strango malady that completely njystiflted the physician?. The result of

tho post mortem examination appended showed that- tho secret cause of his death was a cerebral complication, tho chief factor in which was a tumor in tho brain. A footnote suggested that this abnormal growth had probably been caused by a fall.

Perhaps it- was because he watched with a uew idea iu his mind, but it was tho very next day, when Lamar ronowGd his observations at tho bedsido of the patient in Ballavoine place, that lie detect ed the spasmodic, symptoms for tho first time. The result was that he becamo convinced. He could scarcely conceal his delight, when he came to tako his departure.

Miss Maxey was a quick reader of faces, and of his face in particular. Sho stopped him at the door and said shyly, but determinedly: "You have some good news for us, but you aro so afraid that we shall be disappointed that you hesitate to tell it?" "No," said Lamar, "but I think! have located her disorder. However, I am not an authority in this matter. I shall bring some friends here, with your leave, this afternoon."

Ho smiled so pleasantly to himself that Ellen was delighted. "Surely, if this bo true, you will know just what to do to cure her?" "Cure? I said nothing about curing. No. It is necessarily fatal in its results.

She flashed one look of horror aid indignation into his faco and turned away without a word. Poor Dr. Lamar forgot to smile on his way to tho street But a moment before ho had felt aglow of professional prido iu what ho ventured to hopo was tho success of a daring diagnosis. As ho emerged into tho sunlight an intimate friend might havo thought, from his crestfallen expression, that ho had met with a severe defeat

However, this did not proveut him from calling on somo of his fellow physicians, and that afternoon a council of grave and dignified men stood around the bedsido of poor Annette. If it had cost the artist anything, that littlo consultation in tho back sitting room would have proved an expensive luxury. But fortunately for him Dr. Lamar was his friend, and there was sufficient interest in the case to make these wise and highly paid individuals in black coats think it worth their while to have a hand in it for their own information.

While they were present tho artist and his sister wero excluded from tho room. When tho meeting was over, Lamar called them in. They found tho physician rubbing his hands in a state or unmistakable elation. In fact, his spirits wero so high that they somewhat obscured his vision. He did not seem to notico Miss Maxey's presence, and when Julian asked him how tho case stood he burst out with an enthusiasm which would have dono credit to the artist himself. "I was right! I was right 1 They havo agreed with me exactly!"

Miss Maxey suddenly burst into tears and left the room, "She is overjoyedl" cried Maxey. "Unfortunately, no," said the physician, biting his lip in vexation. "I ought to have known better. I told her

"1 ivas rlghll I was rhjht!"

this morning that if my diagnosis was correct the disease was necessarily fatal. You must tell her, Maxey, that I made a mistake. I thought so at tho time, but I find I was mistaken. There is one chance iu a thousand that by submitting to a dangerous operation which will be very likely to either kill or cure her tho patient will recover. Without that operation she is doomed to suffering and death."

THE BIG STORE

Wishes Its Many 'Friends and Patrons A Happy New Year.

Hay There Be Peace and Plenty on All Sides For Every Day Of 1895.

We have just closed the most successful year of our business experience, every day of '94 showing a healthy gain over corresponding day of any previous year.

This is truly food for reflection, remembering that the count!y has just passed through perhaps the most calamitous period of its existence. The closeness of money matters forced many manufacturers to sacrifice their products at much less than regular values. This fact enabled us to procure many special bargains which were sold as bought, very cheap. Also we have never for one moment lost faith in our belief that our friends would continue ihe liberal patronage they had before bestowed. Lastly we have spent much money in advertising the offerings we made.

These things have all contributed to the grand result. We are never satisfied to duplicate our past success and therefore will make extra efforts to make a corresponding increase in '95 over our phenomenal business in '94,

With this end in view we shall shortly inaugurate the greatest cut price sale we have yet attempted. Watch this space for list of the many grind bargains we will offer.

In the meantime to us for all your desires as we can save you money on your smallest purchase. Again thanking you for your liberal support we remind you "It Pays to trade at The Big Store."
